History Main / TheTalk

* In ''TheBeauticianAndTheBeast'', sheltered princess Katrina really wants sex. When Joy, her American tutor, asks what she means by that, the princess offers "holding hands, eating ice cream" (aka dating). Joy describes this as the 'before-and-after' (and presumably goes on to give her a better education).

Occasionally, it's ''not'' played for laughs. [[DoubleStandard This seems to be especially true when the child or teenager on the receiving end is a girl]]. She may be advised that [[NatureAdoresAVirgin her virginity is something that makes her valuable]], and that [[DefiledForever losing it makes her lose that value... which she can never get back]]. She may be told that [[AllMenArePerverts "boys only want one thing"]] (without too many specifics on what that "one thing" is). [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland She may even be taught that sex is bad and that she should see it as something she endures for her husband]], rather than a good thing that ''both'' partners can (and should) expect to enjoy.

Compare SexualEuphemism. No relation to the all-female TalkShow of same name -- for that, see [[Series/TheTalk here]].

* A variation in ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'', when King Paithos has to explain to his nephew Amiti not the facts of life, but rather, exactly why the latter [[HeroicBastard doesn't have a father]]. In front of our heroes.

* The young teenager Abby of ''Webcomic/DangerouslyChloe'' is just starting to notice boys, and her parents aren't around, so Chloe and Pandora resolve to give her The Talk. Which might be good if they weren't both [[HornyDevils succubi]]. Fortunately, they're not excessively evil as sex demons go, but unfortunately, they don't understand mortals very well either. Fortunately, Abby may be just cynical enough about them to survive the experience without permanent mental damage. Unfortunately, she was a little too naive...

** There's a hilarious one quite simply called ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5933215/1/The_Talk The Talk]]'' where because of his orphan status, various parental figures in Harry's life decide to give him The Talk. Independently. He ends up going through it ''six times''.

** In the comic [[https://www.deviantart.com/svenly/art/Hogwarts-Sex-Ed-64050259 "Hogwarts Sex-Ed"]], the Heads of Houses teach their students about sex. Sprout uses a puppet show, Flitwick uses a scientific diagram (not shown), [=McGonagall=] debunks myths about sex like babies coming from the Great Hippogriff, and Snape just shows his students a pornographic video.

** In Fanfic/NewBloodArtemisgirl the students of Hogwarts are given this in their third year, with [=McGonagall=], Sprout and Pomfrey handling the girls, while [[HalfHumanHybrid Flitwick]] and ''Severus Snape'' handle the boys' side. Said boys do as expected when faced with the opportunity to make Snape answer embarrassing questions. Apparently, the magical STDs one can catch involve rotting genitals should one have sex with a dead body, this includes the undead.

* In the''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12941958/1/Explaining-Things-to-Non-Humans Explaining Things to Non-Humans]]'', Jason Todd finds himself having to explain human reproduction to M'Gann (who hatched from an egg), Donna (who was sculpted from clay), and Garth (who actually ''knows'' what sex is, but came asking Jason what porn is).

* A [[[[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Z1QGpTZSo sketch]] from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's show ''Series/NotOnlyButAlso'' has an upper-class British gent (Peter) trying to explain the facts of life with his naive 17-year-old (going on 18) son (Dudley), who doesn't want to believe the "filthy things they say at school". After much stalling ("In order for you to be brought about... it was necessary for your mother and I... to do something.") he makes wild claims that his son's conception was through his mother sitting in the same chair that he had been in and "was still warm... from my body". It's not quite clear whether he genuinely believes this or was planning to give a real Talk only to chicken out. The conversation eventually escalates into them discussing Uncle Bertie ("Dirty Uncle Bertie they call him at school." "And they're right, Roger! Uncle Bertie is a dirty, ''dirty'' man").

-->'''Doctor:''' Well, you're in for a surprise. Buckle up! Today you learn how babies are made!

* One ''Series/NotOnlyButAlso'' sketch involves a father (Pete) trying to deliver this to his school age son (Dud). It quickly become apparent (to the audience) that the father has no idea how sex works either and cannot be the boy's biological parent.

* A sketch from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's show ''Series/NotOnlyButAlso'' has an upper-class British gent trying to explain the facts of life with his naive 18 year old son, who doesn't want to believe the "filthy things they say at school". After much stalling ("In order for you to be brought about... it was necessary for your mother and I... to do something.") he makes wild claims that his son's conception was through his mother sitting in the same chair that he had been in and "was still warm... from my body". The conversation eventually escalates into them discussing Uncle Bertie ("Dirty Uncle Bertie they call him at school." "And they're right, Roger! Uncle Bertie is a dirty, ''dirty'' man"). [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Z1QGpTZSo The sketch can be viewed here]].

* [=McDonald's=] are obviously fond of this trope - they also had an ad in the UK where a man finally succeeds in deflecting his daughter's questions about where babies come from by suggesting a trip to [=McDonald's=].

* The TagTeam of Wrestling/SoloDarling and Wrestling/WillowNightingale is called The Bird and The Bee. Their FinishingMove is called The Talk.

** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', [[TheSmartGuy Mordin]] gives Shepard a talk, which varies depending on who he/she is romancing. They're all mostly about how to do it safely with [[PowerPerversionPotential biotics]] or [[InterspeciesRomance other species]], which mixed with Mordin's SesquipedalianLoquaciousness and MotorMouth tendencies are all pretty funny to listen to. If you're romancing a [[MindOverMatter biotic]] he'll give you a book detailing [[PowerPerversionPotential "create use of mass effect fields"]] (if you're biotic this is even funnier). He actually gives useful info as well, not just comic relief. For example, romancing Garrus causes a warning that ingesting turian... fluids... will probably result in a possibly fatal allergic reaction due to it being made of dextro-amino acids, while romancing Tali has a warning about being careful because, coupled with incompatible amino acids, along with the IllGirl that defines all quarians, having a passionate night could potentially ''kill'' her. If you're romancing Thane, he'll warn you that oral contact with his skin can cause hallucinations.

* A one-liner from Creator/RodneyDangerfield: "What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife."

* {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'', when Lola Granola's mother tries to give her The Talk... on her wedding day, when she's already an adult. Lola responds that she's known all this stuff for years, making her mother go catatonic.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3951749/32/Harry-Potter-and-the-Quantum-Leap Harry Potter and the Quantum Leap]]'' Hermione's father tries to give twelve-year-old Harry the talk. Since Harry is actually a time-traveling adult, this turns into ''him'' telling ''Dan Granger'' a thing or two fairly quickly.

* In ''Film/TheParentTrap1961'', the father decides to have the Talk with Sharon (disguised as Susan) on a golf course, assuming that's why she's wanting to know about her mother all of a sudden. After a few minutes of awkward explanation, Sharon tells him she's known about ''that'' for ages.

* In ''Film/MemoirsOfAGeisha'', Mameha tries to teach Sayuri about how a man's "eel" likes to visit a woman's "cave", to which Sayuri says "Yes, I know." When Mameha expresses surprise that a virgin geisha would know about such things, Sayuri just says "I live with Hatsumomo!"

* Tony's dad tries to give him a talk in ''Literature/ThenAgainMaybeIWont'' by Creator/JudyBlume, saying he doesn't really know how to go about it, as he never brought the matter up with his two older son. Tony assures him that he's learned all about it from school and friends, but his dad gives him a book later, just in case.
* In one of Creator/DaveBarry's columns, he described how as a young man, he worked at a camp for underprivileged children, where he defines "underprivileged" to mean "knew a lot more about sex than I did".
-->"I would talk to them and give helpful, adult advice such as 'Wow!' and 'Really?' There are times I would have given my eye teeth to be an underprivileged child."
* In ''Literature/TheMirror'', Shay gets two different "night before the wedding" versions, one from her own mother in 1976 (Rachel's version is that if Shay's pregnant, there are options other than marriage), the other from her great-grandmother in 1900 (Sophie thinks she's talking to her daughter Brandy, who will eventually be Rachel's mother, not knowing about a FreakyFridayFlip caused by the titular family heirloom) which is a LOT more awkward, since Sophie's seriously flustered by even having to refer to such matters. Sophie's version amounts to LieBackAndThinkOfEngland. Rachel also tells Shay (and we see the conversation between Brandy/Shay and Rachel later on) that her own "night before the wedding" talk was a rather detailed explanation of "the birds and the bees".

* ''Series/ICarly'': Spencer tells Carly they need to talk, Carly stars with "Yeah, I know, when a mom and a dad..." Spencer cuts her off with a "No! Not that!"
* In ''Series/SamAndCat'', Dice asks Sam to help him with a problem, she asks how old he is and then starts with "You know Dice, it's completely normal for a boy your age to experience some things changing...", Dice interrupts her saying that's ''not'' what he wanted to talk about
* Marion's talk with Joanie on ''Series/HappyDays''.

* In the ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' episode "Tests and Breasts", Sam receives one of these from Coach Fredricks, after [[spoiler:he watches a porno with Neil and Bill and submits some alarming anonymous questions on his telltale Star Trek notebook paper]].

* In one ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' episode, Alex is going on a date, and her father, Jerry, awkwardly begins the talk, but when Alex states that her friends, and their friends, will all be there, Jerry stops, relieved, and Alex remains oblivious to what he was talking about in the first place.
* On ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'', Tobias ''thinks'' George Michael is asking him to give the talk. Actually, George Michael is [[KissingCousins trying to figure out whether Maeby is adopted]].
* On ''Series/Sense8'' Kala's aunt offers to give her the talk about "things that happen on a girl's wedding night". Kala is in her late twenties and reassures her aunt that she [[TheInternetIsForPorn has the internet]], and already knows.
* In a FlashForward in the series finale of ''Series/MadAboutYou'', Paul and Jamie are seen finishing up The Talk with their daughter Mabel, who dismissively tells them, "I'm on the Pill".

* {{Parodied|Trope}} in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veq4Oc8S7-I this]] ''Website/CollegeHumor'' sketch about "second puberty", which discusses the pitfalls of the ''aging'' process in a fashion like those films you may have been shown in health class (or by your parents) about ''actual'' puberty.

* Send up in the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "WesternAnimation/WalkyTalkyHawky" (the first Foghorn Leghorn cartoon). Henery Hawk's father is ready to give him the talk, only it's not about sex but about [[CarnivoreConfusion wanting to eat chickens]]. Before dad begins, Henery asks him, "Okay, Pop. Whatcha wanna know?"
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}'' cartoon "Teachers Are People", Goofy eavesdrops on some of his students talking outside his classroom during recess. He immediately goes over to the diagram he has set up of birds, bees, and flowers, rips it down, and throws it in the trash.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' had an episode where Cleveland tries to give the Talk to his son Junior. When he asks his son if he knows where babies come from, Junior first starts off saying that it comes from a "special hug", then suddenly launches into an ''extremely'' explicit detailed description that gets bleeped out, and ends with "--but thats only if you have one of those special swings", then giggles and walks off. Cleveland can only solemny respond "I need to live more..."
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', when Jimmy tells his parents that he wants a little brother, his dad tries to tell him that baby making is very complicated, to which Jimmy responds, "it's not complicated, really." He then proceeds to explain it while his dad covers his ears. This eventually becomes uncomfortable enough for him to excuse himself from the table.

* In the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' story ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16458608 Adjustments]]'', Roxas mentions a couple of times that he and Xion were given the Talk by "the only qualified adult in the tower." This turns out to be [[spoiler:''Goofy'', which makes perfect sense given that [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop he's raised]] [[WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie a teenager before]].]]

