--> His first reaction into walking into a tavern and seeing everypony naked? "[[CrowningMomentOfFunny This is a whorehouse!]]"
--> Then, in a monolog: “Does this mean that the Princesses will also be naked? Oh, Father above, that’s gonna be fun. Why, hello there, so-called deities of sun and moon. No, I swear I wasn’t leering creepily at your haunches. I can’t even say I know what ‘leering’ means. Is it a type of frog?”

* In ''MoonZeroTwo,'' Clementine Taplin meets Bill Kemp this way.

* In '' Film/{{Dave}}'' the first time Dave meets the first lady he's in the shower. She thinks she's simply seeing her husband.
* In ''Film/{{Roxanne}}'' Creator/SteveMartin's character meets the titular Roxanne (Daryl Hannah) when she's locked herself out of her house [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside naked]].

For even more embarrassment, the naked character may OpenTheDoorAndSeeAllThePeople.

* Sportscaster Erin Andrews was propelled to fame when a [[ThePeepingTom a peephole video]] that shows her ritual of ironing naked, curling her hair in the nude and her casual nudity lifestyle that her [[StalkerWithACrush stalker]] [[ThePeepingTom secretly shot through peepholes]] in her hotel rooms at the Nashville Marriot at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN and Radisson Hotel in Milwaukee, WI went viral.

Guy enters an obscured area, sometimes in a hurry, and catches a girl with her pants down, undressed or in the bath/shower.

Reactions will differ. She may chase him down and beat the tar out of him. An InnocentFanserviceGirl will be oblivious to the reaction she's getting, a ShamelessFanserviceGirl won't give a damn, and a ReluctantFanserviceGirl will be mortified. Others may acknowledge that it's all an awkward accident. Still others might [[ShowSomeLeg actively ]]''[[ShowSomeLeg flaunt ]]''[[ShowSomeLeg their assets]]. Whatever her reaction, the girl may be asked to PleasePutSomeClothesOn.

* In MagiLabyrinthOfMagic, Aladdin and Morgianna first meet [[EstrogenBrigadeBait Sinbad,]] [[BigGood King of the Seven Seas,]] after he had been robbed blind of all but a single conveniently ([[FanService or not, depending on your tastes]]) fig leaf.

* In MagiTheLabyrinthOfMagic, Aladdin and Morgianna first meet [[EstrogenBrigadeBait Sinbad,]] [[BigGood King of the Seven Seas,]] after he had been robbed blind of all but a single conveniently ([[FanService or not, depending on your tastes]]) fig leaf.

* Occurs in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Blink" as Larry Nightingale's introduction to Sally Sparrow. (He's drunk, which might be an excuse for his inadvertent pantslessness. And he barely remembers it the next day.)

* When UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill was visiting Washington D.C. during World War II, FranklinDRoosevelt wheeled into his room for a chat, only to discover Churchill lounging around naked (as he often did at home). "Great Britain has nothing to hide from the United States," Churchill told him.

* In ''Doc Hollywood'', Julie Warner's character is first seen by Creator/MichaelJFox when she emerges from a lake where she's been skinny-dipping.

* The first time Creator/JohnBarrowman met his partner Scott was at one of his stage performances. Not only was he naked on stage as soon as the curtain opened, but Scott also got an eyeful when escorted to the dressing room of Barrowman, who was still undressed.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Lemongrab first meets his [[HoYay "companion"]], Lemongrab 2, when LG2 walks into the room naked. Lemongrab is confused at first, then intrigued. He walks up to Lemongrab 2 and inspects him, then pokes him repeatedly. Lemongrab 2 responds by poking Lemongrab back. After that, they smile and [[AmbiguouslyGay nuzzle their faces together lovingly]]. Two episodes after that, the two Lemongrabs are shown to have had children together.

* In ''ElfenLied'', Kouta and Yuka find Nyuu naked on a beach.

* In ''CodeGeass'', while it's not their first impression, the same episode that Lelouch and Kallen are properly introduced to each other, Kallen gets soaked with champagne. She takes a shower, he lends her his clothes, and she shows him her bare body, and the point of her knife. Ironically, she threatened - and nearly attempted to kill - him for something else, and her threat is what exposed her.

* November 11 in ''DarkerThanBlack'' does this to Mao after both being taking to meet Amber. Mao is appropriately freaked out as November 11 sits in a chair with a smile on his face. Played with, though, in that Mao is ''[[IntellectualAnimal a cat]]''.
* Akira from ''EdenOfTheEast'' meets the heroine Saki while he is naked. In front of the White House, no less.
* Happens, censored, in the VideoGame/GalaxyAngel gameverse (with Ranpha in a towel) and the manga based upon it (Milfeulle, hanging upside down from a crane, and her skirt rips).
* Miroku's first encounter with Kagome in ''InuYasha'' was in a hot spring.

* Hazumu from ''KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl'' already knows Yasuna and Tomari, but first encounters them nude after [[GenderBender transforming into a girl]].
* As well as Keitaro and Naru (not to mention most of the other girls as well) from ''LoveHina''.

* In ''MacrossFrontier'', Ranka first meets Alto while he's in the middle of changing into a LatexSpaceSuit for a stunt show. Both sides react rather calmly to the situation until Ranka hits his BerserkButton by admitting that she first thought she was looking at a beautiful, topless ''[[DudeLooksLikeALady girl]]'' from behind.
* In the first chapter of ''MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'', Thoma finds Lily naked in an abandoned lab.
* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', most points in which main hero Negi begins to get to know his students, it's usually while they're bathing: baka rangers in library island, [[ActionGirl Setsuna]] in Kyoto, etc. He usually gets away unharmed, though [[GroinAttack not in Setsuna's case]].

* Lucia tends to walk in on Kaito in the shower more and more as ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' progresses.
* In ''MidoriDays'', when Midori first appears on Seiji's hand, she pops out of his sleeve and reveals everything, just about paralyzing him in shock. After Midori [[HandOrObjectUnderwear hastily covers up]], Seiji slips out, "WHY DOES MY HAND HAVE BREASTS!?"

*** Asuka got what was coming for her in ''RebuildOfEvangelion 2.0'' where Shinji's toothpick holder scene was repeated, this time with Asuka on the receiving end. And Shinji was present as well. Cue Asuka turning beet red, sprinting across the kitchen stark naked and kicking him in the face. And she had the guts to call him a pervert when SHE ran out of the bathroom naked!

* Luffy and Boa Hancock do this on ''OnePiece'', although it's kind of a subversion because we don't really have any good [[NoHuggingNoKissing reason to think]] [[ChasteHero they'll get together]].

* [[GirlInABox Melfina]] is first encountered this way in ''OutlawStar''.
* Happens to Ranma and Akane ''twice'' in the first episode of ''[[RanmaOneHalf Ranma ½]]'', first with Akane walking in on Ranma and then the other way around.

* ''SpiceAndWolf'': Horo is quite naked when she first meets Lawrence and remains thus during most of the first episode.
* ''TenjhoTenge'' has a relationship like this when the hero is sent flying through the air to land on a girl as she was exiting the bath. Despite the fact that he literally crashed through the roof, she takes this as a sign that [[AccidentalMarriage they are married]]...
* In ''{{Tokko}}'', Ranmaru meets Sakura in BadDreams prior to meeting her in person. She's topless in the dreams for some reason.
* ''ToLoveRu'' does this with Lala and Rito's first meeting, when she appears naked in front of him while he's taking a bath in an explosion of water. The scene is made even funnier when he realizes that there's now a naked girl standing in front of him when he notices he's holding something soft and squishy.
* ''ThisUglyYetBeautifulWorld'' takes this trope literally. Hikari is completely naked upon meeting Takeru.

* Shunsuke first meets [[Yuria100Shiki Yuria]] in an alley wearing nothing but an overcoat ... and about to be taken advantage of by a stray dog.

* Although both clothed when they first meet, during their first meeting [[ToAruMajutsuNoIndex Index]] quickly challenges Touma's [[AntiMagic right hand]] against her magically enhanced robes. They're [[CrowningMomentOfFunny ripped to shreds]] and the poor girl is left without a stitch of clothing on her.

* Lampshaded / parodied in the first episode of ''DaaDaaDaa''. GenreSavvy Miyu worries constantly that she's going to be in this situation somehow. Guess what happens.

* In ''UmiNoMisaki,'' Nagi first sees Karin through the window while she's changing with the curtains open. She's just a bit too used to having an empty house in front of her, as Rinne points out.
* SoulEater first meets HotWitch CatGirl [[MsFanservice Blair]] while the latter is taking a bath.
* Considering the nature of ''MaicchinguMachikoSensei'', it's not surprising that this has happened to her more than once. One time, she was in the shower and a [[UnfortunateImplications visiting tribal leader caught a glimpse of her and had to be physically removed]]. Another time, a man mistakingly entered her home and caught her in the tub.
* In the spinoff manga "EurekaSeven: Gravity Boys and Lifting Girl", the main character Sumner witnesses a lifting competition, a sport in universe which is dominated by men and boys. Seeing the best boarder out there perform beyond expectations, Sumner rushes to the locker room to meet said lifter, only to catch a side view of a woman undressing from the clothes. She is notably pissed [[spoiler: and the character turns out to be Ruri, the heroine, who cross-dresses in order to get into lifting competitions.]]
* In ''FruitsBasket'', Tohru first encounters Isuzu in animal form, and when she reverts to human, she's naked. Due to Isuzu being exceptionally pretty (Tohru thought she has a supermodel body), it troubles Tohru even more than with boys.
* In ''GirlsBravo'', Yukinari finds a naked Miharu sleeping in her bed.

