Squirrels in My Pants: Difference between revisions

* "[[Nine Out of Ten Doctors Agree|Four out of five dentists surveyed recommend Trident for their patients who chew gum]]," one commercial says. The voiceover continues, "But what about the fifth dentist?", showing five dentists being asked about the recommendation. Four of them say yes, as a squirrel runs under the table and up the fifth dentist's pants leg. Suddenly, there's an audible <nowiki>*</nowiki>[[Groin Attack|CHOMP]]<nowiki>*</nowiki>, and the fifth dentist lets out a [[Big No]].

 

* ''[[A Little Snow Fairy Sugar]]'' has the Season Fairy Elder fall and land inside Greta's shirt after she repeatedly bangs on the object he's standing on. [[Hilarity Ensues|During the middle of a play she's acting in, at that.]]

* In ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', Aoi and the neighbors are chasing around a ferret that gets loose in the house, and it eventually falls inside Aoi's kimono and starts to get... a little ticklish.

* In ''[[Heartcatch Pretty Cure]]'', when Tsubomi first meets her two [[Mentor Mascot]]s, they end up hiding from the villains by diving into her shirt, making it look like she has... [[Gag Boobs|huge tracts of land.]]

== Films -- Live-Action ==

* All right, the puppets in ''[[Hobgoblins]]'' never actually make it ''into'' the pants of the teens they're attacking, but they do dance and writhe to try and make it look like they're being attacked. It's probably better than the awful 80's dancing they were doing before.

{{quote|"That looks like a new dance! ''Kinky!''}}

* Several ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' shorts make use of this.

** 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.

* Happens in ''Grind'' with a lizard when the group was left alone in the desert

== Literature ==

* ''[[Discworld]]''

* Ferret legging is popular in the [[Balkanize Me|People's Republic of West Yorkshire]] in [[Charles Stross]]'s ''Singularity Sky''. 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.

* One book in the ''[[Casca the Eternal Mercenary]]'' series showed a practical joke pulled on a particularly nasty sergeant during Casca's [[Legion of Lost Souls|French Foreign Legion]] service in Vietnam: a couple of non-venomous snakes under the blankets at the foot of the sergeant's bed — and then slithering their way up along his body, until one "popped its head out from under the covers and stuck its tongue out at him."

* In ''[[Muppet Treasure Island]]'', Gonzo observes at one point that his pants are filled with starfish. This later becomes helpful when he whips out the starfish during a fight scene and uses them as ''shuriken'', but at the time of the comment, it only serves to weird out Rizzo.

{{quote|'''Rizzo:''' You and your hobbies!}}

Two of them go straight up the bully's pants legs. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
