Fakir prefers the non-verbal approach.

"You are at Buckingham Palace — the very heart of the British nation. Sherlock Holmes, put your trousers on!"
Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock, "A Scandal in Belgravia"

When a character sees another character while they're naked, a common reaction is to stare briefly, become flustered and turn around, followed by asking (and sometimes demanding) that the naked character... get dressed. They may even go so far as to give the naked person their own clothing or help them find or improvise something if they have no clothes. This is the usual reaction an unattractive naked person will get, but this may happen even if the naked person is a Head-Turning Beauty, with the request usually coming from a chaste or upstanding person, but it can even happen if they are generally of low morals, who you'd think would gleefully use the opportunity to closely inspect the ''au naturel'' specimen. Even a Lovable Sex Maniac can request this if they Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest.

This is common in stories where the naked character in question has: no idea about the nudity taboo and find themselves in real-life human culture, is simply indifferent to their nudity or might find be interacting with a culture or species that has an entirely different concept of nudity and modesty. It can also happen when the character is The Vamp or a Heroic Seductress who tries to work their wiles on someone who just isn't interested or has other priorities. In that case, attempts at a Striptease or Sexy Coat Flashing will end with them being rebuffed by being told to get dressed.

The most common variation is a man walking in on a naked woman for some reason, but a woman may also walk in on a man, or the two characters may be of the same sex. If the gender-bent version is again reversed, as a man *walking around* naked, he is more likely to be hit by the woman (which is usually portrayed as being a justifiable, even funny reaction for the woman). When the trope is used between two people of the same sex, the results may range from hilarity, awkwardness and more rarely disgust, usually in cases of Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today? or when the... position in which the naked person is seen is... er... not socially appropriate.

Note that this also could be a survival reflex: walking in on a naked Megaton-Punch happy woman is very dangerous. Giving clothes (i.e., making clear that perversion's not the goal) can dampen the danger.

Usually used to ramp up the comedy, sexual tension or both. Sometimes the character, rather than being fully nude, is merely wearing something very Stripperific or provocative such as underwear, lingerie or swimwear.

Truth in Television, to a degree; most men will agree that ogling a naked woman is hardly unpleasant, but it's bound to be immensely awkward when it's someone you know (and will have to interact with later) socially, as well as impolite, disrespectful and creepy. As for women, the reasons are the same, just with the genders in reverse.

Contrast with Shameful Strip for when a character forces another to strip, Take Off Your Clothes for when a character asks another to strip for non-sexual reasons, Underdressed for the Occasion for wearing inappropriately casual clothes for a social event, Undressing the Unconscious for when a character has a need to take off the clothes of someone who is unconscious and You Must Be Cold for when a character offers clothes for someone who is Exposed to the Elements. See Naked Freak-Out for when the person caught in the nude is the one who overreacts.

A true Chivalrous Pervert indeed!
  • In both the original manga and OVA versions of Birdy the Mighty, Tsutomu asks this of Birdy when she leaps directly from the bathtub to and out of his house when she decides to confront a nearby alien.

Yoruichi is noted to be a Shameless Fanservice Girl who's always been The Tease and she starts to flaunt herself in front of him just to annoy him ever since, with him always having similar reactions.

      • Later on in the series, a minor fight with one of the Big Bads results in Goku's clothes getting blasted off. The villain even waits around and lets Goku get dressed again, despite the fact that he could have made a very tempting target with his "pants down", so to speak.
  • In “Dragon’s Heaven” at one point Shaian the battle robot approaches Ikuuru while she’s taking a bath, he tells her that he visited a town and the villagers gave him some tenshi amakuri, a Japanese delicacy. She approaches him and asks if she can have some, then she notices he’s covering his eye shield, she asks what’s wrong, and he replies that she should put some clothes on.
  • In Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, when Dai, Popp, and Leona go to the department store in the kingdom of Bengarna in search of better equipment for Dai, Leona tries on some alternate outfits for herself, the first of which elicits this kind of response from Popp, as the "outfit" in question is just bra and underpants.note 
    Popp: WHAT KIND OF SAGE DRESSES LIKE THAT!!? GET SOMETHING MORE SIMPLE!!
    Leona: But... it's so easy to move in...

