History Main / ShamefulStrip

* In the second episode of ''[[Series/DesertPunk Desert Punk]]'', Rain Spider makes short work of two thugs who [[MuggingTheMonster tried to rob him]]. After defeating them, he makes them strip naked below he waist and sends them to walk in the hot desert back to the rest of their band. They initially protest that this is so humiliating that they'd rather die, but after Rain Spider takes out some "toys" (various weapons and bondage gear), they decide to walk.

* In ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', the party is captured and imprisoned, and the lead characters are tortured by the Sith. All of their equipment is confiscated and locked away (conveniently near the torture chamber) including their clothes, leaving them in their underwear.

* In ''{{Misfile}}'', Cassiel uses her angelic powers to make a fleeing [[TheLibby Libby]]'s top [[WardrobeMalfunction fall off]].

* ''{{Fallout}} 3'':

* In ''[[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Magical Records Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'', when the Huckebein captured Tohma's group, they proceeded to strip them of all the equipment they could remove. [[FanService Unsurprisingly]], while Tohma was able to keep the InstantArmor that came with his [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Black Knight form]], Lily and Isis were left completly naked while their enemies interrogated them.

* Seen an early ''VertigoComics'' series (mostly set in LasVegas; the hero had accidentally become a god) where a villain discusses the finer points of this technique -- when to strip the captives by force, and when to make them strip themselves.

** In ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'', Carrot orders a captured squad of enemy soldiers to be stripped for humiliation purposes, except for the officers, because you don't do that to officers. Good old ''Captain'' Carrot.

* Reportedly, during TheAmericanRevolution, one colonist was stripped naked and forced to walk home at a public protest of the Tea Act. Why? [[DisproportionateRetribution He had tea in his pocket.]]

* On ''TheSimpsons'', when Homer destroys the Sacred Parchment of the Stonecutters, he is forced to "walk home naked, dragging the Stone of Shame".

!!Examples:

* Happens twice in ''{{Redwall}}''; The vermin captives of the Bark Crew are stripped of their uniforms and forced to walk back to the fortress naked (and neck-deep in the sea, just to make matters even worse), and Flinky and Crinktail are "stripped to the fur" when captured by Raga Bol. May not have entirely the same impact as with humans, considering the HalfDressedCartoonAnimal phenomenon, but given that in another book a vermin {{Mook}} is embarrassed when BigBad Badrang cuts his kilt off, maybe it does.
* On ''TheSimpsons'', when Homer destroys the Sacred Parchment of the Stonecutters, he is forced to "walk home naked, dragging the Stone of Shame".
* The fantasy parody novel "Heroics for Beginners" features the BigBad's "Evil Assistant" tearing open the captive princess' blouse, on the grounds that exposing a female prisoner's body makes her feel more vulnerable. She's very surprised to encounter a chainmail bra underneath.
* LarryNiven and Jerry Pournelle's ''Oath of Fealty'': At the end of the novel, the captured ecofanatic saboteurs and some common criminals are stripped naked, painted, tattooed and left for the police to find.
* There was an early VertigoComics series (mostly set in LasVegas; the hero had accidentally become a god) where a villain discusses the finer points of this technique--when to strip the captives by force, and when to make them strip themselves.
* ''Film/HeavyMetal'': When Taarna is captured by the Barbarian Leader, he has her stripped.
* A running gag in ''{{Exiern}}'', mostly played for [[strike:{{Fanservice}}]] [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]].
* In ''{{Misfile}}'' Cassiel uses her angelic powers to make a fleeing [[{{The Libby}} Libby]]'s top [[WardrobeMalfunction fall off]].
* In ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'', Carrot orders a captured squad of enemy soldiers to be stripped for humiliation purposes, except for the officers, because you don't do that to officers. Good old ''Captain'' Carrot.
** Also occurs in ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment'' where [[SergeantRock NCO Jackrum]] has the captured soldiers ''including the officers'' stripped nude, chained up, and left to hop home.
* During the climax of ''Disney/TheHunchbackofNotreDame'', when [[BigBad Judge]] [[CompleteMonster Frollo]] and his guards are preparing to sentence Esmeralda to death by [[BurntheWitch being burned at the stake,]] before the execution even took place it's actually implied that all but one of Esmeralda's outfits were destroyed by Frollo so she can be executed properly, and the only outfit Frollo didn't destroy? A white dress. Guess where she was hiding that dress all along!
** Earlier in the film, Phoebus is literally stripped of his armor as a result of him refusing to burn down a cottage with its inhabitants still inside.
* This is actually an aspect in ''SuperRobotWars OriginalGeneration'' starting from the OVA, and goes as far as nakedness. The autonomous system ODE captures humans to become the core of their units. In process, they strips their victims naked, tie them with cords of the machine, and make their life force be the fuel of the Bartoll robots, until they die off the loss of blood. Of course, the peak of the FanService of this scenario was when they happen to capture the protagonist group member with the biggest melons of all, Lamia Loveless. She's not spared of the treatment, so off they go stripping her naked. Imagine that you see her unexposed breasts while she's being forced to fight the team! She managed to live instead of dying with loss of life force, thanks to her [[RobotGirl unorthodox inner structure of her body]].
** Duminuss repeats this practice in ''OriginalGeneration [[GaidenGame Gaiden]]'', on Lamia again. Or maybe that's because she forgot to bring some spare clothes.

* ''{{Life on Mars}}''. Happens to Sam Tyler after he's slipped a mickey by a prostitute in a frame-up. He wakes up tied to a bed with Gene Hunt kicking down the door accompanied by WPC Anne Cartwright. Considering Annie's embarrassment and Gene's quip of "it's not all golf and badminton in Hyde, eh?", it's fairly safe to say Sam was naked.

Female reaction tends towards LuminescentBlush and plans to use "[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean special interrogation techniques]]"). Male variants can involve humiliation, defiance, or causing the male guards to feel [[BiggerIsBetterInBed shame and inadequacy]].
