Any comedy whose set includes an elaborate winding staircase with a long, swooping banister will inevitably require someone to slide down, or up, that banister. Such slides are always rear-end first. Half of the time, the slider will not realize until it's too late that there's a mounted knob, known as a finial, at the very bottom just waiting to hit them in the crotch. The other half of the time, either there is no finial (as is the case in the opening to Wait Till Your Father Gets Home) or it will break off harmlessly when the slider hits it. In either of these cases, the slider then ends up sprawled on the floor. More often than not, they'll be more concerned about embarrassment than injury. Basically, it all depends on the sturdiness of the banister. Examples |

Looney Tunes: In "The Wise-Quacking Duck", Daffy Duck comes down the banister just fine, but then turns a statue holding a spear so that the tip gets his pursuer. In "Napoleon Bunny-parte", Bugs Bunny is being chased by Napoleon (yes that Napoleon) down a banister, while a guard is waiting at the bottom with a bayonet. Bugs gets off early, so it's "Nappy" who gets the point in the end. In "Wholly Smoke", Porky speedily slides down the banister, only to stop suddenly just before he hits the vase at the end. Sylvester is chasing a mouse this way. The mouse puts a pat of butter on the railing, which speeds up Sylvester's trip and sends him all the way out. |

He did this in a 1980s The Beano strip, too, but Mum had sewn sandpaper into his shorts (Dennis hadn't noticed) thus sanding the banister down. This was one of several unwittingly helpful things he did in that issue, with a bemused Dennis getting rewarded instead of being punished at the end. | |

Discussed on QI of course. And, of course, plenty of buzzers went off on the mention of the word 'bannister'. Apparently, the correct term is 'balustrade' for the top part, and 'baluster' for the uprights. | |

James Bond: Octopussy: Bond slides down a banister while firing a Kalashnikov rifle, sees the newel post at the end, and blows it off just in time to avoid a ballistic groin impairment. In Skyfall, he and Silva slide down the separator between escalators in the London subway system during their chase sequence. Needless to say the producers removed the barriers put there to stop people from doing this. In the Bond parody Casino Royale (1967), a small army of soldiers go charging up a staircase at Mata Bond, so she sprays them with a fire extinguisher causing them to slip and fall down. To avoid a Slippery Skid herself, she then slides past them on the banister. |

Black Widow (2021). Natasha and Yelena flee Taskmaster by sliding down the separator between escalators at a Budapest train station. However, this trope is made more perilous than usual by Taskmaster throwing a Vibranium shield after them; they slide off the end just in time, so the shield flies over their heads. | |

When the girl dresses him in a pink bonnet and a pink nightshirt and tries to put him down for a nap, he slides down the banister of a staircase in an attempt to escape from her. He sees a decoration of Cupid with a bow and arrow at the bottom, and screeches to a halt, just narrowly avoiding getting poked in the butt. | |

Animorphs has a variation: Marco, Ax and Tobias slide down several stories of banister as cockroaches. From their perspective, it's like bobsledding with rockets strapped to your back. Once it's over, they spend a few seconds exulting in how awesome it was before declaring they will never be doing it again. | |

Also the case for the other Dennis the Menace, in this case before Dennis reached the bottom of the bannister Gnasher pulled a lever which made the knob at the end of the banister slide down into it allowing Dennis to fly off the end!. He did this in a 1980s The Beano strip, too, but Mum had sewn sandpaper into his shorts (Dennis hadn't noticed) thus sanding the banister down. This was one of several unwittingly helpful things he did in that issue, with a bemused Dennis getting rewarded instead of being punished at the end. |

In Have I Got News for You, Paul Merton claimed that "sliding down the banister" was the appropriate method before toilet paper was invented. When it was pointed out that this would make the bannister unusable for its intended purpose, he retorted that "of course you had your shit bannister and then you had your hand bannister. You don't see them nowadays because they were all melted down during World War II to make Spitfires". | |

His brothers comment that Tim was the only one brave enough to go down facing forward, to which Tim replies that he was able to have kids anyway.

In Father of the Bride (1991) the titular bride's little brother pretends he's going to do this, much to the horror of his parents and the wedding coordinator, as the banister has been decked out for the wedding. Earlier in the film, Annie had done this as her father came home, and a flashback of his establishes that she's been doing this since childhood. | |

He comes to a Screeching Stop just millimeters from the vase, then tells the audience, "I've got me good brakes, haven't I, folks?" In "Dumb-Hounded", the Wolf is sliding down a banister to get away from Droopy. However, Droopy suddenly appears behind him and comments "Fun, isn't it?", causing the Wolf to do a Wild Take and slide up the banister. |
