{{trope}}
[[File:missing swim trunks 7625.jpg|frame|...um, sir?]]
A character performs an impressive dive into a lake, swimming pool, or other body of water. The audience is amazed at the diver's prowess... so why are they staring and covering their children's eyes?
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
A subtrope of [[Wardrobe Malfunction]].
{{examples}}
== Advertising ==
* A Hope cigarette commercial features a pool scene, which starts off with one bikini-clad girl diving into the pool. Seconds later, her top is shown floating on the water, and at the end of the commercial, same girl is shown, in the pool, covering her bare chest with her arms, with a dismayed look on her face, and then ducking into the water.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
== Comic Books ==
* Seen in a strip of ''[[Spinoff Babies|Le Petit]] [[Spirou and Fantasio|Spirou]]''. Spirou and his friend Cassius are at the beach, waiting to get into the water by counting the waves. On cue, the 75th is bigger than the others, stripping the girls from their class as well as their [[Hot Teacher]] from their swimsuits—at which point the boys jump in with diving mask and snorkel to see underwater.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130307151238/http://www.renaud-bray.com/ImagesEditeurs/PG/1060/1060187-gf.jpg This cover] for the ''[[Spirou and Fantasio|Spirou]]'' compilation #309, with characters from the French-Canadian comic ''Les Nombrils''.
* [[Invoked]] in the [[Beach Episode|Beach Issue]] of ''Mazing Man''. Guido gets a bunch of girls in bikinis to go into the water with him and flap their arms, because at least one of their tops will come off. It happens all right—to the ugly chick. Cue [[In-Universe]] [[Squick]].
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* Happens to Lucius on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'', because he loaded his swimsuit with stolen pirate gold.
* Mentioned in an episode of ''[[Clifford the Big Red Dog|Clifford's Puppy Days]]'', where Nina says her swimsuit fell off during a dive because it was too big.
* In the ''[[Scaredy Squirrel]]'' episode "Mr. Perfect Balsa", Paddy's swim briefs slide off after Scaredy pulls a prank on him.
== Real Life ==
* This is the primary reason that female surfers tend to wear tank suits (and male surfers sometimes wish they could).
* Actress [[Jayne Mansfield]] orchestrated her discovery this way. She untied her bikini top as she was diving into the pool at the launch party for the Jane Russell film ''Underwater!''. She emerged topless and feigning embarassment, upstaging Jane Russell at her own event. As the pool was surrounded by reporters and photographers, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|she made quite a splash]] and got a contract with a major studio within a week.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110221234536/http://www.spike.com/blog/how-to-make-girls/84496 The "Get Naked Bikini"]. (Link SFW... barely)
* Several competition swimmers with Jaked brand swimsuits have had the suit rip in the posterior area before or during a swim.
