A sequence where a character somehow ends up with one or more small live animals in their clothing. Naturally they're going to go crazy over it, twisting, squirming, and grabbing to get whatever's in their clothes out. This trope often appears as ants in one's pants.

* 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.
* Max from ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'', to his eventual embarrassment, gets a possum in his pants. By the time he gets it out, the dance is already in full [[A Worldwide Punomenon|swing]].

* No one was dancing, but in the movie of ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire|Harry Potter]]'', when Draco gets turned into a ferret he gets put in Crabbe's pants. There is a song about this by the wizard rock group "Draco and the Malfoys" called "Goyle's Pants". (The song gets it wrong about whose pants ferret!Draco went into.)

** One of the earliest being "Ants in the Pantry" with a mouse down the back of somebody's shirt, usually leading the Stooges to start doing [[That Russian Squat Dance]] to the rhythm of the victim's hopping.
** One instance was in ''Hoi Polloi'' when a dancer tries to teach the stooges how to dance proper, until a bee flies down the back of her dress, leading to hilarity
** Happens in the 2012 film of the same name, with a lobster
* In the silent film ''[[
* Occured in the movie ''How to Eat Fried Worms'', when Billy and Joe both had to put worms in their pants. Joe for losing a bet against Billy, and Billy for messing up on one worm that Joe did not know about.

Owing to a [[Future Imperfect|certain amount of confusion]] as to which traditions belong to which parts of North Britain, they have to seal up their kilts with duct-tape first.
* In ''[[Dragaera|Taltos]]'', Vlad carries baby Loiosh around everywhere with him, tucked into his shirt where it's warm. Luckily, Loiosh is sentient and has the sense to subvert the "uncomfortable squirming" part of this trope.

* Although not an animal, this trope was invoked in ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' when a trophyman was charmed with the Murrieta Animata spell uses this trope to escape from Max
* ''[[El Chavo Del Ocho]]'': When Dona Florinda's restaurant became rat-infested, she and La Chillindrina each jumped into a chair for safety while El Chavo chased the rat with a broom.

** In an early episode, Tommy attempt to bring a lizard to a costumed performer of [[Show Within a Show|Reptar]] at an ice show ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]). When he hides it in his diaper, it doesn't quite make him ''dance,'' but it does make him make weird facial expressions. The same happens to Chuckie later on but the parents think they're "antsy," of course.
** Chuckie also had an experience with some sand, which surely gains half a mark because people ''did'' think he was dancing.
** Angelica suffers a consequence reminiscent of this trope when a flying bucket of ice lands on her head, sending it you know where.
** 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.
