{{examples}}
== Anime &and Manga ==
* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'':
** Touma accidentally disrobes Index at the beginning by touching her magically-generated clothes with his [[Anti-Magic|Imagine Breaker]].
** Happens again later in the second season to free a nun from magic-restricting clothing. Which then leads to a flashback (from another character) of Touma's hand being used to free other nuns while Touma was unconscious. He still gets in trouble.
* During a [[Beach Episode]] in ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]'', Hazumu's swimsuit top [https://web.archive.org/web/20090212074334/http://www.onemanga.com/Kashimashi_Girl_Meets_Girl/9/10/ almost falls off].
* [http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/6494/yoko3cu7ib3.gif Yoko's bra falls off] while she is jumping vigorously in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''.
* When Nel in ''[[Bleach]]'' {{spoiler|goes back to being her adult self, the outfit she was wearing as a child doesn't fit as well anymore.}}
* ''[[Mysterious Girlfriend X]]'': {{spoiler|[[Identical Stranger]] Mokona, posing as Urabe and wearing her clothes}}, accidentally gives Tsubaki a free show when she bends down because {{spoiler|her breasts are two to three sizes too small for Urabe's bra}}. When she realises this after he asked her to do it again... [[Armor-Piercing Slap|boot to the head]].
* ''[[Ghost TalkersTalker's Daydream]]'': Kadotake trips and grabs Misaki's dress while falling down, causing it to rip off and reveal her sexy lingerie underwear.
* ''[[Kemeko Deluxe]]'' has probably [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caoh6UGoMPA the most unbelievable malfunction] that happened in Anime history. It's also the most awesome.
* Miria experiences a [[Wardrobe Malfunction]] in ''[[Baccano!]]'' when Jacuzzi falls and tries to grab something to hold onto -- whichonto—which turns out to be the front of Miria's strapless dress. And [[Cloudcuckoolander|Miria]] doesn't even care.
* [[Ms. Fanservice|Sheryl Nome]] in ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' ends up [[Subverted Trope|subverting]] the [[Impossibly Low Neckline]] of her one-piece tube dress. It ''does'' fall off, all the way to her waist with [[Godiva Hair|conveniently placed hair]].
* ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'': Whenever Natsumi gets hit with the age ray in the manga, she always gets a wardrobe malfunction. Whether reverting back her regular age, and suddenly finding herself topless in front of a crowd of nerdy guys, or losing her ski suit to an explosion, it's pretty much a given.
Line 34:
== Comic Books ==
* A story in ''[[Archie Comics|Veronica]]'' volume 201 had the girls discover a collection of old-style bathing suits and try them out in the water. The boys didn't really appreciate the cover-everything styles... until it became clear that the old fabric couldn't stand up to water anymore and disintegrated, leaving Betty, Veronica and the rest ''naked'' in the ocean. Heck, this even happened to ''Mrs. Lodge'' who tried out one of the suits at a pool party.
* A very similar incident happened with Lynn in the ''[[ALF]]'' comic, when Alf, in order to stop Willie and Kate from going down the girl's throat about her new bikini being too revealing, sews a new, stylish and more modest swimsuit for her out of the seat-covers from his spaceship. Crisis averted -- untilaverted—until Lynn and her classmates go to the seaside and it turns out that the Melmacian fabric can take ''fresh'' water without any problems, but dissolves completely in salt water.
 
 
Line 56:
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* [[Kenny Everett]]'s character [[Punny NameSpoonerism|Cupid Stunt]] was always telling Michael Parkinson (or rather a cardboard cutout of him) about intentional wardrobe malfunctions in her films. "[[Catch Phrase|It's all done in the best possible taste.]]"
* On a ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch, [[Sigourney Weaver]] (as herself) is obsessed with [[Internet Buzz]]. She finds a nipslip of herself on "eyesugar.biz" and is thrilled.
{{quote| '''Sigourney:''' Do you think men are gonna [[A Date with Rosie Palms|masturbate]] to this? Do you think women will?}}
* One of the most notable moments is during a 1977 episode of ''[[The Price Is Right]]''. When the contestant, Yolanda Bowersley, comes on down, her tube top slipped exposing her breasts.
{{quote| '''Barker:''' She came on down and they came on out.}}
* Olivia Munn has a Blink-and-you'll-miss-it nip slip on ''[[Attack of the Show!]]''.
* A regular event at the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. Often leads to speculation as to whether they are done deliberately to try and win more points.
** A splendid example, and arguably a [[Trope Maker]], is Lill Lindfors, the host in 1985. She [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tmk23i4giE lost her skirt] when it snagged on some scenery. This was quickly revealed as intentional when she unfastened part of her top to make a dress.
Line 77:
* In his second-to-last WWE pay-per-view match, [[Ric Flair]] (who, like all old-school male wrestlers, wears [[Underwear of Power|a pair of bikini briefs in the ring]] and nothing else), got pantsed by Mr. Kennedy just before he (Flair) managed to get a pinfall -- [[A Worldwide Punomenon|making him a "Nature Boy" in more than one sense of the word]]!
* Awesome Kong suffered this in TNA during a over-the-top Battle Royale included on the Bonus Disc for the Video Game.
 
