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

Aug 5, 2008, 01:21 PM | by Mandi Bierly

Categories: 100% Pure Cheese, Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion, Happy Holidays, PopWatch Confessional, ¡Gale Harold!

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.

The Miami Vice episode where Zito's house blew up and he had to live with Switek. One night, Switek heard a noise and went investigate and found Zito vaccuuming the living room in his underpants.

* Dermot Mulroney slipping off his underwear on the way to the shower in "The Wedding Date."
* Jesse Metcalfe in a girl's thong in "John Tucker Must Die."
* Gale Harold in an unending procession of v-neck white t-shirts and black wifebeaters.

Hugh Grant discovering Renee Zellweger's granny panties when they start making out in Bridget Jones Diary:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Cleaver: Now these are very silly little boots, Jones. And this is a very silly little dress. And, um, these are, f*** me, absolutely enormous panties.
Bridget: Jesus. F***.
Daniel Cleaver: No, no. Don't apologize. I like them. Hello, Mummy.
[they kiss]
Daniel Cleaver: I'm sorry, I have to have another look. They're too good to be true.
Bridget: No...
Daniel Cleaver: They're nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm wearing something similar myself.

Well, "Risky Business" is the first thing, obviously. But also the opening scene of "Lost in Translation" with Scarlett Johansson's transparent undies and Sara Ramirez dancing around in her underwear in "Grey's Anatomy." Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd were pretty sexy in their "cheerleading underwear" scene in "Someone Like You."

Tie for me with David Cook and Gale Harold (not to mention the other beautiful QAF men), but not in the 2xist pair. Billy Magnussen of As the World Turns wears them very well too.

colleen Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 07:49 PM EST

Gale's 2xist jockstrap in QAF pilot.

BTW, tonight is also National Night Out. What serendipity!

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).

Emmy Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 07:03 PM EST

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.

Ladytink_534 Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 05:54 PM EST

Jason Dohring on Veronica Mars during the 80s dance.

Benny Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 05:29 PM EST

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

Jessica-again Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 05:14 PM EST

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

ducdebrabant Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 05:14 PM EST

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

Jessica Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 05:13 PM EST

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!

EP Sato Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:59 PM EST

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.

spanishdream Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:54 PM EST

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

Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:49 PM EST

OMG Quailman!!!!

Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:44 PM EST

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!

Vero Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:19 PM EST

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

jen Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:15 PM EST

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?

Julie Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:13 PM EST

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

Beth Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 04:11 PM EST

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.

ducdebrabant Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 03:57 PM EST

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!)

Sankinn Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 03:49 PM EST

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

Bethann Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 03:19 PM EST

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."

Kristina Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 02:56 PM EST

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

Stephanie T. Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 02:53 PM EST

1. Tom Cruise
2. Full Monty

Tenna Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 01:27 PM EST

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

ary Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 01:22 PM EST

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

Ceballos Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 01:10 PM EST

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

pede Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:50 PM EST

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.

chri Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:47 PM EST

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)

Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:44 PM EST

The club/bar that Stanford Blatch goes to in his tighty whities.

Cinderlily Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:40 PM EST

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.

Ceballos Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:31 PM EST

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.

Winona Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 12:30 PM EST

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.
