History Main / Stripperiffic

* Most of the wrestlers for the [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] editions of ''Series/FamilyFeud'' at least wore a T-shirt even if the sleeves were cut off. Wrestling/JayLethal just wore a tiny set of trunks/speedos and a sleeveless robe with nothing to fasten the two sides of it together. It essentially covered nothing but his back and shoulders. While this would be par for the course on a pro wrestling show, it was actually commented on since the game show bills itself as "family friendly", though Lethal dressed the same way four out of five days anyway.

* Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] are practically built on this trope. Although Wrestling/AngelinaLove always wore long pants, Wrestling/VelvetSky, Wrestling/MadisonRayne, and Lacey Von Erich always wore as little as possible.

* Downplayed, but still present in ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'' because this is a comic book game and that sort of thing's a requirement. Almost none of the women are indecently dressed, but among the heroes, The Wraith's outfit has a cleavage window, the Visionary's various costumes are essentially corsets with a belly-button window, Tachyon's default costume only covers one shoulder, Expatriette bares her middriff, and Unity's wearing a very short tank top. Of the men, Haka and Ra are bare-chested. For the most part, the villains avert this, although Ermine does wear an outfit that exposes a fair bit of cleavage, Friction has a bare shoulder in a deliberate mirror of Tachyon and Fright Train's outfit is basically a pair of pants and his mask. Parodied with Guise's Total Beefcake card, which depicts him in a bikini -- which is worn over his normal superhero tights. Which are, in fact, part of his shapeshifted skin. Guise is ''weird''.

* Buzzfeed put together a rare example that also includes males in the amusingly-named "[[http://www.buzzfeed.com/erinchack/times-people-barely-wore-clothes-to-the-vmas 13 Times People Barely Wore Clothes To The VMAs]]." "({{N|otSafeForWork}}SFWish outfits)"

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':

* This trope seems to be [[https://web.archive.org/web/20130829012038/http://www.buzzfeed.com:80/erinchack/times-people-barely-wore-clothes-to-the-vmas something of a tradition]] at the {{Creator/MTV}} Video Music Awards.

* In the ''Series/{{Jessie}}'' episode "Karate Kid-tastrophe", [[http://peytonlist.ru/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Jessie_S04E05_Karate_Kid-tastrophe5B12-05-005D.jpg Emma comes into the kitchen wearing rather inappropriate attire]], complete with her midriff exposed and extremely short shorts. According to her, "Everybody wears this." When Jessie tries to get her to change, she just stays where she is with her arms folded and smirks, as if to say "Make me."

** WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} to an extent though it is pretty warm where she is in 17th century Virginia. In [[WesternAnimation/PocahontasIIJourneyToANewWorld the sequel]], however, she wore a long dress.
** Averted with both WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} and [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]] as well as a majority of the other Disney heroines, however.
** Jane wore a stripperiffic outfit in the ending scene in the WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} movie. As does Tarzan himself throughout the entire film (except for one scene on Clayton's ship.) Mostly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in Tarzan's case for growing up wild in a tropical jungle, though.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'' Chel doesn't wear much, though it's downplayed.

* The outfit worn by Elinore from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wizards}}'' could not cover up any less than it does.

* Being a robot, Jenny from ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' doesn't actually wear clothes, but her design is meant to look like she's wearing a crop top, miniskirt, and boots.

* Spoofed and lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in their parody of ''Film/FantasticVoyage''. Homer, Bart and Lisa all have standard scuba diving suits - while Marge's is a bikini that pushes up her boobs. She complains about hers being more revealing than everyone else's; Homer explains that's what turns a mediocre voyage into a ''fantastic'' voyage. Later on she also suffers ClothingDamage when white blood sells attack her, noting that "at least they know when to stop".