  • Renton gave naked Eureka his jacket in the Eureka Seven movie ending, though he didn't do it immediately and was not fazed by her nakedness. This deed is done off-screen as well.
  • Fairy Tail:
    • Happens a lot with Gray Fullbuster, due to his unconscious stripping habit. It will usually be Lucy, Cana, or Mirajane ordering him to get dressed. Lyon also often orders him to put a shirt on, despite being a Walking Shirtless Scene himself.
    • Becomes extra humorous with his Edolas counterpart, who is an inversion of this trope in that he wears so many clothes that people keep telling him to take some of it off. When both Grays meet, they tell each other what everybody tells them.
    • Also occurs repeatedly to Lucy, especially when Gray and Lucy switch bodies in one episode.
    • In special manga chapter 416.5, Erza calls Natsu to come heat the woman's bath. Natsu, being a Shameless Fanservice Guy, casually walks into the bath completely naked to the shock and embarrassment of most of the women present and doesn't seem to care about his own nudity. Near the end of the chapter Lucy demands Natsu put on some clothes, despite the fact she is also naked.
    • The assassin Jacob Lessio seems to think that looking at a woman while she's indecent is a tremendous sinful act and refuses to do it, usually closing his eye and looking away while demanding them to clothe themselves. This cost him a fight with both Mirajaine and Natsu who use this trait against him.
  • Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: After meeting Child Gilgamesh and accidentally squeezing his crotch a few times, Illya and Miyu hide and ask him to cover himself out of shame. His response?
  • Used all the time in Fruits Basket, thanks to the fact that they're naked when they transform back into human — in particular, Kyo telling Kagura to put on some clothes springs to mind. Well, poor Kyo is socially awkward enough, even without a naked chick clinging to him.
  • Gunslinger Girl. Cyborg girl Petra and her handler Sandro have to jump into the water to avoid getting shot during the Venice belltower siege. When they climb out of the canal, Sandro has this reaction to his cyborg's Sexy Soaked Shirt. She calls him on the fact that he'd earlier claimed to be Not Distracted by the Sexy because he'd already seen her Naked on Arrival.
  • In Grand Blue Aina constantly begs the male characters to put clothes on, usually to no avail.
  • A Yuri Genre version: In Hanjuku Joshi, Chitose has a habit of holding conversations while in the middle of changing clothes, so her Love Interest Yae finds herself saying this a lot.
  • Oomura Takeshi from Happy World! meets an angel named Elle like this. Despite being a total and absolute Jerkass in everything else, other than turning his head and blushing, he rather effectively helps her get some clothing. A rare thing in anime, where most people in this situation stammer to indicate their innocence, but don't do anything to change the situation.
  • Although he never actually says the line, Hayate of Hayate the Combat Butler often gets into these situations. Usually the girl herself is the one to demand clothes. There's the event between him and Ayumu, where, while she's trying to put her clothes on she tries to justify her appearance.
  • Hetalia: Axis Powers:
    • Straight Man Germany has Innocent Fanservice Guy Italy as his partner. Logically, Germany ends up invoking this trope often.
    • In the published manga, a teenaged Prussia gets to see a young Hungary with her tunic ripped. She's not really bothered, but he blushes intensely and then throws his cape at her so she can cover herself.
    • And in the Hetalia Bloodbath 2010, Hong Kong gets told this by an horrified China when he takes off a meido outfit and ends up naked. He settles for a white apron.
    • In Episode 35, France seems uninterested in the ancient Olympics until Greece explains men competed in the nude. Cue to France insisting the Olympic tradition should be revived, complete with him stripping down to nothing but a fig leaf. England arrives for the games and begins protesting France's shamelessness ("YOU FORGOT TO CLOTHE YOURSELF!"), especially when France tries to take England's clothes off for him.
      France: Take your clothes off or I will take them off for you!
      England: UNHAND ME RIGHT NOW!
    • Japan has this once, while adjusting to Western society.
      Japan: That kind of nudity is unacceptable! It dishonors the ghost of your ancestor!
      Italy: Aw... but I'm hot and I'm Italian and the chicks dig it! Why don't you get naked?
      Japan: I couldn't possibly show a strange man my loincloth! I'm begging you to please put some clothes on!
    • An early Running Gag in the manga was that not only does Italy Sleeps in the Nude, but he would also has the occasional tendency to forget to put pants on when he wakes up, prompting whoever met him to demand he put some clothes on.
  • In in the Higurashi spin-off series Higurashi Kira, episode 4, Mion yells this when Rena does her signature "Omochikaeri"... when all of the girls are in a hot spring.
  • in How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?, this is the usual response people have when they first see Machio rip his track suit off via simply flexing. He does it often enough that they quickly stop commenting on it, however.
  • I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job: When Fino knocks herself out via a strong water blast from a humidifier, Raul hurries to take off her wet clothes while she's still unconscious, since at that point he still thought she was a guy and he didn't want her to get a cold. He notices he's actually a girl as soon as he unzips her shirt to reveal she had a Hidden Buxom and she wakes up soon after and has a Naked Freak-Out while he turns around in embarrassment and tells her to put her clothes back on.
  • In Ikki Tousen, Koukin says this when Hakufu comes out of the bath and walks in on him wearing nothing but a bath towel (that slips off when she raises her arms in a fit of joy).
  • In Another World with My Smartphone: The pieces of Babylon typically have Secret Test of Character for Touya, usually with a perverted twist. One has Francesca approach him with no skirt or panties and to try to entice him. If he had tried to assault her, she would have kicked him off the island. If he had pretended not to notice, she would have politely asked him to leave. But, since he was clearly interested, but asked her to cover herself anyway, she concludes that he's worthy of owning both the island... and her.
  • Inuyasha:
    • A particularly funny example when Kagome awakens to find the villain put her in a bathtub and Inuyasha comes running in to rescue her. She stands up and they both stare at each other for a split second before both turn away (one screaming) with blushes on their faces. Inuyasha then insists she wears his haori, which she manages quite well and wears for the rest of the episode.
    • Also in the last episode before "The Final Act", when Kagura is pulled out of a stream by Sesshomaru, thanks to the magnitude of Clothing Damage she received, she is naked from the waist up. When she takes her leave, Jaken makes his feelings about this abundantly clear, yelling at her to "Put on your clothes!!"
  • Tohma of Magical Chronicles Lyrical Nanoha Force, who after rescuing the bound Lily, suddenly realized that he's holding a naked girl in his arms.
    Tohma: Clothing! Clothing!! Steed, find something!!
  • K: Since Neko has both a cat and a human form and she spends most of her time as a cat, she doesn't like (or possess) clothes and even sleeps naked in Yashiro's bed. Yashiro spends much of Episode 2 trying to convince her to at least wear his jacket.
  • Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: Kajima's flustered by walking in on a naked Shigure, and reacts in the classic style: yelping, blushing, turning his back—all while apologizing profusely—and ultimately presenting his own fur-collared vest for the sake of modesty.
  • Kiss of the Rose Princess: Shirtless Scene: In the aftermath of the Haruto arc, Anis summons Kaede right after he's taken a shower, so he appears on her veranda shirtless, causing her to give him her hoodie.
  • Kuroko's Basketball: Alexandra seems to not care at all about guys seeing her walking around her home (OK, it's Kagami's apartment, but she seems to treat it as home anyway) in her underwear or even practically naked, not even complete strangers like Kagami's Seirin teammates the first time they met her. Kagami actually has to yell at her to wear clothes, usually punctuated by him throwing said clothes at her.
  • In Lord Marksman and Vanadis, when Tigre accidentally walks in on Ludmila bathing, he discovers she keeps her Ancestral Weapon Lavias with her at all times and finds her pointing it at his neck in no time. But he's actually more worried over her coming out of the water naked and asks her if it's not a better idea to put some clothes on, but she scoffs at the idea, since she finds no shame in being seen naked by someone she considers to be lower than an animal and then smacks him with Lavias's shaft.
  • As Miss Beelzebub Likes: Mullin is upset at Beel for oversleeping and barges into her room, only to find out she Sleeps in the Nude, with only some strategically placed Gossamers and her hair preserving her modesty. She doesn't mind it that much but he's mortified.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: After Hanging Our Clothes to Dry (except they are only hers), Cagalli is left in a tank top, her underpants, and a blanket, the last of which she drops when trying to steal Athrun Zala's gun to take his mobile suit. After a lot of strain, breaking into tears, and finally tossing the safety-off gun away and grazing Athrun, she insists on patching him up. Cue trope from Athrun, at which point Cagalli finally realizes what she isn't wearing. She's mortified.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Continuing Athrun's adventures with this, Meyrin Hawke Invokes this as part of an Indy Ploy to keep the ZAFT soldiers pursuing the runaway Athrun from looking inside her room and finding him. She answers them in a Modesty Towel, pretending they interrupted her shower and claims they can't come inside since she's naked. Sure enough, they tell her to get dressed and go check the next room. And she wasn't even naked under the towel! She just got her hair wet and wrapped the towel over her strapless bra and underpants. True to form, when she almost immediately drops to the ground afterwards from the strain, Athrun gently puts a thick robe over her shoulders to cover her back up.
  • In My Hero Academia, during the Provisional Hero License exam, Midoriya is attacked by a girl with a shape-shifting Quirk, first disguising as Uraraka. When she transforms into a different shape, the quirk dissolves her clothes, leaving her naked barring some slime streaks covering her naughty bits, so of course Midoriya's first reaction is demanding that she puts on something.
  • Nectar of Dharani: Due to dwarven culture, the only nudity taboo that recognizes is showing her face to anyone who is not a family member, either by blood or marriage. As such, she sees nothing wrong with exposing the rest of her body, regardless of time or place. More than often Ligia begs her to put her clothes back on.
  • Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
  • One Piece:
    • Paulie generally disapproves of revealing clothing and tells every woman he meets that he thinks they're wearing too little. He also flips out when Nami changes clothes right in front of everyone (she had no private place available).
    • Then there is a male example when Franky goes rampaging through town without his trademark speedos... because they'd been stolen and he is chasing them. Many in town yell the trope.
    • During the Punk Hazard arc, Law performs a "Freaky Friday" Flip on Smoker and Tashigi. Smoker, in according with his fashion style, keeps his (or rather, Tashigi's) shirt wide open, exposing their chest. Tashigi (who is very reserved and proper and thus keeps her shirt closed) is horrified and demands that Smoker cover the goods up.
  • Ouran High School Host Club's Tamaki is a bit old-fashioned. At a trip to an (indoor) pool, Haruhi walks out of the changing room in a one-piece swimsuit. He turns red and quickly hands her some shorts and a shirt to wear over it as he tells her she shouldn't be showing that much skin. The author, Bisco Hatori, admits that she herself is a bit old-fashioned like Tamaki and decided against having Haruhi in just a swimsuit with six shirtless boys around.
  • Patlabor: Episode 4 of the original OAV ("The Tragedy of L") has a scene where most of the SV2 members are in a communal bath, when the water on the men's side suddenly turns red and they all Freak Out thinking it turned into blood. Everyone on that side screams, to which Kanuka Clancy responded by picking up the gun she left in a nearby bucket, jumping out of the bath, and running over to the men's side without bothering to put on any clothes. When she arrives she points a gun through the doorway, but keeps most of her body still hidden by the screening door, only showing her Sexy Silhouette. Noa is still scandalized by this behavior and rushes to her with a Modesty Towel for Kanuka to cover herself with.
  • The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: Idiot Savant Mashiro is an Innocent Fanservice Girl, obviously, and her Cloudcuckoolander's Minder Sorata has many chances to say the line making this trope.
  • Pokémon Adventures: Ruby modified a change of clothes to replace the grass skirt and top Sapphire had been using after he learned she saved his ass from the Mightyena he agitated. She didn't give a hoot about the clothes, but she tried them on after some thoughtful words in the letter opened her eyes. Later, Ruby tries to walk out on the current crisis and claim it's not his problem, and those sentiments from earlier bite him in the ass. Hard.
    Ruby's Letter: There's something I have to tell you. First: you should wear clothes. So, in gratitude for saving me, I've altered my own clothes to fit you. Wear them!! They'll look great on you!!
    Sapphire: [after Ruby's mismanagement] Even though... we're always gettin' into fights... I always thought... deep down you were nice. Do you remember what you wrote on that note you left me me? [shoves the letter in his face] That's why I decided to wear your clothes, even though I thought they were too fancy for me. That last line made me so happy. No one ever said anythin' like that to me before! But... there's no point now! You're a really skilled trainer, but you're wastin' your talent! Ya don't even try to make good use of it. [...] Why do ya think we train?! It's so we can help others, ain't it?! Don't you ever show yer face around me again!!
  • Princess Jellyfish: Tsukimi says this to Kuranosuke when he wanders around in just his boxers.
  • Princess Tutu:
    • Pictured above: Ahiru is originally a duck, and when she transforms between human and duck, the clothes will fall around her, needing to be dragged around and re-put on after her back-to-human transformations. In the above picture, Fakir gets intensely freaked out when the oblivious Ahiru starts yelling at him before having gotten around to dressing herself. Hilarity Ensues. After the aforementioned picture, she submerges herself in water and they continue arguing, with him looking away. At a particularly heated point in the debate, she jumps up, and he screams, "Don't stand!" and literally throws her clothes at her, knocking her over with them. It's less of him being prudish and more that she is a 13-year-old acquaintance and the most of a naked person he's probably seen is Mytho. It's pretty natural that her being stark naked without warning as she's yelling at him would be uncomfortable.
    • This continues on in season 2, as Uzura has the unfortunate tendency to trigger Ahiru's transformation while Fakir's right there to see it all. He seems to cope with this by spontaneously developing a fascination with blank walls whenever it occurs. However he's not above diving around the corner of buildings, either.
  • Ranma ½:
    • Akane does this to female-Ranma in a battle early on: the opponent, Mousse, is convinced that Ranma's female form is a disguise meant to humiliate him, so he rips away Ranma's (already scant) clothing (a Playboy Bunny suit). He rips everything to shreds but a teeny-tiny strip of cloth covering her crotch and bottom — and when that goes away, Akane hastily jams Ranma inside a more durable pair of pants and a tank top.
    • And again, when Ranma abandons her clothes so Herb attacks a log instead, the latter turns away in embarrassment and tosses Ranma her kimono, refusing to fight until she's fully-dressed again. Since Herb is a woman, it provides a vital clue to Ranma regarding Herb's condition.
    • Then there's this quote from the end of the very same storyline, when Akane finds Ranma in a hot bath so he can live up to his promise:
      Ranma: I just wanted you to see me come back as a man again, like I promised.
      Akane: Okay! I can see! Now put some clothes on, jerk!
    • Happens in a unique episode in the anime (though the one from the first Mousse battle is removed). Ryōga and Mousse team up to try and get rid of Ranma. At one point, Ranma, having been turned into a girl at the start of the battle on the basis that his physical strength is decreased in that form, gets pinned to a tree by her shirt, rapidly slipping out of it to avoid a skullsplitter of a punch from Ryōga. Ryōga, who suffers Nosebleeds when he sees naked women, turns around blushing bright red, practically panicking, and throws Ranma her shirt, begging her to put it back on. Note that this is a unique Filler-only occurrence, as Ryōga is generally immune to Ranma's nudity in the original manga and throughout most of the anime itself. Gender and Clothing Damage are irrelevant in the middle of a fight.
    • Another example includes the time when Ranma's Living Shadow peeped in on Akane in the bath. She is not pleased and chases after him in a towel. Coincidentally, Ranma happens to be walking down the hall after a good nap right when Akane turns the corner. Unaware that he wasn't the one spying on her, she dishes out a slap, but not before he utters:
      Ranma: A-Akane! C-Cover yourself up!
    • Another episode of the anime has, quite surprisingly, Happōsai himself telling a swimsuit-wearing female Ranma to put some clothes on, or else she could catch a cold — instead of, say, jumping her and groping the exposed female flesh as you'd expect. This is a big hint that something is very wrong with the resident Dirty Old Man.
    • In the manga, after the Tendōs come home and Nabiki tricks Ranma into thinking she's naked, he tells her to put some clothes on. She agrees, but for a price.
  • Re:Zero: In episode 5, Rem tells this to Subaru while offering him a towel after she sees him naked, although she is very brutal about her choice of words.
    Ram: Cover up that sorry thing.
  • In Saint Seiya Lizard Misty thinks he has just killed Seiya but, seeing he got some blood on him, strips naked and takes a bath in the nearby sea to wash it. Seiya, however, is still alive, and when he comes up tells him to get his Cloth back on... and Misty, being himself, takes a while because he knows Seiya is too weirded out to attack until he is dressed again — also cluing Seiya on the fact water would have ruined Misty's defensive technique, as otherwise he'd have attacked while he was weirded out by his nakedness and, having been trained in the same place, Seiya knew it.
  • In The Secret Agreement, Yuuichi has trouble getting Iori to put on clothes again after he's taken them off and basically has to dress him himself. He is half-frustrated, half-bemused that Iori just doesn't get why.
  • In Sgt. Frog, after Natsumi is scared out of the bathtub by what eventually turns out to be a ghost, she runs into Fuyuki's room without any clothes. Fuyuki yells at her to put some clothes on and calm down.
  • Carrot is constantly begging this of Chocolat in Sorcerer Hunters. In fact, it's one of their first exchanges in the manga. It helps to understand Carrot's discomfort when you realize in the manga, the only things that keeps Chocolat decent up top are her suspenders. The OVA preserves the Stripperific costume but the TV series had to alter the outfit for the sake of decency.
  • Strike the Blood: In episode 21, Asagi gets possessed by Nina Adelard while she was showering. Nina just steps out of the bathroom without bothering getting dressed and walks up to Kojou to asks for his help as if nothing is unusual. He's too busy gaping at Asagi's body to answer until he eventually gets a Nosebleed and turns around mortified, telling her to put some clothes on. She complies by magically generating some clothes for her, if only so he will stop getting Distracted by the Sexy.
  • In Tales of Zestiria and the associated anime Tales of Zestiria The X, the seraph Zaveid's default clothing state is shirtless. The anime features a comic On the Next sequence, in which Alisha, not realizing this, thinks he's a had a really hard life, among other things that somebody stole his clothes. She begs him to put on a shirt she got for him, ignoring his protestations that he hasn't had a hard life and this is how he always dresses.
  • Niche, from Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, doesn't usually wear underwear, and only ever wears a short pink dress. Cue Lag Seeing constantly yelling at her to PUT SOME UNDERWEAR ON. She eventually takes to wearing a pair of boxers given by Lag. In a later volume, she inverts the trope in spite of Lag's protests (because she's trying to fool a blind person who tracks by smell).

