* Despite this being fairly common in ''[[Cutey Honey]]'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZTNAhYP2A4&_helmeo just watch the intro]), [[Fan Service]] wasn't the focus of the original series. That's what ''New Cutey Honey'' was for.
** The intros to later iterations often played with this. The intro for ''New'' did in fact have similar censoring (usually using visual effects) until the very end, while one part in ''Re:'' parodies the original by having one of the checkered hands ''peeking'' (though Honey catches it and covers herself).
* ''[[Ghost in The Shell|GITS:SAC 2nd Gig]]'': The Major shows more than her usual skin when she's staying overnight in a Taiwanese hotel with a kid from the [[Gang -Bangers|refugee gangs]]. She enters the room naked, covering her breasts with a towel draped over her shoulders, then when she slips into bed a ceiling cam view is obscured by the overhead lighting fixture.
* Oddly subverted in the somewhat obscure OVA ''[[My Dear Marie]]''. There are times when this would happen to characters, such as one point where a character is sitting, and his head would block the view of another character's nipples. In the third episode, however, the eponymous Marie, a [[Robot Girl]], was given the ability to dream and had this same scene. The camera was inexplicably moved a few inches to the left, giving full view of one of her nipples. Apparently nudity is okay as long as it's on robots.
* ''[[Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple]]'' does this sometimes, usually involving [[Ms. Fanservice|Shigure]].

== Fan Works ==
* Hanyuu and Yuki's linked hands [[Discussed Trope|would have prevented anyone watching from the doorway]] from seeing Kyon's "most interesting areas" in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]''.
* Most of the time [[Watchmen|Dr. Manhattan]] is shown in ''[[I'm a Marvel And Im ADC]]'' is from the waist up. The reason is obvious.
 
Line 159:
** The show regularly engages in the "non-naughty" variant: Jason David Frank was not allowed to wear short-sleeved shirts in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'', though he regularly wore tank tops in earlier seasons. The reason? He'd gotten several tattoos on his arms in the intervening years. Likewise, one of the actors on ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'' always wears gloves to cover a tattoo on his hand. Superheroes aren't allowed to have tattoos.
** SPD's original version, ''[[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Dekaranger]]'', used this one a lot too, especially since the Pink Ranger loved taking baths, requiring very, very lucky groupings of bubbles. (In one episode, this was played with a bit by having the new, male addition to the team cheat her out of her bathtime, whereupon the same bubbles covered his same areas).
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''
** Aversion: [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Third Doctor]] (Jon Pertwee) clearly had a snake tattoo on his arm which showed up from time to time. There was no way to defend the Third Doctor's having this, nor did the writers even try. (Although some rather desperate [[Fanon]] claims it's a Time Lord prison-brand, marking him as an exile).
** In the new ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', after a pair of (parody) robot TV show hosts hit Captain Jack Harkness with a defabricator ray, which does [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]], his naughty bits are concealed from the camera by a strategically placed... TV camera. When the robots confirm that he is, indeed, naked in front of millions of viewers, he announces, "Ladies, your viewing figures just went up."
** The scene from "Blink" where Sally meets Lawrence. That counter is rather convenient.

Line 194:
* ''[[Forever Knight (TV)|Forever Knight]]''. In a point-of-view shot, vampire detective Nick Knight raises his badge just in time to block our view of a stripper's below-the-neck-area as she turns to face him. This scene was used in the opening title sequence for the series, [[Fan Service|for obvious reasons]].
* In the ''[[Chuck]]'' episode "Chuck versus the Beefcake", there's Morgan, in Ellie & Awesome's kitchen. He's holding a large bowl of fruit to hide his groin. Somewhat a subversion, as if one closely examines the bowl of fruit, one sees a banana and two fuzzy kiwi fruits are humorously positioned.
* During the pilot episode of ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', while [[Robot Girl|Cameron]] is [[Full -Frontal Assault|beating the crap out of a group of drunken guys while naked]], at one point she turns toward the camera at an angle that would have flashed her entire upper body, but any naughty bits are blocked by the arm of one of the men she's beating up on.
* The ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' "Full Frontal Nudity" animation has a succession on increasingly absurd objects blocking the crotches of naked women, leading up to a passing train and then a multi-car pileup.
* ''[[The Daily Show]]'': Jon Stewart speaks of the [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-february-15-2001/hearts-of-darkness Beach of Strategically Placed Objects.]
Line 304:
** In another episode, Squidward goes crazy while he's taking a bath and runs to the Krusty Krab with bubbles covering him. Eventually, he looks down and we see a close up shot of the area directly above his legs, and all the bubbles pop except one. SpongeBob gives him his pants to save him from being completely nude. However, the [[Fridge Logic]] comes in when you realize that Squidward [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|never wears pants anyway]]...
** In another episode, Squidward rips off his Kuddly Krabs uniform and a policefish instantly appears and puts a ticket right where you'd expect only, once again, Squidward never wears pants anyway...
** Again pulled off inconsistently in a late episode, this time with Sandy. Sandy sheds her pelt in order to take a shower and Plankton [[Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen|takes it]] in order to [[Dressing As the Enemy|disguise himself]]. Sandy is very clearly wearing her regular bikini throughout, but the framing and object placement (and various characters) occasionally seem to think that she isn't.
* At the beginning of ''[[Justice League (Animation)|Justice League]]'', when Diana (a.k.a. Wonder Woman) steals the Amazonian armor that becomes her costume, she takes off a cloak and judging from what is seen, appears to be wearing nothing as she proceeds to put the armor on.
** Which is a reference to the scene in ''[[Heavy Metal (Animation)|Heavy Metal]]'' where the female warrior armors up in pretty much the same fashion.
