History Main / UndersideRide

* WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow on their way to Canada, the two hitch a ride on a train, at first we see two figures in a train cart that would be Ren and Stimpy, but it was actually two random guys shaped like them, and the real two are under the cart with their heads bumping on the tracks.

* ''ToyStory 3'' too, IIRC.
* In ''{{Bolt}}'', this is the means by which Penny and Bolt infiltrate the lair of their [[ShowWithinAShow show's]] BigBad. It is reprised a few times throughout the film in different contexts.

* In the {{Halo}} prequel novel ''{{The Fall of Reach}}'', John and his squad of saboteurs infiltrates an enemy base using this method. The gate guards were [[GenreSavvy genre savvy]] enough to scan the underside of their vehicles with a mirror-on-a-stick. Having none of that, they brought their own mirrors to reflect an unoccupied portion of the underside back at the guards. The kicker was that [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome this was a training exercise, and the Spartans did this when they were fifteen]].

* In the ''BurnNotice'' episode "Besieged", Fiona attaches herself underneath a fuel tanker in an attempt to infiltrate a RightWingMilitiaFanatic compound. She has a harness spefically designed for this purpose.
* In one ''{{CSI}}'' episode, a woman tries to escape from a prison in this way and suffers LudicrousGibs from getting caught in the moving parts. [[spoiler: Subverted when we find out that she was already dead - the killer was getting rid of the body]].

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'': This is how [[spoiler: Zuko]] gets inside Zhao's compound, during "The Blue Spirit" episode, by hiding beneath a layer of dirt in the road. Then grabbing the undercarriage of a supply wagon as it passes over him. It takes him straight inside the fortress.

* In TheSimpsons episode "Cape Feare", Sideshow Bob tries this in a parody of the "Cape Fear" scene. While he does get to his destination, it doesn't quite work out as the family drove through a lot of cacti on the way there.