  • To Love Ru has Rito saying this to Lala whenever she wanders around his house naked. Which is a lot.
  • Toradora!: During a vacation Beach Episode, Kitamura walks in on his friends just after taking a shower, holding nothing but a towel in front of his crotch.

Turns out he didn't even realize, and his apology reaction makes him drop the towel.
  • Urusei Yatsura, in one of the first episodes, Lum crawls into Ataru's futon and calls him to come to bed, even waving her Fur Bikini in the air to prove to him that, yes, she is naked under the covers and perfectly ready to have the wedding night. Ataru refuses and tells her to put her clothes back on.
  • Vermeil in Gold: When Alto unseals Vermeil from the summoning book, she appears completely naked, and after forming a magical contract and making her his familiar, she seductively says that she'll do anything he asks of her. A flustered Alto asks her to please get dressed.
  • Used in Wandaba Style's second episode, with Innocent Fanservice Satellite Girl Kiku#8, who recently had her clothes burned off by reentering Earth's atmosphere. While she explains herself to the girls of Mix Juice, their manager maneuvers to keep her body off-camera (with his afro) until one of the girls asks her to put on some clothes. She responds that her skin is actually solar cells for her battery and she's just recharging. She mysteriously has clothes on before the end of the scene, though.
  • In a rather interesting variant Haruka of White Album tries seducing male lead Touji while naked, he offers this line. She then puts some clothes on. But they end up having sex anyway.
  • Yona of the Dawn: After briefly reuniting with Soo-Won unexpectedly, Yona was in such a daze that after she spilled some porridge on herself she started unbuttoning her outer shirt in front of everyone. Hak was quick enough to cover her with his jacket... and charge the "audience" viewing fees.
  • Zoids: Chaotic Century: In Episode 8, there's a scene (deleted from the English release) where Moonbay and Fiine are taking a shower together. Moonbay asks Fiine that she goes to tell Van and Irvine they'll all go shopping later, so she does that... without bothering to get dressed. She opens the room's door right when Van is passing through, causing him to turn red and demand that she puts her clothes back on, Fiine for her part is completely clueless as to why he's so flustered.

    Raven: You're something wrapped in something all right.
  • Played with in Disney's Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World, when Pocahontas, dressed in neck-to-ankle Jacobean underwear, comes out of her room to model her "English clothes" for her Love Interest-of-the-moment John Rolfe. He is mortified at seeing a lady in such an embarrassing state of undress even though the underwear is actually far less revealing than her regular outfit. Note that John Rolfe had only seen her in her winter outfit, which while form-fitting, covered everything. Even came with a shawl. The iconic outfit she wore in the first movie was her summer outfit.
  • In Shrek the Third, Donkey has this reaction when pulling the covers off of Shrek at the beginning, as he finds out he Sleeps in the Nude.

