** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6697 SCP-6697]] AKA Serenity Never is a revived series of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' continuing long past the original finale. Over the course of this anomalous series, George becomes [[NoticingTheFourthWall increasingly aware that something is wrong with reality]], suffers a breakdown over jump cut transitions, and once it becomes clear that events will continue regardless of what he does, begins killing off characters - until he's left as the sole remaining character. And he can't kill himself. But it's not until he finally notices the laugh track that [[GoMadFromTheRevelation George's sanity really vanishes]]. The next episode features George stripping naked and begging the audience to get the show taken off the air.

** Trevor's list of disorders and personal problems would probably last long than the entire article, all adding up to one [[HairTriggerTemper extremely temperamental]], [[DrugsAreBad drug-addicted]], [[BloodKnight violent]] [[TheSociopath psychopathic]] [[VillainProtagonist criminal mastermind]]... and from time to time, he ends up stripped down to his underwear in public, usually while doing something spectacularly irrational.

* Pandoran Psychos of the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series [[WalkingShirtlessScene never wear shirts]] except for the females of ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'' who wear [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring tank tops]] or {{sarashi}}.

* ''ComicBook/CinemaPurgatorio'' features the usherette of the [[AbominableAuditorium eponymous movie theatre]] growing increasingly eccentric as the story continues and the inhabitants of the building find themselves [[ClosedCircle unable to leave]]. By the final issues, she's given up on wearing clothes entirely and attends to her duties stark naked; for good measure, she responds to the murders depicted in ''One Hell Of A Girl'' by [[ADateWithRosiePalms loudly masturbating]].

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': Early on in "You Made Me!", the Earl of Lemongrab (who suffers from an AmbiguousDisorder) runs through the streets of the Candy Kingdom tearing his clothes off while in the throes of a nervous breakdown.

* ''VideoGame/NelsonTethersPuzzleAgent'': The second game involves a sequence where [[spoiler:Nelson voluntarily summons [[AlienFairFolk the Hidden People]] to speak to him so he can fix the lunacy ray. Once you finish a sequence of puzzles taking place in Nelson's head, the game cuts back to the real world to reveal Nelson fixing it in his underwear while incoherently jabbering about mathematical formulas.]]

* ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth:'' When the kids has to confess to the Big Bad Government Guy about the purpose of the Stick of Truth, he immediately grows mad with power when holding the Stick and claims that nobody can control him and can do what he wants, which includes [[FanDisservice stripping naked in front of a couple of young boys]].

* ''ComicBook/Batman'' villain Mr Zsasz is a psychopathic SerialKiller with a mission to "free" his victims from their lives and an obsessive desire to carve a mark into his body for every kill. Given that they're his most distinctive feature, his tally marks are his most recognized feature, and he is frequently encountered in a state of undress so he can show them off - most commonly via a WalkingShirtlessScene.

* By the events of Morpheus's return in ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989,'' the Justice League have been forced to effectively depower John Dee AKA Dr Destiny by removing his ability to dream so he wouldn't be able to use the Materioptikon. As a result, he's lapsed into [[PsychopathicManchild childish madness]] and been committed to Arkham Asylum, where the staff have forbidden him from wearing clothes in case he tries to hang himself with them. As such, when Dr Dee finally breaks out, he's completely naked until he's given a coat by a terrified motorist ([[KickTheDog who he then murders]]). For good measure, after torturing a diner full of innocent people to death over the course of twenty-four hours, he doffs the coat and [[FullFrontalAssault challenges Morpheus to a fight for supremacy]]. Oh, and for added horror, Dee is essentially a [[FanDisservice an emaciated, skeletal ghoul]] thanks to his imprisonment.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHouse2022:'' Over the course of Chapter 2, [[spoiler: the bug infestation of the House, the lack of prospective buyers, and the presence of a family of mysterious squatters all end up driving the Developer to the brink of a breakdown... and in the finale, the realization that the squatters are actually giant versions of the insects pushes the Developer over the edge: when he's next seen, the anthropomorphic rat has [[UnanthropomorphicTransformation regressed to animal intelligence]], now crawling on all fours and living in a burrow behind the oven - and he's also chewed off most of his hospital gown, leaving him naked except for his fur.]]

* One of the most common news stories featured on ''WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou'' involves someone appearing naked or half-naked in public and doing something spectacularly irrational. Sometimes, alcohol, drugs or mental illness will be involved, but more often than not, no explanation for the nudity will emerge at all - much to Nash and Tara's exasperation. For good measure, this often segues into the classic "[[FullFrontalAssault Naked Rampage]]."

