* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' plays with this trope in a few episodes.

** Shinji, panicked and shocked by discovering a [[Everything Is Better With Penguins|penguin]] in the bathtub, confronts his new roommate Misato while he is still undressed. As he rants, his "naughty bits" are hidden by a beer can on the table in the foreground. During the conversation that ensues, Misato picks up the can, revealing that Shinji's modesty is still defended -- by [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a much smaller container clearly labeled "toothpicks"]]. {{media|kerai/1139987684110.jpg| Click here}} for image.

** In ''Rebuild 2.0.'', the above scene is repeated with Asuka instead of Shinji, and when Misato picks up the can this time, a smaller cup with a straw sits, blocking her. That still doesn't stop Shinji from seeing Asuka naked, whose reaction was... well, [[Megaton Punch|not good]].

** Episode 5 has Shinji walk in on Rei just after she got out of the shower. After Shinji knocks her down and she drops her towel, a desk lamp in the foreground keeps her breasts obscured until she gets dressed. In the ''Rebuild'' version of this scene, Rei's nipples are clearly visible just before she gets up off the floor. Then there are there are all of the times when Rei gets in her cloning tube. Naked.

* Subverted in ''[[Devil May Cry]]''; Dante has a sword which appears to cover the a poster of an apparently topless woman; he takes it off, and strategically blocks the view of it, but right before the "camera" changes angles, it is revealed that the woman's breasts were covered (by stars, but still). Later games in the series mysteriously include a bra in the same poster.

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 2'':

** Played with, possibly as a homage to the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' toothpick scene. Raiden is stripped of his clothes towards the end, and has to run around preserving his modesty -- he can, however, press himself to the torture rack he was originally strapped to. He reverts to an arms-stretched out pose, and the camera changes view -- to behind a drinks can, the {{media|raidensoda.jpg| close-up protruding straw}} completely preserving Raiden's dignity. There's also a hilarious moment when, if he's seen by an enemy soldier, Raiden can retreat to the rack and press himself against it to fool the soldier, who looks on in ''envy'' and says, "I wish I had that..." before leaving.

** If you pay attention, at some point during this whole sequence, there's a frame or two where Raiden's dangly bits ''aren't'' covered... but his character model doesn't ''have'' [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|dangly bits]]... (as evidenced when he does sideflips). In ''The Document of MGS2'', you can pause and move the camera around freely in any cutscene, including the one in the torture chamber. This allows you to get a full view of Raiden's (lack of) privates.

** In the cutscenes before the section of running around naked, the camera stays clear of Raiden's lower half while he's strapped to the torture bed. One shot has the camera zoom out, with Olga stepping into the frame maintaining Raiden's cover.
