Shirtless Scene/Playing With
Basic Trope: A scene where the male character is temporarily topless.
- Straight: Bill takes his shirt off for one scene.
- Exaggerated: Bill and several male characters are shirtless simultaneously.
- Justified: He removed his shirt because it was literally too hot for him to keep it on.
- He removed his shirt because he was about to cannonball into the swimming pool.
- Inverted: A Walking Shirtless Scene character puts a shirt on for a single scene.
- Every male character except for Bill is a Walking Shirtless Scene.
- Subverted: Bill removes his shirt, only to reveal another shirt underneath of it...
- Double Subverted: ...and then he takes that shirt off, too.
- Parodied: Bill took his shirt on because it was on fire.
- Averted: All male characters keep their shirts on.
- Enforced: Avoid the Dreaded G Rating
- Lampshaded: "Nice pecs," "Nice six-pack," "AAAAAAAHHHH! *faints*" and so on.
- Invoked: Alice tears Bill's shirt off to reveal that he's actually an alien from a far-away galaxy
- Defied: Bill refuses to take his shirt off for anything.
