* In {{ArtemisFowl}}, The Time Paradox, No1 does this to Artemis and Holly at the same time, because the time stream is too fragile to allow extra objects in.

# The woman [[MegatonPunch slaps the man around]] for being a pervert.
# The woman, especially if she's romantically inclined toward the man, gets all flustered and bashful, arguing that it is too soon or not the right place and time and that they should wait for marriage... to the man's puzzlement.
# The woman [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn enthusiastically complies and strips]], maybe taking off much more clothing than expected (like not stopping at the underwear), before trying to get frisky with the man before he could explain that he didn't mean it that way.

* in ''{{Evolution}}'', Ira is reading the periodic table printed on the back of Allison's T-shirt. He has a sudden idea, and when Allison asks him he explains and adds "Take off your shirt, I'll show you." ThoseTwoGuys hanging around exclaim together, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "YES!"]]

* A classic version of this happens twice in the second ''CrocodileDundee'' movie. First Mick tells Sue, "Take your bra off." She responds that it's "hardly the time" due to being on the run from a drug lord and his goons. He the uses the bra as a distraction for said goons. Later in the same film, when he captures one of the too lead drug lords and holds a knife to his throat, Mick orders him to take his pants off... in order to disguise himself. The look on the captive's face says he believes a different interpretation.

Whatever the case, however, the woman mistakenly concludes that the demand ''is'' sexual in nature, and reacts in kind... which can lead to different developments:

* Female-and-female example: In ''HidamariSketch'', a slip on the stairs by Miyako and a good catch by Yuno leads to the strap on the outer part of her uniform to come loose. This isn't too bad, as the uniform also has a white shirt, and Miyako is wearing a t-shirt underneath, to the disappointment of some boys. The strap problem leads Miyako -- and Yuno, who came along -- to the art preparation room, where Yoshinoya-sensei would sew it back together. While there, however, Yoshinoya notices a loose button on Yuno's ''shirt'', and has her take it off, to her shock. (Though it is temporarily replaced with... whatever that is.)

* A non-verbal example can be found in [[http://www.gameoverforever.com/gags_en/go_g_072.html this strip]] of the French comic ''GameOver''.
* Even sweet and innocent ArchieComics get in on the act, with Archie doing it to Betty (as shown in the page image). Find full details of that story [[http://www.misterkitty.org/extras/stupidcovers/stupidcomics196.html here]].

* JamesBond often does this, usually at the end of the film and using a lame excuse like "you're all wet".

* ''ElGoonishShive'' has [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-03-03 a scene]] where girl!Elliot certainly looks ready to hammer Tedd for telling her to take her shirt off before he can hastily explain his wanting to test the particulars of [[GenderBender Elliot's]] [[AttractiveBentGender transformations]]. Of course, it doesn't help that Tedd both has a certain reputation and had [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-11-11 suggested the same thing earlier]] for ''entirely'' perverted reasons.

* In the sixth season of ''{{Futurama}}'', Zapp Brannigan suggests this to a pinned and dehydrated Leela so she can cool down, the first step of several to invoke an AdamAndEvePlot.

* The ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' story arc ''The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya'': Kyon, lost in an AlternateUniverse, tries to talk to Mikuru, but she doesn't remember him. Then he mentions that the Mikuru he knows has a star-shaped birhtmark on her chest -- and he asks her dumbly to show hers. This earns him a punch in the face.

* One skit in ''TalesOfTheAbyss'' involves the party (minus Anise) complaining that inside a volcano, Jade seems to be walking off coolly while the rest is obviously getting too hot with the temperature... then the party suspects he's hiding some cooling Fon technique under his cloak... then Luke and the rest told Jade to take off his clothes and tried to strip him... only to be stopped by Tear.

* In ''TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode "Nurse Stimpy", Stimpy decides to give Ren a sponge bath. Ren's reluctant about taking off his fur, so Stimpy has to ask him to do that, [[HoYay eventually suggesting that he does it for Ren.]]

* In the last episode of ''FullMetalPanic? Fumoffu'', after a seemingly deadly virus spread to the school, Sōsuke drags Kaname to the infirmary and asks her to take off her clothes. Kaname reacts all flustered, believing he want to [[YouDontWantToDieAVirginDoYou make love to her before they'd die]]. [[spoiler:But Sōsuke learned that the "virus" only attacks synthetic fibers, including clothes, and he's just asking her to undress to save her school uniform before it'd disintegrate.]]

* Non-verbal example in an episode of ''{{Bones}}''.

* ''Eiken'': Almost immediately after [[ButtMonkey Densuke]] somehow ends up joining the Eiken club against his will, [[HighSchoolHustler Kirika]] orders him to take off his clothes to wear a rather effeminate outfit. He begins to ask why and protest, but she forcefully makes him do it anyway... In fact, throughout the series, [[{{Jerkass}} Kirika]] usually tells him to take off his clothes and then forcefully strips him ''mid-sentence''.
