"Bow Chicka Wow Wow" is the sound of a character [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatbox beatboxing]] porno music, based on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fYfdlKIon4 the funk-rock soundtracks]] that many '70s pornos are believed to have had. This is usually done after the character has seen or heard something lewd. Or sometimes simply imagined something lewd. Compare ThatsWhatSheSaid. See also {{Sexophone}}.

'''Black Canary:''' Oh, those. We okayed those to be sold for charity. The profits go to victims of super villains.\\
'''Zatanna:''' Uh-huh. (''magical sparks go from her finger to the toys'')\\
'''Green Arrow Doll:''' Hey, pretty bird. I ain't seen you around the [=Barbie=] aisle before.\\

'''Black Canary Doll:''' Hey yourself, Robin Hood. Is that an arrow in your quiver [[OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe or are you just happy to see me]]?\\
'''Zatanna:''' (''gets punched in the shoulder by Black Canary'') Ow!

* In ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', Master Roshi says this when noticing Goku had a son.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5619147/16/Violence-Inherent-in-the-System Violence Inherent in the System]]'' Hermione dresses up like [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] to co-teach a Defense Against the Dark Arts class and when Harry calls her into their office to "discuss a few things" one of the fourth year Gryffindor boys singsongs "Bow chicka bow wow!"

[[folder:LiveActionTV]]
* Rachel from ''Series/{{Friends}}'' does this in the episode "The One With the Free Porn," apparently unaware of what she's singing. Eventually she asks what it is that's been in her head all day and is told it's the theme to ''[[ParallelPornTitles Good Will Humping]]''.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' - done by the bots when the dialog in a movie suggests a porn film segue.
** Also inverted: they add "sexy dialogue" when the music resembles this. (It was really the music of all low-budget 70s films, at least until the porn association became codified.)
* ''Series/TwoBrokeGirls ... and the Dumpster Sex'' had Max thinking it was "Brown Chicken Brown Cow".
* An episode of ''Series/{{Bones}}'' had Booth explain what Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow Boom-Clicka-Mow-Wow meant to Bones
* Any time the scene style is 'porn' or simply 'filled with LUST!' in ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway''.
** Which of course makes it into the SpiritualSuccessor ''Series/DrewCareysImprovaganza'' in a big way.

* In ''[[VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans2 Destroy All Humans! 2]], both Orthopox and Arkvoodle use the expression, with the latter speaking it in a DullMonotone.
* ''[[VideoGame/GuitarHero Guitar Hero III: The Legends of Rock]]'' includes an unlockable bass guitar called "Boom Chicka Wah Wah".
** And if you listen closely, this tune plays before you play any career encore in the Mitch's Moose Lounge venue (which is a strip club).
* From the [[Funny/VideoGames Crowning Moment of Funny]] page: Approximately a week or so before the ''Wrath of the Lich King'' expansion came out for ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', Thrall, leader of the orcs, disappeared from his chamber for a few hours. The official forums proceeded to speculate on what he was doing and where he was during that time. This led to many responses simply saying "Jaina". But the absolute best was in response to one of these, where the poster simply wrote "Bow-chicka-lok-tar"

* When breeding sheep in ''VideoGame/FarmVille'' your sheeps' sprites in the pen will be replaced with a sign reading "Baa chicka-wow wow!" while they're, um... busy.
* "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" appears on screen as a form of censoring while [[Videogame/AbobosBigAdventure Abobo]] is having his way with Annie the mermaid. Too bad we can't see how he managed to avoid TheMermaidProblem ...

* "Bow-chicka-bow-wow" became a catchphrase of the character Tucker on ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', to the point that even his alien baby said it. (Well, "Blarg-Chicka-Honk-Honk", but close enough.)
** [[TheDitz Caboose]] hilariously attempts to say Tucker's catchphrase. The result?
-->'''Caboose:''' Hey Chicka Bump Bump!\\
'''Tucker:''' Caboose! What did i tell ya about that?!\\

** Jeff Williams, the main music director for Roosterteeth works, including {{WebAnimation/RWBY}}, even made the catchphrase its own song in the Season 9 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8J3_It1gE8 soundtrack.]]

* In one ''Webcomic/BrunoTheBandit'' strip this was the call of the [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/20030210.html Pornmonster]].

