Strip Poker: Difference between revisions

 

This game, more often discussed than actually played, has been the basis for several computer games, as well as two [[Game Show|game shows]]: ''Strip Poker'' on [[USA Network]] and ''Räsypokka'' on Finland's SubTV.

== Anime & Manga ==

* Variation in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' One of the girls in Negi's class asks if the students can play Baseball Janken, a quiz game to help review for the big test. Negi approves. Unfortunately, (or [[Fan Service|fortunately, as the case may be]]) he's too innocent/uninformed to know that the game's primary rule appears to be "answer a question wrong, lose an article of clothing." The [[Baka]] Rangers get stripped to their underwear within four minutes.

* Faye and Jet from ''[[Cowboy Bebop (Anime)|Cowboy Bebop]]''. She cheats. It's plain ordinary gambling (with dice, in this case). Jet just has lost everything in his possession he's willing to bet, so he only has his clothes to put on the line.

* ''[[Gravion (Anime)|Gravion]] Zwei'' begins with the Gran Knights having to do chores after Eiji loses big against the Maids in a game that left him down to his boxers. Rather than lose those (much to the maids' disappointment), he bet the team's services.

* In ''[[D Gray Man (Manga)|D Gray Man]]'', Allen plays this with Tyki Mikk and his human friends, leaving them without their clothes. One volume of the manga also has a joke inner cover, where it's Tyki and Lavi Allen stripped to their underwear.

* The Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise arc of ''[[Black Lagoon (Anime)|Black Lagoon]]'' combines this with a [[Shameful Strip]] for a villainous version. After {{spoiler|Yukio}} is captured, her captors play strip bowling. For every strike they remove a piece of clothing from her. By the time we see her she has lost her skirt and bra, [[Fridge Logic|but for some reason she can still cover herself with her (unbuttoned) shirt.]]

 

 

== Comic Books ==

* In one issue of [[Marvel Comics]]' ''Cable and [[Deadpool]]'', the latter title character is playing one of these with Bob From HYDRA, Outlaw and Sandi Brandenberg, with only Deadpool down to his skivvies (or less; the characters are shown only from the waist up), until Cable gives him a hint ("She's bluffing") over a psychic link. Later the girls are seen propositioning The Thing for a similar game.

* In Issue 3 of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' Season 8, [[Transparent Closet|Andrew]] complains about how he's bored out of his mind since all the (hot, teenage, female) slayers just want to play strip poker with each other.

* In one strip of ''[[Spinoff Babies|Le Petit]] [[Spirou and Fantasio|Spirou]]'', Spirou is running around the house wearing around fifteen layers of clothing, looking for a deck of cards. His grandfather asks him what the hell he's doing, to which Spirou answers he's going to play the game Gramps taught him. Gramps gets angry and forbids him to play for money, at which point Spirou asks why he'd want to play for money, and we cut to Spirou's similarly attired friends and Suzette in a bathing suit.

* Shown in ''[[American Pie]] 2''.

* The Hugh Grant movie ''[[Film/Two Weeks Notice|Two Weeks Notice]]'' features his character playing strip chess with his pretty, red-headed new lawyer.

* ''[[Captain Ron]]'' also features the Strip Monopoly variant.

* ''Joysticks'' features people playing strip video games.

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[3rd Rock From the Sun (TV)|3rd Rock From the Sun]]'': Mary plays with some of her and Dick's students (there must be a rule against this!) One of them decides to surrender their briefs instead of their socks on the grounds that their feet would get cold.

** Hawkeye and Trapper play with a nurse, and Hawkeye demands that the others turn their heads before he will remove his dogtags. To make things worse for them, it was ''really, really'' cold outside.

** Speaking of "''really, really'' cold," one of the later "winter" episodes features everyone bundled up in all the cold weather gear they own, playing strip poker. Of course, because it's ''really, really'' cold, losers leave the table when they're down to just "one coat, two gloves, one hat, one scarf," so maybe this doesn't really count as [[Strip Poker]].

* ''[[Chuck]]'': [[Those Two Guys|Jeff]] [[Vitriolic Best Buds|and]] [[Those Two Guys|Lester]] of the Nerd Herd, along with Morgan, have weekly poker games. When Captain Awesome is invited out to one after being put in the doghouse with Elle, he comes to the uncomfortable realization that it isn't just any poker -- it's strip poker, but only with sad, unattractive men as the players. With the exception of the good captain, they all seem to have a pretty good time with it, though.

* ''[[Mad About You]]'': We see Jamie finally winning the underwear of a group of Paul's friends. ''Thankfully,'' the scene ends quickly.

* ''[[Friends]]''. Joey kept bugging the others to play a game of strip poker. They eventually give in to shut him up, but because they can't find cards they end up playing strip [[Happy Days]] Game. The rest of them spend the whole game getting ''him'' to take his clothes off. Monica had also lost a few rounds and her pants by the time the game ended. Later in the episode, Joey tried to convince Chandler to play him in [[Ho Yay|a one on one game]].

* ''[[Hustle]]'', forcing Danny Blue to wear nothing but a strategically placed pillow.

== Video Games ==

* [[Studio Gainax]] made a series of strip mahjong games, including one starring the cast of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. This is actually pretty standard dôjinshi for milking the cash out of a successful franchise. Start with a popular game, add the promise of ecchi, produce it for little cost, profit.

* One of ''[[Gaia Online]]'''s Random Item Generator minigames begins with the casino's Cardbot demanding a game of [[Strip Poker]] from its (human) coworkers. Cardbot loses.

* One of the household entertainment items that can be played by ''[[The Sims]]''. It was even the subject of [http://www.spike.com/video-clips/rf8gp9/the-sims-card-shark one of the commercials]
