{{quote|''"That is [[Trope Namer|sick and wrong]]!"''|'''Ron Stoppable''', ''[[Kim Possible]]''}}
 
After a particularly strange or [[Squick|squickysquick]]y phenomenon, a character will inevitably say, "That's disturbing", "That's just wrong", "[[This Is Wrong Onon So Many Levels|That's wrong on so many levels]]", or something similar. The [[The Same but More|next level up]] has characters requesting the [[Brain Bleach]].
 
{{examples}}
 
== Advertising ==
* When Heinz released green ketchup a few years back, they advertised it with a series of people declaring "It's ''twisted'' and ''wrong''!" While most people agreed, it somehow lasted six years before being mercifully discontinued.
* Recently{{when}}, Corn Nuts has been advertised as "Corn Gone Wrong!"
 
== Anime and Manga ==
 
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|End of Evangelion]]'', Shinji comments on his {{spoiler|masturbating over a comatose Asuka}} with the statement "I'm scum". In the English dub, "[[Precision F-Strike|I'm so fucked up]]".
== Anime ==
** Later, AsukeAsuka refers to the incident as {{spoiler|"your sick jerk-off fantasies!"}}
* In [[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|End of Evangelion]], Shinji comments on his {{spoiler|masturbating over a comatose Asuka}} with the statement "I'm scum". In the English dub, "[[Precision F-Strike|I'm so fucked up]]".
** Later, Asuke refers to the incident as {{spoiler|"your sick jerk-off fantasies!"}}
** The concluding line of the film, ''kimochi warui''. Given in English as "How disgusting", variously translatable as "I feel sick", "This feels bad", etc.
* Ciel in ''[[Black Butler]]'' gets so incensed by the sickness and wrongness of {{spoiler|a [[Circus of Fear]] meant as light dinner entertainment}} that he even switches to '''black speech bubbles''': "I do not wish to share a table with rubbish that is inferior even to domestic beasts. I need only report this much to Her Majesty, the Queen. That this vulgar, odious, perverted, and vilest of all boors was disposed of by me, the Watchdog!" And so he draws his gun.
 
 
== Audio Drama ==
* In the ''[[Big Finish Doctor Who]]'' drama "Legend of the Cybermen", [[Alice in Wonderland]] says "That's just wrong" when she hears that the Cybermen have begun to convert mermaids.
 
