Basic Trope: A character wakes up from unconsciousness and finds that their clothing was removed or changed.
- Straight: William wakes up after passing out drunk the previous night and finds that he's naked.
- Exaggerated: Everyone who was at the party wakes up to find that they were naked.
- Downplayed: William wakes up and finds that most of his clothing is still there, but is missing some articles such as his glasses, shoes, hat, and jacket.
- Justified:
- Emily was caring for William after she found that he passed out, and were aware that it'd probably be uncomfortable for him to sleep in his regular clothing.
- William also suffered some Clothing Damage prior to passing out, so Emily decided to take the clothing so that she could repair it.
- Someone undressed William because they wanted to do something rather unsavory to him.
- William's clothes ended up wet, putting him at risk for hypothermia, hence the need for them to be removed.
- The doctors undressed him to check for further injuries.
- Inverted: William ends up naked at some point before passing out - when he wakes up, he finds that clothing was put on him.
- Subverted: William wakes up elsewhere and finds that his clothes were still on him, just a little more disheveled than when when he passed out.
- Double Subverted: Once he fully wakes, he finds that the clothing brands/colors are different.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Nobody removes William's clothing after he passes out.
- Enforced:
- The actor playing William is pretty good-looking, so the writers wanted an excuse for him to show off his body.
- In more comical uses, it may be to throw in some Naked People Are Funny.
- Lampshaded: "Wait, wasn't I wearing clothes before I blanked out?"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: William's friends move him to safety. One of them, Emily, stays at William's side to make sure nobody removes anything.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
Back to Undressing the Unconscious... hey, where are my clothes?
