{{quote|''The porno spoof is a fantastic art of film-making. Truly. When you break it down, the porno spoof is really nothing but a ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch, but with fucking. [[Take That|And any more humor]]. And what's also fascinating about the porno spoof is that most people just quit after they hear the title, as if the title is the climax of the porno spoof experience. It's not. [[Better Than It Sounds|The title is just the foreplay]]. The climax is when you ''watch'' the movie, and find out just who ''is'' [[What's Eating Gilbert Grape|eating Gilbert Grape!]]''|'''[[The Cinema Snob]]'''}}

Of course, there's also an [[Inverted Trope]]: don't confuse [[Jennifer Lopez]]' chambermaid character having an affair with her hotel's client in ''Maid in Manhattan'' (2002) with [[Vanessa Del Rio]]'s maid character having an affair with her client (and later his son) in ''Maid in Manhattan'' (1984)...

 

 

{{examples|Examples (sorted by the media being pornified):}}

=== Comic Books ===

* Private produced a trilogy of movies based on ''[[Sin City]]'' called (you guessed it) ''Sex City''.

 

=== Film ===

** There's also a series of klismaphilia videos both titled and starring a guy who calls himself "A/The Wizard of Ass"

* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' has its own: ''Pirates: Stagnotti's Revenge''. Doesn't sound like a porno to you? Well, it didn't to the managers of at least 6 video stores, who ordered it in bulk, [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|marked it as a family adventure movie]]. Notably, ''Pirates'' is also one of the highest budget porn films ever made.

*** Surely you mean they were rated Arrrrr?

* ''[[Re-Animator|Hubert Breast, Re-Penetrator]]''. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480772/ No, really.]

** The lead actor's filmography is an experiment in these. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2070643/ My brains.] ''[[Borat|Horat: The Sexual Learnings of America for Make Benefit Beautiful Nation of Kaksuckistan]]''? Really?

* ''[[PDQ Bach]]'' wrote an opera "[[Hansel and Gretel]] and Ted and Alice - An Opera In One Unnatural Act", which was later [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|discovered and presented]] by Peter Shickele.

* ''[[Inkubus Sukkubus]]'' wrote [[Interview with the Vampire|Intercourse With The Vampire]], which sounds like it's about vampires in love if you're not paying attention. Every line contains at least one sexual innuendo, "Come to me like a Ram ... to the slaughter" being one of the tamest lines.

 

=== Professional Wrestling ===

* Val Venis, [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'s resident [[Wrestling Doesn't Pay|wrestling porn star]], seems to have a resume composed entirely of these titles. One angle in particular had him cutting a promo on Ken Shamrock from the set of a movie he was making entitled ''[[Saving Private Ryan|Shaving Ryan's Privates]]'', which co-starred [[Tomboyish Name|Ken's sister Ryan]] (''Shaving Ryan's Privates'' is a real softcore gay porn movie). Another saw him rattle off a [[Long List]] of them when he met Shelton Benjamin's mother backstage, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she knew him from somewhere.

** Talking of wrestling, as [[Wrestlecrap]]'s ''Death of [[WCW]]'' book notes, you could tell wrestling was truly mainstream again when the nWo got a porn parody (Nude World Order).

 

=== Video Games ===

** Probably because there's sex scenes already present in all three games.

* ''[[Dance Dance Revolution|Dance Dance Erolution]]'', a series of Japanese gay porn flicks.

 

=== Western Animation ===

** I got one question, "Who's Nailin' [[Sarah Palin|Serra Paylin]]?"

* ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1264971/ Zodiac Rapist]'', probably the only porno based (really loosely, admittedly) on a real life [[Serial Killer]].

 

=== Other ===

 

== Parodies ==

=== Comic Books ===

* In ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'', [[Intrepid Reporter|Spider Jerusalem]]'s enemies try to make people stop taking him seriously by putting out a porn flick called ''I Hump It Here'' (the title of his column being "I Hate It Here").

'''Billy''': ?! Those are all porn movie titles!

'''Old Man''': I've been in this cave alone too long... I've forgotten the real list... }}

 

=== Film ===

*** Didn't that collection also include ''The Courtship of Eddie's Finger'', and ''Three Men and a Maybe''?

* That [[Ben Stiller]] film ''[[The Heartbreak Kid]]'' where he had to give Carlos Mencia's character a nudie vid titled ''[[Remember the Titans|Remember the Tight Ones]]''.

