* In the ''[[Full Metal Panic]]!'' novels, during TSR, [[Big Bad|Gauron]] tells Sōsuke that he fantasized dragging his dead body out of his AS and fucking it up the ass. Sōsuke is horrified, to say the least. And Gauron has the audacity to ask why he's making a face at him. It's made all the funnier by how Gauron attributes Sōsuke's worried and disgusted face to a [[Heroic BSOD]], instead of the more obvious and immediate reason....

* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', Koizumi explained at Kyon's request that he gained his ESP powers when both Haruhi and him were undergoing puberty.

'''Calhoun:''' Granted, and I'll join you. }}

* Nutt, from ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'', generally speaks in lectures, and at one point gives Ponder a taste of his own medicine. He also tells the woman he has [[Just Friends|a bit of a crush on]] that he is in fact staring at her arms, because they're such remarkably nice arms; this doesn't seem intended as flirting but rather a friendly compliment combined with wishing to clear up what he was doing. He also shares pertinent but wholly unnecessary details about his bodily functions, which is seen as part of his habit of being "precise but odd".

** In another episode a teenaged patient asks Dr Cox how he's doing, and he replies that he's recently lost the ability to process dairy, leading to Carla saying "Woah! T.M.I! Am I right, Josh? Too Much Information?" Dr Cox then tells Josh that he'll have a word with his parents "and you can chat with [[Totally Radical|Nurse Early Nineties Catchphrases]]."

'''Sam:''' ''(shaking her head)'' Oh, Carly...<br />

'''Carly:''' Just watch. }}

* It's not as explicit, but when Col. Potter assumes command of the 4077th ''[[MASH]]'' he learns more than he wants to when he's reviewing his officers. He's commended Major Houlihan, who appears to be the [[Only Sane Man]], for her spotless record, and then moves on to the next officer...

** Half the dialogue from this show qualifies as [[Too Much Information]]. But Nathan and Kelly manage to take it to new heights in season 2, when their agent, Laura, asks to know about their previous misdemeanors so she's prepared if the media find out. Nathan proceeds to tell a ''horrible'' story about picking up a (probably heavily sedated) girl in a dentist's waiting room, having sex with her, and accidentally "tripling" himself mid-coitus (it's "when you cum, puke and shit yourself all at once")

'''Nathan:''' Technically it was a gorilla. }}

* One episode of ''[[Friends]]'' had Chandler's mom reveal on national television that she gets a craving for kung-pow chicken after sex, followed by Chandler yelling, "That's too much information!"

* From the ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' episode "I Honestly Love You (No, Not You)":

* ''[[Mass Effect (video game)|Mass Effect 1]]'': "Some krogan believe that testicle transplants will improve their virility, counteract the effects of the genophage. It doesn't work, but that doesn't stop them from buying. They'll pay ten thousand credits for each one -- [[Bizarre Alien Biology|that's forty thousand for a whole set.]] [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check|Someone's making a killing out there.]]"

** Shepard says this to [[Mass Effect 2|Thane]] when he's describing the drell race's ability to perfectly recall any memory.

'''Shepard:''' Isn't that a rather personal memory to talk about? }}

** In [[Mass Effect 3|the third game]], Liara has this reaction to her father {{spoiler|Matriarch Aethyta}} reminiscing about her mother "Nezzy"'s [[Buxom Is Better|magnificent rack]], complete with [[Wolf Whistle]].

* [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20010617.html This strip] in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', where the narrator keeps changing the scene because everybody are talking about things you REALLY don't want to hear about. Finally, he ends up with Schlock explaining the inner workings of Carboscilicate Amorph Reproduction to Admiral Breya -- or rather, him wrapping up such an explanation. The narrator comments: "That was either too much, or too little information. Either way, it's disturbing." The last one was arguably too little information. It turns out not to be disgusting at all -- just a bit creepy.

** [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-11-30 Gerbils are better than rats]. On the next page Schlock describe the differences he noticed and Tagon gets "disturbed in a visceral way".

* In [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/fringe-paranormals/ this] (warning! spoilers) strip of ''[[Wapsi Square]]'', Justin goes into a little too much detail about something that a previous girlfriend had him do.

* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' occasionally have things like this. When Mrs. Delacroix, with a nostalgic [[Luminescent Blush|blush]], [http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20110126.html mentions] her... fond memories of Chloe's mother, following by a mass [[Jaw Drop]] and Brooke covering Nina's ears. For that matter, Chloe's mother, as an adult [[Succubus]], have some good pointers, even [http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/What%20is%20it%20succu-bun hints on which] make Chloe's face a little off.
