* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3PyrwjNneA This dentist commercial]], which provides the above image.

* Perhaps the most classic scene in ''Film/AFishCalledWanda'', a film packed with classic scenes.

* ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' has a wonderfully {{Exaggerated|Trope}} variation of this. Jeff's LoveInterest blindfolds him in the office after hours and says she has a surprise for him. He jumps to the understandable conclusion that she was going to have sex with him right then and there. So, happily singing to himself, he triumphantly dances around the room stripping off every last item. At which point the Love Interest returns -- ''with his parents'' -- and reveals there was a room full of people waiting to surprise him for his birthday party, and they'd been standing there [[NoSympathy watching the whole strip]] in mute horror.
** "Oh, ''Jeffrey''."
** Still, it ends better for Jeff than any other example on this page, as the girlfriend herself found the whole thing a bit of a turn-on...

[[NakedPeopleAreFunny Nakedness]]. Nobody ever gets tired of it. The exact reasons for being naked are irrelevant, for inevitably the time must come when we must end this plot. Cast aside the foolishness of a naked person traipsing around the universe [[HaveAGayOldTime gay as a chickadee]], and finally have them safely at home where the nakedness can bother no one and so-

* "Splish Splash" by Music/BobbyDarin is about a guy taking a bath on a Saturday night, getting out of the tub and leaving the bathroom, and finding there's a party going on in his house when he's just got a towel on. He jumps back in the bath and presumably puts more clothes on afterward.

** The whole story of 'Splish Splash' by Bobby Darin is a guy taking a bath on a Saturday night and finding there's a party going on in his house when he's just got a towel on. He jumps back in the bath and presumably puts more clothes on afterward.

* Happens in an episode of the 2007 ''GeorgeOfTheJungle'' where George loses his loincloth and tries to get back to the treehouse without being seen.

* Although the party's not for him, this still happens to Patrick Dempsey's character in the movie ''Some Girls''.

* Subverted in the film ''Film/InGoodCompany'', where Dennis Quaid's character guesses about the surprise party and comes in in his underwear as a joke.

This trope is based off an old story, as {{Snopes}} explains [[http://www.snopes.com/love/betrayal/surpriseparty.asp here]] and [[http://www.snopes.com/risque/caught/surprise.asp here]]. TheReveal of the surprise guests almost always ends the story -- very rarely does the party happen and then we see what happens next.

* Happens in the NFB's ''Bob's Birthday'', the animated short on which ''BobAndMargaret'' was based. In this case the guests never get to yell "Surprise!"; they just stay in their hiding places and endure the awkward conversation that follows.

* Subverted in the film ''InGoodCompany'', where Dennis Quaid's character guesses about the surprise party and comes in in his underwear as a joke.

* Happens in the movie ''RidingTheBullet'' as the main character is contemplating slitting his wrists.
* Perhaps the most classic scene in ''AFishCalledWanda'', a film packed with classic scenes.
* The titular moment of ''AmericanPie'' - even funnier, more explicit and more em-bare-assing in the unrated DVD version.

* ''TinyToonAdventures'': Hamton finds himself naked outside after doing something stupid at Plucky's urging (namely, skinny dipping in Montana Max's personal pool). When Hamton finally makes it home, a surprise party is awaiting him and Plucky was aware of it.

* Happens to Kenan on ''KenanAndKel'', although he was not completely naked--just below the waist.

* This is inverted in one page of ''Webcomic/LeftoverSoup'', where it's the ones yelling "surprise" who are naked, much to Maxine's delight.

[[caption-width-right:350:The question is: Who was more surprised?]]

This trope is based off an old story, as {{Snopes}} explains [[http://www.snopes.com/love/betrayal/surpriseparty.asp here]] and [[http://www.snopes.com/risque/caught/surprise.asp here]]. TheReveal of the surprise guests almost always ends the story- very rarely does the party happen and then we see what happens next.

* The Creator/{{Cinemax}} show ''Life on Top'' manages to invert this trope: [[PornWithPlot being the kind of show that it is]], all of the ''guests'' are naked - then when the birthday girls shows up, it's with her parents in tow ...

* ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''. "I Only Have Surprise For You" Bloo arranges a surprise party for Mac, just as he got out of the bathtub and all the towels were gone. Bloo does this same prank again, only this time, he provides Mac with a ballerina costume.

* In the episode ''War'' from the ''Series/LaFemmeNikita'' TV series, assassins break into Nikita's apartment. They thought they'd get the drop on her. [[http://www.thewb.com/shows/la-femme-nikita/war/8a1525e017 They're wrong]].
