8-->-- ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'', after having [[MuggedForDisguise mugged two Germans for their clothes]].

10[[ComedicUnderwearExposure Exposing a character's underwear]] is always good for a laugh. This goes double if they have underwear with a silly or embarrassing print on it. Boxer shorts with polka dots, or better yet hearts on them seem to be popular. To the extent where it seems like nearly everyone in cartoons wears these. Well, that or [[EpilepticTrees these boxers cause trouser accidents]].
11
12Presumably, the fact that they wear utterly tasteless undies adds to the character's discomfort at [[PantsPullingPrank being de-pantsed]], [[{{Wedgie}} receiving a wedgie]] or [[SplittingPants ripping the seat of their pants]], especially if they try to maintain a hard-man reputation.
13
14A CringeComedy may invoke SerialEscalation by having the victim wear elephant print underpants, with a humorous trunk on the fly which [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything unrolls]] to [[CompensatingForSomething an unrealistic length]].
15
16On the other hand, a [[DoubleStandard female character]] in this type of underwear can be pretty potent {{Fanservice}}, especially if she looks much too mature to still be wearing them. If a woman is caught in nothing but, say, Snoopy panties, expect a male character to suddenly "remember" how much he's always admired the ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'' gang (which, in fact, is similar to what happened to Chris Tucker in one of the ''Film/RushHour'' films, only with a tattoo instead of panties).

37[[AC:Other-print boxers]]
38* There was a Wisk Plus laundry detergent ad a while back that had a woman magically teleport the clothes off of a bunch of [[HotMenAtWork hunky construction worker types]], leaving them in their [[MrFanservice underwear]]. [[RuleOfFunny Naturally]], one guy had bunny rabbit print undies, leading to this memorable exchange at the end of the ad:
39-->'''First Guy:''' You got ''bunnies'' on your shorts?\
40'''Second Guy:''' ''[archly]'' '''[[KillerRabbit Killer]]''' bunnies.
41
42[[AC:Childish women's underwear]]
43* In an ad for Carls, Jr., hamburgers shows [[ItMakesSenseInContext a Turkish beauty queen walking out onto a hotel pool area]]. She strips off her gown and sash, leaving herself in nothing but a bikini swimsuit illustrated with little cartoons of the burger she's advertising, which looks like childish underwear when viewed from a distance. One mother covers the eyes of her little son, but whether this is DeliberateValuesDissonance or because the bikini looks like silly underwear cannot be determined.
44* For one of Metlink's "Fare Evasion Karma" poster, it depicted a lady who was walking with her skirt tucked in her underwear, unaware. Such underwear was depicted as white and adorned with hearts.
45* The girl in [[https://vimeo.com/27229696 this]] Levi’s commercial gets caught trying to steal a guy’s wallet, so he steals her skirt in return. She’s revealed to be wearing Pink Panties with a Teddy Bear on them, which he reacts to by giving her a flirtatious grin, which she surprisingly reciprocates, unlike a random girl who witnessed the whole thing and just reacts with an annoyed gesture.

48[[folder:Asian Animation]]
49* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', Big M. is shown on a few occasions to be wearing underwear with a heart pattern on it.
50* ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'': In "Airport", one of the items in the docs' suitcase is a pair of underwear with a heart-pattern print on them.
51* ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'': In "Chhote Rajaji", we get to see Cham Cham's shorts, which have a heart-print pattern on them and are marked with his name.

