Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:telescope 7542.png\|link=Sinfest\|frame]] {{quote\|'''Girl #1:''' Ben's hot, but I think he's gay. '''Girl #2:''' No way. Why? Line 27: *** it's [[Filler]], so Naruto is obligated to not understand. * Belldandy in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' frequently misses the actual meaning of people's comments, in one scene in the anime a construction worker speaking to Keiichi remarks that Keiichi probably doesn't get much sleep living with Belldandy, to which Belldandy asks both of them how living with her would keep Keiichi from sleeping. * The protagonist of ''[[Goblin Slayer]]'' is a little… single-minded, and has some baggage, so he often misses hints, especially from interested girls. In particular, ''Goblin Slayer: Side Story Year One'' has a true Clueless Anime Protagonist moment, when Witch couldn't identify a magical ring GS found and sent him to a colleague. The sage girl in question was rather ~~excited~~excitable, ~~to see~~and it was something she was searching for, and… {{quote\|'''~~Sage~~Arc mage''': ''I'll pay any price you ask.'' '''Arc mage''': (moves very close and smiles) ''Or… I would love… for you to sell this to me…'' '''Arc mage''': (with hands folded under breasts, her blouse straining to keep it in "Entendre" territory) …Should I say… I'll do anything you ask? Line 52: == Literature == * In ''[[~~Discworld/~~Guards! Guards!~~\|Guards Guards~~]]'', the older, more cynical guards assume that young and innocent Carrot joined the Watch to get away from a bad situation at home. One of them asks him if he "got a girl into trouble", and Carrot, recalling all the times his girlfriend was lectured by her father about how unsuitable he was, says that he did, more than once. He also admitted to staying at "Mrs Palm's" (a notorious brothel) every night, impressing his co-workers, though Carrot was actually under the impression it was a boarding house. His letter home to his family included a line about one of the girls waking him up to ask if he wanted anything "but they had no apples so I said no." Non-sexual [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] examples abound throughout the series as well. * In ''[[The Shining]]'', Danny, who has telepathic powers, catches a female hotel guest checking out a bellhop and thinking, "I'd like to get into his pants." Danny, who is five years old and clueless about things sexual, takes it to mean that the lady wanted the guy's pants and is thoroughly confused. He has to talk to Dick Halloran about it before he's informed that this wasn't what she wanted (though Danny being five, he just tells him that she has a dirty mind).
