* In ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'', Gabrielle is heading home, but she can't stand walking anymore and tries hitchhiking. After the traditional thumb attempt gets her nowhere, she shows some leg and is very annoyed when it doesn't work. An attempt to spice it up further results in her slipping and falling over. She ultimately has to resort to pretending to be pregnant. This almost doesn't work, either, but the first cart driver to see her like this is someone who had given her a ride in a previous episode, so he doesn't mind helping her along.

[[caption-width-right:350:Whoa, momma! Check out the cute hitchhiker!]]
[[AlwaysFemale Female]] hitchhikers on the side of the road will often be tempted to show a little leg in order to attract a ride. Made famous by Creator/ClaudetteColbert doing a leg flash in the 1932 movie ''Film/ItHappenedOneNight'' but has become a DeadHorseTrope since and is rarely played straight these day.
Not to be confused with ShowSomeLeg where this kind of FanService is used by Alice to impede Bob or to distract him enough to get something past his radar.

!!Examples:
[[AC:Anime & Manga]]
* Used in an early episode of ''{{Anime/Gasaraki}}'' by two female JSSDF soldiers in a war-torn country when they need to borrow a set of wheels to find their missing comrade, and a couple passing Americans are more than happy to oblige after seeing them posed on the side of the road. [[SexyMentor Ataka]] is amused, while [[{{Bifauxnen}} Kaburagi]] is visibly embarrassed afterwards.
* ''Anime/MaiHime'': The main PowerTrio of girls are stranded by the roadside. ''[[DefrostingIceQueen Natsuki]]'' loses the draw. HilarityEnsues.
* Deconstructed in ''Anime/MaiOtome'': In an attempt to hitch a ride with a passing van, Nao slices off [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl Natsuki's]] pants. The soldiers in the van promptly arrest them for indecent exposure.
* In the ''Manga/LoveHina'' manga, when Kitsune, Motoko, and Mutsumi are trying to get a ride to the airport, Kitsune lifts up Motoko's shirt to entice travellers... and promptly causes a 20-car pileup.
* Subverted in ''Anime/StrikeWitches'', when Erica poses in order to induce an approaching truck to stop and give her, Minna, and Gertrude a ride, and the truck doesn't even slow down. Considering that the "no pants" look seems to be popular in Britannia, maybe the driver was simply too jaded to fall for it. Which just goes to show that fanservice is relative.
* Pulled once in ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'', when the team's truck runs out of gas during a trip across America, and the group tries to get a car to stop so they can siphon some more. After several failed attempts from the men of the group, Mamori and Suzuna accomplish the task by donning skimpy outfits and posing, causing a male-driven car to slam their brakes for a better look, after which Hiruma "borrows" some gas from the hapless guys.
* In the D-City Rock music video from Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt, there's a segment where the girls get stranded in the desert and are unable to hitch a ride - until they strip down to nothing but [[HandOrObjectUnderwear signs that say "Go to D-City"]].
[[AC:Comic Books]]
* Parodied in a Creator/SergioAragones cartoon (in ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' #120). A pretty girl tries to hitch a ride by pulling up her skirt. A car stops, the driver gets out, takes a picture, then gets back into his car and drives away.
* Done once by Cinzia Otherside in ''ComicBook/{{Rat-Man}}'' to find a ride. As Cinzia is actually a very muscular crossdresser, it causes a dozen car crashes.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}'', Channon, Spider Jerusalem's female bodyguard, goes straight to flashing her boobs to hail a cab in pouring rain. This being the City, home of every weird fetish imaginable, it takes Yelena joining in, and both stepping into the street, to get the driver to stop.
[[AC:Films -- Animation]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventuresHowISpentMyVacation'', Plucky Duck briefly and inexplicably transforms his leg into a beautiful woman's leg in order to stop a passing car.
[[AC:Films -- Live-Action]]
* In possibly the most famous example, a hitchhiking Creator/ClaudetteColbert picks up a ride by flashing her legs in Frank Capra's ''Film/ItHappenedOneNight''. This one has been parodied so many times that many people now don't realize this is where the gag actually came from.
* Parodied very soon after in Creator/LaurelAndHardy's ''Film/WayOutWest'' when Stanley shows some leg to stop a passing stagecoach!
* Invoked by Julia Roberts's character in ''Film/MysticPizza''. She's not successful. Her date decides to give it a try, prompting a woman to pull over when he drops his pants.
* In ''Film/SlumsOfBeverlyHills'', Marissa Tomei's character gets a ride from a trucker by standing in the middle of the road and opening her bathrobe. The headlights shining through the robe suggested nothing underneath.
* Parodied in ''Film/EuroTrip'': at some point, the girl of the group tries to get a ride in the highway flashing the drivers, but since it is in Europe (where they have lesbians selling orange juice in [=TV=] commercials) nobody stops (even when she's completely topless and jumping up and down repeatedly)... until someone makes the ButtMonkey of the group show some ass.
* In ''Film/CannonballRunII'', the mafia get The Sheik to stop his car so they can kidnap him by the simple expedient of having a showgirl [[SexyCoatFlashing open her blouse]] as he drives past.
* Hilariously subverted in ''[[Film/{{Rush 2013}} Rush]]''. Marlene's car breaks down and after Niki fails to catch passerby's attention, Marlene tries, saying they wouldn't get help any other way. It seems to work, but it's then subverted when it turns out the two people that stopped are Ferrari fans and recognize [[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne Niki Lauda]] on sight.
* In ''Film/AmericanDad'', when Roger is trying to get a ride with Stan. It didn't work, so Roger flung himself at a car to get it to stop.
[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* In ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "1969", O'Neill has Carter try to get someone to pull over; she doesn't show any leg, but O'Neill does insist that she go out and do it alone. This is subverted, however, in that it doesn't work. Teal'c decides that "This method is ineffective" and gets a ride by walking out into the middle of the road in front of a van.
[[AC:Music]]
* The cover of Roger Waters' "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" shows a woman who has taken this a bit far. She's nude but for a tiny backpack and trying to flag down a ride.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* In Creator/AdamCadre's ''I-0'', a sketchy guy will pull over and offer you a lift if you actively try to hitchhike -- but he'll also do so automatically at random intervals if you're not wearing a shirt (or not wearing pants).
[[AC:Web Comics]]
* Molly, of all people, attempts this while hitchhiking in [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20080524.html this strip]] of ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'', but the fact that she's covered with fur proves a hindrance.
[[AC:Western Animation]]
* In a WholeEpisodeFlashback of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', a young Scrooge [=McDuck=] is shown having trouble hitchhiking after arriving in America, until he lifts his kilt, drawing a young lady's coach over.
* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'': Parodied in "Brain Storm", as the Brain attempts to hitch a lift while wearing a Verkimer Suit by hitching the metal on its leg in a parody of Claudia Colbert in ''Film/ItHappenedOneNight''. Unsurprisingly, it fails.
* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, of all people, pulls this off while acting like a hitchhiker to stop ComicBook/LexLuthor's car (driven by HarleyQuinn) to pick him up in the ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "World's Finest".
* One ''WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker'' cartoon set in TheWildWest has Woody DisguisedInDrag as a Miss Kitty {{expy}} so as to get a ride aboard a passing stagecoach. Woody pulls up his dress's hemline to reveal a mannequin's shapely leg, which causes the stage driver to stop on a dime and invites Woody aboard for free.
