In Armed and Dangerous John Candy and Eugene Levy knock out and switch clothes with a drag queen and a leather man in a porn shop.

Father Ted where the bad guy switches clothes with a priest - except the bad guy is already a priest. "Why did you switch clothes? You're a priest!" "Ah it's just the way things were going."

if i get hit in the head with something so hard that it smashes (eg ceramic plant pot) then i hope it does knock me out, becuase otherwise it'll hurt like fuck.

Speaking pedantically here, it's better for you if the thing you're hit with breaks, because that means it absorbed more of the force of the blow. Also, even if it does ko yez, it'll hurt when you wake up anyway.

Back on topic, Tom Cruise does this with foam rubber masks in the Mission Impossible movies.

I'd sleep thru a lot of it though so it would be better. Although i would lose my clothes i guess.

Did James Bond ever do this? It seems like he must have, but I can't think of a specific example.

Dr. No, I'm almost sure of it.

I like the 8 million Family Guy gags on this. Especially the one where Peter then knocks out a guy wearing his normal clothes and changes back.

Simpsons did a decent gag on this didn't they

Tom acts with the emotional range of a foam rubber mask at the best of times, so that disguise would be foolproof.

This happened fairly regularly on Get Smart as I remember.

That Father Ted episode was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread!

In 24, Jack does his fair share of 'knocking out' innocent people. Not sure if he wore any of their clothes though.

Emma Peel to thread!!!!

Castle of Cagliostro has the only underwater clothes switcheroo I can think of.

Beating up women for their clothes and then making your getaway in drag is always a laff riot, as demonstrated by Gillo Pontecorvo in his 1966 screwball comedy caper, The Battle for Al's Shears?!?
