Some secret about Character A is mentioned, either by the character himself, or by somebody else. When queried, someone replies "You don't want to know. Just trust me on this." Or words to that effect. Whether we actually find out what it is varies — if we don't, it can turn into a Noodle Incident and be left to the viewer's imagination entirely, or it might be set up for one or more un-reveals. The characters who do know will usually try to avoid talking about it. More often than not, this phrase can just end up as Schmuck Bait.
In other cases, we do find out. If played for comedy, the secret will turn out to be relatively innocuous — or at least, not nearly as far-out as what the other characters — and probably the audience — have imagined it might be. If played for drama (as in horror movies) it'll turn out that the secret is, indeed, quite bad, and that the others would, in fact, have been better off not knowing. Either way, this may well end in someone frantically grabbing for the nearest container of Brain Bleach.
A smart person can start to ask, and then conclude that no, they're better off not knowing. If curiosity gets the best of them, it will be followed with "I'm afraid to ask, but..."
And sometimes, it's just Too Much Information.
Other stock phrases include "I don't want to know, but at the same time, I really want to know...", "That means you do not want to know, trust me," and "Don't Ask."
If said by a mentor, it is likely to be an Awful Truth. If they experience enough such events, it can lead to a character who has Seen It All.
Not to be confused with These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know... even if, in some cases there may be some overlap. However, it can be used to invoke Nothing Is Scarier.
See also Don't Ask, Take Our Word for It, I Have My Ways. Compare Plausible Deniability, for when your sanity could probably handle it, but you still don't want to know because your legal standing maybe couldn't. Also Cassandra Truth, if you know that they won't believe it, because of cognitive dissonance.

In The Penguins of Madagascar there is a long running gag involving Skipper with this called the "Copenhagen/Denmark incident". It´s seems he is unable to set foot in Denmark for unknown circumstances after being declared that country´s Public Enemy Number One. When Private asked "What happened at Denmark?" (and any other character, even if they made the slightly commentary about this) he only gets the "You don´t wanna know/ask about that Private!!!" from Skipper. Partially reverted as the show goes on, with one episode explaining Hans the puffin had framed him, and some details about the incident involving explosions and a high-speed chase, and another revealing it has something to do with open faced sandwiches (yeah...just don´t ask...)

In the Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged movie, after Yakumo warps everyone's voices into horrible representations of what they're supposed to sound like, Yusuke asks what Kurama sounds like and Kuwabara answers with this trope. Averted anyway since Kurama ends up speaking enough to say: "I HATE all of you."

Used in Thud! when Vimes asks about the worst of dwarven signs, the Summoning Dark, and is informs he does not want to know. When he asks again, he's told that no, he really doesn't. He starts to ask again before deciding that in fact that's correct, it's mystical stuff that he doesn't believe in, and drops it.

In an episode of the ongoing Hercules series, the water of the Spring of Canathus turns Hercules, Icarus, Pegasus, Adonis, and Hades' minion Pain into infants, which results in Cassandra and Hades other minion Panic becoming Badly Battered Babysitters for the rest of the episode. When the curse is finally undone, Hades shows up, and at first, he asks why everyone is wearing diapers, but then he changes his mind and says he doesn't want to know, and leaves with his two servants. (However, Hercules and his friends do want to know what happened, and after Cassandra tells them, they all beg and plead with her not to tell anyone.)

Stan is absolutely right.If you must know...It's executing someone via tying them between boats in the water and then covering and forcefeeding them milk and honey so they will be torturously killed from being slowly swarmed and eaten by all of the insects that will be attracted by the mixture and the individual's excrement over several days. They said You Do Not Want To Know...

Star Trek: Enterprise
Captain Archer is in VERY tense negotiations with the Xindi while his linguist Lt. Sato performs simultaneous translation — except at one point, where the insectoid Xindi goes on a long chittering rant, and Sato simply says, "You don't want to know."
This is the second time she uses the line. In the pilot episode, a Klingon says something to Captain Archer, who takes it as a thank you. When Sato comments that she doesn't think they have a word for thank you, and Archer asks her what the Klingon did say, she responds with the line verbatim.

