Hmm. You know, curiously enough, the X-rated version had the same name. —Mike J. Nelson, Riff Trax of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

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. 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. The title is just the foreplay. The climax is when you watch the movie, and find out just who is eating Gilbert Grape!
|
Virtually every popular mainstream movie or TV show will have its title and the rudiments of its plot morphed into a porn video. This fact of adult entertainment is even more certain than death and taxes. It's mandated pursuant to the provisions of Rule 34.
The porn industry really only has one product to sell. That's graphic depictions of people having sex. Naturally this makes things very competitive with each production company looking for an edge in the marketplace. The gay porn industry has its members always trying to stick out, while the straight porn industry is always trying to find a niche to squeeze into. So much like Hollywood itself, it exploits that which is already successful.
There are (of course) entire web sites dedicated to listing actual porn ripoffs of popular media. It's also a common game to take normal media titles and see how many porn titles they can be twisted into. Most of the times the only parody is the title. Curiously, the current hot trend in the porn industry is for high-budget, well-made parodies (well, higher-budget and better-made, anyway) that re-create what they're spoofing with careful attention to detail... but which reject parody titles in favor of just taking the original title and sticking "Not" in front of it or "A XXX Parody" afterwards.
Examples: Star Whores (Episode IV: A New Hole), Muffy the Vampire Layer, Lord of the G-Strings, An Officer and a Gentleman and Golden Retriever, Dr. Buttlove, or; How I Learned To Stop Clenching and Love the Plug, Top Gun.
One popular misconception is that this is standard practice in the porn industry. While it seems common, it's worth noting that it is a vast minority in the porn out there (as noted above). Most of it goes by the format of [race/gender/defining characteristic of participants] [optional fetish twist] [primary action performed] [number of series], the only fixed order generally being the number. For example, Interracial Anal Dildos 14. However, those titles are rarely much fun to talk about, so the ones that pop out to the general public are these titles listed below.
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)...
See also Rule 34. Just for Pun in action (hur hur hur). Rule of Funny is also involved; why have a potentially squicky actual porn title when you could have one of these and get a small laugh? It's not uncommon for examples to inherit a sequel number from the parodied work without a corresponding prequel having ever been made. Compare The Mockbuster.
Straight
The trope, that is. Not necessarily the sex.
Anime and Manga
- Total Media Agency (known as TMA) loves to do this by producing live-action Parallel Porn Titles of anime series, such as Suzumiya Hahiru no Yuuutsu (for Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu), Faith/stay night (for Fate/stay night) and so forth. These are most often sought after in the community only for the sake of mocking the ugly stars that conflicts terribly with the surprisingly well done (most of the time) cosplay outfits. Oddly enough, none of them are real puns, just twists on the names for the sake of it.
- Perhaps the most unsubtle name from them: Clonnad (For Clannad). Sounds similar to "clone", doesn't it?
- Not to forget their infamous version of the first arc of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, which was mistaken for the real live action movie by many and panned...Yes, they took a depressing delusion filled arc and made it crappy live action porn while leaving all the scenes intact.
- There's a Hentai anime titled Elfen Laid, but it has nothing to do with Elfen Lied.
- Possible subversion: The Hills Have Size is real, but it's not what you think - it's just the American dub of a totally unrelated hentai.
- Foxy Nudes (Hana no Joshi Ana: Newscaster Etsuko).
- A comprehensive list of punny hentai titles can be found here.
- Unwired is a U.S. company that specializes in this involving famous anime. Their work includes Sailor and the 7 Ballz (a pornographic crossover of Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z among other famous '90s anime), Star Ballz (like Sailor and the 7 Ballz only set in the Star Wars universe) and Ninja Love (which according to the cover stars Naruto, the Futari wa Pretty Cure girls and Nadia). Unfortunately, most people consider Sailor and the 7 Ballz to be one of the worst pornos they had ever seen.
- Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt has these every other title, unless they decide to go with a plain old Parody Name.
Comic Books
- Private produced a trilogy of movies based on Sin City called (you guessed it) Sex City.
Film
- Porn on the Fourth of July, White Men Can Hump and A League of Their Moan are all genuine titles.
- As is The DaVinci Coed.
- So is Edward Penishands.
- In an interview Tim Burton once said that the moment it hit him that he really was doing well in Hollywood was when he saw there was a porn film of Edward Scissorhands. He also mentioned meeting the actor who played the title character and shaking hands with him.
- The book Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town brings up that movie title. It's not clear if the author knew it was a real movie, or if it's just a coincidence.
- White man does Native American girl in Pocahotass.
- There is a porn film called What's Love Got To Do With It, and the theaters that showed it had to indicate that it is not the Angela Bassett film about Tina Turner. The porno film had used the title first, which gave it the right to keep it.
- Bareback Mountain was the title of a number of porn films (both straight and gay) titled to capitalize on the success of Brokeback Mountain. There was also Barebum Mountain as well.
- The maker/star of Lord of the G-Strings is a twisted, sick little monkey. Her other films include Spider-Babe (Where she played Peta Porker/Spider-Babe) and The Girl who Shagged Me. Also, Lust for Dracula which is a Mind Screw even without having a parody porn title. She's since stopped making these lovely little movies, though. Some of her other titles are Play-Mate of the Apes and Dr. Jackyl and Mistress Hyde, which is a total Mind Screw about drugs and sex.
- In the novel Porno (sequel to Trainspotting) a group of people are making a porography film simply to prove they can. The title of the film is Seven Rides For Seven Brothers.
- There was a porn movie made called The Penetrator, which was a reworking of the movie featuring everyone's favorite sociopathic cyborg. The tag line? "I'll come again."
- It even had a sequel: Penetrator 2: Grudge Day.
- Not "Judgement Lay"?
- That movie may also have been marketed as The Sperminator.
- The X-Rated version of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines had the exact same name.
- So did An Officer and a Gentleman.
- It even had a sequel: Penetrator 2: Grudge Day.
- Splendor in the Ass
- There's at least three pornos whose names are puns of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. One of them is The Rocki Whore Picture Show, complete with musical numbers, which of course removed all traces or suggestions of guy-on-guy sex.
- Robin Williams says his favorite porn movie is Snatch Adams. He closed his Weapons of Self-Destruction HBO special with a routine about porn spoofs of his films, culminating in his imitation of a porn version of Popeye.
- Hung Wankenstein. It actually follows the plot of the Mel Brooks movie quite closely, too...
- Flesh Gordon, which actually got a review in Leonard Maltin's book series at one point.
- And guess what they did with Dr. Zarkoff's name?
- Dr. Flexi Jerkoff.
- And guess what they did with Dr. Zarkoff's name?
- The Hole? Seven days after you see The Hole, you turn gay.
- The Wizard of Ahs. Bad special effects really kills one's libido.
- 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, marked it as a family adventure movie. Notably, Pirates is also one of the highest budget porn films ever made.
- And has its own sequel (and is, incidentally, pretty damn funny). It's also rated 'R', begetting the question of whether it counts as porn in the first place. Both films had R-rated versions released which had all the sex scenes removed. The flipside is that both were also released as good old-fashioned fun adventury porn romps.
- Surely you mean they were rated Arrrrr?

- Hubert Breast, Re-Penetrator. No, really.
- The lead actor's filmography is an experiment in these. My brains. Horat: The Sexual Learnings of America for Make Benefit Beautiful Nation of Kaksuckistan? Really?
- Jennifer Ate
- Danni's Hard Drive does these on a regular basis, a few examples being Cliterfield, The Breast Wing and just recently Indiana Moans and the Kingdom of the Crystal Dildoes.
- Pleasureville isn't far off from Pleasantville, titularly.
- There Will Be Cum
- Anything on Cinemax is either a play on a popular movie, Cleavagefield, or is a mockery of generic plot lines like investigations, or what not.
- Driving Miss Daisy Crazy. The Daisy character was younger than in the original, obviously. (The video cover gave the actress's name as, yes, "Jessica Randy". And the male lead was apparently "Organ Freeman".)
- Riding Miss Daisy too clever to sell?
- Actually, I remember an In Living Color skit advertising an imaginary porno called "Ridin' Miss Daisy." If the title was indeed never actually used, that might be the reason.
- Riding Miss Daisy too clever to sell?
- A Clockwork Orgy, showing that even the classics are given the porno treatment.