55[[AC:Boxers with red/pink hearts]]
56* ComicBook/TheSavageDragon has been known to wear [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HOx_wk4YsxE/Tezm6D63tOI/AAAAAAAAZF4/2MvrjHwz46M/s1600/Savage%2BDragon%2B%252827%2529.jpg print]] [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y50J-5FKLBE/Tezm5kBWtGI/AAAAAAAAZFw/ZLcqHNSuevo/s1600/Savage%2BDragon%2B%252828%2529.jpg boxers]], including the classic [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qb3qU5AV6H8/TezoEpWcT2I/AAAAAAAAZGY/QdtzY182Ia0/s1600/Savage%2BDragon%2B%252823%2529.jpg hearts.]]
57* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} was shown wearing such underpants when he tried to go through airport security, but his adamantium skeleton kept setting off the metal detectors.
58
59[[AC:Other-print boxers]]
60* ComicBook/TheRiddler apparently has green question-mark print boxers.
61* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is occasionally seen in boxers with his logo (a stylized version of his mask) on them.
62** He's also occasionally seen in boxers featuring other heroes' logos, including Captain America. One gag featured him upset that his ComicBook/SquirrelGirl Underoos(TM) were improperly washed. That's right, Squirrel Girl. Might explain why she's so vicious towards him.
63*** And to make matters even [[{{Pun}} nuttier]], that particular issue happened long before Deadpool even knew that Squirrel Girl even existed. Here at Website/TVTropes, we like to call this ''{{foreshadowing}}''.
64** His recent adventures take this to a whole new level of horrifying as he has acquired Jean "Marvel Girl" Grey's original costume, complete with tiny yellow panties. An attempt to impress some ladies by stripping down reveals that he wears these when his other clothes are being laundered.
65* David Qin from ''ComicBook/StrangersInParadise'' also had a pair with teddy bear print. They were a gift.
66* A ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic strip featured the Eighth Doctor jumping through various {{Elseworld}}s. In the one where he was [[BroughtDownToNormal an ordinary human]] in a relationship with [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie Dr Grace]], the one Doctor-ish touch was the question-mark print boxers.
67* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' In "Perceptions", Peter wore ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat'' [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zCsAtksGb0M/Ss9e1mLXUuI/AAAAAAAAEaU/oyngVy1HzGw/s1600-h/spiderman10-2.jpg boxers.]] (Artist Todd [=McFarlaine=] often slipped Felix into the background art, and in this story, where a character actually commented on it, he was scripting the story as well.)
68* ''ComicBook/SupergirlWednesdayComics'': One mailman who gets his pants ripped off by Krypto the Superdog wears white boxer shorts with little read hearts.
69* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': In a story where [[RealityWarper Mr Mxyzptlk]] had taken over Metropolis and Superman and ComicBook/LexLuthor were in an EnemyMine situation, they attempt to infiltrate "Mxcorp" [[DressingAsTheEnemy disguised as guards]]. Mxy waves a hand to remove their uniforms leaving them in boxers. Supes were blue with an S-shield pattern, and Lex had green with "L"s. (It seems likely Mxy added this touch ForTheLulz.)
70* The cover of the ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' Free Comic Book Day 2014 issue is a parody of the famous image from ''Comicbook/SpiderMan'' #50 ("Spider-Man No More!") in which Pete in street clothes walks away from a bin with his Spidey-suit in it. On this cover Comicbook/JudgeDredd is walking away from a re-syk bin containing his Judge uniform, while wearing nothing except boxers printed with his badge.
71
72[[AC:Other men's underwear]]
73* [[ComicBook/TheFlash Wally West]] once ran around in [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5bcfpMCxb6I/RxzLTgkC4wI/AAAAAAAABCY/MgvV-kfcZsM/s1600-h/JLA59a.jpg fruity]] [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5bcfpMCxb6I/RxzLFgkC4vI/AAAAAAAABCQ/Fr6-rZiQ35Y/s1600-h/JLA59b.jpg briefs]] under mind control.
74* In ''Rocket Raccoon (2016)'' #5, while fighting [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Kraven the Hunter]], Rocket pulls open Kraven's tights to throw a flashbang inside, revealing his [[RealMenWearPink pink heart-print briefs]].
75** Additionally, in the previous two comics of that arc, Rocket ran around New York City in nothing but his tighty-whiteys and gloves.
76* ComicBook/MrBeaver is seen wearing light purple briefs with little white hearts in the second issue.
77
78[[AC:Childish women's underwear]]
79* Comicbook/{{Empowered}} owns a pair of Capitan Rivet-printed panties. [[FanGirl And the matching t-shirt]].
80* [[ComicBook/SecretSix Scandal Savage]] has a pair of polka dot boyshorts. Ragdoll, meanwhile, has yellow footie pajamas, complete with buttflap.
81* When a trio of action scientists in ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext had to strip before a tribe of rock people]], we see the female one's panties have a cartoon bear head on them.
82* ''ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}'': Evidently, Kate Kane has [[https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/ea729561-6200-4d41-b100-ae44d10473d4/ddf994z-97f094fb-a9e4-4f34-a7f6-3746c2fd8934.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2VhNzI5NTYxLTYyMDAtNGQ0MS1iMTAwLWFlNDRkMTA0NzNkNFwvZGRmOTk0ei05N2YwOTRmYi1hOWU0LTRmMzQtYTdmNi0zNzQ2YzJmZDg5MzQuanBnIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.i_SDqiEeZCt8emiQbLUH9vCltHwdm-xCpg2kIJUrML0 a pair of planet-printed briefs]].
83* A RunningGag in the Amanda Conner/Jim Palmiotti era of ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'' is Harley's tendency to wear colourful underwear with fun prints. Once or twice, her girlfriend ComicBook/PoisonIvy is shown similarly.
84* Another Conner/Palmiotti example would also be in the pages of their ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' run, where Peeg's sidekick, Terra, once had to help with some superheroing while on a day out, but lacking her costume, she just stripped to her underwear, which had a cartoon ladybug printed on the butt.

