comment
A character on the side of a road or street is doing something that no reasonable or sane human being would be expected to do.
Cue the rolling of a bus full of moral types (nuns, children, etc) past the character, and the resulting mouth gapes and bulging stares from the formerly unblemished people of judgment.
It truly becomes Comedic Sociopathy for the unlucky character when said bus is a tour bus. Complete with flashing cameras and narration from the guide.
Should the bystanders choose to mock and jeer, congratulations—the victims might have picked up their very own Freelance Shame Squad. Lucky them!
This is often the response a character who made a Fee Fi Faux Pas gets. Often overlaps with Tour Guide Gag, when a tour guide explains to their tourists the action happening outside their vehicle. Despite the description, don't confuse this with Bus Full of Innocents, when the hero must save a vehicle full of people that is rushing to its doom.

The Simpsons:
Skinner loses his pants as Chief Wiggum drives up.
Ned Flanders gets pulled over for suspected DUI just as the church bus drives by.
Inverted in "D'oh-in' in the Wind", when Homer becomes a hippie and decides to defy the establishment. Acting out of his mind while driving in his car, he passes Krusty the Clown, who is at that moment riding a unicycle pulled by his pet monkey... and calls them weirdos.
The Running Gag of Nelson showing up out of nowhere and pointing and laughing overlaps when he's boarding any kind of vehicle, most usually it being his bicycle.

Inuyasha: Kagome tries to dress the wounds that Inuyasha took in the previous episode, but he insists he's fine and refuses to take off his shirt to let her see. Moments later Kaede walks by with a group of kids as Kagome is sitting on Inuyasha's chest demanding that he take his clothes off.

The Powerpuff Girls (2016): In "Bubbles of the Opera", Bubbles is distraught over having taken a bad school photo. Her sisters try a number of things to cheer her up but she keeps having accident after accident, resulting in her face becoming more disfigured. After leaving the dentist's office, Bubbles says she's starting to feel better but her horribly disfigured face doesn't sit well with a large group of students on a passing school bus, the last of which screams "KEEP DRIVING!! FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY, KEEP DRIVING!!"

Ali G In Da House: Ali is chained to a railing when his pants get pulled down. After trying to get an erection when a girl he likes passes (so as not to appear small), the next group along is a group of nuns.

NCIS: Jimmy is often on the receiving end by virtue of being unbelievably terrible with his choice of words. He usually says just one thing that turns out to be highly irreverent and gets a really dirty stare from Gibbs or an appalled look from Ducky, sometimes both at the same time.

Independence Day: Hiller and his best friend are discussing brown-nosing in a locker room. His best friend is on one knee when Smith drops the engagement ring he was going to give his girlfriend. Just as the best friend holds it up to give it back, someone else on their squad passes by, makes an "I didn't see anything" gesture, and leaves.

Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders: Joseph Joestar and Muhammad Avdol become stuck together by Mariah's magnetic powers. Hilarity Ensues when their attempts to separate lead to them looking like they're dancing. Then Avdol's attempts to slide himself down to Joseph's legs makes it look like he's sucking the old man off. THEN when they finally become unstuck, Avdol's crotch gets stuck to Joseph's rear before the magnetism forces Avdol to vigorously dry hump Joseph. All the while, they draw in an increasingly large crowd of people, who just stare at the two in confusion. Eventually, an old lady who was smitten with Joseph walks in on the two during the worst of their curse, at which point she angrily starts whipping Joseph with her umbrella. At this point, Joseph is humiliated enough to start crying.

Family Guy:
"Brian the Bachelor": Not on the street per se, but in one episode Cleveland has an audition for The Bachelorette and begins getting nervous, so Peter tries to calm Cleveland down. It escalates quickly, with Peter ripping off Cleveland's clothes and his own clothes and holding Cleveland in his chair. Then the executives walk through the door to call in Cleveland.
There's an incident when Peter wrecked his car and a bus full of supermodels laughed at him.
"Perfect Castaway": Peter, Joe, Cleveland, and Quagmire are stuck on a deserted island. Following the cliché, they decide to have an orgy. Realizing they aren't attracted to each other they try to disengage but are too tired to move. Naturally a cruise ship sails by; the tour guide describes the scene in English and Spanish.

Spongebob Squarepants: In "Pranks a Lot", SpongeBob and Patrick's joke competition deranges into the two of them roughhousing over a can of paint while being naked. A tour bus drives right beside them and the guide describes what the passengers are seeing. When they recover from their brief shock, the passengers start taking pictures.
