Head-Tiltingly Kinky: Difference between revisions

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.

== Comics ==

 

 

* ''[[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!"

* 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.

 

* 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!"

* 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...

* 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.

** 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''?

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."

{{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."

'''Beckett''': "Putting killers behind bars."

'''Castle''': "See? You're already a tease. You're halfway there." }}

 

== Western Animation ==

** An episode had Krusty giving Bart a list of things that can't be said on TV.

{{quote|'''Bart''': I've never even heard of number 6.

** BTW, dolphins have been known to really do this in captivity.

*** HELLO [[Nightmare Fuel]]!

* 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.
