I was reminded of this scene from "The Play That Goes Wrong", just a quick update....
There is a part were one of the actresses gets knocked out cold, and gets awkwardly pulled out of a window and off-screen by the other actors. In the chaos, her dress rides up for a sight gag. Behind the scenes they replace the KO'd actress, and the play continues.
But later on the actress wakes up and re-appears! But she is now half-naked...they used HER dress on her replacement! The actress is still loopy from being knocked out, and the other actors are trying to point out she doesn't have her clothes on.
She finally realizes, and she freaks out. She is totally embarrassed and is hiding behind set pieces, papers, other actors...all while still trying to deliver her lines! When done right it is a very good EUF scene!
The version I saw live the actress did the scene in fishnet stockings, short pink ruffled bloomers and a corset and she looked
amazing. Even better..when they pulled her out the window they held her upside-down, with her dress over her head, for a full minute. So the fact you can see her panties and stockings was the joke! (too bad I could not get a pic)
Your mileage may vary...it seems like some other versions tone the scene down so much, it's actually ruins the joke. Wearing gym shorts, a robe, and other comedy death. I did find this one which is a good example of what happens:
