History Main / WardrobeMalfunction

** Happens again later in the second season to free a nun from magic-restricting clothing. Which then leads to a flashback (from another character) of his hand being used to free other nuns while he was unconscious.

* Whenever [[KeroroGunso Natsumi]] gets hit with the age ray in the manga, she always gets a wardrobe malfunction. Whether reverting back her regular age, and suddenly finding herself topless in front of a crowd of nerdy guys, or losing her ski suit to an explosion, its pretty much a given.

[[AC:{{Comic Books}}]]
* A recent ''Archie Comics'' issue had the girls discover a collection of old-style bathing suits and try them out in the water. The boys didn't really appreciate the cover-everything styles ... until it became clear that the old fabric couldn't stand up to water anymore and disintegrated, leaving Betty, Veronica and the rest ''naked'' in the ocean. Heck, this even happened to ''Mrs. Lodge'' who tried out one of the suits at a pool party.

* The TropeNamer and TropeCodifier is the famous incident when JustinTimberlake inadvertently (?) exposed Janet Jackson's breast at the 2004 SuperBowl.
** At Lycos 50, the list of top 50 weekly search terms of the Lycos search engine, they noted that week that "Nipplegate" generated more searches than 9/11 did in its time. 9/11. They guessed that it's because TV was the main source of news about 9/11, but were still shocked that Americans cared more about a brief look at an aging woman's tits than the horrible deaths of several thousand people.
** That shouldn't be too surprising. 9/11 coverage was going on 24-7 on every channel for a few weeks and even by the time the Super Bowl came around, the news channels at least were still talking about it and people needed something to take their minds off things.

--> Barker: She came on down and they came on out.
* In {{Castle}} the two-parter "Tick Tick Tick..." / "Boom!", part one ends with Beckett getting out of the shower just in time to see the bomb in her apartment before it explodes. Part two starts with Castle breaking into the exploded apartment, and finding Beckett huddled in her bathtub mostly unhurt, but obviously naked. Bonus points: the first two things she asks for to cover up with are on fire. Castle ends up holding out his jacket while desperately trying not to look.

** Rather sweetly, her on-screen presenting partner/off-screen husband Richard Madeley ran out from the sidelines where he had noticed what she had not, and covered her with his jacket whilst she fixed herself. Judy took the incident in reasonably good graces, and joked later that "thank goodness [she] was been wearing an expensive bra."

* This happened to Judy of Richard and Judy, I think at a Bafta award ceremony? I'm not sure.
