Line 8:
The solution? Let the audience [[Take Our Word for It]]. Keep the [[Unusual Euphemism|limber lambada]] dancers off screen and have [[Reaction Shot|witnesses tilt their heads]] or turn the magazine sideways, preferably with their mouths [[Jaw Drop|agape]]. Their conversation may be vague about what is happening, yet still implying something kinky is happening, possibly at an oblique angle.

== Advertising ==
* Played straight in BT Broadband ads circa 2011, where after running from a house with a slow connection to one using the above brand, something (unseen) appears on the screen, prompting this response and (to paraphrase) "no, guys, not on my stag night, she'd kill me!"▼

* A Bud Light ad from around 2010 ends with one of these involving a debauched tourist, a customs officer, and a camera that has to be rotated 90 degrees.
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
* The opening quote in the [[Naughty Tentacles]] entry comes from ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'', when Mugen is looking at an ukiyo-e catalogue. In the English dub, he says "Damn, doin' it with a squid!".
** Clearly a reference to ''The Fisherman's Wife'' so imagination might not be needed so much.
* Partially used in an episode of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' since you can see parts of the images in question. Revy and Rock are talking to a very bored Balalaika while she's editing porn videos.
{{quote|'''Revy:''' Hold on a sec! Is she takin' it up the ass?
'''Balalaika:''' *Completely deadpan* ...Sure is. }}
* In the ''[[Love Hina]]'' manga, Kanako dresses Mutsumi up as Keitaro for a role play exercise ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]). Mutsumi is quick to point out that she has not left any detail untouched by lifting the robe she's wearing. The reactions of Naru, Shinobu and Motoko are this combined with bug eyes.

▲== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* One random ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' fanfic called [http://florestica.com/dbsommer/azumanga/se/index.htm "Sex Education"] brings up the consequences of Minamo-sensei's drunken sex-ed lesson from the anime when Chiyo-chan mentions part of it (she doesn't know) in an actual sex-ed class. Nyamo is promptly called up to the office to speak to the principal, and ends up demonstrating to a skeptical principal that it ''is'' possible for a woman to, quote, "{{smallcaps|expletive deleted}} her {{smallcaps|expletive deleted}} with her {{smallcaps|expletive deleted}}" ("after a few minutes of contortionism, Minamo unwound her limbs, satisfied that she'd proved her point"). The principal is promptly transformed into "to a copy of Kimura, right down the fogged up glasses and detached jaw", and develops a convenient [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia|episode of amnesia]].
{{quote|'''Minamo''': "My gym coach in high school said I had a slinky for a spine-"}}
* ''Featherbrite's Tale'',
* In the ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]/[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'' [[Crossover]] ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2544224/1/CSI_Death_by_Chocolate CSI: Death By Chocolate]'', Greg Sanders has this reaction to an adult Violet Beauregard, now a contortionist in the [[Cirque du Soleil]], combing her hair. With her feet. From behind.
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'' did a variation of this. "Oh! [[Naughty Tentacles|That's]] [[Interspecies Romance|not]] ''[[Glamour Failure|right]]''!"
* ''[[The Simpsons
▲* ''[[The Simpsons Movie|The Simpsons]] [[The Movie|Movie]]'' had this with some adorable forest critters watching Marge and Homer do the horizontal tango.
** Speak for yourself. It looks more like they are in severe need of [[Brain Bleach]].
* The donkey show in ''[[Clerks II]]''.
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
* ''[[Cheech and Chong]]'s Next Movie'' plays this apparently straight at first, then shows you what the character was looking at. Kinky? Yes. Sexual? Not terribly. Weird? '''You better believe it!'''
* ''[[What's New Pussycat?]]?'' ends up at a rendezvous hotel where the suites are named for famous lovers - the concierge gets a call and tells her husband "The gentleman in 'Marquis de Sade' asks for twelve loaves of bread and a Boy Scout uniform!"
* Weirdly inverted, in Maurizio Nichetti's ''[[Volere Volare]]'': the head tilt is inspired not by the porn movie playing
* Implied in the Dudley Moore vehicle ''Wholly Moses''; the Sodomites' orgies are off screen, but ''Herschel's'' own head literally tilts as he watches them.
== [[Literature]] ==

