There are many everyday situations where people are only visible from the waist upwards; because they are sitting behind a desk, or seen through a frame. On television, it often happens that the lower half of somebody is off the screen and never seen at all. Because of this, it can be a surprise when somebody's lower half is revealed, perhaps revealing an unusual outfit below their waist. If they are lacking pants, and the audience is initially unaware, then it is Pants-Free. This can show an apparently human character to be a hybrid, such as a centaur or mermaid. This can also happen when a character who normally wears an outfit obscuring their legs suddenly reveals them by wearing shorts, or a short skirt. A more extreme example is if only a character's head is visible for some time, and then suddenly their body is revealed. This can also be used to set up an Unsettling Gender-Reveal. This trope can also reveal somebody using a wheelchair. Truth in Television, as there are many situations where somebody is only visible from the waist upwards, such as seen behind a desk, through a window, or on a screen, especially with the increase of video calls and conferencing, in which many people only make their upper half presentable, which can lead to unexpected reveals. Sub-Trope of Reveal Shot. Often overlaps with Behind the Black, or Big Little Man, if the reveal shows somebody to be unexpectedly tall or short. |

Miracleman: Used as the Framing Device twist of Evelyn Cream's last appearance (at least, before the Neil Gaiman continuation). The first few panels are close-ups of his face, with a completely serene expression as he narrates the events leading up to this point. The last page reveals all this internal monologuing is happening in his last second of life after his head got torn clean off his body. | |

The Simpsons: In "Marge in Chains" Mayor Quimby is holding a press conference, claiming that he cancelled his Bahamas vacation to oversee the flu plaguing Springfield. At first, the live footage shown on TV shows him in the Mayor's office wearing a suit and tie, it then cuts to the actual filming location in question, showing what's off camera. First, it reveals that Quimby isn't wearing proper pants, but swim trunks, before panning out to reveal that the office is just a set on the beach, revealing that Quimby is lying about cancelling his vacation. One Treehouse of Horror segment had the family visit an island where Dr. Hibbert is turning the people of Springfield into half-animal hybrids. Homer is poking around the stable when he runs into Ned Flanders who at first looks normal. Then, Ned opens the gate he's standing behind to reveal his upper body is now mounted on the body of a cow. |

Clockwise: When Brian is desperately trying to find a tractor, he knocks on the door of what he believes is a farm, and sees the face of a man looking through a little window. When he is admitted, he begins to emphasise the urgency of his situation, then stops short as he sees that the man is wearing a monk's habit, and that he has entered a monastery. | |

In the episode "Trevor's Pants," the cold open shows Trevor from the waist-up, then the camera pans down to reveal that he's wearing pants after all. | |

In the The X-Files episode "The Amazing Maleeni", in investigating the death of Herman Pinchbeck, agents Mulder and Scully pay a visit to his twin brother Albert at the bank the latter works at. Given that the victim was dead for a while, but the victim was seen performing stage magic just days before, Mulder accuses Albert of impersonating his brother, even though Albert is in a wheelchair and wearing a neck brace, claiming to be a victim of a car accident. Albert then gets out of his desk, revealing that both legs were amputated below the knee, causing Mulder to wince at his theory being shot down like that. | |

They only see her attractive face at first, which encourages the previously reluctant Cat to go along with the rescue, however after her cell door is opened it’s revealed that the rest of her body is that of a grotesque, slimy, plant-like monster, much to Cat's horror. | |

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!: All of the Monsters of the week are purchased by King Dedede through a company called NME. To do this he talks to an NME salesman through a video call. Said salesman appears to be an ordinary human businessman in a suit, which makes him a case of Non-Standard Character Design when compared to the rest of the cast, who are more cartoonish. At the end of the series, the salesman is seen in person for the very first time, where it's revealed that he has the same stubby legs that most of the characters have, making him extremely short and oddly proportioned. | |

This happens in Shrek, as Lord Farquaad's short stature is revealed to the audience, Shrek and Fiona. When Farquaad first appears and marches towards the torture chamber, the lower and upper halves of his body are seen in separate shots, giving him the impression of normality, until the next shot, where he is seen in full, alongside the guards. When Shrek first sees Farquaad at the tournament, Farquaad is standing on his podium with only his upper half visible, so Shrek does not yet know how short he is. (A Deleted Scene of Shrek and Farquaad together would have followed on from this.) When Fiona first meets Farquaad, he is on his horse, apparently of normal proportions, as his short legs are hidden by his armoured legs. When his men then dismount him and put him in front of Fiona, she is then shocked to see how short he is. |

