To err is human. Most people are aware of this, and recognize that we are all prone to the occasional act of clumsiness and carelessness. Hence, when someone accidentally spills a drink, or steps on a foot, or knocks something over, most people are willing to forgive and forget if an apology is given. However, this also means that people can, on occasion, do something generally mean-spirited to someone else in public, and potentially get away with it if it appears to have been a mistake. Of course, sometimes the person doing this wants everyone, particularly their victim, to know it was done very deliberately, and will communicate this by issuing an insincere or flat-out sarcastic apology. Whether or not the character engaging in this behavior chooses to cover it with a sincere apology may depend on whether or not the character believes their audience will sympathize with the action. For example, if Alice is a particularly vicious and foul character who is not well liked, Charlene might choose to issue a sarcastic apology after dropping a plate of tartar sauce on her cleavage; her audience will smile because they all know that Alice had it coming, and they are pleased with Charlene's courage, knowing full well it wasn't really an accident. On the other hand, if Bob is a major Jerkass who is not especially well-liked, he may attempt a sincere apology after "accidentally" tripping the much kinder and sympathetic Charlie; he knows that those watching don't like him, and the apology works as a pre-emptive defense. Of course, if Bob is very powerful, he might decide not to put any effort into making the apology sound sincere since he really doesn't care what everybody thinks since there's nothing anybody can do about it. This type of deliberate accident is often motivated by spite or revenge, although not always. Sometimes it's a necessity to divert someone's attention, gain someone's attention, plant a Tracking Device, steal something, or just get someone worked up. The key to this trope is that an action is being presented as a mistake on the part of the person doing it. Since there's no point in holding up such a pretense if alone, this is something that will be done in public, even if all that's available is an audience of one. Usually, this action is more of an irritant than anything that's likely to cause serious injury or death, but not always. Common variants of this trope include, but are not limited to: The Drink Spill: A character spills a drink or some kind of food onto another character or him/herself. The Foot Crunch: A character steps on another character's foot or spears it with a cane. The Fragile Object Knock-Over: A character bumps or pushes something brittle and sends it crashing to the floor. The Trip: A character sticks out a foot and trips someone. The Finger-Slip: A character "accidentally" pushes a button or some other device that activates a device that should not be activated. See also: The "Be Quiet!" Nudge, in which a character punches or kicks someone and pretends it was an accident, in order to get the other character to stop talking. Compare Interrogation by Vandalism and Intentional Mess Making. This trope bears no relation to the Sitcom Accidentally On Purpose. |

A Little Lily Princess: In Ermengarde's route, Miss Minchin walks into Sara's room right as Sara, Becky and Ermengarde are about to enjoy food brought over by the latter. Miss Minchin orders Ermengarde to put all the food back in its hamper and she manages to accidentally fall on the floor while doing so. After Miss Minchin and Ermengarde leave the room, Sara notices a food item was left under the table and realizes that Ermengarde's fall had been to put the item there; the reason Ermengarde had brought the food in the first place was realizing that Sara was starving. | |

The Simpsons: In "There's No Disgrace Like Home", the family is supposed to solve their problems with electroshock therapy. At the beginning of the exercise, Bart accidentally-on-purpose shocks Lisa, claiming his finger slipped. Lisa shocks him back saying, "So did mine." Bart also uses the "My finger slipped" excuse in a "Treehouse of Horror" episode, where Lisa's science experiment turns into a miniature civilization. |

When Roboto makes a Heroic Sacrifice, Dodgers seems to have learned his lesson, until IQ High says We Can Rebuild Him, and Dodgers blatantly throws Roboto's brain on the ground and jumps on it, while saying "Oops!

Done intentionally in Tequila Sunrise. After Maguire implies he wants Nick to manufacture evidence against Mac so he can put Mac in jail (even though Mac has apparently retired from dealing drugs), Nick responds by going into Maguire's office, taking a tray that's full of cups of coffee, and dumping it on Maguire's lap. | |

A non-comedic example of this is in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 wherein the Child Soldier Nena bombs a wedding party, killing almost everyone there. When questioned about it, she giggles and says she accidentally pressed the wrong button. The reason she bombed the party was that they were having more fun than her. In Kozo Omori's manga adaption, however... it WAS an accident, and the setup and aftermath from Nena's perspective was actually treated comedically, although everything else remained serious. |

Dilbert: One strip had Dilbert at a cocktail party and two women holding an impromptu "spill stuff on him" party. The final panel shows Dilbert back at home wearing the rags of his shirt after they'd hit him with lighter fluid. In the book Dogbert's Clues for the Clueless, Dogbert examines the conundrum of being seated in public next to a man who spreads his legs too much. Dogbert recommends "accidentally" spilling a drink in the offender's lap. "Oops! Something bumped my leg." |

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody has one episode where the winner of Employee of the Month will get an all-expenses-paid trip to a Tipton hotel of their choice, anywhere in the world. This causes no end of trouble born from competing employees, including one instance where Maddie's cart collapses, spilling candy everywhere. Patrick, the waiter for the hotel restaurant, denies doing anything to sabotage an employee, and then (looking down to see where his feet (in the middle of the spilled candy) are positioned) begins stomping on the candy while screaming "Never! Never! Never!" Maddie, being one of the only sane people in the hotel, isn't fooled. | |

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: In the chapter "The Golden Court", a witch "accidentally" singes a part of the wall in her room to create an excuse to paint that section of the wall green so that she could use the Godoor spell, which only works on green walls, to create a portal in said wall. She had to keep this a secret because, in the game's setting, witches are sentenced to death by fire just for being witches. | |

