{{quote|''While the wee wife's away, a word on the subject of onanism: in this house, we don't masturbate. It's not a very pleasant thing to do. One hates to imagine [[Think of the Children|young Chloe or Radclyffe]] scampering down the stairs of a Saturday morning, only to find you, [[Unusual Euphemism|double-bent on the sofa, pumping your fist!]]''|'''Harvey Denton''', ''[[The League of Gentlemen]]''}}
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.
Usually [[Played for Laughs]], although it's not impossible to see it [[Played for Drama]]. For when it is not a solo situation, see [[Interrupted Intimacy]].
{{examples}}
Line 17:
* ''F3: Frantic, Frustrated & Female'' opens with this trope, as a girl unable to climax has her big sister walk in on her. {{spoiler|The sister, after exhausting herself trying to "help", hypnotizes the girl into orgasming -- but a badly worded command makes it only happen whenever her sister touches her, and instantly happen then. Cue several random touchings of the shoulder, slaps on the back, etc.}} The manga goes for 3 more books after this, the whole thing never gets resolved.
* Happens in ''[[Code Geass]]'' (the infamous [[Cargo Ship|'Table-kun']] incident). Fortunately for Nina, Nunally couldn't see what was happening and is too innocent to realize what was going on. Probably. Hopefully.
* An implied near-miss happens to Maho Nitori in ''[[Wandering Son]].'' She and her brother Shuuichi sleep in bunk beds and at the end of chapter 39 when Shuuichi is woken up by creaking sounds and looks to see a panicked Maho out of bed asking if he'd heard. As she leaves the room, her pajama bottoms have a dark stain. The situation implies either this trope, an aversion of [[No Periods, Period]], or, what the heck, both.
** From the looks of it, it was probably a period stain; she also mutters something about whether had mom had "any", implying tampons or pads. Though she did act a bit too suspicious and embarrassed.
* ''[[My Balls]]''. Subverted when {{spoiler|Elyse puts Kohta under a sort of "hypnosis" so she can take advantage of him without his knowledge. He snaps out of it several times with her in ... compromising positions.}}
* In the manga of ''[[Bokurano]]'', it's implied that Dung Beetle catches Anko like this at one point. She's none too happy about it. {{spoiler|In a subversion, he caught her daydreaming and dancing when she's home alone, not masturbating.}}
** {{spoiler|Mako "Nakama" Nakarai}} invokes the trope before fighting. {{spoiler|The [[Alpha Bitch]] who bullies Mako is having sex with a guy (presumably her boyfriend) inside a hotel room within the fight area, and she asks Koyemshi to rescue the couple before any of them get a chance to get dressed so they end up naked first in the cockpit, where all the pilot children are. After Mako gives the [[Alpha Bitch]] a slap and a [[What the Hell, Hero?]], they're sent inside a van on which the girl's mother is leaving the battle area. Given that the fight had not even started, is pretty much given that [[Genre Savvy|Mako did it on purpose]], to teach the [[Alpha Bitch]] a lesson about caring for other people: it ultimately works, as Mako's arc ends with said [[Alpha Bitch]] acting more humbly as she helps clean up the classroom.}}
Line 60:
*** Also in the beginning when Jim's parents walk into his dorm room while he's having sex with a girl, before her parents show up.
** The third movie has Jim and Stifler getting caught what looks like bestiality, Stifler having sex with Jim's grandmother, and Michelle under the table while Jim's dad interrupts.
** And in ''The Naked Mile''
* ''[[Serial Mom]]''
* In ''[[Tommy Boy]]'', Chris Farley catches David Spade masturbating over a woman skinny-dipping in a hotel pool and mocks him for it.
Line 85:
* In ''[[Beavis and Butthead|Beavis and Butt-head Do America]]'', Beavis (in his Cornholio persona) sees Mr. Anderson's camper, pulls out a picture of the woman he was sent to "do" and then goes into the camper. Later, Mr. Anderson is curious to find out why his camper is rocking, and investigates. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* In ''[[Splice]]'', {{spoiler|Elsa walks in on her boyfriend Clive having sex with [[Half-Human Hybrid|Dren]], and is appropriately [[Squick|squicked]] 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.
* In ''[[Black Swan]]'', while Nina is [[Unusual Euphemism|doing her homework]], she rolls over and realizes that her mother is in the room with her. Only a partial example, because her mother was asleep.
* In the film ''[[The Last Supper]]'', the female character Paulie is caught masturbating while fully clothed and it doesn't really faze 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]].
== [[Folk Lore]] ==
* [http://www.snopes.com/ Snopes] has a number of urban legends about this trope:
** A girl who accidentally impaled herself on a broom after being caught in a compromising position with it. ([http://www.snopes.com/college/risque/broom.asp link])
*** The stereotype of witches riding broomsticks has a similar origin.
Line 226:
** The episode where the band discusses "s*cking their own c*cks". It's time to take off for a show, Charles goes to gather the boys, only to find each in their room in a compromising position.
* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' has The Monarch watching Dr. Girlfriend seducing Dr. Venture on a video monitor. He starts rubbing his chest, his hand drifts downward...and stops abruptly when a henchman passes through.
* The pilot to ''[[Archer]]'' has Archer walking in on his mom having a "private phone call" with {{spoiler|the head of the KGB}}.
{{quote|'''Malory''': And take a shower. God, you smell like a whorehouse.
'''Archer''': Yes, your own fingers.
