** In the spincycle ep, Lacey learns that the women of Dogriver have a nude calendar every few years or so and she is tasked to find people to sign up. Karen and Wanda are about to strip wherever they were and Lacey stops them each time. Turns out Emma thought Lacey wouldn't bother with being in the calendar so Lacey goes to her and the photographer and strips naked. then it turns out that the photographer was just a customer of the diner.

* Jackass. Nuff' said.

* Werewolf Sergeant Angua of [[{{Discworld}} the Watch]] often goes "plainclothes" in the course of the investigation, and when she needs the use of hands or a non-wolf mind, she usually doesn't have her clothes on hand. While usually alone or with a fellow officer who's polite enough to close his eyes while she's naked, twice in ''{{Jingo}}'' she's forced into a situation where she appears naked in front of strangers. Both times, she tells off the gawker while turning nearby curtains or a tent into makeshift clothing.

* Marvel's Susan Storm-Richards, AKA: The Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four, has sometimes been a victim of unwanted public nudity, usually just narrowly avoiding complete and utter humiliation by turning invisible.
* In ''Catwoman: When In Rome'', DC anti-heroine Selina Kyle is forced to jump out the window completely naked when her hotel room is bombed and survives by landing in the pool in broad daylight, with the Riddler and Italian hitman known as the Blonde landing in the pool with her. The naked and very wet Selina manages to stay in control despite her sexual humiliation being played for laughs.

* During PeterDavid's run on ''Comics/TheIncredibleHulk,'' the Leader shoots the Hulk with a BFG, seriously injuring him and incinerating his clothes. The Hulk regenerates almost immediately, but his clothes don't. The Leader requests, (more or less) "Dr. Banner, please! There are ladies present... And you're making some of us men feel inadequate."

* Also from a manga of Hiro Mashima's, Julius of ''RaveMaster''. At first he was just a pretty boy. Once he became a [[GoodIsDumb good guy]] he took his narcisim to the next level by insisting that not only should everyone be able to see his beautiful face, but also his legs, chest, and d*** . His explenation for why he'd strip usually didn't include the actual reason for why he stripped.

* ''Euro Trip'' involved a nude beach scene. In it, the main male characters try to visit a nude beach to check out naked European women, only to discover it's full of naked men who had the same idea. When the main girl character takes her shirt off to tan in her bikini, they're chased down the beach by hordes of naked men desperate to see a nude girl. Later in the film, the girl who is the main character's love interest strips down and loses her virginity to him in a confession booth, and her buttocks are squashed into a vent and see through glass for comic effect.

* The opening credits of ''[[AustinPowers Austin Powers: The Spy who Shagged Me]]'' play over a scene wherein Austin decides to celebrate his newfound singleness by taking a stroll through the hotel in the buff, his naughty parts concealed by various objects.

Nudity is one of the last great taboos, particularly in the United States. Whereas it's OK to show violence, blood, and to a certain extent hate speech on TV, a tiny bit of nudity can be scandalous - just ask [[WardrobeMalfunction Janet Jackson]].

* Said nudists will either be extremely puritanical, and often militant about their nudity (so called "Right to Nude" activists demanding the right to go naked on a local beach, for example) or extremely perverse (in which case they are really "swingers"). Almost universally, they will refuse to acknowledge ([[RaisedByWolves or genuinely not recognize]]) that they are making other people uncomfortable with their nudity, nor will they ever get uncomfortable themselves. ([[TruthInTelevision This one has a surprising amount of truth to it]].)

* The episode "Over Exposed" in [[{{Sixteen}} 6teen]], where Jonesy ends up seeing Jen naked. They both ''freak out'' over it, swearing never to mention it again, but word gets out and awkwardness ensues. Eventually another girl shows Jen a picture of Jonesy naked in order to make her feel comfortable again.

* The [[CrowningMomentofFunny funniest scene]] in ''Sideways'' happened to use this trope.

** Played straight with Terry Jones' nude organist character in many episodes. Subverted in "The Dull Life of a City Stockbroker", the humour being the complete ''non''-reaction by the title character to an attractive topless clerk at the chemist (part of a running gag involving his [[DontExplainTheJoke lack of reaction to any of the outrageous circumstances surrounding him]]). There's also Carol Cleveland's semi-topless scene at the end of the "Scott of the Antarctic (Sahara)" sketch, and the surprise bare-bottom scene at the end of the "Sit on My Face" song from ''Live at the Hollywood Bowl''. The Pythons had a lot of fun with this trope.

* ''Sideways'' [[CrowningMomentofFunny funniest scene]] happened to use this trope.

* In [[{{Redwall}} Martin the Warrior]], the BigBad Badrang cuts a random minion's belt when he finds himself needing a rope. The belt was holding up the kilt which was the only thing said minion was wearing, and he ends up with his fellow soldiers and the whole slave line laughing at him. Since they have fur, this [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal may not be as big a deal as usual]].
* In ''The Trouble With Moonlight'' by Donna MacMeans, the heroine, Lusinda Havershaw, is a beautiful virgin who can turn invisible when she absorbs enough moonlight, but her clothes do not turn invisible with her, so in order to work as a spy and retriever of lost trinkets she must be completely naked. If she is away from the moonlight for too long, her invisibility will wear off and she will phase back into her visible self. Three times in the book she becomes trapped in a house on a mission and away from moonlight and she is forced to make a hasty escape before her invisibility wears off, so as to avoid capture and humiliation (in both instances, she is witnessed in her half visible state and assumed to be a ghost, at one point referred to as "a ghost with a shapely backside.").

* There is actually a show from the Ukraine called "Naked and Funny", which is a hidden camera show in the style of Candid Camera, but often featuring public nudity played for laughs. It's also one of the many reasons to love Europe.

* Said nudists will either be extremely puritanical, and often militant about their nudity (so called "Right to Nude" activists demanding the right to go naked on a local beach, for example) or extremely perverse (in which case they are really "swingers"). Almost universally, they will refuse to acknowledge ([[RaisedByWolves or genuinely not recognize]]) that they are making other people uncomfortable with their nudity, nor will they ever get uncomfortable themselves.

* Hal Sparks once did an entire episode of ''TalkSoup'' in the buff. OrSoIHeard.

* You get some funny remarks in ''TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' when you talk to people naked.

** Comes to a head in the latest CrowningMomentOfFunny when the heroes accidentally find out [[http://www.onemanga.com/Mahou_Sensei_Negima!/285/06/ how Evangeline spends her free time]].