* In the finale of ''VideoGame/Bioshock1'', [[spoiler: Frank Fontaine]] is [[VillainousBreakdown so desperate to defeat you]] that he resorts to splicing up with all the [[PsychoSerum ADAM]] he's stockpiled so far, quickly becoming just as crazed and delusional as all the other Splicers encountered throughout the game. When you finally catch up with him, he's stark naked - and so muscular he probably wouldn't be able to wear clothes anyway.

* Occurs throughout ''VideoGame/{{Outlast}}''. Set in a dilapidated mental hospital now being run as a research laboratory by the Murkoff Corporation, several demonstrably-insane patients go about their day in varying states of undress: hyper-militarized killer [[TheJuggernaut Chris Walker]] is a WalkingShirtlessScene, a few [=NPCs=] are missing shirts or trousers, quirky psychopath [[MadDoctor "Dr" Rick Trager]] dresses only in an apron, cannibal Frank Manera is permanently stripped down to his undies, and [[CreepyTwins the cold-hearted Twins]] casually wander around wearing nothing whatsoever.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts 2}}'': One of the mental vaults in "Hollis's Hot Streak" shows Hollis Forsythe, in her old job as an unappreciated hospital intern, trying to rewrite the mind of her MeanBoss Dr. Potts so he'll confess to [[PlagiarismInFiction stealing her work]]. She accidentally caused Potts to go completely off the deep end and run around the hospital while stripping down to his underwear.

* In the [[Webcomic/TeamFortress2 webcomic adaptation]] of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', AxCrazy CloudCuckooLander Soldier insists on [[FullFrontalAssault fighting naked and covered in honey]] at least twice, on one occasion on a snowy mountain in Siberia. Apparently, he does this regularly, once including, it's implied, on a double date with Scout.

* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', dwarves who become too upset can go insane in a variety of ways. One of them is becoming "Stark Raving Mad". Dwarves in this state take off all their clothes and run around aimlessly until they are calmed down, or die of starvation or dehydration.

* Late in ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate,'' Mary-Anne Lomax's SanitySlippage comes to a head when she randomly shows up in a church, shrouded in a blanket and clearly very badly traumatized. She eventually reveals to Kevin that she's just been raped by [[spoiler: John Milton himself]], but Kevin denies this as the perpetrator was in court with him the whole afternoon - whereupon Mary-Anne tosses the blanket aside, revealing herself to be completely naked and ''[[FanDisservice covered in bloody scratches]].'' [[spoiler: Despite being deliberately driven to a nervous breakdown, she was not imagining the rape; Milton is capable of being in two places at once, and later openly gloats over what he did to Mary-Anne.]]

* ''Film/{{Men}}'': Harper is repeatedly menaced by a naked maniac.

* Delusional SerialKiller Francis Dolarhyde of ''Literature/RedDragon'' most commonly carries out his murders naked, apparently so he can admire his blood-splattered body post-massacre - and it's for this reason that he commonly targets isolated homes.

* In ''Literature/SisterPelagia and the Black Monk'', when [[spoiler:Lentochkin]] [[ObfuscatingInsanity pretends]] to have been DrivenMadFromTheRevelation of the eponymous Black Monk, he, among other things, strips himself naked and violently fights off any attempt to clothe him again -- which is very convincing in the ultra-conservative 19th century provincial Russian society of the book. Later on, Pelagia unwittingly supports his crazy act by discovering that the Black Monk traps his victims in [[BuriedAlive coffins]], inducing extreme {{Claustrophobia}}, which, in [[spoiler:Lentochkin's]] case, is made to appear to be triggered by merely wearing clothes.

* ''Literature/TheSaint'': Referenced in a LopsidedDichotomy by the title character, where he says that if you see someone tearing up the street naked, covered in blood, and holding a cleaver, it may be that they've just got out of the bath, have killed a chicken, and are running off to tell their aunt all about it...but it might be better to just assume they're a homicidal maniac.

* ''Series/{{Justified}}'': A very serious example in Season 3, where Quarles strips down before taking a huge amount of drugs and torturing Donovan.

* Myth/ArthurianLegend: The first story about Yvain has him go crazy and live naked in the woods, basically because of a fight with his wife. Morgan le Fay finds and heals him (which probably inspired later stories where she's his mother).

* In the TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness crossover game ''Midnight Circus,'' it's mentioned that the [[TabletopGame/MageTheAscension Nephandus]] [[EvilSorcerer Devyn Cavendish]] managed to make his way into the uppermost ranks of the circus by becoming an apprentice to the current Ringmaster, a hedge wizard by the name of Mauritius. Once Cavendish had learned everything he could from his master, Mauritius was soon found inexplicably naked and barking like a dog - [[TheStarscream allowing Cavendish to claim the post of Ringmaster]]... but not before having his now-insane predecessor ripped to pieces by his own hounds.

