Naked People Are Funny: Difference between revisions

'''The Bowler''': Maybe you should put some shorts on or something, if you want to keep fighting evil today. }}

* ''[[We Were Soldiers]]'', suprisingly enough. There is a delted scene where a soldier tells a story about a previous unit he was in, where their platoon commander, [[Ensign Newbie|fresh out of ROTC]], ordered all of his soldiers to put on all of their decorations so he could see what kind of men he was leading. He particularly gets in the face of the [[Old Soldier|big ugly scarred platoon Sergeant]]. The sergeant returns to the barracks, and comes back wearing ''only'' his combat boots, with his decorations ''[[Exact Words|pinned directly to his chest]]'', and wearing a Medal of Honor. The lieutenant, seeing the medal, is forced to salute the platoon sergeant.

 

== Literature ==

* Though he's not really a nudist, per se, when Zedd shows up in ''[[Sword of Truth|Wizard's First Rule]]'', he's on his Wizard's Rock stark naked; Kahlan reacts with shock, and Richard makes it clear this is a normal thing for him. He later suggests to a sorceress that she try it some time, though this is less about comedy and more about Zedd being a horny old man.

* When [[Codex Alera|Invidia Aquitaine]] is supremely [[Out-Gambitted]] by Amara, the latter leaves the former tied up naked in a forest, because: "The poisonous bitch deserved it." And she really does.

* In ''[[Redwall|Martin the Warrior]]'', the [[Big Bad]] Badrang cuts a random minion's belt when he finds himself needing a rope. The belt was holding up the kilt which was the only thing said minion was wearing, and he ends up with his fellow soldiers and the whole slave line laughing at him. Since they have fur, this [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|may not be as big a deal as usual]].

{{quote|'''Wes''': "I have ''so'' been set up."}}

 

* There is actually a show from the Ukraine called "Naked and Funny", which is a hidden camera show in the style of ''[[Candid Camera]]'', but often featuring public nudity played for laughs. It's also one of the many reasons to love Europe.

* ''[[Baywatch]]'' did this once, with the requisite random Baywatch girl who suddenly remembered she was really interested in this kind of stuff, even defending their rights against another, suitably offended Baywatch girl. Also had the crazy old naked man subtype, as well.

== Music ==

* The [[Ray Stevens]] song "The Streak".

* The video for Blink182's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7l5ZeVVoCA "What's my age again?"]

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* You get some funny remarks in ''[[Morrowind]]'' when you talk to people naked.

 

* ''[[The Bare Pit]]'' ([[NSFW]] if your workplace objects to naked people, otherwise pretty wholesome), originally titled ''Loxie and Zoot'', is an Australian webcomic that takes place at a nudist resort, now celebrating 10 years of online publication. Completely subverts the majority of the trope, although some of the more obvious storylines (a pervert with a camera, a prude trying to harass the resort, etc) are still used.

** The comic's creator even added his own Naked People Are Funny plot in its [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/thebarepit/thebarepit/series.php?view=single&ID=95066 longest storyline]—or rather, about six of them: A bump to the head causes Loxie's mother (a rather prudish, intolerant woman) to decide to join in. Because her daughter and son-in-law both know full well that once she comes to her senses she will regret it, they do their best to keep her dressed and hidden (and are failing miserably). Right afterwards, Loxie's prudish sister gets stuck at the resort, and upon falling asleep, goes sleepwalking (naked, of course). Loxie's nephews are using their mother's nap to sneak around trying to peep (and are failing miserably). Loxie's niece was suckered by another girl into going naked by wearing a wig to hide her identity (and is failing miserably). Loxie's father and brother in law are sneaking off to fish during all this (and are failing miserably). They most recently lost a "you gotta stay naked" vs "you gotta stay clothed" bet with some regulars, and are currently trying to evade a pissed off emu who isn't happy that they bailed out after losing (and are failing miserably). * phew* . At last count that makes 5 or 6 storylines going on all at once, all destined to fail at the exact same time, Benny Hill style.
