Fur Is Clothing: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

In animation, sometimes a [[Funny Animal]] who doesn't appear to wear any clothing actually ''does''; the fur that covers their bodies is actually a removable suit. This can be revealed in a few ways; perhaps a [[Non Fatal Explosions|Non Fatal Explosion]] goes off, leaving our character in [[Ash Face]] and furless, with only [[Goofy Print Underwear]] on. Or, the character can remove their fur voluntarily by using a zipper that was never there before. It's almost always [[Played for Laughs]]. This can also provide a loophole around [[Nonhumans Lack Attributes]], hence the character will usually react in embarrassment after their fur has been removed.

There is a variant of this trope in which an animal character has pockets as part of his/her actual physiology. Those pockets are most commonly located on the thighs. Another variant involves animal lifting the fur or skin on his or her leg to [[Show Some Leg|reveal a sexy woman's leg]].

Line 11:

Compare [[Removable Shell]] for the shelled animal variant. Subtrope of [[Appropriate Animal Attire]]. See also [[Exposed Extraterrestrials]] and [[Fur Is Skin]].

* [[Ren and Stimpy]] have revealed their fur to be nothing but a suit in a few different episodes, by unzipping to take a bath or go skinny dipping.

Line 44:

** Also, what is a Gardevoir or a Gothitelle's dress supposed to be made from?

* In the ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures (Animation)|Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' [[Direct to Video]] movie ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures How I Spent My Vacation (Animation)|Tiny Toon Adventures How I Spent My Vacation]]'', Dizzy Devil is afraid to spin (like Tasmanian Devil) because he's shedding, and doesn't want to end up naked. Eventually he does spin and lose his fur, and spends the rest of the movie wearing a cardboard box and feeling ashamed for being naked.

* In ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'', Conker is a [[Half Dressed Cartoon Animal]], but in the parts of the game where he [[It Makes Sense in Context|urinates]] there is an audible zip before and after he does so.

* In ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'', Conker is a [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]], but in the parts of the game where he [[It Makes Sense in Context|urinates]] there is an audible zip before and after he does so.

** In the [[X Box]] [[Video Game Remake|remake]] ''Conker: Live and Reloaded'', he's wearing shorts, so it makes more sense.

* Happens near the beginning of ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]'' during the scene where Pooh is exercising in front of his mirror. When Pooh bends bown, a seam on his rear end (he's a ''stuffed'' bear) rips open, causing some stuffing (which is probably the stuffed animal equivalent of [[Nightmare Fuel|internal organs)]] to fall out. He eventually realizes this, and as a result, Pooh immediately sews his rear end back together again.

Line 52:

** He's got footies all right. ''Airthlete'' footies.

** Also, Homestar Runner's [[Long Pants|"pants"]], Strong Bad's "mask" and "boxing gloves", Marzipan's "dress", and so on, so forth.

* In this ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' [http://equestria.fadri.org/009-lyra-sleeps fancomic], the minor background character Lyra is revealed to follow this trope.

* In this ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' [http://equestria.fadri.org/009-lyra-sleeps fancomic], the minor background character Lyra is revealed to follow this trope.

* Inverted in the ''[[Toy Story]]'' series films, what appears to be Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the aliens' clothing is actually their "skin."

* ''[[Almost Naked Animals]]'' takes this to its literal extreme. The entire cast has mostly-bare skin and underwear.

Line 73:

* [[Bugs Bunny]] from ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' was often portrayed with "pockets" on his furry thighs, that he'd keep his hands in or pull carrots out of.

* In an episode of ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Spike the dragon is suddenly given a pocket in his scales, [[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/_images/7fca97ae21657bfa42237f4af9fe81b9/3188%20-
