This trope is a slapstick comedy equivalent of a binary explosive. It consists of two completely harmless elements which, when combined, Hilarity Ensues. First, there's an animal. It's usually either a baby wild animal or a recently acquired pet, but it can also be an older animal or even a Starfish Alien. If it isn't adorable, it'll often be Ugly Cute. The important thing is that it is both (1) seemingly harmless and (2) highly sympathetic. Next, there's a scene of orderly domestic tranquility. It might be a carefully organized storage shed or convenience store, a restaurant, a dining hall preparing a wedding reception, or a bedroom in a Stepford Suburbia. There are often a number of highly fragile objects present, such as lamps, vases, wedding cakes, neatly stacked displays, etc. What happens next depends on how the two find their way together. |

In Tommy Boy, Tommy and Richard hit a deer with their car, and make a very ill-advised decision to stick it in the back seat. But it's Not Quite Dead—it wakes up, panics, and completely wrecks the car, while the guys can do nothing but watch. | |

Fraggle Rock: "Wembley's Egg" has Wembley taking it on himself to sit on an egg that has fallen into the pond and take care of the "tree creature" (bird) that hatches from it. The tree creature breaks Wembley's ladder trying to climb it, accidentally knocks Red into the pond, and makes a wreck of Boober's kitchen. | |

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Trouble With Tribbles", tribbles are harmless except for the fact that all they do other than sit there, look cute, and make funny noises is eat and breed. Given that they're Explosive Breeders, letting them near food unattended can be a bad idea. | |

In Chi's Sweet Home, there is a chapter in which the main character (a kitten) is exploring her "father's" office. She ends up getting a roll of packing tape stuck to her butt and, after a series of events, the office is a complete wreck. | |
