* TheChosenOne in ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'' says this after Master Tang goes on a little too long about how a friend of his told him about the coming of the chosen one, ending with said friend accidentally killing a dog with his [[{{Gasshole}} noxious farts]].

* In ''Film/Zoolander2'', Hansel tries to cheer up Derek Junior by telling him how wonderful his mother was, but ends up recounting far too many details about [[ThreeWaySex what he got up to with both of Derek's parents]].

* Malcom Reynolds has this reaction to Kaylee’s talk about masturbating in ''{{Film/Serenity}}''. Jayne, meanwhile, has the opposite opinion.
-->'''Kaylee''': It’s been on a year now since I had anything twixt my nethers wasn’t run on a battery.

* Nutt, from ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'', generally speaks in lectures, and at one point gives Ponder a taste of his own medicine. He also tells the woman he has [[JustFriends a bit of a crush on]] that he is in fact staring at her arms because they're such remarkably nice arms; this doesn't seem intended as flirting but rather a friendly compliment combined with wishing to clear up what he was doing. He also shares pertinent but wholly unnecessary details about his bodily functions, which is seen as part of his habit of being "precise but odd".
* ''Literature/SeptimusHeap'': Jenna isn't all too thrilled at hearing Septimus's detailed explanation of what the "Deadly Stinking Black Slush" is.
* In ''Literature/GirlsKingdom'', before Misaki and Kirara can ask Mei about what she did with her first paycheck, Mei instead starts rattling off random information about her mistress, Asuka, thinking they're after blackmail information. This results in the reader learning about things like the heart shaped birthmark on her butt among other unnecessary details before they can get her back on track. It's telling about how dedicated she is to her mistress's every detail that they react with frustration instead of becoming disturbed, as Misaki herself notes.

* In the ''Literature/VeronicaMars'' spin-off novel ''The Thousand Dollar Tan Line'', Keith jokingly asks Veronica if there are any [=MILFs=] in the market for a [[spoiler:cripple]], and she implores him never to use the term "MILF" in front of her again.
* In ''Literature/TheWitchlands'', when Kullen explains to his best friend Merik that his uncontrollable bursts of magic are connected to his attraction to Safi, he starts talking about the times he and his girlfriend Ryber were having sex. Merik is very quick to change the topic.
* Neil Postman explored this topic in ''Amusing Ourselves to Death'':
-->Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
* Daylen in ''Literature/ShadowOfTheConqueror,'' when experimenting with [[SuperHearing channeling Light to his ears]], ends up overhearing an older couple having TheImmodestOrgasm. He immediately wishes that he didn't have this image in his head.

--> “You make me coffee,” [[spoiler:Cassandra finally said, giving me a smile]]. “[[spoiler:I think I’ll keep you]].”\\\
I smirked at that. “[[spoiler:After last night, I certainly hope so]].”\\\
Lauren looked back and forth between us before saying, “That’s more than I needed to know.”

-->'''Pete:''' -Too much inform-

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Ed does this from time to time.
** In "High-Heeled Ed", Eddy decides that since Sarah, Nazz, and Jimmy are the only kids around to scam, they need to cook up a scheme with more feminine appeal than their sewer raft ride:

'''Ed:''' I found my sensitive side 'cause it has a rash!\\
'''Eddy:''' Ugh!\\

* The Mayor in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':
--> '''Mayor:''' A "Beefy Betty" doll! I've always wanted one of these.\\
'''Narrator:''' TMI, Mayor... Too much information!
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** In "Stewie B. Goode", we get this moment from Lois:
---> '''Lois:''' Yes, women are such teases. That's why I went back to men.\\
'''Meg:''' Yeah, uh, well, thanks for sharing that... ''(leaves room)''\\
'''Chris:''' ''[scoots closer to Lois]'' [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Go on]].
** In "Road to Europe", Stewie bemoans his life in the house compared to his favorite TV show when Peter and Lois have a personal conversation while packing for a trip.
---> '''Peter:''' I'm packing for KISS-Stock and I can't find my favorite underwear.\\
'''Lois:''' You mean the pair with the rip in the right buttcheek from when you stepped on 'em pulling 'em up in that airplane bathroom from when you had the trots?\\
'''Peter:''' No, no, the pair in the ''left'' buttcheek from when I held it in for two hours 'cause it was that extra-long Palm Sunday church sermon and I thought blowing gas would offend Jesus, so I let 'er go in the vestibule after mass and it sounded like Louie Armstrong.\\
'''Lois:''' Oh, bottom drawer.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks''

'''Apu:''' (''annoyed'') Will you stop spouting those hackneyed quips!

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible: So The Drama'':
--> '''Ron:''' Augh! You kissed a synthodrone!\\
'''Kim:''' I never kissed him. But I wanted to.\\
'''Ron:''' Okay, too much information.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', the official measure of penis size is called "TMI." (This is likely a play on "BMI," an actual measure of weight).
** In "Imaginationland" Steven Stotch gives a little ''too'' much information on what he thinks has happened to Butters.
---> '''Steven Stotch:''' "We don't want to jump to conclusions but... we're worried that somebody kidnapped Butters, sodomised him over and over an-d then fed his genitals to wild animals."
** "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" has a running gag where two graveyard employees just assume whoever stole Kyle's grandmother's corpse is a necrophiliac and go into way too much detail about what they think he might be doing with the body. Including one demonstration of what they think it might sound like using their fists and a jar of mayonnaise.
** In "Le Petit Tourette" Cartman fakes having Tourette's Syndrome as an excuse to swear as much as he likes. However, as time goes on, him saying whatever he likes at any time causes him to lose his ability to filter what comes so out of his mouth, so he starts to involuntarily blurt out embarrassing things about himself, like how he wets the bed, how he and his cousin once touched wieners, and that he was lying about having Tourette's Syndrome.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong,'' Fu Dog names this trope to keep Lao Shi from talking about an... interesting... experience from his youth; "TMI! Know what that stands for? Too Much Information!"

* This from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' episode "Carl Wheezer Boy Genius":

--> '''Sheen:''' (covering Carl's mouth) TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
* In the ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' episode "Date Night", Jet is looking at pictures of Carrot and Celery on their first date. He sees a picture of them about to kiss and is promptly disgusted. Then, he has this to say:
--> '''Jet:''' Woah, okay! This is too much. That's enough, mom and dad!
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** Fry is prone to this due to his CloudCuckoolander nature.
---> '''Fry:''' (''seeing a 90s car'') Hey, my girlfriend had one of those. Actually, it wasn't hers, it was her dad's. And actually she wasn't my girlfriend, she just lived next door and never closed her curtains.\\
'''Leela:''' Fry, remember when I told you about always ending your stories a sentence earlier?
** In "Crimes of the Hot," Farnsworth's speech to a scientific conference confessing his role in creating the current environmental crisis is conveyed via flashback to his time with his former boss and OldFlame Mom.
---> '''Fry:''' That's awful, Professor. Especially the making out part.\\
'''[[ItMakesSenseInContext Al Gore's head]]:''' Yeah, I didn't need to hear that.
** Bender does this very purposely.
---> '''Bender:''' The mob did it! I saw the whole thing [[TooDumbToLive while also having hot sex with the Don-Bot's daughter!]] (''sobbing'') I'm scared and ''great at sex!''\\
'''Leela:''' Bender, you need to go to the police and give them a tastefully-edited version of what you just said.

-->'''Fanboy:''' Okay, I did not need to know that.

* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' gave us this (paraphrased) example during one of the quests:

'''Captain Donnie:''' Well, I was drinking rubbing alcohol mixed with gunpowder and cinnamon when...\\
'''Player Character:''' I'm leaving now.
* In the third ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' game, Mr. Grossberg's "gut feelings" about how the case is going come from a lot lower than his gut. And he tells you about it every five minutes. It's his hemorrhoids. After the case, Mia asks him to stop talking about them.
** Also Phoenix's recurring defense line of proving an unidentified person in a mask/costume/uniform not to be the defendant goes along the lines ''"Anyone could wear that! Even me!"''. In case [[spoiler:3-3]], it culminates in him saying the same about a [[{{Crossdresser}} waitress uniform]]. The judge requests to spare the court from further [[FanDisservice mental anguish from the image]].
* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'':
-->'''[[FakeUltimateHero Captain Qwark]]:''' I thought we agreed to put that jungle business behind us!\\
'''Skrunch:''' [MONKEY NOISE]\\
'''Qwark:''' [[InterspeciesRomance It was mating season!]] [[MySisterIsOffLimits How could I have known she was your sister?]]\\
''(notices Ratchet and Clank, laughs nervously)''\\
'''Qwark:''' How long have you two been standing there?\\
'''Clank:''' Too long.
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'': "Some krogan believe that testicle transplants will improve their virility, counteract the effects of the genophage. It doesn't work, but that doesn't stop them from buying. They'll pay ten thousand credits for each one -- [[BizarreAlienBiology that's forty thousand for a whole set.]] [[CutLexLuthorACheck Someone's making a killing out there.]]"
** Shepard says this to [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Thane]] when he's describing the drell race's ability to perfectly recall any memory.
--->'''Thane:''' Thinking about a moment brings back the smell of cut grass, the warmth of another hand on yours, the taste of another's tongue in your mouth. Wouldn't you rather lose yourself in such a memory, rather than spend a night alone?\\
'''Shepard:''' Isn't that a rather personal memory to talk about?
** In [[VideoGame/MassEffect3 the third game]], Liara has this reaction to her father [[spoiler:Matriarch Aethyta]] reminiscing about her mother "Nezzy"'s [[BuxomBeautyStandard magnificent rack]], complete with WolfWhistle.
--->'''Liara:''' You don't need to tell me everything.
** This is also James' reaction to being told by EDI that [[InterspeciesRomance Shepard and Tali got together]] in the last game (if that's the case). Followed by a sarcastic [[UnwantedAssistance "Thank you, EDI"]] from Shepard.
** Eve complains that she ''really'' gets upset when Mordin, discussing her treatment, starts rambling on about the many ways she could die horribly.

* ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory'': [[Webcomic/PennyArcade Tycho]] has a bad habit of inserting his highly detailed [[BestialityIsDepraved animal fetishes]] into the conversation.
-->'''Strong Bad:''' ''(singing)'' Too much information, man. You're Too-Much-Information Man.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'', most characters have a {{Boss Subtitle|s}} that describes a little about them, like Mordecai "The Hunter" or Marcus Kinkaid (No Refunds!). Guess what boss character Nine-Toes' title is? ''"Also, he has three balls."'' Yeah, we ''really'' didn't need to know that.
** Then in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', a conversation can be heard in the Crimson Raider base between the original vault hunters:
--->'''Lilith:''' ''(talking to Roland)'' If you die, I'm going to be really pissed!\\
'''Roland:''' Noted...\\
'''Lilith:''' ...And if you live, I'm tearing those clothes right off your body.\\
'''Roland:''' Also noted.\\
'''Mordecai:''' Eegh, Lilith. Nobody wants to hear that!\\
'''Brick:''' ''(lewdly)'' Go on...
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': A TMI conversation actually happens ''after'' the female [[HelloInsertNameHere Avatar]] walks in on [[LoveableRogue Gaius]] in the bath.
-->'''Avatar:''' Gaius, I am SO sorry about earlier! I had no idea you were in the bath...\\
'''Gaius:''' Aw, no worries. At least I hadn't taken off my smallclothes yet, eh? Er, but I did want to mention I'm usually in much better shape. With the stress of this blasted war, I've been eatin' more sweets than usual. Usually, I'm a real piece of eye candy. Belly like a washboard, glutes like a lumberja--\\
'''Avatar:''' Okay, then!
* ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'': After beating Canary Mary in a minecart race, Mary rewards Banjo and Kazooie with a Jiggy, stating that it was wedged under her wing for days, much to Kazooie's disgust. Later, when they win a rematch and win a Cheato page, Mary begins to say where it was wedged in, and Kazooie promptly shuts her up.

* Part of the ending of ''Spandex Force'' is the following exchange.

* ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'' has the renowned "Netherworld's ultimate zombie", featuring "the fists of a Dark Karate master, the legs of the fastest demon in the Netherworld, the brain of Mahogany, a famous sorcerer, the iron body of Hercules...and ''a horse wiener''". Notably, only the latter freaks Laharl out, but barely for just being "too much information", rather for being an ''equippable item'' that gives a significant power boost while on the first playthrough.
* Happens in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Golden'' if the MC goes gets lost with Naoto during the ski trip. When they end up holed up in an abandoned cottage and forced to wait out a blizzard, Naoto awkwardly blurts out that the "[[IntimateHealing huddling together to share body heat]]" thing only works if your clothes are wet or one person has a dangerously low body temperature, before realizing that the advice was completely unsolicited.
* ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' has an exchange between Captain Cold and The Flash:
-->'''Captain Cold:''' Good thing you're wearing longjohns.\\
'''The Flash:''' [[GoingCommando I'm totally commando under here!]]\\
'''Captain Cold:''' ...ugh, ''TMI''!
* In ''Captain Brawe: A Brave New World'' Brawe complains that the universal translator isn't working, only for Kralje to point out that it's because Brawe rerouted the power so he could have hot water in his shower.
-->'''Captain Brawe:''' I believe that a HOT PATRIOTIC heart must beat in a HOT PATRIOTIC body!\\
'''Kralje:''' You have no idea how little I wanted to know that.
* ''VideoGame/MadWorld'' has this exchange between the commentators.
-->'''Kreese''': Solid hit! [Jack] should try for a double!\\
'''Howard''': I had a double with [[BestialityIsDepraved a donkey]] and a dwarf. Walked with a limp for a week, but the dwarf grew six inches [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre if you know what I mean]]!\\
'''Kreese''': I know too much already~~!
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'': Poor Michael has this reaction when his son Jimmy tells him the definition of {{Trolling}} which, among other things, involves the latter [[DudeNotFunny making fun of a another man's newborn]].
-->'''Jimmy:''' And I'm all like. "It's actually a miracle I survived seeing a picture of its ugly..."\\
'''Michael:''' ENOUGH, alright, e-fucking-nough! I get it.

* In a scene of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', Asuna has this reaction to Makie's... reports... about Negi's "reaction" to them having to squeeze him (while naked) against a wall behind them both, while in the girls' shower, to keep his presence there a secret.
-->'''Makie:''' I think he just "grew".\\
'''Asuna:''' [[AC:You don't have to report that to me!]]
** One of the few places where the translation improves on this:
--->'''Makie:''' Negi-kun's you-know-what is touching my you-know-where!\\
'''Asuna:''' [[AC:You don't have to report that kind of thing to me!]]\\
'''Makie:''' I think his you-know-what just got [[BuffySpeak you-know-whatter]]!\\
'''Asuna:''' [[AC:Hey! Stop making stuff up!]]
** There is also a scene where Jack Rakan walks away and loudly says he needs to take a number 2, leaving everyone yelling in disgust. [[spoiler:He is lying, though.]]

* Lampshaded in ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' with Aesop, who has "sporadic anal enlargement syndrome". On the toilet, writhing in agony, he shouts, "Oh, it's big!". Excel immediately runs away. Hyatt, oblivious, asks "What is big?" Excel drags her away and tells her not to ask. The toilet appears out of nowhere in the middle of a baseball field just to make this joke.
* It's a well known fact in the ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' universe that Shinra Kishitani is a kinky little bugger. About 90% of this can be attributed to the fact that Shinra is happy to tell ''anyone'' about whatever dirty thought comes to mind. [[VitriolicBestBuds Shizuo]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Celty]] have both tried to beat this habit out of him. [[TooKinkyToTorture This only encourages him]].
** Erika Karisawa has no problem with telling her friends that she fantasizes about them having gay sex.
* ''Anime/UltimateMuscle'': Suichin and Gazelleman state this (In the dub) when they learn [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} Sunshine]] wears earplugs and panda jammies to bed.

* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' is really fond of this on multiple occasions. For instance, the episode about poor hygiene at Shinsengumi toilets and ''really'' meticulous explanation as to why.
* In ''Literature/RebuildWorld'', this is Akira's reaction when Alpha tells him that he might get reduced to a BrainInAJar if the government finds out about this ability to connect to the Old World domain. He isn't sure whether it's better for him to know or not know about this.
-->'''Akira:''' ''[panicking]'' ...You shouldn't have told me. Wait, I guess it's better for me to know in case they capture me. [[RapidFireNo No, no no no]], as I thought it's better if I don't know...
* In ''Literature/SoICantPlayH'', Ryousuke's mother tells the story of how she and his father met. It's really heartwarming... until she says that they had sex that very same night, causing Ryousuke to complain that it ruined the moment.
* ''Literature/DoYouLoveYourMomAndHerTwoHitMultiTargetAttacks'': Mamako's clothes [[TheNudifier get dissolved by a Slime's attacks]]. She complains, saying she was wearing a thong. Her son Masato says he didn't need to hear that.
* In the manga version of ''Manga/SgtFrog'', Fuyuki reads a New Year's card addressed to Aki saying "May your panties be of snakeskin," and regrets doing so.
* ''Manga/AhAndMmAreAllSheSays'': While {{hentai}} authors certainly know the "utility" of their work, they still have this response when someone tells them that they "used" their work.
* As [[StudentCouncilPresident Misa]] is trying out [[SweetBaker Moe]]'s pancakes during the first SchoolFestival arc of ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', [[LovableSexManiac Moe]] added that the pancakes are honey-and-milk flavoured, inspired by Ao's hair ([[PervertedSniffing that she sniffed]] the [[ContinuityNod previous chapter]]). Ao, who is nearby, is a bit shocked.
--> '''Ao:''' Suzu, you don't have to share ''that'' with her?
* Early on in ''Manga/ICantBelieveISleptWithYou'', Chiyo Koduka's landlady makes an agreement with her- in exchange for doing 21 favors for her, she'll forgive ¥210,000 in back rent. The landlady then mentions that she's 19 and [[LikesOlderWomen into older women]], and Chiyo thinks, "TMI!" in the localization.

* To judge by Sonya's expression in [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/goodie-goodie_facade the last panel of this]] ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' strip, Yuki is telling her [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence more]] about their recent SlapSlapKiss interlude than Sonya is happy knowing...

** "[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110420 The Master's bedroom only sleeps six]]."

* [[http://www.vexxarr.com/archive.php?seldate=022009 This]] ''Webcomic/{{Vexxarr}}'' page...
-->"Thank you. You put me in the happy position of realizing that I really don't want to know...yet spared me the burden of knowing exactly why."
* In ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20010617.html This strip]] has the narrator keep changing the scene because everybody is talking about things you ''really'' don't want to hear about. Finally, he ends up with Schlock explaining the inner workings of carboscilicate amorph reproduction to Admiral Breya -- or rather, him wrapping up such an explanation. The narrator comments: "That was either too much, or too little information. Either way, it's disturbing." The last one was arguably too little information; it turns out not to be disgusting at all -- just a bit creepy.
** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-11-30 Gerbils are better than rats]]. On the next page, Schlock describes the differences he noticed and Brad gets "disturbed in a visceral way".
** "[[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-11-21 Objection, Your Honor. Too much information.]]"
* In [[http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20010905.html this strip]] from ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'', Uncle Wisebottom is telling Nick about the physical side-effects of the Inventor's Gene (Read: ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder) and mentions the effect it may have on the sex life. Noticing Nick and Ki's facial expressions, he archly comments "So… which is more embarrassing: Me talking about YOUR future sex life or the thought of ME having sex?"

* [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/07/30/ This]] ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip is very much TMI about ''Franchise/StarWars''.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0188.html As seen in the page quote]], this is Roy's reaction when, in response to his question about how the dragon they'd encountered was known to be a young adult, Durkon holds up the dragon nudie mags they'd found under his hoard.
** Likewise, the prequel book ''Start of Darkness'' includes a scene where the still-human [[BigBad Xykon]] is telling [[TheDragon Redcloak]] and his brother Right-Eye that he needs to "drain some charges from the wand" because these days his prostate is "the size of a baby's head". Redcloak (and the reader) really, really didn't need that mental picture.
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
** Marten gives as good as he gets when he meets his then-girlfriend's father, who learns that Marten's mother is a famous fetish model:
---> '''Peter:''' Holy shit kid, I musta whacked it to your mom's pictures a million friggin' times! --That... that was prob'ly too much information, huh.\\
'''Marten:''' It's okay. Your daughter has put my penis in her mouth.\\
'''Peter:''' Touché, kid. Touché.
** [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1672 In #1672]], Marten drops a mention of his and Dora's sex life, which Faye does not appreciate.
--->'''Faye:''' Jesus Christ, you're like a goddamn Predator drone. You wait for Dora to set you up, and then you come in outta nowhere and drop a fuckin' tactical TMI on my head.
** In [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2579 #2579]], Tai starts describing a "giant hairy mole" to Dora, who cuts her off.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', Ash's father sometimes indulges in this, being the local gynecologist and only remembering women by their… [[CountryMatters parts…]]

* ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'': [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Dragon_Doctors/index.php?p=729796 "You ask a surgeon for the dirty details, you're going to get them."]]
* ''Webcomic/MiscellaneousError'': [[http://miscerror.thecomicseries.com/comics/2/ sometimes, you just don't want to know what your children do at school]].
* In [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/fringe-paranormals/ this]] (warning! spoilers) strip of ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'', Justin goes into a little too much detail about something that a previous girlfriend had him do.
** Slightly lighter note: Monica's catching up with an old friend and makes the mistake of asking him about [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/12152003/ a nickname he's acquired]].
* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'' occasionally have things like this. When Mrs. Delacroix, with a nostalgic [[LuminescentBlush blush]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20110126.html mentions]] her... fond memories of Chloe's mother, following by a mass JawDrop and Brooke covering Nina's ears. For that matter, Chloe's mother, as an adult [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]], can give a lot of qualified [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/What%20is%20it%20succu-bun good advice]] -- even hints on which make Chloe's face a little off.
-->'''Adora:''' ...can be used as a fun grown-up game for your... uh...

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' got a few. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050523 Agatha's brief career]] in fortune-telling; [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080512 Mamma Gkika]]; the "[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100602 family history]]" Ol' Man Death shared with his granddaughter ("Tsk. Poor sensitive child.")
* ''Webcomic/ThreePanelSoul''. "[[http://threepanelsoul.com/2010/06/14/on-the-direct-question-reflex/ On the Direct Question Reflex]]".
* ''Webcomic/AkiChansLife'', when Ritsuko points that Asuka may be a virgin mother… [[http://jimmywolk.studenten-froendenberg.de/eng/aki.php?browse.2.30]]
* ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'': Pretty much any scene involving Ruby (who is basically something between a deconstructed {{Ingenue}}, a SourPrude, and a ButtMonkey) can end with her learning more than she wanted to know -- especially if her sister Amber's private life is involved, though anything involving gay sex is also well out of her comfort zone, and CampGay Dillon doesn't always know when to shut up. As she puts it, hanging around with Dillon and Amber [[http://www.stickydillybuns.com/strips-sdb/you_will_always_be_my_favorite_girl "is like tuning my TV to the 'Uncomfortable Realizations Channel,' 24-7".]] The next problem for her is that she becomes increasingly fascinated by sex, specifically [[GuyOnGuyIsHot gay male sex]], without quite losing this reaction. Hence she ends up [[http://www.stickydillybuns.com/strips-sdb/between_two_men asking Angel about Angel's rather complex sexuality]] -- but [[http://www.stickydillybuns.com/strips-sdb/now_is_good her brain melts when Angel answers.]]
* As Sandra says in this ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' strip, "[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/09/08/0306-too-much-information/ Tell me less]]".
** Richard's [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/06/03/1088-mixed-feelings/ reaction]] to Sandra discussing her kiss with Cloud:
--->'''Sandra:''' My tongue is still completely numb!\\
'''Richard:''' I really didn’t need to know that!
** Cloud gets a taste of this when he asks [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/01/21/1052-core-memory/ if there's anything adults enjoy that they hated as children]] just as his mom happens to be walking past.
* ''Webcomic/HeroOhHero''[='s=] [[http://www.neorice.com/hoh_248 Noah]] isn't impressed when one of his classmates starts describing his dreams.
--> "STOP! And never speak of this again."

* [[https://derpibooru.org/836141 This]] ''Celestia's Servant Interview'' comic ends with an anonymous questioner asking what Trixie thinks of the fact that she's been drawn as an anthro with the MostCommonSuperpower. Trixie is... stunned.
* In ''Webcomic/LeftoverSoup'' Jaimie [[http://leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=482 tells a little too much]] to Gina.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'', when the Oracular Slug is telling his backstory:
-->'''Oracular Slug:''' Coupla hundred years ago, see, there was this local druid chap. Madder than a mayfly. Hairier than a caterpillar. His back looked like the underside of a sheep.\\
'''Digger:''' I don't think I need this level of detail.\\
'''Oracular Slug:''' Too bad.
* In the ''Webcomic/BatmanWayneFamilyAdventures'' episode "TMI", Batman flirtations with Catwoman is interrupted when Spoiler freaks out. As it turns out, Bruce left his comms on and Steph, Tim, Barbara, Jason and Damian all heard him, though [[ChildrenAreInnocent Damian is just confused]].

* ''Series/GothamKnights2023'': Duela tells Harper gleefully of having sex with Turner ("riding the Bat-wang" as she puts it) several times in the library, including where Harper's preferred books are, to her increasing horror. Harper ends up covering her ears over this. Cullen is less than pleased at hearing about it later too, though not to Harper's extent, and Carrie jokes that she'll never banish the mental image of them having sex when he tells her.

** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-11-30 Gerbils are better than rats]]. On the next page, Schlock describes the differences he noticed and Tagon gets "disturbed in a visceral way".

Compare with BreadEggsMilkSquick and EmbarrassingCoverUp. Sometimes followed by NeverSayThatAgain, IgnoringBySinging, BrainBleach, or ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject. Can be a result of DirtyMindReading or ShowDontTell taken too far. Not related to ''Literature/MoreInformationThanYouRequire''. Contrast YouDontWantToKnow and DontAsk. Similar to SayingTooMuch. Not to be confused with IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou, which involves giving away too much information that was supposed to be secret. If it's ''literally'' too much information or knowing it is harmful rather than just unpleasant, that's MySkullRunnethOver or TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow.

* Never sit behind old women on a bus. Really. Similarly, never mention the word "prostate" around men over 50.
* It's found on many Medical-related humor lists that a sign that you're in the Medical Profession is that ''You see no problems in discussing graphic medical problems over food, especially if it's something like meaty dishes or Spaghetti and meatballs''.
** Pathologists seem to have a particular knack for this, as well as, say, demonstrating the flexibility of a trachea. Apparently, some professionals of the ''postmortem'' medicine have a running competition regarding who can get the most hapless interns to faint.
* [[AllNaturalSnakeOil The Cure-Zone forums/discussion area]] is notorious for this. A very common quack cure discussed there are various types of "colon cleansing." You will learn ''far'' more about other people's bowel habits and bowel movements than you EVER want to know.
* People who have autistic spectrum disorders may not always know when something is inappropriate (due to their blindness to social cues) and can invoke this trope.
* Often occurs between friends of any combination of gender and/or sexuality when the details of sexual encounters are brought up in conversation.
** Which leads to a long-standing joke that, if a woman wants to get out of work (and has a male boss), all she needs to cite are "lady problems", and he'll quickly give her the day off to avoid hearing the {{Squick}}y details.
* Don't ask [[Music/HidetoMatsumoto hide]] fans how he died. If they say "it was an accident" rather than "it was suicide," TAKE THAT AT FACE VALUE. If you ask "what kind of accident," you ''will'' likely learn [[EroticAsphyxiation what kind]] of accident those fans think it was.
* Music/MinoruNiihara from the band Music/{{Loudness}}. Do NOT read his personal blog unless you want to become very intimately acquainted with the problems of his anus.
* In her last Oscars special, Barbara Walters got ''{{Film/Precious}}'' actress Mo'Nique to reveal that A) she hasn't shaved her legs since the first time she tried it (the actual shaving bit wasn't bad, it was the hairs ''growing back'' that hurt), B) she's in an open relationship with her husband, and C) [[BreadEggsMilkSquick she got "inspiration" for Mary Jones]] from [[BrotherSisterIncest a brother]] who she hasn't talked to since he apparently squicked her out while holding one of her newborn twins.
* There are people who give too much information in their tweets. Made fun of in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/04/23/le-twittre Penny Arcade]].
** Similarly, Facebook or Foursquare.
*** Or any social networking site, for that matter.
* For good or ill, after children grow up to become adults there is often a sudden revelation of things that have been going on around the family that they wish they had never found out about. Examples include finding out about the sex lives of the new adult's parents or that a family member that they liked is really a sex offender.
* In June 2010, UsefulNotes/NewZealand Prime Minister John Key was interrogated by media over his cuts to early childhood teacher numbers. When asked if he was happy to send his own children to a centre with fewer qualified teachers, he reminded media that his children were teenagers, and when asked what if he and his wife had another child, he replied: [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe "I would be extremely worried because I've had a vasectomy"]]. In a later interview, Key also remarked that he had a [[http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11531913 tendency to urinate in the shower]].
* Be very careful what you ask a pregnant woman or new mother about the health of her or her child. The number of embarrassing questions they have to answer, combined with more medical appointments than she'd likely had in her whole adult life up to that point, means that pregnant women often forget that people generally don't want to hear about, for example, blood and discharge, stitches or ''anyone's'' bowel movements.
* People who have a poor sense of personal boundaries are prone to this.

Named after a typical response for such information, usually abbreviated to [=TMI=] in ValleyGirl speak.