In Millennium (1983), Louise tries this for two reasons, by spilling coffee onto a tape recorder: she wants to divert attention from the tape being played and is hoping to do enough damage that information she wants to be hidden can't be retrieved. It doesn't work, for either. | |

The Owl House: In "Any Sport in a Storm", Professor Hermonculus makes Willow fall of her wand during the flying derby match, saying that "his arm slipped". She could have been hurt if she hadn't conjured a giant flower to break her fall. Everyone else present (including his own team) shoots him a dirty look afterwards. | |

Late in A Brother's Price, Jerin has been disarmed and his lockpicks confiscated. He "accidentally" blunders into the woman who took his derringer and palms it with sleight of hand while she enjoys it, then repeats the "mistake" with the woman who took his lockpicks. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In a story by Carl Barks, in which Scrooge and Donald Duck go to Saudi Arabia, a bad guy bumps into a sheikh (who, not surprisingly, looks like a duck), slipping a listening-bug onto his robe. (The bad guy apologizes, and the sheikh says, "You're a clumsy oaf!") | |

M*A*S*H: In The Stinger of an episode where Hawkeye, BJ, and Charles were on a promotion committee, they evaluated prospective promotees and gave their recommendations. Private Igor, who works in the mess tent chow line and was not promoted, tosses a scoopful of mashed potatoes on BJ. "Oh, I'm sorry. But what do you expect from a dumb private?" A flashback in one episode showed Father Mulcahy "accidentally" tucking a tablecloth into his belt and upstaging the meal of a visiting general who was causing a holdup in the mess tent. |

In A Christmas Story, when Mother dusts the living room with no-one else around, she winds up breaking The Old Man's "major award" (an electric lamp shaped like a sexy woman's leg in a fishnet stocking). The audience doesn't see the act, but it's strongly implied it was no accident — considering the sneaky look she gives as she begins dusting, and the fact that she'd hated that lamp from the beginning. | |

The "accidental" spill variant was used by Vicky the babysitter in The Fairly OddParents!. She doesn't just spill a drink, though. It is a significant amount of water, enough to drench the other girl. The reason for it was one of the little men in her brain, "Jealousy", was doing his job by being a petty asshole. | |

Done intentionally in No Way Out (1987) - when Commander Farrell learns the two witnesses who could possibly identify him as being with Susan Atwell the weekend before she was killed are coming into the computer room, he "accidentally" knocks over a cup of coffee so he can sit in the coffee so he has an excuse to leave the office (to change). | |

Doctor Who: "Love & Monsters": Jackie Tyler uses the drink-spill variant rather overtly to try and get Elton to stay over for the night. "The Family of Blood": The Doctor uses it against the titular Family, pretending to still be human while covertly setting their ship to self-destruct. The Family falls for it because they see all humans as idiots. |

In The Musical Merrily We Roll Along, Beth is the victim of a drink spilled down the front of her dress by Gussie "in her haste, or perhaps deliberately to get rid of her" (to quote the stage direction). Gussie thereupon makes a big scene about insisting that Frank's wife go upstairs and get herself a change of clothing so, of course, she can be alone with Frank. | |

In Dragon Ball, Shen weaponizes this sort of behavior, seemingly accidentally dodging everybody's attacks while inflicting damage through perceived incredible clumsiness, attributing his outcomes to amazing luck. He makes it to the last rounds of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai and defeats Yamcha but is then taken out in the semifinals by Piccolo, after breaking his façade by using a Dangerous Forbidden Technique—he entered the competition specifically to stop Piccolo because he knew Piccolo was a threat. Shen is actually God possessing an ordinary businessman as a disguise and is strong enough to not have to take any of his opponents seriously until Piccolo. | |

Early in the training session in Slam Dunk, Sakuragi threw a ball to Rukawa to prevent him to show him how to properly do an alley-oop, since Sakuragi is annoyed at him. Twice. And with the same excuse too: His hand slipped. After that, Rukawa threw a ball to Sakuragi's head and used the same excuse in a more deadpan tone. Sakuragi one-ups this by tossing a whole group of basketballs from a steel basket right onto Rukawa, saying his whole body slipped. | |

In MegaTokyo, Kimiko performs the drink spill variant on four people at the same time. Although her motive is more justifiable than most, there is a small measure of revenge in her actions. A more malicious example happens later, after Kimiko unwittingly gives herself a serious popularity boost in the otaku community after defending fanboys on a radio interview. She goes to work to find the place mobbed with fans, and Piro disguises himself as a busboy to help her out. As the night goes on, he realizes that the fanboys are using carefully-hidden cameras to catch upskirt pictures of Kimiko. He proceeds to "accidentally" kick the cameras out of the way while waiting on the tables, leading to the fans realizing that he too is a "fanboy" (since otherwise, he wouldn't realize what they were up to) and believe that he's "selfish" in keeping them from them all having access to Kimiko, as they believe they're entitled. To get back at him, one of the fanboys trips Piro so that he lands under Kimiko's skirt and then self-righteously accuses him of trying to be a pervert towards her. Since Kimiko finds one of the hidden cameras immediately after, she's not fooled. |

Family Guy: After seeing Jillian's boyfriend accidentally trip a waiter and immediately spring into action to prevent him and his drinks from spilling over, Brian tries to do the same in order to impress his former girlfriend, by deliberately tripping the next waiter to walk by. The waiter falls, his drinks crash, and he questions why Brian would do something like that. Adding insult to injury, the waiter had just recovered from recent hand surgery and was told he should not have come into work that day, but Jillian's boyfriend massages his hand and makes it better. Also this exchange: Or where the Tin Man finds out he's gay. |
