{{quote|'''Virgil:''' [[Lovecraftian Superpower|I've been going through these... changes...]]

'''Doctor:''' That's normal for a boy your age.

'''Virgil:''' This ''isn't'' normal, believe me!

'''Doctor:''' Virgil, these changes you're talking about, do they involve... another person?

'''Virgil:''' A lot of 'em.

'''Doctor:''' Does your father know what you've been doing?

'''Virgil:''' No! And he can't! Hold on... whoa, doc, [[Lampshade Hanging|we are talking about two different things here]]!|[[Static Shock]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4B5VyOHdqc episode 2.]}}

* Happens in ''[[X-Factor]]'' #29, when Theresa tries to tell Jamie she's pregnant with his child, and Jamie thinks she's trying to quit the team. The situation is resolved and lampshaded by [[Genre Savvy|Monet]], who apparently recognizes the situation from [[Three's Company]].

* Neil Gaiman loved to do this in his Sandman comic series, with at least three separate occurrences.

Line 265:

Was...was that really how it happened? It occurred to Junpei that perhaps that was how it worked... Perhaps he'd been mistaken all these years. Had he misunderstood life so gravely? The thought terrified him. June seemed to be entirely oblivious to Junpei's mounting confusion and terror. }}

* ''[[Da Capo]]'' ([[Visual Novel]]): As Junichi and Nemu set off for school, they start talking about who should get married first, and Junichi decides that they should get married at the same time. Nemu immediately assumes he means to ''[[Brother-Sister Incest|each other]]'', and the practical-thinking Junichi doesn't understand why Nemu's getting so flustered. And just a moment later as Nemu threatens to deliver a [[Megaton Punch]], Sakura suddenly admonishes them that they can't do "that", because they're brother and sister. Both siblings [[Brother-Sister Incest|take it the wrong way]] and start realizing their feelings for each other, until Sakura finishes her sentence—that siblings shouldn't ''hit'' each other. Oops.

* ''[[Clannad]]'': Tomoya is an expert at arranging this kind of situation for his own amusement. In one case, Nagisa wants to ask for Ryou's help in establishing the theater club, so Tomoya has Sunohara tell Ryou that someone wants to ask her out on the rooftop. When they arrive, Tomoya introduces Nagisa as the ''girl'' who wanted to "talk to her", and a beautiful [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] confession scene unfolds until Nagisa finally mentions the club itself. (As a bonus, Ryou said ''yes'', ''before'' she realized what the question was.)

* Larry's final conversation with Annette Boning in ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]] 7: Love for Sail!'' features Larry trying desperately to prevent Annette from thinking he's gay, while Annette is trying desperately to stop Larry from blackmailing her about her husband's assassination.

* There are a few party banter conversations like this in [[Dragon Age]]. Most of them [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Oghren/Dialogue#Oghren_and_Wynne involve Oghren], who does it [[Mind Screw|on purpose]].
