* The ''[[Calvin and Hobbes (Comic Strip)|Calvin and Hobbes]]'' strip quoted below has a subversion in which Calvin simply has a hole in his pocket, causing some of his pennies to drop down his leg.

== Films -- Animation ==
* ''[[The Iron Giant (Animation)|The Iron Giant]]'': Done with, indeed, a squirrel. (In fact, the character in question actually says the trope name while he's at it, perhaps making this film the actual [[Trope Namer]].)
{{quote| '''Dean McCoppin:''' Excuse me! I'd like to apologize to everyone in advance for this. ''(zips down his fly to let the squirrel out, which cause a loud commotion)'' [[Check, Please!]].}}
* The roach does this to robots in ''[[WALL-E]]''. Apparently, it tickles.
* Used early on in ''[[Ratatouille]]'', earning the victim some very funny looks. Though to be fair to the rodent in question, the victim ''did'' put him there on purpose.

* ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]''
** We give you one of the Greatest Hits from the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuZhOWMsqSg Songs of the Safari]" collection, the Jamaican Rap "Ants, Ants, Ants In My Pants".

Line 160:
** In the later seasons once Dil is introduced, he hides a duckling in his diaper. But his ''dancing'' is more like fidgeting since the duck is tickling him from inside it.
* ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Marge visits the police to get them to stop someone sending Bart threatening letters. Wiggum claims there's no law against it, at which point Lou hands him a book saying there is - and it's also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purpose of gambling. Cue Wiggum telling some cops in the next room to knock it off.
* Despite that [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal|he doesn't wear pants]], this happened to [[Donald Duck]] in 1942's ''Donald Gets Drafted'', in which he's standing over an ant hill, and the ants start climbing all over him. Despite his commanding officer, [[Big Bad|Pete]], telling him not to move, he naturally squirms uncontrollably.
* In the short "Baby Puss" from ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'', when Tom's friends harrass him for dressing up like a baby and changing his diaper. Shortly after changing him, one of his friends tosses a fish into his diaper, forcing him to fidget around and lead everyone into doing a congo-like dance.
* In the episode "Enter the Chipmunk" of ''[[Johnny Bravo (Animation)|Johnny Bravo]]'', Johnny accidentally invents a powerful fighting style which relies on the fighter letting a live chipmunk into his pants.
* Happens to Cruella with a jar of ants in ''[[Disney/One Hundred And One Dalmations|One Hundred And One Dalmations]]: The Series'', soon turning into an improvised conga line as everyone joins in behind her.
* On ''[[Jimmy Two Shoes (Animation)|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'', Jimmy delibritely invokes this trope to help him win a dance contest in "Dance Jimmy Dance". An earlier short had Jimmy appear to be dancing, but it turns out [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Bees|a bee was stinging him]].
* In ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball (Animation)|The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' episode "The Refund" the store manager, who turns out to be a tiny puppet does this to Richard while attacking him.
* ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'': happens to Dr. Scratchensniff twice in "The Monkey Song" first after Wakko pours a bucket of bugs down his pants, again when Pesto and Squit fall down into his clothes while fighting.
Line 171:
* Jake Long from ''[[American Dragon Jake Long (Animation)|American Dragon Jake Long]]'' is subjected to this trope while doing his test of wisdom in battle at the Isle of Draco. The chancellor assigning him his test of wisdom in battle chose brownies as the enemy. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* In the ''[[Catscratch (Animation)|Catscratch]]'' episode "Go Gomez,Go" Waffle's pet lizard gets loose then Tad finds out he went into his pants.
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy (Animation)|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]''
** Once in Flea Bitten Ed when Rolfs bunny's jump into Ed's jacket
** Lastly in Urban Ed when Ed tells Eddy to hold a worm, then puts it down his shirt
