* In the TV adaptation of ''Gomorrah'', the Camorra gangsters are shown counting their drug money and complaining about the stink, because junkies hide their money in their underwear as they aren't going to waste it on buying wallets.

** The Arrancar Pesh keeps his sword [[spoiler:ULTIMAA!]] down the front of his loincloth, and massively [[{{Squick}} squicks]] MadScientist Szayel Aporro Grantz in the process. That's quite an accomplishment, given how disgusting most of what Szayel does is.

* Played straight in another Creator/LucasArts adventure game -- ''VideoGame/TheDig''. Somewhat justified in that you're never carrying a great number of objects and none of them are particularly large -- your shovel is a pocket shovel -- but still beyond what anyone could realistically carry. Many of these same jokes make it into ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', as many of the [=LucasArts=] people from the MI series reconvened at Telltale.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Cavewoman}}: Raptorella'' #2, Meriem produces a ''hand grenade'' she somehow had concealed in the bottom of her FurBikini.
* In the first part of "The Tape" story, ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} wound up stuffing his special "Amex Black" card (which has no credit limit) down the front of his pants. While interrogating him Madam Masque is disgusted to hear this and is the only one willing to reach in and get it [[spoiler:especially since she's actually Clint's teenage sidekick Kate in disguise]].
* The infamous PantyShot scene during "Collision" sees Comicbook/{{X 23}} sticking a folded-up document in the waistband of her pants, flashing the top of her thong in the process. There's not an unsightly bulge to be seen, despite the fact her pants are practically {{painted on|pants}}.

* ''Literature/{{Serpico}}''. When Serpico is assigned to Vice, he faces the problem of hiding his firearm somewhere a prostitute can't detect when feeling him up as a potential client. So he hid a small automatic in his crotch, because if the hooker touched him there it was legally regarded as an overt sexual act and he could arrest her anyway.

-->'''Misa''': Oh, it'll be safe there! Light doesn't even let me in his pants!
-->'''Ryuk''': You're not missing anything.
* In WebOriginal/OrionsArm, young [[http://www.orionsarm.com/page/501 Siberoos]] can be carried in their mothers’ pants long after they outgrow the pouch –- but mainly for special occasions such as birthdays.

* ''Literature/TalesOfTheKettyJay''. When the Century Knights rescue Darian Frey from the gallows, they challenge him to prove his claim that he's been to the legendary sky pirate port of Retribution Falls. Frey reveals he's been hiding a page torn from the port's log down his pants for the past few days. A female member of the Century Knights is not happy about being ordered to handle it.

* In ''Film/{{Versus}}'': as a RunningGag, the weaselly Yakuza keeps getting disarmed of his pistol, causing him to immediately pull another pistol out of his back waistband. How many pistols is his storing in that exact spot?

** The Bird-Bot of Ice-catraz: The nature hippie encourages the use of the butt for handwarming (and implied for storage), since it's "nature's pocket".

* In the Literature/EncyclopediaBrown story "The Case of the Foot Warmer," someone is accused of stealing two BB rifles by putting them down his pants legs, leading to a stiff-legged walk.

Some guy reaches right into his pants. '''Oh, God! He's pulling out''' -- well the good news is that it's not ''that''. The bad news is that it's still something you'd rather not see.

* Ponta the tanuki in Panda’s Great Adventure for one of his attempts to kill Lonlon pulls a huge can of gasoline out of his pants in an attempt to burn him to death.

* ''LightNovel/AmagiBrilliantPark'': To all appearances, it's where Isuzu Sento keeps her enchanted musket, Steinberger.

* Played straight in another Creator/LucasArts adventure game -- ''VideoGame/TheDig''. Somewhat justified in that you're never carrying a great number of objects and none of them are particularly large -- your shovel is a pocket shovel -- but still beyond what anyone could realistically carry.
** Many of these same jokes make it into ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', as many of the [=LucasArts=] people from the MI series reconvened at Telltale.

