Trouser Space: Difference between revisions

[[File:Wedding Peach strong test.jpg|link=Wedding Peach|frame|Don't touch that. We know ''exactly'' where it's been.]]

 

 

Some guy reaches right into his pants. '''Oh, God! He's pulling out'''... Well the good news is that it's not his penis. The bad news is that it's ''still disturbing''.

Women can pull this trick too, with their own... implications about it. Also can be done whether it's pants or a skirt.

 

 

Not to be confused with [[Magic Pants]], or, despite being the trouser version of Hammerspace, [[MC Hammer|Hammerpants]].

 

Contrast [[Freud Was Right]].

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Al likes to store things in his loincloth. Despite the fact that the loincloth is not actually ''hiding'' anything due to his... metallic nature, it never fails to freak out the people who see it. They usually tell him to stop doing it, but he seems to like the attention.

* A running gag in ''[['Allo 'Allo!|Allo Allo]]'' was putting things down people's trousers to hide them. This included sausages, money, and rolled-up valuable paintings.

** 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?

* Played magnificently in an episode of ''[[All That]]'', which featured Baggin' Saggin' Barry, a guy who could pull ''anything'' out of his comically oversized pants. When a similarly abilitied [[The Rival|rival]] came into town, he was at first depressed. Then a [[Magical Negro]] told him to "reach down ''deep''". The result? A Trouser Space contest with his rival, which he won by pulling out ''[[Abraham Lincoln]]''.

* Bill on ''[[The Red Green Show]]'' is a master of this trope, constantly pulling things out of "storage space" in his overalls, up to and including a ''whole bicycle''.

* 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 by the Sexy|without attracting attention]] is not explained), then she somehow produces an [[Cool Guns|Ingram MAC-10]] and starts blazing away. Now admittedly the MAC-10 is quite small for an SMG, but it's still a large chunk of metal to be hiding between your legs while wearing a tight skirt. It's worth noting that this scene was based on a real-life arms deal in which the narrator noticed the women at the meeting were concealing firearms between their legs just from the way they sat down.

* In the episode 6 of Al TV, during an interview with [[Ozzy Osbourne]], [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] recalls that it's just where he's put his bologna sandwich.

* 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.

* ''[[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 5]]'', Sheridan is going to negotiate with a [[Mad Bomber]] and wants to keep a com line open with Garibaldi. He knows that his com link will be visible if it's on his hand as usual, and that the bomber will likely think of checking if he hides it in his shirt. So he drops it down his pants. It works great until he sits on it.

*** On several occasions during ''Curse of Monkey Island'', Guybrush will [[Aside Glance|suggestively waggle his eyebrows at the camera]] as he puts some implausible device (such as a ten-foot-long boat pole) into his pants.

** ''Escape from Monkey Island'' doesn't animate you taking things out of your pants ''per se'', but if you pull up your inventory in the company of other characters, they will often call you out on the fact that you're technically rifling through your pants (with vaguely naughty jokes thrown in).

** A bit subverted in ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'': Chapters 1 through 4 has Guybrush mention his "trousers" or "pants pockets" when he places items in his inventory; but in Chapter 5, when he places the [[Chekhov's Boomerang|tiny pyrite parrots]] into the tip jar he has gotten, he says, "Sorry, guys. I need to keep you in a more contained space than my jacket pockets!"

* Played straight in another [[LucasArts]] adventure game - ''[[The Dig]]''. Somewhat justified in that you're never carrying a great number of objects and none of them are particularly large - your shovel is a pocket shovel - but still beyond what anyone could realistically carry.

* In ''[[The Sims]]'' series of games, people pull anything from an engagement ring to garden tools from their pants. Can be made interesting if they are doing that while in their underwear, or naked if you have certain Game Mods installed.

** With the Sims 2 inventory system, Sims could pull ''minivans'' out of their trousers.

** Later on, Barney himself yells in disgust after he apparently peed himself. It turns out that he had just spilled his glass of applejuice in his underpants. Needless to say, you stock up on the little food you can get during a war.

 

* In the webcomic ''[[RPG World]]'', the party's inventory is kept in Hero's pants. This led to an amusing scene when the others had to retrieve items while Hero was unconscious.

* In [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0261.html this] ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' strip, Belkar says that he concealed his Ring of Jumping somewhere he was "reasonably certain no one would search". Gee, I wonder what finger he's wearing it on?

** 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 Mab's Furry Adventures]]'' demonstrates, [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_689.php you can hide all sorts of cool things in a dress.]

* [[Nip and Tuck]]: Tuck objects to Thelma Possum trying to feed him with candy she kept in her pouch;

"I told you, it fell in through a hole in my pocket!" }}

 

 

== Western Animation ==

* On ''[[Rugrats]]'', Tommy often pulls stuff out of his diaper, usually his trusty toy screwdriver. Phil and Lil have been known to keep stuff there, too, such as god-knows-how-old graham crackers. Which [[Fridge Logic|makes one wonder]], how often do the parents change the kids diapers if they never know they have all this stuff in them?

* ''[[We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story]]'' where at the end Stubbs the Clown starts pulling a bunch of random stuff out of his pants while probably giving an [[I Quit Speech]]. Among the random things were his backstage pass, his rabbit, the rabbit's back stage pass; a lucky wale tooth, which was around his size, and a whole host of other weird stuff

 

== Real Life ==

* Razor Ramon [[Hard Gay]] himself was once filmed visiting Harajuku to demand that the punk kids there do the right thing and call their dads on Father's Day...using a cell phone he drew suggestively from the front of his leather hotpants.
