* When Johnny Cage wins a round in the original MortalKombat, where exactly does he pull his sunglasses from?

* Chris Angel's manager, El Maestro, does wear pants but "conceals" a particularly long stick on them obviously can't fit in his pockets. Despite how long it takes to remove and replace after hitting Angel's opponents, the referee didn't catch on.

* Quack Quack from ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' keeps a lot of stuff in his underwear (since he doesn't wear pants).

* In ''3 Dev Adam'', El Santo never '''pulls''' an overly-large object out of his wrestling shorts. However, he does stuff much of Spider-Man's lair into the front of them during his search. {{Lampshaded}} in a review by website ''I-Mockery'' when El Santo carries around ''a'' corpse of Spider-Man, the reviewer comments that El Santo must have ran out of room to stuff him in.

* Speaking of {{Sierra}}, this trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry 2: Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places)'' 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.

* The crew from ''Series/{{Hustle}}'' pull the same trick from TheSting on a drug dealer at the beginning of the third season.

* In the webcomic ''RPGWorld'', the party's inventory is kept in Hero's pants. This led to an amusing scene when the others had to retrieve items while Hero was unconscious.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "You Only Move Twice", Scorpio hands Homer some un-packaged sugar from his pants pocket. He then offers cream to which Homer quickly refuses.

* MiyamotoMusashi from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' keeps some sort of giant broom/sword/thing don't the front of his trousers, which he pulls out whenever it's time to really kick some butt.

* Played straight in another 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.

* ''City Heat'' (1984). In the final shootout Creator/ClintEastwood and Burt Reynolds keep producing larger pistols in an attempt to both shoot the mooks and [[CompensatingForSomething one-up each other]]. [[DirtyHarry Clint naturally has the biggest gun]], an [[PhallicWeapon absurdly long-barreled revolver which he pulls out of his trousers]].

* ''Film/CityHeat''. In the final shootout Creator/ClintEastwood and Burt Reynolds keep producing larger pistols in an attempt to both shoot the mooks and [[CompensatingForSomething one-up each other]]. [[DirtyHarry Clint naturally has the biggest gun]], an [[PhallicWeapon absurdly long-barreled revolver which he pulls out of his trousers]].

* {{Lampshaded}} in ''ZorkGrandInquisitor'': From the beginning of the game, the player possesses a "permasuck machine" which is basically a canister vacuum. When he places it on the ground, Dalboz asks, "Just where were you keeping that?"

** A bit subverted in ''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!"

//* ''SexyCommando''

* ''SexyCommando''

* In ''ComicBook/{{Cavewoman}}/Raptorella'' #2, Meriem produces a ''hand grenade'' she somehow had concealed in the bottom of her FurBikini.

* Lampshaded in ''VideoGame/ThyDungeonman'', who is constantly putting stuff into his "roomy loin-cheese cloth".
** In ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', Strong Bad can store things in his pants.
--> Strongbad: Puttin' bat hutches in my pants, hope I don't get bit!

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.

* 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!"

* ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': Yzma hikes up her skirt, saying "I bet you weren't expecting ... THIS!" Pacha and Kuzco are scared at first ... and then realize she's just pulling out a vicious-looking dagger, and sigh in relief.

* In ''Film/{{Versus}}'', one character (shorter than the others, wearing blue jeans, Yakuza) pulls a gun from trouserspace - specifically, from down the seat of his pants. However, the running gag is that his gun keeps getting taken away from him over the course of the movie - and he keeps pulling additional ones from the same spot.

** Also batteries, sticks of dynamite, rolled-up copies of valuable paintings, batteries disguised as sausages, sticks of dynamite disguised as sausages, valuable paintings and copies thereof rolled up and stored inside sausages, the same stored inside baguettes... Are we getting the idea, here?

* ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' - Torgo delivers a pizza to Doctor F. and Frank. He starts to get their complimentary 'crazy bread', reaching into his trousers before they holler "NO!!!"

* In ''Theatre/TheCompleteWorksOfWilliamShakespeareAbridged'', the "scholarly" character pulls out his book on Shakespeare, which he keeps...right where you think. The title of the book? ''I Love My Willy''.

* 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''.

** At one point in ''[=LeChuck=]'s Revenge'', he finds his entire (usually sizable by that point) inventory has been into a single manila envelope, which he can (and really should) pick up and put in his pants. Upon opening it....

* Played straight in another 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.

* Speaking of {{Sierra}}, this trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry 2: Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places)'' 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.

* 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.

--> '''Black Mage''': "Lemme just reach into my wizard-style robes and pull out...MY KNIFE!" (By which, he actually means his knife. [[DontExplainTheJoke Not...]] Oh, forget it.)

--> '''Cody''': I was gonna make us a...''romantic'' picnic.

* A running gag in WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes is that often characters will pull anything they need out of their pants - most commonly binoculars.

* Razor Ramon HardGay himself was once filmed visiting Harajuku to demand that the punk kids there do the right thing and call their dads on Father's Day...using a cell phone he drew suggestively from the front of his leather hotpants.

* Richie in ''{{Bottom}}'' fit a whole BBC camera in down there.

* In the first episode of ''{{Wiseguy}}'', TheMafia is surprised to see an ArmsDealer bring his woman to their meeting. As things go badly we see her casually unbuttoning her skirt (how she does this [[NotDistractedByTheSexy without attracting attention]] is not explained), then she somehow produces an [[CoolGuns Ingram MAC-10]] and starts blazing away. Now admittedly the MAC-10 is quite small for an SMG, but it's still a large chunk of metal to be hiding between your legs while wearing a tight skirt. It's worth noting that this scene was based on a real-life arms deal in which the narrator noticed the women at the meeting were concealing firearms between their legs just from the way they sat down.

* In the '"Series/DrakeAndJosh'' episode "Alien Invasion", the boys get ready to pull a revenge prank on Megan, and Drake pulls the DVD needed for it out of his jeans.
