Not-So-Innocent Whistle | comment |
In media of all types, especially comics and cartoons, the "innocent" whistle is a main staple, often played for humor. Alice, feeling mischievous, decides to, say, throw a snowball at Bob. Bob is knocked off his feet. He pulls himself up and spins around to see no one around in the area but Alice, who puts her hands behind her back and lifts herself up onto her tiptoes and back down several times while whistling. Sometimes Alice would be also be twiddling her thumbs, point her eyes upward/away, putting her hands in her pockets, or a halo would appear above her head — or any combination thereof, in an attempt to look as innocuous and inattentive as possible, though whether or not it works varies case-by-case. In comics, usually only a single note symbolizing the whistle is written. The Not-So-Innocent Whistle can also happen after suppressing a traumatic moment, or any other instance of hiding something. Common ways the trope is applied: The Deadpan Snarker and/or the The Comically Serious end up Covered in Gunge or otherwise pranked. They prepare their worst Death Glare for the Plucky Comic Relief only to find him/her whistling. A character does something bad (accidentally or otherwise) and walks away whistling. A Dead Horse Trope, given the large number of Genre Savvy characters who point out that whistling for no apparent reason is a surefire method to give yourself away. Not to be confused with the wolf whistle. An "Oh, Crap!" Smile or an Eyelash Flutter are alternatives in this kind of situation. A staple subtrope of Acting Unnatural and Looking Busy. |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Summer of 4 Ft. 2", Homer, in an attempt to light an illegal firecracker with the stove, accidentally burns off a significant amount of the fuse before shoving it in the sink. As a result, sewage overflows the sink and leaks onto the floor, to which Homer then walks away from the mess with his hands behind his back, whistling. | |

Peter in Double Trouble does this twice: he starts whistling innocently after he and his brother are unable to chase after the bad guy due to him removing the steering wheel from his brother's car (he was handcuffed to it), and whistles again later when he throws away a small, seemingly harmless explosive, and it blows up a car. | |

Total Drama: The Killer Bass have to get a foldable bench in place timely for DJ to land on safely in "X-Treme Torture". They get the job done and all is well until the bench folds up on its own and traps DJ beneath its pillows. Rather than help him, the Killer Bass walk away from the gaffe whistling as if they've go nothing to do with it. Chris reads out the votes during the elimination ceremony in "African Lying Safari". Sierra has one vote against her. She knows Cody has been consistently voting against her, so it's no question he's behind it this time to. She glares at him while he whistles fake-innocently. In "Ice Ice Baby", Scott sabotages his own team by re-angling B's ice mirror to shine on an ice block, which reflects the solar beam back to the fort of the Toxic Rats. Scott proceeds to blame B for the defeat and even though B knows Scott had something to do with it, he can only glare daggers at him. Scott taunts him by whistling in mock innocence. In "Grand Chef Auto", Chef makes the campers believe that Chris added Mount Chrismore mid-challenge as the final landmark to be graffitied. It is his way to get back at Chris for endangering his collection of go-karts. Chris is confused and horrified to learn that Mount Chrismore is about to be vandalized. Chef just whistles as if he's innocent and he backs up Chris's assumption that it's Duncan's meddling. Chris warns the campers for the flying mutant fire-breathing mountain goats in "Up, Up, and Away in My Pitiful Balloon", because they're very aggressive as of late. Feigning ignorance, Chef whistles as he recalls that the eggs to be used in the competition were stolen from the mountain goats by him. During the mutant egg hunt in "No Egg-spects the Spanish Opposition", the Heroic Hamsters collect an egg from Larry, Chris's mutant plant pet. Most of the babies that come out look like young versions of Larry, but one has a head that looks like Chris's. Everyone is unsettled by the implication that Chris is its sire, which Chris doesn't abate with his not-so-innocent whistling. In "Pahk'd With Talent", Chris decides the order of the camper-created challenges by throwing darts at the campers' photos as they're being held up by interns, all the while wearing a blindfold. Predictably, one of the darts injures an intern, prompting Chris to turn around, whistle, and walk away. |

The action film Murder at 1600 tries to play this trope straight, with a detective whistling while trying to infiltrate the White House disguised as a janitor. It fails, and he ends up captured. | |

KonoSuba: When Verdia returns to Axis, furious that someone is still pelting his castle with Explosion spells, Kazuma tries to insist that they're upholding the promise, only for Megumin to admit that she hasn't been able to resist. Kazuma is understandably freaked out by this, only to remember that Megumin can't move after using her Once-per-day Explosion spell, and realizes that someone had to be carrying her back. Cue Aqua trying to do this trope, only to be unable to even whistle properly. | |

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel In Chapter 4, when everyone receives their field study assignments, Rean sees that he's been assigned to a group with Laura and Fie, who are currently conflicting, and suggests to Instructor Sara that he's being used again. Sara's only response is this. As Class VII is discussing what everyone is doing for the school festival, Jusis says that the horse-riding club is planning an event and although there's supposed to be no gambling, he's sure their "senior colleague" will find a way. At this, Crow gives one of these, and the text actually reads "*innocent whistle*." |

In Chicken Run, the chickens are caught in the middle of spying on the farm's owners through binoculars. After a Beat or two of silence, every single chicken starts whistling in unison and looking innocent, with their hands holding the binoculars behind their backs. They get away with it because Mr. Tweedy convinces himself that it's all in his head—after all, real chickens do not plot. | |

In Child of the Storm, accounts of Doctor Strange's duel with Grindelwald, which lasted for days, leveled Berlin, and stripped the latter of his demon super-charging, reducing him from Physical God to his normal Person of Mass Destruction levels, leaving him for Dumbledore to face, all culminate with his having 'walked away whistling'. At first, this is believed to simply be a piece of embellishment, to boost Strange's reputation... then it's established that he really did walk away whistling. Considering his personality, this is less than surprising. Wanda lists a number of Strange's - her former teacher - mildly irritating traits; specifically, that he's a fount of 'knowledge, enigmatic and irritating pronouncements, and pop-culture references.' Harry Dresden, her apprentice and boyfriend, who has been justly accused of all three, starts whistling innocently in the background. Wanda notices this and adds, "don't worry, it's charming on you, darling." |

In Ant-Man, this is invoked by Luis, who asks if he can whistle when he has to infiltrate Pym Technologies as a security guard. Despite being told not to, he does it anyway. It ends up not mattering in the slightest. | |

South Park: In "Red-Hot Catholic Love", the parents of South Park talk about the recent trend of priests molesting young boys. When Priest Maxi walks by, all of them whistle innocently, much to his confusion. In "Worldwide Recorder Concert", the boys try to get back a a group of New York kids by changing their sheet music to one with the "brown noise" at the end. Unfortunately, the other groups of students were also tricked into playing the brown noise and it caused the entire human population to collectively crap their pants. The news later does a report on this, wondering what could be the cause. One cue, Stan, Kyle and Eric whistle while walking past the camera. |

At the start of the fourth season of Saved by the Bell: The New Class, a teacher reports to Mr. Belding that she bumped into his car while trying to park at her own spot. Once she leaves, Mr. Belding demands to know who assigned her spot next to his. He's speaking to no one in particular, but Screech, upon hearing Mr. Belding's demand, whistles to himself while looking sheepishly away, which, due to his close proximity to Mr. Belding, serves only to tip himself off. | |

In episode 14 of Happy Heroes, Smart S.'s magnetism is made way too powerful due to a super battery being installed in him. This causes him to accidentally attract Planet Gray, much to the delight of Big M. who immediately tries to pinch himself to see if he's dreaming. He then realizes he pinched Little M. by accident and whistles as if nothing happened. | |
