** And hilariously subverted in the same series in a hypothetical [[What Could Have Been]] episode, where Ross and Carol, still married, agree to have a threesome with Susan, who was then only a... ''friend'' of Carol's. Ross, tossed aside during most of the act, finds out the hard way about his wife's homosexuality. He made and ate a sandwich halfway through. They didn't mind.

* ''[[Seinfeld]]'': George [[Eureka Moment|realizes]] the only way to make a switch from dating one roommate to another - normally an impossible situation - is by suggesting a Menage-a-trois to the current girlfriend. The old girlfriend will be [[Squick|Squicked]], refuse, and tell the other. The roommate will be flattered that she's been offered. The girlfriend will dump the boy, and the other roommate will contact him to go out. Problem: when Jerry tries it, his girlfriend and her roommate both react positively, thus [[Squick|Squicking]] ''Jerry'' out of the relationship.

* In the third season of ''[[Gossip Girl]]'' an upcoming threesome was announced, and created a lot of publicity. Reactions among the fans quickly went from excitement to boredom when it turned out that the threesome was between Dan, [[The Scrappy|Vanessa]] and Olivia (guest star Hilary Duff). Two of the show's least popular characters together with a guest character few people cared about. The whole thing is generally considered one of the ''least'' hot moments on the show, though [[Your Mileage May Vary]].

** Threesomes seem rather common on this show, though mainly carried out behind the scenes. Chuck seems to have more than his fair share, and both Nate and Blair lecture Dan about the unwritten rules for the activity.

* In an episode of ''[[Special Unit 2]]'', a pair of Medusa sisters pick up men in clubs with the promise of a threesome and, when they're alone, they show their real "hair," petrifying the poor saps. O'Malley goes in undercover and is immediately approached by a pair of sisters offering the same proposition, followed by the Medusae doing the same. He is torn between the two pairs of sisters until one mentions that she's not wearing any panties, tipping the scales in her favor. Incidentally, she is a Medusa. He's been hunting [[Differently-Powered Individual|Links]] for a long time now, so they don't catch him off-guard, although he probably would've rather gone with the other sisters, who actually meant what they said.

* In a ''[[Sliders]]'' episode, the characters end up in a world where the bikers are raiding oil trucks to convert it to gas for their bikes. Apparently, all cars run on alternative fuels here. Mallory ([[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|not Q-ball]]) hooks up with a woman who turns out to be the leader of the local biker gang. One day, he enters her place to find her in bed with two guys (all still clothed, for PG reasons), who she calmly explains are her husbands. Furthermore, she invites him to join them. He refuses and later finds out that his friends knew that polygamy is legal and perfectly acceptable in this world.

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' featured a fake-documentary sketch about village idiots, centering on one Arthur Figgis([[John Cleese]]). When the narrator asks "What about his relationships with women?" the scene cuts to Figgis in bed with two gorgeous and apparantly naked women, saying, "I may be an idiot, but I'm not a fool."
