* In ''Film/TheLastSupper'', the female character Paulie is caught masturbating while fully clothed and it doesn't really faze her.

* In ''Film/{{Baghead}}'', Matt is relieving some tension with the help of a shampoo bottle when Chad and Catherine jump him with bag masks, only to realize afterwards what they caught him in the midst of it.

* In ''Film/TheBlueLagoon'', there's a scene where Richard, seen from behind, is clearly masturbating. Emmeline asks him "What are you doing?" and he guiltily says "Nothing!" OrSoIHeard.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E20TheShell The Shell]]", Gumball accidentally walks in on [[AnthropomorphicFood Banana Joe]] watching a video of a peeled orange being pulled apart. Considering that he treats taking his peel off like getting naked and has a box of tissues next to him... [[{{Demographically Inappropriate Humour}} you get the idea.]]
* An entire episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' is dedicated to masturbation. Stan reveals he has never masturbated before in his life and rather has repressed his urges through other, more 'wholesome' activities. In an attempt to instill this mentality in Steve, he tries to teach him woodcraft. Stan directs Steve to plunge a hot poker into a piece of wood that is held directly over Stan's lap, resulting in obvious (and painful) injury. The doctor gives him a special cream which he mistakenly thinks he must rub over the 'affected area' each day, essentially masturbating with lubricant. Stan soon becomes addicted to it and attempts to masturbate at any chance he can get. He is eventually caught by Steve while the latter was cleaning the gutters, causing him to fall off the ladder and break his arm. And they manage to not once in the entire episode ever use the words "Masturbation" or "Masturbate".
* The pilot to ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' has Archer walking in on his mom having a "private phone call" with [[spoiler: the head of the KGB]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'': Being the chronic masturbator that he is, this happens to [[ButtMonkey Andrew]] a few times over the series. The worst time was when he was caught masturbating while [[spoiler:in the same room as his dead grandfather, [[CrossingTheLineTwice right before the funeral]]]]!
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': In "Screwed the Pooch", Peter and Lois try to enter the bathroom to fix the sink, but to their utter shock, they find Brian on the toilet with a porno magazine.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' has these occasionally, generally involving the 14-year-old Morty. In one flashback, his 17-year-old sister Summer walks in on him. Although the context isn't necessary to understand the scene, it is worth mentioning that the flashback is shown in an episode where [[spoiler: psychic alien parasites are altering people's memories to trick potential hosts into trusting them, sometimes convincing a person they've known the parasite for decades. The heroes eventually realize the parasites can only create ''good'' memories, providing the protagonists with a way to figure out who's real and who's fake.]]
-->'''Summer:''' Oh my god!\\

'''Summer:''' ''[inarticulate scream]''
** Used bizarrely in the Season 3 Opening Credits, where Morty is shown ([[TomatoSurprise from behind]]) to be watching a video on a [=PornHub=]-colored site which features a woman pulling down underwear to reveal faces on each buttcheek. Cue Beth walking in, and he immediately slams the laptop closed and pretends to be asleep (and we can now see that he and Beth both have butts on their faces). Clearly, this is some alternate Morty's version of this trope.

** In an episode, after Bart had walked in on his parents having sex, Milhouse assures him that it's better to walk in on both your parents rather than just one.
** "Like Father, Like Clown" parodies this with a flashback where Hyman Krustofski catches his son playing with a seltzer bottle in the bathroom, which is a parody of a scene in the play Brighton Beach Memoirs where this trope is played straight.

** In "Over Logging", Randy has gone for weeks without masturbating to internet porn, eventually near the end he sneaks into the camp's computer room, looks at a bunch of perverted things, and eventually ejaculates all over the room, everyone comes in thinking he was grunting in pain and with his pants down, he tells them that he was doing that because "a ghost was attacking him and left his ectoplasm everywhere".
** This was played for drama in an earlier episode when Butters caught his father masturbating in a gay bathhouse while he was ''completely naked''. Butters didn't quite understand what was going on, but his father was mortified and ashamed.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': Even [=SpongeBob=] gets caught once in a while. The beginning of "Your Shoe's Untied" shows him relaxing in his easy chair, intensely watching a live-action anemone on TV. The anemone is gyrating to go-go music. [=SpongeBob=] leans forward, wide-eyed and smiling broadly... then his pet snail Gary slithers in.
-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' ''[switching the channel]'' I...I was just looking for the sports channel, Gary!
* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' 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.

* It happens multiple times in ''WebAnimation/TheMarkSide'' in both the comics and show. All of which have been instances involving Mark.

* A mission in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony'' 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 the flash toon ''[=Nin10Doh to the 64th Power=]'', [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] is caught with his pants down while he's watching porn of [[VideoGame/{{Starfox}} Krystal]] on Tails' computer.

-->'''Lois:''' Was... Was he just mastur...?
-->'''Peter:''' Yes.
-->'''Lois:''' Oh my...
-->'''Peter:''' Do we... Do we rub his nose in it?

* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Matsuri walks into Reo's room when she's barely-dressed and greatly enjoying running a fan over her bare crotch. Humorously, Matsuri doesn't react to her being scantily-clad (until her breasts pop out of his shirt), and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Reo]] is only embarrassed because he saw [[GeniusSlob her room was such a mess]].

* In the flash toon ''[=Nin10Doh to the 64th Power=]'', [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] is caught with his pants down while he's watching porn of [[VideoGame/{{Starfox}} Krystal]] on Tails' computer.

* In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', Delores walks into Eddie's apartment and found Eddie's pants around his ankles and Jessica Rabbit holding hands with him. It's obviously NotWhatItLooksLike.
* ''Film/TheWomanInRed'': Mentioned on the original poster.

* It happens multiple times in ''WebOriginal/TheMarkSide'' in both the comics and show. All of which have been instances involving Mark.

* ''Series/{{Dickinson}}'': Austin is caught masturbating by his mother (unbeknownst to him, as his eyes are closed). She looks shocked and beats a hasty retreat.
