Line #9 PlayingWith/ShirtlessScene


1	'''Basic Trope''': A scene where the male character is temporarily topless.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob takes his shirt off for a scene.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Bob, Charles, and Dan are all shirtless simultaneously.
5	** WalkingShirtlessScene.
6	* '''Downplayed''': Bob unbuttons his shirt for a scene, but keeps the shirt on, covering his shoulders and back.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Bob removed his shirt because it was too hot for him to keep it on.
9	** He removed his shirt because he was about to cannonball into the swimming pool.
10	** [[FromDressToDressing He tore his shirt into strips to bandage Alice's arm.]]
11	** He's changing shirts.
12	* '''Inverted''':
13	** A WalkingShirtlessScene character puts a shirt ''on'' for a single scene.
14	** Bob is showing off his legs and butt by not wearing trousers, but he ''is'' wearing a shirt.
15	* '''Gender Inverted:''' Alice takes off ''her'' shirt.
16	* '''Subverted''': [[DressHitsFloor A shirt hits the floor]] and Alice gasps… but then there's a full shot of Bob, and we see he's fully clothed. He actually just opened a closet, pulled out a shirt to get a better view--the shirt that hit the floor--and revealed Charles and Dan kissing. [[TenMinutesInTheCloset Alice and Bob had locked them in the closet earlier.]]
17	* '''Double Subverted''': …and when they come out, we see Charles ''is'' shirtless.
18	* '''Parodied''':
19	** Bob takes off his shirt to reveal a not-particularly-compelling physique. All the other characters think he's wildly attractive.
20	** Or conversely, Bob--who is ''very'' hot--takes off his shirt, and all the other characters shrug and say, "Meh."
21	* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob is wearing a shirt; [[SexySoakedShirt a very thin, wet, white shirt that does not obscure view of his torso whatsoever.]]
22	* '''Averted''': All male characters keep their shirts on.
23	* '''Enforced''': AvoidTheDreadedGRating.
24	* '''Lampshaded''': "Nice pecs. Why do you ever wear shirts?"
25	* '''Invoked''': Bob is fighting an ActionGirl and takes off his shirt to [[DistractedByTheSexy distract her]].
26	* '''Exploited''': Bob took off his shirt for temperature reasons, but he flexes for Alice while he's at it.
27	* '''Defied''': Bob refuses to take his shirt off for ''anything''.
28	* '''Discussed''': ???
29	* '''Conversed''': "Why does ever guy on ''The Trope Show'' take off his shirt once per season? Is it written into the guys' contracts or something?"
30	* '''Played For Drama''': Bob's friend Michelle wants to surprise her girlfriend Emily by cleaning their shared apartment while she's at work. Bob agrees to help, but after a few hours of work, he starts overheating and has to take his shirt off to cool down; Michelle suggests they both take a short break and watch some TV. Emily -- who has been cheated on before -- finishes work early, goes home, and walks in on her girlfriend hanging out with an unknown, half-naked man and [[MistakenForCheating assumes the worst]].
31	* '''Deconstructed''': Bob takes off his shirt and soon gets cold. All the characters agree that goosebumps, shivering, and complaining about how cold you are, is ''not'' sexy.
32	* '''Reconstructed''': It might not be sexy, but Bob's OneTrueLove doesn't care, and hugs him until he's warm.
