Nudity is one of the last great taboos, particularly in the United States. Whereas it's OK to show violence, blood, and to a certain extent "hate speech" on TV, a tiny bit of nudity will cause an outright scandal. Just ask [[Wardrobe Malfunction|Janet Jackson and her "nip slip"]], which got more attention then the show she was putting on at the time, despite its sexually suggestive content that some say bordered on sexual assault by her co-star.

 

Contrast [[Full-Frontal Assault]]. For "Hollywood Nudism", see [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] (''Clueless'' about the Nudity Taboo) and / or [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]] (Doesn't ''Care'' about the Nudity Taboo). Has [[I Thought It Meant|nothing to do with]] a nudity-oriented ''People Are Funny''.

 

* Tōru from ''[[My Hero Academia]]'' is an [[Invisible Streaker]] version. In fact Tōru was going to be a dude until the [[mangaka]] thought it would be funnier if she was a girl.

* [[Go Nagai]] surely is the earliest example in manga. He started the trend with ''[[Harenchi Gakuen]]'' and he used the trope in most of his works: ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' (in one episode several characters strip themselves for not apparent reason), ''[[Cutey Honey]]'', ''[[Devilman]]'' (sometimes), ''[[Dororon Enma-kun]]'', ''[[Kekko Kamen]]''...

** Then there's also a scene in [[Rush Hour]] where he and Chris Tucker don't reach the same nakedness level while fighting their rivals in a bath house, but end up thrown out butt naked.

* In ''Da Ali G Movie'', Ali has cuffed both his hands to the railing of his local city hall to protest the closing of his favorite community center. The rival gang takes the opportunity to come by and pull down his pants, as he can't do a damn thing about it. [[It Gets Worse]].

* The bath scene in Disney's ''[[Mulan]]''. Beginning with Mulan nearly getting caught out by three fellow soldiers, continuing with Mulan being completely freaked out by the three ugly naked men in far too close proximity...[[It Got Worse|and then the over-the-top payoff when]], upon lamenting she never wants to see another naked man again, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|the ENTIRE ARMY stampedes nude into the river]].

* ''[[The Rugrats Movie]]'': The scene where Dil pulls down Tommy's diaper showing his behind. His diaper usually slips down while he talks to his friends.
