Line 148:
* The title of ''[[Stars Above|Stars Above's]]'' fifth chapter is this. [[Lucky Star|Kagami]] says it when Tsukasa misinterprets seeing her lying in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Homura's]] lap.

* When Fiona pulls the arrow out of Shrek's butt in the first ''[[Shrek]]'' film, she ends up on top of him, just in time for Donkey to walk in and take things the wrong way. Cue Shrek jumping up and saying, "Nothing Happened!"
* In ''Mystic Pizza'', Daisy (a poor Portuguese Catholic girl) sees her love interest Charles (a wealthy WASP guy) talking to a very attractive woman at a party. Consumed with jealousy, she persuades a lobsterman to dump his entire day's catch into Charles's expensive convertible sports car. Daisy then discovers that the woman Charles was talking to was in fact his cousin, leading to a memorable exchange:
{{quote|'''Daisy:''' I fucked up.
Line 207 ⟶ 205:
* In ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'', several scenes before Perrin and Faile get together she is trying to restrain him from going out and overexerting himself after not having sufficiently recovered from his wounds, and ends up having him pinned on the kitchen floor...right when Mistress al'Vere walks in.
* More "not what it ''sounds'' like" in this example: after Catti-Brie loots a [[Talking Weapon]] in the ''[[Legacy of the Drow Series]]'', the blade takes over her mind and body temporarily to try to convince Drizzt that ''he'' should have the sword instead, since this is what the sword wants. This results in a partly hilarious/partly creepy scene where its psychic hold over Catti-Brie causes her to say to Drizzt the words that the sword wants to say to him: "Take me!" (Artist's rendering [http://silver-falcon.deviantart.com/art/Drizzt-s-Dilemma-2-58577677?moodonly=1 here].) Since the two of them are only friends at the time, Drizzt is pretty shocked. Fortunately, she follows that up with "Wield me!", making it clear to Drizzt that she isn't talking about sex and is possessed by the sword.
* Happens to many an [[Upper Class Twit]] in the writings of [[P. G.
* Inverted in ''[[
* ''[[The Longing of Shiina Ryo]]'': now, just because Shin-tsu kicked you out when the teacher came over during the night doesn't mean that anything [[Teacher-Student Romance|improper]] was happening! Honest!
* The pranks of Fat Marcus The Moneylender and his frat buddies in ''[[The Pale King]]''.
* In the [[Young Wizards]] series by [[Diane Duane]], Nita's mother is understandably concerned when her 13-year-old daughter claims to be doing "adult stuff" with her male best friend Kit. Nita means "adult stuff" like saving the world.
Line 373 ⟶ 371:
* ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' shows us a [http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20080901 particularly Genre Savvy example], as Lucas ''asks'' if it's what it looks like.
* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''
** Played with in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0269.html strip #269], when Celia recalls finding out her boyfriend "[[Literal Metaphor|slipping the wood]]" to a dryad. He says it's not what it looks, but it's unsure what it looks like in the first place
** Subverted when Nale seduces Haley in order to betray and kill her, only to be stopped when his enraged girlfriend Sabine arrives. She realizes what's going on immediately, but wanted to kill Haley herself:
{{quote|'''Nale:''' It's not what it looks like.

'''Layla''': Somebody, just stake me now! }}
* ''[[Sandra and Woo]]'' #[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/05/23/0484-larisas-dirty-secret/ 0484], in which Larisa’s Dirty Secret is revealed… or not… er… whatever it is.
* ''[[Grrl Power]]'': Lead character Sydney ends up naked while trying to get an equally-naked young succubus to calm down (and, unknown to Sydney, stop broadcasting her lust to everyone else on base). When [https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1193-kiss-monsters-gonna-get-ya/ Sydney's boss and the succubus' older sister burst in], Sydney's first words were "This isn't what it looks like?"