* In one [[Ciaphas Cain]] ('''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!!!''') novel he enters the hideout of a Slaanesh cult and the walls are covered with pornographic artwork prompting the following exchange:

* The short-lived sequel to ''[[Babylon 5]]'', ''[[Crusade]],'' had an infamous porn film "Snow White and the Seven Narns", courtesy of the [[Jerkass]] anthropologist, which got the captain and chief medical officer to head-tilt. It later came in handy to distract guards of a prison for a daring rescue. Perhaps too well, as even the thief was distracted to the point of head-tilt!
** It was actually a ''whole'' '''lot''' '''''weirder''''' than most could imagine. The article in question was actually "Who's Your Little Pak'Ma'Ra", and involved an encounter between one of the eponymous species and a human female. That's kinky enough, but the ''really'' kinky part [[
{{quote|'''Captain Matthew Gideon''': That's an amazing thing, technology.}}
* ''[[Friends]]:'' Phoebe's (sister's) porn, ''[[Parallel Porn Titles|Buffay the Vampire Layer]]'' sparked this too. Also shows up a bit with the pose in question being passed around on a yellow pad (either legal or post-it), provoking remarkably candid comments; [[I]] think it was done on ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'' (Nina said "that one's physically impossible, that one's tricky, that one's okay if you're both really flexible"), [[I]] know it was on ''[[The John Laroquette Show]]'' ("He might just be drunk, but ''he's'' definitely gay.")
* There was an early ''[[Three's Company]]'' where Chrissy was typing a very raunchy romance novel written as a diary (which at the time they thought was a real diary.) Jack, reading over Chrissy's shoulder, first did the head-tilt, then attempted a strange contortionist pose, finally exclaiming, "That's impossible!"
* From the improv show ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'', the drawn-from-a-hat topic for a mini-sketch was something along the lines of "disturbing slide shows". So, Colin Mochrie is showing Ryan Stiles his (imaginary) slides:
Line 87:
''Brad runs on stage behind him and 'watches', tilts his head, and keeps it tilted as he walks off.'' }}
* While there isn't anything particularly kinky implied, in one episode of ''[[Coupling]],'' all of the characters go to watch sex tapes that [[Casanova|Patrick]] made with his conquests and pretty much watch them nonchalantly while making commentary.
** There is an anguished cry of "She's never done that with ME!" from Steve when he {{spoiler|thinks he}} is watching the tape of Susan. What she is allegedly doing is never discovered. {{spoiler|It's not her, as she indignantly points out to the oblivious men. Her bottom is smaller, for starters.}}
* A sketch on the Australian show ''[[The Wedge]]'' had an athlete showing photos on his mobile phone to his publicist, who advises him to delete each one. The final photo has the phone turned on its side, and the publicist pauses before requesting a copy.
{{quote|''Publicist:'' How does she --
Line 98:
* In an episode of ''[[Becker]]'', Margaret and Linda accidentally come across porn on the Internet. After a few clicks, they tilt their heads to try and figure out what's going on. In another episode, Bob wrote a check for Reggie, and Reggie was surprised to see a "woman" on it. Bob explained it was actually three women and a donkey, and if you flick it they move.
* Steve and Marcy in the ''[[Married... with Children]]'' "I'll See You in Court" got this reaction when the court ordered a tape of them having sex to be shown (it was a case in which a hotel has been covertly recording their guests and then rented it out to other guests), with a brief mention of handcuffs.
** Earlier, when Al and Peg watched the tape, Peg commented: "Whoa, I didn't know a human leg could do that. Oh, I want that! Oh, and I want that! And I DEFINITELY want that!" They also both did the head-tilt.
* ''[[The King of Queens]]'' features the Heffernans' photos getting mixed up with those belonging to another couple with a similar last name. The second time it happens the other couple's photos are full of sex acts, which Doug tries to get Carrie to do with him. "You want me to do this?" "And this. And this. And assuming we can find the right kind of chair, this."
* ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'' is always hinting at kinky hijinks between Tracy and his wife. One episode had them start going at it with Liz still in the room, prompting Liz to ask in shock, "Oh no, you guys start with that?"
** Another episode had Jack Donaghy look out Liz's window and prompts him to say "Wow, that man appears to be making violent, passionate love... to himself." Followed by "You have to admire his stamina.", and "Is he in a board meeting?"
* ''[[Lou Grant]]'' had two reporters going undercover as a married couple, staying at a sleazy motel which had porn on the television which they couldn't turn off. Joe (the male reporter) was watching the television avidly, with Billie (the female reporter) making snide comments about "That's not sexy, that's just foolish", etc. At one point Billie stops, tilts her head and says, "Now ''that's'' sexy..."
* On ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'', an alien assigned by the Big Giant Head to be Dick's wife (played by [[Roseanne]] of all people) goes through a book titled ''The Joy of Sex'' with [[
* In "House-Training", a third-season episode of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'', Wilson unwittingly takes Cuddy to a fetish photo exhibit at an art gallery. Their
* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', over the protests of her sister and friends, Dawn opens up one of Giles' guidebooks on demons, and remarks, "That's a weird place for a horn ... that's not a horn." She then quickly closes the book. After a few seconds, she opens it again for another look.
* On ''[[Reaper]]'', Sock and Sam get one of these when they watch Sock's (Step) Sister doing yoga.
** Since she was an [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]], it was more "Ooh, bendy!"
* ''[[Herman's Head]]''. Herman and Jay are seen doing this while watching a nude female
* A ''[[Jonathan Creek]]'' special had a sub-plot about [[Jerkass|Adam Klauss]] investing in a company making 3-D porn. At one point, he demonstrates it to Jonathan, shown on screen by the pair of them doing synchronised head-tilts while suggestive sound effects are played. The [[Fridge Logic]] on that was particularly bad, considering that following the sound of a zipper being undone, both men lean apart and look inwards...
* ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]'' has an episode where a patient uses porn for pain
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', during the episode ''The Bracket'' Barney shows the other characters a scrapbook of his
** It's stated in one of the commentaries that it's meant to be Wendy.
** Variations of this happen in several HIMYM episodes since Future Ted doesn't want his kids to know too many of the details.

