For hidden faces, see [[The Faceless]]. For bedtime Scenery Censor techniques, see [[Modesty Bedsheet]]. Related to [[Godiva Hair]] and [[Hand or Object Underwear]]. TV shows and movies (be they animated or live action) that use [[Shower Scene|bathing scenes]] usually rely on [[Censor Steam]] or [[Censor Suds]]. For cases in which an actress is pregnant but her character isn't, see [[Hide Your Pregnancy]].

Line 41:
** One of the Cartoon Network showings of ''DBZ'' had Gohan naked just after transforming back from a giant space monkey, being followed around by a cropped photo of a bonsai tree.
*** ''[[Dragonball]] Kai'' had Gohan's tail in place, including the Japanese version.
** To be fair, that was a group effort between [[
* ''[[Full Metal Panic]]''
** Parodied with singular joy in ''[[Full Metal Panic Fumoffu]]'''s [[Onsen Episode]]. It starts out subtly enough, with a peeping hole in the women's changing room being ''just'' out of focus of the girls' bits, or the logs in a fence being the right height to cover their breasts and crotch... but then you get increasingly absurd methods, like a ladybug flying from a nearby leaf, hands moving in synch with characters in the background, and ending up with Tessa slipping and falling spread-eagled on her rump, a rubber ducky covering her crotch from the camera (and her knees covering her breasts).
Line 102:
* Cloud, a [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|sentient cloud]] that could assume [[Gender Bender|either male or female human form]], used little cloud puffs to cover the genital and (in female form) breast areas, although it wasn't clear as to whether those parts of his/her anatomy were actually formed or just left nebulous.
* When [[Mercy Thompson]] shifts from coyote back to human, she ends up naked. The ''Mercy Thompson: Homecoming'' comic uses anything -- even shadows -- to cover up Mercy's breasts and genitals.
* In an televised interview, ''[[Alix]]'' author Jacques Martin notes that for an album, he always had to "cheat" for a barechested female character. Except for one dramatic scene where he couldn't do it without ruining the effect, so he snuck it to print before the editor noticed (it was probably for a [[Anthology Comic|weekly magazine]] like ''Le journal de [[Tintin (Comic Book)]]'' at the time).
* Birthday Girl in ''Knight and Squire'' is an [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] superheroine who is ''always'' naked, but also always surrounded by balloons. Except when she reports to the Knight, when her videophone image has a black bar across it labelled "Inappropriate".
* In one old issue of [[The Creeper]], Ryder had to [[It Makes Sense in Context|remove his "fake" Creeper suit to see if his real Creeper suit still worked]], and gets fully naked, having a shoe on the corner of a desk cover his bits.
Line 181:
** Lwaxana Troi would have discretion shots of the neck up. This was used on Seven of Nine several times.
** When Captain Picard was captured and tortured by Cardassians, his naked form was hidden from the audience by the room just being really, really dark. For the record, Patrick Stewart really did film that scene in the buff, although he requested a closed set.
* ''[[Star Trek Voyager (TV)|Star Trek Voyager]]'': When [[Ms. Fanservice]] Seven of Nine was posing nude for the holographic Doctor in [[Kiss Me, I'm Virtual|one of his fantasies]]. Argh!
* ''[[MASH]]'':
** Similarly, Gary Burghoff's withered left hand was concealed throughout ''M*A*S*H''.
Line 208:
== Music Videos ==
* [[Played With]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hySoCSoH-g8 this] music video.
* This is almost ridiculous in the music video for AKB48's song "Ponytail and Scrunchy": the girls head into the locker room after some sports session, and they are constantly obscured by random towels, locker doors opening, shampoo bottles, etc. Only, there's some random chihuahua that ''just happened'' to wander in without them noticing, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|panting heavily while he watches]]. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Lucky dog...]] (You can see the video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwXtaahxjls&feature=related here]).
Line 229:
** During the final song showing the various nations contributing their energy to help reheat the sun (its a weird game, just go with it) there a quick scene where we there a very nude statue in background, one of the contributors pump his fist blocking the view as we see an energy beam firing from the... lower regions.
** In the same game, "[[Hot Springs Episode|Go My Way]]"'s highest difficulty features the cheergirls bathing. During the zoom in before the countdown, you get to see Sayaka (the leader) topless... except her breasts are covered by [[Painting the Fourth Wall|the gap between the DS screens]]. Exactly ''how'' did Nintendo let this stuff slip by?
* At the start of the ending anime to ''[[Xenogears (Video Game)|Xenogears]]'' Fei and Elly are trapped naked in a sort of empty parallel dimension and must run towards the point of contact with their own world. The characters glow with a faint aura when standing around (as the camera strategically bounces around) but during their run, while the camera pans with them from the side, Fei in the lead somehow always manages to conceal himself with the leg nearest the camera whereas Elly a few steps behind has her entire torso glow with obscuring light. Then subverted in the next scene when their [[White
* At the beginning of the SNES version of ''[[Terminator]] 2: Judgment Day'', we see a demo of the main character walking around naked on his way to a house, with his private area being censored by fences, trucks, and even motorcycles (however, once the Start button is pressed, it bypasses the whole scene). [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] even lampshades this.
Line 302:
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'':
** An unusual case of this when SpongeBob decides to shrink clothing and return to nature. Various objects cover the lower part of his body, as usual, but proceed to cover less and less over the course of the episode, until it becomes clear that there's really nothing there ''to'' cover.
** In another episode, Squidward goes crazy while he's taking a bath and runs to the Krusty Krab with bubbles covering him. Eventually, he looks down and we see a close up shot of the area directly above his legs, and all the bubbles pop except one. SpongeBob gives him his pants to save him from being completely nude. However, the [[Fridge Logic]] comes in when you realize that Squidward [[Half
** In another episode, Squidward rips off his Kuddly Krabs uniform and a policefish instantly appears and puts a ticket right where you'd expect only, once again, Squidward never wears pants anyway...
** Again pulled off inconsistently in a late episode, this time with Sandy. Sandy sheds her pelt in order to take a shower and Plankton [[Gone Swimming Clothes Stolen|takes it]] in order to [[Dressing As the Enemy|disguise himself]]. Sandy is very clearly wearing her regular bikini throughout, but the framing and object placement (and various characters) occasionally seem to think that she isn't.
Line 308:
** Which is a reference to the scene in ''[[Heavy Metal (Animation)|Heavy Metal]]'' where the female warrior armors up in pretty much the same fashion.
* The climax of the second season finale of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' (making it the fourth ''Justice League'' finale overall) ends with {{spoiler|Luthor}} left lying on the ground naked, with his naughty bits just barely blocked off by Flash's legs. (This soon makes for an odd scheme where {{spoiler|Supes almost strangles a naked Luthor}}.)
* ''[[Superman:
** After Supergirl is seriously injured both by a brainwashed Superman and soldiers armed with Kryptonite guns. When she's brought to Star Labs for medical treatment... hello conveniently positioned medical equipment.
** Same thing later happens to Galatea. And considering Galatea is basically the DCAU version of [[Ms. Fanservice|Power Girl]]...