Natalie tells her she has to cover up because most of the girls in the house haven't seen their own bodies and seeing Shelley naked may be too much of a shock. She refuses and goes a step further by dropping the towel. Cue a horrified Reaction Shot from the girls (The audience only sees her Toplessness from the Back or Shoulders-Up Nudity).

    Trent: Well, I don't want you to.

  • Inverted in the 1987 Belgian short film Pointe de Fuite: a young woman teacher enters the classroom to find that all her students have stripped naked and are staring at her. She pretends this is normal and starts teaching, but then one of the boys gets up, walks to the blackboard and writes "FAITES COMMES NOUS" on it (literally, "Do like us", meaning "Do as we do", not "Please like us"), then sits down again. She thinks about this for a moment, then duly takes off all her clothes and goes back to teaching, drawing on the board with her back to the class while naked. In the meantime, the students all get dressed again. Then there's a knock on the classroom door, and as one, the students say "Come in", and the teacher stares at the door in alarm as the door is opened... the end.
  • John Woo's Red Cliff has a room of veteran Chinese warriors turning away in embarrassment at the sight of Sun Shangxiang undressing, but because she's doing to reveal the map of the enemy camp she drew while undercover and kept hidden under her clothing, it's okay. She remains undressed as she begins pointing out sites of interest, until one of them finally comes up and drapes a robe over her.
  • In The Spirit, the hero busts in on Sand Seraf after she just got out of the shower and tells her to put her hands up.

Embarrassed, he turns around and says "Okay, put on a robe or something, but no tricks!"
  • In the film Split Infinity, Amelia is told by the principal in 1929 to wear clothes. Of course, she isn't naked, but in her great aunt's long johns, which, to a 14-year-old girl in 1992 America, might seem to be regular clothing, given a few accessories.
  • Star Wars:
    • In The Phantom Menace, this is R2-D2's reaction when he first meets the unfinished C-3PO at the Skywalker residence on Tatooine.
      C-3PO: I beg your pardon? What do you mean "naked"?
      [R2 points out what he means]
      C-3PO: My parts are showing!? My goodness, OH!
    • In The Last Jedi, Kylo Ren and Rey discover they can communicate telepathically, and can see each other when they do this. At one point, a conversation trails off when Rey gets embarrassed because Ren is shirtless, and she asks him to cover up.
  • Subverted in the Star Trek porn parodies when Captain Quirk (who's entirely willing to help women out of their clothes) has the opposite reaction when he sees porn star Ron Jeremy without his shirt. "My God! Put some clothes on that man!"
  • Toni Erdmann: Ines decides that her birthday party will be a "naked party" (It Makes Sense in Context, sort of). When Ines's American friend Steph shows up for the birthday party and finds Ines wearing nothing but a pair of pantyhose, she says, as gently as possible, "Do you want me to help you choose something?". Then when the doorbell rings again she suggests that she can get the doorbell while Ines gets dressed. When Ines says no, this is a naked party, Steph leaves.
  • In Trading Places, a huge party is thrown at Billy Ray Valentine's mansion (formerly Lewis Winthorp's), with all the people he knew from his former life as a hustler and general crook. One such female acquaintance surprises him in his bedroom, naked. A sign of how much he's changed, he tells her to get her clothes on and leave before subsequently shutting down the rest of the party.
  • In Underworld, Lucien orders two of his minions to, "Put some clothes on, will you?" The minions in question had been having an all-out werewolf brawl, with everyone else egging them on, and this caps off Lucien chastising everyone for "acting like a pack of rabid DOGS!"
  • The Vow: After Paige sees Leo sans clothing en route to the bathroom, she's mortified and demands he clothe himself. Made more awkward since she's his Amnesiac Lover.
  • What's the Worst That Could Happen?: When Max is holding a burglar gunpoint, Trace gets out of the bath to see what is happening. Max tells her in disbelief to go and put some clothes on.
  • Spoken verbatim in X-Men: First Class by Charles Xavier when a newly self-confident Mystique walks in on him while she's entirely naked. Amusing, given that this is the first time the character's constant nudity has been alluded to in the series. (The irony being that Mystique is almost always nude, as it's shown that any "clothing" she might be seen wearing is simply part of her shape-shifting disguise, including possibly the X-Men uniform seen in the final act as it disappears when she briefly impersonates Shaw.)

