We've all seen characters naked before, but what about when they leave their shoes on?

- Sonic is probably the best known example of this trope.

- There is no strict format for examples, in order to keep them from being boringly alike. However, don't hide the name of the work in a pothole or assume that you don't need to mention it at all because everyone will recognize the character name or situation. The name of the work should occur within the first few words of the example.
- Be sure to give context to all examples that explain how they fit within the trope. Don't just gesture at it by saying "it does this", those are what we call Zero-Context Example.
- Multiple citations from a single series can go either into one large entry or several individual entries.
- Multiple citations, if put in individual entries, are on another level of bullets.
- Don't have two levels for only one item, though. See Example Indentation in Trope Lists.
- Sometimes dialogue may be quoted in an example. Use the following template:Character One: Witty comment.
Character Two: Snappy riposte.
Character One: Devastating put-down. - Subversions, inversions and counterexamples can either go in the same list as examples, or have their own separate lists following it. Usually the latter occurs when subversions, inversions, and counterexamples are common. Do us all a favor and make sure your examples are actually subversions, though.
- Keep "in-line" examples of the trope to a minimum.
- Don't call something "recent" or talk about "last week's episode" or things like that. If your examples are good ones, they'll be around for a long time, and "recent" loses all meaning. Use episode names, or numbers, or give at least a rough date ("In August of 2011...")
