History Main / ShamefulStrip

* In ''What Chapter 372 of Fairy Tail Should Have Been'', Erza outright punishes Kyouka for imposing this on her, for the reasons mentioned in the Anime/Manga section on this page, and subjects ''Kyouka herself'' to a nastier and grosser variation thereof. Strip ''her'' naked? [[DisproportionateRetribution Nah. That's too nice. Let's rip her stomach open and ]] '''[[{{Gorn}} vivisect her!!]]'''

* Features in the Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise arc of ''Manga/BlackLagoon''. After [[spoiler:Yukio Washimine]] is captured [[spoiler:by Chaka and his group]], her captors play [[StripPoker strip bowling]]: for every strike, they remove a piece of clothing from her. By the time we see her she has lost her shoes, socks, skirt and bra, [[FridgeLogic but for some reason she can still cover herself with her (unbuttoned) shirt.]] (Likely to avert ExecutiveMeddling) Given that they were planning on selling her as a SexSlave, this would probably have gone further had they [[BigDamnHeroes not been interrupted.]]
* ''Anime/BlueCometSPTLayzner'' has [[TheHero Eiji]] captured, stripped naked and locked in a padded cell [[spoiler: by human {{mad scientist}}s who plan to study him like a lab rat for being half-human, half-Gradosian]]. His sister Julia gets stripped to her underwear [[spoiler: by Gosterro, who does so ''in public'']].

** Also, a captured [[spoiler:Yuno]] gets subjected to ClothingDamage and then pinned down with only half her clothes on when [[spoiler: Tsubaki, already VERY pissed off due to [[AnArmAndALeg having lost one of her hands]] to Yuno herself, orders her minions to gangrape her.]] In the anime it's even worse, since all her clothes save for her panties are taken off.

* Happens to [[spoiler:Ritsuko Takahashi]] in ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'', when [[spoiler: she's kidnapped, stripped and almost murdered by a mentally/emotionally shattered Yukime]].

* In ''Manga/SakuraGari'', Masataka finds a picture of a half-naked girl who's also BoundAndGagged. [[spoiler: She's a former maid who was TheMistress to Souma; Sakurako stripped her almost naked, tortured her into almost insanity ''and'' took pictures due to jealousy.]] Also Masataka himself, he is forced to strip naked [[spoiler:in front of Souma, who's blackmailing him into having sex with him]].
* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': In the novel Seishiro dishes out ClothingDamage to Sayuri during their fight. She is battered and humiliated, trying to hold the front of her shirt closed and the crowd chants for him to strip her naked. He agrees but just punches her causing her shirt to fall open. He sneers at her telling her to keep her body to herself.

* Used in ''Manga/TokyoGhoul[=:Re=]'' as the prelude to MedicalHorror. While visiting his newest "patient", MadScientist [[TheSociopath Dr. Kanou]] yanks off [[spoiler: Takizawa]]'s sheets and leaves him completely exposed while discussing the upcoming experiments. The scene further drives home how Kanou's victims are utterly dehumanized, routinely kept naked and treated like animals. It doesn't help that said scene ends with the "good doctor" promising to return later for some routine tests -- one of which will involve [[RapeDiscretionShot forced]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil ejaculation]].

* ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} did this to the villainess Plastique when he used his power to de-atomize her clothes so he could get the bombs that were attached to her and dispose of them safely somewhere else, leaving the beautiful red-haired villainess completely naked and humiliated in public (and played for laughs, no less, even though her NakedFreakOut is more or less off camera). Also a very cruel example of NakedPeopleAreFunny as Plastique's would-be victims start laughing at the hapless villainess as she tries to cover herself, as well as a reverse of NakedPeopleTrappedOutside. Considering that she had just tried to murder them in a SuicideAttack, you could say she has it coming.

* In ''What Chapter 372 of Fairy Tail Should Have Been'', Erza outright punishes Kyouka for imposing this on her, for the reasons mentioned in the Anime/Manga section in this page, and subjects ''Kyouka herself'' to a nastier and grosser variation thereof. Strip ''her'' naked? [[DisproportionateRetribution Nah. That's too nice. Let's rip her stomach open and ]] '''[[{{Gorn}} vivisect her!!]]'''

** Even before, Gendo has sold Ritsuko out to SEELE in order to protect Rei from them. As in canon, SEELE interrogates her in the nude. Afterwards, Ritsuko feels humiliated and betrayed, and mentally vows revenge to Rei.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'': During the climax, when [[BigBad Judge Frollo]] and his guards are preparing to sentence Esmeralda to death by [[BurntheWitch being burned at the stake]] and all she's given to wear is a chemise, or a women's undergarment worn during the time period, and it may or may not have been hers after her other clothes were taken. This was fairly common at the time and up until the mid-1800's, buying and selling of second-hand clothes was extremely common. In the case of criminals, frequently the jailer would be the one to profit from the sale, so you had to be pretty important/popular to be allowed to keep your own clothes.

* Some films from the [[CannibalFilm cannibal explotation films]], will use this trope before the character suffers a gruesome death.

* A more downplayed version in ''Film/{{Blackburn}}'' in which one of the female characters spend most of the movie wearing a pink hoodie over her white tank top, but when she's being held captive by the ones that are attacking her and the other survivors, she's only has her pink hoodie stripped off, while she keeps her tank top and rest of clothing.
* ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid'': Etta, a school marm, returns home and is surprised to find Sundance, an outlaw, waiting for her. At gunpoint, he tells her to strip, which she spitefully does. It looks like it's all a preamble to a rape, but then Etta chastises Sundance for always coming home late. It's a BaitAndSwitch. They're a romantic couple role-playing.

* In the film ''Film/{{Detroit}}'' [[BasedOnATrueStory based on]] [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot the 1967 Detroit riot]], a group of young people are essentially held hostage by the cops until they admit who was taking pot shots at the police. When they drag one of the young women off to interrogate her, they proceed to call her a whore (particularly disgusted because she and her friend are two white girls hanging out with black guys) and tear her clothes off until she's completely naked, then laugh at her humiliation.

* ''Film/EscapeRoom2017'': Christen is captured, stripped naked and locked in a small cage where she is forced to crouch while he friends navigate the escape room. For further humiliation, images of her are broadcast to her friends inside the escape room.

** ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' features something of a time-delayed reaction to this. It wasn't being stripped down to her panties that shamed the lovely Plenty O'Toole -- in fact she sounds rather pleased with herself after it happens --, it was Plenty being caught ''after'' it happened by some generic thugs that caused her to be humorously shamed.

* In ''Film/KingOfTheLostWorld'', Dana and Natalie after getting captured by the natives of the island get stripped naked and forced to wear loincloth.