- Forrest Hump. Yeah.
- Backside to the Future. Found that one in a banner ad on a DeLorean fan site back in the days when site owners chose their advertisers personally. *eep*
- Carolina Jones And The Broken Covenant. Indy's daughter is up to some interesting shenanigans. It's basically Carolina trying to retrieve the Ark again... which has shrunk considerably. It's like a sequel to the first, but not, and with a ton of sex and shrieking. "Indiana" even makes an appearance at the end to save the day. Thankfully, he does not actually have sex with anyone.
- Let's not forget Carolina Jones and the Temple of Poon.
- The Da Vinci Load: A group of woman called the Priory of Semen try to steal the Mona Lisa because it contains genetic material from him they plan to use to father his child.
- There's also a softcore version known as The Da Vinci Coed.
- There are some truly lovely ones laying around (pun very much intended) with my personal favorite being Vaginal Destination.
- The Devil Wears Nada.
- Which is also the title of a Simpsons episode, oddly.
- Ass Ventura.
- While not exactly a pun on the title, there is such a thing as Snow White and the Three Dwarves (and, yes, that's how "dwarfs" is spelled in the title).
- That's how it's spelt (British)/spelled (American) in lots of places, including the works of Tolkien, both are correct.
- I think spelling is the least of this thing's problems... Yeesh.
- Tolkien, at least, got that wrong, though he didn't realize until well past the final proof for The Hobbit. In LOTR he kept using that spelling, justifying it by saying that if the word "dwarf" was more common, its plural would be irregular ("dwerrows"; compare "Dwarrowdelf", the English name for Khazad-dûm in Moria), so he chose a spelling that was irregular all the same but didn't stray away from the pronounciation.
- The Seven Dwarves version is also available under your friendly neighbourhood counter.
- That's how it's spelt (British)/spelled (American) in lots of places, including the works of Tolkien, both are correct.
- The Sweet Rear You're After.
- Hannah Does Her Sisters.
- Phallus in Wonderland, which is actually the title of the GWAR movie, as well as a poem by Gavin Ewart. The pun goes back at least to 1925.
- Las Tortugas Pinjas is a Argentinean low-budget porn film made in The Nineties as a Affectionate Parody (?!) of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, dubbed in Latin America as "Las Tortugas Ninjas". Pinjas would be a portmanteaux of "Ninja" with "pija", Spanish older-than-they-think slang for the johnson (though The Cinema Snob translated it as "eeew!"). Available only in VHS and almost an Urban Legend in Buenos Aires.
- Also, there's Pollémon, a porn movie with a Pokémon reference in its title. Its label reads "Vive las fascinantes aventuras de Pollachu" (Live the fascinating adventures of Pollachu), a portmanteau of "Pikachu" and "polla", another slang for the male fallus. Ah, if you are wondering, the movie has nothing to do with Pokémon.
- There is a vampire-themed gay porn movie called Twinklight.
- It's finished, and it's excellent.
- Kill Bill was turned into Thrill Bill (straight) and Drill Bill (gay).
- The Hills Have Thighs. The less said the better.
- The Human Sexipede. Yes, the stitches go elsewhere. And be sure to read the script (as the page itself reads: "If this is SFW where you W, I want to W there too."), it's hilarious.
- There was a supposedly hilarious porn knock-off of Batman Returns in 1992. It was called Splatman, and it actually followed the rudiments of the movie's plot closely. Sadly, almost no one has seen it because Warner Brothers filed a suit to keep it from being distributed.
- The King's Piece.
- From Lust Till Dawn or, alternatively From Dusk Till Down.
- Night of the Giving Head.
- Top Guns. Notable for the fact that despite replacing Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer with two hot bisexual women, the parody still managed to have less of a homoerotic undertone than the original movie.
- E.T.: The Porno. It's about as erotic as you would expect.
Live-Action TV
- I'm Chris Mansen from To Catch a Predator XXX.
- Doctor Who has at least one: Doctor Loo And The Filthy Phaleks.
- Though the real Doctor Who porno is just called Abducted By The Daleks. Yes, the BBC sued. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.
- "In-sem-in-ate! In-sem-in-ate!! In-sem-in-aaaaaaate!!"