* ''Series/DifferentStrokes''. Mr. Drummond needs to give a version of this to Arnold after the kids come home from a camping trip and catch him and his girlfriend together. As it turns out, he's already given him the "Where babies come from" talk, but as he tries to explain that adults sometimes need to spend private time together, Arnold interrupts to ask, "You mean getting it on", thus revealing that he's fully aware of what grown-ups do, he's just thrown for a loop because he never thought of his father like that.

* ''WebComic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'': {{Inverted}} in [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/a-talk "A Talk"]], where the sex talk is about the kid telling the mother she should start having more sex again and communicating better with her mate even though having a child has driven them the other way. Then the mother doesn't even remember how sex works any more and has to be explained that too. (The votey panel reveals that the father ''also'' needs it explained to him.)

* ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'': When Penumbra asks Wonderella to take over teaching her class at the WizardingSchool for a day, the teenage students [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/07/21/lack-magic-woman/ ask her about dating and barhopping instead]]. These are Wonderella's [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl favorite]] [[ReallyGetsAround subjects]].
-->'''Wonderella:''' Four inches above the knee is the optimal skirt length for [[FavorsForTheSexy scoring free drinks]]...

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** {{Parodied|Trope}} in a short aptly titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqniSO8kxFo "How Are Gems Made?"]]. Amethyst starts off acting like it'll be this trope, but quickly drops the façade, since Gems are HumanoidAliens who don't reproduce sexually.
---> '''Amethyst''': Well, when a mommy Gem and a daddy Gem love each other very much, PSYCHE!
** In "Log Date 7 15 2", Peridot asks Steven about the two characters making out in the video they are watching ([[HumansThroughAlienEyes Peridot thought they were]] [[FusionDance trying to fuse together--literally]]). Steven awkwardly tries to pass on what his dad told him, but Peridot had already lost interest.
--->'''Steven''': My dad told me that in certain stages in your life...
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Storks}}'': Despite being set in a universe where [[DeliveryStork Delivery Storks]] exist, it's still an awkward question when Nate asks his parents where they got him. This is because the storks stopped delivering babies 18 years ago so he was made the old-fashioned way, which makes his parents dance around the question.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', Mr. Cat tells [[TheDitz Stumpy]] that babies are made [[BlatantLies by not breathing for two days.]] Kaeloo attempts to give Stumpy the Talk, but he interrupts her and tries holding his nose to stop breathing.
* On ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', Heffer was (quite literally) RaisedByWolves. As such, a RiteOfPassage he is expected to go through is to bring home an elk for dinner, even though he's not a wolf. When his father attempts to explain this, Heffer attempts to cut him off, explaining that he already knows about "the birds and the bees." Annoyed, George asks his wife Virginia to step in and explain. (It probably didn't help that George opened up the conversation about this RiteOfPassage in the same way one would open up a conversation about puberty.)
* In the ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' episode "Total Eclipsa of the Moon", after Moon learns that Eclipsa's daughter inherited a tail from her father, she asks, "But how is that possible?" Eclipsa starts to reply, "Well, when a queen and a monster love each other very much..." before being cut off by Moon.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DrZitbagsTransylvaniaPetShop'' episode "Son of Zitbag", Dr. Sidney Zitbag turns out to not know where babies come from in spite of being a grown man (he apparently played hooky the day they went over the subject in mad scientist college). He consults Zombunny and his wife Mrs. Zombunny on where babies come from, who do nothing but stand there while they continue producing more children out of the blue.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tigtone}}'' has a hilarious and completely out of nowhere reversal in the episode "Tigtone and the Beautiful War."
-->'''Helpy''': Tigtone, where does death come from?\\
'''Tigtone''': Well Helpy, When two creatures hate each other very much...
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Bots and the Bees" reveals that Bender never had this talk, leaving him utterly confused when [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots a drink dispenser he slept with has his kid]].
* On ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKCEypKJDqA Where Did I Come From?]]" [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this. Sid asks this question of his parents, which would lead the viewer to expect this. Instead, they tell him to ''walk through a wall'' of his home. When he does, he meets the real-life staff of the show who created him.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Wondermark}}'', a father tree gives his embarrassed son a talk about pollination. (Or "bee-pokin,'" as you kids would call it.) The strip's even ''titled'' "[[http://wondermark.com/d/426.html In which a Tree gets the Talk]]".
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Susan, a teenage girl who's [[GenderBender currently a boy]] to make things even more awkward, [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-10-12 has to give The Talk to]] InnocentFanserviceGirl Grace who already knew about sex but doesn't understand [[NoSocialSkills why everyone else was so hung up about nudity]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Walkyverse}}'':
** The webcomic ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'' plays this straught with the series of strips starting [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/20001109.html here.]] The storyline is even called "The Talk", and has Sal and Jason (the figurative "parents") reluctant and Joyce disgusted. On the other hand, this is probably the first time "The Talk" has been given to a mind-wipe victim with a repression complex who was about the same age as said figurative parents. This is one is sort of hard to categorise.
** From the same 'Verse, the ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' storyline "Daddy Issues" has Ethan and Leslie trying to give The Talk to their ''boss'', who doesn't even ''[[http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-13/01-daddy-issues/hairstyle/ recognise genders]]''. (Yes, he has a daughter. Presumably, that will be explained in due course.)
--->'''Leslie:''' C'mon, us ''gay kids'' should go teach a ''daddy'' how to procreate!\\
'''Ethan:''' Well, when you put it ''that'' way, this sounds ridiculous.
* As ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'' demonstrated in one strip, do ''not'' attempt this with a magic mirror. The results may be [[http://www.rhjunior.com/tales-of-the-questor-0530/ traumatizing]] for a child.
* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'':
** Tycho got a [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/01/17/ particularly painful subversion]] of The Talk.
** Gabe's talk [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/01/18/ was slightly less scarring]].
** [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2014/07/21/the-talk-by-mike-krahulik A 2014 arc]] has the Talk given by various guest artists.
* ''Backward Compatible'' has a [[http://www.crispygamer.com/comics/backward/backward-2009-04-29.aspx different kind of talk]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Punintended}}'' has one of the best versions of the talk in their comic [[http://punintended.thecomicseries.com/comics/9 Where Do Babies Come From]]. In this comic a biologist, a chemist and an astronomer all use their scientific field of expertise to tell their kids about the birds and the bees. Quite cute and extremely fantastic.

* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'':
** Subverted (naturally) where the worldly Mr. Sanderson winds up giving The Talk to Davan's not-quite-son Rory. Rory, who remembers his mother saying Davan might have been his actual father, is only too quick to [[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/afterbirth-afterthought/ put two and two together]]. Although [[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/information-retention/ he was still a bit confused about the details]].
-->'''Rory:''' ''Davan put his penis in my mommy?!''
** A later storyline had Donna worried she needed to have another Talk with Rory when she thought he was looking at porn on her computer. He was, but it was weird not-exactly sexual porn that a friend had sent him and he didn't understand it. [[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/different-tastes/ That didn't stop it being an awkward conversation]].
* {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''Webcomic/TalesFromThePit''.
-->'''Mark:''' You're eight, Adam. That means it's time for me to tell you about the birds and the bees. [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering Birds are a good choice for small white and blue fliers. Bees, on the other hand, are used to falsely justify direct damage in green]].\\
'''Adam:''' Why is Mommy sadly shaking her head?

* ''Webcomic/FurryExperience'': Cat never actually had one, [[http://furryexperience.smackjeeves.com/comics/952423/page-84/ her dad bailed on her]], and her mom's explanation left her thinking [[http://furryexperience.smackjeeves.com/comics/958941/page-85/ kissing would get her pregnant]]. Ronnie takes it upon herself to educate the poor girl.
* In ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'''s sequel ''Webcomic/AkichansLife'', [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] has to give one to [[spoiler:his 4-year-old daughter Aki]]. Due to him watering down the explanation, they come up with some [[http://www.jimmys-desktop.de/aki.php?browse.4.122 very interesting ideas]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Aki]]:''' He didn't make you eat [the baby], did he?

* ''Webcomic/ForestHill'' has a variation. After [[spoiler:Hunter gets molested at school]], single father Colin has to explain to his daughter Tanya what rape is. He has difficulty explaining what sex is to her, but luckily for him she already knows what sex is from her aunt giving her the talk. Colin also isn't able to give an answer when she asks how it is even possible for a penis to enter a vagina because it hurts when she tries to finger herself.

* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'': The Critic's parents telling him about the birds and the bees apparently included God injecting Adam with sperm. No wonder his sex life is fucked up.
* In one episode of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'', Arin and Dan both get to talking about how they received it, the highlight being that Arin's parents did such a bad job explaining homosexuality that he thought he was gay for a few years afterward because he loved his father.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** In "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut", Cartman asks his mom during dinner if he actually has a dad, considering he never knew who he was. Cartman's mom goes on to give the talk, only for Cartman to ask her "who put his who-who-dilly in her cha-cha". And after that, Cartman's search for his dad begins.
** In the episode "Proper Condom Use", the parents in town vote to include Sex Ed in the school curriculum because they are too uncomfortable giving The Talk to their kids. It turned into a disaster because Mr. Mackey knew next to nothing about sex, having forgotten most of his single sexual experience in college and never having learned anything else about it, Mrs. Choksondik opted for ScareEmStraight without actually explaining what sex is, and Mr. Garrison is a total pervert who tried to teach a class of kindergartners about exotic sex positions and how to put a condom on with your mouth.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} in "The Return of the Fellowship of the Rings to the Two Towers", in which the town's parents are afraid their children have seen a wild porn film. When they learn Token saw the tape, they try a traditional "when a man and a woman love each other" sort of talk, only for him to snap out of his HeroicBSOD to ask "And when the woman has four penises in her at once, then stands up and pees all over the men... is that love? Five midgets, spanking a man covered in Thousand Island dressing... is that love?" At the end of the episode, when they catch up to the rest of the kids, who did ''not'' see the film, the parents out of the blue start trying to explain group sex, urine fetishism, etc. to the children's' shock and horror.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Occurs for full comedic effect between Bart and Homer in the Season 16 episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E2AllsFairInOvenWar All's Fair in Oven War]]". Homer gives Bart The Talk after finding out Bart is using his ''Playdude'' magazines (that had all of the nude photographs cut out by Marge) to give advice to his friends, to the chagrin of their parents. The Talk ends with Bart running around the neighborhood screaming and going door-to-door to pass the knowledge onto his peers, all of which are equally freaked out. At that point and taking certain of his past comments and actions, one would think Bart was already well aware. Recent episodes illustrate that he somehow doesn't know what it is again... [[PingPongNaivete then other times he does]].
--->'''Bart:''' What a day, eh, Milhouse? The sun is out, birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them -- as is my understanding...
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPNxZno3YaM It's not like Bart didn't know already, however]] -- although he possibly doesn't remember due to his age at the time.
** Bart, along with all of Mrs. Krabappel's class, watched a 1970s film about puberty and sex, titled ''Fuzzy Bunny's Guide to You-Know-What'', all the way back in the Season 3 episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E23BartsFriendFallsInLove Bart's Friend Falls in Love]]".
--->'''Narrator:''' And now for the honeymoon!\\
'''Kids:''' ''[cries of disgust]''\\
'''Mrs. Krabappel:''' ''[deadpan]'' She's faking it.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' The episode "A Smith in the Hand" had Stan try to give it to Steve (who doesn't know as much as he pretends to). Stan, being an ultra-conservative, and this being the first season before he's lightened up, doesn't give good advice (he says if you have sex before you're married [[ScareEmStraight angels will kill you]], then shows Steve a 1950s short film about the evils of masturbation). At the end of the episode, he finally decides to play it straight and apparently gets quite explicit... but forgets to turn the camera off while ''on a children's television show'' (a ShowWithinAShow).
* ''WesternAnimation/CarlSquared'': Carl's parents decide to give him the talk at the end of "Carl's Techno-Jinx", complete with a helpful educational video.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':
** Dr. Venture decides to give Dean "the talk" since he has a girlfriend (kinda). All we get is a muted montage section with some interesting gestures, a GI Joe humping a lamp, and various other things. Next thing we know the topic has somehow moved to the breakup of Music/{{Whitesnake}}. Dean ends up staging a small version of ''Theatre/LadyWindermeresFan'' for Triana (his female friend).
--->'''Dr. Venture:''' Now sit down and let me explain something that every boy your age has known for like five years.
** In "Victor. Echo. Novemeber.", Triana gets her own Talk from her father before she leaves for a double date. She heads off his MillsAndBoonProse as unnecessary, not because she already knows everything, but because the date is with [[{{Manchild}} the Venture brothers]].
--->'''Dr. Orpheus:''' When young women reach estrus, the lingam craves the stamen-like skills of the Yoni. This is quite natural.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' had Angelica asking where babies come from. Drew and Charlotte agree to tell her the truth... but chicken out and tell her she hatched from an egg (which is technically true).
* In the ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' "Pet Rocky", Beezy goes to his dad Lucius to ask for a pet. Lucius assumes he's asking for this and proceeds to take out two dolls and make them kiss each other before being interrupted by reality.
* ''WesternAnimation/LifeWithLouie'' had Louie's Dad try to give Louie "The Talk" and ended up comparing it to the Invasion of Normandy. As a result, Louie thought that all babies come from France.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', Jimmy is having trouble with a bully, but his parents think he's talking about a girl, so mom Judy tries to get Hugh to give Jimmy the talk. Hugh struggles with the words, but by the time he gets the nerve to do it the conflict is resolved and Hugh ends up giving the talk to Jimmy's robot dog Goddard.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': In the episode "Carpet Diem", Stan ends up giving one of these to [[FreakyFridayFlip Mabel trapped in Dipper's body]], thinking it is actually Dipper. It skips over most of it, with the implication that it was ''extremely'' explicit: Stan gets out a book titled ''Why Am I Sweaty?: Your Body Explained in Horrifyingly Uncomfortable Detail''[[note]] which seems to be a parody of the real life books ''Where Did I Come From?'' and ''What's Happening to Me?'', even using the exact same typeface in the cover[[/note]], opens to a page explaining how the pituitary gland has "big plans", then the show switches over to a scene from the [[TwoLinesNoWaiting B-plot]] (Soos trapped in Waddles' body running around the town), and then it cuts back to Stan closing the book and saying "... and now you know where babies come from." The thoroughly traumatized expression on Mabel-Dipper's face says it all...
-->'''Mabel:''' ...''Goodbye childhood.''
* {{Parodied}} in ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries:'' [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Razer]] begins to get very flirtatious with [[SpaceshipGirl Aya]], even though normally he's aloof and CannotSpitItOut. When Aya mentions this to [[ParentalSubstitute Hal]], he seems slightly flustered before mentioning that organic beings have things called "hormones..." (For the record, [[spoiler:Razer's possessed]].)
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', [[YourTomcatIsPregnant Roger's Tomcat is Pregnant]], leading to this exchange.
-->'''Doug:''' Stinky is a girl? Roger, why didn't you tell me?\\
'''Roger:''' Well, how was I supposed to know?\\
'''Roger's mom:''' Son, we're way past due for a very important talk.
* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': After Toot convinces the incredibly naive Princess Clara that she's pregnant (because Clara kissed Foxy, and in fairy tales, the BigDamnKiss precedes BabiesEverAfter), Foxy decides to explain to Clara why that's not possible. She describes it as a "special hug" between a man and woman, with a cartoony visual aid... that turns out to be AnimatedActors she hired for the occasion. Clara's even more distraught, since she now knows why her WickedStepmother put a curse on her vagina, so no man would want to have the "special hug" with her.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'':
** In the episode ''Mighty Mom & Dyno Dad'', after using their new superpowers to get their jobs done super quick Timmy's parents are left with just enough time to spend with Timmy before he catches the school bus. As Timmy leaves, it's implied that they had The Talk.
--->'''Mr. Turner:''' And that's all you need to know about where babies come from.\\
'''Timmy:''' But what's the machine for?\\
'''Mr. Turner:''' I'll tell you when you're older.
** In the movie ''Channel Chasers'', Wanda is trying to explain what happens when kids grow up and their fairies leave, but Cosmo ([[ItMakesSenseInContext who's in a toilet after a very hot shower]]) misunderstands.
---> '''Timmy:''' Older? What happens when I get older? \\
'''Cosmo:''' Ah, Timmy. It's time for a little talk about something we fairies like to call "The Wands and the Wings". ''[Cosmo pulls out a pink sock puppet and a green sock puppet and makes them kiss]'' You see, when a mommy fairy and a daddy fairy love each other very much...\\
'''Wanda:''' ''[slams toilet lid on Cosmo]'' Cosmo, no! Not ''that'' speech!\\
'''Cosmo:''' But I already got the puppets out!
** After Poof is conceived and Timmy is confused why it's [[MisterSeahorse Cosmo]] who's pregnant, Cosmo decides to tell him about the "birds and Music/{{the Bee Gees}}", which winds up just being a speech about the Bee Gees getting overplayed to the point of annoyance.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'', when Simba tells his son Kion they need to talk, Kion assumes he wants to give him a different talk:
-->'''Kion:''' We already had the talk! "[[MythologyGag Can you feel the love tonight]]", remember?

* The ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies1980s'' episode "Where Do Puppies Come From?" had Bright Eyes and Whopper being confused about where puppies come from, at one point coming to the conclusion that puppies come from honey. After sugarcoated lectures prove ineffective in slaking their curiosity, Cooler sets them straight by having them watch Lucy give birth to her own puppies.
* The ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' short "Ask Edward: All About Babies" had Edward and his little brother Emo both [[MissConception believing that babies come from eggs delivered by the]] DeliveryStork [[MissConception after being sent a request form from the parents on Christmas, Easter, or whenever one of the children they already have has lost a tooth for the Tooth Fairy to get]]. The boys eventually find an egg that they think to be their new brother but are horrified when their mother cooks the egg in front of them and tries to get Edward to eat it. After realizing what the fuss is about, their mother then tries to set them straight by having their father explain the facts of life, but that only leads to Edward and Emo thinking that eggs will only contain babies if they have been pollinated by bees.

* The ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' episode "The Day I Was Born" had Cow ask her brother Chicken, her parents, her teacher, and the Red Guy how she was born and receiving different answers. Chicken claims that Cow is adopted, which only confuses her because she doesn't know what adopted means, while Mom claims [[DeliveryStork the stork brought her]], Dad gives the story that Cow was found in a cabbage, the Teacher tells Cow that she hatched from an egg, and the Red Guy gives the truth of how he delivered her the day she was born.
* In ''WesternAnimation/FIsForFamily'', after Bill is caught with a dirty movie, Frank decides he needs to have this with him, but he's so afraid of saying the wrong thing, that the whole thing becomes super awkward. Bill eventually tells him not to worry about it, because he already knows about sex... [[PrimalScene from accidently witnessing Frank and Sue together]].
** Frank's own talk with his father wasn't much better:
-->'''[[AbusiveParents Big Bill]]:''' Women are the Devil, don't ever touch yourself and now quit bugging me and hand me that fucking monkey wrench before I hit you with it.

* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': Multiple:
** Pops up in a little conversation, though becomes an OrphanedPunchline as all Salem can say is "when a young woman--"
--->'''Salem''': Sabrina, it's time for The Talk.\\
'''Sabrina''': Most girls get it from their mother. I get it from the cat.
** Another episode has Mr Pool announce he'll teach the Biology class about human reproduction. It then cuts to the end of the lesson with a class full of wide-eyed teenagers.
* ''Series/HopeAndFaith'' has Hope try to teach a class of teenagers about sex using sock puppets such as "Abby Abstinence", "Peter Peer-Pressure", "Polly Pregnant" and "Donny Dropout".
* Deconstructed in ''Series/TheMiddle'''s fourth-season episode "The Hose." Brick tries to opt out of sex-ed class at school because it makes him uncomfortable, making Mike and Frankie realize they've never had "the talk" with him. Before they can, however, he asks his older brother, who gives it all to him in a two-hour session. Brick repeats it when he does finally have sex ed, which results in a parent meeting and ultimately Mike and Frankie talking to Axl.
* On ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'', this is somewhat subverted when Ray tries to give Ally a talk about sex. Instead of wanting to know ''how'' babies get here, she wanted to know ''why'' babies get here, more specifically [[ContemplateOurNavels why God put us here instead of just keeping us in Heaven.]]
* On ''Series/GilmoreGirls'', Lane Kim's ultra-conservative mother hasn't explained anything to her daughter until ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MesbBk-f7Go the day of her wedding.]]'' Her advice is essentially to LieBackAndThinkOfEngland. Of course, Lane already knows about sex, but she's too mortified to interrupt.
* On ''Series/OneLifeToLive'', after a young man is wrongly arrested for rape, his little sister comes to their mother and asks what rape means. As it turns out, the girl has already had the "where babies come from/what sex is/inappropriate touching" talks, but her mother now needs to combine all three to find a way to explain rape to a 10 year old.
* Lampshaded in ''Series/HappyDays'' when Joanie is soon to have her first date. Parents first discuss how to broach the subject with her, and Mrs. C. finally decides, "I'll just tell her what my mother told me." Mr. C. answers, "You do that," and then after Mrs. C. leaves the room, he adds, "That if she kisses a boy, she'll go blind." The focus then shifts to Joanie's bedroom, where Mrs. C. is stumbling awkwardly when you can almost see the [[IdeaBulb light go on]] over Joanie's head. This exchange happens:
-->'''Joanie''': Mom! This is my sex talk!\\
'''Mrs. C.''': YES!!
* ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' reveals that Peter Bishop's form of "the talk" involved Walter doing some father-son bonding over a nude jigsaw puzzle of Miss July and using it as an opportunity to explain human anatomy.
* Subverted on a Halloween episode of ''Series/ThatsSoRaven.'' Corey thinks he's too old to go trick-or-treating with his father, which prompts this exchange:
-->'''Corey''': Dad, I think it's time we had... the talk.\\
'''Victor''': (''{{beat}}'') TANYA!\\
'''Corey''': Not THAT talk!
* Jack in ''Series/LifeWithBoys'' is notoriously bad at giving The Talk. So much so that Gabe and Spencer decide they should give Sam The Talk rather than having him traumatized by their father.
* Played with in ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'', when Trance finds a badly-beaten Dylan Hunt in a prison.
-->'''Trance''': Here, I want you to drink this very slowly. It's water.\\
'''Dylan''': How?\\
'''Trance''': How? [[NotActuallyTheUltimateQuestion Well, when two hydrogen atoms love each other very much, they bond with an oxygen atom...]]
* In an episode of ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' a spell causes sisters to mentally revert to little children. Penny tries to sit Piper down for a talk. Piper thinks it's this talk but Penny is really just trying to tell her she's a witch.
** In an earlier episode, neighbor Dan asked Piper to help his teenage niece Jenny with a school assignment about the reproductive system, feeling she might be more comfortable discussing it with a woman. When Piper's unavailable, Phoebe has to step in. She's under a time crunch ''and'' under a spell that makes her super-intelligent, so she jumps right in with a technical explanation about the egg and sperm. When she sees it's going over Jenny's head, she decides to simplify matters, scribbles something on Jenny's paper, and shoves her out the door. When Jenny looks at her paper, she sees a drawing of an ovum (labeled "US") surrounded by approaching sperm cells (labeled "THEM").
* In ''Series/EightSimpleRules'' Cate gets a job teaching Sex Ed for Bridget's class. After assuring Bridget she won't embarrass her, GilliganCut to Cate saying "and that's how Bridget was born". Even worse - Bridget claims she used the word 'vulva'.
* An episode of ''Series/{{Blackish}}'' is actually titled "The Talk," where Andre discovers his wife already had it with their son years before, and insists on also doing it himself. The result is Andre Jr. suddenly feeling comfortable sharing each and every dirty thought he has.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones''. Lord Tywin [[TheDreaded of all people]] is seen beginning one with child king Tommen. Justified as the king producing an heir is SeriousBusiness, to avoid a SuccessionCrisis like the war that's still raging in Westeros.
* Hinted at in ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' when Eric compares computer hacking to sex. Hetty tells him that they need to have a long conversation.
* On ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'', Pennsatucky thinks back to when she got her first period at age 10. Since her mother had not told her anything (not believing that a girl ''that'' young could begin to menstruate), she thought she was dying. After getting over her initial shock, her mother tells her over Mountain Dew and ice cream that she isn't dying, that this is normal...and also, that boys and men are going to start looking at her differently and might (whether she likes it or not) use her for sex (because they "only want one thing"), that she just has to [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland take and hope it goes quick]], because [[UnfortunateImplications that's normal too]]. [[spoiler: Pennsatucky is raped ''at least'' twice in her life: once at a party, and once while in prison by one of the guards.]]
* Subverted in ''Series/TeenWolf''. When Scott's mom lets him borrow the car to go to a party, she asks if they need to have "The Talk." Scott replies not to worry, that he's not going to have sex, to which his mom replies, aghast, that she's referring to "The Talk" about filling up the car with gas when you borrow it.
* {{Discussed}} on ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'' when the guys field a question about how old a child should be before receiving the talk.
--> '''Red''': Well, it all depends on the maturity of the child. Some of them are ready at thirteen; others aren't ready until they're...well, how old are you, Harold?\\
'''Harold''': Nineteen.\\
'''Red''': Until they're twenty-one.

* ''Series/GoodTimes''' Willona stubbornly and stupidly refuses to give this to daughter Penny, insisting that ''she'' will decide when Penny is ready for it, even though she clearly is--pubertal development has started, a classmate of hers is pregnant, and she's beginning to ask questions.
* ''Series/UpperMiddleBogan'': After an embarrassing sex ed talk at Oscar and Edwina's school their parents offer to answer any questions they have; Edwina is not interested but Oscar is very enthusiastic which makes his parents uncomfortable. In a later episode, Edwina asks her mother the age at which she first had sex but has already decided that the reason for her aunt's marriage problems was having sex too early, before they were emotionally ready, which delights her mother.
* ''Series/OneDayAtATime2017'': One episode revolves around Penelope deciding she needs to have the Talk with her son Alex, who's about twelve, because she found a (very graphic) porno on his laptop. She's especially not looking forward to it because she and her ex-husband agreed that she'd give the Talk to their daughter Elena, and he'd give it to Alex, but because he's absent, Penelope has wound up stuck with both of them. When Penelope tries to have the discussion, Alex is absolutely mortified and hides under a blanket, asking why Penelope is doing this to him... and then it turns out that ''Elena'' is the one who downloaded the movie, meaning Penelope is talking to the wrong kid anyway. (Elena, being fifteen, already knows the facts of life, but the movie is [[TakeOurWordForIt apparently]] extreme enough that Penelope is worried that a teen watching it might get the wrong idea about sex.) When Elena gets home, Alex hands her the blanket, cryptically warning her, "You'll need this..."
* ''Series/ReadyOrNot'': Amanda accidentally [[PrimalScene walks in on her parents]], prompting them to separately attempt to have the talk with her.
* One episode of ''Series/HouseOfPayne'' has Will and Sasha trying to give the talk to their adoptive son, Joaquin. They spend the entire episode fumbling every attempt until Mr. Brown steps in and asks Joaquin point-blank if he knows where babies come from and if he wants to know. Upon receiving a "no" on both questions, Mr Brown sends him off to play and tells the stunned couple to wait until he's older before trying it again.
* ''Series/TheGoldbergs'' episode "You Opened The Door" has Murray try to explain sex to Barry by using ''Series/FraggleRock'' puppets.
* ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'' had an episode where Loonette wonders where babies come from. Granny Garbanzo then tells her a story about clowns showing each other their best tricks in a secret circus late at night.
* ''Series/TheLWord: Generation Q'': Bette starts giving her daughter Angelica one after she's started dating. Angelica is embarrassed and begs her to stop.
* ''Series/BlueBloods'': Erin has the talk with her daughter Nicky after her second time on a date, and recalls how, the Reagans being a pretty devout Catholic family, it didn't happen for her until the eve of her wedding when her grandmother sat her down to explain what goes on between spouses in bed.
-->'''Erin:''' I didn't have the heart to tell her she was a ''little'' late.

* Subverted by the Belgian humorist Philippe Geluck. The Talk starts with rather naive language, to quickly switch into barely understandable anatomy class.[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F21xlV494Yg]]
--> When a man is very in love with a woman, and the woman is also very in love [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment with the man who is in love with her]], they want to stay close to each other [...]the erection come from arterial blood kept under pressure within erectils organs while blocked by veins contraction.
* In the ''Gloomsbury'' episode "The Theory and Practice of Hanky Panky", one of the plotlines is that Henry isn't keen on giving the talk to his sons, and is trying to give the job to someone else. At the end, Vera informs him that she's finally tasked Venus Traduces with it, despite the fact that earlier in the episode Venus wanted Vera to be the father of her children, and was quite surprised to learn this wouldn't work.
* In the ''What Does the K Stand For?'' episode "Working for a Living", Michael's parents insist that they've given their children the talk, even though neither Michael nor his sister have any recollection of this. It eventually transpires that they waited until both teenagers had headphones on, to avoid any awkward questions.

* ''Theatre/{{Arcadia}}'' opens with the question " Septimus, what is carnal embrace?" Septimus, being unwilling to answer this truthfully, replies that "Carnal embrace is the practice of throwing one's arms around a side of beef." Of course, this comes back to his great discomfort later, when Thomasina informs her parents that "Septimus taught me all there is to know about Carnal Embrace."

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', [[CoolOldLady Wynne]] playfully delivers The Talk to Alistair in a bit of party dialogue if the female PlayerCharacter begins a [[RomanceSidequest romance]] with him. Alistair is not amused. Zevran does it too, although his is about technique. Alistair is even less amused. If Zevran is being romanced, Shale tries to give him the talk.

* Steve's dad gives a hilarious/profoundly disturbing view on the subject in ''VideoGame/{{Harvester}}''. It involves at least three bolts, a chair, several scalpels, and some barbed wire...
* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', Mira will deliver a bounty hunter's version of The Talk to the Handmaiden (if the player character is male) or the player (if the player character is female) if asked how to get a guy's attention.
-->'''Mira''': It's simple. When you want a man, you jab him with a Bothan stunner. Then while he's screaming in pain, slap some stun cuffs on him. Then starve him for two or three days until he becomes open to suggestion. Then double-check his bounty and see if he's worth anything.
* A variation in ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'', when King Paithos has to explain to his nephew Amiti not the facts of life, but rather, exactly why the latter [[HeroicBastard doesn't have a father]]. In front of our heroes.

* In ''VideoGame/TheSims4'', parents can talk to their teenage kids about woohoo. It leads to both sides feeling embarrassed. In fact, that seems to be the only point of the interaction, as it serves no practical purpose in game. Occasionally, however, the interaction might not result in embarrassment and one or both might get a possible moodlet.
* In ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight'', there's a random event called "Two Smashed Ships", which involves two Engi ships that have apparently smashed into each other. If you have an Engi crewmate, they can explain that the two ships are "achieving an union" and forming a third vessel. The explanation involves pictures, and the Engi is very embarrassed.
* In ''Videogame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'' Mr. Mackey attempts this early on as a way for the game to let you establish your character's gender identity. Later on, he tries to continue this in order to let the game establish your sexual orientation.

* Averted in ''Film/{{Critters}}'', when the father gets concerned about his daughter's dating, and asks the mother if she's "talked to her about the way things are". Mom's reply ("Years ago") stuns him, but also lets him off the hook for undertaking this trope.

* Charlie has an ''exceptionally'' awkward one with Bella in ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} Eclipse]]''. Billy Burke and Kristen Stewart's reactions make it ''hilarious''.
-->'''Charlie''': So... you guys are... taking precautions and...\\
'''Bella''': Okay, Dad, please just don't worry about... ''that''. Edward is... old school.\\
'''Charlie''': "Old School". Great. What's that, like, code for something --\\
'''Bella''': Oh my God! Dad? I'm a virgin.\\
'''Charlie''': AHHH! D-d-d... okay, good. Glad we covered that.\\
'''Bella''': Me too!

* The parody "To the Batpole!" in the anthology ''Batman Unauthorized'' imagines how this conversation might have gone between a teenaged [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]] and Alfred.
* ''Literature/TheBridgertonSeries'': In ''The Duke and I'', Violet Bridgerton has had 8 children, and yet still can't get up the nerve to give the talk to her oldest daughter Daphne the night before her wedding. This leads to a reverse MissConception situation, where Daphne (who wants kids) has no idea that what her husband's doing with her will actively prevent them. The other Bridgerton sisters make sure to get The Talk from a maid instead after that.

* In ''Literature/ATreeGrowsInBrooklyn'', Francie, curious about sex but with no books to read about it, gets her mother to explain it to her. The narration glosses it over as InformedConversation, but Katie tells what she knows as best she can, using blunt words where she didn't know other ones.

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': There's an exceptionally awkward one between Charlie and Bella Swan ''Eclipse''. In the novel it just comes across as fairly uncomfortable, but in the movie (see above) Billy Burke and Kristen Stewart's reactions make it hilarious.
* In the last book of ''[[Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar The Collegium Chronicles]]''. Herald Jakyr asks Mags about his relationship with Amily and is prepared to give him some form of The Talk. Mags explains that he knows the basics, but has no clue about how to make it pleasurable for Amily. Herald Jakyr, realizing that his planned speech is useless, then proceeds to explain to Mags (who is horribly embarrassed by this) how to go about doing exactly that.
* In ''Literature/TheSalamanders'' one of the main characters, Ryan, gets The Talk from his dad. A teacher later mentions that the school is going to give a mandatory lecture on it as well. Both times, Ryan is horrified, possibly because [[spoiler: he's in the closet]].

* ''Literature/BlackDogs'': Jacyl talks Lyra aside to discuss sexual matters (she's aware of the basics), deeply embarrassing her. It's mentioned Jacyl previously got the talk herself from Sadrao-it was even ''more'' embarrassing.
* ''Literature/JustJuliet'': Juliet tells Lena that her dad gave her one in the past, after she came out as gay. He even looked up sexual practices that women engage in together so that he could tailor it for her. Juliet appreciated the effort, but still felt embarrassed by this.

* ''Literature/TheLockedTomb'': In ''Literature/HarrowTheNinth'', the Emperor suggests this as an alternative to talking about a ''different'' uncomfortable topic. Keep in mind that Harrow is 18 and certainly aware of the mechanics. And it turns out the Emperor thinks she is already having sex with SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Ianthe.
-->'''Emperor:''' Are you sure you want to go with--that one? Let's go through all the other, less awkward ones first. ''How is a baby made?'' I can do that, easy. I mean, I don't want to, but I'm ready. I have this little book about babies, bodies, friends, and family. Are you and Ianthe being safe?\\
'''Harrow:''' We--are not--''intimate''.\\
'''Emperor:''' Sorry--I mean, you're the same age, I don't really know how this goes anymore, we've all been alive for too long...\\
'''Harrow:''' Neither are we romantic--neither are we, frankly, ''platonic''--
* ''Literature/MartinDressler'': Caroline, an 1890s maiden, never got it, as she recoils in horror from Martin on their wedding night. Martin angrily goes to her mother Margaret and demands that Margaret "tell her" and "instruct her about marriage." Caroline lets Martin have sex with her after the talk, but the sex is terrible.
* {{Reconstructed}} in volume 4 of ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'', which treats it much more maturely than typical. After Nanao and Pete are approached by several other students hoping to court them, Oliver and Chela host what amounts to a private sex-ed seminar for their friends. They focus particularly on consent (having battled an AxCrazy upperclassman who specialized in SexMagic in the previous volume), contraception, and, for the benefit of their two [[MageBornOfMuggles Mages Born of Muggles]], the peculiarities of mage sexual and marital relations. Both of their Muggle-borns happen to have heritable traits that make them attractive mates to aristocrats trying to [[SuperBreedingProgram breed more powerful mage children]]: pushing the limits of sorcery is a pursuit that tends to overshadow all else among mages as it is, and TeenPregnancy is tacitly encouraged by the WizardingSchool as a consequence (third-years and up are explicitly permitted to have children at school). The talk also leads to Oliver and Nanao [[LoveConfession admitting to their mutual attraction]] for the first time.

* Sandy and Seth Cohen's exchange in episode 1.19 of ''Series/TheOC''.
* An odd example of this is in the live-action version of ''Series/TheTick2001'', where Janet and Batmanuel try to explain sex to The Tick.
* Done on ''Series/TheWonderYears.'' Doug Porter goes into a catatonic state after receiving The Talk.
* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'':
** In the episode "Hysteria", Elliot tries to give daughter Kathleen The Talk by speaking entirely in soccer metaphors, after which Kathleen reassures her father she's a virgin.
** This comes up in a heartbreaking way in the episode "Competence", involving a young pregnant woman with Down Syndrome. The girl's mother had never given her The Talk or allowed her to take sex-ed classes at her day center, believing she wasn't mature enough for that information, and the girl's lack of knowledge hampers detectives' efforts to determine who fathered the baby (and thus determine if it was consensual sex or if she was raped). When another character finally explains to her how babies are made, she replies "That's not sex -- that's exercise!" It turned out that [[spoiler:the girl's boss at her part-time job]] had been raping mentally disabled girls for years and calling it exercise, counting on them being too sheltered to know otherwise.
* In ''Series/LifeGoesOn'', after accidentally spending the night at her boyfriend's house (they fell asleep watching TV), Drew tries to give Becca the talk as she prepares for her driving test. "''You don't want to merge unless you're absolutely sure''". An irritated Becca snaps that cars have nothing to do with sex.
* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'':
** Subverted in "Cheerleader". Hal sits Reese, Malcolm, and Dewey down for "the talk" (because he doesn't want to have to have a separate talk for each one), complete with an action figure and something that resembles a Barbie. Beginning with "I wanna tell you about what happens when a boy really likes a girl," shortly into the talk he follows with "...and if they love each other, and take the proper precautions, they have sex. But I've told you about that already." ''This'' talk turns out to be about how the men in the family do everything possible to screw up relationships.
** Double-subverted in a later episode. Lois finds out that Malcolm and his girlfriend are getting serious and, since she's leaving soon and won't have time to give him all the lessons he needs, drags poor Malcolm around in an endless car-trip where she tells him ''in graphic detail'' everything she thinks he'll ever need to know about sex. Subverted in that Malcolm already knows all of this and doesn't want to hear it from his mom... [[spoiler:and then double-subverted when he actually learns an extremely important lesson from her towards the end]]. After all, doesn't ''every'' teenager think they know it all?
%%* Played painfully straight repeatedly in multiple episodes of ''Series/SeventhHeaven''.
* ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'':
** An episode has Roseanne and Dan preparing to give this talk to Becky, then discovering that Darlene actually needs it more.
** A reluctant Dan has to give this talk to DJ after he catches him [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbating]].

* In ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', sometimes the 'bots ask Joel what the characters in a romantic scene are doing, to his usual reply of "They're sharing secrets." Given Crow and Servo's PingPongNaivete on the topic, they're probably just making Joel feel awkward for the fun of it.
** One episode ends with Pearl starting to explain things to Bobo after he finds some interesting "balloons" in a men's room vending machine.
** A host segment during the episode covering ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E11PartsTheClonusHorror Parts: The Clonus Horror]]'' had the Mads giving "the talk" to a trio of superpowered Space Children. Pearl rambles on and bitterly about her own failed relationships, Brain Guy gives a surprisingly poetic description of love [[StrawVulcan before denouncing the emotion as unnecessary]], and Professor Bobo's advice is... questionable, since it's geared towards Ape Man mating rituals.
--->'''Bobo''': You're gonna get kicked in the face, that's always part of it... just grab one leg and hold on tight!
* In an episode of ''Series/{{Monk}}'', the title character gives this to Natalie's daughter; he is particularly ill-suited for it.
* ''Series/StargateSG1'': Multiple:
** Subverted memorably in an episode centering around Rya'c getting [[WeddingEpisode married]] in a traditional [[HumanAliens Jaffa]] ceremony:
--->'''Teal'c''': Before your departure, there is a matter that bears discussion.\\
'''Rya'c''': Father, I am aware of the ways between a man and a woman.\\
'''Teal'c''': Good. Then you are prepared for the [[{{Sting}} Rite of Or'nok]].\\
'''Rya'c''': Surely it is not still expected?\\
'''Teal'c''': On the first eve of shim'owa. My advice is that the knife be as sharp as possible.\\
'''Rya'c''': Perhaps Kar'yn is right. Not all of the old traditions are worth holding on to.
** The audience knows it's going in a different direction, but Daniel's conversation with Reece (a young, female android) in "Menace" initially sounds like it's heading into The Talk territory. Instead, he's trying to tell her that she's a machine, not a human.
--->'''Daniel''': But despite the fact that you and I look very much the same, we're very different.\\
'''Reece''': That's obvious.\\
'''Daniel''': I mean on the inside.\\
'''Reece''': How?

* In ''Series/{{Mortified}}'', Taylor spends an entire episode fleeing from her parents who she thinks are trying to give her The Talk. Finally cornered, she discovers that they actually want to talk to her about doing her share of the household chores now that she is older. Relieved, she immediately agrees and starts doing the dishes with her mother. However, her mother then takes advantage of having a captive audience to actually give her The Talk.

* A sketch from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's show ''Series/NotOnlyButAlso'' has an upper-class British gent trying to explain the facts of life with his naive 18 year old son, who doesn't want to believe the "filthy things they say at school". After much stalling ("In order for you to be brought about... it was necessary for your mother and I... to do something.") he makes wild claims that his son's conception was through his mother sitting in the same chair that he had been in and "was still warm... from my body". The conversation eventually escalates into them discussing Uncle Bertie ("Dirty Uncle Bertie they call him at school." "And they're right, Roger! Uncle Bertie is a dirty, ''dirty'' man"). [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Z1QGpTZSo The sketch can be viewed here]].
* ''Series/ABitOfFryAndLaurie'':
** Subverted by a sketch in which Fry asks Laurie (playing his son) if he knows where babies come from. Laurie replies "I always sort of assumed that you put your penis into mummy's vagina and then intercourse occurred". Fry responds that this is indeed what they told him but that it is a bit more complicated than that, going on to say that somehow carpets are involved in the process. (The whole sketch turns into a spoof plug for the show's supposed sponsor's "Tideyman's Carpets').
** Even better in another Fry and Laurie sketch when a father (Laurie) brings his son to the headmaster (Fry) complaining about the "vulgar lies" his son had been taught in his biology class: "Sexual intercourse sometimes leads to pregnancy in the adult female." Apparently the man believed that children came out of nowhere after a man and woman had gotten married and bought a house. This makes the headmaster realize that his son actually was [[NotActuallyHisChild sired by someone else]], since he turns out to have never once had sex with his wife.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Buffy and her mom have a different kind of talk after Angelus tells Joyce that he and Buffy had sex. It is played not for laughs, but for angst, as it brings up the emotional agony Buffy is suffering as a result of Angel losing his soul.
** In another episode it is played for laughs, as Buffy and Xander offer unsolicited advice to Giles who is struggling over asking Ms. Calendar on a date -- Xander asks if they should discuss the facts of life, pointing out that the stork is "a smokescreen".
* ''Series/{{MASH}}'': In several early episodes Colonel Blake has to lecture the men on the dangers of catching venereal disease from the local prostitutes, which leads to him resembling an embarrassed father giving The Talk.
* ''Series/TheColbertReport'': Stephen Colbert [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/229656/june-04-2009/the-word---just-don-t-do-it once]] did a "[[ScareEmStraight different]]" Talk.
%%* Was a RunningGag on ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll''.
* Allison from ''Series/LivingWithFran'' receives two talks. One takes place before the series and is the "How and What", the later one is the "Who and When".

* Mentioned in ''Series/TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete''. Dad wants to have a talk (not The Talk) with younger Pete but younger Pete thinks they're gonna have The Talk:
-->'''Dad''': (''to Little Pete'') Pete, we need to have a talk, as father to son.\\
'''Little Pete''': Oh, don't worry, dad. Artie already had that talk with me.\\
(''Mom faints'')
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
** In "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E1AmokTime}} Amok Time]]", Kirk and Spock's conversation about [[MateOrDie pon farr]] plays out a bit like this. "Are you referring to... Vulcan biology?"
** "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E5TheApple}} The Apple]]" shows that Spock still doesn't like talking about such things.
** There's also "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E2CharlieX}} Charlie X]]", in which Kirk and [=McCoy=] debate hotly who has to give the titular Charlie "The Talk". Turns out Kirk's absolute rubbish at it. Trips over himself the whole way and ends up telling Charlie almost nothing.
* {{Defied}} in the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Someone to Watch Over Me". The Doctor is about to give Seven a LargeHam version (especially the part where "Fortress Ovum is besieged by countless little warriors") before she bluntly tells him that his explanation is irrelevant.

* ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow'' has an episode involving Robert telling his son about the birds and the bees.
* Spoofed in an episode of ''Alexei Sayle's Stuff'', in the middle of a recreation of the police show ''Series/JulietBravo'': One (grown-up) police officer apparently doesn't understand what "women" are, so his female superior calls in another couple of officers to explain "the birds and the bees". This consist of the two officers, wearing bird and bee costumes over their uniforms, performing the following dialogue, woodenly, reading from their notebooks:
-->'''Bee Officer''': Buzz buzz buzz. I really like that bird.\\
'''Bird Officer''': Flutter flutter flutter. And I really like that bee.\\
'''Both''': (''together'') We'll both have to get married.\\
(''beat'')\\
'''Ignorant Officer''': ... Is it something to do with receiving stolen goods?
* ''Series/AllInTheFamily'': In the flashback episode dealing with Mike and Gloria's wedding, a very flustered Edith attempts to give one of these to Gloria...who gently and discreetly lets her mother know she already understands what she needs to..
* Happens in ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' in one episode revolving around this trope involving Ashley's curiousness about sex.
-->'''Will''': (''with Carlton and Hilary behind him'') Someone in this house needs to talk about sex, and it ain't one of us.\\
'''Uncle Phil''': Oh, Lord; please let it be Geoffery!
* On ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'', Tommy got this [[SarcasmMode highly detailed]] sex-ed lesson at school:
-->'''Coach''': Well... your, uh, man and your... your male and female... they have these certain parts that are, uh... how do you call, uh... complementary to each other. (''awkward pause'') These parts come into play. (''awkward pause'') And that's how we all were born.\\
'''Tommy''': I'm sorry, but can we get someone who's actually ''had'' sex to teach this class?
* Lampshaded in ''Series/LoisAndClark'', where Superman comes to a scientist after he married Lois and stated that he needs to talk since he has a girl now. The scientist thinks at first Superman needs The Talk, but turns out it was about genetic compatibility.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}'' manages a surprisingly touching and noteworthy scene between a father, Burt, and his gay son, Kurt. It is awkward, but not as much as it could have been -- rather than getting into the mechanics of it, Burt (who's pretty clueless about gay sex anyway) gives Kurt pamphlets to read, and proceeds to talk to him about the ''emotional'' impact that sex can have on a man.
-->'''Burt''': Believe me, I want to do this even less than you do. This is gonna suck for both of us. But we will get through it together, and we will both be better men because of it. [...] Don't throw yourself around like you don't matter. Because you matter, Kurt.
** Made even better by the fact that Kurt's first reaction is to stick his fingers in his ears and start singing. Made even worse by the fact that Kurt had actually asked his dad to do some research so that they could ''have'' this kind of talk. In the episode right before this. [[NegativeContinuity Continuity? What continuity?]]
* One episode of ''Series/KateAndAllie'' had Allie giving The Talk to her son. It ended with him in a state of acute embarrassment, wailing "My ''mom'' said 'condom'!"
** Jenny gets one when her mother learns that she's seriously contemplating having sex with her boyfriend.
* Subverted in the ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' episode "Raingirl", where Peggy gives this speech to Kelly:
-->'''Peggy''': Kelly, maybe it's time we had a little talk. You're getting to be a big girl now, and there's something I've been putting off telling you for a while. But time is slipping by quickly, and I don't want you to learn about it on the street. Honey, there is a thing out there that men will want you to do. In fact, they'll expect it. Now, no woman really enjoys it, but we do it, get them to marry us, and then never have to do it again. That horrible thing is called "work".
* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar A Good Man Goes to War]]" has one given to, of all people, [[CelibateHero the Doctor]] -- and not about his own sexual exploits, but those of Rory and Amy. You'd think after nine-hundred-odd years he'd know about it, and he certainly seems to understand the general idea, but it sure takes him a long time to realise what Madame Vastra is talking about.
-->'''Vastra''': I am trying to be delicate. I know how you can blush. When did this baby... ''begin''?\\
'''The Doctor''': Oh, you mean... well, how should I know? That's all human-y private stuff, it just sort of goes on. They don't put up a balloon or anything!

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' fic ''Fanfic/MyMirrorSwordAndShield: Nunnally notes that she really needs her brother to give her the talk as her knowledge is limited to what she sees in romantic novels and what Euphemia shows her with her relationship. But Lelouch refuses thinking that she's too young to know.
** Suzaku laments that "The Talk" his adoptive mother gave him turned out to be completely useless. His adoptive mother only told him about the mechanics of heterosexual sex but Suzaku realizes that he's gay.
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' fanfic ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5003746 Wherein Alphys Teaches Mettaton about Sex]]'', Alphys upgrades Mettaton to be, ahem, "fully functional", since it doesn't seem fair to leave him without the option just because she's too embarrassed. She then has to explain exactly what these new parts are supposed to do. [[spoiler:She winds up showing him Transformers porn.]]
* ''Fanfic/AnAstralDropInHeatherfield'' has Susan deliver "The Talk" to Hope who then swears an oath.
-->"I solemnly swear... no boy touches my unclad body... until I am at least sixteen... Is that sixteen counting from November?" I asked, realising a slight possible conflict between what I was reciting and my actual circumstances. Sixteen years from the date of my creation would be after Will's twenty-ninth birthday.\\
"Let's count that as your thirteenth birthday, Hope. Mind you, I wouldn't be upset if you waited a good bit more than three years, but that's all I'm insisting on."\\
"For the next three years, then... and either you or Will gives me a second opinon... cross my heart..." Mom stopped me and moved my hand through what was apparently the proper way of doing that. "...and hope to die."
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10793290/2/The-Unrelenting-Frozen-Seas-The-Journey The Unrelenting Frozen Seas: The Journey]]'', Thalia and Rhode accidentally walk on a rather effusive couple and Zeus's daughter finds herself explaining the birds and the bees to her younger cousin. Rhode ends up grossed. The girl later endures a more detailed explanation from Chiron while a gleeful Mr D. basks in her horror. She swears she will never have sex ever after listening how you can catch some very nasty things.
* ''Fanfic/OfTheRiverAndTheSea'' has a very flustered [[SonOfAWhore seven-year-old Ryuishi]] being forced to explain the "swords and sheathes" to a nine-year-old Zabuza after his shisou utterly botched his attempt, leading the kid to believe [[LiteralMinded he impregnated Ryuishi by stabbing her with his training sword]]. Kisame laughs his ass off while listening - because if you're not in the Seduction Corps, Kiri will ''not'' give you any explanation.
* In ''Fanfic/FindingALoud'', Rita Loud has given her daughters the talk so regularly shes actually gotten bored of it, and condensed the whole affair down to ten minutes. Luan even noted she's started to get confused about which girl she's giving it to. It's part of the reason she badly wants a son, just so she can have new challenges rather than the same ones over and over again.
* In one spoilerific ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' fanfiction found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3381124/1/Birds-and-Bees here]], a very embarrassed Roland is forced to explain sex to [[CannibalClan the]] [[TrueCompanions Embryon]], because [[spoiler:they're all sentient AI s]] and are missing some very basic information... including the fact that sex results in babies. Roland gives the bluntest explanation he can about sex itself, and his primary concern is that they might get themselves or someone else pregnant or sick without knowing otherwise. [[TheStoic Gale]] keeps on pressing him for more information, and [[spoiler: it's implied that he knew everything all along and was just messing with Roland.]]
* In ''Fanfic/HereticPride'', Master Windu has the task of giving each year's class of appropriately-aged Jedi younglings the Talk, with a heavy emphasis on temptations to be avoided. The Talk itself is not depicted, only the stunned and slightly traumatized state Aloo is in afterward; Anakin, remembering the experience from when he was a youngling, congratulates her on surviving it.
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5039644/chapters/11586310 What Does A Black Swan Have To Do With Lesbianism?]]'', Regina and Emma realize they may need to give Henry the Talk. Neither is sure how, Regina was planning on him finding out through sex ed and Emma has no clue how to do it, so they go to Snow White, accurately predicting she'll have thought of this.
-->'''David''': Regina, are you sure you want to be here for this?\\
'''Regina''': Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss this for the world.\\
'''Snow White''': Emma Swan… sometimes when two people are really in love, but they’ve already hugged so much and kissed so much and snuggled so much, they decide to do even more to show each other how truly special they are to each other.
-->'''Regina''': [[SickeninglySweet I changed my mind]], [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I’m out.]]
* ''Fanfic/JoysOfTheParenthoodTheTepesEdition'': One day, Adrien asks Death during one of their sessions where babies come from. Feeling that this is something that should be told by his parents, he abstains from answering. When he notices that Adrien tries asking somebody else in the castle, Death has his minions stop anyone from telling him for fear of the consequences Dracula may inflict on them. This goes on for the rest of the day.
* Cerise has to give her same-aged friend Apple the Talk in ''Fanfic/TheTrueLoveLoophole'' after Apple finds [[spoiler:Kitty and Maddie]] in a compromising position. As it turns out, Apple's nanny only gave her a bare minimal talk that came down to "Sex is for procreation and people only do it after you're married". Apple didn't even realize that women could be in relationships (which is one of the reasons she's so oblivious to her own feelings towards Raven).
* In one of Creator/{{Evay}}'s comics, Aurora asks her parents where baby comes from. Amy's explanation is that "Making a baby is like baking a cake! The Daddy puts the ingredients into the Mommy Oven and then it bakes for months". Sonic finds that silly, but his analogy isn't much better:
-->'''Sonic:''' Well, I was gonna say there's like... A baby tournament. And there's... The babies have to race to get to race to get to... the... You know this sounded a lot better in my head.\\
'''Amy:''' Yeah. That's what I thought.\\
'''Aurora:''' ''[appears with a cupcake]'' I made you a baby!!!
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3587090/1/A-Special-Alchemy A Special Alchemy]]'', Elicia asks Roy how babies get in mother's stomachs after she sees a pregnant Riza. Roy tells her that it involves a special alchemy that all dads know.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' fan works:
** ''Fanfic/{{Divorced}}'': After 7-year-old Mina walks in on her parents naked in bed, she asks them why they're naked. Much to Zelda's embarrassment, Ganondorf explains to her about sex. Gerudos and Hylians have different standards on when it's appropriate for kids to learn about reproduction.
** In ''Fanfic/LetTheWorldSmile'', sixteen-year-old Princess Zelda is married off to Ganondorf as an act of AltarDiplomacy, but she doesn't know much about sex yet. Her mother died when she was young and her lady-in-waiting Impa was vague about the specifics. Nabooru is astonished by Zelda's naivety at her age.
** In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20806889 Clueless]]'', Malon finds out that Link has no idea where babies came from after catching him staring in confusion at a pregnant woman in the Castle Town market. After she gets her laughter under control, she takes him home and forces Talon to help her give him the talk, which the narration describes as "shamelessly thorough." Keep in mind [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime this version]] of Link was raised by a tree.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13226631/1/Shigeko-Kageyama-AKA-Mob Shigeko Kageyama AKA Mob]]'' Mob (gender swapped) gets the talk from Reigen after the events of the 7th Division arc. She decides that she doesn't want to die without knowing what it's like so she and Teru get up to some experimenting...on Reigen's couch(she ran away to his house). Reigen and her have a heart to heart about all of it. This talk is continued in chapter 27 when Mob and Teru finally have their first time.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12571904 Thicker Than Blood]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' fic where Shiro ends up having to give the talk to not only Allura and Coran (who have no idea how the human reproduction system works), but also a surprisingly-naive Keith, after Pidge gets her first period and they assume she's been horribly injured.
* The second chapter of ''Fanfic/{{Snowflake}}'' starts with this. Yang tries to give Snowflake a less-than-kid-friendly version of the Talk before Weiss stops her.
* [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9o7cYAK9D/ This human AU]] of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has Pink Diamond asking how she got inside of her mother's belly. One SpitTake and awkward pause later, White decides to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject.
* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11386011/1/Echoes This fanfiction]] of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has Pearl giving The Talk to Connie when the latter [[FirstPeriodPanic gets her first period.]] Later on, Greg talks to Steven about body changes as they go to buy said period products.
* ''Fanfic/BornOfHellsKitchen'' has Sister Maggie Grace (yes, a nun) lecturing her grown-up son on safe sex practices after learning she became a grandma when a college-aged Matt drank himself silly to the point he banged a girl into a closet without the adequate protection and [[WhatDidIDoLastNight promptly occluded the memory]]. Matt describes the experience as "ten horrifying minutes".
* ''Fanfic/HopeOfTheShieldHero'' is a fanfic of ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', and a BrickJoke involves the fact that Raphtalia was never given The Talk (Something which Naofumi notes, and resolves to fix early on), to the point where Chapter 39 is aptly labelled "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He Forgot The Talk]]". Naofumi gets an OhCrap moment when he realises that he had forgotten about The Talk:
--> '''Narration''': [[Naofumi's]] eyes had widened in realization. A cold sweat broke out on his skin. A cold, dreadful feeling ran down his spine. It'd been so long since he last thought about this happening. Raphtalia had been acting mature and grown-up for so long that it was hard to picture the little girl she'd been two months ago.
* In the''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12941958/1/Explaining-Things-to-Non-Humans Explaining Things to Non-Humans]]'', Jason Todd finds himself having to explain human reproduction to M'Gann (who hatched from an egg), Donna (who was sculpted from clay), and Garth (who actually ''knows'' what sex is, but came asking Jason what porn is).
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fan works:
** ''Fanfic/KingdomHeartsPsiTheSeekerOfDarkness'': in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16458608/chapters/39006437 Adjustments]]'', while Xion has had the Talk before (see under "Other" below), she doesn't understand much about sexual orientation, and when this comes up with Naminé, she chooses to pass the buck onto Lea. [[BrickJoke Some time]] [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17795354/chapters/42831872 later]], Lea ends up in a similar conversation with Vanitas, and passes the buck back to Naminé.
** In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27446845/chapters/67097959 An Unlikely Alliance]]'', Sora and Vanitas have to give the Talk to Roxas and Xion. The two do know (thanks to Even) that they weren't created by sexual reproduction, but they have no idea what that ''means''. Sora initially tries to stay out of it until Vanitas threatens to use his and Kairi's relationship as an example.
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12210736/1/How-Not-to-Be-a-Parent How Not to Be a Parent]]'', has Lea trying to give the Talk to Roxas and Xion, which starts badly when he uses a rather unpleasant ice cream metaphor, goes off the rails when he has to bring up his relationship with Isa (which has no relevance to making babies) and then has to explain the difference between Vexen making replicas and couples making babies. All of which turns into a somewhat Ironic example with the final lines:
-->'''Xion''': I still don't get what any of that had to do with Lea and Isa.\\
'''Roxas''': Neither do I. It's all really confusing. I wonder if it has something to do with them having sex the other night when they thought we weren't home.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13126265/1/The-Inappropriate-Touching-Talk The Inappropriate Touching Talk,]]'' Nathalie will do anything for Gabriel Agreste-- but she draws the line at giving his son a talk on sexual harassment. When she finds out that Gabriel pawned the duty off on Human Resources, Nathalie locks them in a room together and refuses to let them out until they've had a mature and informative discussion.
-->The Agreste men almost starved to death that day.
* ''Fanfic/HeroChat'': When Adrien tells his father that he's in a [[{{Polyamory}} four-way relationship]], his father and his assistant try to give him "The Talk." Adrien's father is TheStoic on a good day and his assistant is only slightly better, so all his friends immediately wince.
-->'''Adrien:''' I mean they only got a few lines in before I stopped them. Thanks to Chloé, my mom gave me "The Talk" years ago.\\
'''Chloé:''' What did I do???\\
'''Adrien:''' You found out about periods and came over to complain "this is fucking bullshit!!". \\
'''Chloé:''' It's true.
* The ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2216376/1/THE_CLASS The Class]]'' has the human Animorphs go to a sex ed class given by Vice Principal Chapman. While the information isn't wrong, it's still pretty awkward, not helped by Chapman having an alien slug inside his brain. Also, Ax is very confused by human reproductive biology.
* In the ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' LetsWatchOurShowPlot fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27019630 The Future Briefing Island]]'' has the staff of U.A. realize that they're on an island with 24 first year students (the entirity of Class 1-A, Monoma, Tetsutetsu and Kendo of Class 1-B, and Hatsume of the Support Course) some of whom are bunking in boy-girl pairings along with the fact that Izuku and Ochako got into a RelationshipUpgrade while also bunking together, thus Midnight with Nezu's approval holds a sex education class that goes the full gamot from biological functions, psychological considerations (kinks and fetishes, and yes the story does make a distinction between the two), safety and proper ettiqute that goes beyond just consent. It even dabbles into pornography and how it differs from real life. A hilarious outcome of this is that it shows HiddenDepths of both Bakugo and Izuku by having them be so knowledgeable that they could pass for studying to be [=OB/GYNs=] with comments from the former suggesting that Aldera Junior High is rather thorough in its sex education.

* ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'' has a scene where Dory misinterprets the class learning about "mommies and daddies" to how fish create offspring, [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject followed by Mr. Ray cutting her off before she could explain]]. The scene provides the page quote above. [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating It's probably the entire reason for the movie's PG rating]].

* Subverted (like you'd expect any different) in ''[[Film/TheAddamsFamily The Addams Family Values]]''. Morticia is having a baby, so Wednesday and Pugsley are in the waiting room. As a young girl tells the story about a wish turning into a diamond that grows in the cabbage patch and turns into a baby as it's delivered by the stork, Wednesday, in one of Christina Ricci's best [[JustForPun deliveries]] ever, baldly states "My parents are having a baby. They had sex."

* Edgar Chan in ''Manga/DGrayMan'' attempts to give one to a young Kanda. It goes as well as you expect.
* In ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'', when Yuji's mom gets pregnant, Shana innocently asks where babies come from. Everybody is too embarrassed to answer, even [[EldritchAbomination Alastor]].
* In an episode of ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', Italy, after reading a sex scene in a book France is reading him, asks what sex is. We don't hear what France says as [[CensoredForComedy it's covered up with an array of silly sounds]], but given Italy's reaction, we probably don't want to know what he said.
* Off-hand mentioned in the first episode of ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'' when Tyson tries to sneak away from his grandfather:
-->'''Tyson's Grandfather''': It's time we had a lil' rap session!\\
'''Tyson''': Not the 'birds and bees' speech!\\
'''Tyson's Grandfather''': No, that's next week.

* Early in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', Kaguya, Shirogane, and Fujiwara come across a magazine article that says just over a third of people their age have had their "first time" by then. Shirogane and Fujiwara are surprised it's so high, but Kaguya thinks it's about right, if not ''low''. However, she then goes on to say it's very common to the point she did it with her newborn nephew and expects Fujiwara did it with her ''dog''. This results in the obvious question of what Kaguya ''thinks'' "first time" means, and Kaguya reveals she's talking about kissing, as that's the extent of her sexual education. Fujiwara steps up to the plate and, sixteen minutes later, Kaguya is both educated and flustered beyond belief.

* ''Manga/IThinkOurSonIsGay'': When the protagonist's husband comes home from a business trip, he tries to have a talk about romance and dating with their teenage son Hiroki. Unfortunately, he's not aware that Hiroki is gay and in the TransparentCloset, so it goes very awkwardly for them.

* 19-year-old comedian Daniel Sloss had a routine where he describes his father giving him The Talk. Subverted in that it was actually a talk about shaving... but poor Daniel ''thought'' it was about sex, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxyGrHsKTmo&feature=related which brings it into very close to Squick.]]
* One ''Series/NotOnlyButAlso'' sketch involves a father (Pete) trying to deliver this to his school age son (Dud). It quickly become apparent (to the audience) that the father has no idea how sex works either and cannot be the boy's biological parent.
* Canadian comedy troupe The Frantics have a routine in which a father tries to talk his daughter (who is home alone) through handling her first period over the phone in a rapid transit car (surrounded by other commuters, all male) in ever increasing levels of detail causing the rest of the train to react even more and more comically as he keeps on having to explain more and more and give more practical, graphic and hands-on advice.

* An entire ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' story arc involved preparation for a fishing trip for Walt and Jeremy. Finally, they're out on the boat, and it turns out Walt brought Jeremy out there... to have The Talk.
* In a ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' strip, Larry the crocodile's wife tells him to give their son the talk about "the birds and the bees". He finds his son and explains to him that birds are tasty and should be eaten, but bees will sting you and should be avoided.

* In the Norwegian comic strip ComicStrip/{{Nemi}}, Nemi tells a boy she is babysitting facts about flowers and bees, because "his dad paid her to do so".[[note]]The Norwegian phrase is "the flowers and bees" instead of "birds"[[/note]]

* An arc in ''ComicStrip/BigNate'' saw Nate's dad try to give Nate the Talk and act completely flustered while doing so. Nate found it so hilarious that he invited his friends inside to listen in.

* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6787075/1/How-Are-Babies-Made This series]] of ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' stories, aptly titled "How Are Babies Made?".
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'':
** Defied:
-->'''Tristan''': Joey, what's sex?\\
'''Joey''': Well, Tristan, when a man and a woman love each other very much--\\
'''Tea''': Joey, no! We mustn't let [[TooDumbToLive Tristan]] breed!\\
'''Joey''': [[VerbalTic Nyeh!]] Thanks, Tea. That was a close one.
** Though in a later episode, he [[RuleOfFunny inexplicably]] knows what it is.
--->'''Joey''': Shut up, Tristan! You just want to get in Serenity's pants!\\
'''Tristan''': [[TheDitz No, I don't! I want to have sex with her!]] [''{{Beat}}''] Oh, that's what you meant.
*** It's possible he just learned about it sometime in between the two instances.

* [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Where-Do-What-Now-V-2-340258379 This]] ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' fanart portrays Vanellope asking Felix where new characters come from.
** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8754781/1/Where-Do-Babies-Come-From "Where Do Babies Come From?"]], a fanfic based on the ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' FanArt, has Vanellope ask Felix where new programs come from. Felix keeps trying to avoid it, to Vanellope's increasing confusion and frustration, until Calhoun steps in and does it for him.
* ''Webcomic/AkiChansLife'': When Misato is revealed to be pregnant, the heated argument that breaks out is interrupted when the titular Aki arrives at the table wanting to know what everyone's talking about. Asuka uses the opportunity to drag Misato to another room for some "Girl talk", leaving ''Shinji'' the job of explaining to a 4-year old about the birds and the bees. Turns out to be a bad idea since Shinji, [[NoSocialSkills being Shinji]], botches it and Aki runs into the room a few minutes later asking if Misato ate a baby. Asuka decides to take over after that.

* ''Fanfic/TheSecretReturnOfAlexMack'':
** Alex gets a particularly graphic version from Willow at Comic-Con, [[MomentKiller brutally murdering the mood]] for her and Ray. Probably not intentional on Willow's part; she's just very enthusiastic about her very active sex life, and wants to share the joy.
** Shar picks up The Talk rather earlier than her parents intended, using her mind-reading powers.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fan works:
** There's a ''[[Film/StarTrek2009 Star Trek XI]]'' fic [[http://community.livejournal.com/st_xi_kink/8314.html?thread=23814266#t23814266 here,]] written for that fandom's KinkMeme where for family reasons Chekov had never been given the Talk, and the bridge team decides to rectify this. Unfortunately, rather than selecting one person to do this, almost all of them decide to chime in on it independently. Spock uses diagrams. Bones uses the ScareEmStraight method.
** There was a hilarious one in which Spock is mailed a pamphlet called "[[MateOrDie Pon Farr]] and you."