* In ''Film/LostHighway'', Alice is forced to strip in front of the baddies at gun point, though her facial expression mixes it with DefiantStrip.

* In ''Film/TheRibaldTalesOfRobinHood'', Robin has the Sheriff and Lady Sallyforth stripped, tied back to back and sent back to Nottingham on the back of a horse. Lady Sallyforth later returns the favour by cutting Marian's clothes off while Marian is a prisoner in her dungeon.

* In the film ''Film/{{Slashers}}'', where the main characters enter an Japanese blood sport game show where the contestants can win millions of dollars if they survive being hunted through various arenas by costumed killers, the lead character Megan Lowry gets stripped by one of the killers at the start of the game, leaving her naked until one of other female contestants hands over her clothes for Megan, only for Megan to get stripped off yet again, forcing her to salvage the clothes of one of the already dead female contestants.

* In ''Film/{{Suffragette}}'' the protagonists are forced to strip and change into prison clothes. In protest against this treatment, and the general fact that they are not treated like political prisoners, they go on a hunger strike.

* ''Film/TrueLies'': Finding that his wife Helen has been cheating on him while he's been traveling around the world on missions for the CIA, Harry Tasker punishes her by having her kidnapped, locked in a dark, mirrored room where he and his partner harshly interrogate her (their voices grotesquely altered by a vocoder device) from an unseen location, and then forced to take part in a "spy mission" that ends with her stripping down to (very skimpy) underwear for the amusement of an unidentified man sitting in the shadows -- who, of course, turns out to be Harry himself. He intended it to be a fulfillment of a fantasy of hers but DidntThinkThisThrough, and gets brained by her with a telephone for his troubles when [[QuestionableConsent he tries to, ahem, take it further]]. More than any other scene in the movie, that's the one that elicited an enraged, DudeNotFunny reaction from lotsa people (and not ''only'' feminists).

* In Creator/LarryNiven and Creator/JerryPournelle'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.

** In ''A Clash of Kings'', King Joffrey Baratheon strips his bethrothed, Sansa Stark, publicly as punishment for her brother Robb's rebellion before Tyrion intervenes. (It's implied that this was at least as much because Joffrey is a horny 13-year-old boy as for humiliation value.)

** Cersei Lannister later goes on a naked "Walk of Shame" through the streets of King's Landing as an alternative to imprisonment. This is ostensibly a voluntary move to atone for her sins and show humility before the gods as opposed to pure humiliation, although the loss of face is the real political reason why it was allowed. For her part, Cersei decided she would be able do it without being ashamed, but she is disabused of this over the course of the walk, and ends it scrambling tearfully up the steps of the palace trying to cover herself.

** The first person known to be subjected to the "Walk of Shame" was Mysaria, the paramour of Daemon Targaryen and the Mistress of Whisperers to his wife, Queen Rhaenyra. During the Dance of the Dragons, after Rhaenyra was forced to leave King's Landing, Mysaria was told that she could escape execution by walking naked across the city. She only made it halfway through before dying on the cobblestones, presumably because unlike Cersei, nobody stepped in when the abuse went too far.

* In the ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'' novels, Taysans are culturally extremely modest and cover up everything except their hands, neck and faces. When Mizal, a government agent, is captured and tortured by an alien (to her) drug baron, she is stripped to humiliate her and her mutilated body is returned to her people naked. Her fellow agent Jay reflects when he sees her that whoever did it 'knew Taysans'.

* Done to Kahlan by Emperor Jagang in the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series while she was his captive. Like with most other things he did, Jagang got a two-fold benefit. Not only did he get to see her naked (a substantial prize in itself), but the purpose was to march her around his army's camp that way. At that point, a spell had made her an UnPerson who was forgotten before her presence was noticed by 99.99% of humanity. By marching her around the camp, Jagang found the .01% who noticed the naked, beautiful, and unclaimed woman in their midst and rounded them up to be Kahlan's personal guards, the only ones who would actually ''notice'' if she tried to escape. During the event itself, though, Kahlan wisely tried to downplay the "Shameful" aspect as much as possible. Jagang's intention was to humiliate her as much as anything, so rather than muck about and stall by moving slowly, folding her clothes, etc. and giving him the satisfaction of her discomfort, she simply shucked everything off like pulling a band-aid and played it off as no big deal. It would be much more remarkable if she hadn't led an army while stark-naked and painted white. Both times there were a number of clever reasons for her to do it, but it was essentially contrived {{Fanservice}}.

* In ''Series/TwentyFour'' season 2, Jack escorts his traitorous former ally Nina to an undercover assignment. She tries to go the bathroom to change but he forces her to change in front of him where he can see her.

* Subverted in the first season of the rebooted ''Series/{{Dallas}}''. Ann Ewing goes to her ex-husband Harris' office, and offers herself to him so that he won't blackmail Sue Ellen during the Texan governor's race. She shamefully begins to unbutton her top as Harris looks on gleefully...and then it's revealed that she was wearing a wire under her blouse, and just recorded Harris confessing to his corrupt activities.

** In Season 5, the High Septon, a man who had taken a vow of celibacy, is caught being serviced in a brothel. He is punished by being marched through the streets naked, and is whipped every time he tries to cover himself.

* In the pilot episode of ''Series/HawaiiFive0'', Kono (Grace Park) is forced to strip to her underwear by a Hawaiian gangster to prove she's not wearing a wire. He then takes her picture while she's still undressed, an act that seems like gratuitous sleeze [[spoiler:until he later sends the picture to [[TheMole a mole]] inside the police department to doublecheck her identity.)]]

* ''Series/InTheDark'': Josiah orders Murphy to strip as proof she's not wired. This means ''naked'', rather than just to her underwear. Felix however just gets a pat down. Murphy does it unhappily.

* ''Series/Loki2021'': While being processed by the [[TimePolice TVA]], Loki is shoved into a chamber with a [[TheNudifier robot]] that burns away his Asgardian clothing and leaves him completely naked save for the prison collar placed on him. He's visibly uncomfortable being so exposed even though there's nobody around to see him. After a few seconds he's dumped through a trapdoor that dresses him in a jumpsuit giving him back some dignity.

** One episode that dealt with torture used this. The Captor even stated coldly, as he used a knife to peel away Captain Picard's clothing, "From this point on, you will experience no privilege of rank, no privileges of person. From now on, I will refer to you only as ''human''. You have no other identity." Picard is then hung up by his arms, stark naked and left there overnight. He's later given a barely concealing garment to wear, both because a later scene featured a child, and also because it would have been difficult to show body language without showing, well, his body.

* A subversion in the Legend of [[GodivaHair Lady Godiva]]. She has been pleading with her husband to lift oppressive taxes on the peasants in their village, and he agrees, on the condition that she ride through town naked. She agrees, and uses the nudity as a symbol of the peasants' tax-related plight. [[spoiler:He does actually hold up his end of the deal.]]

* ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}'': This happens to the Pandavas after Duryodhana and his uncle Shakuni lead Yudhishthira to gamble away his kingdom, his brothers, and finally his queen Draupadi on a game of dice. Duryodhana orders the brothers to strip since he now owns all their possessions including their clothes but crosses the line when he orders Dushasana to forcibly disrobe Draupadi. Realizing no-one can save her, Draupadi prays to Krishna who performs a miracle which causes her sari to keep extending.

* "The Precious One" Gilbert stripped Orlando Colon as El Gran Armando and Pedro Portillo III restrained him on the July 20 2019 ''WWC Superestrellas''. This was so Gilbert would have more skin to cut as he beat Orlando bloody with a [[GrievousBottleyHarm broken wine bottle]].

** Happens again in ''[[Series/TheDarkCrystalAgeOfResistance Age of Resistance]]''. Seladon dresses like the Skek'Sis, hoping to appease the supposedly benevolent rulers of Thra. By that point they drop all pretense and flat out admit that they want to kill all Gelflings, before attacking her and tearing off her clothes, and throwing her into a cell.

* Saki from ''VideoGame/ArTonelico3'' is forced by Sarapatra to strip in front of her assembled citizens in exchange for freeing her people who are kept hostage. Afterwards, she is practically disposed because her citizens have lost all faith in her. It should be mentioned, though, [[spoiler:that all of this happens in Saki's mind and that it can be averted, as if the player takes the correct decisions, the strip show gets ruined due to the lights suddenly failing.]]

** Happens to Chuck Greene in [[VideoGame/DeadRising2 the sequel]] if he gets sprayed in the face with spray paint and hit on the head by Fortune City looters. He wakes up in the nearest bathroom stall with all of his clothes (save for boxers), inventory and money gone.
* Something similar (but without the torture) happens in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', if you get captured and imprisoned during a certain quest. Perhaps slightly ironically, the fact the female Warden is only wearing underwear can help her escape if she can convince the guard that she's feeling lonely and get him to open the door. Rather amusing considering [[TooDumbToLive Alistair is sharing the cell with the Warden]]. Male Wardens can play the "I'm lonely" card too. [[FauxYay On the male jailer]].

** The Mothership Zeta DLC also starts like this, and leaves you that way until you can find your gear in a conveniently close storage container. No torture occurs, but there are apparent experiments that took place before hand.

** Cecile, who walks into a Peace Sentinel base by accident, was captured, blindfolded and stripped to her underwear. Fortunately she was well taken care of by Dr. Strangelove.

** This is an aspect in ''Original Generation'' starting from the OVA, and goes as far as nakedness. The autonomous system ODE captures humans to become the core of their units. In the process, they strip 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 from loss of blood. This ends up happening to protagonist group member, Lamia Loveless, though she managed to live instead of dying from loss of life force, thanks to her [[RobotGirl unorthodox inner structure of her body]].

** In the story arc "The Sharp End of the Stick", Kevyn, Elf, and their companions are all forced to strip by their captor Shufgar. Since the comic is PG-rated, for much of the story after that the author uses creative angles and handy scenery to cover the characters' naughty bits.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', when Homer destroys the Sacred Parchment of the Stonecutters, he is forced to "walk home naked, dragging the Stone of Shame". Until they spot a birthmark on his rear marking him as TheChosenOne. They then remove the Stone of Shame, and attach the Stone of Triumph (about twice as big) instead.

* On ''Film/{{Cobra}}'', he gets into an argument with a gang member and he humiliates him by ripping off his shirt.

* On ''Film/{{Cobra}}'', he gets into an argument with a gang member and he humiliates him by ripping off his shirt. This scene is infamous because the gang member's microphone pack can be seen taped to his chest.

** The first person known to be subjected to the "Walk of Shame" was Mysaria, the paramour of Daemond Targaryen and the Mistress of Whisperers to his wife, Queen Rhaenyra. During the Dance of the Dragons, after Rhaenyra was forced to leave King's Landing, Mysaria was told that she could escape execution by walking naked across the city. She only made it halfway through before dying on the cobblestones.

** In ''A Clash of Kings'', King Joffrey strips Sansa Stark publicly as punishment for her brother's rebellion before Tyrion intervenes. (It's implied that this was at least as much because Joffrey is a horny 13-year-old boy as for humiliation value.)
** Following the ironborn conquest of the Shield Islands, King Euron celebrates his victory with a feast in the castle of the defeated Lord Hewett, with Lord Hewett tied to his chair and forced to watch while his wife and daughters serve their conquerors. During the course of the feast, Hewett's illegitimate daughter Falia suggests that the ladies be forced to remove their fine clothes to avoid getting them dirty. Euron agrees and seems to enjoy it, but Victarion [[EvenEvilHasStandards considers this dishonorable]].

* ''Film/TrueLies'': Finding that his wife Helen has been cheating on him while he's been traveling around the world on missions for the CIA, Harry Tasker punishes her by having her kidnapped, locked in a dark, mirrored room where he and his partner harshly interrogate her (their voices grotesquely altered by a vocoder device) from an unseen location, and then forced to take part in a "spy mission" that ends with her stripping down to (very skimpy) underwear for the amusement of an unidentified man sitting in the shadows -- who, of course, turns out to be Harry himself. More than any other scene in the movie, that's the one that elicited an enraged, DudeNotFunny reaction from lotsa people (and not ''only'' feminists).

* Some films from the [[CannibalFilm cannical explotation films]], will use this trope before the character suffers a gruesome death.

* In ''Film/TheWickerMan'': The villagers do this to Sergeant Howie before he is sacrificed.

* In ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'', when a Greeed is stripped of its Core Medals it is also stripped of the clothes and armor they are wearing.

* ''Film/ElviraMistressOfTheDark'' features Elvira ripping the top off her blonde rival Patty when Patty tries to come between Elvira and her love interest Bob. It gets even worse for Patty when the ripping stripping reveals to the entire public in broad daylight that Patty is actually ''flat chested'' and was stuffing her shirts the whole film to make herself look more buxom and shapely than she really was, leaving Patty completely humiliated (though she is kind of a bitch so you can't feel too bad for her).

