Caught with Your Pants Down: Difference between revisions

[[File:Pie Scene 2 3287.jpg|link=American Pie|frame| Oh! Uh...hey...]]

 

 

A subtrope of [[Cringe Comedy]]. A character, thinking they are alone, decides to [[A Date with Rosie Palms|indulge in a little self-pleasuring]] only to be interrupted by their partner, parent, sibling, best friend, [[The Vicar]] (for maximum laughs), whatever. Seriously people, next time - lock the door.

 

{{noreallife|this is All The Tropes, not Tropes After Dark.}}

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

 

== [[Fan Works]] ==

* The start of the "Vs. Ponyville" arc in ''[[Progress]]'' sees Celestia finding Luna in the library, asking why, and not getting a straight answer. She figures it out within seconds: Luna walked in on Sundance (her roommate) and Hoyden (Sundance's coltfriend) mating (capping her long streak of luck walking in on them being romantic). In order to help avoid awkwardness, Celestia assigns Luna to duties that require her to leave Canterlot for a while.

* In ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'', Sasuke catches Ronan sucking his own penis while looking at a picture of Sakura, prompting Ronan to shoot him with his blue light in retaliation. Later on, Ronan masturbates to Taliana raping Sakura until Taliana sees him, at which point he shoots her in the vagina and frees Sakura.

* Michael ([[Dustin Hoffman]]) in ''[[Tootsie]]'' gets quite literally caught with his pants down by Sandy. His reaction is classic: {{spoiler|"Sandy, I want you."}}

* In ''[[Going Berserk]]'', John Candy's character is recounting a recurring dream to a psychiatrist - it's seen as a parody of "The Blue Lagoon", where his advances to the girl he's on an island with are constantly rebuffed (in direct contradiction to his narrative) - he goes off to another part of the island to be "alone with his thoughts" as he says, which means to furiously masturbate. He then looks up, and finds he's not alone - a cruise ship is passing by with everyone on board watching and laughing at him. As he ends the story, he's dismayed to find the psychiatrist laughing uproariously.

* In ''[[Splice]]'', {{spoiler|Elsa walks in on her boyfriend Clive having sex with [[Half-Human Hybrid|Dren]], and is appropriately [[squick]]ed out and pissed off by it}}.

* In the French erotic film ''[[The Dreamers]]'', Isabelle catches Matthew masturbating to old pictures of actress Marlene Dietrich, and then has him perform cunninligus on her.

* ''[[Weird Science (film)|Weird Science]]'' had an entertaining [[Freak-Out]] over tossing off. "You told me you were combing your hair!"

* In ''[[The Blue Lagoon]]'' there's a scene where Richard, seen from behind, is clearly masturbating. Emmeline asks him "What are you doing?" and he guiltily says "Nothing!" [[Or So I Heard]].

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* One episode of ''[[Extras]]'' has Andy walk in on his agent masturbating to a pen with a naked woman's picture on it. His agent's secretary then comes in and takes the pen from him...and is also masturbating to it when Andy leaves.

* The ''[[British Newspapers|Daily Mail Island]]'' sketch from ''[[TV Go Home]]'' has a particularly horrifying example, where a teenage girl is caught masturbating by her parents ("She was debasing ''everything''! With her ''fingers''!") and subjected to a show trial where she has to masturbate before the other islanders before being hung.

* Implied in an episode of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'', although when two male characters who aren't ([[Shipping Wars|canonically]]) having sex spend all their time together, it's to be expected.

** More than just implied in the season six episode "Caged Heat" when Castiel (hilariously) discovers porn.

* In the ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' episode "Grace Under Pressure," Rodney McKay is badly injured and hallucinates seeing his long-time crush, Samantha Carter. Even though he's well aware that she's just a figment of his imagination, he works with 'her' to try to help his situation. When 'Samantha' comes up with an idea that gives him much-needed extra time, he jumps up and hugs 'her'. He suddenly turns serious and moves in for an amorous kiss, but 'Samantha' spoils the mood by pointing out, "You do realize what you're doing here, right?" Possibly only a partial example, because the person who caught him was actually his own subconscious. (Rodney was a complicated guy.)

{{quote|'''Rodney''': You are the worst hallucination ever!"}}

* On ''[[Camelot (TV series)|Camelot]]'', Morgan discovers Harwel spying on her in the bath and asks "What were you doing with that hand before you used it to sully my dress?".

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20121224075736/http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/amazon-mothers-day-ad/1400037/ This] ''[[SNL]]'' Amazon Mother's Day ad parody featuring three different mothers and ''[[Literature/Fifty Shades Of Grey|Fifty Shades Of Grey]]'', where Dad and the kids get the bigger surprise when they deliver the gift.

* At the beginning of the "It's Just Sex ..." episode of ''[[Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23]]'', Chloe walks in on June in the bath "playing her lady harp."

 

== [[Music]] ==

{{quote|Well it seems last night you caught me spankin' it // No use denyin' it, I was really crankin' it...}}

* The music video for "[[Stacy's Mom]]" has Stacy catching the narrator stand-in going at it.

 

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==

* Then there's that bit in ''[[Dykes to Watch Out For]]'' where Mo is having cyber sex with her girlfriend in the bookshop she works in. Then all the employees walk in while she's busy. They seem surprised the Martha Stuart fantasy turns her on. Then her employer walks in and everything just gets better for Mo as she realises her fly is still undone.

 

== [[Theatre]] ==

* A mission in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'' is named after this trope. During the mission brief, Yusuf Amir, the mission's boss, is not wearing any pants while partaking in cocaine and a prostitute's services, with his father later walking in on him, showing disappointment in Yusuf's hedonistic lifestyle.

 

* In ''[[Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo]]'', Nanami finds out about Yuuna's feelings for her when she catches Yuuna in this act.

* You can catch ''all'' the love interests this way in ''[[Hitomi]]''. And then you can help them out a little.
