August 5 is National Underwear Day. It’s true, y’all. I already unknowingly celebrated this morning by fast-forwarding through last night’s Queer as Folk Logo repeat to see Brian (Gale Harold) attend an Underwear Party. Yay me.
You can celebrate by naming the TV or movie scene you think of first. Just keep it PG. (Notice the restraint that I showed by not linking to the QAF scene. From episode 302. Wink.) Because I know where some of you are headed, I’ve embedded David Cook’s Guitar Hero commercial below.
Your turn.








After being distracted with the David-Cook-in-underwear appearance… um, the only thing I can think of is the leeches scene from Stand By Me. Still creeps me out. But when I was a twelve-year-old, it was AWESOME.
It’s gotta be Tom Cruise in “Risky Business” (ah the days when everybody in the country didn’t hate that guy).
I also randomly thought of Cameron Diaz dancing in her Spiderman underwear in the “Charlie’s Angels” movie.
I obviously thought of Tom Cruise in “Risky Business” first.
Then immediately after that the beauty of Christian Bale working out in his underwear in “American Psycho” appeared in my head. Now he’s all I can think about. thanks. JK.
The club/bar that Stanford Blatch goes to in his tighty whities.
Ummm, maybe Brian and Justin sex scene starting with matching black underwear and interrupted by the shocked Stockwell? That scene was hot! (with the Ready to Go song to boot)
Besides Tom Cruise in Risky Business, I’d have to say any scene in Sex and the City where Carrie is supposedly in her nightgown and you can clearly see her bra & panties underneath. Umm, I know that she is against nudity in her work, but really, who the hell wears a bra under a nightgown? Especially when she’s supposedly had sex with whatever guy she was with the night before? Thank you for letting me finally get that off my chest.
For a considerably less sexy option, I’d guess I’d have to mention the Bro/Mansierre on “Seinfeld.”
Kate in her undies, making out with Jack on LOST…
Haha, I actually thought of the leeches in Stand By Me too. So nasty, yet I can never stop chuckling.
1. Tom Cruise
2. Full Monty
Obviously Risky Business. Also when Eric pants Donna on That ’70s Show and everyone saw her granny panties. Anyone else remember that?
I thought of the “Friends” episode where Monica and Chandler are sneaking around and Rachel finds Chandler’s undies on the couch. To cover for them, Joey says that they’re his, “I’m Joey. I’m disgusting. I take off my underwear on people’s couches and leave it there.”
I wish you DID show that 302 QAF-clip! Better yet, that “Ready to go”-scene with the matching black underwear was much hotter.
That jockstrap thing Gale Harold wears in the first episode of QAF.
Numerous shoots on The Janet Dickinson Modeling Agency.
Richard Gere doing pushups in his jock in Looking for Mr. Goodbar.
Thomas Gibson in jockey briefs in Love and Human Remains.
Doug Savant in tighty whities in Masquerade.
Matthew Perry and Julia Roberts exchanging underwear in a public restroom in Friends, and her stealing his clothes.
Any number of parodies of the Risky Business scene — Ron Reagan on SNL, David Cook and David Archuleta on Idol.
Reading that Gale’s jock in QAF had to be created by wardrobe out of two jocks of different sizes (we all know he has a TINY waist – ahem!)
Before I scrolled down and saw the embedded video, the first thing I thought of was David Cook in his tighty whities doing Guitar Hero. But since that’s been mentioned, I’d say my second favorite would be George Clooney in just plain white cotton boxers in “Out of Sight”. Dead Sexy.
