History Main / NakedApron

* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the {{hentai}} anime ''Spaceship Agga Rutter'' (by ''TenchiMuyo!'' creator Masaki Kajishima), when SpaceshipGirl Kei continues her campaign of teaching her adopted son (and lover), Taiyo, about the opposite sex through nothing but PornTropes -- including the "Legendary HadakaApron".

* [[http://www.springiette.net/strips/Awkwarse This Springiette strip]].

* [[FanDisservice Rather alarmingly]], {{Baldrick}} does this in ''{{Blackadder}}: Back and Forth''.

* ''HadakaApronGakuen'' is a Japanese [[RenaiGame "Ero-Ren'ai" game]] (Erotic Dating Game, also incorrectly known as a "Hentai Game" in the US) that takes this trope to its logical extreme. The hero passes out playing an Ero-Ren'ai game with a Hadaka Apron scene. When he awakes the next day, the world has changed so that every woman in the world is wearing nothing but an apron, and doesn't realize anything is wrong with this.

* In an infamous scene in the classic WoodyAllen film ''{{Sleeper}}'', at one point protagonist Miles Monroe finds himself in an apartment where some gay men live. Enter the butler, clad only in an apron.

* Ditto for a character from ''NagasareteAirantou''. Having lived on an island her entire life without ever having met a male, everything she's learned about inter-gender relationships was from[[hottip:* :''pornographic'']] books and magazines that washed up on shore.

* Samataro's [[HotShounenMom goddess mom]] in ''[[KamisamaKazoku Kamisama Kazoku]]'' wears it at her husband's request. But then, when her son and his female angel guide Tenko come home to see her in it, [[InnocentFanserviceGirl she doesn't mind at all]]. She even proudly explains that "It's called being naked under the apron. It's a romantic gesture that really tickles mortal men's hearts."

* The titular Ai of "VideoGirlAi" does this fairly early on in the series. Viz declared it scandalous and drew panties on her. [[SarcasmMode Because that makes it better.]]

** Invoked again later, as a part of [[spoiler: Setsuna's Cosmo Entelechia aka the world she wants the most.]]

** Haruna's definitely going for the look [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c136/17.html here]][[hottip:* :with bonus SchoolSwimsuit]], although she's wearing a bikini underneath it.

* When Fuyutsuki puts him up to help him cram for his exams, [[GreatTeacherOnizuka Onizuka]] fantasizes about having her wear nothing but an apron.

* In the TooHotForTV episode 26 of ''ExcelSaga'', "Going Too Far", Watanabe has an ImagineSpot of a seductive [[strike:Hyatt]] Miss Chihaya Ayasugi wearing just an apron.

* In the LoveHina manga, Keitarou at one point has an ImagineSpot in which he fantasizes about being waited on by Naru, Mutsumi, and ''[[{{Lolicon}} Shinobu]]'', all wearing {{Naked Apron}}s.

* Ikki once fantasizes this on Simca in {{Air Gear}}.

* In ''TheOtherworld'', Karl wants Hope to cook him breakfast naked for his birthday. She refuses � bacon grease is hot. So he puts her in his shirt, nothing else, no panties, which barely covers her butt.

* In one of Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's "Alice" books, on the the main character's older brother's birthday, his girlfriend cooks him dinner while wearing only panties.
* In ''TheMasterAndMargarita'', DarkChick Hella wears this when she's not completely naked.

** Do not confuse this with TheNakedChef.

--->'''Joe:''' Helen, what is with that apron? I thought we agreed, all nude all the time!
--->'''Helen:''' I am ''not'' cooking bacon naked.

* Played sadistically in the ''[[LawAndOrderSVU Law & Order: SVU]]'' episode "Authority"-- the manager of a fast-food joint recieves a phone call from a police officer, who tells him to bind, gag, and strip-search a female employee until police arrive, leaving only her apron on. He complies, then the police arrive... to arrest him for sexual assault. The call was a fake.

* Equipping an apron but no other top on a female created character in ''SoulCalibur IV'' results in their usual bikini top disappearing. Oddly (or unfortunately,) if the apron is broken, their bikini top reappears.

* [[{{DoubleStandard}} Rather alarmingly]], {{Baldrick}} does this in ''{{Blackadder}}: Back and Forth''.
** Double Standard? It's ''[[FanDisservice Baldrick]]''.

* In the Bravo reality show ''Chef Academy'', contestant Emmanuel volunteered to serve a birthday cake to another contestant while wearing nothing but an apron (and a smile, and some body oil!). Since Emmanuel was very, very attractive (he'd had a previous career as a porn star), this was definitely ''FanService''.
* In an interesting inversion/twist, House starts out an episode making breakfast while naked at his and Wilson's place (when he was supposed to be away on a business trip), where Wilson's latest girlfriend runs into House. This is combined with NakedFirstImpression and PleasePutSomeClothesOn when she hands House an apron. (Which he does.)

* Occurs in the BoysLove game ''Kichiku Megane R'' during one of Katsuya's [[ScrewYourself Selfcest]] dream squences. His normal side is utterly embarrassed to be dressed that way, his SpectacledSadist side just finds it hot. Given that this game is heavy on sex, you can figure out where this is going...

* PetHomosexual Dillon pulls this trope in [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090523.html this]] ''[=~M�nage � 3~=]'' comic.

* [[{{Chowder}} Shnitzel]] sometimes wears pants under his apron, sometimes not. This being a children's cartoon, the trope is mostly PlayedForLaughs ([[GettingCrapPastTheRadar though given the show...]])
* Timmy's dad went one episode of ''TheFairlyOddparents'' set in a hospital dressed only in an open-backed patient's apron. This was played very much for laughs and FanDisservice, since Timmy did ''not'' appreciate having to see his father's naked ass.

* Mister Mxyzptlk once made {{Superman}} powerless and dressed up in only an apron so that an super powered Lois Lane can rescue him.

[[/folder]]

* ''AxisPowersHetalia'': Arthur/England's "Sexy Waiter" MemeticOutfit is basically the lower half of a HadakaApron.

* In ''{{Soul Eater}}'' when the heroes enter the Book of Ebion to rescue Kid. The first chapter they run across is titled Lust, in which they run into [[http://www.onemanga.com/Soul_Eater/71.5/28/ a succubus with just an apron and little else underneath]].

Compare and contrast TheissTitillationTheory, BodyPaint, GodivaHair, PeekABoo, SexyBack, {{Stripperiffic}}, BarelyThereSwimwear.

And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while;

* This happens in episode 15 of "The Wallflower", in which Noi (while under the influence of a pirate ghost) hallucinates Takenaga cooking her dinner in nothing but a pink frilly apron.

** In a gender reversal of this trope, in episode 15 of the anime Noi hallucinates Takenaga cooking her dinner in nothing but a pink frilly apron.

* This has made it out of Japan. The video for Genesis' song "Jesus He Knows Me" features a woman dressed just this way during the pool scene at the bridge. She's the one working the barbecue.

* In ''[[BridgetJones Bridget Jones's Diary]]'', Bridget has a nightmare where she has to take A-level French while wearing nothing but her Domestic Science apron. When she tells it to Daniel (his boyfriend) he asks her to "run over the bit" about the apron again.

A trope in comedy, pornography and nearly any source of {{fanservice}}, NakedApron, frequently called "[[GratuitousJapanese Hadaka]] Apron" due to it's popularity in Japan, is the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin practice of wearing an apron over]] [[ShapedLikeItself a scantily clad or outright nude body.]]