* ''Series/TotalDivas'' actually shows the behind the scenes side of this trope. Wrestling/SummerRae and Wrestling/EvaMarie are frequently at odds with Sandra the seamstress - trying to get their outfits as sexy as possible while still conforming to WWE's PG restraints. Likewise Wrestling/{{Cameron}} wants HotterAndSexier ring gear for Wrestling/TheFunkadactyls - but disaster strikes when she doesn't get Wrestling/{{Naomi}}'s measurements. Naomi then also subverts BuxomBeautyStandard as - while she is naturally well-endowed - she says she frequently has to worry about breasts and ass popping out if she goes too skimpy.

** Characters/{{Emma Frost|WhiteQueen}} also walks around wearing lingerie and sexy dresses a lot. Granted she's a seductress who uses her telepathy to attack - and she can turn into diamond if she wants to defend herself.
** Averted for both [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]] and [[Characters/XMenMutants Moira MacTaggert]] in the final battle. They both wear the same jumpsuits as the others (though Moira's is grey).

* ''{{Wrestling/Wrestlicious}}'' had all of its cast given sexy characters with an appropriately sexy costume to match. Notably Stripperiffic costumes came in the form of [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120303205634/wrestlicious/images/a/a4/Autumn-Frost_PROFILEjpg.jpg Autumn Frost]], [[https://live.staticflickr.com/4096/5444966109_18390a892a_b.jpg Cousin Cassie]], [[http://static.wixstatic.com/media/db8dc6_aae1d32a53aebbcc50b1b05cc5c681e2.jpg/v1/fill/w_360,h_480,al_c,q_90/db8dc6_aae1d32a53aebbcc50b1b05cc5c681e2.jpg Glory]] and [[http://www.diva-dirt.com/wp-content/gallery/felony/001.jpg Felony]].

* Those who thought that people of recent history were uniformly prudish lot should see 18th century women's fashion that was imitated across Europe. Plunging necklines were a major part of the period fashion, and at times it deliberately left one, or even both nipples bare. Compare this to the attitude people had to Janet Jackson's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7e6o1wRCbM wardrobe malfunction]]. Or take a look at representations of Marianne, the spirit of the French Revolution, as she would typify this look. It would not have been too remarkable at the time.

** Averted for both Characters/{{Mystique}} and [[Characters/XMenMutants Moira MacTaggert]] in the final battle. They both wear the same jumpsuits as the others (though Moira's is grey).

* From ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'', Amalia's attire for trekking all over the world consists of a [[FlowersOfNature flower in her hair]], a small top baring her midriff, plus a tiny skirt and leg warmers apparently made of leaves ([[DoesNotLikeShoes with no shoes]]). Granted, most of her people, the Sadida, doesn't wear much (maybe [[PlantPerson they need it for photosynthesis?]]). However, Amalia is otherwise supposed to be a fashion-conscious princess, but [[LimitedWardrobe never keeps new clothes]]. And if that wasn't Stripperiffic, there was an episode where they went shopping. The outfit was covered by the scenery but Eva refers to Amalia's new outfit as "[[TakeOurWordForIt revealing]]".

* ''Film/BatmanReturns'' was also full of this. Characters/{{Catwoman|SelinaKyle}} covers herself up (though her suit is quite form-fitting), but a few of the {{Dark Chick}}s in the Penguin's Red Triangle Gang are running around in skimpy attire - in one case, one of them baring her legs - in a northeastern American city. ''[[ExposedToTheElements In the middle of December]].'' (Worse, the henchmen spend most of their time in an Arctic wildlife exhibit at the Gotham Zoo, which has an air-conditioning unit running to make the atmosphere even ''colder''.) The Ice Princess, meanwhile, at least wears fishnet pantyhose that give her good lower coverage, but her fur-lined top still leaves a lot of skin exposed to the wintry Gotham City air.

Stripperiffic outfits on female characters — at least, young and attractive ones — are common in any genre where straight young men represent (or are assumed to represent) the core of the audience. This can be self-fulfilling, as sexually exploitative wardrobe choices can be a turn-off to potential female fans.

* Creator/StanLee's ''WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}}''. What can be more Stripperiffic than an actual stripper who dresses ''like a stripper'' to fight crime?
