With nobody inside them!|'''[[Dr. Seuss]]'''}}

 

* 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]].

* 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.

** ''[[CSI: Miami|YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!]]

* One Bronze Age Superman story had the Man Of Steel dealing with his entire Clark Kent disguise having a life of its own. He finds out that he passed through a cloud in space consisting of microscopic sentient beings that got attached to his clothing and he ends up taking them home.

* 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.

* 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.}}

* The titular hero of ''[[Plok]]'' is a being made up of clothes who can [[Detachment Combat|fire out his arms and legs at will]].

* One of the most dreaded monsters in ''[[Dragon Age]]: Awakening'' are the horrifiying schleets, which look like ordinary pairs of pants. When you get close enough, they jump up and tear out your eyes in order to lay their eggs in your eye sockets. At least, that's what [[The Alcoholic|Oghren's]] heard.
