* In ''[[Gantz]]'', this is the first of Kurono's [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]] moments.

== [[Literature]] ==

* The stand-up comic main character in Louis Sachar's ''Dogs Don't Tell Jokes'' uses this in one of his jokes.

 

* ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'': Richard advises against this, he had a [[Squick]] when doing this with a audience of Bulgarians.

* In one episode of ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', Kochanski encourages Kryten to stand up to people by imagining them on the toilet. When it actually comes down do it though, he can't manage it. So he forces them, at gunpoint, to go sit on the toilet so that he can laugh and them and have the courage to say that 'No, he does not want to be reset to factory settings'. For some unaccountable reason they decide to do it anyway.

* In ''[[Cul De Sac]]''. Petey is nervous about an upcoming oboe recital - his mom gives him this advice and he looks horrified. She sighs "Okay, okay! Stop imagining!" He wails "I CAN'T!"

 

* In ''[[Bat Boy: The Musical]]'', Meredith reassures Shelley about taking Bat Boy to the tent revival, telling her to "just imagine (the townsfolk) in their underwear".

* In the musical ''[[When Midnight Strikes]]'', waitress/resting actress Josephina advises nervous party guest Edward to do this. After a few seconds silence as he can't stop staring at her, she storms off with a disgusted 'Dude, not me!'

{{quote|'''Ray:''' If you start to get nervous, imagine them naked. You start to get really nervous, ''make'' them get naked. Still nervous? ''You'' get naked; you can do whatever you want, you're killing these people!}}

* Apparently the oldest daughter in ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'' is so awkward and nervous when talking in public because she's always picturing everyone naked, at all times (Or she is just a pervert). Her brother advised her to imagine audience with clothes.

 

* There are nudist jokes/strips that revolve around inverting this trope.

* If you are nervous about editing [[TV Tropes]], just imagine that all the tropers who will read what you write are naked. Heck - if they're ''at home'' on the computer, they could well be!