- Let's not forget the non-pornographic TV Offal sketch, The Gay Daleks: "Ex-sperm-in-ate!"
- "In-sem-in-ate! In-sem-in-ate!! In-sem-in-aaaaaaate!!"
- Not to be confused with Doctor Poo, which, though you may think it would be but hope it wouldn't be, isn't pornographic.
- There was also Doctor Screw.
- No Doctor Whore then?
- There's a man on YouTube called The Humpster who's reviewing Doctor Who porn. He's currently up to Abducted by the Daleks, Doctor Loo and the Filthy Fucking Phaleks and Doctor Screw and plans to get to the softcore Zygons. If you're curious, Doctor Screw is the only
videoseries with any real effort put into it.
- Though the real Doctor Who porno is just called Abducted By The Daleks. Yes, the BBC sued. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.
The Humpster: Thirteen motherfucking episodes! Thirteen! They made a whole motherfucking series of this! |
- There's a Married... With Hormones available and it also has an sequel along with two more porn spoofs like Married... With She Males and This Ain't Married With Children XXX. Click the SFW video (they cut the porn parts out) and be disturbed by the porn spoof of a Frank Sinatra classic tune.
- The late '80s also gave us Falcon Breast and DallASS.
- "Desperate Househusbands" and "Desperate Houseboys" (both gay), there is also a lot of Housewives Desperate for stuff.
- The uncreative trend of simply putting "Not" in front of an existing title has surfaced recently, leading to titles like Not the Bradys XXX, Not Bewitched XXX, Not the Cosbys, and the list goes on.
- Or putting "A XXX Parody" at the end. Scrubs: A XXX Parody, The Jeffersons: A XXX Parody.
- The Big Bang Theory: A XXX Parody proved that sometimes you don't even need to change the title.
- The Huffington Post collected a series of (mostly) SFW trailers for several of the above s80029 here. Occasionally pretty funny, but mostly just wooden actors referencing funnier material.
- Recently announced: Batman: A XXX Parody.
- A whole label on superhero porn, Extreme Comixxx, exists (with quite some budget - the trailer for Iron Man XXX even includes a Suspiciously Similar Song version of the Black Sabbath song!).
- And then there's the This Ain't __________ XXX series. Like This Ain't The Partridge Family XXX, This Ain't Happy Days: Fonzie Luvs Pinky, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. They're even making This Ain't Twilight XXX and This Ain't Avatar XXX.
- "Unrefined viagratanium..."
- Or putting "A XXX Parody" at the end. Scrubs: A XXX Parody, The Jeffersons: A XXX Parody.
- There is a gay porn movie called Jersey Score. It's actually pretty good.
- The Dicks Of Hazard
- Everybody Does Raymond
- Sex Trek. There are at least nine productions of such, according to Memory Alpha.
- The forgetable Muffy the Vampire Layer and Buffy the Vampire Layer, and now Buffy the Vampire Slayer XXX: A Parody. Unlike those first two, that one actually tries to be accurate to the show, even including characters like Jenny Calender and Harmony.
- Johnny Carson had two porn flick titles he often used as the Tea Time Movie. I doubt there were actual films made with these titles, but there should have been. Mondo Squatto and Gidget's Night on an Aircraft Carrier.
- Reno 911! was pornified. Apparently they didn't change the title.
- Which would be impressive, given that the original show is already considered as porn in some countries.
- There was a pornographic parody of Scrubs made, which Zach Braff himself was amused by it so much that he endorsed it in interviews.
- A bit disturbingly, the kid-oriented Game Center CX has one in the form of Ero-Game Center SEX.
- The Sopornos
Music
- Girth, Wind and Fire. Cracked.com notes that a much better title would have been Sperm, Bend & Tie Her.
- PDQ Bach wrote an opera "Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice - An Opera In One Unnatural Act", which was later discovered and presented by Peter Shickele.
- Inkubus Sukkubus wrote 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, WWE's resident 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 Shaving Ryan's Privates, which co-starred 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
- And then, of course, there's World of Whorecraft, which is pretty much as you'd expect it to be.
- The Street Fighter games apparently spawned a Japanese porn called Street Fucker. SeX-Men also gets an off-hand mention.
