A humorous play on words not intended by the speaker. The accidental pun is exactly what it sounds like. While it has to be unintentional by the speaker in-story, it can be, and generally is, intended by the author. If the original speaker notices their pun after the fact, they will generally respond with "No pun intended," or something similar. If a Pungeon Master is nearby, they will almost always be pointed out. Oops, no pun intended. Often the closest The Comically Serious will ever come to telling a joke. Compare Innocent Innuendo, where listeners assume that something they hear has a deliberate hidden meaning, but actually it's unintended and unnoticed by the speaker. Then there's Accidental Innuendo, where the audience finds an unintended hidden meaning. |

Made in Abyss abbreviates to MiA, better known as the acronym for "Missing in Action." Coincidentally, the main character's mother is missing-presumed-dead at the bottom of a cave of horrors, and the heroes' primary goal is to find out what happened to her. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Mami Tomoe's name "Mami" means Mommy in Spanish and other languages like German. Considering her mentor role, it fits her. Whether this was accidental is hard to say, since "mama/mommy" is a somewhat universal word for mother, based on common baby-talk noises. | |

In episode 10 of Let's Go! Tamagotchi, the Gotchi King, a giant egg who can't laugh without it breaking his shell, assures Mametchi and his friends that he's taken steps to make sure he doesn't crack up. Ironically, that's what makes him laugh in the first place since he then realizes the pun about "cracking" up he just made by accident. | |

Quite a few in the Lost Tower in Pokémon Platinum making several "insensitive" puns without meaning to. When he encounters a young couple, he says that whoever decided to go on a date there is a "deadbeat". Later he says that he should be able to use an Escape Rope by tying it to a tombstone and rappelling out the window, and once he realizes how distasteful this is, he says he should cut away "before I dig myself a hole." | |

Every page for an individual Saints Row game begins with "The [number] of the Saints Row series". E.G., the page for Saints Row 2 begins with "The second of the Saints Row series". The accidental pun occurred when the third game was revealed to be titled Saints Row: The Third (which nominally represents the fact that the gang is called "The Third Street Saints", thus being an intentional pun that led to an accidental one). | |

Meta-example in the first chapter of Red Fire, Red Planet. There's a chief petty officer in the chapter named Sally Blackhawk, who the author's notes state is supposed to be of primarily Shoshoni Indian descent. The author's notes also state that, yes, "Chief Blackhawk" sounds like a really bad pun from that angle and that it wasn't intentional. | |

One episode of The Big Bang Theory has Sheldon and Amy start a rumor about having had sex to see if it would spread faster than a rumor about Amy starting an herb garden. Once the whole social group asks about them having sex, Amy states that their rumor has reached "Full penetration." Sheldon asks if the pun was intended, and she replies "No, happy accident." Later, Amy notes that Penny is asking for details about their supposed sexual encounter, and Sheldon says it's interesting that she's moved on to asking for a "blow by blow." Amy asks if the pun was intended, and Sheldon asks "What pun?" | |

In Homestuck, Terezi was named after the Azerbaijani name for the constellation Libra. However, when her name is correctly pronounced with this in mind (which, contrary to popular belief, would be more along the lines of "ter-REE-see"), it sounds very similar to a feminine version of "Tiresias" — the archetypical Blind Seer from Sophocles's Oedipus trilogy. | |

While Chuggaaconroy is known for intentionally making bad puns, he's made quite a few by accident: While fighting Kingfin in Super Luigi Galaxy he gets a Life Mushroom and says: "Hey, thank you! Look at that! How many bosses help you out like that? Kingfin, you are the king, man! [Beat] Actually, that wasn't even an intentional...[laughs] I didn't even intend to make that pun!" During episode 48 of Ōkami, when he's in the Water Dragon's belly, Chugga remarks that while the scenery and 'trees' are beautiful, the fact that they're the insides of a water dragon is gross. In Majora's Mask's Snowhead Temple (the main dungeon for Link's Goron form), Chugga says: "So this dungeon is off to a pretty rockin' start - I'm just making bad puns without even realizing it now". While at the Oho Oasis in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Merri ends up stealing his "shocking" pun and calls her out for "stealing his thunder". Quite a few in the Lost Tower in Pokémon Platinum making several "insensitive" puns without meaning to. When he encounters a young couple, he says that whoever decided to go on a date there is a "deadbeat". Later he says that he should be able to use an Escape Rope by tying it to a tombstone and rappelling out the window, and once he realizes how distasteful this is, he says he should cut away "before I dig myself a hole." |

Klive, the first boss of Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, is incapable of speaking a sentence without making an unintended horse pun. Since Klive is a Horse Man, it causes the titular heroine to snicker at his attempts to be intimidating, much to his chagrin. | |

A Super-Match posit on Match Game was "_______ Duty." The cast and crew were looking for other possibilities to fill in the blank ("Do Your Duty," "Civic Duty,") when someone offstage cracked "Howdy Duty." Gene Rayburn bought it and then discovered how hard he bit. | |

Sausage Party has Douche keep making accidental references to items that you'd find in a grocery store through the use of everyday sayings (Ex. "How do ya like them apples" or "Spill the beans"), causing whatever item he's referencing to show up and ask if they're talking about them. He gets progressively angrier and angrier as this goes on. | |

In Doki Doki Literature Club!, Monika apologises for accidentally making a pun about hanging when talking about someone who actually did hang herself. Mind you, she made the same kind of pun back when it actually happened, and Word of God has it (around 1:09 here; heavy spoilers) that was deliberate. Even in this latter scene where she apologises for punning, she's nonchalantly talking about the actual event itself, and others like it, because she doesn't think they really happened (It Makes Sense in Context). | |

Soul Series: The series features Nightmare, and one of the tropes involving the character is Siegfried Schtauffen, the wielder of Soul Edge, rising from nothing to becoming the greatest threat ever known. Or in other words, From Nobody to Nightmare. Tira has a massive lust over the inherent evil of Soul Edge and Nightmare itself. To put simply, she's a Nightmare Fetishist. |