Used in a decidedly non-comedic fashion in Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, when Shell-Shocked Veteran Camaris refuses to tell the protagonists about his mysterious past that led to a Heroic BSoD, on the grounds that it's too shameful. He does confess it twice, once to a priest and once to Prince Josua, and both emerge from the experience wishing they hadn't been told. At the end, it's revealed that he's Josua's father, and lived his life afterwards in misery over his weakness and the subsequent Death by Childbirth of the woman in question.

The Simpsons:
In the episode "I Love Lisa," Ralph Wiggum has tickets to Krusty's anniversary show, and he invites Lisa. Bart really wants to go, and he suggests disguising himself as Lisa.
A Simpsons TV Episode guide also used this phrase on the subject of how Kang and Kodos could tell each other's genders.
Another episode had Bart rubbing his ear industriously and acting sick so that when Marge took his temperature (through his ear) it would come out to 103 F and he could stay home. She says the only way to be sure was to use the rectal thermometer. It still came out to 103. When Lisa asked, Bart says she doesn't want to know.

Heroes season three demonstrates how not to do this: a character whose power is treated as a "you don't wanna know" situation turns out to be something pretty basic: your typical sonic scream thing, and not even (that we saw) to Black Bolt-esque mega-destructive levels.note Said power was originally intended to be terrakinesis, on par with the Big Bad of volume five, but was cut due to budget restraints at the time.

Justice League:
In an episode, having just captured the assassin Deadshot who tried to kill Aquaman, several members of the League threaten him with physical violence, which he shrugs off. Batman then takes him aside and whispers something to him, he practically begs to tell everything he knows. When Wonder Woman asks Superman what was said (Supes possesses acute hearing) he tells her that she doesn't want to know. Made even better by the expression on his face. According to Kevin Conroy, the actor who played Batman, he was told to whisper "I know where you live, Floyd".
Also, in the Forced Prize Fight Unlimited episode "Grudge Match", Hawkgirl's reaction after being snapped out of mind control;

Buzz-Off uses this line twice in two separate episodes of the 2002 remake. The first is during season one, where Man-At-Arms is swallowed by Merman's giant shark-monster. (For the second time.) He-Man tries to rescue him by diving down the beast's throat, leading to this exchange:

Halo (2022). In the Season One finale, Cortana tells Vannack that he has to pilot the exact path she's calculated through the gravitational forces or be "spaghettified". When Vannak wants to know why she didn't mention this before, Cortana cheerfully says their odds of success were already so low she didn't want to worry them.

A more heartwarming version of this trope appears in The Shawshank Redemption. When Andy defiantly plays a soulful Italian opera piece over the prison intercom (Sall'aria, from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro), Red muses that he doesn't want to know what the ladies in the song were singing about, preferring to think it was something too beautiful to be put into words.

Take the mage quest early in Dragon Age: Inquisition and after saving Leliana Dorian will attempt to find out what happened. What's already seen is perhaps the most horrific scenes in the series, and her utter reticence for an explanation suggests we just take her word for it that as bad as things are the rest is far worse.

Calvin and Hobbes:
Calvin's mom after he runs inside naked and screaming at a hailstorm; "I'll bet there's an explanation for this, and I'll bet I don't want to hear it."
In another strip, Calvin tries to cook an eggs and orange juice breakfast for his mother while she's ill, but the eggs end up being crispy lumps stuck to the pan. When she asks about the orange juice, Calvin answers "Dad says not to tell you about that until you're better."
When Calvin asks if he can use gasoline to write flaming letters on the lawn so airplanes flying overhead can read it, his dad's second thought (after "No, you can't do that! Don't be ridiculous!") was that he didn't even want to know what Calvin was going to write.

