From Quiz Uncovering Unmentionables!

Madonna is well known for pushing the envelope and acting controversially. The pink cone bra is no exception. This creation, designed by Jean Paul Gaultier at Madonna's request, was unveiled during her Blonde Ambition tour which opened in 1990 in Japan. Madonna was wearing a pinstripe suit and a monocle necklace and upon launching into the song "Express Yourself", removed the jacket to reveal the now extremely famous pink cone bra and corset.

Answer: Bowler

The bowler hat can also be known as a billycock and as a derby. It is made from felt. The felt is then hardened and rounded in the crown area. It was designed by James and George Lock. The Lock brothers then sent their design to Thomas and William Bowler. The Bowler brothers decided to produce the hat and because of their surname, they named it the Bowler. The Bowler hat was considered to be the type of hat that a servant would wear. In the big cities, the Bowler hat was identified as being worn by more professionals gentlemen. In the 1960s the Bowler lessened in popularity. Now it is rarely seen. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were known for their hilarious slapstick style of comedy. They were also known for always wearing the bowler hats as part of their style. Other very well known people who wore this style of hat include Charlie Chaplin, the Wright brothers and the toy "Mr. Potato Head". Robert Redford also wore a bowler hat when he played the part of "The Sundance Kid" in the "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" movie. A beanie is a cap, often seen with a propeller on top. A cowl is a hood that generally covers part of the face and a visor is a type of sunshade for the eyes and is worn on the head.

Answer: Friends

Underwear isn't actually seen in this episode but is the backdrop to a hilarious exchange between characters. In the "Friends" episode, "The One Where No One's Ready", the action takes place as the friends are getting ready for a night out. They have about twenty minutes to get ready for an important function and no-one is ready to go. Chandler and Joey have had an argument that results in Chandler hiding Joey's underwear. To get back at him, Joey puts on all of Chandler's clothes but is not wearing underwear. He explains to Chandler that he is 'going commando' and is getting pretty hot and sweaty wearing all of Chandler's clothes.
