{{quote|''"How would your son like to come with me to the Museum of Natural History after everyone else has left, just the two of us, and he can touch anything he wants... I just heard it as you must have heard it and that's not good. Let me start again. I'm a palaeontologist, you'll be there with us and the touching refers only to bones... fossils!"''|'''Ross''', ''[[Friends]]'', "The One Where Estelle Dies"}}

== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Léon: The Professional]]'' - Professional [[Badass]] [[Jean Reno]] is kicked out of his hotel after a thirteen-year-old Natalie Portman tells the clerk that the two of them are lovers.
* ''[[Little Man]]'' - Thief with dwarfism is mistaken for a baby, and his partner in crime, for a kid-loving creep.
* ''[[Jingle All the Way]] ''- Arnold's trying to get This Year's Toy for his son, and tries to win one in a raffle which used little balls with numbers as tickets. But after some struggle to get one with the other customers, the raffle-ball gets out of their hands and gets lost in a ball-pool. When he jumps in to get it back, parents attack him, thinking he's after the kids...
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* ''[[Rat Race]]'': Rowan Atkinson's character is showing a baby the key to a 2 million dollar prize when he accidentally drops it into the baby's diapers... which leads to him getting thrown off a moving train.
* In ''[[The Wizard (film)]]'', Haley got herself and her friends away from Putnam by accusing him of being a pedophile. Loudly. In a crowded public area.
* In ''[[Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium]]'', Eric and Henry The Mutant (don't ask) end up making friends. Henry learns to quit being so much of a boring adult, and let his inner child out through playing with Eric. Eric's mother comes home and assumes the worst, even though she told Eric to make friends -- shefriends—she clearly only meant ones his own age.
* Overzealous mass-hysteria regarding child abuse was criticized in the film ''[[The Man Without A Face]]'', complete with a [[Tear Jerker]] example of [[Entendre Failure]]. {{spoiler|Although there is some ambiguity as to whether something actually did happen. The book the film was based on was a good deal less ambiguous about it.}}
* In ''[[Daddy Day Care]]'' the protagonists are assumed to be child molesters just because they're men running a day care.
Line 76 ⟶ 75:
*** Tratchenberg developed a crush on [[Hugh Laurie]] during filming of that episode. At one point she wrote "I love you" on her inner thigh before a scene where he'd see it.
* ''[[Bones]]'' - Booth and Bones are investigating a children's beauty pageant, looking for a killer with uneven hips. Bones, being Bones, gets right to it and grabs the nearest person to check before Booth can stop her. Of course it's a little girl, who screams, "Molester!" Booth smooths things over with the security guard who sympathizes against the over-reaction in light of the murder investigation (he advises that they just WATCH the pageant in order to observe all the kids).
* In ''[[Burn Notice]]'', Michael pays a bunch of [[Street Urchin|Street Urchins]]s to pretend that a [[Mook]] tailing them was a molester to the policeman standing nearby in order to get said mooks off his back.
** For extra hilarity, the mooks were FBI agents, and when one of them reaches for his wallet & identification, both cops pin them to car and immediately cuff them, thinking they were reaching for a gun.
* ''[[The Daily Show]]'', as seen on the picture above. They later tried other variations like "Jon Stewart Looks at Children's Things" and "Uncle Jon Wants to Show You Something".

* The [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20191016102821/https://mudcat.org/detail_pf.cfm?messages__Message_ID=82443&messages__Message_ID=82443 Talking Candy Bar Blues] by Paul Stookey is a story told from the point of view of the poor [[Butt Monkey]] who falls prey to this trope set to some light musical accompaniment.

* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', Doc Scratch (who, being a cueball-headed demigod {{spoiler|and a puppet}}, is asexual in every way) tells Rose (a 13-year-old girl) he likes her; naturally she construes it this way.

* In ''[[Goblins]]'', Minmax humiliated his adventuring partner Forgath by yelling at a passing young (adult) woman "Hey! Thirteen and hot!" on a crowded street. The passersby didn't realise he was talking about her Charisma score, not her age.
