Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })People (usually those afflicted by Small Town Boredom) will sneak out at night and try to tip a cow over, because as you all know cows sleep upright and are too dumb or weak to do anything about people pushing them over. When they finally fall they will just lie on the ground helpless until someone gets them back on their feet. Right? Actually no. In Real Life this is downright impossible, because: Cows don't sleep standing up (though horses do, sometimes). Cows are very heavy and you need a lot of strength and force to be able to get the animal into motion. It will likely reorient its footing while you are wasting energy pushing against it. Unless injured or sick, cows are perfectly able to lie down and regain their footing whenever they want. You will probably make the cow angry, and it will try to defend itself, possibly killing anyone who attempts this. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A subtrope of Artistic License – Biology and a popular Urban Legend (you see, there's a reason why it is called an urban legend and not a rural one). See also Constantly Lactating Cow for another trope about cattle being portrayed inaccurately. Examples: |

Problem is, they run unto Ax first, and though he does his best to look like a cow by hiding his tail and twisting his stalk eyes like horns.

Minecraft has an achievement in console versions and older PC versions called "Cow Tipping", which involves picking up leather, preferably from a dead cow (but getting one from fishing or a loot chest also works). The death animation of mobs, including cows, is them simply tipping over sideways, making it look like deadly cow tipping. | |

Parodied in Cars. Mater invites Lightning to go "tractor tipping" (tractors being the car world's analog of cows). He honks his horn, startling the tractor into driving forward and rearing back, which ends with it aiming straight up until it's fully awake enough to right itself. Lightning, who doesn't have a horn, gives it a try... by revving his engine, which is loud enough to startle the entire pasture. | |
