National Underwear Day: What scene do you think of first?

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.

  • Ceballos

    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.

  • Cinderlily

    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.

  • chri

    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)

  • pede

    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.

  • Ceballos

    For a considerably less sexy option, I’d guess I’d have to mention the Bro/Mansierre on “Seinfeld.”

  • ary

    Kate in her undies, making out with Jack on LOST…

  • Tenna

    Haha, I actually thought of the leeches in Stand By Me too. So nasty, yet I can never stop chuckling.

  • Stephanie T.

    1. Tom Cruise
    2. Full Monty

  • Kristina

    Obviously Risky Business. Also when Eric pants Donna on That ’70s Show and everyone saw her granny panties. Anyone else remember that?

  • Bethann

    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.”

  • Sankinn

    I wish you DID show that 302 QAF-clip! Better yet, that “Ready to go”-scene with the matching black underwear was much hotter.

  • ducdebrabant

    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!)

  • Beth

    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.

  • Julie

    Well, that David Cook commercial left me incapable of thinking about anything else, so that sort of beat the purpose. LOL

  • jen

    Honestly, I immediately thought of Risky Business (which I’ve actually never seen) but then, like a millisecond later, I thought of Quailman from the good ol Nickelodeon cartoon Doug. And that made me smile. When are they going to put out the quality 90s Nick shows on DVD?

  • Vero

    Shirtless Sawyer (LOST, like ya didn’t know) sitting in bed with his crisp white boxers and glasses, reading a book.

  • Anonymous

    Of course I immediately thought of Risky Business, but to add a new one i will say “Sixteen Candles” when Sam gives her undies to Farmer Ted and he charges everyone to look at them in the men’s bathroom. When he comes out of the stall and lifts them over his head it is priceless!

  • Anonymous

    OMG Quailman!!!!

  • spanishdream

    GALE HAROLD in underwear in any situation…place…time of the day…or the year…
    It´s not exactly underwear, but I would have liked to see some clear and complete picture of Gale with the silver speedo of the season 4

  • EP Sato

    I’m thinking the writers at EW need to get some good loving ASAP. The postings have been “sex sex sex” for the last few days now. Tom Jane is Hung, TV underwear, Nicole Kidman is suddenly Sexy, etc. Can we give the Pdub writers an extended “off to find us some pirate treasure” weekend?
    I dig on sex as much as the next person, but think Pdub’s getting a little too much kink lately.

  • Jessica

    My absolute first thought was of David Cook’s awesome GH commercial…How do you know the inner workings of my mind?
    Next thought was of Callie dancing around in her undies on Grey’s Anatomy. Love her!

  • ducdebrabant

    We now return you to our regularly scheduled sex. Kindly don’t let the party be pooped.

  • Jessica-again

    And whoever said Quailman is my hero! I love Doug:)

  • Benny

    I’ll have to say the scene in “Alien” where Sigourney Weaver runs around in her panties is the first that comes to mind.

  • Ladytink_534

    Jason Dohring on Veronica Mars during the 80s dance.

  • Emmy

    Empire Records, Live Tyler. Wearing mismatched bra and knickers. So cute. Or Billie Piper in an eye popping array of sexy lingerie as Belle Du Jour.

  • Ally

    There was this amazing credit card ad that had a naked guy running and running, and on his journey he’d pick up various clothes and accessories and products. I think he was running to a church for his wedding. Anyway, the guy was fit as, and suited both underwear and no clothes at all (being an ad showed nationwide it was obviously not obscene).

  • colleen

    Gale’s 2xist jockstrap in QAF pilot.
    BTW, tonight is also National Night Out. What serendipity!
