Ah, the Walk of Shame. The shameful jaunt with head turned down. Maybe some optional disguises out of your bedroom, hotel room, etc. There are two types of Walk of Shame. After Sex: Usually after a one-night stand, it is walking out of the bedroom, apartment, or home early in the morning with the same clothes you wore the night before or perhaps wearing no clothes at all. Some college students and average adults consider walking out of your one-night stand something to be more proud of than ashamed of, hence the existence of the "stride of pride". Seeing your roommate return home with messed up hair and wrinkled clothing can incite some interesting interactions. Naked People Trapped Outside usually defaults to this. This is the more figurative and/or colloquial version of the trope. Humiliation Gauntlet: One was just involved in an embarrassing activity and having to go past a line of people aware of what happened. Unlike the former, there is nothing to be proud of. This could come after an Insignia Rip-Off Ritual or Rejection Ritual. If you are being escorted to the police vehicle in front of a crowd, that is a Perp Walk. This is the more literal and/or traditional version of the trope. The aforementioned Perp Walk is a subtrope of this, involving getting arrested for an alleged crime where one is shown on a walk to the police car for a ride to jail. Both instances are sometimes Truth in Television. Regardless, this is prime fodder for both dramatic and comedic possibilities. See also Sexiled. |

Duran And Kiyohime's Omake Theater: A prequel chapter to the rest of the story, Chapter 121 is set in Shizuru's college dorm before the rest of the series, and Natsuki and Shizuru have just made love for the first time. Natsuki is preparing to head to her own apartment, and Shizuru asks her to stay. Natsuki says she's not eager to do the "walk of shame" past Shizuru's dorm mates in the early hours of the morning. She relents, however, saying she'd get more sleep there than if she took the time to go home. Shizuru begins thinking of the two of them moving into a small house together. She does wake in the morning to find Natsuki has stolen all the covers. | |

At the end of the Honor Harrington short story "From the Highlands", Anton Zilwicki spends the night with his new girlfriend, Cathy Montaigne. While trying to slip discreetly back into his own quarters early the next morning, he finds that his daughter Helen — who totally ships them — has stayed up the whole night waiting for him. Perched on a couch. Big, cheesy grin on her face. | |

Scrubs used this quite often, due to the focus on the characters' professional and personal lives. Once Elliot had to get back to work after a crazy date but having misplaced her old scrubs, she ended up throwing in the disheveled clothes she wore on her date into a machine that would dispense fresh scrubs. Needless to say, Chief of Medicine Dr. Kelso walked in on her while she was changing and she had to explain herself. | |

BURN THE WITCH (Miraculous Ladybug): After the Witch Hunter incident is over, Lila's transgressions have been broadcasted to all of Paris, including hurting Rose enough to turn her into an akuma, trying to throw Marinette to the angry mob riled up by Witch Hunter, and worst of all, creating a fake charity and running off with the donations. After her mother and the principal have discussed the terms of her punishment, she's forced to walk out of school in plain view of everyone, surrounded by a terrible smell and with rashes on her arms from jumping into the Seine and trying to evade the mob. | |

Inter Nos: Shizuru and Natsuki have been intimate for some time. However, they have just arrived in Shizuru's villa in her homeland, and during a lovemaking session, Shizuru decided to tease Natsuki by leaving hickeys in very visible places. Natsuki is suddenly very embarrassed to be seen in public; not because people will know she's Shizuru's partner, but because they'll know exactly what they've been up to. Shizuru teasingly suggests that she can say that the marks were made by a lamprey. | |

Total Drama Island: Invoked, where the eliminated contestant has to leave the island by walking down the "Dock of Shame" in front of all the other contestants and boarding the "Boat of Losers," as to make the experience more humiliating. The second season continued this with an actual "Walk of Shame," a mock red carpet where eliminated contestants walk to the "Lame-o-sine" to leave the games. Many of the contestants leave the game this way with their heads held in shame — and in a few cases, kicking and screaming. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: In Dothraki society, riding a horse is so important to one's social status that a man who does not or cannot ride one is not considered a man at all. After Daenerys' brother Viserys tries to hit her and is restrained by her khas (bodyguards), she orders them to make him walk back to the khalasar without his horse so everyone can see his shame. In A Dance with Dragons, Cersei is imprisoned by the Faith on suspicion of adultery, incest, and murdering the previous High Septon. Cersei only confesses to adultery, allowing her to avoid execution, but is forced to do a "walk of atonement," where she has her head shaved, her clothes stripped, and is forced to walk through King's Landing while a septa rings a bell and yells "SHAME!" with every step. |

In the Hey Arnold! episode "Arnold Betrays Iggy", Iggy is angry at Arnold because he learns that everybody in school knew that he wore bunny pajamas and mistakenly assumes Arnold told them (In truth, it's actually Sid and Stinky who correctly guessed Iggy wore bunny pajamas and Arnold never said anything about it). Arnold tries his best to ask for forgiveness from Iggy who gave him the cold shoulder. Eventually, Iggy orders him to walk in front of the whole neighborhood in bunny pajamas so that he can forgive him. Arnold reluctantly complies but when Iggy eventually learns the truth, he tries to stop Arnold which is too late. Arnold goes out of his apartment in bunny pajamas with the whole neighborhood watching and laughing at him as he walks around. | |

How I Met Your Mother made a bit where the characters enjoy the Halloween Parade on Halloween but also the Walk of Shame parade the next morning. When they find Robin in a nurse costume and shoes in hand, it sparks debate as to who she slept with, but in fact she didn't sleep with anyone; she just spent all night making an adult diaper commercial. | |
