When a character is feverish and requires a thermometer, there will often be a joke about using it in an inappropriate orifice. This takes two main forms; either the thermometer is being used in the incorrect end (a rectal thermometer being used orally or vice versa), or it's being used in the correct end and the victim simply doesn't want it there. Subtrope of Toilet Humour and Ass Shove; overlaps with Joke of the Butt. Compare Suppository Gag for when medication is delivered rectally. |

In The Penguins of Madagascar, Julien makes a comment about being glad he's not a mammal. Kowalski proves him wrong by checking various points of mammalhood, including warm blood. It's not really shown onscreen, but the Hammerspace thermometer and Julien's expression make it easy to guess how he does this. | |

In a late-series episode, a soldier (played by George Wendt) gets a pool ball stuck in his mouth. Winchester is assigned to treat him and is so annoyed over having to treat something so stupid he plays Doctor Jerk. Among other things, he goes to take the soldier's temperature, reacts in mock surprise to the pool ball, then declares "No sweat. We'll just take your temperature the other way." and pushes him over. | |

Bart fakes a fever to get out of going to school and Marge takes his temperature orally. But then she decides "there's only one way to get a truly accurate reading". |

MythBusters did this one in the Goldfinger paint retest. The medics wanted Adam's core body temperature taken, which, of course, meant a rectal temperature probe. When Adam learned this, his reaction was priceless. Later, just as the deed is about to be done: Later episodes requiring a core temperature reading had the hosts swallow small thermometers with radio transmitters in order to avoid that level of embarrassment again. Hence, "I ate a radio for science!" |

In Okusan, the titular housewife becomes ill and her husband buys a thermometer to check her temperature. It's not until he gets home that he realizes that in trying to find the most accurate type of thermometer, he bought a rectal one. In a variant of this trope, the husband is incredibly flustered over the mistake while Okusan is perfectly fine and tells him to go right ahead with using it (that she and her husband have a very active sex life probably made it much less awkward for her). | |

The Librarian wasn't too happy about this, and reportedly bit Doughnut Jimmy when he tried to take his temperature. One of the wizards wonders how the Librarian could bite someone with a thermometer in his mouth, and another replies that it was the matter of where the thermometer went that made the Librarian mad. | |

Oggy and the Cockroaches has a few: In "The Patient", a rectal thermometer is used on Jack through the block of ice he's in. Later, a triple-pronged one is broight out for the three cockroaches when the same happens to them. In "To Serve and Protect", Oggy faints on seeing a rectal thermometer brought out. Oggy whips out a rectal thermometer in "Santa Oggy" to take Santa Claus' temperature. Santa obviously isn't comfortable with the idea, so he decides to do it himself... by turning Oggy around and sticking the thermometer into a lamp to trick Oggy into thinking his temperature is very high to get some privacy while Oggy does his job. |

However, he never gets the chance to use it because Kaeloo transforms and beats him up, giving Quack Quack the opportunity to escape. In another episode, Kaeloo eats a bag of chips which Mr. Cat sold to her as a scam, and they give her a stomach ache. Mr. Cat, who is also pretending to be a doctor as part of another scam, shows up to cure her stomach ache and tries to take her temperature rectally. She punches him before he can actually do it. |

In the short, "Concord The Kindly Condor" from the Tiny Toon Adventures episode, "Toons From the Crypt", a bear gets caught in a trap. Concord arrives, takes out a thermometer, and walks towards the bear's rear. The next shot is a close-up of the bear's satisfied face, surrounded by hearts. This gag is then revealed to be subverted, as Concord merely used the thermometer to pry the trap open so the bear could get free. In "Looniversity Days", the title card for the "What's Up Nurse?" segment shows Elmyra about to take Plucky's temperature rectally, much to his distress. |

In City Hunter, part of Ryo's unfortunate experience in trying to bodyguard Yoshimi Iwai incognito includes this, as Kaori, having disguised herself (with glasses and a stolen nurse uniform) and claimed to be Iwai's newly-appointed apprentice, gets into Iwai's private-care room to prevent Ryo from doing anything inappropriate to Iwainote — standard hospital procedure policies prohibit visitors for Iwai's patient(s) in order to make Iwai's assigned patient leave, as the hospital administrators has Iwai deal with the most unruly patients as a Cool and Unusual Punishment. When Iwai asks Kaori to use a thermometer to take a patient's temperature, Kaori obliges... by inserting it into Ryo's backside. Iwai corrects Kaori at once by demonstrating the action of placing it inside the patient's mouth. The problem is that Iwai forgot to disinfect the thermometer before putting it inside Ryo's mouth, so now she and Kaori must disinfect the thermometer... and Ryo's mouth as well. | |
