A simple Practical Joke where an object is placed over a door, with the intent that it or the contents will fall on the person who fully opens the door. Most frequently this is a pail of water or more noxious liquid, but chalkboard erasers and other messy objects can also be used. Often results in Covered in Gunge or Powder Gag. Occasionally used semi-seriously by filling the bucket with a deadly or dangerous substance. This trope is subverted about as often as it works properly. Frequently, the intended victim will spot the trap, or come in by another way, or the bucket will stay balanced on the door, or an unintended victim will be the one to enter (often the original prankster). This probably goes without saying, but Don't Try This at Home. Water's heavy, and the bucket won't be empty by the time it hits the victim's head. |

An episode of Cheers had it as well. Diane, having gone into a paranoid frenzy about the others getting back at her for using them as a psychological test bed, is sent into Sam's office to lie down... at which point Carla springs the trap. However, Diane's actually touched, seeing this as proof the gang thinks of her as one of them. | |

Although she has at that point become the most intelligent being in History, able to see through all of her enemies' schemes that aimed to have her drink the cure, she didn't see it coming because according to Pinkie Pie, she still lacks a sense of comedy. | |

Yandere Simulator: One can be set up with the school's washbasins, filled with either water, gasoline, or blood. All options will lead to the victim running off to shower and change clothes, which can be exploited in quite a few ways, such as isolating an intended murder victim, temporarily throwing a potential witness off their routine, stealing phones or jewelry from the shower's locker room, or in the case of gasoline, setting them up to burn with a candle. | |

In Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Parker pulls this on his principal with a box full of popcorn in one episode, only to later save her from a similar trap using Jell-O. At the end of the episode, he finds Big Guy Kubiak munching away on the Jell-O, despite already having eaten several pizzas Parker had bribed him with for a previous favor. When asked about it, Kubiak simply says: "There's always room for Jell-O!" | |

Supernatural: Played seriously in an episode where Kevin Tran uses this trope as a demon Booby Trap by filling them with holy water. Then Played for Laughs when Kevin's mom uses a holy water trap on Kevin, just in case it was actually a demon coming through the door. Kevin is irritated that this keeps happening. Used horrifically in an episode of season nine, when a bucket trap dumps holy oil on an angel, which the trap then follows up by lighting him on fire. Only the results are actually seen onscreen, which are gruesome enough. |

In "Secret Identities", a high-school bully talks another girl into rigging a bucket filled with toilet waste over a toilet's door and dumping the contents on the head of new student Claire Connors. The incident convinces "Claire" that creating a secret identity was a mistake, so she drops her disguise on the spot and takes off. | |

Discworld Carpe Jugulum features a holy water Bucket Booby Trap as well, this time used against vampires. In Making Money, Lord Vetinari subverts this trope, being wise enough to expect this from the Fools' Guild. A similar thing happens when the City Watch visit the Guild in Men at Arms. In Sourcery, a bucket of long dried-up whitewash is part of the not-exactly-a-Death Course created by a king with an odd sense of humour. |

Bernard gets around the problem of the bucket concussing the victim in the original Bernard's Watch. He uses his magical watch to freeze time, climbs a ladder with his bucket of water, turns the bucket upside down and lifts it off the water, leaving the water suspended in mid air, frozen in time above the head of a bully. One click of his watch to restore the flow of time, and not only is the bully drenched from above, but he is completely confused about where the water came from. | |

The Naughtiest Girl. The first book has Elizabeth play a non-bucket version of this prank. At one point, she places a wet sponge on the door to the music room, knowing Harry will shortly be entering the room to fetch some sheet music. The trap works, but she makes the mistake of hanging around to see the outcome. And Harry, needless to say, is not pleased. | |

Originally, the ending of the Red Dwarf episode "Dimension Jump" involved Rimmer trying to do this to Ace with a pile of kippers. The gag was to backfire, with the last shot being a freezeframe of the kippers falling over Rimmer... but then someone realized the gag made no sense, since the kippers would fall through Virtual Ghost Rimmer. The scene was cut, one of the few times Red Dwarf worked to avoid Fridge Logic. | |

Regularly attempted in the Greyfriars stories, usually with the bucket containing a noxious mixture of ink, soot and gum. Rarely was the trap sprung by the intended victim: usually the form master Mr. Quelch ended up drenched, and always seemed to know who was responsible. | |

Wanting to get the attention of the their leader "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, alliance members Shawn Stasiak and Stacy Keibler set one of these up for Kurt Angle. Knowing that he goes to catering to have a glass of milk before each match they put a bucket of sour rancid milk over the door before his match. Unfortunately for them, Angle was not the next person to come into the room, it was Austin's buxom wife Debra who received the gungy surprise shower. Stone Cold was not amused but the audience loved it. | |

Just after she finishes putting up the trap (with some help from Tanaka the butler), Himeno, for whom the trap was intended, comes out of the room through the wrong side of the door, leading to Mayune becoming the victim of her own joke. Himeno doesn't even notice this. | |