- There was also a REALLY bad fighting game for the PC-Engine called Strip Fighter II (there was no Strip Fighter I).
- They've made a Super Strip Fighter IV as well, with WAY better graphics and additional characters; such as Succubus who uses naughty tentacles in battle, a pair of twins (one is the only loli in the game while the other is a trap), and a few more fighters with some similarities.
- Super Hornio Brothers. There was also, apparently, a sequel.
- Left 4 Head.
- The less said about Fillzone, the better.
- Womb Raider, which gets bonus points for having a villain called Doctor Scrotus.
- And of course the doujinshi scene has tons of these. Final Fantasy XX comes to mind.
- Even more brazen is Final Fuck X.
- Call of Booty: Modern Whorefare.
- Biocock maybe?
- Princess of Persia.
- Geki Fit.
- Poke a Mom.
- Dick Drilling Adult's Lewd Word Self Training is based off Brain Age.
- An aversion: despite all the jokes there is not one Mass Erect/Ass Effect movie.
- Probably because there's sex scenes already present in all three games.
- Dance Dance Erolution, a series of Japanese gay porn flicks.
Western Animation
- American Dad XXX: An Exquisite Films Parody, featuring things like rough sex between Roger and Francine, and a messy gangbang involving Haley, Snot, Barry, and Toshi.
- Now they've done Family Guy. One can only imagine the Quagmire-related horrors...
- The Simpsons: The XXX Parody. Everyone is yellow, and there's the Crack Pairing of Moe and Cookie Kwan.
- Scooby Doo: The XXX Parody is praised for being faithful to the original show - despite lacking the title character.
- This Ain't The Smurfs XXX. Yes, really.
- Beaver & Buttface.
- Ten Inch Mutant Ninja Turtles
- The Flintbones and its successor, The Flintstones: A XXX Parody.
Real Life
- Obama porn is relatively new: Cream From Your Mother and The Audacity Of Ho are just two of the titles on offer...
- I got one question, "Who's Nailin' Serra Paylin?"
- Zodiac Rapist, probably the only porno based (really loosely, admittedly) on a real life Serial Killer.
Other
- Hello Titty is completely real and even has a sequel.
Parodies
Comic Books
- In Transmetropolitan, 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").
- Technically that wasn't his enemies, just all kinds of opportunists flocking to the money-making machine - after Spider's assistant Yelena sold them license to use his name and likeness. Spider wasn't amused.
- Garth Ennis loves these. In both Chronicles of Wormwood and Kev there is a scene with a lot of porn videos on display with such titles as The Hunt for Red Cocktober, Starsky and Crotch, Baredevil, and so on.
- In a comic by Michael Kupperman, an old man grants a boy special powers when he says SKREWPA, which is an acronym...
Old Man: The S is for Sperms of Endearment! The K is for King Dong! The R is for Romancing the Bone! The E is for E.T.3: The Extra Testicle! The... |
Film
- Referenced in Back to The Future. One of the movies playing at the porno theater in the rundown town square of 1985 is titled Orgy, American Style, a title parody of the TV anthology series Love, American Style. On the DVD's audio commentary, Bob Gale stated that he was unsure whether there was an actual movie with that title, but said there probably was (there isn't, at least according to IMDb).
- On the Rifftrax for The Island of Doctor Moreau, Mike speculates that the porn version is called The Thighland of Dr. More-O.
- In the movie Dirty Work, the protagonists work at a movie theater and get revenge on their abusive manager by replacing Men in Black with the creatively named Men In Black Who Like To Have Sex With Each Other.
- Lessee... In Black Men - was that so hard?
- On one episode of The Drew Carey Show, Drew's dad accidentally rents gay porn for Oswald's bachelor party... the title? Men In Back.
- 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 Tight Ones.
- Inverted with South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut which took its name from John Bobbit's porn film.
- 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:
Zack: Look at you! Anything I've seen? What movies? |
- Then there's their decision to call their own film Star Whores...