* Jon, a.k.a. Skeleton Man, was introduced to Tarot's mother this way in ''TarotWitchOfTheBlackRose''. Except that he was the naked one, not her. Not that he didn't see Tarot's mother naked later on, but that's what ''Tarot'' is all about.

* GreenLantern Kyle Rayner first meets his future girlfriend Jade when she shows up at his apartment hoping to stay with him, in spite of having never met or spoken to him. He wasn't home, so naturally she decides to break in to use the shower.
* In ComicBook/LesLegendaires: [[OriginEpisodes Origine]], [[TheHero Danael]] first met [[TheChick Jadina]] when she was bathing in a lake, having fallen near due to his ride's stupidity. Jadina was less than understanding and reacted by ''shooting a magic blast at him''. Amusingly enough, despite this violent first impression, they had one of the least violent relationship in the main serie.

* Happened to Changeling and Fauna in DCNation. Hades had forced the Titans to compete in the nude, then sent a zombie horde after he proved a sore loser. Fauna hid among the spectators, but her clothing came off when she changed shape and joined the battle. [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/424328.html?thread=8651912#t8651912 When they'd beaten back their attackers, they introduced themselves to one another, still not wearing a stitch]]. They started dating as soon as they got back to San Francisco.
* Happens a lot in HogwartsExposed, with the twist that the characters who are naked are nudists and not at all embarrassed to be seen like that - [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn but the other side usually is]].
* In the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfiction ''Fanfic/{{Jericho}}'', it it exaggerated, but justified. Jericho meets '''every''' Equestrian as they are naked. The thing is, Equestrians don't usually wear clothes, but Jericho is from a nation where ponies do wear clothing. HilarityEnsues.

* In ''TheElephantMan'', a nurse brings John some food and drops it with a scream when she sees him. From the way John hastily tries to cover himself with a sheet, it wasn't only his face she saw.

* In ''Doc Hollywood'', Julie Warner's character is first seen by MichaelJFox when she emerges from a lake where she's been skinny-dipping.

* In ''{{Dave}}'' the first time Dave meets the first lady he's in the shower. She thinks she's simply seeing her husband.
* In ''{{Roxanne}}'' Steve Martin's character meets the titular Roxanne (Daryl Hannah) when she's locked herself out of her house [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside naked]].
* In ''{{Wimbledon}}'' Paul Bethany's character walks into what he thinks is his hotel room only to find Kirsten Dunst's character taking a shower. However she takes it rather calmly and points him towards the exit.

* In Terry Brooks ''[[MagicKingdomOfLandover Magic Kingdom for Sale - SOLD!]]'', Ben Holiday first encounters his future wife, Willow, while she is naked and bathing. At least he has the decency to be somewhat put off by her opening line, "I am for you!", brought on because she has a prophecy that says [[BecauseDestinySaysSo she'll meet her true love this way]].

* In Tamora Pierce's ''[[TortallUniverse Wild Magic]]'', Numair is naked when first properly introduced to Daine, [[spoiler: having been shapeshifted into a hawk before]].
* In ''IncarnationsOfImmortality'', Zane met Luna, the love of his life, for the first time when her father used a summoning spell to fetch her, and ended up plucking her out of the shower.

* In ''TheTimeTravelersWife'', the titular time-traveler [[CantTakeAnythingWithYou can not take his clothes when he time travels involuntarly.]] So the first time his future wife in the past (um, wife in the present- [[YourHeadAsplode it's complicated]]) meets him. he is naked. And up until ''he'' meets ''her'' for the first time in the present, he's naked every time he meets her.

* A variation of this occurs in FightClub. [[TheNameless The Narrator]] first meets Tyler when the latter is naked on the beach making a giant hand. The variation, of course is [[spoiler: the Narrator and Tyler are the same person, so their meeting was just a delusion.]]

* In ''Literature/WarOfTheDreaming'' by JohnCWright, Raven first meets his wife when she decides to go running naked through the woods ([[CloudCuckooLander she's trying to remember how to fly]]).

* Used in a flashback episode of EverybodyLovesRaymond before the main couple got married. After delivering her futon and (mercilessly) finally asking Debra out, Ray leaves her apartment now believing himself to have left the greatest impression, and being 'The Man'. He re-enters to drop something off, only to barge in on her naked, getting ready for a shower. The rest of the episode involves him worrying about this to his brother, believing himself now to be the AccidentalPervert.

* This is River's introduction to the audience and the crew in ''{{Firefly}}''. Also the [[FullFrontalAssault screaming and the craziness.]]

