Look, Ma! No Pants!
Look, Ma! No Pants!

This trophy is earned by not having pants equipped on January 1st, 2006 or January 1st, 2016.

Look, Ma! No Pants! You're entitled to the "Look, Ma! No Pants!" Trophy, for having celebrated New Year's pantsless.

Notes

  • This trophy is called "Pantsless!" in the Trophy Case and "Look, Ma! No Pants!" at the Trophy Hut.
  • The system message "Happy New Year! Now take off your pants!" was displayed in chat.
  • Many players who received the trophy were not online and had not seen the message; they received it simply because they were lucky enough to not be wearing pants at the time.
  • According to the the January 2nd, 2006, Jick and Mr. Skullhead Radio Show, this trophy was a spur-of-the-moment idea and will never be seen again. Even so, Mr Skullhead continues to pull people's chains in system messages.
  • To many people's disappointment, this trophy wasn't available on any New Year's Day for the next 9 years.
  • On December 14, 2009, the Trophy Maker claimed in The Loathing Herald-Times-Tribune-Messenger that he would be offering this trophy again. However, Mr Skullhead made it clear in this forum post that the bulletin was a joke.
  • It was reintroduced during the 2015/2016 New Year. Players reported not getting the trophy at rollover despite not wearing pants. Players were advised to keep their pants off until Arizona's New Year (12:00 AM MST or 07:00 UTC), and those that did were duly rewarded.
  • This trophy's image name is "not_wearing_any_pants.gif", which is pretty self-explanatory.

References

  • In logic and mathematics, the exclamation point ("!") can indicate negation. Thus, if "pants" represents the state of wearing pants, then "!pants" represents the state of not wearing pants.
  • The title of this trophy refers to the common phrase "Look, Ma! No Hands!".