'''Bishop''': Yes, yes, but first, one question. Who is the second figure? Who could you have got to perform such deeds, to have gone lower than man has ever gone, to have plunged the depths of degradation in order to save your filthy life?
''The bishop pulls back the sheet. It is Percy. He shifts uncomfortably.'' <ref>
* An episode of ''[[CSI New York]]'' has Danny and Hawkes find a sex tape during an investigation, recorded over a walrus documentary. [[Played With]] as the audience gets glimpses of the tape, but downright hilarious as Adam (the AV [[Lab Rat]]) and Lindsey are also tilting their heads at the footage.
* ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' has this in a few episodes.
** In "Adult Education", Blanche reports a teacher for sexual harassment. The dean takes out a form and begins to ask questions about the incident. He stops at one of them, saying "Good Lord, I can't ask you this! I can't even ask my wife this! *tilts head* I'd like to, though..."
** In "Isn't It Romantic", Sophia rents a porno movie [[Dirty Old Woman|allegedly]] by accident and they all end up looking, with varying reactions.
{{quote|'''Dorothy:''' What are they ''doing''?
'''Sophia:''' You know what they're doing, we had [[The Talk|that talk]] when you were twelve.
...
'''Rose:''' It reminds me of my Uncle Ricky's rabbit farm!
...
'''Blanche:''' Oh, I did that once! ''[the others stare at her]'' [[Flat What|What?]] It was his birthday.
Note she didn't say that until they accidentally put the tape in reverse.
* In one episode of ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', Uncle Phil has joined a monastery after Hilary posed for Playboy against his wishes (even though Hugh Hefner promised the photos would be "tasteful"). Will pays him a visit with the issue in question. When Phil opens the issue, he finds that Hilary's naughty bits are obscured by a article title, and proclaims "She's covered up! Hallelujah!" Then Will pulls out the centerfold and says, "But she ain't." The two tilt their heads, and both respond with "...hallelujah."
* The [[Character Title|title character]] and [[Those Two Guys]] in ''[[Castle]]'' are seen staring at a web site, questioning "how is that position even possible?", with identical head tilts. Further head-tilting is provoked when the lead female detective glimpses at the screen and matter-of-factly states "Oh, it's possible."
Line 147:
{{quote|'''Castle''': "Hmm. You know, you should moonlight. Seriously, you would make a fortune. Come on. Haven't you ever wanted to do... something with your handcuffs other than arrest criminals?"
'''Beckett''': "No. But there is one hot... wild... kinky thing that I do like doing."
(Castle's elbow slips off the table,
'''Beckett''': "Putting killers behind bars."
'''Castle''': "See? You're already a tease. You're halfway there." }}
Line 174:
'''Doctor:''' Yeah, but he's only a lawyer.
''(doctors leafs through book in shock)'' }}
* On an episode of ''[[Party of Five]]'', Claudia rents what she thinks is ''[[An Affair to Remember]]'' for Kirsten for her wedding shower, but a porn tape is in there instead ([[
* In ''Hope & Faith'' Faith provides the Gooch with a diagram of a position she wants them to try. He turns the piece of paper upside down and remarks "I don't think I bend that way".
* ''[[Charmed]]'' gives us a live witness version. Leo and Piper are in the club on a rowdy night with quite a few scantily clad girls dancing on podiums. Leo tilts his head and says "can you do that in public?"