* ''Film/JamesBond'':
** In ''Film/DrNo'', it is implied that Dr. No's guards did this to Honey Rider off-screen, as when Bond rescues her at the end, she is barefoot and pantsless.
** ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' features something of a time-delayed reaction to this. It wasn't being stripped down to her panties that shamed the lovely Plenty O'Toole -- in fact she sounds rather pleased with herself after it happens --, it was Plenty being caught ''after'' it happened by some generic thugs that caused her to be humorously shamed.
** A variation of this happens in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights''. After Bond has confronted Pushkin, an alarm is sounded, and Bond forces Puskin's girlfriend Kata to take her top off, but ''not'' because he has anything against her -- he has her face the door so that when a bodyguard charges in, he's [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted by the now-topless girl]], so he can ambush the guard. (Once he does that, he throws her a towel and tells her to lock herself in the bathroom so he and Pushkin can have words.) Later in the movie a prison guard orders Kara to strip (after saying he [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil hasn't had a female prisoner in a long time]]) but Bond intervenes before he can force her to do so.

* ''Joy Ride''
** In ''Film/JoyRide'', Rusty blackmails Lewis and Fuller into walking across a parking lot and into a crowded diner completely nude to show them what humiliation feels like.
** ''Film/JoyRide2DeadAhead'' has Rusty blackmailing Melissa into stripping down to her underwear while he records it...only for her to discover that the trucker she stripped for wasn't Rusty. Making matters worse, said trucker promptly [[InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube uploads the video to the Internet.]].
* In ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'', the heroine Elizabeth Swann is forced to strip off her dress while walking the plank, much to the amusement of the pirates. At least she still had her slip on underneath. The pirate captain Barbossa demands it because he loaned her the dress and wants it back, but it's clear it's really just to humiliate her.
** Earlier she agrees to an "invitation" to a dinner with Barbossa (while wearing said dress) under the threat of otherwise having to dine with the crew, naked.

* ''Film/TheMaskOfZorro'':
** Elena is stripped, albeit humorously, by Zorro after their duel.
** PlayedForLaughs as well when the Murrieta brothers tie a group of captured Mexican soldiers by the wrists and place them around a cactus, facing it and stripped from the waist down. If any of the soldiers tries to get away from the cactus, the one on the other side [[GroinAttack will get the... touch of the cactus in his privates.]]
* In the movie ''Film/{{Shuttle}}'' (2008), the Driver forces both Jules and Mel to strip down to their bra and panties before making them put on high heels for an inspection.
* In ''Film/LostHighway'', Alice is forced to strip in front of the baddies at gun point, though her facial expression mixes it with DefiantStrip.
* There is a TV movie called ''Strip Search'' which was of course, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. During one sequence, an interrogator played by Ken Leung of ''Series/{{Lost}}'' fame is interrogating a stripped Creator/MaggieGyllenhaal. Just to add insult to injury, he performs a cavity search on her, very clearly out of a desire to terrify and humiliate her more than any belief he's going to find anything. Not surprisingly, as soon as he leaves the room, she bursts into tears and smashes every piece of furniture in the room.
* A Dutch film called ''The Dress'' focuses on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a dress]] that brings [[TheJinx bad luck to anyone who wears it,]] and a train conductor who is obsessed with whatever woman currently has it on. When the dress and the conductor both reach a schoolgirl, he forces her to strip naked; the camera [[MaleGaze lingers on her embarrassment.]]
* The climax of ''Film/Batman1989'' appears to be heading in this direction, with ComicBook/TheJoker taking Vicki Vale up to the top of the Gotham City Cathedral at gunpoint. He removes Vicki's shoes and throws them down the stairs, then removes her coat and drapes it over the railing... leaving Vicki wearing only a sheer white dress not unlike the standard woman's "shift" undergarment from the Renaissance era or earlier [[FridgeBrilliance (and they]] ''[[FridgeBrilliance are]]'' [[FridgeBrilliance in a Gothic cathedral)]]. More to the point, the Joker makes sure that Batman, who is pursuing him, comes across these discarded articles of clothing on his way up the stairs, possibly as a means of taunting him. Whatever the case, Vicki was lucky that cathedral tower wasn't any taller... (Oh, and during the dance sequence one of Vicki's dress straps slips almost all the way off her shoulder, thus bringing up [[TheissTitillationTheory another trope]].)
* ''Film/TrueLies'': Finding that his wife Helen has been cheating on him while he's been traveling around the world on missions for the CIA, Harry Tasker punishes her by having her kidnapped, locked in a dark, mirrored room where he and his partner harshly interrogate her (their voices grotesquely altered by a vocoder device) from an unseen location, and then forced to take part in a "spy mission" that ends with her stripping down to (very skimpy) underwear for the amusement of an unidentified man sitting in the shadows -- who, of course, turns out to be Harry himself. More than any other scene in the movie, that's the one that elicited an enraged, DudeNotFunny reaction from lotsa people (and not ''only'' feminists).
* At the end of ''Film/{{Agora}}'', Hypatia is captured by an angry mob and stripped naked, with the mob then calling her a whore.

* In ''Film/{{Suffragette}}'' the protagonists are forced to strip and change into prison clothes. In protest against this treatment, and the general fact that they are not treated like political prisoners, they go on a hunger strike.
* On ''Film/{{Cobra}}'', he gets into an argument with a gang member and he humiliates him by ripping off his shirt. This scene is infamous because the gang member's microphone pack can be seen taped to his chest.

* ''Film/{{Felon}}'': Laura is made to take off her blouse, and then her bra, when something in it sets off the metal detectors.
* Julie London's character in ''Man of the West'' is forced at gunpoint by the villains to undress. It's a decidedly uncomfortable scene, though (being a '50s Western) she's interrupted by Gary Cooper before she gets too far along.
* In the 1974 sexploitation movie ''The Arena'' (aka ''Naked Warriors''), the newly purchased female slaves refuse to remove their [[ClothingDamage already tattered robes]] in public so [[ShowerScene they can be bathed]]. A couple of lusty Italian men eagerly take on the job.
-->'''Trailer:''' Women ''stripped'' of their dignity, piece by piece!
* In ''Big Bad Mama II'', Robert Culp is forced to strip at gunpoint by Angie Dickenson (the eponymous Mama). Arguably also a DefeatByModesty since she wants to discourage Culp (a muckraking journalist) from following her and her daughters and notes that a naked man might find difficulty hitchhiking in the rural South during the Depression.
* Near the end of ''Film/{{Malena}}'', the lead character is beaten and stripped by an angry mob after her infidelity becomes public.
* A more downplayed version in ''Film/{{Blackburn}}'' in which one of the female characters spend most of the movie wearing a pink hoodie over her white tank top, but when she's being held captive by the ones that are attacking her and the other survivors, she's only has her pink hoodie stripped off, while she keeps her tank top and rest of clothing.

