A deliberate ploy to make the viewer think something sexy or illicit is occurring when it actually is not. A scene will begin with its characters not visible to the camera, or partially obscured; the dialogue between them seems lascivious and explicit, and may be laced with [[Double Entendre|double entendres]]. But when the camera finally reveals the whole scene, the action involved is entirely innocent and the dialogue turns out to be referring, entirely or mostly, to these innocent actions -- it is only in the dirty minds of the viewers that anything untoward happened.

** Then there's the extended "drawing [[Doujinshi]] behind closed doors" scene in ''Purezza'' (which, meaning "purity" in Italian, is arguably a lampshade). This one has Haruka's father joining in on overhearing, at which point he chops down the bedroom door with a sword before realizing the scene isn't what he thought.
** The trope is getting so common in ''Purezza'' that, combined with its general overuse elsewhere, it's starting to push the boundaries of [[Discredited Trope|Discredited Tropedom]]. Virtually every episode features extended [[Innocent Innuendo]], and every episode title. I.e. "Please Put It In," "My Body Is Burning Up," and "It Might Have Gone In."

The following scene (as Selleck tries not to let on what's happened) gives the editor the idea that sex is occurring. While his girlfriend is trying to help him he shouts "Don't touch the shaft!"
* Toward the very end of ''[[Igor]]'', the main character shows [[Frankenstein's Monster|Eva]] a blueprint. She asks him if he's really going to make it, and Igor replies that if it doesn't work out, they'll just adopt. The camera then shifts to Eva's POV, showing a blueprint for a dog.

It included such bits as the 'Beaver Song' and two teenage girls solving math problems while controlling a very long joystick to the encouraging words of Alan Thicke.

* The episode of ''[[Skins]]'' "Jal" has Sid helping Jal into her dress in a fitting room.

Line 231:
* Subversion: ''In the Red'' was a BBC miniseries about politics and publicity. One of the protagonists is the speech-writer for the leader of a minor political party -- he mainly got the job because he has a degree in English, and fancies the leader's daughter, but is too nerdy to do anything about it. By the end of the final episode the leader is facing a vote of no confidence, and the speech-writer cannot come up with anything better than a frank and forthright apology for only doing his best in difficult circumstances. Immediately upon finishing recording this into his dictaphone, the daughter comes into his hotel room, and takes her top off. Cut to next morning, and an anonymous secretary quietly picks up the dictaphone from the bedroom floor, trying not to wake the sleeping couple. That afternoon, the leader gives his speech in a triumphal manner. After the words as dictated by the speech-writer, he carries on: "I want you to take me. I do. Yes. Oh yes. Oh yes!" It got a standing ovation from the party.
* The ''[[Frasier]]'' episode "Matchmaker" subverts this by having Frasier discussing the same things he always does (music, clothing) with a man he doesn't know to be gay who assumes that he (Frasier) is hitting on him.

* Lampshaded on the ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch about "Schweddy Balls." The audience can see that the two radio hosts are actually eating chocolate malt balls, but the unseen radio listeners would be getting all the unconscious innuendo.
** Further pointed out in their sequel sketch about Pete Schweddy's new product: hot dogs (called wieners constantly, of course). A breathless phone pervert actually called the show to ask about Pete's wiener. Obviously, Pete cluelessly played along.
** And later in the Betty White episode, they do another one of these where they talk to an old lady who owns a bakery and came on the show to talk about muffins of various kinds.
* ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' did it in episode 4-12, "Don't Ever Change", when Roz needed an ultrasound. House asked Thirteen, "You do it both ways, don't you?", and after Thirteen took it the wrong way, he stated he was talking about two different ways to do the ultrasound.
** Yeah, but he did that on purpose, knowing full well that she "goes both ways".
** Not to mention the whole "Blue the janitor" exchange. ("The janitor's name is ''Lou''!" "Well, then I owe him an apology." Wilson sounds so traumatized.)

At the end of the episode he does notice a pattern: {{spoiler|"Oh, Tobias, you blowhard!"}}
* Used several times in the [[Show Within a Show]] ''When the Whistle Blows'' in ''[[Extras]]'', Andy Millman's character overhears increasingly innuendo-laden language in storms in on the other characters demanding to know what is going on. (Example: "Put it in your mouth", "Don't suck, blow" — one of the characters is trying to teach the other how to play the recorder.)
* Subverted on ''[[Dexter]]''. We hear Lila talking to Dexter in a way that leads the viewer to think they're having sex, then we assume that she's probably just teaching him how to paint. Then the camera reveals that they are actually...having sex.

EVA gives a final passionate wail, and we get a shot of her grinning face -- and her hand, in which she's holding a tracking device one of the villains implanted on Snake, which she'd just managed to pull out.

** Subverted in another episode, where Fry and Amy take a trip to Mercury but Amy's pod breaks down. When a man comes to help them, he gets excited when he sees the windows steamed up. He's disappointed when he sees them just playing cards. However, they do start making out later on.
