History Main / TrouserSpace

* ''Franchise/LupinIII'' likes to hide some of his back-up gadgets in his boxers. Sometimes, his boxers ''are'' the back-up gadget.

* After Wrestling/BulletClub [[TraumaticHaircut forcibly shaved]] Wrestling/{{ROH}} World Champion Wrestling/JayLethal in 2016, their chosen challenger Adam Cole kept Lethal's formerly iconic braids in his tights.

* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Al likes to store things in his loincloth. Despite the fact that the loincloth is not actually ''hiding'' anything due to his... metallic nature, it never fails to freak out the people who see it. They usually tell him to stop doing it, but he seems to like the attention.

* Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' once decided against the gas gun, knife, or pie he had up his sleeve and instead went for the bazooka that came ''out of his pants''.

[[folder: Real Life ]]

* In ''Film/{{Batman}}'' SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker pulls an absurdly long-barreled revolver out of the front of his trousers. It's so long that he shouldn't have been able to ''walk'' with that thing down his trouser leg, at least not without a serious limp.

* There is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj0B51vs8RI a video]] on Website/YouTube (believed to be a "warning video" to highlight the dangers of letting teenagers wear baggy pants) that shows a teenager pulling an absolutely improbable amount of guns out of his pants... ''including a full-size shotgun''.
** It first achieved notoriety when it was shown in ''Film/BowlingForColumbine'', long before jeans went from baggy to skinny (Fashion Marches On?).
* A notorious design of some school uniforms in Australia included a change purse in the front of the shorts ON THE INSIDE and no other pockets.

* From ''Film/KissKissBangBang'', Gay Perry pulls a gun from here. It freaks Harry out.

-->(reaches into waistline as crowd gasps and screams; Bart pulls out paper, they sigh with relief)
-->(Or was it disappointment?)

* Done with a not ridiculously large object in ''Film/{{Snatch}}'', but still lampshaded and spoofed. At one point two wannabe gangsters are going to turn over a huge diamond to a mob boss in order to get themselves out of trouble with said mob boss. When they're outside the mobster's headquarters, it turns out that the slightly [[TheDitz ditzy]] one has hidden it in TrouserSpace. The Following conversation takes place:
-->'''Sol:''' Well why did you put it down there?
-->'''Vince:''' In case we got mugged.
-->'''Sol:''' You're not from this planet are you, Vincent? Who is gonna mug two black fellas, who're holding pistols, while sitting in a car that's worth less than your shirt?!!
** And then right after this, a different gangster who is after the diamond taps on the window of their car with his [[HandCannon Desert Eagle]]. It turns out TrouserSpace actually keeps the diamond hidden a little longer.

* Lampshaded and parodied in ''Film/LeanOnMe'', where one high school character imitates the Principal's demeanor while unlocking a door. He reaches into his beltline, finds something, and says "ooh, thats not the key".

* Similarly, In ''Film/{{Batman}}'' SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker pulls an absurdly long-barreled revolver out of the front of his trousers. It's so long that he shouldn't have been able to ''walk'' with that thing down his trouser leg, at least not without a serious limp.

* In ''Film/{{Versus}}'', one character (shorter than the others, wearing blue jeans, Yakuza) pulls a gun from trouserspace--specifically, from down the seat of his pants. However, the running gag is that his gun keeps getting taken away from him over the course of the movie--and he keeps pulling additional ones from the same spot.

* Our hero, Lee Everett, from ''VideoGame/{{The Walking Dead}}'' seems to be able to store just about anything he needs in his pants, from the realistic (a pistol) to the downright insane (a blowtorch).

* Speaking of {{Creator/Sierra}}, this trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry 2: Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places)'' where Larry has to collect a 36-gallon trashcan-sized Grotesque Gulp soda. The narrator wonders how Larry's going to carry it with him... and then remembers that this is an adventure game and lets Larry just stuff the drink in his pocket.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' features Cody somehow storing a loaf of bread and a can of soda in his pants without any apparent difficulty walking.

* ''Forced Vengeance'' (1982). An employee denies he's skimming from the casino. Creator/ChuckNorris forces him to take off his pants where he's hiding the money, then walk trouser-less through the casino [[HumiliationConga being laughed at by patrons]].

* ''Film/BlackPanther2018''. BlackMarket ArmsDealer Ulysses Klaue is selling a vibranium axe-head to a member of the CIA. He unzips his crotch and takes it from his pants, saying he though he'd save the money for a suitcase.

* In ''TheSaboteur'', Sean Devlin is always seen pulling out his guns somewhere inside his torso or pants.

* In ''Cops: Their Lives In Their Own Words'' an undercover policeman relates how he has a small automatic hidden in his jocks, and had to go fishing around for it while a hitman was blasting away at him.

* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' Jerin keeps his lockpicks there. (Possibly also his ChastityDagger, though he can remove that without too much indecency, apparently)

* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'': Haruko seems to be able to fit her Rickenbacker bass guitar inside her underwear. That, a giant boxing glove on a spring and who knows what else...

* ''Franchise/LupinIII'' likes to hide some of his back-up gadgets in his briefs. Sometimes, his briefs ''are'' the back-up gadget.
** ''Anime/LupinIIICrisisInTokyo'' features Lupin pulling a yo-yo out of his briefs at one point.

* In the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons 3.5'' edition game, there is a way for a character to not only develop immunity to poison but actually absorb them for healing and stat boosts. On the Character Optimization forum at the WizardsOfTheCoast message boards, a character called the Trouserfang Dwarf was developed who got [[GameBreaker twinked this ability to the max]] and would walk around with his [[StealthPun trousers full of the most venomous snakes]] he could buy and monstrously overpowered stats.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooInArabianNights'', MagillaGorilla pulls an enormous telescope out of his very tight trousers. (Insert your own joke about having a phallic shaped object that expands in your pants here.)