* In ''Film/KingOfTheLostWorld'', Dana and Natalie after getting captured by the natives of the island get stripped naked and forced to wear loincloth.
* In action flick ''Film/DeathWarrant'' an undercover female lawyer investigating organ traffic in a prison is forced to strip naked in front of the corrupt prison guards.
* Is what happens to a female scientist in ''Film/DasExperiment'' ([[StanfordPrisonExperiment loosely based on real facts]]) after an experiment about prison environment GoesHorriblyWrong.
* ''Film/{{Killshot}}'': When Blackbird and Richie invade the Colsons' home in the climax, Richie forces Carmen to strip down to her underwear and indicates that a sexual assault is next. [[spoiler:This pisses off Blackbird so much that he kills his associate.]]
* Some films from the [[CannibalFilm cannical explotation films]], will use this trope before the character suffers a gruesome death.
* In the film ''Film/{{Detroit}}'' [[BasedOnATrueStory based on]] [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot the 1967 Detroit riot]], a group of young people are essentially held hostage by the cops until they admit who was taking pot shots at the police. When they drag one of the young women off to interrogate her, they proceed to call her a whore (particularly disgusted because she and her friend are two white girls hanging out with black guys) and tear her clothes off until she's completely naked, then laugh at her humiliation.

* ''Film/TheFalconAndTheSnowman'': Andrew Daulton Lee is interrogated by the police lieutenant in his office while wearing only briefs, which are all he's wearing when Foreign Service diplomats come by to discuss his case.
* In ''Film/TheRibaldTalesOfRobinHood'', Robin has the Sheriff and Lady Sallyforth stripped, tied back to back and sent back to Nottingham on the back of a horse. Lady Sallyforth later returns the favour by cutting Marian's clothes off while Marian is a prisoner in her dungeon.
* ''Film/EscapeRoom2017'': Christen is captured, stripped naked and locked in a small cage where she is forced to crouch while he friends navigate the escape room. For further humiliation, images of her are broadcast to her friends inside the escape room.
* ''Mismatched Couples'' is a largely unknown 1985 kung-fu film known among its small viewership mostly for 3 things. Starring a 22-year-old Creator/DonnieYen in only his second movie, his ''sweet'' breakdancing skills, and a scene where Yen's character tracks down a female {{Mook}} who assaulted his friend, [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon mocking her physique]] and sets out to prove that "men are better than women" by outperforming her in the gym (which he does), as a final GutPunch, the aforementioned friend states that "men are braver" and then strips down to his pants and says that if she's so brave, then she should take ''all'' of her clothes off (worth noting that this is in a crowded gym and she's wearing little more than a LeotardOfPower). She's clearly humiliated but angrily goes along with it and begins to pull off her leotard before Yen's character's sister stops her, and she runs off.
* ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid'': Etta, a school marm, returns home and is surprised to find Sundance, an outlaw, waiting for her. At gunpoint, he tells her to strip, which she spitefully does. It looks like it's all a preamble to a rape, but then Etta chastises Sundance for always coming home late. It's a BaitAndSwitch. They're a romantic couple role-playing.
* ''Film/UncutGems'': Howard Ratner owes a LoanShark named Arno money. When he can't pay up, Arno has his thugs beat Howard up, steal all his clothes, then lock him in the trunk of his own car.
* ''Film/BirdsOfPrey2020'': Mob boss Roman Sionis/Black Mask sees a woman in his nightclub named Erika laughing and automatically assumes she is laughing at him. He forces her to stand on a table and dance, then orders her to take off her dress. When she is too slow, he forces her date at gunpoint to cut it off with a knife.

* ''Film/{{Compliance}}'': A man calls up a fast food restaurant, convinces the manager that he's a police officer, and persuades her to strip-search a young female employee on the pretense of looking for stolen merchandise. The employee suffers through it because of threats that it will go much worse for her if she doesn't. It's all a thrill for the caller, who orchestrates increasingly degrading acts to be performed on the victim. This is based on a true story.
* ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'': After the Chamberlain loses the Trial by Stone, the other Skeksis tear all his elaborate robes and the like off while he squawks in terror and exile him.
* In ''Film/TheScavengers'', Captain Harris' men slowly remove Faith's clothing in front of her fiancee preparatory to raping her.
* In ''Film/HotSpur'', Carlo does this as part of his humiliation of Susan after he kidnaps her.

* In ''Film/RyansDaughter'': Rosie is stripped by the villagers after she is accused of having an affair with a British Soldier.
* ''Film/UnderTheRainbow'': Otto cuts Annie's dress off with a sword, leaving her in her underwear.

* Happens twice in ''Literature/{{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.
* In Creator/RASalvatore's fantasy novel ''The Highwayman'' a beautiful young woman named Callen is found guilty of adultery and, as part of her punishment, she is stripped completely naked at what is meant to be her execution (she survives though), catching the eye of one of the book's eventual antagonists.
* Creator/JohnMoore's fantasy parody novel ''Literature/HeroicsForBeginners'' 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.
* In Creator/LarryNiven and Creator/JerryPournelle'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.
* Played for drama when Bobby Marks, main character of Robert Lipsyte's ''Literature/OneFatSummer'', is subjected to a violent version of this as part of a [[TraumaCongaLine cruel prank]] to humiliate him. Fortunately he proves [[IronWoobie stronger]] than he seems.

* In Creator/JackChalker's ''Literature/SoulRider'' series, this happens to Cassie twice. The first time, she's been caught spying around a temple and is placed naked in a cell, told that if she resists, there'll be chains and a gag, too. The second time, she's been abducted by the male-dominated society of New Eden, waking up from unconsciousness to find herself naked, [[BoundAndGagged gagged and handcuffed]]. The abduction is a prelude to an extended period of "[[{{Brainwashed}} re-education]]."

* This happened twice in ''Literature/OrlandoFurioso''. First, Princess Angelica is captured by Pirates Ebuda, who strips her naked and ties her to a rock. Second, the princess of Holland, Olympia, is stripped naked by the same suspect, and tied to a tree. Both girls cannot conceal their modesty when their rescuer approaches them.
* Done to Kahlan by Emperor Jagang in the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series while she was his captive. Like with most other things he did, Jagang got a two-fold benefit. Not only did he get to see her naked (a substantial prize in itself), but the purpose was to march her around his army's camp that way. At that point, a spell had made her an UnPerson who was forgotten before her presence was noticed by 99.99% of humanity. By marching her around the camp, Jagang found the .01% who noticed the naked, beautiful, and unclaimed woman in their midst and rounded them up to be Kahlan's personal guards, the only ones who would actually ''notice'' if she tried to escape. During the event itself, though, Kahlan wisely tried to downplay the "Shameful" aspect as much as possible. Jagang's intention was to humiliate her as much as anything, so rather than muck about and stall by moving slowly, folding her clothes, etc. and giving him the satisfaction of her discomfort, she simply shucked everything off like pulling a band-aid and played it off as no big deal. It would be much more remarkable if she hadn't led an army while stark-naked and painted white. Both times there were a number of clever reasons for her to do it, but it was essentially contrived {{Fanservice}}.

