Let's face it: everyone masturbates, but some just are better at hiding it than others. In the case of some people, they tend to get their... reproductive material everywhere, and although it may not seem obvious, the flick of a light switch and a readily available black light will reveal a Jackson Pollockian spermsterpiece, to the disgust and shock of whomever found it. While semen is the go-to for this trope, blood, urine, feces, etc. can also apply. Their chemical composition, plus the nature of a UV blacklight means that when the lights are off and when a light shines, it will glow. This trope is usually Played for Laughs, though in police procedurals it tends to be Played for Drama. Truth in Television: Crime Scene Investigators utilize black lights to locate bodily fluids, including sperm, which happens to glow the brightest due to its chemical composition, although blood requires the use of chemicals, such as Luminol, to make it glow under black lights, and the black lights will also cause lemon juice, many laundry detergents, and toothpastes to glow. |

In Lee Goldberg's novel Mr. Monk and the Dirty Cop (based on the series), Adrian Monk's assistant Natalie Teeger recalls Lt. Disher using a blacklight to show her the amount of fluids in an apparently clean hotel room. After that experience, she is, for once, in agreement with her boss's extreme hypochondria and fear of hotel rooms. | |

CSI: NY: As is true for the entire franchise, investigators use blacklights quite frequently. One of the cases in "Tanglewood" has Danny and Aiden searching for clues in a seedy massage parlor. He aims his light in a waste basket full of used condoms and declares, "This is Chernobyl." In "The Untouchable," Mac and Flack are searching a room in a gentlemen's club for clues after a woman died at a party there. Mac turns on his ALS and finds semen stains on the couch. Flack makes a comment about a different kind of party. Mac says, "Sex isn't illegal, murder is. We need to find blood." He shines his light on the other side of the room and promptly finds cleaned-up blood stains there. |

In The Strain, veteran New York exterminator Vasily Fet always carries a black light to track rats by their urine stains. This proves critical in back-tracing the lair of the vampires who have colonized Manhattan's underground and driven the rats from their usual lairs. | |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: In "Halloween IV", when the competitors realize something is wrong with the heist, the entire precinct gets switched to blacklight. While this is meant to reveal a secret message on the fake heist plaques, it also has the unintended consequence of showing how filthy the precinct is. Hitchcock and Scully's desks in particular look radioactive compared to the rest of the room. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Implied in "The Hawking Excitation". When Howard tells Sheldon to polish his belt buckles in order to get the chance to meet Stephen Hawking, he tells Sheldon to use a blacklight (since the buckles tend to get... splashed... when Howard goes to the urinal). Even worse, he then advises Sheldon not to shine the light around the rest of Howard's bedroom for his own peace of mind. | |

Kurtis Conner: Discussed in his video on the MTV show Room Raiders, in which he was relieved the room-raiding spy kit didn't come with a black light to humiliate the people further. He then parodied it in a sketch, where a girl talks happily about how the boy who owns the bedroom she's in seems perfect, but how she has to try the black-light out to appease the show crew. The black light comes on, and suddenly everything in the room is pure white. | |

In a particularly squalid ill-kept toilet, he is disgusted to reveal it is even on the ceiling.

As the "inspector" sleeps, he left the black light on, which also illuminates the venomous scorpions that are approaching him and eventually sting him to death. | |

When they shine a black light in Charlie's bedroom, they are shocked by the number of stains all over, even on the ceiling. The audience, thankfully, isn't privy to this sight, which one of the agents compares to a Jackson Pollock painting. | |

In Freaks (2018), ADF agents detect use of Abnormal powers by checking for characteristic blood at the corner of the eyes with UV flashlights. While blood is normally not luminescent under a blacklight without a fluid such as luminol, it's possible that the fluid Abornomals leak when using their powers has a different composition. | |

Family Guy: When Carter and Chris go looking for a rare dollar bill, they enter a strip club and ask the bouncer to shut off all the lights except for the black light. When they do, everything is covered in semen, including Connie D'Amico and Tracy Flannigan, as well as most of the dollar bills. Chris remarks how gross it is, with Carter mentioning that the NBA All-Star Game was in town last week. A much more innocuous version occurs when the family temporarily stay in a hotel. Skeptical of its cleanliness, Stewie pulls out a UV light and manages to find a few stains of spittle, semen, and oatmeal. Stewie surmises that "This must be where Wilford Brimley was strangled by Bob Crane." |