The Dresden Files
In the novel Death Masks, Harry Dresden finds himself having a conversation with his friend Micheal's teenage daughter Molly, after escaping a situation that left him with handcuffs danging from one wrist. During their talk, Molly produces a set of handcuff keys and finds one that matches the cuffs he's wearing. When Harry asks how she got the keys, she tells him to ask himself if he really wants to know the answer to that question. Harry decides he doesn't.
Repeated with the medical pinwheel thing. Apparently they have recreational uses. Molly used to hang out with a weird crowd. Harry decides to not pursue that line of reasoning.
In a more serious use of this trope, Harry initially keeps even his own allies Locked Out of the Loop in regards to the magical world for this very reason. After Murphy calls him out on it, specifically telling him that trust is a two-way street, he begins asking his friends if they really want to know this kind of stuff; invariably they say yes and become staunch allies.

SCP Foundation: For SCP-231, the containment procedure 110-Montauk is designed to keep the pregnant girl (age unspecified) from giving birth to a creature that will cause The End of the World as We Know It. All but the vaguest details regarding 110-Montauk are expunged and redacted; the only details we get are that it's horrifically inhumanenote The writer states it's not the obvious answer, but worse than that., that only non-violent D-class personnel are ever to be given authorization to carry out the procedurenote to minimize unnecessary prolonging of the procedure, that it's so agonizing to the one carrying out the procedure that those who do it are routinely given Laser-Guided Amnesia to prevent psychological damagenote the suicide rate was disproportionately high for personnel who developed/performed 110-Montauk, and that the subject has to be awake, lucid, and aware of what's happening to her or it won't work.note She also can't be killed, the fetus can't simply be aborted, and she has to be mind-wiped once a week so the trauma and anguish are fresh, since that makes it more effective. The O5 council, the leaders of the Foundation who already operate with dubious morals at the best of times, are disgusted with themselves that this is the best they can do in this case and avoid talking about it as much as possible; case in point, the photo that would normally accompany the article isn't only missing, it's pointedly removed by order of the O5. The article is screaming this trope with the amount of redaction alone.

Supernatural:
In the episode "What Is And What Should Never Be" (S02, Ep20), Dean tells Sam he does not want to know what is in a paper bag. When Sam pulls out a takeout container of blood from the bag, Dean meets Sam's inquiry about the purpose of the blood by again telling Sam he does not want to know.
In "No Rest For The Wicked" Ruby tells Sam Lilith is on "shore leave". When he asks what that means, she replies with this. We then see what she means...and Ruby's right.
Again in "When the Levee Breaks", Ruby tells Sam Lilith keeps a personal chef. When he asks what's she's eating, she replies with this, for good reasons.

In Kushiel's Dart, the heroine is speculating about her mentor's mysterious past, and a listener who can predict the future tells her: "You will rue the day all is made clear." The prophecy is exactly correct. However, this is not because he has a terrible secret. It's because the same day she finds it out, he is killed by assassins.

Garfield:
In a strip, Garfield looks at the box of the cat food he's eating, and sees that it reads: "Ingredients: You're better off not knowing". He keeps on eating, thinking: "What you don't know can't hurt you, right?"
In another strip, when Jon and Garfield are at Irma's Diner:
Another one involving Irma:
In a 2012 Sunday strip, Garfield takes a Snow-Cone container outside when it is snowing. The snow then fills up in the container, until it reachers snow-cone-like levels, to Garfield's delight. Jon and Liz are watching the entire thing inside, leading to this exchange when Garfield is bringing the cherry syrup bucket:
Jon gave Garfield some food claiming not to know what it was because the label came off the can. Garfield said sometimes that was a blessing.
Jon returns from his date and tells Garfield he doesn't want to know how it went. Garfield decides this means the opposite. In the next day's strip, he tells Garfield about her nostrils. He warned him...
In one strip where Garfield, Jon, and Odie went to a restaurant while vacationing on an island, Jon asked the waiter what the only item on the menu, 'Unguah', was. The waiter advised him he didn't want to know. Based on the waiter's reaction to seeing one offscreen, it's implied that an Unguah is an insect.
At the end of a month long arc in which Garfield and Odie are lost, the pair end up in a pet shop where Jon finds them, leading to this exchange:
Liz wonders why it takes so long for Jon to organize his sock drawer and Garfield tells her she doesn't want to know. The next panel shows Jon using two socks as puppets.