* In ''Literature/{{Spellfall}}'' by Katherine Roberts, Natalie, a 12-year-old girl, is captured and drugged by an [[BigBad evil wizard]] Hawk and his female assistant. When she wakes up, all her clothing (and glasses) have been removed, and [[GoGoEnslavement replaced with a short shift,]] allegedly to make it harder for her to escape. It is also implied that Hawk [[DirtyOldMan was also involved]] in the clothing removal, as he later is interested in seeing Natalie change back.

* A dead man is found stripped and in a shallow grave in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice''. It's determined that he was kidnapped, drugged, raped, and then bled or choked to death on his own blood after his tongue was cut out. Eldest Whistler removes her coat to cover him with, "[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil her eyes furious]]".
* In Colin Kapp's sci-fi novel ''The Chaos Weapon'', the Ra insist their prisoners come to them "naked and without weapons." (They then proceed to dye their captives' skins gold, apparently the only color that Ra themselves don't come in.)
* In the ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'' novels, Taysans are culturally extremely modest and cover up everything except their hands, neck and faces. When Mizal, a government agent, is captured and tortured by an alien (to her) drug baron, she is stripped to humiliate her and her mutilated body is returned to her people naked. Her fellow agent Jay reflects when he sees her that whoever did it 'knew Taysans'.
* After being framed for treason and driven mad by an EvilSorcerer, ''Literature/DoctrineOfLabyrinths'''s Felix undergoes this treatment at a BedlamHouse, where a sadistic warden tears off his clothes. It's supposed to be for a shower, but given the amount of time the warden spends ogling him and asking embarrassing questions, it's pretty clear that's not the only reason.

* Two cops do this to an annoying traffic offender in a novel by Creator/JosephWambaugh.
-->'''Cop:''' Now bend over and show me that round brown. I gotta check you ain't hiding a machine gun up there.
* Happens twice in ''Literature/NobodyLivesForEver''. Early in the story, Literature/JamesBond grows suspicious of the chance-met Sukie Tempesta (an Italian Princess) and strip-searches her to make sure she's not carrying anything dangerous. Later, a fuller evocation of this trope comes when Tempesta and the bodyguard Nanette "Nanny" Norrich are abducted by one of the villains who's after Bond's head. Bond finds them BoundAndGagged and stripped to their underwear.
* This is done to an unnamed slave during a series of sadistic games in the ''Literature/GentlemanBastard'' series. It doesn't seem to work on her as she stays defiant and dignified, so they give her a TraumaticHaircut as well.
* Very common on Literature/{{Gor}} whenever a woman is MadeASlave. Variations include cutting off the woman's clothing with a sword or knife, or making the woman strip herself and then drop her clothing into a fire. Often bounces between this trope and GoGoEnslavement when the woman is eventually allowed skimpy slave clothing and then still later required to strip and go nude again.
* ''Wild Justice'' by Creator/WilburSmith. The hijackers have the man sent to negotiate with them walk naked across to the airliner, ostensibly to ensure he won't carry a weapon, but actually as psychological warfare.
* At the climax of ''[[Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures Shadow of Her Sins]]'', after being stunned and captured by [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Bloody Margo]], Salli wakes bound naked to a chair. A little bit later Ali arrives to negotiate her release, and Margo forces her to also strip naked to show she isn't concealing any weapons.
* ''Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsYouBelieveHer'' has a non-erotic example. After being forcibly powered down, Robot Penny is stripped naked before being put into storage - since she's a mechanical being with a BarbieDollAnatomy, her captors give no more thought to her modesty than they would to a screwdriver.

* ''Series/QueenForSevenDays'': Lee Yung cuts off Myeong-hye's outer clothes and threatens to do the same to her underwear unless she betrays the Snail Brides.
* ''Series/{{Life on Mars|2006}}''. 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.
* ''Series/{{NUMB3RS}}'': In an undercover assignment, to spot bugs. Blatant {{Fanservice}}, what with the promos advertising the strip and the random lingerie she ''just happened'' to be wearing. The shame bit's still there, though.

* ''Series/{{Rome}}''
** The Gallic leader Vercingetorix, when defeated and captured, was forced to strip and kiss Caesar's golden standard, as was the custom. He was apparently naked for years until Caesar had him dressed up for his own execution.
** Servilia of the Junii is knocked from her litter and beaten, stripped naked in public, and has her [[TraumaticHaircut hair cut with a dagger]] as an act of revenge by her rival Atia. The entire experience is clearly very traumatizing to her, and she spends several days recovering.
* In ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'', when a Greeed is stripped of its Core Medals it is also stripped of the clothes and armor they are wearing.
* Xena was stripped by Ares a few times during the course of ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' (the most notable example being "The Bitter Suite"). Also happened to her in ''Adventures in Sin'' where she ambushed the Amazon Queen Cyanae (Victoria Pratt) while she's basically naked but for a loincloth while getting a massage, only for the blonde warrior to steal all of Xena's clothes right off of her and then dressing herself in them, leaving Xena herself basically naked but for a leather thong underwear, causing an angry Xena to wrap herself up in a ModestyTowel (or modesty rug at least) before fleeing in shame and anger. DefeatByModesty indeed.
* Xena's origin series ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'', had Salmoneus stripped naked by a group of 50 beautiful princesses in revenge for misleading them about Hercules' location in "Eye of the Beholder".

* In the BadFuture episode of ''Series/{{Sanctuary}}'', Magnus is stripped and hosed down by Future!Will's soldiers. This scene was very much FanDisservice.
* Subverted in the first season of the rebooted ''Series/{{Dallas}}''. Ann Ewing goes to her ex-husband Harris' office, and offers herself to him so that he won't blackmail Sue Ellen during the Texan governor's race. She shamefully begins to unbutton her top as Harris looks on gleefully...and then it's revealed that she was wearing a wire under her blouse, and just recorded Harris confessing to his corrupt activities.
* In ''Series/TheWalkingDead'', after Maggie is captured by the Governor, he interrogates her by first [[FauxAffablyEvil politely asking]] where her group's camp is [[BlatantLies so he can return her and Glenn peacefully]] before switching on the creepy and quietly demanding that she take off her shirt and bra, on threat that he'll chop off Glenn's hand. She later confirms to Glenn that he didn't "do anything" after he automatically assumes the worst, but it's still quite a moment of FanDisservice.
* In the ''Series/CriminalMinds'' episode "Psychodrama", the Unsub is a bank robber who takes everyone at a random bank hostage and forces them to strip to their underwear. He then pairs an unusual couple- for example, a young man with an old lady- and forces them into sex acts. He did it mainly for control, [[spoiler:but also because it simulated therapy that he was receiving.]]