** Similarly, ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'' gets it's title from the documentary ''Pornstar: The Legend of [[Ron Jeremy]]''.

* In ''[[Zack and Miri Make a Porno]]'', Zack meets a guy at a party, and learns that he's an actor:

{{quote|'''[[Brows Held High|Oancitizen]]''': Please, no ''[[Titus Andronicus|Titties Andronicus]]''? No ''[[Coriolanus|Glory Hole Anus]]''? No ''[[A Midnight Summers Dream|A Midnight Summer's Cream]]''?

'''[[The Cinema Snob]]''': That one actually exists. }}

 

=== Literature ===

* [[Chuck Palahniuk]]'s novel ''Snuff'' includes an absolute hurricane of parallel porn titles.

** In other words, a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Hurricane]] [[Hurricane of Puns|Of Porns]]?

 

=== Live-Action TV ===

* ''[[Couplings]]'' included a scholarly dissertation at a dinner party of ''Lesbian Spank Inferno''.

* One episode of ''[[The Kevin Bishop Show]]'' featured a sketch in which [[The BBC]] launched the Red Hot [[Red Button Interactive|Red Button]] service, which included pornographic versions of all your favourite BBC programmes, including [[Match of the Day|Snatch of the Day]], [[Ashes to Ashes|Gashes To Gashes]] and [[Waking the Dead|Wanking The Dead]].

 

=== Radio ===

* An episode of ''[[Think the Unthinkable]]'' had Sophie going through Jed's DVD collection. As well as another sighting of ''[[Good Will Hunting|Good Will Humping]]'', she correctly surmises that his version of ''[[Free Willy]]'' isn't about a whale.

* Back when they were on the radio, one sketch on ''[[Royal Canadian Air Farce]]'' mentioned that "''Forest Hump'' is not [[Forrest Gump|the movie starring Tom Hanks]]."

 

=== Video Games ===

** [http://www.cracked.com/article_16355_the-10-most-misleadingly-pornographic-movie-titles.html The 10 Most Misleadingly Pornographic Movie Titles] lists movies that could be mistaken for their ''own'' parallel porn title. It even lists which scenes could be kept unchanged.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110831075921/http://www.namethatporno.com/aa/aa_home.html Name That Porno] is a collection of those.

** They also [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/classic-films-porn.php had] [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/classic-films-porn2.php two] "Porn Versions of Classic Films" contests.

* The web series ''Watch Blue Movies'' is about a porn studio that specialises in making these kinds of films. You've got ''[[G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra|G.I. Ho]]'', ''[[The Bourne Identity|The Porn Identity]]'', ''[[Forrest Gump|Forrest Hump]]'' and so on. The first episode is about a porn parody of ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', but no title is given.

* In the [[Gorillaz]] interactive online game ''Plastic Beach'', the player can ask 2D if he's bored and 2D informs the player that he has movies to watch. Some of the titles he lists are this trope. He describes them as "a bit random, but very, very, very watchable."

* [http://www.wikiporno.org/wiki/Best_Porn_Movie_Names WikiPorno's Best Porn Movie Names page] has a whole bunch of these, and it's incomplete. They don't even have the entire Star Whores series listed.

 

=== Web Comics ===

** ''Willy Wanker and the Chocolate Factory'' appears in ''[[Max And Paddys Road To Nowhere]]'' as the porn film Paddy decides to act in to get a bit of extra money. He doesn't find out until too late that it's ''gay'' porn, and [[Your Mileage May Vary]] as to whether [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* ''[[Harry Potter|Perry Hotter]] [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20081118.html Part 16: The Wizard's Staff]'', courtesy of ''[[Ménage à 3]]''.

 

=== Western Animation ===

'''Doctor in Porn:''' ''[unzips]'' Take two of ''these'' and call us in the morning.

'''Stewie:''' Oh, now that's not going to help her nymphomania. It's only going to exacerbate it. }}

** Another made brief mention of ''[[Doctor Dolittle|Doctor Screwlittle]]''.

** Another early episode mentioned a porno film entitled ''Stardust Mammaries'', a reference to the [[Woody Allen]] film ''Stardust Memories''.

*** There is an X rated version of ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]''.

* ''[[Queer Duck]]'''s nephew Little Lucky unwittingly stumbles upon his uncle's gay pornos ''[[Pokémon|Poke-A-Man]]'' and ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle|Rock Hard & Bull Sprinkle.]]''