Megan from Drake & Josh provides the page quote. In one episode, she and her mean celebrity friend decide to prank Drake and Josh with the bucket over the door. However, it backfires, and knocks the celebrity unconscious. The episode ends with Hilarious Outtakes with about five variations on Josh and Megan's exchange. | |

Garfield and Friends: Subverted in the U.S. Acres episode, "Goody Go Round"; Roy rigs his coop door with a bucket so that when Orson walks through the door, "the bucket will fall, and WHAMMO! Drenched porker." He also intends to follow up with super-hot tabasco-flavored gum, which will come back to bite him later, but for now, Orson opens the door, and the bucket doesn't fall, despite its precarious motion. Roy offers the gum; Orson accepts but doesn't chew it. After a discussion involving adding a link to the goody-go-round, Orson closes the door. The rule of comedic timing in full effect, the bucket falls while Roy ponders the failure of his two tricks, not soaking him until he's trying to remember what the second one was. | |

Fraggle Rock: In "Scared Silly", Doc has forgotten the key to the workshop. He asks Sprocket to go in through the doggy door and open the main door from inside so he won't have to ask Shimmelfinney for the extra key. When Sprocket gets inside, he sees a bucket above the door. He gives Doc the key and makes frantic noises warning him not to enter. When Doc doesn't understand, Sprocket goes back in the workshop, then throws himself against the door, trying to hold it shut. After a moment's struggle, Doc manages to push the door open, causing the bucket to dump confetti on him. | |

In an episode of Star Trek, Kirk remembered Finnegan, the Oirish Class Clown from his academy days. (Fight me, Jimmy!) It seems one of Finnegan's favorite pranks was the bucket over the door trick. One might wonder how that was supposed to work with the sliding doors seen everywhere on Star Trek — until the TNG episode "The First Duty" shows that Wesley's academy quarters (and, presumably, those of every other cadet) do indeed have regular hinged doors. | |

In an episode of The Amazing World of Gumball (appropriately titled "The Prank"), Richard ends up trying this as part of a Escalating War with his sons. Unfortunately, Gumball and Darwin notice the bucket and manage to trick Richard into going out the door (and getting the bucket stuck on his head). Later, Gumball and Darwin see another bucket over a door, and, feeling guilty over how hard they've pranked their dad, are willing to "fall" for it... only for the bucket to be filled with hardened cement. Richard has no idea how that happened, given he filled it with wet cement. | |

The SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Just One Bite": Squidward discovers that the Krusty Krab's security system involves a bucket full of gasoline over the front door and a lit match. And then he learns that Mr. Krabs has a second bucket for the kitchen door. For obvious reasons, this is sometimes cut out; for example the United States has not seen this full scene in reruns since late 2001. The most the U.S. airing had shown is the first explosion but even later edits change the scene to Squidward looking through the front doors before the camera pans towards the Vault through the order window. | |

Superman: As seen in the above picture, the Practical Joker once did this to Superman by rigging the bucket over a wall, correctly predicting that Superman would burst through it, à la Kool-Aid Man. Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man had Steve Lombard trying to pull this gag on Clark Kent. However, Clark (a.k.a. You-Know-Who) uses his Super-Breath to prevent the bucket from falling. When Steve checks out the gag, he gets drenched. Superman's foe the Prankster once rigged up a lethal variant involving a water tank holding several hundred gallons of water suspended above an aircraft hangar door. If his kidnap victim, Perry White, managed to escape, opening the door would release the tank. In "Secret Identities", a high-school bully talks another girl into rigging a bucket filled with toilet waste over a toilet's door and dumping the contents on the head of new student Claire Connors. The incident convinces "Claire" that creating a secret identity was a mistake, so she drops her disguise on the spot and takes off. |

Weiss is pranked with this by her teammates in RWBY Chibi. She takes revenge on Ruby by doing the same prank. Problem is, she freezes the water first, much to Blake's and Yang's horror. | |

In the prank-filled episode "The Marry Prankster" of Happy Endings, Penny gets this twice. First he dumps slime on Penny in her apartment, and then when she comes to confront him about what she thinks is another prank (a fake proposal set-up that turns out to be real), she goes to use his phone, and she gets slimed again-which was meant for Dave. | |

The eraser variant happens in Negima! Magister Negi Magi. When Negi comments on how uncreative it is, he takes another step forward and immediately hits another (much more creative) trap that did include a bucket. It's an instance of playing with a trope, since he lets it happen to preserve The Masquerade. | |

Done in Urusei Yatsura to the new Mr. Hanawa: he steps on a floor-waxing pad, slides across the classroom and up a tilted platform, backflips and kicks a bucket out of a student's hands, sticks his landing, only to have the bucket fall on his head. The students are so impressed with the routine, they clap and compliment him. | |

In Good Luck Girl!, Momiji sets up an eraser above a door. Ichiko spots it and dodges, but to her horror, it turns out to actually be a brick disguised as an eraser, as Momiji was trying to kill her. | |

Done fairly horrifically in Monkey Dust. Noodles, a Bugs Bunny-esque cartoon rabbit, takes revenge on the scientists who perform experiments on him by propping an anvil on a door. Needless to say, the scientist doesn't spring back into shape two seconds later. | |
