6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** Bob has a lot of {{Shirtless Scene}}s, but he wears a shirt sometimes.
8	** Bob wears some sort of coat, cape, sash, or other garment that covers up some of his torso, but doesn't wear an actual shirt.
9	* '''Justified''':
10	** Bob lives in a hot climate, where not wearing shirts are normal.
11	** Bob is a NatureHero and wears only enough clothes to keep from being arrested.
12	** Bob is a BarbarianHero or he came from a BarbarianTribe; not wearing shirts is a cultural thing amongst them.
13	** Bob is a {{Chippendales Dancer\|s}}; it's literally his job to prance around shirtless.
14	** Bob keeps [[ClothingDamage losing his shirt]] or [[GivingThemTheStrip having to get rid of it]] to the point he just stops wearing one for the sake of convenience.
15	** [[MrFanservice Bob]] just likes to [[ShamelessFanserviceGuy strut his build]].
16	** Bob would rather not be uncomfortable in battles, and believes going topless leaves him more flexible and comfortable.
17	** It's difficult or even outright impossible for Bob to wear a shirt, such as if he has some form of BizarreAlienBiology that makes his upper body oddly-shaped enough.
18	* '''Inverted''':
19	** Bob never takes his shirt off, even in situations where it doesn't make sense to keep it on.
20	** Bob never wears pants.

22	* '''Double Subverted''':
23	** ...but the sequel does.
24	** Normally bare-chested Bob has to wear a T-shirt ... [[LoopholeAbuse but nothing says that it couldn't be transparent from the front]].
25	* '''Parodied''':
26	** Bob is allergic to fabric, and breaks into a rash if his chest is ever covered by a piece of clothing.
27	** Bob doesn't know how to put on a shirt.
28	** Instead of Bob, Alice is the one who doesn't ''ever'' bother covering her chest, for [[InnocentFanserviceGirl one reason]] or [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl another]].
29	** Bob never wears a shirt, because he wants to show off how ripped he is ... [[FanDisservice except he's actually obese]].
30	** Bob actually wants to wear a shirt, but every time he tries to buy one the cashier just stares at his abs and refuses to complete the checkout. One day, his local clothing store finally gets a self-checkout, but it turns out the machine is attracted to him as well.
31	** [[GenderBlenderName Bob]] has such massive breasts she cannot put on ''any'' shirt.
32	* '''Zig-Zagged''':
33	** Bob has multiple personality disorder. Therefore, he may be modest one day, and not wear a shirt the next. Sometimes an open shirt, and sometimes just a sash.
34	** Bob has a double life. During the day, he is shirted. At night, he is a shirtless crime-fighting vigilante.
35	** Bob is normally bare-chested. But then comes a time when he has to walk around in cold enough weather that he's forced to wear a long-sleeved shirt ''and'' close it at all times, lest he suffer pneumonia. True to himself, he keeps grumbling about how he hates his situation. Eventually, he does return to his usual wardrobe of choice--only to later have to disguise himself as Charles, who never goes shirtless in public. And just when Bob finally ditches the disguise, he gets invited to a close friend's wedding, and decides to not embarrass the friend by walking around with a naked torso. But just when things finally seem to return to normality, Bob has to wear a hazmat suit because there's been a leakage of a bio-chemical warfare agent in the neighborhood, which is highly transmissible via skin contact ... At this point, he gives the middle finger to the universe and wears a specially-designed hazmat suit whose torso is transparent!

37	* '''Averted''': Bob always keeps his shirt on in public.
38	* '''Enforced''': "[[ExecutiveMeddling We]] can make this movie more marketable towards women if Bob ditches the shirt!" %%Enforced means included for reasons OTHER THAN the author wanting to.

43	** Bob decides to put a shirt on (because it's cold) ... but not before greeting a few girls.
44	** A terrorist notices everyone has bulletproof armor on ... but he knows at least one person is being a rebel. After all, this is a StonerFlick!
45	* '''Defied''': To avoid attracting unwanted attention, Bob attempts to wear a shirt at all times.
46	* '''Discussed''': "If Bob went around without a shirt on, chicks would be all over him."
47	* '''Conversed''': "Couldn't Bob wear a shirt at least once? He's making me sensitive about my appearance." "Please. You're HollywoodPudgy at most."
48	* '''Deconstructed''':
