As she starts on the height differential and how that was dealt with, the others collectively walk out, deciding that they don't need to hear this about their own mother.
* In one episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'', Dr. Kelso describes how he and his crippled obese wife had sex the previous evening. Dr. Cox then suggests to the rest of of Kelso's involuntary audience that they forget about what they just heard.
** 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]]."

* In the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "Looking for ''Par'mach'' in All the Wrong Places", Bashir's reaction to Quark and the Klingon chick and then Worf and Dax's explanations of how they acquired their collections of bruises and cuts they come in to have treated at the end of the episode. The exact phrasing is more like, "I didn't really need to have that image running around in my head right now," and at the end he comments that [[Crowning Moment of Funny|he ''really'' needs to stop asking people what they have been doing.]]
* ''[[iCarly]]'': Despite the subtleties, innuendos may be lampshaded in the show from time
