* [[https://youtu.be/IsFfBB2W7IA&feature=related This]] quote from the short film ''The Flying Car'' (starring Dante and Randal of ''Series/{{Clerks}}''):

* The [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tracks_(G1) page for Tracks]] on the Wiki/TFWikiDotNet repeatedly lampshades how AmbiguouslyGay the character is, with loads of DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything. It finishes with:
-->"Seriously though he's not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that! But seriously he's not gay."

* Wrestling/JohnCena [[ThatCameOutWrong twisted around words]] spoken by Wrestling/RandyOrton during a backstage segment at Backlash in 2007. According to Cena, Orton called him handsome, said he wouldn't take it lying down, and wanted the two of them to get together later in the evening. Cena would proceed to point out that there's nothing wrong with that, but he's not that way though.

* ComicBook/MsMarvel2014: Ms. Marvel must tell a fellow classmate that a super villain is about to out her being gay to everyone as well as Ms. Marvel’s secret identity. As Ms. Marvel was not specific enough about her secret this leads her classmate to ask her if she’s gay to. Ms. Marvel then responds defensively and quotes this trope before saying that she’s becoming “that guy”.

* During a mixed tag team match on Raw involving Wrestling/{{Carlito|Colon}}, Wrestling/TrishStratus, Wrestling/{{Lita}} and Wrestling/{{Edge}}, who were still [[XPacHeat very sore]] on the latter two for some [[YourCheatingHeart off set hijinks]], broke into a chant of "Edge Is Gay!". Wrestling/JimRoss commented "I think Lita would disagree with that."

** The first time a politician at state or national level came out as homosexual in Germany was when there were rumors that a newspaper would report that one of the contestants for the office of Governor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, was gay. Instead he called a press conference and made the announcement himself, famously saying "I am gay, and that's perfectly fine". Nobody really cared and he ended up winning the election and was reelected for a second term. Since then, many public figures outside of the show business have come out with it rarely causing any controversy.

* ''Series/SpittingImage'' sent up the Jason Donovan libel action (he sued a gay lifestyle magazine that mistakenly outed him as gay and won libel damages) with a parody of Music/TomRobinson's ''Glad to Be Gay'' in which Donavan, and a fey TV presenter in the same situation, vehemently (and unconvincingly) deny their gayness in an unconvincing "not of course that there's anything wrong with that" sort of way. Jason and his very best buddy Philip Schofield deny they're more than just good friends [[https://youtu.be/P9zHqx-Hoz8&index=68&list=LLS907d2g_vnEnQI7ZlTJqQA here]]. (Nearly thirty years later, Schofield came out.)

** The phone call between Cordelia and Willow regarding Harmony's odd behaviour probably counts:

** A demon misunderstands and thinks the "Fred" Gunn loves is a guy. He doesn't judge, though.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' has another MistakenForGay scene involving Willow.

** The phone call between Cordelia and [[BiTheWay Willow]] regarding Harmony's odd behaviour probably counts:

* In the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' series, Spider-Man is occasionally accused of being a mutant, to which he always responds, "I'm not a mutant!... Not that there's anything wrong with that."
** Taken up to eleven during an arc in which Spider-Man is accidentally kidnapped with the X-Men for a mutant death show. Spider-Man keeps protesting that he's not a mutant, not that there's anything wrong with that. Finally, Professor X himself tells Spider-Man to ''shut the hell up'', because he's being grossly offensive.

* ''Series/SpittingImage'' sent up the Jason Donovan libel action (he sued a gay lifestyle magazine that mistakenly outed him as gay and won libel damages) with a parody of Music/TomRobinson's ''Glad to Be Gay'' in which Donavan, and a fey TV presenter in the same situation, vehemently (and unconvincingly) deny their gayness in an unconvincing "not of course that there's anything wrong with that" sort of way. Jason and his very best buddy Philip Schofield deny they're more than just good friends [[https://youtu.be/P9zHqx-Hoz8&index=68&list=LLS907d2g_vnEnQI7ZlTJqQA here]].

** It's made clear that Nicky isn't saying that because he has anything against gays, however: [[TransparentCloset He's just trying to subtly hint that he thinks it's unhealthy for Rod to stay in the closet]].

