Line 25:
== [[Film]] ==
* The classic visual version comes from the Universal version of ''[[The Invisible Man (film)|The Invisible Man]]''. Of course, the pants aren't really dancing on their own (and singing "here were go gathering nuts in May"), but don't tell that to the villagers.
* One of Mike Jittlov's demo reels in ''[[The Wizard Ofof Speed Andand Time (film)|The Wizard of Speed and Time]]''.
* There's a full magic ''suit'' in [[The Movie]] of ''[[My Favorite Martian (film)|My Favorite Martian]]''.
* Plenty of clothes, including pants, danced in the [[Walt Disney]] movie ''[[Bedknobs and Broomsticks]]'', thanks to the Substitutiary Locomotion spell.
Line 33:
* [[Trope Namer|Named for]] a [[Shel Silverstein]] poem in ''Where The Sidewalk Ends''.
* The Pale Green Pants With Nobody Inside Them from the Dr. Seuss story ''What Was I Afraid Of?'' Scary-looking, but quite harmless.
* In ''[[Discworld/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]'', the surplus life force causes clothing and other inanimate objects to get up and walk (or, more accurately, run) around on their own. In particular the wizards notice a full suit running off, followed by another pair of trousers, chased by a man shouting "I paid seven dollars for you!" Ridcully is astonished by this; he didn't know there was a tailor in the city who'd include a spare pair of pants with a seven dollar suit.
{{quote|"If it comes round again, trip it up. I want to see the label."}}
* There is a Japanese children's picture book about a little boy who dawdles getting dressed, so his pants run off without him and he has to chase them. Basically, a silly story about not being late.
* The villains of [[Larklight]]'s second book are {{spoiler|aliens from near the end of time called Moobs, which disguise themselves as clothes (mostly hats) and can [[Demonic Possession|take control of]] or [[Telepathy|telepathically communicate with]] people who wear them.}}
 
== [[MusicLive-Action VideoTV]] ==
* The video to Herbie Hancock's "Rock It": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[[EY 4 ZI Syp Ol Q]] Warning: May be creepy for some.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[iCarly]]'' has a bra that tells [[Mundane Ghost Story|unscary scary stories]].
** A broken washing machine would be pretty terrifying to a bra.
* Willow does this with magic to one of Tara's shirts on [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]], to try and cope with being lonely.

* The video to Herbie Hancock's "Rock It": [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[[EYEY4ZISypOlQ 4video ZIto SypHerbie OlHancock's Q]"Rock It"]. (Warning: May be creepy for some}.

== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Adventurers!]]!'', Ardam randomly encounters [https://web.archive.org/web/20100203173049/http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/0343.html one pair of evil pants]. The sheer stupidity of an article of clothing apparently [[Everything Trying to Kill You|trying to kill him]] sends him into shock.
* In one ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' storyline, Gwynn enchants a pile of laundry and clutter to become a Clutter Monster which would force Torg to clean up their apartment. It died when they put away some of the clothes that it was using for vital organs.
 
Line 70:
* [[Eek! The Cat]] has a character named Clutter, a living pile of laundry.
* Greenbeard's gloves in ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', which can move under their own power and force whoever's wearing them to steal things.
* An episode of [[Johnny Test]] had Johnny's genius sisters create a pair of pants that increased his intellect called Super Smarty Pants. It developed sentience as well as [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] traits towards Johnny, including trying to kill a love interest (whom he repeatedly denied he did have feelings for).
