* In the magazine ''New Horizons'', a couple of space ship officers are absent. They're not watching a Wet T-Shirt Contest--they're ''judging'' it.
* One issue of ComicBook/SheHulk showed what the title would be like if different artists were responsible for it. The Adam Hughes illustrated segment mentioned Black Widow and Scarlet Witch being undercover at a wet tee-shirt contest.

* In ''Film/Piranha3D'', this occurs. Of course, it's interrupted by some starving piranhas.

* This is used for an {{Pun}} (one of Creator/PiersAnthony's more wholesome {{Author Appeal}}s) in the Literature/{{Xanth}} novel ''Up in a Heaval''. A group of kids have a stock of Wetti shirts, which are perfectly normal t-shirts until worn, at which point they soak the wearer and become transparent. They decide they should have a contest, because that's what the shirts are for, but then [[FanDisservice some zombie girls wear them]].

* Joked about on ''Series/CanadasWorstDriver''. Sergeant Cam Wooley said "This is looking like a wet t-shirt contest!" Cut to an absolutely ''soaked'' Mike Butt: "I've never been on this side of a wet t-shirt contest!" This was during the [[ThatOneLevel Water Tank Challenge]], and Mike Butt was doing as poorly as any of the contestants do (they invariably get ''drenched'').
* Parodied during a host segment in ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', when the 'bots hold one such contest... by soaking a pair of shirts in tubs of water. Crow claims victory because his shirt absorbed more water, though Servo counters that his soaked it up faster. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint They don't see what all the fuss is about.]]
* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' had a wet t-shirt contest interrupted at the last second because one participant was [[{{squick}} underage]].
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' has some fun with it during the second season, when Tony discovers that prim-and-proper fellow agent Kate took part in and ''won'' such a contest in her youth. He won't let her live it down. When a picture of the contest is finally produced, it turns out to be NippleAndDimed: it shows Kate having water poured over her while wearing a wet, white tank top, but the photo is cropped just above her breasts.

* In a season 2 episode of ''Series/SheSpies,'' D.D. takes part in a broadcast-safe version at Spring Break, which is basically a ''dry'' T-Shirt Contest.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has an ImagineSpot which contains a banner saying this in the "Night out" arc, when Ellen mentions to Nanase that [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=359 her first choice of movie is a college party comedy]].
* ''Webcomic/CrossTimeCafe'': During a spring break arc, Kathy shows up to a bikini contest [[TemptingFate in shorts and a T-shirt instead of a bikini]].

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': When Peter becomes smart after going to the smartest cities in the country, the family gets him back to normal by sending him to the dumbest city: Tucson, Arizona. When he comes back, Peter mentions that the city's philharmonic does wet t-short contests with chocolate milk.
* In ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', when Hank, his mother and her friends get caught in the middle of Spring Break, they come across one of these. When the announcer states they are going to spray several women wearing white Shirts with cold water, Hank [[ExplainExplainOhCrap states that's not a good idea as it will cause... then realizes the point of it.]]

A group of kids have a stock of Wetti shirts, which are perfectly normal t-shirts until worn, at which point they soak the wearer and become transparent.