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'' had Fred Kwan and Laliari, a [[Starfish Aliens|non-humanoid]] [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle alien]], making out. Guy exclaims, "That's just not right!" Indeed.
* In ''[[Quick Change (Filmfilm)|Quick Change]]'', Loomis exclaims after seeing a strange joust by two poor Hispanics on bicycles with rakes, "It's bad luck just ''seeing'' a thing like that!"
* In ''[[Robots]]'', Fender loses his legs and finds himself on a [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom|conveyor belt]]. He sees a spare pair of legs, delightedly attaches them ... and down falls a skirt.
{{quote| '''Fender:''' ''[hikes skirt and runs]'' So wrong, this is SO WRONG.}}
* ''Happiness'': Almost every scene in Todd Solondz's film, a [[Sarcasm Mode|tender comedy]] about rape and child abuse.
* Used seriously in ''[[The Royal Tenenbaums]]''. Margot tells Eli, with whom she's having an affair, that she doesn't love him; he replies, "I know, you're in love with Richie. Which is sick and gross." He has a bit of a point, since, adopted or not, Richie is her older brother.
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* ''[[Duumvirate]]'' features things that squick out a man who is worse than [[Nazi Germany|Josef Mengele]].
* ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'': [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s novel ''Cetaganda'' depicts a planet where genetic engineering has become a fine art. When two visitors from a slightly more normal planet happen to walk by a ''kitten tree'' in fruit, one remarks, "Now that is just wrong." This trope was used tactically to end the Vorryuter subplot in ''A Civil Campaign''. {{spoiler|Richars (cousin of the late count), apparently taking things personally, hired thugs to emasculate Dono ([[Gender Bender|sister-turned-brother]] of the late count) the night before the Council of Counts decided on who inherited the seat. Ivan Vorpatril, after helping incapacitate said assailants before serious damage was done, hauled them and Dono not to the local guard or hospital but to a meeting of Richars' main supporters. Oddly enough Richars lost most of his votes the next day.}}
* In [[Christopher Moore]]'s ''[[A Dirty Job (Literature)|A Dirty Job]]'', Charlie Ascher walks in on one of his employees and one of his former employees (the first a middle-aged retired and paranoid cop, the latter a twenty something goth girl who had worked there since her teens) shagging in the thrift store he owns. This trope is his reaction.
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', Molly -Harry's teenage apprentice- in a helpful attempt to charm some information out of someone takes off her bra and goes out to sweet talk the stooge. Harry and the injured warden, Morgan, watch her go, and Morgan makes a comment along the lines of 'nice'. Harry is shocked. Morgan says he's old, but he's not dead, and Harry is thoroughly sickened by the mental image. Made all the squickier for Harry by the fact that Molly isn't just his apprentice, she's his friend's daughter, whom he's known since she was ten.
* ''[[Ciaphas Cain]]'': In ''Traitor's Hand'', Cain and some Imperials Guardsmen infiltrate a temple of [[Horny Devils|Slaanesh]] and observe the murals inside:
{{quote| '''One of the guardsmen:''' Is this even anatomically possible?<br />
'''Cain:''' No, it's not. And even if it were, it'd be against regulations. }}
* In ''[[Nightside|Hell To Pay]]'', John Taylor gets bored waiting for a tycoon's attention, so uses this trope to clear the room of yes-men, switching the tycoon's [[Ominous Multiple Screens]] to the most [[Sick and Wrong]] pornographic program he knows of. The contents of the "Celebrity Perversion Hour" are enough to send the crowd of yes-men climbing out the windows to avoid it.
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'':
** Xander's sum-up of the plot of "Ted" in season 2:
{{quote|'''Xander''': So I'm Ted, the sickly loser. I'm dying and my wife dumps me. I build a better Ted. He brings her back, holds her hostage in his Bunker O' Love until she dies. And then he keeps bringing her back, over and over again. Now, now that's creepy on a level ''I hardly knew existed''.}}
** "Dopplegangland" has Willow comment, "This can't get any more disturbing," after Vampire!Willow comes on to her. [[It Got Worse|And then it does]].
** Also, when Spike gets himself a robot that looks like Buffy, because he can't get the real one to like him.
{{quote|'''Xander''': Spike must have had her built so he could program her to-
'''Buffy''': (horrified) Oh God!
'''Willow''': Yikes. Imagine the things-
'''Buffy''': ''No!'' No imagining, any of you!}}
** In season 7, Xander and Willow spot a very attractive young woman out on the dance floor of the Bronze and proceed to enthusiastically perv over her. Cue the [[Squick]] when the object of their ogling turns around and reveals herself to be Dawn.
{{quote|'''Xander''': Oh... oh no! Daddy no... I wasn't... when I was lookin' I wasn't... ''oh God!''
'''Willow''': Right there with ya.}}
* ''[[Firefly]]''
** Jayne's reaction on walking in on Mal and Zoe during their deadpan "Take me, sir. Take me hard" scene.
Line 53 ⟶ 60:
** Another episode of ''Dead Like Me'' (specifically, Season 1, Episode 11), Dolores is throwing a Mexican-themed going-away party for Millie, complete with margaritas, pinata, and a real live burro. George sees a man leading the burro into a room at the end of a hallway and says, "''That's'' not right."
** Because the writers were obviously very fond of this trope, it's also used in the final episode (Season 2, Episode 15). George and Mason are getting candy at various houses on Hallowe'en Night on the way to their reaps, and they stop at a house whose owner is dressed up as a sexy, corseted vampiress. The house turns out to be a whorehouse and the owner its madam; one of the prostitutes steps out for a smoke wearing peach-coloured lingerie, and tousles the hair of a trick-or-treating child, leading George to say, "Oh, that's just not right!"
* In ''[[Frasier]]'' episode "Voyage of the Damned", Maris puts on a cheesy 1970's salsa-disco song called "Do the Barracuda", causing Frasier to react, "Oh, oh, that's bad. [[This Is Wrong Onon So Many Levels|On so many levels]]."
* From ''[[Friends]]'', when Phoebe's 18 year-old brother is going to marry his 44 year-old teacher:
{{quote| '''Phoebe:''' I don't want to be all judgmental, you know, but this is sick; it's sick and wrong!}}
* Dean in ''[[Supernatural]]'', upon discovering that the fans pair him with his brother: "Oh, come on, that's just sick!"
* Many of the more outrageous things [[House (TV series)|House]] says have this sort of reaction.
{{quote| '''House:''' What can I say, chicks with no teeth turn me on.<br />
'''Wilson:''' That's fairly disgusting. }}
* On ''[[Dollhouse]]'', Caroline!Wendy says, "The wrongness of this is SO large!"
 
== Professional Wrestling ==
* Back in 2000, pretty much the response whenever Naked Mideon showed up thanks to his [[Naked Apron| fanny pack]]. You can image the [[William Regal| the ]] [[Chris Jericho| guys]] [[Kane (wrestling)| who]] had to put up with him were [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!| pretty much thinking.]]
 
== Tabletop Games ==
* Most people's reaction to ''[[FATAL]]''. Realis'''CLOACATIME'''!
* Warhammer 40K has plenty of this. Being grim dark world, there is no shortage of Sick and Wrong things in it. A few examples would be the Forces of Chaos (Slanesh and Nurgle in particular), the victims of Dark Eldar, The Imperium of Man, who have been described as Nazis in Space!, who are only "good" by comparison of MUCH worse horrors, and many more.
 
