== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* One random ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|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'', an entry in Gregg Sharp/Metroanime's Bet series (based on ''[[Ranma One Half]]''), describes a... spicy dream to the audience, replacing the [[NSFW]] parts with phrases like, "Oh ''boy'' is that censored."
Line 48:
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'' did a variation of this.
** Oh! [[Naughty Tentacles|That's]] [[Interspecies Romance|not]] ''[[Glamour Failure|right]]''!
* ''[[The Simpsons (Film)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]]''.
{{quote| "I'm disgusted and repulsed and... and I can't look away."}}
* ''[[Dogma]]'' plays with the trope when the Golgothan throws down with a crew of gang-bangers in such a way that the heroic onlookers tilt their heads as if trying to understand the combat.
* ''[[Clue (Filmfilm)|Clue]]'': the photos of Col. Mustard's rendezvous at Miss Scarlet's specialized hotel.
{{quote| '''Mrs. White:''' Oh my. No one could get into that position.<br />
'''Professor Plum:''' Sure they can. Here, let me show you. (as he grabs and tries to lift Mrs. White's leg) }}
* ''[[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 offscreen but by the bizarre (to say the least) sound effects applied to same by a Foley artist who normally does cartoons.
* 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 ==
* The actual contents of ''The Joy of Snackes'', Nanny Ogg's "cookbook" in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Maskerade|Maskerade]]'' (which has recipes like ''Oyster and Carrot Pie'': carrots so you can see in the dark, oysters so you have something to look at) are only alluded to. But when Granny reads it, in increasing disbelief and shock, there does come a moment (Humorous Cake Decorations; Nanny illustrated that bit) when she has to turn it sideways.
** In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Pyramids|Pyramids]]'' the highly trained but (it's implied) virginal handmaiden Ptraci gets professionally interested in a sailor's pornographic tattoos: "That's from '101 days in Pseudopolis,' it's physically impossible... Oh look, it's the Congress of the Friendly Dog and the Two Small Biscuits! You can even see the yoghurt!"
* 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:
{{quote| '''Penlan''': I don't believe that's possible.<br />
Line 72:
* [[Tanya Huff]]'s ''[[Smoke and Shadows|Smoke]]'' series includes a guy who has found a pornographic deck of cards. One particular card makes him exclaim that he doesn't think that's ''possible'', and another character replies that "It's possible, but the second woman has to be very flexible and he's going to have a sore back later." Cue bogglement.
* The [[Tom Wolfe]] novel ''A Man in Full'' has multiple references to "that thing with the cup." Exactly what this is is never specified, but it is implied to be a particularly interesting "talent" of a female character.
** Or maybe [[Two2 Girls One1 Cup|two]] [[Brain Bleach|of them...?]]
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 79:
{{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 ''[[ThreesThree'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:
{{quote| '''Colin:''' And we call ''this'' position "Pruning the Hibiscus!"<br />
'''Ryan:''' ''(stares silently for a moment, then tilts his head sideways)'' }}
Line 97:
*** "£3000 please, to stop us revealing your name, the names of the three other people involved, the youth organization to which they belong, and the shop where you bought the equipment!"
* 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... Withwith 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 (TV)|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 (TV)|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 (TV)|3rd Rock Fromfrom 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 [[Miss Yo-Yo Knickers|Mrs. Dubcek]]. She shows Mrs. Dubcek diagrams in the book, each time asking "Have you done ''that''?" with increasing amazement as Mrs. Dubcek keeps replying in the affirmative. The last time, Mrs. Dubcek turned the book upside down and looked at it for a [[Beat]] before again saying yes.
* 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 [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky|head tilt]] moment included statements like "That is such a bad idea! There is no way that won't cause damage to the large intestine" from Cuddy and "Is that a bicycle pump?" from Wilson.
* 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 neighbour exercising. "Boy, is she limber!"
* A ''[[Jonathan Creek (TV)|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...
* ''[[GreysGrey's Anatomy]]'' has an episode where a patient uses porn for pain managment. The girls do the head tilt while checking out the video and one of them comments that "there's no way that can be comfortable". Meredith replies: "Trust me, it's not".
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', during the episode ''The Bracket'' Barney shows the other characters a scrapbook of his conquests-- very specific attributes of theirs, which apparently does not include their faces. Though we never see the pictures, they apparently include "some minor celebrities, one government official, and what appears to be a national fast food chain mascot." The government official is elsewhere established to be Madeleine Albright, but the mascot is left to our imaginations.
** It's stated in one of the commentaries that it's meant to be Wendy.
Line 121:
** "I wish I had a mum like that..." (It makes sense in context.)
** "Beat that fever right out of him!"
* In the ''[[Black AdderBlackadder|Blackadder II]]'' episode ''Money'', there's that scene in the finale:
{{quote| ''The bishop [the Baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells] is stunned by the painting and turns sideways to get it in perspective.''<br />
'''Bishop''': By the horns of Beelzebub! How did you get me into that position?<br />
Line 139:
'''Blanche:''' Oh, I did that once! ''[the others stare at her]'' [[Flat What|What?]] It was his birthday.<br />
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."
{{quote| '''Beckett''': "Only a handful of bondage shops in the city do custom work. So let's take photos of those cuffs, send it out, see if anyone can I.D. where it came from."<br />
Line 163:
'''Dan''': ''I'' respect her. }}
* ''[[True Blood]]'' had a sex scene in which a head was tilted (actually, turned 180°). Whether it was kinky, YMMV
* ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' had a variation on this in the infamous "shrinking boxers" scene as Rimmer walks in on Kryten and Lister and entirely misinterprets what's going on. Headtilting ensues.
