{{quote|'''Kitty:''' Oh! Oh, Red!
'''Red:''' Oh, Kitty!|''[[That '70s Show]]''.}}
Someone, usually a child, is wandering in his or her house and walks into two people having sex. Most of the time it's the parents. This can be a trigger for A) the parents to give [[The Talk|that one discussion we all mention vaguely]], B) the unfortunate soul to be [[Heroic BSOD|Shell Shocked for a while]], C) [[Rule of Funny|be very funny]] or some combination of the three.

== Live Action TV ==
* A 1973 episode of ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show|The New Dick Van Dyke Show]]'' had this. When CBS refused to air it, writer-director Carl Reiner quit the series in protest.
* Formerly [[Trope Namer|named]] for the scene in ''[[That '70s Show]]'' in which this happens to Eric, with his parents yelling the quote at the top of the page. Donna reveals that it also happened to her when she was a kid - which she can recall vividly even a decade or so later.
** Used more than once too, as later in the series, Eric casually walks into the kitchen, where his parents are playing an "adult" version of Marco Polo (don't ask).
** The age-flip occurs in the episode about Jackie's lodge, where at the end of the episode Kitty and Red walk in on Eric and Donna doing the horizontal tango on the kitchen table. The next scene shows Kitty and Red scrubbing the table furiously to cleanse it, eventually deciding that it would just be best to get a new table.