Discworld:
Used in Thud! when Vimes asks about the worst of dwarven signs, the Summoning Dark, and is informs he does not want to know. When he asks again, he's told that no, he really doesn't. He starts to ask again before deciding that in fact that's correct, it's mystical stuff that he doesn't believe in, and drops it.
In Going Postal the ancient messenger golem Anghammarad recounts his motto:
The modern Ankh-Morpork post office declares that neither sleet nor snow nor gloom of night shall stay these messengers about their business, with its own "don't arsk us about" list. Mrs. Cake appears twice.
The Lemony Narrator does this to the reader in Thief of Time, when Famine talks about his love of salad cream sandwiches. A footnote advises readers from societies where the traditional condiment for salad is mayonnaise not to even ask.
In Making Money, Moist wonders why there's a squid in the halls of Unseen University, and Dr. Hicks tells him "You don't want to know about the squid." All we know is that it's somehow a by-product of the University's studies into the Cabinet of Curiosity.

When Big D is being interrogated by the police in Hunter: The Parenting, he invokes this to make his story more plausible. When asked to explain why his house has a dungeon with cages, whips, a live camera feed, and two dead bodies note His family uses it to interrogate captured vampires from a safe distance, he feigns disgust and refuses to answer at first. When the cop presses him, he is embarrassed to say that it is his friend (son) Marckus's sex dungeon, and hints at multiple disturbing yet nonexistent Noodle Incidents to make sure he asks as little as possible.

On the Raquel Welch episode of The Muppet Show, Marvin Suggs reveals to Kermit that he has to replace his living musical instruments, the Muppaphones, when they go flat (like little pancakes). What happens to them then? Well... At one point, he actually was the replacement... turns out that singing the Witch Doctor song when you've been told never to tell anyone is a bad idea.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has a dramatic example. After being defeated by Kiriya, a former ally and friend resurrected by Masamune Dan, Emu has something whispered to him by the former that gets him so angry that he punches him in the face and declares him a Broken Pedestal. When Taiga asks him what was whispered to him later on, Emu replies "It's best if you don't know". Of course, this is all a ruse on both Emu and Kiriya's parts, in that Kiriya is merely pretending to work for Masamune and Emu is playing along. Kiriya was merely steathily letting him know.

Played seriously in Persona 5. While the group explores Kunikazu Okumura's Palace, Haru, Kunikazu's daughter, asks why they haven't run into a cognitive version of her (in other words, a representation of how her father sees her). Morgana says that he can think of a few possible reasons, but Haru wouldn't want to hear them. While this is not brought to a conclusion in Vanilla, Royal does show a Cognitive Haru and, as predicted, the real Haru doesn't like it one bit. Haru in Okumura's eyes is nothing more than another one of his robots that he can just deploy and self-destruct in front of the party when nobody is left to defend him and his corporate empire.

Red Dwarf:
Lister opens a secure door and doesn't want Kryten to see how: "Trust me, you don't want to know!". Kryten doesn't look, but being a robot, he correctly guesses the logical answer: Lister used a severed hand from one of the dead crew on the palm print reader. What makes Kryten's realization worse is he knows Lister is using the severed hand of his(Lister) own alternate self.
Subverted in Thanks For The Memory. A drunken Rimmer wants to tell Lister how many times he's made love, to which Lister replies: "I don't wanna know! Trust me, You do not want to tell me!"
Rimmer does, and the answer turns out to be embarrassing.
In "Backwards", before they leave, Lister tells Rimmer that Cat has gone off into the bushes, then he realizes what this entails, and says, "We've got to stop him!" Cat comes back, hair sticking straight up, walking stiffly, horrified expression on his face, and simply says "Don't ask." (For those who don't recall the episode, they were on an alternate Earth where everything happened in reverse...)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Worf is asked at a party what Klingons dream about. He may or may not be japing the questioner when he replies thus:
In "Sacrifice of Angels", O'Brien and Bashir have been quoting "The Charge of the Light Brigade" in the runup to a battle where they're seriously outnumbered. Eventually Garak asks how it ends. O'Brien tells him he doesn't want to know...which answers the question.
Klingon sex is very rough (broken bones are considered a good sign). Bashir learns this after treating Grilka and Quark. When Work and Dax come in he asks what happened. They share a look and Bashir says that he doesn't want to know, and in fact he's going to stop asking that question altogether.

Jim responds by demanding the review be on his desk by the end of the day, or Dwight will be issued a "full dissadulation." What is that? "You don't want to know."

The Terminator
Sarah Connor asks who the father of the future John Connor will be, "so I won't tell him to get lost when I meet him." All Kyle Reese knows is that he died before the war, whereupon Sarah decides she doesn't want to know any further details.
Sarah and Kyle stop at a motel, and Kyle pulls out a fistful of cash and asks if it's enough to pay for a room. Sarah hastily assures him it's enough, adding, "I don't wanna ask where you got it."

Red vs. Blue:
In season 3, Church encounters multiple versions of himself due to time travel, including one who is an odd yellow color. When asked how he got like that, he simply replies, "Dude, Don't Ask." In season five, it turns out yellow Church is actually the personification of Sister in Caboose's head. And according to Season 10, may or may not actually exist. In Yellow Church's own words, It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time.
Season 10 adds the fate of Agent Georgia. It somehow involved a zero-g thruster pack.

About 80% of Oedipus the King is this trope. Oedipus wants to know why his kingdom is dying, without having any idea that it's his own fault. The reason ''why'' it's his fault is, of course, horrifying enough to result in him putting out his own eyes.

A comedic example occurs in Last Resort. In "Skeleton Crew" Shepard is forced to leave King behind on an underwater buoy. She is only able to return after he's run out of air, but he was able to stay alive by holding his breath. He reveals that he is still alive by tapping the buoy with Morse Code. He also includes a vulgar message to her, and she is merely told that she doesn't want to know what it means.

Played completely straight in Beyond Heroes: Of Sunshine and Red Lyrium, when Carver Hawke is explaining the Calling to his twin sister, Inquisitor Bethany Hawke, and her friends. He talks about how male Grey Wardens celebrate the ends of their lives and then trot off the the Deep Roads to kill as many darkspawn as possible before they die, but female Grey Wardens are given the option of ritual suicide. This is because sending them to the Deep Roads means that there's a strong chance of them being captured by the darkspawn and turned into broodmothers. “Trust me when I say that you do not want details.� Broodmothers, as players of the first game in the series know, are formerly normal females who have been corrupted by the darkspawn and are used for breeding purposes, just as the name implies. The process of creating a broodmother is deeply disturbing.

In the Ben 10 episode "Ken 10" Ken rejects adding an alien called 'Toepick' to the Omnitrix, saying "He even grosses me out!". The pop-up edition plays this up by having the pop-up say "You don't want to know". Toepick makes an appearance in Ben 10: Omniverse. He has a green cage covering his face, which is so nightmarish it makes Psyphon turn white with fear and beg for mercy.
In another Omniverse episode, Rook makes a concoction as per Gwen's instructions to try and help cure Ben's out-of-control acne. Ben chugs it immediately, at which point Rook tells him he wasn't supposed to drink it. When Ben asks what the ingredients were, Rook tells him he's better off not knowing.

In an episode of Malcolm in the Middle, Hal and a heavily pregnant Lois go to a bed and breakfast for the weekend, they send Reese to grandma Ida, Malcolm to Stevie's, and Dewey with Craig. After Reese is told that he'll be spending the weekend on the bus, since Ida lives so far away, he jumps out the bus and goes home to plan a party. When some drug dealers get wind that there won't be adult supervision, they turn the house into a meth lab and Malcolm and Reese bring Francis to help get them out, but the leader of the gang is an old friend of Francis with a lot of dirt on him, so the boys have no choice but to let them have free reign of the house. When Craig fails to get them to leave, Dewey tells on the drug dealers' mothers, and they clean up their stuff and go away. When Lois and Hal come back, Malcolm tells them that the weekend was boring but in a "fun" way, Dewey backs up Malcolm's claim, and when Craig brings Reese from "the bus station," he happily says he enjoyed his trip. Lois and Hal, who had just gotten over a massive argument at the bed and breakfast, say to themselves:

In The Raven's Plan, this is Bran's reaction when asked what's happening in Dorne following the Remembering, feeding many commentators' opinion that, depending on whose minds got sent back in time, it's probably a dumpster fire of a situation. They're right, as it turns out.
Sansa warns Catelyn of this when the latter demands to be told of what became of Arya in the old timeline. However, Cat persists, to her regret after being told.
The Starks' steward, Veyon Poole, who predeceased his children, asks Sansa what happened to his daughter Jeyne, who doesn't Remember. Sansa just tells him that they should be glad that she doesn't (as she'd ended up in one of Baelish's brothels).

The Uchiha replies he never used it outside of battle, but he could try as it could bring up some advantages. However, Kakashi arrives and warns him about it. Pointing at his own Sharingan eye, he has a disturbed look while saying "What you see... you cannot unsee... even by accident. I know details of things that would chill your bones to ice and haunt your dreams!" Sasuke then has a rather nervous look upon hearing that.

Subverted and inverted early on in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, when Arthur takes the precaution of asking Ford, "if I were to ask you where the hell we were, would I regret it?" Ford cuts to the chase and tells him where they are. Arthur was probably happier when he didn't know.

Leverage has an interesting version, when it was revealed that Elliot once worked for Damien Moreau. Parker starts to ask him about what he did for Moreau that he is so ashamed of, and he tells her "Don't ask. Because if you do ask, I'm going to tell you. So don't ask."

In Transformers: Animated when Starscream finds out that each of his clones represent a different part of his personality and he asks which part an Opposite-Sex Clone represents, her response is "Don't ask!"
Funnily enough, Word of God states the same thing.
In an earlier episode, Prowl, Bumblebee and Sari go on a camping trip, and the latter two bring all manner of gadgets. Prowl, unimpressed, asks Bee where he found room for all of it in his vehicle mode. "I'd...rather not say".

The eponymous spaceship of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is equipped with the OMCS, which synthesizes food in nearly unlimited quantities. An officer (who doesn't eat much) says this line to a crewman (carrying a heavily laden tray) who asks how it works.note According to official lore, OMCS works by converting organic material, up to and including human waste products, into food.

Used for comic effect in Black Books. Manny says that something bad happens to him at 88 degrees, and Bernard wants to know what, but Manny keeps repeating, "You don't want to know." Bernard at first tells Manny to stop saying that, because he wants to know even more if he's told he doesn't. Then he switches tactics, saying that Manny doesn't know WHY Bernard wants to know. To which Manny replies, "Oh, why's that?" And Bernard has made his point.

Blackadder:
In an episode of Blackaddder the Third, a French torturer tells the soldier guarding Blackadder and Baldrick that he should leave, since what she is going to do will be so horrifying. He states his belief that he can stomach it, to the hag's increasingly frantic protests, until he asks for a description. She whispers to him, and he runs off about to vomit.
Also in Blackadder the Third, when Prince George describes what the Naughty Hellfire Club does to people who don't pay their dues:

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In "Boast Busters", it turns out that the three story tall celestial bear that attacked Ponyville at the climax was not an Ursa Major, but an Ursa Minor — a cub. When Spike asks what a full-grown Ursa Major is like, the audience is shown a rather scary-looking star-bear big enough to be holding the Ursa Minor in its arms like a baby, which is followed by a cut back to Twilight telling Spike "You don't want to know."
Rainbow Dash says this in "Party of One" after Twilight wonders what Dash meant by "At least I haven't been replaced by a bucket of turnips."

Doctor Who:
"Bad Wolf": This is how Jack Harkness responds when his captors demand to know how he managed to pull a concealed weapon on them despite being stripped naked.
"Flesh and Stone": This is Father Octavian's response when the Doctor, after finding out that River Song is in prison for murder, asks him who she killed. It turns out that River killed the Doctor himself (but not really), so Octavian's reluctance is fully justified.
In "Praxeus", Yasmin Khan wants to follow an alien through a teleport to an unknown destination. The woman's she's with is unfamilar with being the Doctor's companion, so is understandably reluctant, asking "What's the worst place we could end up?" Yaz replies, "Long list. You don't want to know." The first time Yaz was teleported she ended up in outer space where she almost suffocated to death before being rescued by a spaceship that just happened to be there; and that was only the first of her offworld adventures with the Doctor.

