History Main / GettingHotInHere

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': during the ''New Testament'' arc, Academy City suffers an inexplicable extreme heat wave in November (which, yes, turns out to have been artificially induced), such that the entire city's population starts going around in their swimsuits in an effort to cool off.

* In ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', Kiyama Harumi tends to use this trope whenever it gets hot, far below SaunaOfDeath levels. She is always stopped by other female characters about halfway through.

* In ''Film/{{Firequake}}'', four scientist get stuck on underground tunnels that they end up getting sweaty, so they removing their containment suits, the female scientist also removes her regular shirt alongside the containment suit, [[MsFanservice remaining in a tank top]].

* Spoofed in the recurring ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' segment "How Do You Say?... Ah, Yes!... Show," where Chris Kattan played a ''very'' randy Antonio Banderas. The sketch always ended with Kattan "innocently" remarking "It is hot in here, no?" and tearing off his shirt to the accompaniment of a flamenco guitar before trying to "seduce" (i.e. date-rape) his female guest.

* Happens in the French animation show ''WesternAnimation/IlEtaitUneFois l'Espace'' (''Once Upon a Time... Space''), at the beginning of the "Revenge of the Humanoids" story arc. The spaceship of Peter and Psi crash-lands on a [[SingleBiomePlanet desert planet]] and the internal heat regulator is busted, leading the male and female leads to strip off their tops. The desert part of the trope is then averted when they venture outside, though, as they wear heat-repellent suits.

* In an episode of ''Anime/JuushinkiPandora'', when a swarm of B.R.A.I. bees reach the water supply of Neo Xianglong, the vibration of their wings causes the temperature of the entire city to quickly rise. Jay, Cecile and the rest of the control room take off their jackets to slightly alleviate the heat.

* During the CampingEpisode of ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'', sharing a tent with Matsuri gives Suzu an ImagineSpot where they strip down to avoid the heat--while rubbing their bodies together for no reason.

* At the beginning of the "Revenge of the Humanoids" story arc in ''[[WesternAnimation/IlEtaitUneFois Once Upon a Time... Space]]'', the spaceship of Peter and Psi crash-lands on a desert planet and the internal heat regulator is busted. This leads the male and female leads to strip off their tops. The desert part of the trope is then averted when they venture outside, though, as they wear heat-repellent suits.

* ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'': In one Don Martin [[IncrediblyLamePun strip]] set at a masquerade party, a guy suggests this to a buxom-looking guest in a horse costume. The guest agrees and removes the top of the costume to reveal [[spoiler:[[TotemPoleTrench two men]], the "breasts" being the uppermost guy's bent legs]].

* In ''Film/{{Firequake}}'', four scientist get stuck on underground tunnels that they end up getting sweaty, so they removing their containtment suits, the female scientist also removes her regular shirt alongside the containtment suit, [[MsFanservice remaining in a tank top]].

* In ''Series/KnightRider 2008'', KITT is hit by a missile containing a napalm compound, putting it on fire. The invulnerable car can take it, but the heat is rising fast inside (as well as the oxygen depleting). Inside, Micheal and Sarah, to last a bit longer while KITT and the Knight Foundation are looking for a solution, strip down to their underwear.

* ''Webcomic/StickManStickMan'' plays with this in [[http://stickman.qntm.org/comics.php?n=692 strip 692]]: the heros are stuck in a car lifted by a helicopter over a volcano, so one of them suggests this.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': In the episode [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison "Pretty Poison"]] we we see Harvey Dent wipe sweat off his brow, complaining about it getting warm in the French restaurant him and his best friend Bruce Wayne are sitting in, mere seconds after Harvey's [[TheTease sultry]] girlfriend Pamela Isley gave him a [[BigDamnKiss lengthy goodbye kiss]] and disembarked. It isn't long before Dent goes cross-eyed and [[FaceplantingIntoFood drops headfirst into his chocolate mousse.]] We discover later on that Isley smooched Harvey while wearing [[DruggedLipstick tainted lipstick]].

* The song "[[TropeNamers Hot in Here]]" by Nelly. And the video clip, of course.

Characters are LockedInARoom, and the temperature's rising to SaunaOfDeath levels. They decide to take a few clothes off to get comfortable (but not necessarily "[[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow get comfortable]]").

* Victims of moderate to severe hypothermia can experience sensations of overheating. This, combined with confusion and disorientation, often drives them to remove their clothing, exacerbating their condition.

** On the othet hand, hyperthermia victims actually do overheat, so one of the prime advices is to take off most of their clothes.

* In ''Anime/TheBigO'' episode "Call From The Past", Angel and Roger Smith are trapped in a building underwater. Angel takes off her dress (leaving her in her lingerie) and afterwards is shown fanning herself, indicating that she did it because she was feeling hot. It starts around 3:55 on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Ir1rZZW0Y this YouTube video.]] BTW, this is {{Fanservice}}, an indication of UnresolvedSexualTension, ''and'' a way for Roger to see the ''very symbolic'' scars she has on her back (which make Roger wonder if his constant tease of calling her a ''fallen'' angel might have some real meaning). :)

* Averted in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', when Misato refuses to take off anything with Kaji also present in the {{elevator|GoingDown}}, despite it really getting hot. Then again, it's mentioned several times that they used to date and went through a painful break-up, so it makes sense from her point of view.