    Literature 
  • In Animorphs, when they first meet Ax, he morphs human and they quickly realize that he's naked (as he was in Andalite form). After confirming that he's turning into a naked male, Cassie and Rachel look away while Jake and Marco help him put clothes on.
  • The Belgariad: Relg is outraged by Taiba's nakedness when they first meet, even when she points out that she doesn't have any other clothes — and that she's not ashamed of her body, so she really has no reason to want more clothes.
  • The Big Sleep: Carmen comes on to Marlowe (by turning up naked in his bed) and he turns he down while telling her to get dressed. She's not pleased.
  • In James Blish's Cities in Flight, Mayor Amalfi says it almost verbatim to Dee Hazleton when she's washing the Hevian women:
    Amalfi: Dee, come to Astronomy with me. I've got something to show you. And for my sake, put on something, or the men will think I'm out to found a dynasty.
  • Chronicles of the Kencyrath: In Dark of the Moon, The Heroine Jame escapes the bad guys stark naked and comes across Graykin and then Lyra in the empty palace of Karkinaroth. The scene is played for laughs with Jame being nonchalant about her nudity while the others are bothered by it; even more so because what bothers Lyra the most is that Jame, who she recognizes immediately as a full-blooded Highborn woman, is not wearing a mask as custom dictates which she demands Jame to put on. This ends up in a scene with Jame sitting down to talk and eat with them wearing a mask, but otherwise still completely naked.
  • Discworld:
    • In Mort, the title character gets this from Ysabell when he starts to climb out of bed, unaware that she undressed him before putting him in (but says that she looked away). Related is Mort's earlier comment to Ysabell, when she tried an Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: "And for heaven's sake, put on something sensible, you're overflowing."
    • As one might expect for a comedy trope, variations of this are rather common on the Discworld. Wizards in particular seem to be prone to losing their robes and having to have the problem pointed out to them by others (they take the view that a wizard is dressed as long as he's wearing his pointy hat).
    • Werewolves are also affected, a notable instance being Serafina chiding Guye for not only transforming from wolf to human shape without remedying the consequent clothing deficiency, but also then engaging in... certain behaviors which are far less publicly acceptable for a male human than a male dog.
  • The Styric Gods in David Eddings' The Elenium and The Tamuli trilogies apparently don't see the point about clothes when in their true forms. This is particularly true with Aphrael, whose true form is a tall, beautiful, and nude young lady. When Sparhawk sees her true form, he invokes the trope: out of propriety and a little fatherly instinct (by the end of the Elenium he becomes father to her latest incarnation).
  • Used interestingly in Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. When someone crosses the bridge that joins the past and present, they will only have clothing if they have already been there. When Ivan crosses for the first time, he is mortified to be naked, especially in front of Katerina. However, while Katerina's culture has no taboo against nudity, there is a strong taboo against cross-dressing, so she is extremely resistant to giving him anything of hers to use to cover up. When they cross to the present and Katerina is the one who winds up naked, Ivan begs her to wear his shirt, and has to convince her that in his culture, it's perfectly all right for her to be wearing his shirt, and far, far worse for him to walk out of the woods with a completely naked girl.
  • Escape from Furnace: Hilariously between Zee and Alex, with Zee stating that Alex, with his worn out, ragged, ill-fitting prison outfit, is looking "practically indecent".
  • Fate/strange Fake: Flat Escardos summons Jack the Ripper as a Berserker Servant. In this story, Jack is a shapeshifter with no set form or gender. At one point, Jack absentmindedly changes into the form of the Jack The Ripper from Fate/Apocrypha, who was a little girl in a Stripperific outfit. Horrified, Flat covers Jack with a blanket and orders Jack to put some clothes on or change to another form before someone sees them and calls the cops.
  • Averted in Alan Dean Foster's Flinx in Flux. When Charity cleans up, Flinx notices she doesn't reactivate the holographic door, and doesn't mention it, nor does she jump when she notices him watching.
  • Hive Mind (2016):
    • In Telepath, Lucas knocks on Amber's door, and since she's still sleepy accidentally tells him to come in causing him to accidentally find out she Sleeps in the Nude. He immediately goes back outside and tells her to get put some clothes on first. He teases her about the incident occasionally.
    • In Borderline Keith tries to shock Amber when she first calls him by answering in the nude. It doesn't work, because she spends her time reading the minds of teenage males, so male nudity is far from shocking to her.
  • The Hunger Games: Katniss is flustered by people's nudity on several occasions. Johanna knows this and strips off in an elevator whilst chatting with Katniss and Peeta, and again during training, even oiling her body for a wrestling lesson. Peeta finds it amusing. Katniss... not so much.
  • The Institute: Luke always sleeps in his undies. When he wakes up one morning and finds that Avery (who sleeps with him almost every night) is gone, he runs to Averys' room to check if the boy is still in front half, but forgets to dress first. Winona, one of the housekeepers, catches him in the act and orders him to get dressed.
    Winona: Put on some clothes, young man. I'm not interested in seeing any male in his undies unless he's at least twenty-two and buffed out.
  • Journey to Chaos:
    • This is generally the case with recovered victims of mana mutation. The monsanity (i.e. mentality of a monster) of the victim removes any nudity taboo they might have had and causes them to think clothes are something to eat.
    • Averted in Looming Shadow, where Kallen has a lengthy discussion with post-mana mutation Eric before telling him to get dressed. Ostensibly, this was for research into the mindset of mana-born demons but you never know...
    • Played straight in Mana Mutation Menace with Tiza and post mana-mutation Nolien. She tosses him a labcoat from a nearby scientist to cover up and then has to insist he put it on because he doesn't see the point.
  • Judge Dee and his lieutenants often find themselves saying this as at least one naked girl seems to show up per mystery. The Judge usually takes this pretty coolly - he does have three wives, after all - but is quite embarrassed on two occasions when he is being vamped and knows it. Ma Joong and Chiao Tai's reactions tend to be more enthusiastic and uninhibited.
  • The Licanius Trilogy: This is Erran's initial (over)reaction to Asha as she takes most of her clothes off in preparation to swim towards the Tributary.
  • In The Mists of Avalon, when Igraine gets into an argument with Gorlois, she rips off the dress and jewels he gave her to protest how he's acting. He ends the argument because he can't continue it while looking at her naked body.
  • The Mortal Instruments: In City of Ashes, after almost having Their First Time, Clary and Jace have a discussion in bed, and she concludes they must to the Silent City immediately, and he jokes that she isn't dressed appropriately for the trip quite yet.
    "Now," Clary said. "I don't want to wait. Do you?"
    He didn't reply, just got up off the floor and picked up his shirt. He looked at Clary, and almost smiled. "If we're going to the Silent City, you might want to get dressed. I mean, I appreciate the bra-and-panties look, but I don't know if the Silent Brothers will. There are only a few of them left, and I don't want them to die of excitement."
  • In the Myth Adventures books, Skeeve has this problem with Queen Hemlock and Bunny. Hemlock did it on purpose; Skeeve is disguised as King Roderick at the time and she was testing him, since "royalty doesn't get embarrassed" as she puts it.
  • Done in The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov, when a detective interviews a woman who just finished bathing. Since it is merely a 3D communication, rather than personal contact, she has trouble understanding what the big deal is.
  • Lensman
    • Played With in Second Stage Lensman when Kinnison finally gets around to mentioning to Ilona of Lombar that she needs to put on some clothes while on board Dauntless. The discussion that follows makes it clear that it's a matter of convention - guests dress up or strip down to match the host's culture - rather than a nudity taboo. Kinnison's "nudity is no big deal" attitude is pretty common among the (relatively cosmopolitan) Lensmen, but it's not universal: Ilona is perfectly dressed by her culture's standards: she's wearing jewelry, and a lot of it. She's horrified when she finally understands that by Tellurian standards she's practically naked.
    • Kinnison's wife is technically a Lens"man" herself (the only female to formally be so). At one point she's stationed on a planet where clothing is not worn when it's not absolutely necessary for protection from the environment. She's able to overlook the inhabitants' nudity (it helps that they're effectively an all-female race), but doesn't particularly like being naked in public herself, and does so only when it's unavoidable.
  • Ordinarily United: The Unitias run around completely naked at all times and they hate being told to put clothes on. Once is fine. But asking one of them twice in a row is grounds to be outright yelled at. Trying to force clothes on them is not only suicide, but specifically suicide in a very painful manner. Ask Pantalite, who especially pisses off the Unitias compared to the other Demons for trying to put panties on Origin pre-Hibernation.
  • Seven Years Awesome Luck Having happily been a cat for seven years, Trick has No Nudity Taboo, and in fact doesn't even understand it. His mother is just exasperated, but teenage Denneka does not cope well, and insists on him staying dressed if he wants to stick around.
  • Shadow of the Conqueror:
  • Tortall Universe:
  • In Uprooted, Agnieszka rips her dress off in panic when the Dragon uses a spell to show her The Corruption under her skin. He creates a cloak once he's done purging it, though she barely notices since she's now more concerned for her Best Friend's much worse condition.
  • In the first Wereling book, Trey seems to have a hard time noticing when he's naked. After his first training session as a werewolf, he spends about two pages talking with Lucien and Tom and only notices that Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing when they point it out, which embarrasses him since Alexa was watching. Similarly, the book opens with him waking up after his first transformation, and while he notices his nudity, he somehow forgets about it before letting somebody into his bedroom.
  • Weirdly averted in the Xanth books, where a panty flash is considered scandalous (and a weirdly powerful weapon) but ending up naked in front of strangers is simply a brief embarrassment. It's the Forbidden Fruit effect that does it. Due to Xanth's nature of basically taking puns and the like literally, women's underwear carries inherent magic because of its typically "secret" nature. On the other hand, many humanoid species (centaurs, mermaids, etc.) don't acknowledge their own nudity, so it's a lot more commonplace.

    Live-Action TV 
  • 800 Words:
    • Nearly everyone's reaction when Monty walks around George's house with only a Modesty Towel on. Siouxsie tells this to him out loud, though.
    • When George and Woody get into a discussion in the nudist beach, Tracey interrupts it to tell them to go elsewhere because "This feels like a 'clothes on' conversation".
  • Angel: A male-on-male version occurs in "First Impressions", when Wesley discovers why you should let sleeping vampires lie.
    Wesley: [while being choked] I can't breathe.
    Angel: [releasing his throat] Oh, sorry.
    Wesley: It's quite alright. Now, about the naked thing...
    Angel: I'll get dressed.
    Wesley: Much appreciated.

  • Baby Daddy: In "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Note", Ben requests this of his brother Danny when they're having a conversation in the locker room while the latter is showering. Danny refuses, pointing out "Showering is easier to do while naked". When Riley also barges in to join the conversation Danny does have a Naked Freak-Out and hides behind Ben, but she still asks him to put a towel on.
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer subverts this when Anya comes to visit Xander in "The Harsh Light of Day". He turns around to get a juice box from the fridge and when he turns back, her dress is gone. He doesn't ask her to put clothes on, though — he just stands there and stares until they get around to the consummation she dropped... everything... in preparation for. Followed by him squeezing the juice box in surprise and causing it to spurt in a not-at-all suggestive manner.
  • Happens several times on Chuck, and twice Sarah references this trope by name:
    • The first is when she goes to Shaw's apartment to discuss Chuck's changing personality, only for Shaw to answer the door in nothing but a Modesty Towel and flustering her greatly and leading her to ask Shaw to get dressed.
    • In "Chuck Vs The Suitcase", Chuck is being held at gunpoint by a naked Volkoff agent (played by Karolína Kurková) when she caught him trying to break into her safe while she was taking a shower. Chuck is very uncomfortable her state of undress.
    [Chuck is almost finished opening her safe]
    Sofia: [*Click* Hello] Don't move.
    Chuck: [slowly turns around to face her, sees she's completely naked and quickly turns away]
    Sofia: Look at me.
    Chuck: [turns to face her again, trying and failing not to ogle her] Okay, you should know that I have a girlfriend—
    Sofia: Who do you work for, and how did you find me?
    Chuck: [nervously] I would love to get into this. Is it at all possible for you to cover yourself with maybe a towel?
    • Later, in the same scene when Sarah turns the tables and rescues Chuck she quite snarkily tells the woman to "put some clothes on."
  • In Coupling, Steve returns home looking for his keys, and bumps into Sally in a Modesty Towel, who's using the shower because hers is broken. And then she accidentally drops the towel.
    Sally: Did you look everywhere?
    Steve: Er... Yes. Yes. So sue me. You're naked, I'm a man. I looked.
    Sally: ...Did you look everywhere for your keys?
And then Steve agrees that Sally picking up the towel again would be a very good idea...

