Yes Man

Okay, so I went and saw this the other day - essentially, the gag consists of five shots. In the first, a tracking shot through a jumble sale ends up with Jim Carrey saying 'I know plenty of people who are willing to give', followed by a shot of Terence Stamp's motivational speaker doing his stuff at the seminar. He asks something of the audience, and then we see them as they all shout 'YES'. The convention hall is split into two halves, and I would guess that only those on the front rows and along the aisle were actually naked, with everyone else wearing flesh-coloured underwear - that's what this chap says anyway, and he was there. Apparently, his arse in the next shot, which just looks back along the aisle to Terence Stamp, giving a receding vista of buttocks along the way. And that's it; the last shot (of both the gag and of the film) is of Stamp looking on with a mixture of surprise and disgust. The whole thing lasts less than five seconds.

I guess I had somewhat higher hopes, but it's not terrible - it doesn't come anywhere near as good as that other mass covered nudity scene in recent years, 'Scary Movie 4', which I still think was the high-watermark of this particular type of joke. However, I'm but young - so, forum members, what I want to know, is have there been any other movies that contained a scene of nudity (covered or uncovered) from extras, as the punchline to a joke, or at least in a non-erotic fashion? I'm struggling to think of many so far - I do remember that in the Jimi Mistry vehicle 'The Guru', there's a bit where two characters return back to a stuffy dinner party only to find that the guests have been persuaded to take their clothes off in the meantime, but the extras in that one were verging on senior citizen status if I remember rightly. Can anyone think of any other examples?

The one that comes immediately to mind is the naked classroom scene from "Mumford". Martin Short relates a dream he had about coming to school and entering a classroom, only to find everyone else naked. Not much actual nudity to be seen, but if you look close, you can see a couple of the girls' nipples.

Thanks for the detailed scene info and the link, BTW. Interesting reading.