In the episode "Cura Te Ipsum"
In "Critical", Detective Carter demands information on the mysterious forces hunting Reese. Reese points out that, unlike him and Finch, Carter is not hiding under a false name and has loved ones that are still alive. "So I think the real question you have to ask yourself, Detective... is how much more do you really want to know?"
By Season 4 Detective Fusco, Team Machine's other Friend on the Force, has become smart on the matter.

A Darker Path: When Danny asks about the deaths of the Slaughterhouse Nine, Taylor advises him not to ask about Mannequin, because even by her standards, it was a nasty death.note She imitated his final phone call from his wife and children, as they were driven insane by the Simurgh and gradually stabbed each other to death. And then she did it again, and again, until Mannequin completely broke down and killed himself rather than keep listening.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire:
Used for an extended gag when Milo asks Audrey about the backstory of Gaetan 'Mole' Moliere, after having heard the backgrounds of the rest of the cast. She's just opened her mouth when Dr. Sweet delivers the page quote. Seeing as Moliere is a short, creepy French dude obsessed with soil and rock, who has an intense aversion to bathtime, he may be right.
In the sequel, Milo says that he thinks Moliere was raised by naked mole rats. Given that it went Direct to Video...
In an issue of Disney Adventures, it was stated that he spent most of his childhood exploring in the sewers of Paris.

Homestar Runner:
If you want to know how to animate Homestar, according to "Sample of Style Too" it involves a pair of underpants with ping-pong sensor nodes on it. Matt quotes this word for word after showing the viewer this.
In the Halloween toon "Mr. Poofers Must Die!", Coach Z and Pom Pom collaborate on a costume of Missy Elliot's baggy black jumpsuit from the music video for "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)"... which involves Coach Z's head sticking out of Pom Pom's spherical body.

In the episode of Friends where Chandler is trying to get the perfect engagement ring for Monica, it winds up getting bought and he's trying to get Phoebe to remember if the guy who picked it up mentioned where he was going. Phoebe mentions the name had something to do with "rainbow", but after some more thinking, it turns out to be some fancy French name that doesn't have anything to do with rainbows. When Chandler says he'd love to know how she managed to something get a rainbow out of that, Phoebe responds, "No you wouldn't. You don't want to get in here," as she points to her head.
In another episode, Joey walks into the apartment tuxedo which causes Chandler to leap out his seat shouting "VOMIT TUX! NO, NO! VOMIT TUX!". Monica starts to ask what he's referring to, but cuts herself off mid-sentence after Joey shakes his head at her and pivots to asking why he's so dressed up instead.

While he often mentions his previous careers, he usually says "I'd rather not talk about it" when pressed about them, except for two notable cases: once when he says he's not allowed to talk about it (it involved government work), and once when he'd have loved to talk about it (it involved skateboarding), but he didn't have time because he was too busy with something school-related right then. This catchphrase was actually the title of an episode where he was the central character. (In that episode, he actually does talk about it.)

Babylon 5:
A variant was used in Season 3.
A straighter example in Season 4. Susan Ivanova stumbles litter-strewn out of a transport tube, using a cane to stay upright.

When a couple (Bob and June Wheeler, Bob played by Brent Spiner) came into Night Court who were well known for their outlandish bad luck (the squad car they were arrested in got hit by a bolt of lightning) mention that their granny died, Harry, Dan, and Christine give each other looks before Christine bursts out "Oh what the Hell someone has to ask! How did she die?" They reply that she died peacefully while sleeping... on the railroad tracks.

Star Trek: The Next Generation
In "The Big Goodbye", the fate the insectoid Jarada visit upon people who pronounce their ceremonial greeting wrong is so horrible that the crew won't even let Data hint at it.
In a later episode, Geordi and Riker have to fly into a sensor-blinding nebula that's full of enemy ships. They have a proximity detector but it only works at very short range, and at one point Riker has to pull an extremely sharp turn to avoid hitting something.