[[folder:WebOriginal]]
* In his review of a pair of comics where Franchise/{{Superman}} and [[ComicBook/NewGods Big Barda]] are {{Mind Control}}led into [[RapeAsDrama filming a porno]], [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] threatens violence upon anyone who posts "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" in the comments section.
* Used by Website/{{Cracked}} to describe the [[http://www.cracked.com/article_16133_the-5-historical-figures-who-died-weirdest-deaths.html weird death]] of French president [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Félix_Faure Felix Faure]], who on February the 16th 1899 expired from a heart attack [[OutWithABang while having sex with his mistress in his office.]]
* In Antoine Delak's ''Machinima/GorgeousFreeman'', Dr. Breen's {{Leitmotif}} is "A Happy Ass: Special Delivery" by ''Pornosonic''.
* Lampshaded in Creator/{{Roosterteeth}}'s Rage Quit episode featuring ''Toy Stunt Bike'':
-->'''Michael:''' Fuckin' porno music right here! Bow chicka chicka wow wow, da-na-na-na-na-na, ridin' yo bike, ''over a FUCKING GODDAMN '''BLOCK!!!'''''

** Stewie does this during "Screwed the Pooch," when Brian runs out onto a greyhound track and has sex with Lois' father's prize dog.
** When Brian goes to Hollywood to become a writer and get a gig directing porn: [[ParallelPornTitles he gets a]] Woody for best director. The best score Woody included two lounge lizards and Music/JohnWilliams.
* One OnTheNext spot for ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' was nothing but Joan and Cleo in a catfight with the narrator Bow Chicka Wow Wow-ing over it.

* In season 3, [[EvilMatriarch Malory]] WesternAnimation/{{Archer}} [[SilverFox admires herself]] in the mirror, wearing [[FanDisservice nothing]] but a trenchcoat. She flatters herself with a "You still got it. Bow chicka wow wow."
* In ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', when Bill's career as a competitive eater is over, Dale uses this (in a slight variation) to console him with the fact that he got lucky with his groupie. Yeah, not so much...
** When Hank was being accused of failing to return an adult video to the video store, Boomhauer taunts him with this.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': a main part of the chorus of the song "Gitchee Gitchee Goo", about a man trying to work out if their girlfriend loves him, is "bow chicka wow wow".

* So does Hanyuu in one episode of ''WebVideo/HigurashiParodyFandub'', after the principal said that he and [[{{Expy}} Chie]] will have sex in his office, instead of saving Satoko from her uncle. However, she actually said "[[{{Catchphrase}} Hau]] Chicka [[VerbalTic Hau Hau]]".

* Perhaps taken to a literal extreme with the UsefulNotes/DSiWare game ''Spotto!'', where the titular bird character must rescue a [[IncrediblyLamePun hot chick]] by the name of "Chikkie Wowwow".

* Swedish europop singer Gunther, on the other hand, is undoubtably a parody.

[[folder:{{Advertising}}]]
* There's a commercial for Lynx or Axe cologne that has a girl doing this.
** For a while at least, "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" was their slogan.

See also {{Sexophone}}. Not to be confused with the children's alphabet rhyme [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicka_Chicka_Boom_Boom Chicka Chicka Boom Boom]], nor the song "Gitchee Gitchee Goo" (which [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar does include "bow chicka wow wow"]] in its chorus) from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. And neither is it "Gichie Gichie Yaya Dada" from ''Lady Marmalade'' song. Also not to be confused with the similarly basso register of the song [[Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff "Oh Yeah."]] Nor is it ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang''.[[note]] Well, actually it ''is'', kind of. Originally "chitty bang bang", which was obscene (for the time) UsefulNotes/WorldWarI slang about what soldiers do when they get their leave chits, it eventually became the name of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitty_Bang_Bang several real cars]] which inspired the novel and film. But don't tell the kids that. [[/note]] And it's certainly not [[WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus Shika Shika Ka-Boom]], which has to do with a totally different sort of hotness.

-->'''Caboose:''' Hey Chicka Bump Bump.\\
'''Tucker:''' Boose! What did i tell ya about that?!\\
'''Caboose:''' Sorry!

** [[TheDitz Caboose]] tries unsuccessfully, with "Hey Chicka Bump Bump."

* But there is little doubt about how hard does Swedish europop singer Gunther sucks.
** ''You touch my TRA-LAH-LAH!!! My ding-ding-dong!!!''. HurricaneOfEuphemisms ensues.

* Since 1980s, ''Oh Yeah'' by Yello (of ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' and ''Film/TheSecretOfMySuccess'' fame) might be the song most people would associate with this trope.

* Meghan Patrick has a song by this extact title