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Phantasmagoria: aA Puzzle of Flesh]]'': First (?) and most memorable utterance of the phrase '[[Sick and Wrong]]' came from this 1996 puzzle game. It contained quite a few Squick sequences captured in video detail. The character saying the lines was a straitjacketed girl in an asylum (the story writer in a cameo, incidentally) who repeated the phrase in tones that alternated between accusative and exhausted. This was aired throughout the scene while the main character, strapped in his own straight-jacket and doped up in a wheelchair, had to figure out how to escape while witnessing and hearing things that were exactly as the girl described: "Sick and wrong!" [https://web.archive.org/web/20131118054244/http://spoonyexperiment.com/category/phantasmagoria/ As is the game.]
 
 
Line 79 ⟶ 88:
 
== Web Original ==
* ''[[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|The Spoony Experiment]]'': Spoony invokes this after seeing a scene in the Ultimate Warrior's Christmas special comic depicting the Ultimate Warrior pulling on Santa Claus' pants while standing over a naked, unconscious, Santa Claus with a strange white substance on him. "He raped Santa!"
* A number [[Fanfic|Fanfics]]s tackled by the [[PPC]] fall under this heading.
* The podcast ''Sick and Wrong'' where, as the title implies, they discuss sick and wrong news from all over the world. It's [[Better Than It Sounds]], but [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]].
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* On ''[[Kim Possible]]'', Ron (and Barkin) would frequently describe [[Squick|squickysquick]]y things as being "sick and wrong." ''Really'' weird stuff would elicit the response "This goes beyond sick and wrong! It's [[Buffy-Speak|Wrongsick]]!''"
* On ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'', Edd's response to finding out Ed's parents completely removed the basement stairs solely for the purpose of keeping Ed grounded in "Three Squares and an Ed" is "That's... disturbing." He has a similar reaction in "High-Heeled Ed" to Ed's claim "Sarah likes to watch me eat yogurt from my belly button." Moments earlier, Ed proclaim his 'sensitive side' has a rash, which causes Eddy to groan.
* An episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' had Spongebob and Pat see a hibernating Sandy. Spongebob states that they shouldn't disturb her sleeping. Patrick responds, "That's not disturbing. ''This'' is disturbing." Patrick promptly folds his back fat to form a face and says, "Hi. Sponge. Bob. My. Name. Is. Pat. Back." Spongebob replies cheerily, "Ha! That ''is'' really disturbing!"
* There's an episode of [[Filmation]]'s ''[[FilmationsFilmation's Ghostbusters (Animation)|Filmations Ghostbusters]]'' where [[Big Bad|Prime Evil]] is forced to do ''one good deed'' in order to gain his powers back. Upon hearing this, he muses, "How disgusting."
* ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'':
** Bart Simpson has this reaction when he hears Ned Flanders singing falsetto.
** Comic Book Guy has a similar reaction when a mechanical hand gives him a wedgie (Long story short, don't mess with Tom Savini).
** Let's not forget Chief Wiggum catching a naked skateboarding Bart...
* ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]:'' The boys witness an alien orgy:
{{quoteQuote| '''JoozianChief #1:Wiggum''': YeahStop, suckin mythe jagon!<brname />of American squeamishness!}}
* ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]:'' The boys witness an alien orgy:
'''Joozian #2:''' Yeah! Now you suck on ''my'' jagon! Oh yeah!! Stick your finger in my thrusher! Oh yeah, suck it. Suck that jagon!<br />
{{quote|'''Joozian #1:''' Yeah, suck my jagon!
'''Joozian #2:''' Yeah! Now you suck on ''my'' jagon! Oh yeah!! Stick your finger in my thrusher! Oh yeah, suck it. Suck that jagon!<br />
'''Stan:''' Dude, I have no idea what we're seeing right now, but I have a feeling it's really, really wrong. }}
* ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' responds with a variable of this line when he's [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten|charged with eating a kitten]].
* A short part of ''[[Robot Chicken]]'''s ''[[Star Wars]]'' sketch includes a bit with Luke and Leia lying in bed, obviously short after [[Twincest|having sex]]. Luke looks pleased, while Leia just looks disturbed and finally says "That was so wrong".
* On ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', when the former realizes that they're in their sister's stomach, the latter's response is that its "wrong on so many levels". When Phineas ''then'' realises they're also technically on a date with Jeremy, Ferb repeats the line.
* In the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode, '''Fast Times at Buddy Cianci High''', Lois informs Peter that Chris has fallen in love with his teacher, it leads to this
{{quote| '''Meg''': Ew, gross.
'''Stewie''': You know what else is gross? (He lets out a fart.) Ahh! Broke a damn blood vessel!}}