* There is a character in ''GilmoreGirls'' which Rory meets at college that is known only as Naked Guy for a few episodes after she finds him naked in the hallway following a party. Later there are some romantic episodes between them.
* Not the ''first'' impression, but pretty close. In the first season of McLeodsDaughters, Nick walks into the bathroom while Tess is dressing. She covers herself with a towel, but doesn't realise until he leaves that he could see her rear in the mirror.

* On ''{{Smallville}}'', the main character's naked when he meets Lois Lane. And then [[NotHimself he tells her he's Kal-El of the planet Krypton]]. Didn't go over well.

* This is how [[FunnyForeigner Fez]] met Donna in ''That70sShow''. More exactly, he and [[DeadpanSnarker Hyde]] went into her room when she was changing her shirt and accidentally flashed them.

* In ''{{Sherlock}}'', Irene Adler does this ''deliberately'' when meeting Sherlock and John for the first time. It [[DistractedByTheSexy throws off John completely]], but more importantly, it flummoxes [[SherlockScan Sherlock's scan]] by giving him nothing to read. [[spoiler: Though he still notices her measurements and deduces that this is the combination to her safe.]]

* On ''TheBill'', Luke Ashton is splashed with mud on his first day back at Sun Hill and decides to sneak in a quick shower before reporting to his new superior officer. Said officer DS Craig Gilmore loses patience with Luke's tardiness and comes looking for him. This is the beginning of their [[WillTheyOrWontThey Will They Or Won't They]] situation.

** It's revisited ''twice'' in the same game. The first time is an inversion of the trope, with Lucia walking in on the game's protagonist Hiro in a public bath. Since she [[NoSocialSkills lacks social skills]], she doesn't see the harm in bathing on the men's side of the bath and just wants to be with her friends. Hiro's NonhumanSidekick Ruby prevents him from seeing any naughty bits initially by blocking his view, then by clawing his face to a bloody mess. The second instance has Hiro walking in on Lucia bathing along, but by this point in the adventure, she has actually become human enough to be genuinely (and very loudly) embarrassed about the whole thing.

* In [[MaxPayne Max Payne 2]] after initially seeing Mona Sax only for a few seconds and thus learning that despite the events from the previous game she is still alive, Max decides to meet her later on. When he finally finds her in her secret hideout she is taking a shower. She is rather calm about this, which enforces her FemmeFatale image and asks Max for a towel.
* [[GeniusBruiser Oleg]] is introduced this way in ''SaintsRowTheThird''.

* ''VideoGame/EarnestEvans'': Earnest first finds Annet naked on a sacrificial altar, before rescuing her (and giving her his jacket) . . . but only in the Japanese Sega CD version, as the American Genesis version [[NoExportForYou was missing all of the cutscenes]].

* In ''PokemonX'', the main character Brendan meets May by walking in on her in the midst of changing, naked from the waist up, resulting in a love/hate relationship.
* ''SluggyFreelance'' does this in the aptly-named "Game Called on Account of Naked Chick."
* In {{Outsider}}, this happens to the main character: Ensign Alexander Jardin. [[spoiler:After the destruction of his ship by an unknown enemy,]] Jardin wakes up naked and on a medical gurney, with two of the other main characters in the room. [[spoiler:As it turns out, he's on board the Loroi warship ''Tempest'', just as Fireblade starts the ''mind rape''. But waking up only postpones the inevitable.]]

* In ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'', Marie Zaid walks in on a showering Adam Dodd. It's... awkward.
* A romantic version of this trope occurs between the lovers in ''The Legend of Hayaoh'', the [[ShowWithinAShow story-within-a-story]] in ''{{Tasakeru}}''.

* Creator/CindyCrawford tells a ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' interviewer about the NakedFirstImpression that she made on a Pepsi representative when Pepsi flew her down to Barbados for an international meeting:

** For the record, [[http://www.barbados.org/beaches.htm it's against the law in Barbados]] whether you look like Cindy Crawford or Dorota from ''GossipGirl''. Incidentally, ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' and its ilk have been banned from the island since 1990 (curiously, this didn't happen until [[UnfortunateImplications ones with nude men began being sold there]]).
* The first time JohnBarrowman met his partner Scott was at one of his stage performances. Not only was he naked on stage as soon as the curtain opened, but Scott also got an eyeful when escorted to the dressing room of Barrowman, who was still undressed.
* When WinstonChurchill was visiting Washington D.C. during World War II, FranklinDRoosevelt wheeled into his room for a chat, only to discover Churchill lounging around naked (as he often did at home). "Great Britain has nothing to hide from the United States," Churchill told him.

----

* In ''Ender's Game'' it's implied that Ender met Petra that way. Though apparently she looked just like a boy. Huh.

-->'''Crawford:''' I left`it off and it was fine with everyone.
