History Main / GoingCommando

* The rather {{Fanservice}}y episode 8 of ''MacrossFrontier'' has a RidiculouslyCuteCritter run off with [[MsFanservice Sheryl]]'s panties by accident while at school, and given that she's currently the hottest (IfYouKnowWhatIMean) IdolSinger in the ''entire galaxy'' at the moment, causes a few issues with ''[[GroupieBrigade every single male student]] (except three) chasing after the PantyThief to get the prize, seemingly with more desire to get it as treasure than to return them to her. Meanwhile Sheryl grabs PowerArmor and rampages across campus to get them back. In a skirt. A MagicSkirt as the implication of Sheryl chasing her panties in a skirt is this trope.

* In one of the early issues of ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers The New Avengers]]'', the team is captured and they are all stripped of the costumes. {{Spider-Man}} lets out that he doesn't wear underwear because it chaffes him.

* On the opposite end of the spectrum, the boy in ''TheSnowman'' changes out of his pajamas directly into his clothes without even a pair of Long Johns underneath. Most likely done for humorous effect, but the fact that the kid was so young makes it [[{{Squick}} unsettling]] for this troper.

* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', [[BeyondTheImpossible Jack Rakan]] can [[PantyThief steal the panties]] of all of [[BigBad Fate]]'s minions except the CatGirl Tamaki. Guess why?

* Early in ''[[{{Dragonball}} Dragon Ball]]'', [[WildChild Goku]] once removed Bulma's panties while she was sleeping (and freaked out because she had no balls like his grandfather) and she remained unaware of it. When [[DirtyOldMan Muten Roshi]] asked to see her panties in exchange for his Dragon Ball, she lifted her skirt in front of him. It was only after she and Goku returned to their capsule house that she realized she had been going commando since the previous night, and it only got worse for her when she realized what Roshi really saw. She let Goku have it upon finding out that it was he who took them off.

** [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Aigis]] tecnically is ALWAYS going commando.

* The (in)famous scene from ''BasicInstinct''.

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]

---> '''Cody (blushing):''' Heh-heh...who wears undies in the Amazon?
---> '''Gwen (in confessional):''' Everyone! ''Everyone'' wears undies in the Amazon!

* Possibly [[{{Blazblue}} Noel Vermillion?]] [[http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/3122/nopanel.png Exhibit A.]] It would explain why she has a MagicSkirt during battle.

* In {{Sora No Otoshimono}} anime/manga Sohara goes around like that for a whole episode/chapter. Against her will. She's also unable to wear any underwear... anything whatsoever in fact... and if she tries it flies away. Literally. That's just the kind of show it is. Never give magic powers to a perverted protagonist.

* Aruka Schild from {{Needless}}. It's even {{Lampshaded}} in one episode preview.

* At least one of Tao Ren's outfits in ShamanKing would imply this, as the placement of a set of holes in the sides of his pants would normally reveal SOME form of underwear.

* {{Hatsukoi Limited}} special is about Andou Soako going through an entire (school) day without her undergarments, and trying to keep anyone from finding out.

* In the 25th issue of ''{{Thunderbolts}}'' the team has to deal with a base filled with 25 supervillains. To be able to move around more freely, they ambush a small group, including female villain Joystick, and steal their costumes, leaving the stripped villains lying in a heap. One of the 'Bolts [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5bcfpMCxb6I/SK9RqxptKwI/AAAAAAAACwQ/e49a6IYk5Vo/s1600-h/thnderbolts2.jpg comments]] that when she wakes up, Joystick will probably wish she was the sort of person who wore underwear.

* [[http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=3429 Gemini Storm]]: Not one of Elizabeth's outfits suggests she ever wears a bra.
* In one of the early issues of the New Avengers, the team is captured and they are all stripped of the costumes. Spiderman lets out that he doesn't wear underwear because it chaffes him.

* [[RosarioDawson Becky]] in ClerksII, dancing on the roof of Moobie's [[FanService without a bra]].

* NightHuntress has the sequence in the first book in which Bones tells Cat that she will be more effective bait by not wearing undergarments with her slut disguises. Later, it is revealed to be a personal fetish of Bones' and he just told Cat to do so to mess with her.

* Marti Noxon (No Parking Lady) in the {{Buffy}} musical episode ''Once More With Feeling'':

* There's a children's television program in japan where school children go to school without underwear while being accompanied by a camera team.
* In an episode of AirWolf, in a mission involving dressing in military attire, the woman providing the clothes to Stringfellow Hawke detailed the clothes provided, including the underwear. Hawke was very prompt to clarify that he never used any.

* Evoked in Persona3 , in a quite funny form. [[CuteShotaroBoy Ken]] asks the main character if girls were GoingCommando in the New year festival, and then he also asks what Going commando means (he overhead it from Junpei, who also comments this)

* One episode of [[TotalDramaIsland Total Drama World Tour]] entitled ''The Am-AH-Zon Race'' reveals that Cody is under the impression that nobody wears underwear in the Amazon and, therfore, he decides to [[GoingCommando go without]]. Gwen, upon finding this out through the use of X-Ray glasses, is quite [[{{Squick}} disturbed]]...

* The famous scene from ''BasicInstinct''.

** According to [[http://vetus.wordpress.com/nazenani/#v30 Akamatsu himself]], Tamaki goes commando because her tail makes panties ''very'' uncomfortable for her, so she decided to just be practical about it. As a matter of fact, her ''entire race'' goes underwear-less for this reason.

Not to be confused with the second game in the ''RatchetAndClank'' series.
