Line 21:
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (
* As seen in the pic, one of the demons in ''[[
* In ''[[
** The Arrancar Pesh keeps his sword {{spoiler|ULTIMAA!!!}} down the front of his <s>pants</s> loincloth, and massively [[Squick|squicks]] [[Mad Scientist]] Szayel Aporro Grantz in the process. That's quite an accomplishment, given how disgusting most of what Szayel does is.
* ''[[Buso Renkin]]'''s Papillon has the disturbing tendecy to pull whatever item he needs out of his butterfly speedos, ranging from a key to {{spoiler|his kakugane}} to even a second copy of his costume, and of course various copies of his trademark butterfly mask.
Line 30:
* In ''[[Potemayo]]'', Guchuko can store corncobs, snakes and whatnot in her underwear. She also keeps her battle-axe there when she's not using it.
* The titular ''[[Mysterious Girlfriend X]]'' does this with one or two pairs of scissors, but they're more "holstered" than "hidden" in her underwear (or bikini bottom, if it's summer).
* Bulma in ''[[
** Which is weird, because he once beat a smelly opponent due to his lack of a nose (though he assumed he could smell Bacterian in the past oddly)
** Another (slightly more innocent) version has Krillin saying "It doesn't smell at all" while seeming somewhat surprised. Bulma replies "Why should it?"
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', Italy has pulled at least once a pair of boxers... out from his own pair.
* Shuichi in the ''[[Gravitation]]'' manga apparently keeps an important photo Yuki gave him close to, uh, his important member. This causes an awkward moment when Yuki, who wants to fully explain the significance of the photo to him, has to stuff his hand down his pants to retrieve it.
* Excel from ''[[Excel Saga (
* An amateur filmmakers in ''[[Planetes]]'' making a movie on a space station without authorization has all of equipment confiscated, and has to resort to a backup camera he stored in his pants.
* In the first episode of ''[[Trigun]]'', the strap on Millie's "stun gun" breaks and it falls on the floor from where it's concealed. She's wearing a very voluminous cloak and later on she's revealed to be wearing a shirt, tie, and slacks underneath, but it's nonetheless a rather alarming sight. Not least because what she terms a "stun gun" is the size of a minigun that fires ammo which appears to have been made on the assumption that the "stun" they were shooting for was "clobber into submission".
* In the G8 filler of ''[[
{{quote| '''Zoro''': Didn't it feel funny down there?<br />
'''Luffy''': Down where? }}
* ''[[Sexy Commando]]''
* In one chapter of ''[[
** Though the anime team did choose to actually depict just where Light stashed Misa's Death Note when he had to "hold" it. In the manga, it was implied he strapped it to himself with a corset. In the anime, well...
*** It's the place to keep your [[Artifact of Doom]] [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]!
* In ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', a Zeon soldier captured in White Base criticized his captors for not making a proper cavity search before taking out a piece of metal from his mouth and a cord from inside his pants.
** ''[[Gundam Wing]]'''s Heero Yuy occasionally keeps a handgun tucked into the rear waistband of his [[Sensual Spandex|spandex shorts]]. Considering the [[Yaoi Fangirl|fandom]] the series attracted, one can imagine [[Ass Shove|the jokes that were made]] before this was revealed.
* ''[[Black Butler
* ''[[FLCL]]'': Haruko seems to be able to fit her Rickenbacker bass guitar inside her underwear. That, a giant boxing glove on a spring and who knows what else...
* [[Puni Puni Poemi|Poemi]] roots around in the front of her skirt for rather long, with her arm rather far in, before she pulls out her pager.
Line 67:
'''Sol:''' You're not from this planet are you, Vincent? Who is gonna mug two black fellas, who're holding pistols, while sitting in a car that's worth less than your shirt?!! }}
** And then right after this, a different gangster who is after the diamond taps on the window of their car with his [[Hand Cannon|Desert Eagle]]. It turns out [[Trouser Space]] actually keeps the diamond hidden a little longer.
* ''[[Bram
* Lampshaded and parodied in ''Lean on Me'', where one high school character imitates the Principal's demeanor while unlocking a door. He reaches into his beltline, finds something, and says "ooh, thats not the key".