- The Auteur is a pastiche of both obsessive and unstable auteurs and Parallel Porn Titles. Pornographic film producer/director Arturo Domingo—roughly equal parts Francis Ford Coppola, Werner Herzog, and Gerard Damiano—is an uncompromising artist whose penetrating vision has resulted in such masterpieces of erotic filmmaking as Five Easy Nieces, Requiem for a Wet Dream and Dyke Club. During the filming of his seminal masterwork Full Metal Jackoff (actually a parody of Apocalypse Now), problems with filming, strained relations with his wife, and Executive Meddling cause a breakdown. He attempts to rise back to prominence with his most ambitious and epic project to date: Gang Bangs of New York.
- "Some Kind of Happiness? I've already filmed it. Only my version is called Some Kind of Horniness."
- In The 40-Year-Old Virgin, the films in the protagonist's Porn Stash have titles such as School Of Cock. Which actually does exist, to absolutely no one's surprise.
- Not necessarily a parody, but this iPhone auto-correct failure corrected Puss in Boots to Pussy 'n Butts, which commenters noted would be a great porno version of the movie (the other option, Pus in Butts, not so much.). Other porno-sounding autocorrects include The Cunt of Monte Cristo and Panty of the Apes.
- Tromeo and Juliet has a Porn Stash going after other Shakespeare plays with Et Tu, Blow Job, The Merchant of Penis, As You Lick It, and Much To Do About Humping.
Oancitizen: Please, no Titties Andronicus? No Glory Hole Anus? No A Midnight Summer's Cream? |
- That's My Boy; Mary has a videotape of Head in the Class, telling Donny "it's like Head of the Class, but with blowjobs. It's... gross."
Literature
- In Futurological Congress by Stanislaw Lem, a character called Harvey Simworth gets a passing mention. He's a pornographic writer who tailors classical fairy tales and novels this way. Among his achievements there is Ali Baba and the Forty Perverts and the "Sex-life" series which include such titles as Sex-life of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, Sex-life of Hansel and Gretel and Sex-life of Alice in Wonderland.
- Chuck Palahniuk's novel Snuff includes an absolute hurricane of parallel porn titles.
Live-Action TV
- Life On Mars had fun with this. In the series 1 finale, CSD finds an illicit porn operation, with such titles as On Her Majesty's Secret Cervix and Once Upon A Time In Her Vest. The latter enrages DCI Hunt, who is a fan of Westerns.
- An episode of CSI mentioned the title of Armagetiton. Brass at first thought the guy said "Armageddon".
- The same name was used in the plot of Miss Congeniality as the reason one of the contestants had to drop out (she starred in said film).
- In one episode of Friends, the guys have free porn. They watch Good Will Humping and In and Out and In Again. In another episode, Ursula uses Phoebe's name to appear in Sex Toy Story 2, Inspect Her Gadget, Buffay the Vampire Layer and Lawrence of a Labia.
- Hard to make In & Out sound more like a porn film... just try recommending that film to someone "It's called In & Out - no, it's nothing like that - it's about this gay teacher... shut up!"
- And, of course, on Monica and Chandler's wedding night, Joey orders porn in the form of, Dr. Do-me-a-little.
- A later Home Improvement episode had Brad and Mark distracted by a porno titled Shakespeare In Lust.
- One Top Ten list from The Late Show With David Letterman was about "Signs You Have Purchased a Bootleg Copy of Titanic":
It's XXX-rated and the first three letters are suspiciously capitalised. |
- When McGee has his identity stolen in an NCIS subplot, he is stumped as to what Forrest Hump could possibly be.
Tony: Well, it's like Forrest Gump with naked people! |
- The Married With Children episode "Dial 'B' for Virgin" has Al in the adult section of a video store with videos titled Schindler's Lust, Booty and the Beast, Forrest Hump, Silence of the Loins, The Joy Slut Club, and Mrs. Assfire (which Big'uns magazine gave "Two Things Up").
- In an episode of Will and Grace, Grace hunts through Manhattan porn stores looking for all the copies of a fetish film Karen acted in when she was younger (Next to Godliness) so that she can give them to Karen to save Karen's socialite reputation. In the process, she runs across Drive This, Miss Daisy!, Diddler On The Roof, and The Ass Menagerie.
- Saturday Night Live runs with this at times.
- One sketch involved Jeff Goldblum (as himself) in a video store attempting to rent the porn On Golden Blonde.
