Line 25:
* Some of the dresses in ''[[Twenty Seven Dresses (Film)|Twenty Seven Dresses]]'' are considered this.
* The costume department of 2011 movie ''[[Killing Bono]]'' clearly went to town in showcasing the absolute ''worst'' fashions of [[The Eighties]].
* In ''[[One Hundred and One101 Dalmatians (Disney)|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', particularly the live-action adaptation and its sequel starring Glenn Close, Cruella's outfits are monstrously over-the-top and shock anyone who sees them - but nobody is brave enough to confront her about it. Cruella is in search of the "perfect" fur coat, and is convinced that it must be made from the skins of the titular dalmatian puppies.
* Stanley Ipkiss' pajamas in ''[[The Mask (Film)|The Mask]]'' - one even inspires Lt. Kellaway to use [[Bat Deduction]] to conclude he is the title character.
{{quote| '''Stanley:''' This is... impossible!<br />

'''Buffy:''' That's because the dress is radioactive. }}
* ''Benny Hill'' did a skit in which he was wearing a impossible tacky suit and he's strutting around,then they show a scarecrow wearing the same suit.
* While the outfit worn by Six in [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] was the subject of much fan derision, it actually got an [[In Universe]] nod in "[[Big Finish Doctor Who (Radio)/027 The One Doctor/Recap|Big Finish Doctor Who]]", when Banto calls on how ridiculous The Doctor looks in it.
** Also referenced in ''Short Trips and Side Steps'', with the mind-manipulating Javaman stating flatly that there are only a handful of beings in the known universe to dress as tastelessly.
* Paul Merton frequently wears these on ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' (the rest of the time he wears a [[Fun T-Shirt]]). Once lampshaded when Paul wore a bright pink shirt with a yellow-gold dragon design on one shoulder.
