7 | * '''Justified''': |
8 | ** Bob removed his shirt because it was too hot for him to keep it on. |

15 | * '''Gender Inverted:''' Alice takes off ''her'' shirt. |
16 | * '''Subverted''': [[DressHitsFloor A shirt hits the floor]] and Alice gasps… but then there's a full shot of Bob, and we see he's fully clothed. He actually just opened a closet, pulled out a shirt to get a better view--the shirt that hit the floor--and revealed Charles and Dan kissing. [[TenMinutesInTheCloset Alice and Bob had locked them in the closet earlier.]] |
17 | * '''Double Subverted''': …and when they come out, we see Charles ''is'' shirtless. |

27 | * '''Defied''': Bob refuses to take his shirt off for ''anything''. |
28 | * '''Discussed''': ??? |
29 | * '''Conversed''': "Why does ever guy on ''The Trope Show'' take off his shirt once per season? Is it written into the guys' contracts or something?" |
30 | * '''Played For Drama''': Bob's friend Michelle wants to surprise her girlfriend Emily by cleaning their shared apartment while she's at work. Bob agrees to help, but after a few hours of work, he starts overheating and has to take his shirt off to cool down; Michelle suggests they both take a short break and watch some TV. Emily -- who has been cheated on before -- finishes work early, goes home, and walks in on her girlfriend hanging out with an unknown, half-naked man and [[MistakenForCheating assumes the worst]]. |
31 | * '''Deconstructed''': Bob takes off his shirt and soon gets cold. All the characters agree that goosebumps, shivering, and complaining about how cold you are, is ''not'' sexy. |
32 | * '''Reconstructed''': It might not be sexy, but Bob's OneTrueLove doesn't care, and hugs him until he's warm. |