* The TropeNamer is the ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' episode "The Outing", where Jerry and George are MistakenForGay, and every time either one of them denies this accusation, they hastily add "Not that there's anything ''wrong'' with that!" afterwards. The origin of the quote came about because during the writing of the episode, the writers were afraid the script was coming across as homophobic, which was entirely the wrong impression that they wanted to give. Then in a completely unrelated conversation, somebody used the phrase "Not that there's anything wrong with that," and Creator/LarryDavid realized that was what the episode needed to work.

-->'''Joey''': If the homo sapiens were in fact ''homo'' sapiens...is that why they're extinct?

* A ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' episode also involved Miranda getting set up on a blind date with an actual lesbian woman named Sydney. Although she naturally had to turn her down and explain the situation, they ended up friends. Later in the episode Miranda pretended they were together to get her boss's notice. And ends up kissing the blind date in the elevator to check if she herself might be gay without knowing. Interestingly enough, the actress who plays Miranda is now, after being with men all her life and having two children, engaged to a woman.
* On ''Series/ThirtyRock'', Jack set Liz up with "Thomas", a friend of his. Turned out to be a lesbian named Gretchen Thomas. Liz was upset with Jack for assuming she was gay, but hit it off with Gretchen; Liz proposed that if they were both still single in 25 years they could get together, insisting that she's still not gay but "you could do stuff to me."
** Given that just about every lesbian alive has had a massive crush on Stephanie March, who played Thomas, since she swaggered onto the ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' set, it was the greatest moment in American television history. For lesbians.

* Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, who made an announcement that they weren't gay, but could understand why people would think they were, as the English language didn't have a word for [[HeterosexualLifePartners that kind of bond between women]]. Mercilessly mocked by [[Series/TheColbertReport Stephen Colbert]], who hoped that it would inspire more not-gay people to make announcements like this. Hannity and Colmes still haven't.
** Oprah has also said that if Gayle King ''were'' her lover, she would never hide it.

* In ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'' it's a bit of a RunningGag that any woman that Shima hits on actually turns out to be male [[note]]Specifically, one is a male alien driving a female MobileSuitHuman, and the other is a male shapeshifted into a woman as part of a disguise [[/note]]. Whenever this comes up, the other characters are quick to note that the issue isn't that he's hitting on men, it's that he isn't aware that they ''are'' men.

* In a ''Webcomic/DorkTower'' strip in May 2018, Gilly's roommate Estella tries to convince her to go gaming with her by saying she could meet a nice guy. Gilly says that for all 'Stell knows she might be interested in a nice girl and then off her seemingly-shocked reaction, says she's straight, but there's nothing wrong with the alternative. 'Stell agrees, [[IncompatableOrientation and then gets a broken heart symbol above her head]].

* ComicBook/MsMarvel2014: Ms. Marvel must tell a fellow classmate that a super villain is about to out her being gay to everyone as well as Ms. Marvel’s secret identity. As Ms. Marvel was not specific enough about her secret this leads her classmate to ask her if she’s gay to. Ms. Marvel then responds pffensively and quotes this trope before saying that she’s becoming “that guy”.

* [[http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/06/hispanic-jeb-vs-identity-politics.html This article]] reports that ''In a 2009 voter-registration application, obtained from the Miami-Dade County Elections Department, Mr. (Jeb) Bush marked Hispanic in the field labeled 'race/ethnicity.'' Then argues that the Republican base is vehemently opposed to “amnesty” for Hispanics, and “Bush can now be portrayed as someone who has [[GoingNative "gone native"]] with the amnesty gang, and is no longer [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant "one of us."]]

** Zarbon, after being MistakenForGay by Vegeta, mistakes Vegeta for gay and says this word-for-word.

** Roy also has his own one of these moments when he's talking to Pam after his outburst towards Jim. "I just thought you guys were really good friends, or...maybe he was gay or something. [remembers that he is on camera] Not that that's wrong."

-->'''Ross''': Joey, homo sapiens are people!

--->'''She-Demon:''' He-mortals! And the occasional she-mortal too, not that there's anything wrong with that! In fact it's rather hot!

* [[Wrestling/SethRollins Tyler Black]] got chants of "You Are Gay!" from the AIW fans, which were first ignored until Johnny Gargano answered "He ''is'' pretty gay, isn't he?" but changed the subject, as his problems with Black had nothing to do with his supposed sexual orientation.

** Oprah has also said that if Gayle King ''were'' her lover, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she would never hide it]].
