[[caption-width-right:370:So what if he's probably getting splinters, women also deserve some [[EstrogenBrigadeBait eye candy]].]]

* ''SengokuBasara'' has Katakura Kojuurou, resident BattleButler to BloodKnight extraordinaire Date Masamune, who apparently unwinds from a long campaign by way of vegetable gardening. While he's not shirtless (his gardening clothes are actually more modest than his battle gear), there's something undeniably hot about a {{samurai}} who can garden. The fact that he's prime EstrogenBrigadeBait with a sexy [[GoodScarsEvilScars scar]] and loads of HoYay with his boss doesn't hurt either.

* Charlotte in SexAndTheCity had a steamy one time affair with the rose gardener during her first marriage.

** John, the [[CakeEater MILF-loving]] gardener played by JesseMetcalf with whom Gabrielle had a long-term affair.

** Bart: "Dad, why did you take me to a gay steel mill?"

* The classic Diet Coke ad, where everyday at a certain time, a bunch of office women flock to their window to watch a construction worker (model Lucky Vanous) outside strip off his shirt and enjoy said drink.

* Appears in an episode of ''LasVegas'' when two window washers are doing work on the Montecito casino's ''many'' hotel windows while shirtless. Justified because they were paid specifically to follow this dress code.

* Sometime appeared in Nazi propaganda.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* Happens in ''TheSimpsons'', with the Springfield steel workers. "We work hard, we play hard!"
** Bart: "Dad, why did you take me to a gay steel mill?"

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* The artwork of Tom Of Finland, mixture between this and LeatherMan.

* There was a promotion by a certain dishwashing liquid that would send you plates with pictures of men like this on it. Just get 3 of the codes and you could have plates with sexy firemen and pool boys on rhem... I wonder if the codes have expired yet.

* [[DistractedByTheSexy I forget what was being advertised]], but the commercial featured a bunch of women trashing their apartments in increasingly-insane fashions, just to spend time with the hot maintenance man.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1A146sANdg GE Energy had one of the most bizarre examples ever]]. I'm not sure how you sell ''electricity'' with sex appeal. Notable for containing Hot Men ''and'' Women At Work.
** And that's without even mentioning the [[LyricalDissonance interesting choice of theme song]]which seems to push this comercial into GoGoEnslavement territory.

* TheFullMonty. (Although most of them were ''out'' of work, and only one really qualified as "hot." But "sexy working-class guys" was at least the idea behind the plan.)
* The [[spoiler: gay]] poolboy in LegallyBlonde also qualifies. This trope is taken farther than normal with him, as his "uniform" was a thong.

* At least one episode of ''DesperateHousewives'', with [[MsFanservice Edie]] walking past a construction site. Probably more.
** Hello? John, the [[CakeEater MILF-loving]] gardener played by JesseMetcalf with whom Gabrielle had a long-term affair?
* Occurs in a ''{{Poirot}}'' episode, with a gardener.
** Oh yes. Adam Goodman. he turns out to be an undercover agent but he is one sweet looking guy. MMMMMM

** Terry (who else agrees?) and Lafayette as hot cooks.

* In a first-season episode of MythBusters, preliminary testing required jackhammering a large hole in M5's sidewalk twice. Adam wore his usual t-shirt, Jamie spent most of those sequences shirtless.

* [[DistractedByTheShiny I forget what was being advertised]], but the commercial featured a bunch of women trashing their apartments in increasingly-insane fashions, just to spend time with the hot maintenance man.

* True Blood

* I see lots of construction workers, lawn-and-garden workers, carpenters, etc. working stripped to the waist. Unfortunately, I also see a lot who SHOULDN'T, if you take my meaning.
* A friend of mine who runs a lawncare service jokes (I think he's joking, at least) about telling female clients "throw in an extra twenty bucks, and I promise to take my shirt off."

* You can get really nice print fabric with pictures of men who fit this trope on it-- OrSoIHeard. Construction workers, firefighters (of course), and lumberjacks-- just to name three of them. All cheeky grins, winking, posing to optimally display one's posterior in jeans, and a lot of them [[StargateAtlantis disturbingly resembling John Sheppard.]]