* In the early-'90s, a ''Series/GeneralHospital'' storyline has good girl Karen becoming a stripper after recalling having been sexually abused by her mother's boyfriend and beginning to believe that she was a tramp who didn't deserve anything better. The pressures of maintaining a double life (she continued to attend college and work as a waitress) got to her until she finally broke down in the middle of one of her performances, having finally realized how degrading it was. Several years later, as she was about to begin her medical residency on the GH-SpinOff Series/PortCharles, she and the other doctors were held hostage by a deranged former student incensed that she had taken his place in the program. To that end, he took particular pleasure in humiliating her by revealing her nefarious past as well as forcing her to perform a striptease in front of everyone.
* In the seventh season of ''Series/MelrosePlace'', Eve knocks out Lexi and leaves her BoundAndGagged in her underwear in the bathtub. While taking Lexi's clothing doesn't keep her from trying to escape when an opportunity comes, it does allow Eve to [[FrameUp frame Lexi for the attempted murder]] of Peter and Amanda.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
** One episode that dealt with torture used this. The Captor even stated coldly, as he used a knife to peel away Captain Picard's clothing, "From this point on, you will experience no privilege of rank, no privileges of person. From now on, I will refer to you only as ''human''. You have no other identity." Picard is then hung up by his arms, stark naked and left there overnight. He's later given a barely concealing garment to wear, both because a later scene featured a child, and also because it would have been difficult to show body language without showing, well, his body.
** Another episode had Troi and her mother kidnapped by Ferengi, who used the transporter to beam them out of their clothing. We later learn that the Ferengi, being an extreme patriarchy, find the idea of women wearing clothing to be offensive, so this could be an either/or example. It would have been more effective on a species that wasn't ashamed of nudity to the point that all weddings are conducted in the nude, but Troi and Lwaxana were very annoyed by the whole thing. Lwaxana convinced the Ferengi to give them clothes by pointing out it was cold.
* In ''The Shift'' a homeowner stripped a young punk he caught breaking into his house in order to humiliate him, a bit of frontier justice that backfired spectacularly when the punk returned with a gun and killed him.

* In ''Series/TwentyFour'' season 2, Jack escorts his traitorous former ally Nina to an undercover assignment. She tries to go the bathroom to change but he forces her to change in front of him where he can see her.
* Late in the second season of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', Sarah and Cameron go undercover at a nuclear plant. Sarah gets caught at a restricted area and is presumed contaminated and given a thorough scrub down and her clothes are destroyed but it's implied they just don't like that she's being snoopy.

* An unusual comic version in ''Series/GimmeABreak'' occurs when Samantha annoys her sisters a little *too* much, reminding them gleefully of the insults they hurled at each other while [[TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry fighting over a boy.]] In response, they drag Sam behind the couch and rip off her clothes so they can [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside throw her out in the street naked.]] Her dad and Nell calmly drink coffee in the next room while this is going on, [[AssholeVictim pointedly ignoring the chaos.]]
* In the mini-series ''Series/{{Holocaust}}'', those about to be shot or gassed are stripped naked. A MinionWithAnFInEvil objects, saying the women should at least be allowed to die with dignity instead of having SS guards leering at them. The suggestion is ignored, of course.
* Invoked in an episode of ''Series/BurnNotice'' when it's implied that Gilroy forces Michael to meet him in a public pool both because of the difficulty in concealing bugs and because Gilroy enjoys making Michael squirm a little showing the body Gilroy so clearly, shall we say, admires.
* In the ''Series/Level9'' episode "Digital Babylon", Sosh is forced to perform a striptease for the perp of the week. She bashes the guy's head in at the first opportunity.
* ''Series/InTheDark'': Josiah orders Murphy to strip as proof she's not wired. This means ''naked'', rather than just to her underwear. Felix however just gets a pat down. Murphy does it unhappily.
* ''Series/BigSky'': Jerrie is forced to undress and wash by Ronald, which she's quite unhappy with, but uses this as an opportunity to show her body, in hopes he'll set her free, being transgender (he hadn't known this, wanting to traffic only cis women apparently).
* ''Series/Loki2021'': While being processed by the [[TimePolice TVA]], Loki is shoved into a chamber with a [[TheNudifier robot]] that burns away his Asgardian clothing and leaves him completely naked save for the prison collar placed on him. He's visibly uncomfortable being so exposed even though there's nobody around to see him. After a few seconds he's dumped through a trapdoor that dresses him in a jumpsuit giving him back some dignity.

* Subverted in the poem "The Outlandish Knight". The knight makes the maiden strip, rather than ruin her expensive clothes when he drowns her. She pleads modesty to get him to avert his eyes, then pitches him into the sea instead.
* ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}'': This happens to the Pandavas after Duryodhana and his uncle Shakuni lead Yudhishthira to gamble away his kingdom, his brothers, and finally his queen Draupadi on a game of dice. Duryodhana orders the brothers to strip since he now owns all their possessions including their clothes but crosses the line when he orders Dushasana to forcibly disrobe Draupadi. Realizing no-one can save her, Draupadi prays to Krishna who performs a miracle which causes her sari to keep extending.

* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'':
** This is an aspect in ''Original Generation'' starting from the OVA, and goes as far as nakedness. The autonomous system ODE captures humans to become the core of their units. In the process, they strip 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 from loss of blood. This ends up happening to protagonist group member, Lamia Loveless, though she managed to live instead of dying from loss of life force, thanks to her [[RobotGirl unorthodox inner structure of her body]].
** Duminuss repeats this practice in ''Original Generation {{Gaiden|Game}}'', on Lamia again. Or maybe that's because she forgot to bring some spare clothes.
* In ''VideoGame/Halo2'', the Arbiter is introduced to the audience by being stripped naked and branded before a large audience in a shaming ceremony.
* ''VideoGame/Fallout3'':
** It is possible for [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential the player to do this to NPCs]]. When you are given the Mesmetron, you can use it to hypnotize characters, give you time to attach a [[ExplosiveLeash slave collar]]. However, you can also use that time to take all their clothes (leaving them in their underwear). Or even more amusingly, the player can give them Lingerie, which they will automatically equip.
** This also happens to [[spoiler: the [[PlayerCharacter Lone Wanderer]]. He/she is captured by the Enclave, knocked out, and... wakes up in a stasis field wearing only their Pip-Boy and their unmentionables. Even more uncomfortably, he/she wakes up just in time to be interrogated by [[TheDragon Colonel Autumn]].]]
** The Mothership Zeta DLC also starts like this, and leaves you that way until you can find your gear in a conveniently close storage container. No torture occurs, but there are apparent experiments that took place before hand.
* In ''VideoGame/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. However, no one ever calls attention to this.
* Something similar (but without the torture) happens in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', if you get captured and imprisoned during a certain quest. Perhaps slightly ironically, the fact the female Warden is only wearing underwear can help her escape if she can convince the guard that she's feeling lonely and get him to open the door. Rather amusing considering [[TooDumbToLive Alistair is sharing the cell with the Warden]]. Male Wardens can play the "I'm lonely" card too. [[FauxYay On the male jailer]].
* Madison from ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' is forced to strip and dance at gunpoint. Of course, this also gives her an opening to strike back when the sleazeball with the gun [[DistractedByTheSexy gets a little too interested in what's going on.]]
* Saki from ''VideoGame/ArTonelico3'' is forced by Sarapatra to strip in front of her assembled citizens in exchange for freeing her people who are kept hostage. Afterwards, she is practically disposed because her citizens have lost all faith in her. It should be mentioned, though, [[spoiler:that all of this happens in Saki's mind and that it can be averted, as if the player takes the correct decisions, the strip show gets ruined due to the lights suddenly failing.]]

