A comedy trope where someone drives a car straight into a building. It's usually designed to poke fun at the driver, either because they Drive Like Crazy, are too old or too young to drive, are driving The Alleged Car, have a wonky navigation system, or maybe just aren't paying attention. It doesn't always have to be a house, but it usually is, largely to get a comedic reaction out of the unfortunate inhabitants of said house. It's almost always Played for Laughs, and more interestingly, with no lasting consequences; nobody gets hurt, nobody gets emotionally traumatized, the car usually stops right after crashing through the wall and thus minimizes the damage, and the house is usually right back to normal in the next episode. Compare this to Real Life, where driving a car into a building can cause serious and lasting damage to the driver, the car, the building's occupants, and the building itself. As always, Tropes Are Tools, and it can be Played for Drama with more realistic consequences, but unless it's done on purpose (and sometimes even then), it's usually difficult for the audience to take this trope seriously. The trope was most pervasive in sitcoms in The '80s and '90s, but it's still common since then (if only because sitcoms have such a tendency to recycle each other's plotlines and tropes). That's another reason why it's so common to drive into a house — many sitcoms will mostly take place in such houses. See also There Was a Door. If they hit people with the car, see Car Fu. We need to start the Very Special Episode on drinking and driving, a common cause of Real Life cases where people drive their cars right into houses. It is also done by criminals who ram through the building they want to rob. To thwart this, some businesses with high-value merchandise set up strong concrete bollards in front. |

Terminator: In The Terminator, the Terminator starts his epic rampage through the police station by crashing a car through the front desk. It seems to be a Running Gag that Once an Episode, whoever says "I'll be back" will come back by driving a vehicle into the relevant building. Crashing through the structure is optional. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, after telling Sarah and John Connor, "Stay here, I'll be back", he proceeds to walk past a SWAT team, procure a van, and drive right to where he had left the Connors, before telling them to get in. |

The Season 7 finale of House has House driving his car into his ex-girlfriend/boss's house, all because of a bad breakup. Very definitely Played for Drama, and leads to Cuddy's permanent departure from the show and House going to prison. The fallout from this stunt has a massive negative impact on House for the rest of the series. | |

Happens a few times in The Simpsons: In "Rosebud", Homer refuses to return Mr. Burns' long-lost teddy bear and comments that they don't need Burns' money anymore, because they're already financially sound. Cue Abe driving the car into their house. In "Baby You Can't Drive My Car", Homer accidentally crashes his car into Burns' office. In "Mr. Spritz Goes To Washington", a plane crashes into the Simpsons' house. In "To Surveil With Love", as Lisa preaches that no one should give in to stereotypes like "old people can't drive", Abe crashes into the school. A flashback in "The Old Man and the Key" shows that Abe lost his license when he drove into a whale's tank at a marine theme park. In one of the show's Crossover Punchline Couch Gags, Rick and Morty's spaceship crashes into the Simpsons household, killing the family in the process. In "Realty Bites", Snake fights Homer to retake his car after it got auctioned off, and they lose track of where they are before they crash into the "Murder House", with Chief Wiggum, who was pursuing them, also crashing into it, destroying the house in the process. |

On Full House: In "Honey, I Broke the House", a grade-school-age Stephanie drives Joey's car into the kitchen after deducing that the "R" on the gearshift must mean "Radio": "The Apartment" has a cement truck backing up, again into the kitchen, spilling the wet cement all over. In Fuller House a now adult Stephanie drives Joey's (lookalike replacement) car into the kitchen. Her youngest nephew then caps off this riotous callback by delivering Michelle's line. Joey states he already has a third identical car waiting at home for him in Vegas, which he will not be bringing to San Francisco any time soon. |

On the The Good Guys, Dan drives a car through a wall in two episodes. Both times it was not going very fast, and the first time he placed a weight on the gas pedal so he would not be behind the wheel. He also only did it because Jack was about to get killed inside and he needed a big distraction fast. | |

Sesame Street: One old Muppet skit has Cookie Monster as a contestant on the game show "Beat the Time", where if he can think of three things that rhyme with "rain", he wins a cookie. It culminates in a train plowing right into the studio. In one "Kermit at Home" sketch, Oscar the Grouch installs a "Bus Stop" sign in Kermit the Frog's living room, which results in the Grouch Bus plowing its way to the newly minted bus stop. |

In the Discworld/The Big Bang Theory crossover The Many Worlds Interpretation, there is a scene where Sheldon, Penny, and supercomputer HEX (temporarily fritzed thanks to Sheldon) crash the Travelling Engine through the wall of a house in Lynwood, Long Island, in an almost exact replica of the trope's appearance on Everybody Loves Raymond (seen below). It turns out that HEX and Sheldon have interfered with the timeline, and when HEX fixes the timeline, only then do they find out that Frank and Marie would have crashed their own car through the wall anyway, a few minutes later. Hence the wall is a victim of the fate of Narrative Causality. | |

In the opening scene of The Dark Knight, the Joker orders his driver to crash the getaway bus through the front entrance of the bank (in reverse, no less), with the specific intent of killing off the last of the other robbers. It works, and the bus is somehow still in good enough condition after this to drive away from the scene of the crime. | |

Seen in Everybody Loves Raymond, as an aging Frank and Marie crash their car into Ray and Debra's living room, with the rest of the episode discussing how old is too old to still be driving. Fridge Horror sets in when you realize that the car flattened their couch — where they had been sitting just seconds earlier. | |

In One Week, Buster Keaton and his wife build a house from a kit, then learn it's on the wrong lot, so they tow it with their car. It gets stuck over a railroad track as a train is approaching — they duck for cover and watch as the train goes over a switch and runs past the house. Just as they're sighing with relief, another train coming the other way plows through it. | |

In The World According to Garp, as Garp and his wife are being shown a prospective house by a realtor, they notice a Cessna-style plane heading towards them, barely clearing the other houses in the neighborhood, before it slams into the house they're in. After they check that the pilot was all right, Garp immediately wants to buy the place. His wife starts to object, but he says that the odds of a second plane hitting the house are astronomical and that they'd be safe there. | |

One Thank God You're Here scenario had the stand-up parachuted in as a yobbish driver who had just crashed through the wall of a house. This was the first episode where the contestant had to enter through somewhere other than the side doors; the catchphrase for that episode became "Thank God you're alive!" The flat he'd crashed into was supposed to be on the third floor — sadly, the British version omitted this line from the broadcast, but the Australian version kept it intact. | |

They had little choice, though, what with the tornado dragging the house out onto the road right in front of them. One of the tornadoes also picks up a station wagon and slams it into the side of a service garage where the protagonists are taking cover. |

Johnny English parodies the scene from The Spy Who Loved Me with a car chase featuring a Lotus. In this case, they barrel through a department store, leading to some visual gags as many fragile things are knocked over and bystanders jump out of the way.

Top Gear, being about idiots driving cars, has seen this happen on occasion: Jeremy Clarkson once did this without even driving — he lost control of a car he was pushing and sent it into a small shed. No lasting harm was done, though Richard Hammond may have sprained something laughing. In another episode, they deliberately drove a Toyota Hilux through a shed as part of a series of tests to see how much abuse the truck could take before it stopped working. The collision didn't do any significant amount of damage. |
