History Main / SexyCoatFlashing

* In the first chapter of ''{{Shiniez}}'', Lisa visits Allison's place wearing nothing but heels, stockings and a garterbelt under her coat.

* A warped version on ''TheMask'': The Animated Series episode "Flight as a Feather." When Cookie [=BaBoom=] ([[spoiler:Mayor Tilton's ex-girlfriend -- a strip -- er "exotic dancer"]]) gets stopped from rushing the City Hall stairs by Mayor Tilton's assistant, Smedley, Cookie flashes Smedley by opening her trenchcoat. One would expect Smedley to be distracted by her naked body. [[spoiler:Turns out she's not naked -- or rather, she wouldn't be naked until later -- what she had hidden under the trenchcoat was two megatons worth of explosions strapped across her hips and breasts like a makeshift bikini]].

* Dr Chase Meridian in ''BatmanForever''.

* In Grimm episode "Bears will be bears", Gilda seduces her boyfriend by suggestively opening a fur coat she's wearing to reveal her bikini-clad body.

* FanDisservice example in a notorious skit on ''TheTonightShow'' in the 1970s. Two trousered young women walk along a street and brag about their no-panty-line hosiery, which makes them each feel "like I'm wearing nothing." Johnny Carson, dressed in a trench coat and fedora, overhears the girls and forces them to admit that they really are wearing underwear. Then he announces: "Well, I'm not!" and tears open his coat to reveal [[SexyDiscretionShot (implied) frontal nudity]], chasing the two screaming girls off.

* Hinted at, but averted, at the beginning of ''Stir Crazy''. GeneWilder's character, a house detective at a department store, accosts an attractive female customer (who also happens to be a prominent actress), telling her he knows that (a.) she's a shoplifter and (b.) she's got nothing on under her overcoat, both of which she angrily denies. One scene later we discover he's been fired, but we never do find out whether she was right.

* Dashti of the Book of a Thousand Days does a variation on the distraction kind, the difference being that she's not trying to be kinky.

* Grand theft Sexy happens in ''DeadLikeMe'' using this trope when Daisy, Daisy Adair 'TheNameIsBond,JamesBond' acquires a particular hot and silver convertible from a man.

** [[CaptainObvious He should have]].

A woman (or occasionally a guy) is wearing a coat or similar covering, until she is talking to someone she wants to sleep with, or at least distract. Then she opens up and/or drops her covering to show that she's wearing nothing, or next to nothing, underneath. It doesn't matter what the cover is (a trenchcoat, a [[PrettyInMink fur coat]], or even a [[SweaterGirl cardigan]]), and what is worn underneath (underwear, a swimsuit, or is completely nude), as long as nothing else is being worn between them.

* Bree does this in the first season of ''DesperateHousewives''.
* The pictures come from the MadeForTVMovie ''WidowOnTheHill''.
* When Finch was dating a model (who turned out to be just a little loopy) in ''JustShootMe'', she shows up one day doing this.
** In another episode, Maya plans to try this on Elliot, but then Elliot's girlfriend invites her to dinner, and she has to go with nothing under her overcoat.
* Nora Gracen attempting to seduce Jim Profit in ''{{Profit}}''. She comes into his office in a trenchcoat, she drops it to the floor, and when she's about to kiss Profit, her husband appears in the outer office. [[BattleButler Gail]] has to stall him so she can get her coat back on.

* In ''LoveHina'', Keitaro is acting oddly, so Kit goes in to test him using this trope. [[NotDistractedByTheSexy He doesn't notice.]]
* In ''GossipGirl'', Blair shows up at Chuck's office like this, wanting to have sex after [[SarcasmMode the unbearable dry patch of five days]]. He doesn't oblige.
* In ''YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'', male drow Wolf is shown to assure a female of his, hum, ''best intentions'' and ''relevant adequacy'', in this way. He gets yet another promotion.

* [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/300 This]] is how Seraphim takes out Asmodeus in ''{{Megatokyo}}''.
* ''MyNameIsEarl'': Joy's trying to get pregnant in order to keep from going to prison. She comes over to Earl's motel room dressed only in an overcoat, but Earl doesn't fall for it.
* In ''SouthOfNowhere'', Spencer shows up at Ashley's house in only a trenchcoat.
* Played with in an episode of ''ThirdRockFromTheSun'', where Sally goes to work as a secretary for a boss majorly guilty of sexual harassment. Her boss at one point comments that he can't help wondering what she's wearing underneath her blouse. She opens it to show him an embroidered bra, smiling and oblivious.
* One episode of ''MythBusters'' involved viral videos, one of which was fainting goats. Kari, TheChick on the team, has the idea that flashing them would make them faint. It doesn't work - on the goats. Her male co-star Tory, on the other hand...
-->'''Tory''': Wasn't ready for that one, Kari . . .
* Claire tries it on ''ModernFamily'' while doing fantasy role play with Phil in a hotel. Then the coat gets caught on the escalator.
* Backfires in spectacular fashion on ''StillStanding''. Judy tries the nothing underneath variant to surprise Bill at work. And gets stopped by a security guard. Naturally he thinks she's stealing, but she can't show what's under the coat. He takes her to a security room and goes to find Bill. Bill arrives and she shows him. ''Then'' he reveals that the mirror is one-way.
* In ''{{Coupling}}'', Jane decides to do this on a dinner-at-his-house date with a new guy. Unfortunately, she wasn't told that [[OhCrap that the dinner was for her and a big group of his friends]]. After she eventually [[HilarityEnsues loses her coat to a little girl next door]], she just walks out of his apartment naked.

* In the ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' Season 2 episode "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered", a [[LovePotion love spell]]-affected Buffy comes at Xander wearing a trenchcoat and (it's implied) nothing else (except high heels). [[spoiler:She doesn't get the chance to do any actual flashing before Amy [[BalefulPolymorph turns her into a rat]].]]