** Another is when Kryten has been turned into a human and asks Lister how his new 'equipment' works. (For instance, the socket for the recharge cable seems to require an adaptor, as the lead keeps falling out.) Lister quickly corrects him, but then Kryten hands him two Polaroid photos. Lister squints a bit, rotating them to try to make sense of it, till he puts them together. His face is a picture.
*** "Is that ''normal''?" - "What, takin' photographs of it an' showin' it to your mates?! No, it's not!"
* The [[Cold Open]] for a fifth season episode of ''[[Law and& Order (TV)|Law and Order]]'' takes place at the tail end of a bachelor party. Two of the men comment on a porno off screen.
* On a detective show in the '70s, the hero bought a pornographic photo to use for fast-talking his way in to see someone important, implying to all the middlemen that the picture could be blackmail evidence. Obviously, TV viewers never actually saw the picture, but the reaction of all the characters, including the hero, [[Take Our Word for It|suggested]] head-tilting kinkiness; the big shot's response was, "I've never seen this acrobat in my life!"
* From ''[[Dharma and Greg]]'' while Dharma is recovering from physical therapy they go ask their doctor if they can still have sex.
Line 176:
* 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 ([[Chekov's Gun|guess who ends up getting ''An Affair To Remember'' instead]]), and while Claudia is upset, Kirsten tilts her head.
* 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 (TV)|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 184:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'', when the King Bee [[Unusual Euphemism|"pollinates"]] the busty sunflower. Watching the (offscreen) action, Conker tilts his head and makes a face.
** Despite being a colossal pervert, the face he makes is....not pleased.
* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]:'' In the "Meet the Spy" video, this is the Heavy and Soldier's response to pictures of {{spoiler|the enemy Spy having sex with the Scout's mother.}}
{{quote| '''Heavy:''' (shows Soldier a photo)<br />
'''Soldier:''' Ooooh! (admiringly)<br />
Line 194:
* In ''[[Brutal Legend]]'', one of the first monsters Eddie Riggs meets is a Battle Nun, one of many demonic [[Naughty Nuns]] clad in leather. Eddie comments that she's "kinda sexy in a weird way."
** 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.
 
 
Line 208:
* In ''[[The Legend Of Anne Bunny]]'', Anne looks for her shipmate in a brothel. The first time she peeks into a wrong room, she slams the door and thinks, "I didn't know you could do that outside of space!"
* Terra's [http://www.undefined.net/1/0/?strip=358 webcomic impression] in ''[[One Over Zero]]''.
* [http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/0161.html Done once] in ''[[Adventurers (Webcomic)|Adventurers]]!'', when Karn and Ardam are browsing the web and find what is implied to be some very risqué material of Karashi.
{{quote| '''Ardam:''' I suddenly find myself very glad I don't have fansites.<br />
'''Karn:''' Are all ninjas that flexible? }}
Line 214:
{{quote| "She... ...tea cozy... ...'''''forty-three hours'''''... ...only '''''one''''' spoon... ...how... eek!"}}
** Is it just me, or are tea cozies becoming a favored [[Noodle Implements|Noodle Implement]] of this trope?
* In the ''We did WHAT!?'' arc of ''[[College Roomies Fromfrom Hell]]'', the boys find out they performed in a gay porn movie while drunk some weeks before, and the girls make them watch the whole tape.
{{quote| '''Mike:''' ''(whose [[Makes Sense in Context|left arm had since mutated into a tentacle]])'' Man, I miss my left arm.<br />
'''Dave:''' That... is not... your arm.<br />
Line 220:
* Deconstructed in ''[[Two Kinds]]''. the Bastin culture is so sexually repressed that Flora chasing Kathrin out of her room while both of them are naked (Kathrin was teaching her how to give a [["Happy Ending" Massage]]) is enough to cause an entire tavern to drop everything to watch and fill the entire taproom with mortified faces. [[Your Head Asplode|Their heads probably would have exploded if they had actually gone down.]]
* Mick's reaction in [http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20071228 a certain strip] of ''[[Least I Could Do]]'' follows this trope.
* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'': Redcloak finds Monster-In-The-Darkness [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0082.html scrying on two dwarves having sex].
{{quote| (covers eyes) "Ugh!! How can you sit and watch that--" (listens, gradually opens eyes) "Wow... You know, with those short stubby little bodies, you'd never think they had the agility to..."}}
* ''[[Rooster Teeth Comics]]'': [http://roosterteeth.com/comics/strip.php?id=677 Here]. An unusual choice for that reaction, wouldn't you say?
Line 230:
'''Shadow:''' And is that my...?<br />
'''Both:''' AAAUUGGGGGHHH!! }}
* [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]'s tribute to ''[[Siskel and Ebert (TV)|Siskel and Ebert]]'' starts with him asking, "When you hear the word critic, what's the very first thing you think of?" Cut an image of him, then [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]], then to a half-naked violinist running down a street wearing a big bird's nest on his head. Cut to the Critic, head at 45° angle, softly whispering "Why would you...?"
** Also, [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]], in response to BFF Nella's over-the-top reaction to the phrase "My Little Ponies", which is apparently strong and deep-seated enough to be more important to Nella than the fact that the Nostalgia Chick ''had a camera installed in Nella's bedroom at her parent's house''.
** And on [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Bad Movie Beatdown]], when we don't see all of the sex scene from ''[[Live Wire]]'', we see Film Brain staring through binoculars, head tilted, saying "I didn't even know you could do that."