 
== Puppet Shows ==
* The incident with Sophie Marceau's dress at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival was repeatedly mocked on ''[[Les Guignols Dede L Infol'info]]'', each time implying it to be less and less accidental.
 
 
== Sports ==
Line 100 ⟶ 98:
* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': Happens to Haley in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0035.html "Rogues Gone Wild!"], and [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0036.html the following strip] mentions it by name.
* ''[[Questionable Content]]'': [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1675 "Oh no! The levee broke!"]
* [http://laslindas.katbox.net/?p=343 Page 170] of ''[[Las Lindas (Webcomic)|Las Lindas]]'', aptly titled "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Wardrobe malfunction]]". [[Break the Haughty|Alej really had it coming...]]
* A rather petty piece of divine intervention in ''[[Misfile]]'' results in one of these.
* The title character of ''Bridgette's Belly''. Basically any time her belly grows larger (whether from pregnancy, overeating, or both) and she isn't wearing stretchy pants. Her formal dress pretty much ''exploded'' {{spoiler|while pregnant with twins.}}
Line 121 ⟶ 119:
** Happens to Homer Simpson's salamander costume at the end of the episode where he tries to run for Mayor of Springfield.
** Homer also fell victim to this trope in 1992 during a Halloween party:
{{quote| '''Homer:''' Hail Caesar, in all his glory!<br />
'''(the hem of his toga snags on a loose nail as he's coming down the basement stairs)<br />
'''Cloth of toga:''' RRRIIIIIPPP! }}
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': SpongeBob rips his pants accidentally while trying to lift weights; he then does this intentionally because it makes people laugh.

== Real Life ==
* The [[Trope Namer]] and [[Trope Codifier]] is the famous incident when [[Justin Timberlake]] "inadvertently"<ref> they later confessed to planning the whole thing</ref> exposed [[Janet Jackson]]'s breast at the 2004 [[Super Bowl]] [[Halftime Show]]. A touch of [[Values Dissonance]] -- Janet—Janet Jackson was accused of corrupting youth with a half second of her bare breast, but very few (if any) people complained that Justin Timberlake was, effectively, ''pantomiming a form of sexual assault.'' Part of the reason for Janet getting more blame than Justin was the rumor that although it was planned, all that was supposed to be bared was Janet's bra (which she neglected to wear).
* A strap of Sophie Marceau's dress slipped off at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, baring her breast.
* Tara Reid at P. Diddy's birthday party.
* Judy Finnegan's dress fell open at the National TV Awards during her acceptance speech. On-screen presenting partner/off-screen husband Richard Madeley, standing next to her on stage, did not notice and appeared to believe that the crowd were clamouring for his Ali G impression. Fellow TV presenter John Leslie ran out from the audience and covered her up. Judy took the incident in reasonably good graces, and joked later that "thank goodness [she] was wearing an expensive bra."
* In 2001, the snap on Carla Sanchez's top broke while she and her New York University dance team were performing in a national competition. She [[The Show Must Go On|continued to dance]], topless, believing her team would be penalized if she broke ranks to cover up. (The judges later said they would not have deducted points.) The NYU team won its division. The incident was referenced in a 2002 ''USA Today'' article on [http://www.usatoday.com/sports/_stories/2002-04-26-cheerleading-cover.htm cheerleading as a sport and industry. ]
* At the 1999 [[Academy Award|Academy Awards]]s, Gweneth Paltrow's dress had a slip. But her father stood between her and the cameras while she fixed it.
* At the second BIG4 concert in Seyoul, the lead singer of the group SeeYa had her breast exposed when the strap on her costume broke. She [[The Show Must Go On|continued to dance uninterrupted]], eventually [[Godiva Hair|using her hair to hide the exposure]].
* ''[[Dancing With the Stars]]''
Line 144 ⟶ 142:
* The "daring" Dominique Auxilly dress that Adrienne Bailon wore to a March 2012 concert is a perfect example of how the [[Theiss Titillation Theory]] can backfire spectacularly to cause one of these. She was posing for photographers on the red carpet when a gust of wind suddenly revealed that she [[Vapor Wear|wasn't wearing anything underneath]].
* Ryu Hwayoung of the [[Korean Pop Music|South Korean girl group]] [[T-ARA|Tara]] suffered a malfunction during a live performance of the single "Lovey Dovey" on a music show when the non-seethrough portion of her costume slipped down just as the camera zoomed in for her solo.
* [[Cosplay|Cosplayers]]ers sometimes have these. Most commonly these happen when their costumes fall apart, although there have been some more classic examples.
* During [[Garbage]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1bctgI4t0sperformance at the 1996 VH1 Fashion Awards], Shirley Manson had one.
{{quote| [http://www.garbage.net/garbage/articles/@feb97-2.htm I laughed my head off.] But my breasts didn't fall out-I think that's people's wishful thinking. I think people may have very, very briefly seen a nipple. [[Hilarious in Hindsight|But you know, when did a nipple do any harm?]] I do have nipples. There, you can tell the world.}}
