Take Off Your Clothes: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'': Hermione tells Ron and Harry to do just this in book 7. It is simply because they would draw too much attention to themselves out in the Muggle world in their robes. (She has spare clothes in her Bag of Holding). The clothes she's telling them to take off aren't just robes, they're dress robes, since they had fled from Bill and Fleur's wedding reception.

* Another version occurs in [[Robert Heinlein]]'s novel ''[[Friday (novel)|Friday]]''.

** Of course, he is {{spoiler|her (adoptive) father.}} Then again, given that this is late [[Robert Heinlein|Heinlein]], perhaps that does not mean much.

* A scene from Emily Rodda's ''[[Rowan of Rin]]'' counts. Strong Jonn, Marlie, and Rowan just swam through an underground ice-cold lake, and on the other side Marlie is all businesslike about, "Let's change clothes immediately so we don't get sick." -- but Rowan just utterly refuses. Marlie's astounded by this: the whole crux of the plot is about overcoming fear, and they've been through X number of horribly frightening things so far, and how can Rowan think this is a big deal? But Strong Jonn knowingly tells Marlie to turn her back so that modesty can be preserved. It's a really cute scene.

== Live-Action TV ==

* In an episode of ''[[Friends]]'', Joey asks for one of the girls to remove her bra (after first asking who had the biggest breasts). It turns out he wants a piece of wire to pop the lock on a car door -- they were locked out and it was snowing.

* ''[[Babylon 5]]'': In one scene, Ivanova walks into a slum clinic run by Dr. Franklin, and Franklin, without turning around, tells her to start by removing all her clothes. Ivanova replies by asking for flowers and a dinner first.

* There's one in ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' when McKay, Carter and Dr. Keller are trapped in an abandoned mine: McKay suggests that everyone disrobe so they can make a rope by tying their clothes together. Keller is about to comply... then Carter produces a coil of actual rope which was in one of the boxes. And earlier, he suggested that Carter flash some young boys who are standing at the edge of the hole in order to get them to help.

* A girl-to-girl example is Erika and Kimiko in [http://megatokyo.com/strip/913 this] ''[[Megatokyo]]'' strip. Kimiko's expression in panel three says it all.

* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' has an example of this:

'''Reynardine:''' Do not finish this sentence if you know what's good for you, ''boy''. }}

* [http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2006.htm This strip] from ''[[Arthur, King of Time and Space]]''. Although Nimue doesn't think Merlin means it ''that'' way; she just doesn't have a nudity taboo.
