Line 22:
* Funnily enough, despite [[Fundamentally Female Cast|the prominence of females]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', the first one to get the skintight leather pants treatment is Tohma, the male protagonist of ''Force'', while he's using the [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Black Knight form]]. Females tend to get skintight bodysuits instead.
* ''[[Saiyuki]]'' contains a male example.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* In one ''[[Nikolai Dante]]'' story, Lulu wears a form of latex that is literally painted on.
* Alex Mack's "Terawatt" costume in ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'', while not restrictive, is built around a leotard design. However, the only way someone can actually put it on is ''if they can turn into a liquid and flow into it'', as Alex can. It is essentially all one piece, and as Terawatt notes to a group of cosplayers, the real thing has no zippers or fasteners -- one good way to tell a fake from the real thing.

Line 44 ⟶ 45:
* Superskin, a bodystocking that fits like a second skin in [[Robert Heinlein]]'s ''Friday''.

* Eric Estrada of ''[[CHiPs]]'' admitted the costumers sewed in extra zippers on his pants at strategic places.
* Half the cast in ''[[Blake's 7
* Jenny, the Doctor's daughter in the new ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
** River Song is also fond of pants very similar to the ones in page picture, even managing to run and fight in them.
* Kurt Hummel from ''[[Glee]]''. His pants are sometimes so ridiculously tight you have to wonder how he can even walk in them at times. And he ''does'' do high kicks in them. Check out both 'Rose's Turn' and 'Time Warp' for proof.
* In another male example, Dr. Spencer Reid of [[Criminal Minds]] sometimes wears pants that show off his long legs and assets.

Line 68 ⟶ 67:

* Steve Perry of [[Journey (band)|Journey]] wears these in the "Just The Same Way" music video.
== [[Theater]] ==
Line 74 ⟶ 72:
** [[Forbidden Broadway]]'s ''Rent'' parody included a song called "Ouch, They're Tight!"
* In ''[[The Rose Tattoo]]'', Serafina examines her daughter's sailor boyfriend from the front and back and asks him why they make Navy pants so tight. "That's a question you'll have to ask the Navy," he tells her.
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* Popular in [[Professional Wrestling]], for both male and female wrestlers. This occasionally comes up for characters who are homages to wrestlers as well (such as Hugo from [[Street Fighter]]).
