** The 1999 Armageddon PPV featured a four corners Evening Gown in a Pool match for the Women's Championship. Miss Kitty found herself in the match and warned that she [[GoingCommando didn't wear underwear]]. So of course she won the match and did a striptease for the crowd afterwards. She went further and removed her bra - resulting in the first time there was actual nudity on a national WWE PPV[[note]]Stacy claims it was supposed to be ToplessnessFromTheBack but a goof in the production room led to the wrong camera going out live.[[/note]]

* Music/KylieMinogue's video to "Put Yourself in My Place". She starts off floating around wearing a spacesuit... It's clearly an homage to the famous opening of ''Barbarella''.
* Music/ArianaGrande's video for "Break Free" has her do a rather brief version of the scene from ''Barbarella'' as well.

* Also deconstructed, to incredibly dark effect, in "She's Pulling Out The Pin", by Music/ElvisCostello, which starts out describing a striptease ("She's pulling out the pin / That lets her hair fall down"), implies a dark relationship scenario in the character's background ("She's slipping off the hook / Unbuttoning her dress / There's just enough to make some man a mess"), drops a sinister hint ("Do you hear something ticking?"), and ultimately suggests that "she" has done something very terrible, and the pin isn't just in her hair and the mess isn't just emotional...

* Sonya of ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' possesses a killer bod, a SeriousBusiness approach to seduction, a musician's sense of rhythm, and a love of the dramatic. Hence, she's perfectly willing to use striptease as a way to achieve results, and does so at least twice -- [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/a_woman_dances once on Gary]] (when seeking to out-compete Yuki) and [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/forget_the_daddy_stuff once on Yuki]] (largely to score a point). Neither scene goes entirely to her plan, but that's not for want of Sonya trying.

* Happens to [[Disney/TheJungleBook Baloo]] in the ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' episode "Vowel Play".

* The dance of the seven veils in ''{{Theatre/Salome}}''. In some productions, it goes all the way to full nudity. The film version has Rita Hayworth (from the ''Gilda'' example above) doing said dance.

* Coriana Andrealphus tries to weaponize this against Issei in ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' so he can't use his [[PowerPerversionPotential signature techniques]] against her during a rating game. This backfires when she attempts to remove her panties before her bra, which according to Issei is SeriousBusiness, and gets eliminated by a Dragon Shot as a result.

* Similar to the movie, ''Series/{{MASH}}'' had Hawkeye and Charles teaming up to prank B.J. after he had pranked them. He's in his bunk, stark naked but in the nurses' quarters. When announcement comes in for incoming wounded, B.J. gets up but uses his blanket to cover himself. But when he goes out the door, he finds the female personnel all ogling him.

* At ''Wrestling/{{ECW}} Hardcore Heaven 96'', June 22, 1996, the ring had been damaged during the "Weapons Match" between Wrestling/TommyDreamer and [[Characters/{{ECW}} Brian Lee]]. In order to give the crew some time to fix it for the Sabu vs. Rob Van Dam match, Wrestling/PaulHeyman sent Wrestling/KimonaWanalaya]], who Wrestling/{{Raven}} had found working ''at'' a strip club where he had a side gig as DJ, up to the stage to do a strip dance wearing only a teddy and a towel. Heyman told her it wouldn't be taped - and then he taped it and released it on the Extreme Warfare Volume 2 VHS tape. She left ECW after that.

* When you visit Votowne a second time in ''{{VideoGame/Anachronox}}'', a reporter wants to schedule an interview with you, complete with a photoshoot. If the active member is Stiletto, he'll point out that he wants her to wear her beret for the shoot... and ''only'' her beret. If you have an other character active, the line is changed to include some other item that person wears, such as Sly's trenchcoat or Paco's cape.

* Male stripping is invoked a couple of times in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series. A wizard's costume is his robes and his pointy hat. Various wizards (always and exclusively male, with one exception in ''Discworld/EqualRites'' who's never heard from again after that book) seem to feel that in very pressing circumstances the robes may be optional, but the hat ''never''. In a bit of a lampshading, it's pointed out that they don't have to wear the hat on their ''heads'', necessarily. This is usually used humorously, as the wizards are ''not'' the kind of people you'd want to see wearing only hats.

* In the notorious faux-Victorian porno-chic novel A Man With A Maid, Alice appears in Jack (The Narrator)'s flat wearing just shoes, stockings and "her large picture hat, a most coquettishly indecent object!"(as Jack describes it).

* Similar to the movie, ''Series/{{MASH}}'' had Hawkeye and Charles teaming up to prank B.J. after he had pranked them. He's in his bunk, stark naked but in the nurses' quarters. When announcement comes in for incoming wounded, B.J. gets up but uses his blanket to cover himself. But when he goes out the door, he finds the female personnel all ogling him.

* Implied in a ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' adaptation of "The Elves and the Shoemaker", as the elves make a pair of women's shoes dance around on a stage that strip to a different pair of shoes amid catcalls and whistles from the audience.

* At ''Wrestling/{{ECW}} Hardcore Heaven 96'', June 22, 1996, the ring had been damaged during the "Weapons Match" between Wrestling/TommyDreamer and [[Characters/{{ECW}} Brian Lee]]. In order to give the crew some time to fix it for the Sabu vs. Rob Van Dam match, Wrestling/PaulHeyman sent [[Characters/{{ECW}} Kimona Wanalaya]], who Wrestling/{{Raven}} had found working ''at'' a strip club where he had a side gig as DJ, up to the stage to do a strip dance wearing only a teddy and a towel. Heyman told her it wouldn't be taped - and then he taped it and released it on the Extreme Warfare Volume 2 VHS tape. She left ECW after that.

* ''WesternAnimation/SuicideSquadHellToPlay'': After learning that Steel Maxum is a stripper, the Squad goes searching for him in a male strip club, much to Harley's obvious delight. She immediately volunteers to search backstage.

* Wrestling/JeffJarrett lost a match and as a result, his valet [[Characters/WWEDivas Debra]] had to strip. She was initially embarrassed but got into the groove and started to enjoy it.
