"Wow, you sure are on the internet alot. Do you EVER study?"
I'm sure they'd give me 'the look' when they saw porn in my history, but its my computer, and I don't live with them.
They'd have to just deal with it.

The shock would break my mother's mind. There are some things best left unknown.
Thankfully she can't access my computer.

Well they'd certainly look at me in a different light. A much different light. And they thought I was just some average guy...

I've cleared all the "bad" parts from the history, so they wouldn't find anything interesting.

EDIT: Browsing history, not THE history.

They'd find out I like hip-hop and vidya gaemz. Big deal.

All eyebrow raising shiz I surf for is always done in privacy mode. Basically, I win at life.

Hopefully shame at having snooped through their 32 year old son's browsing history. Beyond that, who knows?

I hear that textbook publishers are working on that, though.

They'd go back a few pages then get bored trying to click through all the TV Tropes articles.

I don't really have anything interesting in my history. Incognito mode is perfectly adequate for my needs :)

Im not sure. If they just skim through it they wont care... but if they read carefully and search a little deeper and further back... They'll take my laptop

They would probably be surprised at all the pony related sites I visit. But that's it.

They wouldn't care for a few reasons.

A. Any adult content I look at is considered the normal type of sexual content
B. I am an adult. Adults look at the content mentioned in A.
C. I have nothing that would really concern them: Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, G+, my own site, some various webcomics and online shopping sites. Ooooh how scary.

Since my father's attitude to video games is, to quote him directly, "only for kids - everyone grows the fuck out of them by the time they're twelve!" and that stretches to pretty much all animation (gee, I wonder why they gave that kids show a certificate 18?), webcomics and anything else that can be even remotely considered 'for children' at first glance, I'm going to say it wouldn't go over well - even if he never found the porn.

As for my mother, the video games, webcomics and what-not wouldn't bother her. The porn sure would, though. Once, I was Photoshopping a dildo onto a horse to create my very own 'pornicorn' forum avatar (y'know, for the lulz.) I accidentally saved the image of the dildo instead of just copying it, but, this being my own personal laptop, I just let it be and forgot about it. Sadly, the filename 'dildo-red7.jpg' caught my mother's attention when she borrowed my laptop a few weeks later. I don't think we talked to each other for several weeks afterwards - not because it was awkward, but she would immediately pull a "YOU'RE HORRIBLE AND PERVERTED AND SICK AND WRONG AND AHHHHHHHHH!" on me as soon as I opened my mouth.

"I'm 20, mother, and it wasn't even dirty! It was a advert for a sex toy, for Christ's sake."

Funny story, the same thing happened when she was browsing my music folder and came across Sublime's song Date Rape. Thank God she was tech-savvy enough to recognise an MP3 file and not instantly assume I was date raping women and filming it.