- In another sketch, host Adrian Brody and a cast member play the guys who come up with porn titles based on movies. They get to The Pianist...and they got nothing.
- In another, Sylvester Stallone is told there is a copy of Rambo in the hands of the dead car accident victim who had spent his last moments trashing the star's films. He's touched that the guy really liked his movies after all until he's told it's really Rambone, the porn version.
- When Tracy moves into Liz's apartment on Thirty Rock (long story), he orders The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and I'ma Do Us on pay-per-view.

Titles available include Ass-atar, The Pert Knockers, Tits Complicated, The Hind Side, Up in Her Hair, Sherlock Homos, The Lovely Boners, Fresh Ass: Based on the Novel "Tush" by Assfire and Horny With A Chance Of My Balls, and (a nod to Alec Baldwin), Ghosts of Missy's Peepee.
- The Lovely Boners is driving a dumptruck full of crap past the radar: the original film is about young girls being raped and murdered, so it's not pleasant to imagine what the porn equivalent would be like.

- In online sketch comedy group Loading Ready Run's video 'Format War', Graham HAS to have Sweeney Knobs: Demon Boner of Boob Street on Blu-Ray, to get a feel for the story they're going for. He also can't wait for Three Hundred...People Having Sex to come out. Matt is sure Blu-ray will fail and Graham will have to get another copy of The Spiderwank Chronicles.
- In Living Color once ran a spoof ad for Ridin' Miss Daisy.
- MTV's Now What? (aka The Sausage Factory) featured an episode where some of the main characters get a job at a video rental store and become the most successful clerks by simply switching the VHS tapes for actual films with their porno equivalents and renting them out to teenagers. One character gets suspicious after a very happy teenager praises the clerks when he is seemingly returning The Joy Luck Club. The entire scam comes to an end after an angry parent accuses them of selling The Sperminator to his son.

- How I Met Your Mother. During Marshall's bachelor party, Barney bought the wrong (ie, the real) Deep Impact.
- A Running Gag on Whose Line Is It Anyway in the game "Greatest Hits" is that Colin and Ryan will pitch their song compilation as though in an advert interrupting a film, and the film title almost always sounds like one of these: Men In Back, Touched By A Hell's Angel, etc.
- On one occasion Colin couldn't think of anything and just blurted out "We're watching animal porn!" to audience hilarity. He eventually came up with one - Mary Had A Little Lamb.
- Couplings included a scholarly dissertation at a dinner party of Lesbian Spank Inferno.

Tabletop Games
- One of the fictitious anime titles mentioned in the Steve Jackson Games card game Chez Dork is Domination Spank Police.
Video Games
- The Leisure Suit Larry games often parody this. Magna Cum Laude is especially full of them - between the porn section of the local video rental store and the nearby adult theater, there are dozens of parody porn titles used as throwaway jokes. Some of the better ones: Lawrence of My Labia, The Rodfather (created by Francis Ford Gropella), Bukkake To The Future, Close Encounters of the Behind, Schindler's Fist, Anal-yze This, and Terms of Enrearment. That last one actually holds special significance to Larry, and ends up being the springboard for a hilarious post-ending conversation mini-game.
- While not movies, the names of the movie star-based characters in Love for Sail also deserve a mention; e.g. Drew Baringmore, Jamie Lee Coitus, and Annette Boning.
- In the gay section of San Fierro (a parody of San Francisco in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) there's a movie theater with the title The Wizard of Ass on the marquee. It's one of the easiest photo ops to find.

- Fallout 2 had a few features, straight from the Golden Globes Porn Studio in Reno (some already having been used before), including a couple of puns on the series itself; 'Vault Sexteen' (Vault Sixteen) and Pullout: A Post Nuclear Boogaloo (Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game).
- While the PC version of Duke Nukem 3D had the Million Dollar Theater playing the infamous "Attack of the Bleached-Blonde Biker Bimbos," accompanied by a dancing woman on the movie screen, the N64 equivalent had the more subtle parody title "Uranus Attacks." (Playing into Nintendo's extreme censorship towards the game, the movie screen now only displays a spaceship.)

- 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.

- ↑ A Mythology Gag, as Ivy did indeed wear something like this in pre-Crisis comics.