* ''[[The Sting]]''. Johnny Hooker demonstrates trouser space when suggesting that a money courier should hide his money there. {{spoiler|This was a trick. During the demonstration, Hooker switched the courier's money for a wad of plain paper.}}
* ''[[The Mask (
* In ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', Jeff Portnoy is [[Naked People Are Funny|in just his underpants]] during an intense firefight. He reaches into said underpants, and after struggling for a moment [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|pulls out a pistol and fires a bunch of blanks]].
* [[The Emperor's New Groove
* In ''3 Dev Adam'', El Santo never '''pulls''' an overly-large object out of his wrestling shorts. However, he does stuff much of Spider-Man's lair into the front of them during his search. [[Lampshaded]] in a review by website ''I-Mockery'' when El Santo carries around ''a'' corpse of Spider-Man, the reviewer comments that El Santo must have ran out of room to stuff him in.
* In ''[[Cloudy
* ''City Heat''. In the final shootout [[Clint Eastwood]] and Burt Reynolds keep producing larger pistols in an attempt to both shoot the mooks and one-up each other. [[Dirty Harry|Clint naturally has the biggest gun]], an absurdly long-barreled revolver which he pulls out of his trousers.
* Similarly, In ''[[Batman (
* ''Let's Get Harry'' (1986). A group of construction workers, financed by a gung-ho businessman and advised by a mercenary, go down to Columbia to rescue a colleague. The mercenary, who's given them strict instructions not to try bringing guns into the country, walks into their hotel room, grabs the businessman by the crotch and says, "I want you to give me this." While the others are gaping at this apparent [[Ho Yay]], the businessman gives a shamefaced grin and produces a 9mm pistol from his underpants.
* ''[[The Magic Voyage]]'': During Christopher Columbus' [[Dream Sequence
== Literature ==
* In the ''[[
* In ''Vladimir Mayakovsky'''s "My Soviet Passport" the character gets a passport out of his trousers. The original poem actually said ''"out of my wide trouser-legs"''. The contents of the trousers eventually became a subject for lots of [[Memetic Mutation]] in Russia.
== Live Action TV ==
* In an episode of ''[[
* A running gag in ''[['Allo 'Allo
** Also batteries, sticks of dynamite, rolled-up copies of valuable paintings, batteries disguised as sausages, sticks of dynamite disguised as sausages, valuable paintings and copies thereof rolled up and stored inside sausages, the same stored inside baguettes... Are we getting the idea, here?
* Gaius Baltar has done this in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]''. Played totally straight, even with a strip search.
Line 96:
* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode, "The Runaway Bride". Donna is forced to [[Lampshade Hanging|hang a lampshade]] on how The Doctor manages to carry around a large two-handed R/C controller complete with aerial in his trousers.
{{quote| '''The Doctor''': [[Applied Phlebotinum|Bigger on the inside.]] [[Gag Penis|* wink* ]]}}
* In the first episode of ''[[Wiseguy]]'', [[The Mafia]] is surprised to see an [[Arms Dealer]] bring his woman to their meeting. As things go badly we see her casually unbuttoning her skirt (how she does this [[Not Distracted
* In the episode 6 of Al TV, during an interview with [[
* In a season 3 episode of ''[[Due South]]'', Fraser manages to smuggle files for Ray out of the police station by hiding them in the front of his trousers.
{{quote| Ray Kowalski: You're empty handed.<br />
Line 105:
* Similarly, "In my pants!" became a running gag of Gilbert Gottfried's for a while on the remade [[Hollywood Squares]].
* ''[[Series/Mystery Science Theatre|3000 MST3K]]'' - Torgo delivers a pizza to Doctor F. and Frank. He starts to get their complimentary 'crazy bread', reaching into his trousers before they holler "NO!!!"
* In an episode of ''[[Babylon
Line 119:
== Tabletop Games ==
* In the ''[[
** If anyone were to actually play this character, the suggested pre-combat threat was ''[[Nightmare Fuel|"Don't make me take off my pants".]]''
