* In ''[[Yosuga no Sora]]'': {{spoiler|During Sora's arc, Kozue and Nao walk in on Haruka and Sora during climax; Kozue's reaction is to run away screaming hysterically. During Nao's arc, Sora walks in on Haruka and Nao going at it; she kicks Nao out of the house.}}
** {{spoiler|And in the [[Backstory]] of both arcs, Sora secretly sees Nao forcing herself on Haruka.}}

* In ''[[Runaways]]'', when Gert finds out her parents are actually super villains, she says "This is worse than the time I walked in on them doing it!"
* [[Robert Crumb]] once tried to explain such a scene to his son as him and Aline (his wife) playing horse-riding. He didn't find an explanation though for why Aline had to be naked to do this.

* In the (not for faint-hearted!) [[Pokémon]] fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2053520/1/Latias_Journey/ Latias' Journey]'', the cast enjoys a quiet-before-the-storm party on the night before the final battle. Some of them go for more...[[Pre-Climax Climax|involved]] celebrations than others. So anyway, [[Children Are Innocent|Phanpy]] walks in on [[It Makes Sense in Context|Uncle Brother]] Pikachu going at it with a Weavile. Traumatized, he runs to Aunt Corsola for help, and walks in on ''her'' right in the middle of [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Crawdaunt's]] ''massive orgy''. You can [[Harmful to Minors|probably]] [[Blank White Eyes|imagine]] [[Heroic BSOD|what]] [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia|happens]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|next]].

* [[Played With]] in a recent chapter of [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6254986/1/The_Anagram_of_Suzumiya_Kurumi this] fanfic-- [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Kyon's]] sister walks in on him and his girlfriend having sex. Evidently this happens so often that it no longer fazes her. Also, Mikuru ([[Kid From the Future|who in this fic is Kyon and Haruhi's future kid]]) knows about it, and is a bit shocked, even though she knew it had to happen eventually.

Line 58:
* Averted in ''[[Poltergeist]]'', as Carol Ann's request for a late-night glass of water takes place when her parents are only engaged in foreplay, not intercourse.
* In ''[[Rain Man]]'', Raymond walks in on Charlie and Suzanna making love, and as he doesn't understand what's going on, mimics their orgasmic moans until Charlie realises he's in the room and snaps angrily at him.

Line 65:
* In ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'', a version of this is the reason why the female protagonist had a falling-out with her grandfather {{spoiler|as a young girl, she walked in on him and his "co-religionists" worshipping via an orgy}}. Not just [[Fan Disservice]] since the participants were elderly, but also rather Satanic looking.
* In ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|Memory]]'', Miles has a moment of surprise when he realizes his Aunt Alys (widowed since shortly before Miles's birth) has started sleeping with his former boss, ex-[[The Spymaster|Spymaster]] Simon Illyan. When Alys's son Ivan finds out, he has reaction B, and the reader gets a nice dose of reaction C from the interplay.
** Unlike most instances of this trope, Miles and Ivan are adults. Ivan's reaction has more to do with: a) the fact that [[Squick|this is his]] ''[[Squick|mother]]'' we're talking about, and b) the fact that ''both'' Simon and Alys have public reputations for being extremely prim and proper (well, for Simon it's more "respectable" than "prim"), and [[Naughty
* Robin in [[The Tomorrow Series]] mentions this was how she last saw her parents.
* Briefly discussed in ''[[Head Count]]'' by Ingrid Noll: when Maya is in counselling after {{spoiler|accidentally killing her brother}}, she makes up a dream about being a little bird that flies around and looks into people's windows. Her psychiatrist assumes that she must have walked in on her parents as a child.

* Parodied in the [[Girl Genius]] novel ''Agatha H. and the Airship City'': Young Agatha was traumatized by walking in on her [[Artificial Human|"construct"]] foster parents recharging themselves.
Line 77:
** 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.

* J.D. explains his emotional problems thusly in ''[[Scrubs]]'':
{{quote| ''My emotional journey began at 5 years old when I walked in on my parents having sex in a position my father would later playfully describe as "the jackhammer".''}}
* On ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'', Gaby and Carlos are having blind sex (he is blind; she's wearing a blindfold). Gaby hears a sound, rips off the blindfold and, lo and behold, there is Juanita drinking from a juice box. They don't know how long Juanita has been there, either.
* Dawson from ''[[
* Monica from ''[[Friends]]'' first found a video tape of her parents having sex (complete with "Oh Jack" and "Oh Judy"). Then a few episodes later she was hiding from her parents in the bathroom when both walk in, and, well, this quote pretty much sums it up:
{{quote| '''Ross''': Mon? Mon, are you okay?<br />
Line 98:
'''Erin''': Yeah, I know. Otherwise, what I walked in on my mother doing to him would've been so sick! }}
* An episode of ''Ready or Not'' revolved around sexuality, beginning with Amanda walking into her parents shagging it out.

* On ''[[Modern Family]]'', Phil and Claire's kids walk in on them having sex which traumatizes both Claire and the kids. Phil tries to deal with it humorously. The family have an uncomfortable talk about it.
* ''[[King of Queens]]'' Doug and Carrie look after Deacon and Kelly's kids at their apartment while they're out of town. One of the kids walk in on Doug and Carrie having sex and draws a picture of it.
* In ''[[Sugar Rush (TV)]]'', Kim finds out about her mother's affair with their home decorator when she walks in on them having very loud sex in the living room.

* In ''[[Mad Men]]'', Sally Draper sees {{spoiler|her step-grandmother giving a blowjob to her [[Honorary Uncle]] Roger Sterling.}} Given that she's pretty precocious (despite being only 12 or 13, she's more aware than the average girl her age, and {{spoiler|has been masturbating herself for at least a year}}), she doesn't seem to be particularly scarred--merely astonished and kinda disgusted.

** A pretty tragic example, seeing as he was just remembering the woman he loved and it causes Sasha to freak out so badly he runs away from home.
* ''[[You Don't Know Jack]]: The Ride'' includes a question, based on the idea that [[Steven Seagal]] movies all have three syllables (''[[Under Siege]]'', ''[[Hard to Kill]]'', et. al.) and asks the contestant(s) to identify the likely plot to a Seagal movie named ''Primal Scene'' (the correct answer, of course, being the outline of this trope). At the end of the round, players are treated to someone impersonating Seagal's voice and acting style and blandly exclaiming, "Oh no, mom and dad are wrestling!"
Line 135:
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had it in a [[Flash Back]] to Bart's first words. He's walking down the hall and sees Homer and Marge fooling around, to which he says "[[Catch Phrase|¡AY CARAMBA!]]"<ref>Interjection denoting surprise</ref> For obvious reasons, Marge thought it better not to bring it up.
** Also happens in "The Haw-Hawed Couple", when Bart and Lisa walked in on Homer and Marge 'Snuggling', despite the boombox playing the fake argument tape Homer and Marge made, leaving Bart traumatized.
*** Until he gets some perspective from Milhouse: "Trust me, Bart, it's better to walk in on both your parents instead of [[A Date
