'''Eddie:''' Yeah, well... You have no idea [[Double Entendre|how hard it is]], being a man looking at a woman looking the way you do.|''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Film)|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''}}
For some men, it's very easy to forget what they are doing when a [[Hello, Nurse!|gorgeous woman]] strolls past and lose control, doing things like walking into walls, tripping over themselves, dropping fragile objects, etc. Mostly a comedy trope.
If this induced intentionally by the woman in question when [[We Need a Distraction]], it falls instead into [[Show Some Leg]].
Line 76:
== Fan Works ==
* ''[[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|Nobody Dies]]'': When Asuka first gets into her plugsuit as Unit-02's new pilot (it's a long story), Shinji walks by one the way to a test. Once he [[Male Gaze|gets a good look]], a wall decides to say hi. Combining this with the multiple situations of [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]], it's a wonder that Asuka hasn't gotten over her socialization issues.
* A male example occurs in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', with Kyon somehow stopping a fight between people he didn't even know were there by... getting out of the bath.
Line 140:
** In an episode, the ''cameraman'' is Distracted by the Sexy and drifts over to film some beach volleyball players instead of James May and the Honda FCX Clarity he is reviewing.
** Another episode has Jeremy Clarkson explaining about the "most dangerous time of year to drive" being in the summer:
{{quote| '''Clarkson:''' Sunny skies, light breezes, [[Hello, Nurse!|girls]] [[She's Got Legs|wearing]] [[Stripperiffic|short skirts]].}}
** Invoked by Jeremy Clarkson during Hot Hatchback challenge when they [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueBOKLl1LWE#t=369s raced around the Monaco GP Circuit]:

Line 164:
* ''[[M*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]'': In the episode "The Moose," Hawkeye is playing poker with a soldier who has a Korean woman as an "indentured servant," so Hawkeye tries to win her and thus liberate her. To effect this, he has an earpiece in which Radar (from a distance using a telescope) is transmitting the opponent's hand. But Radar gets distracted as a nurse wearing only a towel on her way to the nurse's showers walks by.
* ''[[Night Court (TV)|Night Court]]'' does this when Harry has to arm-wrestle a stereotypical Texas big-money type to save a orphanage. He holds his own for a bit, but starts to lose -- so Christine, the 'sweet innocent' type, waves to get the guy's attention and flashes her breasts at him. Everyone else is focused on the match, so nobody else sees her do this. The Texan later tells her it was [[Worth It]].
* Used in a short film (no memory of a title or origin, sorry) entirely shown through the scope of a [[Cold Sniper]] about to shoot someone coming out of a hotel -- but who's distracted by a woman stripping down to her underwear at a window. It comes to the point that the hitman ends up too late to shoot the target, whom gets into a car, and he starts cursing loudly. Then the voyeur witnesses a man, probably a jealous boyfriend, entering the same room as the woman, slapping her and pulling a handgun... and the sniper shoots him. (Thus being an extreme form of a [[Wife
* A few TV bloopers involving this trope:
** ''Life's Most Embarrassing Moments'' showed one blooper where a TV reporter was doing a report at a beach when he got distracted by a bikini clad girl who walked by, resulting in garbled lines and the cameraman focusing on the said girl.
Line 178:
** See also "The One with the Cast of ''Night Court''".
* One suspect on ''[[Monk (TV)|Monk]]'' was a woman who had been blinded by an accident years earlier. Monk proves that her blindness was only temporary (despite her pretending to still be blind) by convincing a male streaker to run past her. She reacts with approval and gives herself away.
* ''[[
** BBC's 2011 [[Comic Relief]] benefit featured a six-minute ''Doctor Who'' short in which the TARDIS is endangered because of this trope. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51JtuEa_OPc Here's part 1.] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkmiefoRcfU&feature=relmfu And Part 2.]

* There are a lot of things that [[Wikipedia (Wiki)|Wikipedia]] considers to be un-noteworthy. [
Line 250:
* In ''[[Soul Calibur]] 4'', you win either because you played with your eyes closed or you're already living a sexually satisfied life. ''If'' you win without these two, then you're probably a genderless robot or some other video-game-playing species entirely. Or happen to be disinterested in women while playing as Ivy.
** Or, y'know, both player characters are male. Though this trope doesn't always involve women being the distraction- [[Squick|Voldo is pretty damn hot.]]
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', when {{spoiler|Midna is in her true form, Link's eyes are glued to her. She lampshades that along with [[Heroic Mime]].}}
* The Sexy Nightwear apparel in ''[[Fallout New Vegas (Video Game)|Fallout New Vegas]]'' gives a bonus to Charisma, which relates your Speech and Barter skills.
* This is actually an ability of Jessica in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)|Dragon Quest VIII]]''. Put skill points in her Sex Appeal and monsters will start missing turns just to ogle her. Her own allies, [[Chivalrous Pervert]] Angelo included, are immune. ''[[Dragon Quest IX (Video Game)|Dragon Quest IX]]'' has a similar effect through the "Style" stat, but it affects all playable characters and isn't limited to only sexy outfits.
Line 335:
* ''[[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|Thundercats 2011]]''
** In "Omens Part One", the first time Lion-O meets his [[Bodyguard Crush]] Cheetara his voice cracks. Lion-O later [[Exploited Trope|feigns]] this, using the sight of two passing women to avoid mentioning a vision he saw in the Sword of Omens.
** In "Journey to the Tower of Omens" Lion-O, trying to master Sight Beyond Sight and failing, gets flustered when Cheetara tries a [[Hands
** In the same episode, Tygra openly [[Longing Look|gapes]] at the sight of Cheetara using her [[Super Speed]], which Panthro lampshades with a smirk and a chiding:
