Freudian Slippery Slope

Nobody ever wants to be the keynote speaker at the annual convention of the Society for Sufferers of Chronic Freudian Slip Syndrome. I wonder why?

"Good evening. I'd like to talk to you tonight about the place of the nude in my bed. Um — in the history of my bed — of art, of art, I'm sorry. The place of the nude in the history of tart — call-girl — I'm sorry, I'll start again. (Beat) Bum — oh, what a giveaway!"

— An Art Critic, as played by Michael Palin, Monty Python's Flying Circus — "Full-Frontal Nudity"

Sometimes a character in a book or show — or even the author of the work — has a lot on their mind. And try their best, they just can't stop blurting it out in a Freudian Slip, at all. And of course, That Came Out Wrong and any attempt to stop the flow just results in more vulgarities. If they're trying to impress someone, they're just plain out of luck. Of course, those with a Hair-Trigger Temper will always interpret the error as intentional. If you're discussing matters with a stranger, you'll be mistaken for a pervert.

Similar to Digging Yourself Deeper and Ignore the Disability, which it tends to be used in conjunction with. However, in Ignore the Disability, the humor comes from an uptight member of society inadvertently mentioning an embarrassing or nude peculiarity they had taken pains to avoid, and in Digging Yourself Deeper it comes from the words used being poorly-chosen, rather than slipping out of the subconscious.

Compare Accidental Innuendo, when a person has control over what they say but doesn't realize any Double Entendres that they just spouted.

Fan Works

• This Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfic is an egregious example of this. Repeatedly.
• Fever Dreams has poor drunk Matsuda...
  Matsuda: It was so horrible. I—I feel like I've violated Misa-Misa just by listening to those lies being told to her... I don't want to have sex with two men and Misa-Misa at the same time... (*everyone stares*) No, no, I'm not with this guy, he's just my friend who has sex with my other male friend. I really like women a lot and any women who want to be with me, I'll respect them incredibly hard and skillfully with all the right respectful lines that I'm going to learn.
  Light: I don't think you should return to this bar anytime soon.
• In Turnabout Storm, Phoenix can't help but to mention eyes when talking with Derpy Hooves. It gets to the point that he just starts saying "me" instead of "eye"—EYE MEAN "I"!
• In Concentration (Ratt9) Matsuda asks Light a question while he's busy working on the Kira case:
  Matsuda {wearing an ugly suit): Hey, Light-kun.
  Light: What is it?
  Matsuda: Uhh, you're good with girls, right?
  Light: (thinking: Hell yeah, I have!) Well, I have had quite a few girlfriends over the years. So, I guess you could say that.
  Matsuda: Well, you see... I'm going on a date with someone in an hour, and, uh, I was sort of wondering if you could give me some advice...
  Light: (thinking: Well, that explains the ugly suit.) Oh, sure. Do you want to learn how to make her like you, or how to make her want to knock you over and fuck you into a mattress? Because I'm fairly good at both.
  The reality that he had quite possibly just said the most awkward thing in his life hit Light when the sound of chairs scraping against the floor reverberated all through the room as everyone in the task force turned to stare at him.
  • And Light continues Digging Himself In Deeper when he gives Matsuda lessons on the art of seduction:
    Light: I'll demonstrate with Ryuzaki. As absurd and seemingly impossible it is to imagine, just pretend that he's some nice, beautiful young girl, and you want to date her.
• Empath speaking to Smurfette in the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf story "I Dream Of Smurfette".
  Smurfette: Empath, what's the matter? You seem to smurf rather nervous about talking of that night.
  Empath: Oh...well, it's just a little something that rises...I mean, raises this smurf's interest in you, Smurfette. Frankly, this smurf was also thinking of you last night, that you were part of this smurf's dreams.
  Smurfette: Really? I hope it's not the same kind of dream that every Smurf says they have about me.
  Empath: Uh, of course not, Smurfette. This smurf would never insert myself into you...I mean, insert you into this smurf's dreams like that to...uh, do anything to you...that is, uh, of that kind of nature.
  Smurfette: You are the new Smurf around here, so I guess if you even smurfed that kind of dream, I would just think it would be natural for you to smurf it. I'm sorry for bothering you about it, Empath. I should have known that such things wouldn't be what you would smurf during your time in Psychelia.
  Empath: That's how it is in Psychelia, Smurfette. We're trained to have our thoughts free of anything that would be distracting. This smurf was very sex full...I mean, successful at it before returning home for you...uh, for good.
• In the Star Trek: Enterprise Parody Fic, "Farce Contact", Captain Archer is making First Contact with a Living Aphrodisiac.

• In National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Clark Griswold is shopping at a department store and tries to make small talk with a buxom female sales clerk at the lingerie counter. The trope is duly employed.
  "I was just smelling... smiling! I was just blouse... browsing!"
  "It wouldn't be the Christmas shopping season if the stores were any less hooter than... hotter than they are!"
  "It's a bit nipply out... I mean nippy out! HA, HA, HA! What did I say, nipple?"
  "There are plenty of shopping days until adultery... adulthood. Which is to say, Christmas. As in, Yule. Yule Log. Not a log, I don't have a log, I mean, you know...If I had a log. Not in the sense that you think I said I did."

  Dodge: All right, look, gentlemen. I know this is an unusual situation. Can't be easy for Lt. Lake here to be thrown into a jungle such as this, and I know it will make things hard on all of us...
  Crew: [laughter]
  Dodge: Let me re-phrase that. It's going to make things difficult on all of us as well. But if we just work together as a team, I'm sure we can handle ourselves...
  Crew: [laughter]
  Dodge: Comport ourselves as professionals. That is all.

Literature

• The whole extended scene in Michael Moorcock's Elric Saga, in which the eponymous albino hero first finds the dread hellsword Stormbringer, a fearsome weapon that often acts according to an agenda of its own, without input from the person wielding it, which often over-rides the conscious will of its owner. To win this three-foot length of hard unyielding steel, Elric has to physically enter the Pulsating Cavern, a vertical slit-like aperture almost wholly concealed by a wild growth of gorse and thorn bushes. The Pulsating Cavern is body-warm, drips with glutinous viscous salty liquid, and its walls pulsate rhythmically and are suffused with unearthly pink-red light. A one-way membrane at the end must be broken through, and leads to a large round chamber, in which two swords hang in the air, in potentio. Elric then fights his nemesis, Yyrkoon. The losing sword in the fight, Stormbringer's twin Mournblade, howls with anguish and transforms into the scabbard for Stormbringer. Once plunged into and encased in the scabbard, Stormbringer becomes quiescent, and Elric may then leave the Cavern, his potency restored. Not sure if this subtle metaphor is all that obvious, Mike. Can you dumb it down a little?
• 2013's Boneland by Alan Garner is the continuation of his 1960 and 1963 novels The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and The Moon of Gomrath. The last book is a psychodrama that plays with the idea the events of the first two books might be complete fantasy created inside the head of Colin Whisterfield to deal with a series of shattering traumas in early adolescence. For instance, that the memory of being abducted by a black-magic witch straight out of the pages of a not-very-good fantasy story, and by her evil dwarf servant, masks a more "mundane" case of childhood sexual assault. The Dwarf did threaten him with penetration by a long rigid sword, and was even called Pelis The False—one letter away from... and the witch did greet him with "Welcome. Long have our teeth rusted seeking your flesh." He recalls being tied down, soiling himself and lying in immobile terror...
