* [[Iron Man]] has had at least one suit of his [[Powered Armor]] [[Instant AI, Just Add Water|become sentient]] (and start acting disturbingly like an [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|abusive boyfriend]]).

* The first issue of the ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Roger Rabbit]]'' comic books featured as a villain a sentient set of "fancy pants," which talked like a gangster most of the time but got eloquent when wishing it would meet a pair of "female pants" to end its loneliness. [[Planet Eris|This was pretty much par for the course]].

* In ''[[Tales of the Unexpected]]'' Azzarello and Chiang's [[Doctor Thirteen]] backup in Tales of the Unexpected featured a pile of superhero costumes attacking the obscure band of characters as a [[Take That|statement]] about how the company ignores the stranger heroes in favor of big-name heroes that are ultimately nothing but sales icons.

* The classic visual version comes from the Universal version of ''[[The Invisible Man (Filmfilm)|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]]''.

* The movie ''[[Legend (Filmfilm)|Legend]]'' had a dancing (and possibly evil) dress. When the princess danced with it she ended up wearing it.

* In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/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.

* There's a [[Dungeons and& Dragons|D&D]] monster named a ragamuffyn, which is usually a cloud of sentient magical clothing. It also comes in varieties that are made of rags or weapons.

* In ''[[Adventurers (Webcomic)|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.

* One of the ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]'' episodes had a humiliating incident in which Arthur's pants fell down at school inspire a dream where his pants were trying to eat him. Go figure.

* [[Eek! theThe Cat]] has a character named Clutter, a living pile of laundry.

* Greenbeard's gloves in ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures (Animation)|Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', which can move under their own power and force whoever's wearing them to steal things.
