Line 34:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In the anime ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'', Tomo asks a drunken Kurosawa-sensei to explain it, which she does. We don't hear any dialogue, but are treated to the girls' reactions as their faces steadily become redder (with the exception of little Chiyo, who is clueless) and some odd arm movements (Nothing explicit, just... odd).
** What makes it ''hilarious'' is the [[Relax -O -Vision]] (and music) accompanying the scene, and then, when Nyamo is sober again the next morning, [[Hilarity Ensues|Chiyo asks some questions.]] Watch the whole scene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY8L_apFieE#t=1m20s here].
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic]]: Fumoffu'', Kaname gives a sort of similar talk to Sousuke (though it was more explaining what "flirting" and "picking up women" was). No dialogue is heard, and his reaction is to turn deathly pale and break out into cold sweat, stammering that he "can't do that." Lord knows what his reaction would be should anyone ever give him [[The Talk]] about explicit sex.
** "Listen up! Flirting is... (fast forward mode)When a guy talks to a girl he doesn't know in the city or a store to invite them to hang around with them. The trick is to smile often, and show that you are a cheerful guy. If the girl agrees to come along, you can take her to a cafe or anywhere else you want. Entertain her plenty, smile constantly, and bring up conversations that modern girls would enjoy talking about. And be sure to include some moderate amount of compliments in between. And you have to pay the bill. In short, just act like Kurz-kun." At which point Sousuke realizes he's in waaay over his head... (The dialogue has been Transcribed by intensive use of freeze-frame on a subtitled version of that episode. I can only say that the beginning and the part about Kurz at the end are correct, since they are perfectly audible in the original Japanese as well...)
Line 71:
 
== [[Fanfic]] ==
* There's a ''[[Star Trek (Film)|Star Trek XI]]'' fic [http://community.livejournal.com/st_xi_kink/8314.html?thread=23814266#t23814266 here,] written for that fandom's [[Kink Meme]] where for family reasons Chekov had never been given the Talk, and the bridge team decides to rectify this. Unfortunately, rather than selecting one person to do this, almost all of them decide to chime in on it independently. Spock uses diagrams. Bones uses the [[Scare 'Em Straight]] method.
** There was a hilarious one in which [[Spock]] is mailed a pamphlet called "[[Mate or Die|Pon Farr]] and you."
* A particularly funny ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic had Naruto going around and asking all the adults in the village what sex is and keeping a journal of the info he gets as they all either brush him off or give him lewd advice. "NEVER GO INTO ANKO'S HOUSE! She has a bunch of weird equipment and she's hard to get away from when she gets her clothes off."
Line 95:
* In ''[[The Legend of Spyro a New Dawn (Fanfic)|The Legend Of Spyro: A New Dawn]]'', Sparx reveals his dad had [[The Talk]] with him before he left home. He promptly changes the subject because he doesn't want to talk about it. Volteer and Cyril give a rather tame one to Cynder as well. Volteer was about to give a much more...detailed version by Cyril cut him off.
* In ''[[Kitsune On Campus (Fanfic)|Kitsune on Campus]]'', {{spoiler|Naruto}} is forced to give one to class 3-A as a punishment for {{spoiler|painting entire campus orange}}. He is less than pleased.
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic [http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1983/The-Birds-and-the-Bees The Birds and the Bees] has the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting into hilarious shenanigans as they try to figure out where foals come from, and repeatedly get the wrong idea from asking the Mane Six.
* For ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', Sealand gets an incredibly awkward and incomplete version of the talk from Sweden and Finland after accidentally walking in on them in [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7870821/1/Why_is_Mama_Moaning 'Why Is Mama Moaning?'].
 
Line 166:
* [[Buffy]] and her mom have a different kind of talk after Angelus tells Joyce that he and Buffy had sex. It is played not for laughs, but for angst, as it brings up the emotional agony Buffy is suffering as a result of Angel losing his soul.
* ''[[MASH]]'': Colonel Blake gives a lecture on the dangers of getting STD from the local prostitutes which creates much amusement in those listening, as he acts like an embarrassed father giving [[The Talk]].
* [[The Colbert Report|Stephen Colbert]] [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/229656/june-04-2009/the-word---just-don-t-do-it once] did a "[[Scare 'Em Straight|different]]" Talk.
* Was a [[Running Gag]] on ''[[Clarissa Explains It All]]''.
* Allison from ''[[Living With Fran]]'' receives two talks. One takes place before the series and is the "How and What", the later one is the "Who and When".
Line 215:
'''Binky:''' Well, that's how babies are made. }}
* In [http://wondermark.com/d/426.html this] ''[[Wondermark]]'', a father tree gives his embarrassed son a talk about pollination. (Or "bee-pokin,'" as you kids would call it.) The strip's even ''titled'' "In which a Tree gets the Talk."
* Subverted in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' in which whenever Calvin asks his dad where babies come from, his dad always messes with him, [[Little -Known Facts|coming up with ridiculous answers]], such as him being dropped down the chimney by a pterodactyl (Calvin thinks that's cool), or a construction kit that was bought on sale. To be fair, Calvin is only six years old.
** Worse, his father says that said kits are purchased at Sears, but they got Calvin at a K-Mart, and only because he was "defective" and got a discount. Calvin was...[[Heroic BSOD|a little shaken up]].
 
Line 295:
{{quote| '''Bart:''' What a day, eh, Milhouse? The sun is out, birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them - as is my understanding...}}
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPNxZno3YaM&feature=related It's not like Bart didn't know already however.]
* ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' The episode "A Smith in the Hand" had Stan try to give it to Steve (who doesn't know as much as he pretends to). Stan, being an ultra-conservative, and this being the first season before he's lightened up, doesn't give good advice (he said if you have sex before you're married [[Scare 'Em Straight|angels will kill you]], then shows Steve a 1950s short film about the evils of masturbation). At the end of the episode, he finally decides to play it straight and apparently gets quite explicit...but forgetting to turn the camera off while ''on a children's television show''. (And by that I mean a [[Show Within a Show]] the characters were on, and I'm in no way suggesting that ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' is a children's show).
* ''[[Carl Squared]]'': Carl's parents decide to give him the talk at the end of "Carl's Techno-Jinx", complete with helpful educational video.
* ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'': Dr. Venture decides to give Dean "the talk" since he has a girlfriend (kinda). All we get is a muted section with some interesting gestures, a GI Joe humping a lamp, and various other things. Next thing we know the topic has somehow moved to White Snake. Dean ends up staging a small version of "Lady Windermere's Fan" for Triana (his female friend).
