* Lois Lane in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', due to a wind blown up from Superman's hasty departure. She comments that she needs to start wearing pants, (and in a rare case of averting LimitedWardrobe, she does wear pants in the next episode).

* Asuka's introduction in the ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' episode "[[Recap/NeonGenesisEvangelionEpisode08AsukaStrikes Asuka Strikes!]]" has her sun dress get blown up by a breeze. The audience get a back view of her being exposed to her classmates, most prominently Shinji. Asuka then slaps him and calls it a "charge".

The {{Trope Namer|s}} and most iconic example, of course, is Creator/MarilynMonroe in ''Film/TheSevenYearItch'' standing over the subway vent (see picture). As such, a common {{stock parod|ies}}y includes having the character adopt Monroe's pose from the scene.

May or may not result in ComedicUnderwearExposure, depending on the presence or [[GoingCommando absence of underwear]], the angle it's seen from, and the victim's reaction time (for some reason, characters always tend to be quicker on the draw when it's seen from the front). The more vulgar examples (of the bathroom variety) would include the skirts being blown away by "wind", likely a reference to Marilyn's flatulence problems and poor personal hygiene.
