| 20 | ->''"And now, I ran out of the house, naked somehow."'' |
| 21 | -->-- '''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''' |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Characters find themselves locked out of a location, which would make for a considerably less socially awkward situation if not for their also being nude. HilarityEnsues, because NakedPeopleAreFunny although it can more rarely be PlayedForDrama. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The sequence normally involves the character struggling to find/acquire their clothes or a way back inside without being seen, possibly resorting to BankruptcyBarrel, ClotheslineStealing, HandOrObjectUnderwear, ImprovisedClothes, MobileShrubbery or StrippingTheScarecrow. They will often fail and get caught or seen by someone, usually resulting in a NakedFreakOut. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Note that the characters in question don't necessarily have to be naked; [[FullyClothedNudity in their underwear]], a bathrobe or a [[ModestyTowel towel]] is close enough. The RuleOfFunny here is based on the awkward situation more than it is the actual nudity. [[{{Fanservice}} Well, most of the time]]. Sometimes this can be {{Inverted|Trope}}, with the character trapped naked inside a room while people are outside; in that case they're likely to OpenTheDoorAndSeeAllThePeople. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Can be started off by ClothingDamage, GoneSwimmingClothesStolen, ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing, SlipperySwimsuit, StrippingSnag, or UndressingTheUnconscious. May involve the use of SceneryCensor, ShouldersUpNudity or other CensorshipTropes to keep any naughty bits concealed. If the character fails to stay hidden, they might make a NakedFirstImpression. Or they might get back inside, only to find a BirthdaySuitSurpriseParty. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | If a character keeps getting into this kind of predicament for some reason, they're probably a ReluctantFanserviceGirl...unless the character in question is [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl not ashamed]] of their state of undress, then the humor will instead come from other people's discomfort, with them likely telling the character to PleasePutSomeClothesOn. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | See ChainedToABed for when an underdressed character is chained to an object, see NotWearingPantsDream for when this sort of scenario happens in a dream and see NoGearLevel for when a character is stuck somewhere without their gear. |

Fortunately it's very early morning, and he manages to race back home ''mostly'' unseen. (He tells his parents some older kids stole his clothes and burned them as a prank.) |
| 178 | * In ''Literature/TheNameOfTheWind'', Kvothe fakes this trope -- he's been living as a beggar and he just came into some money, and he figures that pretending to be a nobleman who got his clothing stolen is easier than pretending to be a noble while wearing any clothing that he owns. |
| 179 | * {{Invoked}} in ''Literature/PussInBoots:'' Puss has arranged so that it looks like his poor master is the local nobleman, but what to do about his lack of decent clothes?

| 186 | -->'''Face:''' So here I am stark naked, locked out of my quarters, running around the corridors looking for a towel, a rag, anything, and I turn the corner and bump right into the executive officer.
