->''"I'm so comfortable with nudity. It's difficult for me to keep my clothes on just in my normal everyday life. As soon as I walk in the door when I come home, off go the clothes."''
-->-- '''Marliece Andrada''', late of ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' and ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}''

The all-time classic line [[ReadyForLovemaking prefacing seduction]] spoken by our FemmeFatale. "Comfortable" will nearly always mean either naked or the [[LingerieScene sexiest lingerie scene]] imaginable, accompanied by some MaleGaze.

Some men will try to use a variation of this as a pickup line. It rarely works that well. There is however a [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] that works better in the form of IntimateOpenShirt.

Parodies of this are also frequent, where "something more comfortable" may mean sweats, a sweater and jeans, or any other sort of [[LiteralMetaphor comfy-but-]][[BoringButPractical unsexy attire.]]

[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant No relation]] to AFormYouAreComfortableWith.

--->'''Vampire:''' Is that all I was to you; a one-bite stand?

* An episode of ''Series/HermansHead'' played with this by having Herman's date say something along these lines. While Herman's lust was prepared to strip down, the more logical parts of his brain didn't want to jump to conclusions, and settled for taking off his jacket and tie. When the date does indeed come back in something slinkier and asks about him, Herman says that he didn't want to be presumptuous.
* In ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' episode "M is for the Many Things She Gave Me", Phil's old friend says this almost verbatim to Will when she is interviewing him about an earthquake. Will is alarmed and says that this trope is why he's "uncomfortable with this higher level of comfort".

* In ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow'' Rob alarmedly thinks he is being seduced by a woman wearing office clothes who says she'll slip into her bedroom and change into something more comfortable. Much to his relief she reappears in a sweater and stretch pants. Then she tries to seduce him.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* "Anna Marie" by Creator/BennyHill:
-->''She said "Now we're alone, let's get cosy\\
I'll put something more comfortable on".\\
And I stood there biting my fingernails\\

The door burst open, she stood there,\\
With all of my mates from the docks.\\
And they all sang Happy Birthday to You,\\
[[BirthdaySuitSurpriseParty And all I had on was my socks!]]''

[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'', Deb of Night uses this phrase in one of her [[ShowWithinAShow radio shows]].

In fact, [[WildMassGuessing a few people have suggested that she's actually a Nosferatu.]]
* Parodied by [[HotAsHell Evelynn]], [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Agony's Embrace]] in ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', a sadistic lust demon who uses the lure of her gorgeous, mostly-naked body to draw people in before [[{{Sadist}} brutally torturing them to death]]. One of the lines she says when recalling isn't all that subtle.

** While [[Characters/DCAUPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]] never quotes the line in [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison "Pretty Poison"]] the way she slinks behind her modesty screen to undress and then slip into her [[SexyBacklessOutfit racy costume]] to coyly greet her entangled "date" Batman evokes this.

* Alluded to in, of all things, ''WesternAnimation/GerryAndersonsNewCaptainScarlet''. Destiny Angel states that she intends to "take a shower and slip into something more comfortable" after a particularly rough mission.

* Invoking [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]], [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Bugs Bunny]] would quip "I hope you won't mind while I slip out of these wet things and into a dry martini."
