Its not what you think!

[skitzo van]

I just looked up twilight for guys after I heard some people saying how it was funny, and as I was watching it my mother came in and asked what I was watching. I had to explain to her what twilight was, and why it was a parody.
So this has probably been done before, but what have you been caught watching that seemed like pornography but wasn't?

"Seemed like pornography but wasn't?" No, never had a situation like that before.

I did, however, manage to convince my aunt to buy me "Assassin's Creed 2". She didn't think the idea of being a murder seemed "uplifting" for me. Ignoring the fact that I've pointed out to her multiple times that 70% of her DVD collections are murder mysteries, half of which are more grisly than what I commit in games, I sugarcoated the concept by asserting that "it's not random murder; it's Venitian intrigue". Not only did I succeed in getting the game, she also got me the collector' edition.

Good convincing skills there, man.


On topic, I'd have to say "Dead or Alive" and work my way down. I could just issue a blanket statement and say "nearly every Japanese game I have ever played in the history of ever", but that would be unfair to the Japanese games I actually like (aforementioned Dead or Alive, Persona 3 and 4 and Final Fantasy Tactics off the top off my head).

you're right, this thread isn't what i thought it would be.

OT: no, I've never been in any situation like that.

I missed the transition here... Why would a twilight parody look like its pornographic?

 

[no oneder]

Not even close. But once though, my mom went into my room while I was... doing it... so much worse.

 

[Unesh52]

Just about every movie I ever watch. Somehow my parents always manage to walk in on the only part in the whole movie that involves sex.

For e.g.: My mom and I decided to watch Hostel because I wanted to watch her get all freaked out by the gore (well, that's why I decided to watch it). During the first 30 minutes there are almost constantly a set of boobs on-screen, wrapping it up with a perplexing scene involving a guy getting it hardcore from what I believe is a prostitute in the back-ground of a completely oblivious and otherwise normal conversation. She walked out. There wasn't a nipple to be seen for the entire remainder of the movie. WTH?

EDIT:

You probably just missed that part in Twilight where every main character is a horny, teenage sex symbol. It comes in right in the middle of THE WHOLE THING.

I was watching one of Yahtzee's reviews... at the counter. My dad was sitting at the table behind me and my mom was in the kitchen in front of me.

My dad said "what are you watching, and did that guy just fuck a dog?"

I said "its a comedy dad. He's a game critic"

Needless to say my mom who couldn't see what i was watching didn't know it was a block figure cartoon... she gave me a weird look.

 

[RatRace123]

Well, I was once watching this thing that looked like porn... it was.

Beyond that, I once watched an episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd. My parents heard him doing hid usual shtick about some sort of animal's fecal matter and that brought some questions.

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

uhhhhh...
the beginning of zombieland?
Or,

nearly every Japanese game I have ever played in the history of ever

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Hm...I remember one time a few months ago there was this controversy about a football player who took photos of his girlfriend in the shower and shared them around the clubs and it became public. Because it was so popular the first google suggestions where "*football players girlfriend name* nude shower photos" and stuff like that. I had to explain to my dad what suggestions were.

Also I used to watch a whole lot of Dexter, and one time my dad walked in on the only sex scene in the season so far...that was kind of awkward.

I once convinced my mom to rent me a game 2 years back and i forget what it was but she decided to watch me play the first few minutes because she was folding laundry and in the first cutscene there was a boob and my mom was like WTF IS THIS **** and proceded to shut off my xbox.

(i believe the game was a horror game.)

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

The sex scene in the Watchmen movie (between Night Owl and Silk Spectre) was incredibly long. I was like "Wow, if my Mom/Dad/Brother walks in right now it will be really fucking awkward"

 

[Rylot]

Not anything like porn, but been caught with actual porn. Worst thing ever.

 

[Tartarga]

For me it was the anime Kanokon. I was watching the dvd version which anyone else who has seen it will know that it may be the most perverted anime of all time.

I'm living with my parents for the summer, and my mom was in the room with me the whole time I was playing Samara's loyalty quest in Mass Effect 2, where you seduce Morinth. Personally I don't think it's even that raunchy or explicit, but mom apparently thought it was - this was made worse by the fact that I'm a chick, and after every sexy speech check my mom would piped up with "Is your character a lesbian? Why are you playing a lesbian? Are you a lesbian??"

American Psycho when he's doing the woman from behind on his bed.

 

[WorldCritic]

Never had that problem, the only thing that I ever had to talk my way out of because of a game was when my sister came in just as I shot a Super Mutant's head off in Fallout 3. After she saw all of the blood she freaked out so I had to explain what it waas. Then she left the room saying, "I swear I'm adopted."

I'm living with my parents for the summer, and the other day my mom was in the room with me the whole time I was playing Samara's loyalty quest in Mass Effect 2, where you seduce Morinth. Personally I don't think it's even that sexy or explicit, but mom apparently thought it was - this was made worse by the fact that I'm a chick, and every couple of minutes she would go "Is your character a lesbian? Why are you playing a lesbian? Are you a lesbian??"

I had a similar situation to that, me and a friend were playing Fable two and I was trying to annoy him. I found out one of the male salesmen was in love with the character, I yelled to my friend, "Lets marry him! Lets marry the hell out of him!" and my mother walked in. I wonder how many stories I have that include "then my mother walked in"...