* Happens to [[DamselInDistress Jessica Haggar]] when she's kidnapped in the first ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' game. When Damnd contacts her father, we see poor Jessica on the monitor tied up and wearing nothing but her white underwear. That scene was cut from the English version of the arcade game though, and the SNES version redrew the scene to depict her in her traditional red cocktail dress.

* In the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/AlexKidd in the Enchanted Castle'', the losers of RockPaperScissors battles would be stripped naked (with a SceneryCensor). The English version changed the forfeit to an AnvilOnHead.

* In ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', if Noel Vermillion is caught in Relius Clover's Astral Heat move, she will be seen completely naked and strapped to a machine... before Relius finishes her off, and most likely [[PlayingWithSyringes experiments on her]]. [[spoiler: The same happens if either Lambda/Nu-11 or Mu-12 is the victim.]]
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Valis}} Mugen Senshi Valis II]]'', the BigBad Megus holds the protagonist's mother Queen Valia in captive and forces Yuuko to discard her sword and armor. Seeing that the girl no longer holds the equipment that can oppose him, [[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo Megus kills the queen]] and sends Yuuko straight into a HeroicBSOD.
* In ''VideoGame/BlueGuardianMargaret'', Margaret will at one point be captured and wake up naked and tied up inside a glass tank full of water. The bad guys will taunt her until she passes out from lack of air, then she'll wake up in a cell, still naked. She must then break out and sneak through the base until she can recover her clothes and weapons (if she gets spotted while attempting this, she'll automatically be caught and they'll throw her in the water tank a second time until she dies).
* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 2'' has Bison's ending, where Ryu is seen both stripped naked ''and'' [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable strapped to a sort-of electric chair]] as Bison has the Shadaloo scientists [[ColdBloodedTorture experiment on him]].
* In ''VideoGame/SenranKagura: Peach Beach Splash'', after beating a named girl you can approach her and engage Squirmy Mode, which will cause your character to pull out a special squirt gun shaped like a rubber ducky and spray water on her. Focusing water on her bikini top or bottom long enough can cause it to fall off for a little extra humiliation.

* In general, any movie that is set in a prison will have at least one sequence of this occurring. This often results in shame on the part of the individual(s) that have to undress.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}: Stranger's Wrath'', when Stranger is captured by outlaws, he's stripped to his underwear [[spoiler:revealing that he's a Steef]].

* Anime/KillLaKill: Inverted. Satsuki lectures Ryuko about being ashamed of being seen in her Kamui in Episode 3, saying "This is the form in which a Kamui is able to unleash the most power! The fact that you are embarrassed by the values of the masses only proves how small you are! If it means fulfilling my ambitions, I will show neither shame nor hesitation, even if I must bare my breasts for all the world to see!"

* In ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', Tsukuyomi subjects Setsuna to this by straddling her and using her sword to cut her {{sarashi}} open, giggling and telling her to "satisfy" her.

* Very common on {{Literature/Gor}} whenever a woman is MadeASlave. Variations include cutting off the woman's clothing with a sword or knife, or making the woman strip herself and then drop her clothing into a fire. Often bounces between this trope and GoGoEnslavement when the woman is eventually allowed skimpy slave clothing and then still later required to strip and go nude again.

* In ''Videogame/PilgrimRPGMaker'', in the backstory, Akemi had this done to her by the local AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse. It cuts away before we see anything.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* "The Precious One" Gilbert stripped Orlando Colon as El Gran Armando and Pedro Portillo III restrained him on the July 20 2019 ''WWC Superestrellas''. This was so Gilbert would have more skin to cut as he beat Orlando bloody with a [[BottleAttack broken wine bottle]].

Related to DefeatByModesty (a character is unable to fight due to his modesty being compromised) and UndressingTheUnconscious (a character has their clothes removed while they were in an unconscious state). {{Fanservice}} for some people -- although some instances of this are ''so'' cruel that [[FanDisservice even the easily titillated are likely to be turned off.]]

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Valis}} Mugen Senshi Valis II]]'', the BigBad Megus holds the protagonist's mother Queen Valia in captive and forces Yuuko to discard her sword and armor. Seeing that the girl no longer holds the equipments that can oppose him, [[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo Megus kills the queen]] and sends Yuuko straight into a HeroicBSOD.

* In ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' ''Peach Beach Splash'', after beating a named girl you can approach her and engage Squirmy Mode, which will cause your character to pull out a special squirt gun shaped like a rubber ducky and spray water on her. Focusing water on her bikini top or bottom long enough can cause it to fall off for a little extra humiliation.

* In the [[{{Hentai}} H-game]] ''Yume miru kusuri,'' when the protagonist goes back to campus, he goes to the roof and finds one of the girls he can hook up with naked and about to jump off the multiple story building. When he asks her what happened, she says that she went up there the previous afternoon, [[AlphaBitch the mean girl clique]] cornered her and made her take her clothes off. Once she was naked, they picked up her belongings and left her stranded on the rooftop. Scared that someone might see her she stayed up there all night, but eventually stopped caring and decided that she might as well end it.

* Happens twice in ''Literature/{{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.

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]

Contrast GoGoEnslavement, in which the torture is that Alice loses the right to choose her own clothing and must wear the outfit her captors provide -- clothes which are scandalously revealing or utterly humiliating in some other way. Occasionally a prelude to BatheHerAndBringHerToMe. Accidental happenstances go into WardrobeMalfunction or StrippingSnag. If Alice loses her hair instead of her clothes, it's TraumaticHaircut. See also PervyPatdown for cases where a strip search is performed (or just invoked as an excuse).

* In ''Film/LostHighway'', Alice is forced to strip in front of the baddies at gun point.

* In ''Film/TheWickerMan'': The villagers do this to Sergeant Howie before he is sacrificed.
