Line 36:
* Ren from ''[[DearS]]'' is an [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] who ends up in this early on.
* Ditto for a character from ''[[Nagasarete Airantou]]''. Having lived on an island her entire life without ever having met a male, everything she's learned about inter-gender relationships was from<ref>''pornographic''</ref> books and magazines that washed up on shore.
{{quote| "But it says in this magazine that you don't wear anything under the apron when serving dinner..."<br />
"Don't listen to that kind of magazine!" }}
* ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]''
Line 118:
* In ''[[Bridget Jones|Bridget Jones's Diary]]'', Bridget has a nightmare where she has to take A-level French while wearing nothing but her Domestic Science apron. When she tells it to Daniel (her boyfriend) he asks her to "run over the bit" about the apron again.
* In ''[[The Otherworld]]'', Karl wants Hope to cook him breakfast naked for his birthday. She refuses -- bacon grease is hot. So he puts her in his shirt, nothing else, no panties, which barely covers her butt.
{{quote| '''Hope:''' Having sex with a woman ''while'' she's cooking your breakfast? Your fantasies are showing your age.}}
* In one of Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's ''Alice'' books, on the the main character's older brother's birthday, his girlfriend cooks him dinner while wearing only panties.

== Live-Action TV ==
* An episode of ''[[Bewitched]]'', "Bewitched, Bothered, and Baldoni", features a statue of Venus being turned into a real woman and ending up as the Stephens' maid. Samantha hands her an apron and asks her to put it on. When Venus comes out of the bathroom, Darrin gawks and Sam is shocked.
{{quote| '''Sam:''' When I said, "Put on an apron", I didn't mean ''just'' an apron! Now why don't you be a good girl and go out... (''Venus starts to turn around'') backwards! And we'll make sure you get a uniform to go with that apron.}}
* The current popularity of this trope in Japan may be traced back to the aforementioned ''Gilgamesh Nights'', wherein a pornographic actress named Yuki Hitomi would do a cooking segment wearing nothing but an apron.
* In ''[[Highlander the Series]]'', Amanda once did this while crashing in Duncan's place. Duncan was not pleased by this. (The fans, on the other hand...)
Line 131:
* The Canadian cooking show ''Barely Cooking'' did the same thing, hosted by a couple (a man and a woman) who wore nothing but an apron.
* In an episode of ''[[Wings (TV series)|Wings]]'', Joe and Helen, having kicked Brian and Casey out of the house, decide that they will celebrate their newfound privacy by being "all nude, all the time" while at home. This later leads to an argument when she comes out of the kitchen wearing an apron, but nothing else. (He's covered up by a newspaper he's conveniently reading ''at arm's length'' while walking down the stairs.)
{{quote| '''Joe:''' Helen, what is with that apron? I thought we agreed, all nude all the time!<br />
'''Helen:''' I am ''not'' cooking bacon naked. }}
* Technically, it could be said that Chewbacca's wife wears one about [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=323909610753051544&hl=en&emb=1 5 minutes] into ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'', but it's just confusing -- like the rest of the show.
Line 142:
* The video for Genesis' song "Jesus He Knows Me" features a woman dressed just this way during the pool scene at the bridge. She's the one working the barbecue.
* The Garth Brooks song, "Somewhere other than the Night":
{{quote| ''She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her apron on<br />
And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while;<br />
When their eyes met, they both began to smile....'' }}
 
Line 189:
** Hong Kong ends up wearing a white one in the ''Hetalia Bloodbath'', after taking off his [[Meido]] outfit [[Please Put Some Clothes On|and getting scolded by China.]]
** In the 2011 Aprils Fools even, America and Spain end up wearing "Sexy Waiter" outfits, too. America is embarrassed, Spain is amused.
{{quote| '''Romano:''' Are you really okay dressed like ''that'', you idiot?<br />
'''Spain:''' It feels great, with the weather and the breeze! }}
* This happens in episode 15 of ''[[The Wallflower]]'', in which Noi (while under the influence of a pirate ghost) hallucinates Takenaga cooking her dinner in nothing but a pink frilly apron.
Line 215:
== Live-Action TV ==
* [[Fan Disservice|Rather alarmingly]], Blackadder's [[Bumbling Sidekick]] Baldrick does this in ''[[Blackadder|Blackadder: Back and Forth]]''. Tony Robinson is gifted in the body hair department.
{{quote| '''Blackadder:''' Baldrick, why are you dressed like that?<br />
'''Baldrick:''' Do you want the long answer or the short answer?<br />
'''Blackadder:''' Mm, the short answer.<br />
'''Baldrick:''' Whim.<br />
'''Blackadder:''' "Whim". And the long answer?<br />
'''Baldrick:''' It was a whim, my lord. }}
* In an episode of ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'', Harry decided that clothes were a scam and spent the episode naked. He decided to put on an apron while frying... bacon or something, but frequently had to turn around, exposing his back to the grease. He turned back very fast.