91[[AC:Other-print boxers]]
92* One arc of ''ComicStrip/BreakingCatNews'' features the cats at the vet. During their exams, they're in underwear. Sweet-natured Puck, of course, wears white boxers with red hearts.
93** Elvis also wears heart-printed boxers in one strip because he thinks it's [[https://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/its-really-hot-today/ too hot to wear pants]].
94* Jon Arbuckle from ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'s'' wardrobe of underwear consists entirely of brightly colored (and patterned) boxers.
95** Including a pair that glows in the dark.
96*** One strip from the mid-90s also features Jon getting caught outside the house one morning while wearing his bunny footy pajamas.
97* Not sure if this counts as newspaper comics, but [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Ww2_poster_oct0404.jpg this]] WWII propaganda poster shows Hitler wearing boxers with swastikas on them.
98* In ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' Jeremy's dad [[http://zitscomics.com/comics/february-10-2016/ wears heart boxers.]]
99
100[[AC:Other men's underwear]]
101* [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin's]] rocketship briefs, used for gags at least three times.
102** Somewhat subverted in that he's actually very proud of them, and (being Calvin) is implied to show them off any chance he gets.
103*** Except on the day where he rips his pants and then has to do a problem on the chalkboard, though this may be due to his PingPongNaivete.
104** He finds it hard to be without his cartoon underpants, having a need to gird his loins with funny animals.
105** In a SundayStrip drawn as one of Susie's fantasies where Calvin and Susie are an adult couple, Calvin tells Susie he's not her husband but [[TarzanBoy "Wonga-Taa, king of jungle"]] and strips off his suit until he's wearing only leopard-print briefs. Susie's reaction: "Oh, nice underpants! You're really gross."
106* [[ComicStrip/FoxTrot FoxTrot's]] Jason wears [[http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrotclassics/2013/02/22 Unix underpants]].
107

117* In ''Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami'', Mello has underwear with Ms on them. Dark has the same kind of underwear, except with Ds on them.
118** Heck, almost every ''Manga/DeathNote'' fanfic where [[{{Geek}} Matt's]] underwear may be mentioned (most commonly {{Slash Fic}}s of him and Mello), they'll be printed with something related to ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', etc.

Both give their friend Olga fits of hysterical laughter.[[note]]Granted, she saw Cantor's underpants while intoxicated, and she discussed it with Jacques while recovering from drug overdose.[[/note]] When the jester tells about it to king Shellar (who always wears black), the king deadpans that the assassin [[ComedyAsAWeapon kills people with laughter]] by showing them his underwear.

151* In ''Grave Peril'', one of Literature/TheDresdenFiles books, Harry Dresden fought off vampires while wearing only yellow ducky boxers (especially amusing as he'd stolen them from the vampires' laundry room). It's since become a running joke in the fandom.

Rumor has it they belong to Dragonrider, the daughter of supervillain Devilmaster.

169Well, there's Tulsa County Sheriff,\
170Standin' there in front of God and CBS and who knows who,\
171Wearin' nothin' but his boots\

190
191[[AC:Other men's underwear]]
192* Wrestling/JimCornette was in the wrestling business for decades, and over those many years his pants would occasionally snag to due his own missteps, the actions of another worker or even attacks from enraged fans. Whatever the occasion, he would ALWAYS be wearing some ugly pattern on his underwear. Sometimes they were handmade, by Cornette himself, as he later revealed stores didn't always have something stupid enough to wear, literally turning this trope into an art form in of itself.
193* In a Tuxedo Match, Wrestling/SantinoMarella stripped Ricardo Rodriguez, Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio's manservant, down to a pair of white briefs [[MalevolentMugshot with a silhouetted image of Del Rio's face on the seat]], in a WWE moment that was [[SarcasmMode definitely not disturbing at all]].

210[[folder:Visual Novels]]
211* In ''VisualNovel/{{Rewrite}}'', Kotarou gets a view of Chihaya's panties as he saves her from being stuck in a tree (It's a long story...). After that, "cherries" is not a good word for him to say around her.
212* In ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', Rikki [[AccidentalPervert accidentally]] sees Komari's panties while helping to free her from a water tank on the school roof. At first he isn't sure if the animal represented is an anteater or armadillo, and when Komari finds out he saw her she wails that now she won't be able to get a bride (not ''be'' a bride, [[HoYay ''get'']] one).