* Lampshaded by Barney halfway through ''VideoGame/HeartOfEvil'', when he expresses concern over the fact that Percy might have accidently ejaculated on the Roasted Moose given to him at the beginning of the game.
** Later on, Barney himself yells in disgust after he apparently peed himself. It turns out that he had just spilled his glass of applejuice in his underpants. Needless to say, you stock up on the little food you can get during a war.
* Speaking of {{Creator/Sierra}}, this trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry2LookingForLoveInSeveralWrongPlaces'' where Larry has to collect a 36-gallon trashcan-sized Grotesque Gulp soda. The narrator wonders how Larry's going to carry it with him... and then remembers that this is an adventure game and lets Larry just stuff the drink in his pocket.
* {{Lampshaded}} in ''VideoGame/{{Luigis Mansion Dark Moon}}''. Luigi occasionally needs to take large items (often being half of Luigi's size) back to the Bunker. One time, when you're taking three of them back to a level, E. Gadd chuckles and says "It's a good thing you have such deep pockets in those overalls!"
* All of the (bearded) freed prisoners in ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' hide bonuses in their underwear. Including weapons. Is that a [[strike:Heavy Machine Gun]] [[strike:Rocket Launcher]] [[strike:Iron Lizard]] [[strike:Flamethrower]] Super Grenade in your pocket [[OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe or are you happy to]]... aw, never mind. What makes it hilarious is the giant grin they give you as they shake the bonus out.
** The boxers are comically large and he manages to pull them out of his pants in one-piece and then put them back in easily.
* The original ''Secret of VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' game. Guybrush Threepwood stores his entire (Significant) inventory in his pants, with a particularly notable example involving the 'Key' to the Monkey-Cave -- a gigantic cotton swab -- seeing him pull that out of his pants is vaguely disturbing. In ''[=LeChuck=]'s Revenge'', he acquires a jacket, and starts storing large objects in his inner pockets instead. Which is a real shame, since he picks up a living monkey at one point, and the sheer number of puns and bad jokes that could've resulted from him stuffing that in his pants would be ''terrifying''.
** Don't forget the large ''dog'' he's able to shove into his coat.

** Don't forget the banana picker Guybrush puts in his pants at one point. And there's a scene in the third game where he's stuck in quicksand: "Hang on, the quicksand is sucking all the cool stuff I found in that snake from my pants. Now THERE'S an odd sensation."
*** On several occasions during ''Curse of Monkey Island'', Guybrush will [[AsideGlance suggestively waggle his eyebrows at the camera]] as he puts some implausible device (such as a ten-foot-long boat pole) into his pants.

*** Or they'll complain about your inventory screen [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall cluttering up their space]].

** A bit subverted in ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'': Chapters 1 through 4 has Guybrush mention his "trousers" or "pants pockets" when he places items in his inventory; but in Chapter 5, when he places the [[ChekhovsBoomerang tiny pyrite parrots]] into the tip jar he has gotten, he says, "Sorry, guys. I need to keep you in a more contained space than my jacket pockets!"

** With the Sims 2 inventory system, Sims could pull ''minivans'' out of their trousers.

* From one strip of ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'':

* Bulma in ''Manga/DragonBall'' once hid a very large diamond in her panties -- leaving no visible bulge, which has made some of the more dirty-minded readers wonder exactly where it was kept. In fact, in the manga, Krillin says he can "tell by the smell where you hid it!"
** Which is weird, because he once beat a smelly opponent due to his lack of a nose (though he assumed he could smell Bacterian in the past oddly)
** Another (slightly more innocent) version has Krillin saying "It doesn't smell at all" while seeming somewhat surprised. Bulma replies "Why should it?"

-->There's plenty of space in my trousers... sadly.

* The infamous panty shot scene during "Collision" sees Comicbook/{{X 23}} sticking a folded-up document in the waistband of her pants, flashing the top of her thong in the process. There's not an unsightly bulge to be seen, despite the fact her pants are practically {{painted on|pants}}.

* From ''Film/KissKissBangBang'', Gay Perry keeps a tiny derringer in the crotch of his pants, knowing that straight men never check a man's crotch too thoroughly. He's right.

* In ''Film/Batman1989'', ComicBook/TheJoker pulls an absurdly long-barreled revolver out of the front of his trousers. It's so long that he shouldn't have been able to ''walk'' with that thing down his trouser leg, at least not without a serious limp.

* ''[[Series/TheSweeney Sweeney 2]]''. John Thaw leaves his apartment key for a bird he's chatting up, only when she goes around to his place he's passed out drunk. So she unzips his fly and deposits the key there before leaving. He rings her up later and offers her the opportunity to retrieve it, but she's not interested.
