Line 52:
* One recurring sketch by Armstrong and Miller involves an accident-prone presenter who continually ends up destroying priceless historical artifacts. Guess what happens in the one where there's a centuries-old tapestry.
* In a ''[[Childrens Hospital]]'' episode, a nurse has her uniform scrubs stripped off in this manner.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story "The Space Museum
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 71:
* On more than one occasion, [[Scooby-Doo (animation)|Scooby-Doo]] and friends would grab a trailing strip of mummy wrapping and give a tug, unravelling the mummy like a top.
* This happened to [[Popeye (comic strip)|Popeye]]'s swimsuit in one of the Al Brodax shorts.
* In one episode of ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'', Eddy pulls a thread of Jimmy's shirt, unraveling the shirt and ''removing his outline'', which leaves him to ooze into a nearby sewer. (Don't worry, he shows up shortly after in a jar brought by Sarah.)
* Happened to June's sweater once in ''[[KaBlam!]]''
* In an episode of ''[[Potatoes and Dragons]]'', a yeti is defeated in this way. His fur is unraveled until most of it is gone.
Line 80:
** In ''Buccaneer Woodpecker'', when he confronts Buzz Buzzard (who appears here as a pirate), Woody notices a loose thread on his coat and starts pulling on it, unravelling the coat ''and the hat'' (but oddly, leaving the buttons and everything else in place).
** In ''Wrestling Wrecks'', he pulls a thread from a wrestler's shorts into the piece an old lady is knitting next to him. In the next shot, when she finishes knitting the shorts back together, she gets scared and embarrassed at the same time, as the guy recovers his shorts and wears them again offscreen.
* Happens at least once to ''[[Kick Buttowski]]''.{{context}}
* ''[[Spongebob Squarepants]]'' has aptly-named season 11 episode "The String", where Spongebob is taken for a ride while following a strong he pulled from Squidward's shirt - hijinks similar to the ''Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy'' example ensue when the string ends up inexplicably tied into various other objects. Squidward in particular gets his clothes unraveled three different times - his shirt, a sweater, and ''an entire suit of armor''.
