Line 29:
** This happens to Jon fairly frequently. Once Garfield locked him out while he was wearing his bunny footie pajamas, and at least one other time while in a bathrobe.
* ''[[Liberty Meadows]]'' Jen seduces and strips Frank, only to toss him outside and lock the door leading to a number of awkward and embarrassing situations.
* [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] heroine Jean Grey's bouts with the Dark Phoenix occasionally led to her clothes being burned off, such as in the original [[Dark Phoenix Saga]], outside her childhood home no less.
* A "Lighter Side of..." strip in ''[[Mad Magazine]]'' had a woman get locked outside in her underwear. Forced to go across town to get the spare key from her mother, she jogs alongside her friend and nobody bats an eyelid, assuming that it is jogging outfit.
Line 35:
== Films -- Live Action ==
* Something similar happens in the infamous French [[Made for TV Movie]] ''La Venus A Lulu''. Lulu, a nudist, is sleeping in a camper trailer when her husband stops to change a tire. Thinking she's arrived at the clothing-optional resort they are going to visit, she sleepwalks out into the countryside, where she falls back asleep. She spends the rest of the film [[Naked People Are Funny|hiding from people in the altogether]] (with a plotting little boy acting like he doesn't understand her pleas for clothes) while her mere presence in the village advances the plot—namely, the little boy finally grows up, the village baker finally works things out with his wife, etc., etc. Oh, and [[Scenery Censor]] is completely and utterly averted.
* There's a scene in ''[[Yi Yi]]'' in which a man is locked out of his house in his underwear after an argument with his wife, and he has to stay overnight at his former girlfriend's place (who relished the irony).
* This happens to Donna Reed in ''[[It's a Wonderful Life]]''.
* In ''[[Roxanne]]'', Roxanne gets locked outside in her bathrobe, but her bathrobe is caught in the door. She has to go for help naked. She is briefly seen [[Hand or Object Underwear|covering her breasts and crotch with her arm and hand]].
Line 45:
* A rather squicky example: ''Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde'' includes a scene where the protagonist [[Gender Bender|reverts to his male self]] while his [[Femme Fatale|female self]] is trying to seduce his boss. She hastily retreats into the bathroom before the transformation is complete, where he finds himself in skimpy lingerie and tries to exit via the window. The lingerie gets ripped off when he falls from the windowsill.
* The protagonist of ''[[An American Werewolf in London]]'' wakes up from his first transformation stark naked in the London Zoo's wolf enclosure. The wolves aren't fazed, but David has to dodge or fast-talk his way across half of London, stealing whatever [[Hand or Object Underwear|Object Underwear]] he can, to get back to Nurse Price's flat.
* The female lead of ''[[I Love Trouble]]'', played by Julia Roberts, goes skinny dipping at one point and is then photographed by a group of boyscouts after she emerges nude from the lake.
* ''[[The Hairy Bird]]'': A few of the boys from St. Ambrose Academy are stripped, bound, and gagged by the Flat Critters.
Line 55:
== Literature ==
* In ''[[The Name of the Wind]]'', Kvothe fakes this trope—he's been living as a beggar and he just came into some money, and he figures that pretending to be a nobleman who got his clothing stolen is easier than pretending to be a noble while wearing any clothing that he owns.
* [[Puss in Boots]] did the same with his owner.
* In the famous 1920s Soviet satirical novel ''[[The Twelve Chairs]]'', a character runs out of his flat naked (he was taking a bath), and the door slams shut.
Line 80:
* On ''[[30 Rock]]'', Jenna tried to get revenge on Frank and Toofer in the same manner as the ''Gossip Girl'' example. Frank fell for it, but Toofer was [[Genre Savvy]].
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Barney, Ted and Lily all try to sleep with their respective partners/one-night-stands by pulling a move known as 'the Naked Man', in which they wait naked for their target, who is then compelled to have sex with them. Ted and Lily both succeed... and Barney is kicked out of his hook-up's apartment completely naked, in the middle of the night, in the streets of New York. He actually has an opportunity to put some clothes on when he comes across a rack of on-sale suits on the street, but deems them too low-quality, preferring to remain naked.
* In one episode of ''[[Mad About You]]'', Jamie was wearing a towel in a Women's Gym locker room. Another woman gave her the wrong directions and she walked out the fire exit. Meanwhile, Paul was experamenting with Viagra. And for some reason they decided to meet at the top of the Empire State Building.
* Jeremy from ''[[Misfits]]''. He's sort of a werewolf (okay...he doesn't change physically into a wolf, he changes ''mentally'' into a ''dog'', so even if he could possibly be classified as a werewolf he's still [[Super Loser|the lamest one who ever lived]]) and he wakes up naked in the street on a regular basis. Sadly, he gets found by his exceptionally unsympathetic step-son:

Line 102:
== Video Games ==
* In ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]],'' this is how Mario first meets party member Kooper the Koopa. An army of [[Small Annoying Creature|Fuzzies]] have invaded Koopa Village, and they've stolen Kooper's shell. He hides behind a bush until you reclaim it for him, at which point he joins you.
Line 113:
== Western Animation ==
* In an episode of ''[[The Fairly
** He is promptly mistaken for the [[Kid Hero]] "Naked Lad" by the people at the comic book store.
* This apparently happened to Apu off camera in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "The Day the Violence Died". It apparently got him arrested, but {{spoiler|two kids called Lester and Elisa (who creepily resemble the original drawings of Bart and Lisa) got him out}}.
Line 130:
== Real Life ==
* [[Truth in Television]]. Happens often in hotels and on cruise ships, where the door locks automatically behind you when you step out. Many a guest popping out to set out his room service has found himself outside in the nude or in underwear without a key card. Naturally, this is made into a running gag in the video game ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]] 7: Love for Sail''.
* Also a rather common occurrence in college dormitories, where one roommate is in the shower sans key and the other, assuming the first gone, asleep, or otherwise with their key, leaves and locks the door...
** Quite common even where students don't share rooms, if you happen to be unlucky enough to have room doors that lock themselves upon being closed. Not funny.
* Suddenly realizing you're naked in public is a standard plotline for dreams of personal insecurity and humiliation.