In Brat-Halla, the young Norse gods are sent to school where the Goddess Hel is their homeroom teacher. She outwardly takes the form of a sympathetic and approachable girl at most in her early twenties. But she is also the Goddess of Death and, as she reminds her students, has a Meaningful Name. When some of the boys in her class develop the inevitable crush and begin to behave inappropriately, she employs Shock Therapy to get them out of it and shows them exactly why she never wears anything other than fully covering jeans on her lower body. The Goddess Hel is half living woman and half rotting corpse. In this webcomic, Hel is fully living female from the waist up. When her jeans come off, the boys are suitably horrified. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Just One Bite", after Squidward Tentacles gets addicted to eating Krabby Patties SpongeBob warns him of the consequences. Squidward sarcastically asks SpongeBob if he'll blow up after eating too many Krabby Patties, to which the latter responds that it will go to his thighs first, and then he'll blow up. Cue Squidward's gigantic thighs showing up after being shown from the waist up in the previous scene. At the end of the episode "Clams", Mr. Krabs rises out of the sea after a vicious struggle with the clam that ate his millionth dollar. At first, only his head and his left arm (holding the money) can be seen; he claims that after much struggle, he and the clam had a deal, which is how he can get his money back. When Spongebob asks him what the clam got in return, Krabs jumps up into the ship saying "nothing important" - while he has lost every part of his body sans his head and left arm. |

In one episode of Hercules: The Animated Series, Tempest is in a bar full of centaurs. The bartender is surprised when he sees her legs and realises she's a human (in a shot that mimics this trope). | |

Delicious in Dungeon: The Lunatic Magician captures Falin Touden in Chapter 29; as he says he'll give them a new shape to replace their "inconvenient" body, their lower half starts to bubble with magic. When they reappear in Chapter 37, it's as a giant chimera with a feathered dragon body in place of their legs. | |

Wild Cards: In the story A Dose of Reality, a reclusive female doctor who has been indoctrinated by her bigoted, anti-wild card family, goes to work in the Jokertown Clinic initially just so she could get her hands into research that would allow her to craft a virus to kill all wild carders. When she first meets Dr. Bradley Finn, she sees him behind a counter and is attracted to this handsome stranger. He comes from behind the counter and is revealed as a centaur, causing her to be appalled. The whole point of the story is how she gradually realizes Finn really is the marvellous, handsome man she initially thought he was. | |

In The Wotch this is how the readers are introduced to minor character Allison "Ally" Taverner. She's a convenience store clerk and owner, in her first appearance Jason asks her if she's seen anything unusual that evening whilst on the search for a werecat (long story). Ally replies from behind her counter no it's been a quiet night... but after Jason leaves we cut to the other side of the counter revealing she's a centaur. A later strip reveals she's under a perception filter spell that only certain people can see through. | |

One issue of Fantastic Four has The Trapster (also known as Paste Pot Pete) gain access to the Baxter Building through the roof. After blundering his way around the upper floors, not doing much damage, he encounters a receptionist at her desk and attempts to take her hostage. To Pete's great surprise, the receptionist judo throws him overhead and onto the floor. Pete's last thought before losing consciousness is that he was beaten by a dumb broad. An overhead view reveals the "broad" only appears human from the waist up; from there down, she's entirely mechanized and physically attached to the workstation. Pete was beaten by a robot, part of Reed's security system. | |

After they enter it, all seems normal, aside from the characters being placed oddly low on the panels. Grape notices she's suddenly the same height as the diminutive Tarot and looks down... | |

Prey: When Tommy finally finds Jen, his girlfriend, they're kept in some kind of medical pod, but seem to be intact. Then they complain that they can't feel their legs, and the pod bursts open. It turns out they've been fused to a monster from the waist down, and that monster wants Tommy's blood, forcing Tommy to kill them in self-defence and as an act of mercy. | |

The Dunwich Horror: For the first half of the story Wilbur Whateley is only seen or described from the waist up; his lower body is always concealed with long pants. When he is found dead and his body is examined, the reason is quickly clear: from the waist up he looks human, but below the waist he looks like his father Yog-Sothoth. | |