      Kathy: Oh, God! Oh, God! Sally, you've met my brother Larry, haven't you?
      Sally: No.
      Kathy: You're about to.
      Larry: [stepping out of the bathroom, naked] Okay. Not sure, but really, really hoping. [points down] Pants?
      Sally: [grinning, and not looking away] No.
      Kathy: [running downstairs] Put them on! Put them on! I hate you! What're you thinking?! Sorry. My useless brother.
    • The Tenth Doctor appeared, due to circumstances, naked before Donna Noble. However, he was quite enthusiastic about it.
      Donna: It's you!
      The Doctor: Oh yes!
      Donna: [looking away] ... you're naked.
      The Doctor: Oh yes!
    • In "The Eleventh Hour", the (just-regenerated Eleventh) Doctor starts changing out of the tatters of Ten's clothes right in front of Amy and Rory. Amy doesn't mind at all, but Rory is sufficiently embarrassed.
    • In the Red Nose Day mini-episode "Space"/"Time", after the TARDIS is endangered by Rory being distracted by the sight of his wife Amy in a short skirt;
      The Doctor: Okay, we're back in normal flight. The TARDIS is no longer inside itself. The localised time field is no longer about to implode and rip a hole in all causality but just in case — Pond, put some trousers on.
    • In "The Time of the Doctor", the Eleventh Doctor appears before Clara completely naked for a fun exchange.

Given that they're quite close to each other and Alia is breathing heavily, there's a certain Incest Yay feel to it all.

    Will: That ain't what's scaring me! You ain't got no drawers on!

  • Leverage: Parker has a habit of changing clothes whenever and wherever she needs to, regardless of who is around, usually getting this type of reaction from her teammates.

    • In "I Do", Sawyer barks this (minus the "please") at Kate in while she's changing in the cage opposite him, but not because he didn't want to see her Toplessness from the Back: He was afraid the explosive pacemaker that Ben had supposedly put in his chest would cause his heart to explode if his heart rate got over 140. This ended up not being true.

    [Beat]

      Kara: You mean, undercover?
      Clark: Yes, exactly. And this is... not covered. Um, look, can you just go change, please? Now.

Naturally, Lois walks in right at this moment and Clark has to explain this is Not What It Looks Like.
  • In the 1988 sci-fi mini-series Something is Out There the Head-Turning Beauty alien protagonist Ta'Ra comes from a culture with no nudity taboo. She's quite puzzled by Jack Breslin insisting that she put on a T-shirt as she's perfectly aware (as a telepath) that Jack wants to see her naked body. Things become even more awkward when Jack's girlfriend comes around to the house, suddenly looks over his shoulder and says: "And who is that?" Jack mutters "Oh God, let her be wearing the T-shirt" as he turns around... fortunately, Ta'Ra is wearing his shirt as asked.

An embarrassed Joyce turns her head and nods at the direction of his clothes.
    • Eddie tosses his denim vest at Steve telling him to have some modesty after they end up stuck in the Upside Down, with Steve topless, injured and half drowned.
  • Strong Medicine. Dr. Lu Delgado arrives at a porn studio to give medical checkups to the actors and rather sheepishly name drops this trope, a little unnerved by all the casual nudity.
  • The Sweeney, episode "Night Out": the following exchange takes place between Jack Regan (a cop) and Iris Long (a "working girl") while awaiting the arrival of an armed gang:
    Regan: Get dressed.
    Iris: All right. What do you think I should wear? Something inexpensive cos of the bullet holes? Or something dark so it doesn't show the blood?
    Regan: That's not funny!
    Iris: There's no need to get hysterical.
    Regan: I am not being hysterical, I AM TERRIFIED!

  • Ugly Betty: In "Crush'd", Betty is shocked to find Amanda completely naked at Mode early in the morning and immediately asks her to put some clothes on.
  • The Vampire Diaries:
  • This sometimes would be ad-libbed in Whose Line Is It Anyway? skits — when someone couldn't think of a line and wanted to put the burden on someone else, they'd sometimes just say something like "Oh and put your pants on, please" even though nothing else in the scene had implied that anyone's character was naked.

    Music 
  • "Put Your Clothes Back On," a 1979 country hit by Joe Stampley, had this admonition ... a young man thinks his significant other is sexier and desirable fully clothed rather than naked.
  • Likely what the J. Geils Band was hoping the "Centerfold" would do, upon seeing her in a nude magazine centerfold, the next time he saw her.
  • At one point during The Bob and Tom Band's song, "It's Christmas and I Wonder Where I Am", which is told in the perspective of a man getting drunk on Christmas:
    I was looking for a lady I could dance with
    And so, I stood beneath the mistletoes
    Someone said said, 'You'll have a better chance if
    You take that lampshade off and put back on your clothes!
  • The whole point of the song "Bettina zieh dir bitte etwas an" (Bettina, Please Put Some Clothes On) by German band Fettes Brot.
  • Referenced near the end of the Ray Stevens song The Streak, as the interviewee shouts after his wife, who's running away with the titular man to "get your clothes on!"

    Pro Wrestling 
  • Kurt Angle's clothes were once stolen while he was in a tanning bed. He spent most of the episode running around in a thong and beating up random people, demanding the thief reveal himself. Jim Cornette caught up to him and handed him a robe, begging him to put it on.
  • Well he never got the chance to go further, as when referee Sean Vincent was forced to wrestle at GCW Adults F-N Only, he started changing in the ring only to get showered with chants of "Put Your Shirt On!"

    Theatre 
  • Bizarrely done in the comedy of remarriage Mary Mary: Bob asks his ex-wife to put on a robe, though she's wearing nothing more immodest than her usual night clothes ("Good Lord, you'd think it was a black lace bikini! Eight million times you've seen me in pajamas!"). When she does put a robe on, he immediately tries to tear it off her, claiming she did it just to make him look silly. He's rather confused.
  • In One Touch of Venus, when Venus suddenly appears in Rodney's apartment, he tells her, "Take off that nightgown!" She starts to do just that, and he says, "I mean, put something over it!" She doesn't stop trying to seduce him, and he complains that she's nearly naked ("I can see your — form!") and looking too much like "some kind of a strip-tease." She does take his hint to get herself a more decent dress, and surprises him when he runs into her again:
    Rodney: Oh... I didn't recognize you with your clothes on.
    Venus: Do you like me better with my clothes on?
    Rodney: Yes, I do. It's a big improvement.
    Venus: That's refreshing — most men are so vice versa.
  • The song "I Just Can't Wait (Till I See You with Clothes On)" from Subways Are for Sleeping.
  • Spoken almost verbatim by the titular character in Tartuffe to a servant showing too much cleavage (according to him anyway), as part of his guise of an overly devout man. The servant in question riles him on being so easily troubled, and goes on to tell him that seeing him naked would not trouble her in the slightest.

