History Main / GettingHotInHere

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'' parodied this, with Joey turning up the thermostat:

* 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). :)

* 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 ''Film/PrivateSchool''.

* 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]].

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

* Victims of moderate to severe hypothermia can experience sensations of overheating. This, coupled with confusion and disorientation, often prompts them to remove their clothing.

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

* ''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.

* Done completely straight in a Season One episode of ''Series/AshesToAshes'', 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.]]

* Averted in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', when Misato refuses to take off anything with Kaji also present in the [[ElevatorGoingDown elevator]], 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.

* 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 {{UST}}, ''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). :)

* 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 [[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.

* Literature/NancyDrew, of all people, gets caught in this trope during ''Two Points to Murder'' when she's locked in a basketball team's [[SaunaOfDeath sauna]]. She removes shirt, jeans, socks and shoes, which (though it's not expressly mentioned) leaves her in her underwear when she finally figures out how to escape.

* 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.

* ''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.

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

* 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 it's Creator/BryceDallasHoward, [[{{Fanservice}} you can't really complain]].

* The heroes of ''[[WesternAnimation/IlEtaitUneFois Once Upon a Time... Space]]'', the heroes do that when stranded on a hot planet.

Another variation involves deserts, which would actually be a bad idea in real life, on account of loss of bodily fluids, sunstroke, etc. -- the stereotypical Arabic costume of robes and head-dress exists for a reason.

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

* A Kraft Dinner [[https://youtu.be/iEN2n9bGijI 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.

* Nyssa ''supposedly'' takes off her jacket and then her skirt in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial ''Terminus'' because she is running a fever from Lazar's disease but it was so out of the blue and poorly explained that it has become a running joke among ''Series/DoctorWho'' fans.

* 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 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.

* Most of the characters in ''Film/{{Predator}}'', considering the movie is set in the jungles of South America, Anna ditches her shirt, spending the remainder of the film in a [[TankTopTomboy tank top]]. while the male characters all [[MrFanservice end up]] [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless.]]

* In ''Film/AceVentura: When Nature Calls'', things got a bit hot for the title character whilst spying on someone from within a tank disguised as a rhino. After stripping bare, he finds that the tank door is jammed, so he crawls out through the rhinobot's vagina, meaning that a safari-going family got to witness a rhino [[{{Squick}} giving birth to a fully-grown, naked human]].

* Most of the characters in ''Film/Predator'', considering the movie is set in the jungles of South America, Anna ditches her shirt, spending the remainder of the film in a [[TankTopTomboy tank top]]. while the male characters all [[MrFanservice end up]] [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless.]]

* In the 2008 ''Literature/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth'' film, the group discovers 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 ''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]].

* The ''Film/FantasticFour'' film had Johnny repeatedly utilizing his newfound powers to put this trope in action while riding in a elevator.