* Creator/DCComics fan works:
** There's a very funny fan fic called ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2759/1/The_Talk The Talk]]''. Batman, Nightwing, and Superman joined together to give the talk to Robin (Tim). They gave a special type of superhero talk that involves body armor.
** ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3464211/1/Litany Litany]]'' has two examples.
*** First, there is Batman calling Robin once he hears he dates Starfire. At the end of the chapter (we never actually hear the dialogue):
---->''Robin buried his face in his hands, embarrassed beyond belief.\\
"I still do not understand, man of bats. Please, tell me once more about these 'birds' and 'bees,' and why they are of such vital importance to Robin and myself." Starfire somehow managed to procure a pen and pad of paper. "Perhaps I should take notes, this time."''
*** The end of the fic is Mento calling Beast Boy, seeing him and Raven kissing, and saying "You see, when a, um... half-demon... uh, tolerates a, uh... changeling… very much..."
** In the ''Fanfic/SorrowfulAndImmaculateHearts'' story "Christmas in Kansas", Clark Kent recalls the Talk his mother gave him when he was a teen. It was apparently horrifyingly thorough, both because Martha had personal reasons for wanting to cover the full range on human possibilities, and because she felt obliged in Clark's case to cover the inhuman possibilities as well. "All I know's the birds and the bees, for all I knew you were an iguana."

* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5772667/1/Nuts_and_Bolts Nuts and Bolts]]'' features [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] giving the talk to his son. He is reluctant at first since he really doesn't see the reason why.
-->'''Pepper''': Now, are you going to talk to him?\\
'''Tony''': Nope.\\
'''Pepper''': To-ny! Why not? How did you find out about all this?\\
'''Tony''': Experimentation, and [[TheCasanova look how I turned out!]]
* Variations on Murdoc giving Noodle The Talk are almost a RunningGag in Music/{{Gorillaz}} fandom. [[http://chelonianmobile.deviantart.com/favourites/#/dotfwp An amusing example]] (worksafe fanart).

* In ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfSpyroANewDawn'', Sparx reveals his dad had The Talk with him before he left home. He promptly changes the subject because he doesn't want to talk about it. Volteer and Cyril give a rather tame one to Cynder as well. Volteer was about to give a much more...detailed version by Cyril cut him off.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fan works:
** ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1983/The-Birds-and-the-Bees The Birds and the Bees]]'' has the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting into hilarious shenanigans as they try to figure out where foals come from, and repeatedly get the wrong idea from asking the Mane Six.
** In ''Estrus'', five of the Mane Six swap stories about how they first learned the facts of life after finding out that Twilight apparently has no idea what being "in heat" means. [[spoiler:Turns out Twilight ''does'' know everything already, [[ExactWords she just never heard the expression "in heat"]]]].
** ''Webcomic/{{Hoofstuck}}'': Played with. Apple Bloom asks Pinkie Pie where foals come from. Pinkie's answer? [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=484&p=220 They come from rocks.]]
--->'''Sweetie Belle''': Well, Rarity ''does'' say that there can sometimes be interesting things inside of rocks, I guess.
** ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/96436/regarding-the-need-for-sex-education Regarding The Need for Sex Education]]'': Subverted; Twilight's parents apparently glossed over a ''lot'' of the details, resulting in a series of hilarious misunderstandings when she does finally become intimate with someone. [[spoiler:Specifically, her parents never bothered to spell out the fact that it's impossible to get pregnant from ''lesbian sex''.]]
--->'''Applejack''': Yeah, well, Ah'm rethinkin' my previous stand against sex education in schools, let me put it that way.
** ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse'': ''Tales of Ponyville'' features something of a hybrid between the two types. Cherilee misinterprets something Lyra said to conclude that Trixie is totally ignorant about sex. Being a teacher, she can't let that stand, and proceeds to give Trixie the Talk to end all Talks, incorporating everything she learned in the course of a thoroughly misspent teenhood, starting with the basic biology and moving on to much more explicit matters before rambling into recounting her own past sexual escapades. Only after she has finished an exhaustive elaboration of equine sexuality does she find out that Trixie is perfectly aware of how sex works, she just finds it really, really gross.

* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6679010/1/VIVIO-S-QUEST-FOR-UNDERSTANDING VIVIO'S QUEST FOR UNDERSTANDING!]]'' [[Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid Nanoha]] gives her daughter advice on sexual orientation, reproduction, and gender roles-- all specifically tailored to Vivio's unique situation. Like how, despite what she and Fate might think, babies generally do NOT come from test tubes, and there are ways that do NOT involve mad science.
* The kinkier side of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' fandom has a lot of fun speculating about whether feral child [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite N]] has learned the facts of life, and from whom. The guesses (and resulting fics) range from "clueless virgin" to "[[ADateWithRosiePalms self-taught]]" to "well-versed in the ways of [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction Skitty and Wailord]]".
* This happens between Kamina and Simon in the ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5421567/1/The-Talk The Talk]]. Somewhat unique in that Kamina, the parental figure, completely lacks embarrassment while discussing this topic and doesn't actually know anything about pregnancy.
--> '''Kamina''': If you're lucky when you get to the vagina, the sperm shoots right through the egg like a bullet. No babies.
* In the ''Manga/DeathNote'' CrackFic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5145663/1/ Parental Guidance]]'', Souichiro Yagami insists on giving Light the talk while L listens in and gives his ever-helpful input on the matter.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fan works:
** The fanfic ''Fanfic/BringMeAllYourElderly'' has a scene where Aang tries to get his [[Film/TheLastAirbender movie counterpart]] to realize that movie!Katara is, in fact, a girl and he should be attracted to her. Aang just keeps digging himself deeper and confusing movie!Aang.
** Most ''Avatar'' fics on this subject have Sokka (or another older character) giving KidHero Aang the talk. But ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5514910/1/The-Innocence-of-Youth The Innocence of Youth]]'' has an interesting twist on this: it has the teenaged monks of the Air Temple eager to tell an apparently innocent Aang everything they know, only to find that Aang is already pretty knowledgeable on the subject. Hilariously, when Sokka (a century later) decides to give Aang "the most enlightening conversation [[he'll]] ever have," it turns out that he actually knows ''less'' about sex than the younger kid.
** [[http://kaen-daughter-of-loki.tumblr.com/post/62375354972 This tumblr post]], in which Fire Lord Ozai attempts to explain reproduction to Zuko and Azula. [[EvilOverlord Ozai]] being [[AxCrazy Ozai]], it doesn't go well.
--->'''Ozai''': It is time for us to have "The Talk."\\
'''Azula''': [[OhCrap Zuzu, I'm frightened.]]\\
'''Zuko''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Azula, hold me.]]\\
'''[[NoIndoorVoice Ozai]]''': Azula, GO FIND A VOLCANO! BUILD A FORTRESS UPON ITS SUMMIT AND EMBRACE ITS FIRE INTO YOURSELF SO THAT YOUR OFFSPRING CAN SET FIRE TO THE WORLD! Zuko, YOU MUST FIND A FERTILE VALLEY AND FLOOD IT WITH YOUR SOLDIERS! SOW YOUR SEEDS AND LET YOUR FRUIT CONQUER THE WORLD! (''suddenly wearing Phoenix King helmet'') '''AND DON'T FORGET TO USE PROTECTION!'''\\
'''Azula''': I don't think Ty Lee has a volcano...\\
'''Zuko''': But I don't like farming... or fruit...
* An ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' fanfic, aptly titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9525082/1/The-Birds-and-the-Bees The Birds and the Bees]]'', has an angry, sexually frustrated [[DrillSergeantNasty Keith Shadis]] being forced to give the 104th training squad a sex ed class, which is funny enough. What makes it hilarious is that most of the cadets are totally clueless about sex and reproduction.
-->'''Armin''': (''on receiving a condom'') Is this some sort of training device?\\
'''Shadis''': It keeps the girl from getting knocked up, period. So wrap that shit up if you're going to bump uglies, you got that?
* It goes both ways in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' story ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5342030/1/Supplemental-Rules-and-Regulations Supplemental Rules and Regulations]]''. At the end of chapter fourteen, Roy is enlisted to give the Elrics The Talk. Loud, outgoing Ed blushes and sputters. Sweet, ''innocent'' Al on the other hand asks, "What do you want to know?" Made even more hilarious by the bit in chapter sixteen where we find out that Roy was unanimously elected by his subordinates and best friend to do it, without giving him any say in the matter.
* In the ''Manga/SoulEater'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6388290/10/Something-Sweet Something Sweet]]'', twelve-year-old Crona, who is beginning puberty, attempts to ask his [[AbusiveParents mother Medusa]] what's happening to him, but she blows him off rather cruelly, telling him to never ask her again and just ignore it or he will die. So ''Ragnarok'' decides to give him the talk instead.
-->'''Ragnarok''': Alright. Now sit up and listen, because I'm only explaining this once...
* ''Fanfic/TimeFixersNicktoonsOfTheFuture'' episode "Princess Kida" has a subplot with Junior wanting to know where babies come from after finding out they don't really come from the stork like his parents told him. Jimmy is too embarrassed to tell him, Yuki tells him babies come from clouds, Kida seems to think they grow on trees, [=SpongeTron=] was told that they are manufactured at a factory, Tommy thinks they come from eggs, and Tammy thinks they grow from seeds.
* [[http://kaen-daughter-of-loki.tumblr.com/post/87857039446/textsfromgayswimmers-i-dont-think-i-ever-got This tumblr post]], for ''Anime/{{Free}}'' [[BigBrotherInstinct Protective big brother Rin]] attempts to give his sister Gou the talk (via text message) when he finds out she's dating somebody, but the AnimalMotifs analogy he uses makes it pretty clear he's thinking of [[HoYay his own relationship.]]
-->'''Rin''': It's called the birds and the bees but fuck that bugs suck and who gives a flying fuck about birds. It's all about the sharks and the dolphin.\\
'''Gou''': This is worse than I thought Rin please\\
'''Rin''': Shut up and let me talk! Ok so sharks and dolphins. Sometimes, sharks and dolphins, against the laws of nature fall in love and want to bang. So sharks act all gracious and romantic and are the damn casanovas of the animals kingdom. Dolphins, on the other hand, are pieces of shit that ignore everything and only care about diving into water and swimming. Won't even call you back fuckin son of a bitch.\\
'''Gou''': Rin, I don't understand how this is at all a lesson in sex education. Also who am I supposed to be in this situation?\\
'''Rin''': Will you shut up Gou tHIS ISN'T EVEN ABOUT YOU RIGHT NOW
* ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' fic "[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/82162 Stars From Home]]" implies that this happens--the chapter ends with Scott asking Charles where babies come from. Made all the more awkward by the fact that Scott is ''sixteen'' and [[ADateWithRosiePalms not completely innocent]].
* In ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'', Misato decides that her young wards need to hear "The Talk". Shinji and Asuka's reaction was try to endure it as long as possible, but they ran screaming eventually.
-->The mortification the two of them experienced after Misato gave them ‘The Talk’ in the morning lasted for days, especially since Misato was so cheerfully nonchalant about the whole thing and seemed completely unashamed about the explicitness of her explanations. They had only been able to stare in mute horror as she showed them where her stash of condoms was located before she proceeded to give a demonstration on how to actually put one on using a banana as reference.\\
Their protests of "Too much information!" went on deaf ears, and even seemed to egg Misato on. When she started giving tips they had simply run screaming from the apartment, holding their ears.]

* ''Series/That70sShow'': Parodied in "What Is And What Should Never Be". When Kitty informs Red that she's pregnant, this leaves Red speechless, leading Eric to give his own take on "the talk", saying "You see, when a boy loves a girl...", with Hyde interjecting, "Doesn't have to love her.", and Eric answering "That's true.". [[spoiler:Though it turns out that Kitty isn't actually pregnant and is experiencing menopause, instead.]]

* Subverted again in ad for Amazon in which a mother sits with her daughter, telling her that she's at the age now where she might be feeling certain urges to purchase things at full price. She recommends practicing "safe spending" with Amazon's every day low prices on essentials. "I'm glad we had this talk," she tells her.
