* In the Mu Mu (Dream Dream) Hakusho: Nightmare Hakusho OVA from ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'', Yusuke wakes up realizing he's wearing pajamas with teddy bears on them.
* In the third segment from episode 4 of ''Anime/YoKaiWatch'', Mr. Johnson gets angry at his pupils because Katie forgot her pencil case, Eddie came to school with an empty schoolbag, and Nate forgot his schoolbag. Mr. Johnson is then reminded that [[HypocriticalHumour he came to school in his pyjamas]]. When he realizes, he's utterly embarrassed. All of this happened because of a {{youkai}} that made them forget things.

* ''WebVideo/SandersSides'': Thomas summons Logic and Morality to talk to them. They're caught unaware and appear wearing pyjama onesies, Morality a cat onesie and Logic a unicorn onesie with his necktie over it. While Morality, although a little confused at first, doesn't care at all, Logic is embarrased and stutters an ICanExplain before Thomas just asks them both to change.

* Dagwood Bumstead, husband of ComicStrip/{{Blondie}}, often ventures out of the house in pyjamas and bathrobe to fetch the morning mail or morning newspaper. Some outings have Dagwood locked out of his house with a dilemma: Wait quietly however long for Blondie to venture out the door, or make a racket that's sure to call the neighbors' attention to himself. Adding just that much more misery is that Dagwood's usual jammies are white with large red donuts, which he's had for years.

* Subverted in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Bart charges out of the house in his cowboy footie pyjamas, expecting a snow day. However, there's actually been "a bout of unseasonable warmth." Jimbo mocks him with "Nice PJs, Simpson. Did your mommy buy them for ya?" To which Bart replies, "Of course she did. who else?" much to Jimbo's chagrin.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': In [[https://garfield.com/comic/1994/07/17 this comic]], Jon gets locked outside in his bunny pyjamas. And Garfield refuses to let him back in before everybody can see it.

Similar to FullyClothedNudity if the wearer feels "naked" in his pyjamas despite them covering up all the important bits. Compare HomemadeSweaterFromHell; TheGlassesGottaGo; RedSockRuinsTheLaundry (with the implication that pink = ruined); BadJobWorseUniform; UncoolUndies, and OfCorsetsFunny for other gawky clothes. See also [[PajamaCladHero Pyjama-Clad Hero]]. If the embarrassing pyjamas were a gift, they're probably an example of MyNewGiftIsLame.

Maybe it's something about the pyjamas themselves: they might be pink or some other bright color, and/or have something cutesy printed on them like animals, flowers, fairies, etc., which is especially embarrassing if the character wants to be tough, believes the prints on his pyjamas are too childish for his age, is [[NotSoAboveItAll usually too dignified to wear goofy clothes]], or is a man/boy and believes the colours/patterns are too "effeminate". It could also be a man wearing a nightie, which he (or the people teasing him) thinks is too similar to a dress or maybe the pyjamas are worn, the wrong size, and/or stained. Maybe the pyjamas have feet attached (called "footie pyjamas") which are almost universally seen as babyish. Maybe the pyjamas are perfectly fine, but just seeing someone in their pyjamas is embarrassing enough.

* In The Suite Life of Zack and Cody episode 'Election', Zack, running against Cody for school president, shows a picture of Cody in footie pajamas to the student body.

* ComicBook/FantasticFour : In the first Issue of Creator/MarkWaid's Run, the team respond to a late-night emergency at the think-tank of geniuses, "Cause Cerebral", The Thing has his beauty sleep interrupted while wearing a pair of baby blue pajamas with ducks on them.

* A Teacher's Pet episode begins with Leonard answering the door to his neighbor and crush Leslie while he's wearing cowboy pajamas. Leslie compliments them but Leonard is embarrassed all the same. The ending has him saying he learned not to answer the door in his cowboy pajamas, [[ExactWords which is true]] as the next morning he answers the door to Leslie again while wearing his normal shirt, only for Leslie to laughingly point out Leonard is still wearing firetruck pajama bottoms embarrassing him again.