    Video Games 
  • AdventureQuest Worlds: When Noxus holds Gravelyn hostage, he makes her wear a Chain Mail Bikini. Once the Player Character takes down Noxus, s/he seems surprised and asks if she wants help finding her armor, though Gravelyn doesn't seem to care and insists there are more pressing issues.
  • Breath of Fire IV: Nina first finds Ryu Naked on Arrival unconscious inside a crater after a dragon attack. When he awakens he stands up and gives her a full frontal Naked First Impression and Nina stares at a loss for words until she blushes and gives him clothes from the nearby ruined caravan, looking away while asking him to please put them on.
  • Code of Princess: Solange has a very stacked figure and is dressed in such revealing Chainmail Bikini that it has her brother telling her to cover herself up.
  • Criminal Case: World Edition: While in Germany, the player meets a fat, balding old nudist. Naturally, the first thing Carmen did was tell him to wear some pants.
  • A Dance with Rogues: NPCs have special reactions if the main character is naked or in underwear when talking to them. Friendly ones will usually say something like "Please Put Some Clothes On", Dhorn guards will order her to put clothes on, and eventually may arrest her.
  • Dragon Age:
    • In Dragon Age: Origins, there is a sidequest to obtain several notes written between illegitimate lovers. One such note informs the recipient You Can Leave Your Hat On next time they meet... And maybe his boots... "And trousers. Shirt too. And I shall facilitate said clothed status by locking my door and posting a guard."
    • In Dragon Age II one of the lines that play when you have Hawke look out a window is "Maker's breath! Put some clothes on, man!"
  • The Elder Scrolls:
  • In Fallout 4, should the Player Character fast-travel while in naught but their skivvies, most companions will awkwardly suggest you to get dressed, even if you've romanced them. Pragmatic and mission-focused X6-88 will outright lose affinity. The exception are Cait and Hancock, who will both gain affinity and have comments to voice their appreciation.
  • Fairy Fencer F: When Harley starts taking off her clothes due to the heat her fairy partner Bahus starts to freak out and demand her to put her clothes back on and she complies with reluctance.
  • Farnham Fables: Compared to his brothers, Philip is much less comfortable around naked people. He outright refuses to enter the nudist Keith's hut, turns his head away when handing Gloria's skirt to Rachael (who is topless due to National Geographic Nudity), and can ask her and her daughter to put more clothes on. In Episode 3, going to the Edisons' farm after gathering all of the animals will have Philip learn that they like to go topless when no one else is around, much to his embarrassment, and he will refuse to do most of the interactions with them.
  • Fashion Police Squad: In a world where bad fashion sense is a crime and the enemies are beaten by making them fashionable, two enemy types have the crime of being dressed indecently: The Mr. Spewdos, a fat man wearing nothing but a speedo and crocs, and the Gimp Suit, a man in indecent bondage gear. Both are beaten by forcefully having clothes put onto them by first using the Tailormade's Fabric Grenade to cover them in cloth, then shot at with the Tailormade's needle guns (with the former also requiring a change in footwear to take down).
  • Final Fantasy XIV:
    • This is a consequence of how the class system works. When you learn a new class, it starts at level 1... and you can't equip gear higher than your level. Most people don't tend to keep their starting level 1 gear (and the starting gear has no stats anyway), so people tend to spend the first few levels of a new class in their underwear. Since rogue was added in a patch after launch, it's not available as a starting class. You have to complete a level 10 quest and unlock airship travel to the city the rogue trainer is in, assuming you didn't pick one of the other classes which starts in that city, in order to get it. The rogue trainer heavily lampshades this situation by complaining that they get huge numbers of new recruits coming in only wearing their underwear. Later-added classes give you a unique set of gear as you unlock them to avoid this problem.
    • In one of the Stormblood sidequests, when M'zhet sees J'olhmyn in nothing but a bikini, he constantly turns his head away in order to not gawk at her and then asks her to put some clothes on before they chase after the bad guy they're looking for.
    • The friendly Matanga tribe in Endwalker all wear clothes. Another clan of Matanga meets them and the two eventually congregate and become friendly towards each other, but the new group don't wear any clothes at all. In the tribe's area, you can see one of the clothed Matanga asking a naked one to put some clothes on, only for the naked one to refuse because clothes make him itchy.
  • Fire Emblem:
  • Garou: Mark of the Wolves: Rock Howard kindly asks Bonne Jenet to get some less revealing clothes. Funnily enough, in The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2, she hits on him. (His reaction? Covering his face in embarrassment.]])
  • Amiti is told to do this in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn when he asks to travel with the heroes. He wonders aloud if it's because his current outfit is distracting, but is told that it's because they'll be traveling in the snowy mountains and he'll get cold. Sure enough, he complains about being cold in Te Rya.
  • Honkai Impact 3rd: While assuring Fu Hua that she'll get the intel she seeks, Wraith asks her to change outfits. Fu Hua, who spent half a day on the run from "Welt" half-naked, is confused until Wraith points out that she's not even wearing pants and that the Singaporean police arrests people for indecent exposure.
  • I Was a Teenage Exocolonist:
  • King of Fighters XIII mercilessly lampshades the fact that Mai's outfit has her half-naked, by having most of the cast point out the indecency of what she's wearing. Her reaction ranges from trying to justify it, by explaining it's the traditional garb worn by the women of the Shiranui Ninja Clan, to being insulted.
  • In League of Legends, Evelynn, Agony's Embrace recounts a time this happened to her. She responded in her usual manner.
    Evelynn: A man once told me to put on some clothes. So I wore his skin.
  • The Legend of Zelda:
    • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:
    • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:
      • Once again, some NPCs have unique reactions if Link decides to go streaking. Paya isn't as shy this time around, and this time will just quietly comment that Link is underdressed.
      • In Gerudo Town, Link removing his shirt is considered so offensive that it's one of the things that can get him thrown in jail, with the guards refusing to release him until he covers up. Granted, as a man he's only allowed in the town by special permission anyway, and many of the younger Gerudo find his presence shocking even when he's fully dressed. Notably, he can get away with removing his pants as long as he keeps his chest covered.
  • One Way Heroics: Parodied with the Hero's Zenura Weave that will increases the Hero's stats while permanently barring them from armor and clothes. Everyone will either think you're crazy or ask you to at least find some pants to wear, but if you're playing as a female character, some people will compliment your body and other female party members will even be jealous of you. Either way, using this skill drops you to -99 Charisma, meaning that without extremely copious amounts of Level Grinding, you will never be able to recruit another NPC.
  • Present in Neverwinter Nights. However, being shape-shifted counts as naked, leading to the bizarre situation where a guard can tell a giant spider to put some clothes on.
  • Persona:
    • Persona 3 Portable:
      • When playing as a female main character, during the temptation scene, one of the player's conversational choices afterwards when either Junpei or Akihiko step out of the shower, presumably wearing a towel around the waist, and snaps out of the shadow's spell is a request to please put some clothes on.
      • This is also the reaction that the female main character's Love Interest has if she tries to talk to him in Tartarus while wearing the Battle Panties.
    • Persona 4 Golden: If the protagonist/Yu puts on the Bath Towel costume and then talks to Rise, she will ask you to put some clothes on because she can't concentrate.
  • [PROTOTYPE 2]: Alex Mercer to James Heller. Who knew a virus could be sensitive to partial nudity?
    Mercer: [deadpan] And for god's sake, man. Put some fucking clothes on.
  • Resident Evil 6: When Sherry and Jake reunite in a locker room after being captured by Neo Umbrella, Jake immediately looks away from Sherry in embarrassment because she's wearing a fairly revealing patient's outfit. Sherry looks down at herself and notices it, and quickly ducks behind a locker door.
  • Roommates: When Isabella prances downstairs in a Modesty Towel, Dominic scolds her to go get dressed before waltzing around the house.
  • Under rare circumstances, Sims in The Sims 2 will, after a bath or shower, forget to don clothes until it comes to their attention they're forgetting something, which can easily take a while. Even shy Sims have no modesty whatsoever, yet any Sim will gasp (or even scream) upon seeing anyone else who is naked. Since very outgoing Sims will forgo swimsuits in a hot-tub, they can cause quite a commotion at a community lot. Mix in some adult game mods and you end up with Sims freaking out over the nudity of the person they just explicitly "woohooed".
  • Singles: Flirt Up Your Life, a German-born Sims knockoff that features anatomically correct models and outright (if clinical) sex, has characters who do get embarrassed for lack of adornment. Stuck naked, or clad only in underwear in the same room as a relative stranger (i.e. not a significant other or a very good friend) they will seek out a far corner and curl into a ball until directed to change into something.
  • In Shining in the Darkness, there is a status effect called "muddled" (inflicted by the second level of the Muddle spell and by using the Demon Staff) that makes affected enemies and party members do strange things at random. One of the possible results is for the affected party member to shed all clothes. If it's Pyra doing that, then Milo will ask her to put something on. If it's the hero or Milo, then Pyra will tell them to get a hold of themselves.
  • In SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, seeing as how Ryu was raised by Gouken in Japan for most of his life, and has probably never seen a girl naked before (at least up-close), he's pretty embarrassed when he stops to ask directions from Mai Shiranui in her Stripperific outfit. Another funny one is when Chun Li threatens to arrest her for wearing such an indecent outfit. Finally, if Mai reaches Athena, one of the two True Final Bosses, the dialogue between the two is them arguing over each other's attire.
  • Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions: This is Ultimate Spider-Man's reaction to encountering Electro, who fights naked.
    Peter: Ugh, dude, pants! No one wants to see your junk!
  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords:
    • Echani traditionnote  dictates sparring while wearing as little as possible (supposed to be completely nude, but because it's a T-rated game the closest they can come is underwear) so as not to restrict movement (or, as is likely, for Fanservice). The Handmaiden doesn't put her clothing back on after a duel until you ask her to (and then she is rather reluctant).
    • Played with; you can convince her that training while wearing as much as possible makes a better fighter by simulating real-world fighting conditions. She will agree and don extremely heavy, unrevealing robes.
    • Overlaps with Lampshade Hanging and Developer's Foresight - if you ask her to put clothes on while you yourself are in your underwear, she will call you out on your hypocrisy. The Exile can, of course, respond by saying they can dress like that if they want to since it's their ship.
    • Played exceedingly straight for the first fourth or so of the tutorial level. The Exile just wakes up in a Healing Vat after having been undressed and is forced to search for anything to arm and clothe herself with. After Kreia wakes up you can talk to her, and at the end she suggests you find some clothes, if only to make a proper first impression. Atton Rand, meanwhile, only has a problem with the Exile going around half-naked if the Exile is male - when the female Exile finally finds some clothes to put on, Atton expresses his disappointment, then claims it's good, since the Exile running around in her underwear was distracting. For the droids.