** In the original Nosferatu clanbook, the character template "[[SerialKiller Leatherface]]" is depicted as completely naked except for the crude mask of bandages he wears. He's also soaked in blood and carrying around a severed head.
** According to the Baali clanbook, the [[DevilComplex Baalites]] were born when an unknown Cainite stumbled upon the city of Ashur and slaughtered all but three of them in progressively more hideous ways. The remaining three he Embraced by pouring his blood into the city's sacrificial well and throwing the dying trio in after it, creating the first Baalite vampires: when they finally emerged the next night, the three Fledglings were caked in gore from the corpses in the well and "howling with unquenched fury and madness" - and according to the accompanying image, naked as well.
* The Normalites of ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse''. The results of [[HeteronormativeCrusader Homogeneity Incorporated]] preying on insecure LGBTQ individuals, every single Normalite has been subjected to a treatment purported to "cure" homosexuality; unknown to the public, the company is a [[EvilCorp Pentex]] subsidiary and the treatments involve [[DemonicPossession Bane-possession]]. Patients at first appear contented with their new selves, only to become more and more intolerant towards any sign of social deviance as time goes on, until even the slightest difference prompts irrational rage. The final stage of the metamorphosis involves the newly-created Normalite degenerating into an insentient Fomori pack animal easily distinguished by its [[EyelessFace lack of eyes]], [[NonhumansLackAttributes lack of genitals]], irrational hatred of anything "unnatural", and - of course - constant nudity.

* Throughout the games of the ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'' franchise, [[BigBad Alma Wade]] remains completely naked in her adult form, and it's specifically stated that she'd been driven insane by [[RealityWarper her own powers]] long before she was locked in a vault for most of her life. For the most part, the only reason why she remains nude is because she was kept that way in the vault (and because it's pretty damn creepy). However, the second game in the series gives her a very good reason for being naked: [[spoiler: she's lusting after Beckett, and goes so far as to rape him in the finale.]]

* Occurs throughout ''VideoGame/{{Outlast}}''. Set in a dilapidated mental hospital now being run as a research laboratory by the Murkoff Corporation, several demonstrably-insane patients go about their day in various states of undress: [[TheJuggernaut Chris Walker]] is a WalkingShirtlessScene, a few [=NPCs=] are missing shirts or trousers, quirky psychopath [[MadDoctor "Dr" Rick Trager]] dresses only in an apron, cannibal Frank Manera is permanently stripped down to his undies, and [[CreepyTwins the cold-hearted Twins]] casually wander around wearing nothing whatsoever.
* Ditto ''VideoGame/OutlastII'', in which the Heretics wear nothing apart from mud and twigs, usually while being just as violent, irrational and zealous as the cultists of Temple Gate. Their leader, Val, usually wears a cassock to distinguish herself from her followers; however, in the climax of the game, she strips naked and daubs herself with mud before attacking Blake head-on. [[spoiler: This likely leads to Val raping him while he's in the middle of another dream sequence.]]

* ''ComicBook/CinemaPurgatorio'' features the usherette of the [[AbominableAuditorium eponymous movie theatre]] growing increasingly eccentric as the story continues and the inhabitants of the building find themselves [[ClosedCircle unable to leave]]. By the final issues, she's given up on wearing clothes entirely and attends to her duties stark naked; for good measure, she responds to the murders depicted in ''One Hell Of A Girl'' by [[ADateWithRosyPalms loudly masturbating]].

* By the start of ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989,'' the Justice League have been forced to effectively depower John Dee AKA Dr Destiny by removing his ability to dream so he wouldn't be able to use the Materioptikon. As a result, he's lapsed into [[PsychopathicManchild childish madness]] and been committed to Arkham Asylum, where the staff have forbidden him from wearing clothes in case he tries to hang himself with them.

Oh, and for added horror, Dee is essentially a [[FanDisservice an emaciated, skeletal ghoul]] thanks to his imprisonment.

* ''VideoGame/GunLoco:'' Loony-Binned is a man dressed in only a bunny mascot head, shoes and tighty-whities, granted none of the playable characters are pictures of mental health, but at least they're fully clothed.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{6Teen}}'': "Snow Job" has Jonesy and Nikki arguing and as a result Rob takes them both to mall jail. Jonesy's claustrophobia kicks in and he strips to his underwear feeling like the room is shrinking and getting hotter.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': Roland of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne is said to have tried proposing to a queen named Angelica, but was rejected for being merely a knight. This caused Roland to go mad and he stripped naked before rampaging through France. In Astolfo's Interlude, Astolfo drags the player through France to try to see if Roland has materialized as a Servant, and it turns out that Roland ([[spoiler:well, a remnant of him]]) has gone on another naked rampage, leaving the citizens traumatized.

* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In the episode ''Aquaticism'' the IRS agent that the kids have been duping, fully buys their fake religion and decides to baptize himself by getting in the jellyfish tank. It does not go well.
