A stock phrase and one of those Blatant Lies...
Someone is flipping through a slideshow, PowerPoint presentation or book of photos and has a slide of something they shouldn't, or that makes them look odd. It's usually not so accidental when it's embarrassing someone else, but either way the response is usually, "How did that get there?". Sometimes it works - but usually not. Of course, sometimes it's just being spoken in Sarcasm Mode.
Frequently accompanies Porn Stash. See also Oh Wait, This Is My Grocery List.

Kodachi Kuno of Ranma ½ has been known to do this. The time she hid tacks in her hand before shaking Akane's hand comes to mind.
Another example would include the time when Akane tried to get Ranma to eat some magical sakura mochi that could tell whether or not they were destined to marry. Because he doesn't want her to find out that he's going to actually try it, he takes one when she's not looking then goes to eat it in peace. Unfortunately, he forgets himself when he sees Ryoga happily skip away after giving Akane flowers...

Taken to the max in a Cheers open. While Cliff recaps last week's episode, slides from his trip to Florida appear on screen. Cliff notices this, realizes it's the wrong slides, then continues on before someone pulls the plug.

Austin Powers and the "Swedish-Made Penis Enlarger Pump". It's not his, despite the credit card receipt. And the warranty card. And the book about his life with it. Which he himself wrote. The pump becomes a Running Gag, making an appearance as a Chekhov's Gun in the final scene with Random Task. Sure enough, Austin's still trying to claim it isn't his. This is continued in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me: While unpacking Austin's kitbag (not realising that their relative positions are casting BaitAndSwitchSilhouettes on the tent wall), Felicity finds a gerbil and asks Austin how it got there, to which he responds he has no clue.

Kaeloo: In one episode, Mr. Cat is giving a presentation with a slideshow to Kaeloo, Stumpy and Quack Quack when a "private" picture that Kaeloo sent him shows up on the screen. Mr. Cat's reaction makes it clear that that was not the image he'd intended to share.note It's not a nude picture, though Kaeloo is still embarrassed by it showing up on screen

At the beginning of Men at Arms, Edward D'eath is showing a few select friends some slides to try and prove to them that the royal line of Ankh-Morpork still exists, despite it being 300 years since the last known member had their head chopped off. Among the slides showing paintings, engravings, and busts of former monarchs, there is one of a vase of delphiniums. The servant who was responsible for putting the slideshow together is told to report to the duty torturer for "a little something off the ears".

At a Ring of Honor show, Colt Cabana pulled double-duty, wrestling earlier in the show using his masked "Matt Classic" persona. Later in the show, as the referee is doing his pre-match check of the wrestler's knee-pads, he pulls out the Matt Classic mask. Cabana snatches it away with mock-surprise, and says "How did that get in there?"