  • Under Night In-Birth When Vatista first awakens, she's completely naked (thankfully, she's only seen from the back and her Godiva Hair covers her backside).

Later Iroh is attacked and abducted during his bath by Earthbenders and spends most of the episode in only some modesty rags. At the end when Zuko and Iroh manage to fight them off, Zuko request once again for Iroh to get dressed.

There's a brief pause before she exclaims, "Then put some on, and get over here now, young man! Doesn't anyone in this town wear pants anymore?!"
  • Final Space: In episode 3, Gary ends up naked when his new robotic arm goes out of control. He also repeatedly loses the Modesty Towel Mooncake gave him, which leads to Avocato to complain:

  • Futurama:
    • In "War Is the H-Word", Leela (posing as a man) enters the showers where Zapp Brannigan, having just finished showering, is naked. She politely suggests that he put on a Modesty Towel, and he obliges by wrapping one around his head. A few seconds later, President Nixon's head (carried by Kif) comes into the room and yells at Brannigan to cover himself. Instead, Zapp has Kif raise Nixon's head up higher.
      Nixon's head: For God's sake cover yourself, Brannigan! I didn't live a thousand years and travel a quadrillion miles to look at another man's "gizmo".
      Zapp Brannigan: Oh, sorry Mr. President, I didn't realize. Kif, raise him about nipple high.

      Farnsworth: Oh, you sound just like my tennis instructor.
    • Averted in one episode where, à la LBJ, The Professor conducts a staff meeting while naked and comfy in a bubble bath. No-one complains. Justified, perhaps, in that this may be a common occurrence at Planet Express.

  • King of the Hill:
    • Hank Hill frequently implores this of his niece Luanne in early seasons when she would walk around the house in her "unmentionables". He would of course say this even if she wasn't his (non-biological) niece, as he is quite uptight about nudity, period.
    • And his line after being stranded and tied to a gate by his father and his war-buddies in his underwear:
      Hank: I have to hide my nudity!
    • He initially refuses to run to a shelter while in the eye of a tornado that had torn off his clothes because the women would see him naked. One of the people in the shelter, an old woman, informs him that he's worried over nothing:
      Old Woman: Oh, don't worry about it. I seen a whole jar o' pickles in my day.

Nobody minds while on the island, but when they finally get home, Buena Girl orders him to get dressed. Ricochet refuses, but his Abuelo shows up and orders him, while bystanders start laughing. This time, Ricochet is embarrassed and complies.
  • In the short "Bob's Birthday" from O Canada!, Bob's wife has this reaction when he comes downstairs without pants. This wounds Bob, who is already insecure about his aging and thinks she is no longer attracted to him. In reality, it's because their friends are all hiding in the living room to surprise him with a party.
  • In episodes of Rick and Morty where Rick transforms into something else, when he transforms back, he's naked — much to Summer's disgust ("PANTS!"). Thankfully, he can generate clothes at the push of a button.
  • In an episode of Rocko's Modern Life, Rocko is making a video of his life to send to his parents. Unbeknown to him until it was too late, Heffer and Filbert also recorded him coming down the stairs completely naked in the middle of the night to go get a drink from the fridge. They then sent a copy of the video to his parents as well as one to the Australian film festival. While his parents were not upset with him over it, they did send him some money to buy a robe.

      Sarcastic middle-aged guy: [outside] Do us all a favour; invent yourself some underpants!
    • In another episode, Homer is Caught Up in the Rapture and arrives in Heaven naked. An angel immediately demands he get dressed, unable to stand seeing a fat guy naked.

      Dolph: Looking good, Carol!

      Homer: Shut up, Flanders.
  • Used at the end of an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, where the whole episode was just Space Ghost's attempt to explain the birds and the bees to Moltar and Zorak (naked, for some reason). Zorak tells him to put his clothes back on, with Space Ghost responding "Never!"
  • SpongeBob SquarePants:
    • Squidward says this to SpongeBob in "Nature Pants" when he gives him his pants back at the end of the episode. He also says this to Patrick in "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" when the latter shows up in his bathtub.
    • In "Squid's Day Off", when Squidward is left in charge of the Krusty Krab, he hallucinates that SpongeBob is spying on him to see if he's really doing errands, when SpongeBob has actually been sitting at the cash register the entire time. When Squidward runs to the Krusty Krab, clad only in a shower cap and Censor Suds (odd for the latter, given that Squidward normally doesn't wear pants anyway), a mother fish covers her son's eyes as she tells Squidward, "Hey! Put some clothes on!".
  • Star vs. the Forces of Evil: In "Storm The Castle", when Glossaryck discards his Modesty Towel as a demonstration of the word "cleaved", River urges him to put it back on while Moon covers her eyes.

  • Happens at least twice in Time Squad. When the team meets Winston Churchill in 1941 in the episode "The Prime Minister Has No Clothes", they try to get the "freedom"-minded PM to put clothes on as a plot point (not to mention Larry as well). In another episode we see a projection of Buck trying to get none other than Lady Godiva to get dressed as she rides a horse in nude protest.
  • X-Men: Evolution: In "The Stuff Of Villains", the Brotherhood members are seen cleaning up their house and Toad is goofing off while wearing one of Pietro's uniforms. Lance ends up dumping all of traitor Pietro's stuff outside and tells Toad to get rid of the suit. Toad takes off running but trips and then crash through Wanda's bedroom door. Lance catches up to him and rips off the uniform that Toad was wearing. Lance's reaction is that of disgust/horror as he quickly looks away while covering his eyes and telling Toad to go put something else on. (Now the screen moves slightly up focusing on Lance's reaction and conveniently not showing Toad at all. So yeah. It's implied that he was completely naked underneath that suit. Ew.)

    Real Life 
  • Poor Eric Massa. "Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?" Massa (a US congressional representative) and Rahm Emanuel (then White House Chief of Staff) were in the showers at the gym at the time, so the nakedness was expected, but this combined with it being Rahm Emanuel no doubt made it awkward.
  • Lyndon Johnson was quite fond of utilizing this mentality when it came to talking to political rivals, going so far as going to the bathroom while insisting they remain present and continue their conversation. He was also, according to several accounts... quite well endowed, which may have added to the strategy.
    • There is another story, dating from either his Presidency or, more likely, as Senate Majority Leader, when he was in negotiations with a fellow Democrat who was holding up legislation LBJ desired. He said "You might as well go right ahead and cut off my pecker" and proceeded to pull out his penis and set it on the table, along with a pocketknife. "Go ahead, do it!"
  • Cindy Crawford tells a Playboy interviewer about her meeting with a guy from Pepsi (and what she overheard from him) while sunbathing topless while in Barbados for an international meeting:
    Crawford: One day my girlfriend, her boyfriend and I were sunbathing topless because that's Barbados - you can wear nothing if you wantnote . And the Pepsi guy walks up and with my agent to meet us for lunch. I saw him coming and I wondered. Should I put on my top because I have business relationship with him? I didn't want him to get offended because the rest of the rest of the beach had seen me with my top off. Meanwhile as he's walking toward me, he's saying to my agent, "I hope she puts on her top.". He wasn't even being a schmuck, like wanting to see. He wanted to keep our relationship professional.
    Playboy: Did you or didn't you?
    Crawford: I left it off and it was fine with everyone.
  • Former hockey defenceman Aaron Ward recalls the "no-shirt rule" that he had at his house when rookie defenceman Jiri Fischer was his roommate:
    Aaron Ward: I had to have this "no-shirt rule" in the house. He [Jiri Fischer] wasn't allowed to be shirtless in the house. The kid's built like a Greek god. I didn't want my wife seeing that. One day he was sitting at the computer with no shirt on and I'm like, "Hey Jiri, you know the rule."
  • Kathy Griffin exploits this for her own purposes (read: funny) during CNN's New Year's Eve coverage, which she co-anchors with stoic, serious newsman Anderson Cooper (who also happens to be one of her best friends, oddly enough). At least twice she has stripped down to a miniskirt and bra on national television during the night, leading to this reaction from Anderson. The second time she did it, he appeared resigned to the fact that nothing he said was going to have any effect, but he gave it his best go anyway. (He'd apparently forgiven her after awhile that year, as she did get a smooch at midnight.) While there had been rumours that Cooper was gay for years (which he sort of never commented on either way) he finally came out in the late 2010s.