* The Radio Drama of ''Manga/UFOPrincessValkyrie'' has a two-episode story where child Valkyrie accidentally traps everyone inside an improvised sauna. [[UnwantedHarem All of the girls]] (except for [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Akina]], of course, due to the presence of Kazuto as well as Risa for being ''absent the entire radio series'') remove their clothes to cool off. Somewhat subverted in the fact that Akina actually ''does'' start getting dangerously dizzy and faint from the heat due to not stripping.

* In ''Film/SpeedZone'', Charlie (Creator/JohnCandy) and Tiffany (Donna Dixon) are rammed by a vehicle that is pursuing them. This damages the car's cooling system and the engine starts overheating. Charlie cranks the car's heater up to full to pull heat off the engine while they escape. The interior heats up to the point where they both start stripping off their clothes: thereby providing both {{Fanservice}} and FanDisservice in the one scene.
* Both Linda and Rusty strip down to their tanks tops in ''Film/NuclearHurricane'' once it starts to get hot in the small confined area they are.

* ''Series/{{Primeval}}'': Season 1 has Abby keeping her pet lizard Rex in tropical temperatures, requiring her to walk around in her underwear. A new season and a change of timeline later, she seems to have lost the habit.

* Also parodied in one of the first episodes of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', when the guys are all trying to redesign Penny's apartment. Penny, who's perfectly happy with it as it is, says something along the lines of, "It's getting hot in here, I think I'll take off all my clothes" to get their attention. Completely unsuccessfully.
* Done completely straight in a Season One episode of ''Series/AshesToAshes2008'', with [[spoiler:Alex Drake and Gene Hunt locked in a secure and near-airtight document vault. Alex strips down to her underwear and Gene breaks out a hip-flask just in time for Ray and Chris to arrive and break them out.]]
* Played for laughs in ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' with a scene outside a tower block with a young lady changing in the window (and the lines "My it's hot in here" badly dubbed on). Later this scene is itself parodied where Ramsay [=MacDonald=] is the "My, it's hot in here" stripper.
* Spoofed in the recurring ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' segment "How Do You Say?... Ah, Yes!... Show," where Chris Kattan played a ''very'' randy Antonio Banderas.

* In an early episode of ''Series/{{Farscape}}'', an alien decides to lay eggs and hatch its young in Moya, and has to increase the heat in order to properly incubate the eggs properly. Aeryn ends up going into heat delirium (a potentially fatal condition her species is susceptible to, due to their being unable to deal with excessive heat). She does her best to lower her body temperature by removing some clothing, followed by taking a cold shower. Since heat delirium is apparently a very unpleasant way to go, this is not played for {{Fanservice}}. (Much.)
* In an early episode of ''Series/{{Eureka}}'', Sheriff Carter's smart house stages an intervention to keep him in town. When short-circuiting the AI causes it to revert to an earlier personality, a military interrogation AI named BRAD, the AI separates the six people into groups of two. Carter and Alison are in a section of the house that's freezing, while Douglas Fargo and Beverly Barlowe are in a section that is getting unbearably hot. Beverly finally removes her dress, asking Fargo to look away. Marginal {{Fanservice}}, since her slip isn't much more revealing than her dress (save for maximum cleavage) and the difficulty is resolved moments later and the dress goes back on.
* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'': Having defeated Stanley Baldwin in the election for PM, Ramsey [=McDonald=] enters his flat where he says "My, it's hot in here." He begins to disrobe to show he's wearing women's underwear.
* ''Series/ModernFamily'': The Dunphy's next door neighbour Walt used to keep the temperature in house high so the meals-on-wheel lady would have to take her sweater off.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. Captain Janeway returns to ''Voyager'' to find the crew infected and immobilized by an alien virus, that eventually leaves the body and grows into a large and hostile MonsterOfTheWeek. As the environmental controls are no longer working ''Voyager'' can't vent any heat, so the audience is gifted by a LockAndLoadMontage in which our ActionGirl strips down to a [[{{Fanservice}} sweaty tank top]] and grabs a [[{{BFG}} compression phaser rifle]] to get Creator/SigourneyWeaver on the creatures' butts.

* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'': a skit set in a steam room has Miss Piggy suggest this to guest star Rudolf Nureyev, who is wearing only a towel.
-->'''Miss Piggy:''' If you're warm, maybe you're overdressed.\\
'''Rudolf Nureyev:''' I'm fine, thank you.\\
'''Miss Piggy:''' Then maybe ''I'm'' overdressed.

* The song [[TropeNamers "Hot in Herre"]] by Nelly. And the video clip, of course.

Space]]'', the spaceship of Peter and Psi crash-lands on a desert planet and the internal heat regulator is busted. This leads the male and female leads to strip off their tops.
