History Main / GettingHotInHere

* In ''Film/SpidersIIBreedingGround'', around the end of the movie the lead character Alexandra gets totally covered by steam and takes off her black shirt and continues the reminder of the film in her grey tank top

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 "get comfortable").

!!Examples

* ''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.
** Helen justifies her usual lack of clothing as her travelling in historical eras where it is much hotter than the present.

* Also parodied in one of the first episodes of ''Series/{{The Big Bang Theory}}'', 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.

* ''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/{{Futurama}}''

* 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 ''Film/JurassicWorld'', Claire starts out wearing [[WomanInWhite white]] business attire, but slowly abandons more clothing and becomes sweaty as she spends more time running around the hot jungles of Isla Nublar. Given its Creator/BryceDallasHoward, [[{{Fanservice}} you can't really complain]].

* In the 2008 ''Literature/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth'' film, the group descovers that the temperature on the center of the Earth will rise to the point they will die, after this, Hannah Ásgeirsson abandons her grey shirt for a white tank top and later in the movie Trevor Anderson rips the [[{{SleevesAreForWimps}} sleeves off from his shirt]].

* In one of [[Literature/AesopsFables]], the titular North Wind and the Sun, try to strip off a man's cloak in order to determine which of them is strongest. The Wind blows and howls till he nearly lifts him off his feet, but the traveller only wraps his cloak tighter. Then the Sun burns down, and the man abandons his cloak by the side of the road.

* Harry [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Dresden]] frequently wonders whether this day is a "too hot to wear my bulletproof duster" or "too bullet-y to worry about heatstroke" sort of day. Given the Dresdenverse, no matter what he decides, it's the latter.

* ''Series/{{Primeval}}'': Possible reason why Helen's clothes are all torn, but not sufficient reason why she hasn't popped into one of the many clothes shops she's bound to have encountered in the 21st century.

* A Kraft Dinner commercial had this. The landlord says to two college roomies that "there will be no microwaves or hotplates in the room", prompting them to turn up the thermostat to cook the mac n' cheese. When one asks the other "think we should turn the heat down now?", the other sees the hot women walking through the halls in their undergarments fanning themselves sexily. You can guess the response.

* Happens to Shifu in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/KungFFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness''.

* Happens to the entire cast of ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' in the episode Survival of the Hottest (save for Cat), when the main characters are accidentaly locked in an Recreational vehicle during a heatwave.

* Happens to Shifu in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/KungFFuPandaLegendsofAwesomeness''.

* The Radio Drama of ''Anime/UFOPrincessValkyrie'' has a two-episode story where child Valkyrie accidentally traps everyone inside an improvised sauna. [[UnwantedHarem All of the girls]] (except for [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend 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.

* ''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.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'': Used to play up the {{UST}} for all it was worth between Ulrich and Yumi in episode "New Order", as seen above. And to much frustration, they still remained JustFriends.

* 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 oxygene 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.

* In 1982's one-shot all humor issue ''The Fantastic Four Roast," Spiderman asks Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm to turn off his flame as it was getting a little too warm.

'''Spiderman:''' Fine. I roast you, you roast me. Seems fair.

* Betsy Parker's character does this to herself -- deliberately turning up the heat to give her an excuse to disrobe -- in the 1983 teen sex comedy ''Private School''.

* This might be the reason Nyssa takes off her skirt in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial ''Terminus'' but it was so out of the blue and poorly explained that it has become a running joke among ''Series/DoctorWho'' fans.

* 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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Ir1rZZW0Y this YouTube video]]. BTW, this is {{Fanservice}}, an indication of {{UST}}, ''and'' a way for Roger to see the scars she has on her back. :)
* Snow strips down to a tank top when she fights in the Volcano field in ''Manga/{{MAR}}''. (She usually wears two jackets), Unfortunately, it doesnt end up helping her much...

* Happens in the French animation show ''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 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 miitary 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.
