'''Axl:''' "Ah, okay. Your flies undone."\\

* {{Subverted}} in ''Series/AgentCarter''. When trying to get Jarvis out of a room (he's trying to get through the doorway), Peggy tells him his fly is open and shuts the door as he looks down to check.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Crabgrass}}'': This happens to Miles in [[https://www.gocomics.com/crabgrass/2020/12/07 this comic]]. Kevin wasted no time to tell Miles girlfriend about it.

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'', "The One with All the Poker".

* ''Series/TheGoodies''. Bill Oddie dresses in {{blackface}} and starts channelling Music/LouisArmstrong.

* Series/{{Frasier}} shows up for a job interview with his fly unzipped and his shirt sticking out. The interviewer tries to discreetly point it out but Frasier thinks the man is commenting on the belt he chose to wear. It isn't until he looks down that Frasier realises what the interviewer was actually referring to.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'' had Jay make an obscure reference that has both Duke and Doris start laughing, then Duke leans in:

--><Duke glances down, then begins laughing harder>

* An extra in the bleachers of ''Film/TeenWolf'' is caught on camera completely unzipped, hastily covering the calumny with a knit sweater. At first, it was speculated that this was a guy over-appreciating the young men on court; however, it was later revealed to be a woman who'd squeezed herself into too-tight slacks so as not to seem fat on set. This shot is a staple of {{Blooper}} reviews.
* In ''Film/JustTheWayYouAre'', Susan and Frank attend a party with Frank's boss Earl. When Susan notices that Earl's fly is open, neither of them wants to mention it, so Susan pretends to drop food in his lap and then zips his fly while picking it up.

** Referenced in another episode, when Randy worries that he's TheUnfavorite since Brad and Tim share interests in things like sports and tools. Tim assures him they're NotSoDifferent and have similar ''personalities'', with the example that if either one is caught with a fly down, they're not going to miss a chance to make a quip about it.

* Early in ''Film/AmericanAdobo'', Raul shows up to a gathering with his zipper down - he had just left from a sexual encounter.