Line 195 ⟶ 193:
** Just her? The Tainted Coil IS this trope.
* In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' the player can explore the H&H Tool Company's work computers and (along with seeing the {{spoiler|rapidly slipping sanity of Anthony House}}) view the inter-office romances and trysts, all of which involve such objects as riding crops, egg timers, and various other odd objects.

* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/8/21/ featured this] when Gabe and Tycho released the Fruit F***er in "Omega Mode" on a horde of zombies. Its actions weren't shown, but were accompanied by spurts of blood and lovely sound effects like ''SQUICH'', ''SKUTCH'', and ''P-KUSH P-KUSH P-KUSH''.
{{quote|'''Tycho''': ''(in disbelief)'' What is going on? Why is he...? I thought that...}}

▲* On ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the episode they went to Brazil, Bart was watching a kids TV show hosted by a woman in a very [[Stripperific]] outfit. The bit on 'counting' had scantily clad dancers writhing around on giant letters and a showgirl demonstrates "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" using the tassled pasties on her chest. As the shot cuts away from the show, the host says "On top of... beneath!". Marge and Bart can only stare in disbelief.

* The ''[[South Park]]'' episode "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" revolves around a porn video, "Backdoor Sluts 9," that the children accidentally come to possess. All the adult men in the episode recognize the title instantly as the "single most vile, twisted, dark piece of porn ever produced" (without ever saying why). It's not until late in the episode that Token explicitly (pun intended) describes some of the tape's contents, which include salad dressing and DVDA.
* Very mild example in [[Kaeloo]]. In the episode ''Let's Play Happy Rotter'', Kaeloo, Stumpy and Quack-Quack tilt their heads with quizzical expressions when watching a documentary in which a male crepidula [[Gender Bender|turns female]] for mating purposes.
