Line 46:
* All right, the puppets in ''[[Hobgoblins]]'' never actually make it ''into'' the pants of the teens they're attacking, but they do dance and writhe to try and make it look like they're being attacked. It's probably better than the awful 80's dancing they were doing before.
{{quote|"That looks like a new dance! ''Kinky!''}}
* No one was dancing, but in the movie of ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'', when Draco gets turned into a ferret he gets put in Crabbe's pants. There is a song about this by the wizard rock group "Draco and the Malfoys" called "Goyle's Pants". (The song gets it wrong about whose pants ferret!Draco went into.)
* Several ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' shorts make use of this.
** One of the earliest being "Ants in the Pantry" with a mouse down the back of somebody's shirt, usually leading the Stooges to start doing [[That Russian Squat Dance]] to the rhythm of the victim's hopping.
Line 60:
* ''[[Discworld]]''
** It is frequently mentioned that a popular rural entertainment is a man with weasels (or ferrets) down his trousers. In the novel ''[[I Shall Wear Midnight]]'', there is terrible dissapointment when he doesn't show up for the fair one year.
** Also happens in ''[[The Amazing Maurice and Hishis Educated Rodents]]'' when a highwayman attempts [[Mugging the Monster|to hold up]] the coach carrying said rodents.
* Ferret legging is popular in the [[Balkanize Me|People's Republic of West Yorkshire]] in [[Charles Stross]]'s ''Singularity Sky''. Owing to a [[Future Imperfect|certain amount of confusion]] as to which traditions belong to which parts of North Britain, they have to seal up their kilts with duct-tape first.
* In ''[[Dragaera|Taltos]]'', Vlad carries baby Loiosh around everywhere with him, tucked into his shirt where it's warm. Luckily, Loiosh is sentient and has the sense to subvert the "uncomfortable squirming" part of this trope.
