* According to comedian Eddie Griffin, a theater was showing two movies once when he was a kid. One was Porn, the other was a [[Bruce Lee]] movie. Guess which one was completely empty?
* During a recent{{When}} ''[[Counter-Strike]]'' tournament in Russia, the promoter hired strippers in an attempt to distract the competing teams. Neither team batted an eye.
* [[J. Michael Straczynski]] said that Shari Shattuck was disappointed in him for not being on set when her nude scene in the ''[[Babylon 5]]'' episode "Voices of Authority" was filmed. He explained that Craft Services was serving ribs for lunch that day, and after a man gets past the age of forty he'll think "Nude woman... ribs... nude woman... ribs... RIBS!" (Come to think of it, Captain Sheridan's reaction to the nude scene in-universe is an example of this trope too.)
* This can even be the reaction of the audience, the very people for whom the Fanservice is intended in the first place, if it's taken too far. If it's too gratuitous, too [[Squick]]y or otherwise detracts from the story, the audience may be more irritated or creeped out than turned on.