* Giants in ''[[Warhammer]]'' use random attacks in combat. At one point, these included "Stuff in Pants." The (very) unfortunate victim model was removed from the table permanently and counted as a casualty.
Line 129:
== Video Games ==
* [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Zork: Grand Inquisitor]]'': From the beginning of the game, the player possesses a "permasuck machine" which is basically a canister vacuum. When he places it on the ground, Dalboz asks, "Just where were you keeping that?"
* The original ''Secret of [[Monkey Island]]'' game. Guybrush Threepwood stores his entire (Significant) inventory in his pants, with a particularly notable example involving the 'Key' to the Monkey-Cave (A gigantic cotton swab)... seeing him pull that out of his pants is vaguely disturbing. In ''LeChuck's Revenge'', he acquires a jacket, and starts storing large objects in his inner pockets instead. Which is a real shame, since he picks up a living monkey at one point, and the sheer number of puns and bad jokes that could've resulted from him stuffing that in his pants would be ''terrifying''.
** Don't forget the large ''dog'' he's able to shove into his coat.
Line 148:
* Speaking of [[Sierra]], this trope is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]] 2: Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places)'' where Larry has to collect a 36-gallon trashcan-sized Grotesque Gulp soda. The narrator wonders how Larry's going to carry it with him...and then remembers that this is an adventure game and lets Larry just stuff the drink in his pocket.
* [[Tex Murphy]] pulls a 4-foot long bamboo pole out of his in ''The Pandora Directive''.
* All of the (bearded) freed prisoners in ''[[Metal Slug]]'' hide bonuses in their underwear. Including weapons. Is that a <s>Heavy Machine Gun</s> <s>Rocket Launcher</s> <s>Iron Lizard</s> <s>Flamethrower</s> Super Grenade in your pocket [[Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?|or are you happy to]]... Aw, never mind. What makes it hilarious is the giant grin they give you as they shake the bonus out.
** The boxers are comically-large and he manages to pull them out of his pants in one-piece and then put them back in easily.
* When becoming Calamity Jane in ''[[
* Trucy does it with her panties as a magic trick in ''[[Apollo Justice]]: [[Ace Attorney]]''. Fortunately for the sanity of us all, they aren't panties that she actually wears.
* When Johnny Cage wins a round in the original [[Mortal Kombat]], where exactly does he pull his sunglasses from?
Line 169:
{{quote| '''Black Mage''': "Lemme just reach into my wizard-style robes and pull out...MY KNIFE!" (By which, he actually means his knife. [[Don't Explain the Joke|Not...]] Oh, forget it.)}}
** And as the comic goes on, he shows that he has much more than just the one knife in there. On at least two occasions, Black Mage has stabbed his targets with enough knives to open a silverware store.
* As Dan of ''[[Dan and
* ''[[Ghastlys Ghastly Comic|Ghastly's Ghastly Comic]]'' naturally [http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20030105.html parodied this one].
* [[Nip and Tuck]]: Tuck objects to Thelma Possum trying to feed him with candy she kept in her pouch;
Line 177:
== Western Animation ==
* Joker in ''[[Batman:
* An episode of ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' had Francis the Bully shoplifting and sticking increasingly enormous items into his pants, including a large-screen TV, a generator, a car tire, and a 55 gallon drum.
* One episode of ''[[
{{quote| '''Cody''': I was gonna make us a...''romantic'' picnic.<br />
'''Gwen''': With bread from your ''pants?!'' }}
* The dragons in ''[[Dragon Tales]]'' have pouches that they can store seemingly anything in. They don't wear pants, but it's close.
* ''[[

** He does keep Baloney in his Slacks...
* A running gag in [[Looney Tunes]] is that often characters will pull anything they need out of their pants - most commonly binoculars.
* In the abysmal ''[[Fern Gully]]'' sequel, a circus performer pulls a fishing pole out of his pants to save his granddaughter.
* In ''[[The Simpsons (
* ''[[Histeria (Animation)|Histeria]]'' has Mr. Smartypants, and the segment of the show "What's in my pants" which <s> usually</s> always caused the Network Censor an ulcer.
