Maybe the Cowboy Cop has been forced to turn in his badge, or the Big Bad's plans have just been thwarted, or the hero's Berserk Button just got pressed. How better to show rage or impatience than to take one arm and swipe everything off the desk (sometimes accompanied by an inarticulate scream)?! Used as shorthand to show that the character is out of control and they need something to take their frustrations out on. Often a part of an Anger Montage, Rage Quit or Villainous Breakdown. Sister trope of Flipping the Table and Tantrum Throwing. Compare/contrast Desk Sweep of Passion and Sweeping the Table. Examples |

However when his sidekick Roy Harper (who is having his own issues at the time) sees this, Oliver realises he needs to set a better example and invites Roy to share a late dinner with Diggle's family, so at least neither of them have to be alone. | |

He uses his colored pencils to draw a picture of Luranna the sylph, who he saw that night. Sergeant Richards says, "Nice angel, but I need you to draw what you saw last night." Frustrated, Eddie scatters the colored pencils all over the floor with a swoop of his arm. | |

Doctor Who The Tenth Doctor does this in The End of Time while ranting about how he doesn't want to be regenerated. In The Haunting of Villa Diodati the Lone Cyberman is shown to have emotions unlike others of its kind, starting with this trope as it swipes a desk to express frustration at not finding what it's looking for. |

Played for dark laughs in an episode of NYPD Blue. The suspect in the murder of his sister wants a refreshment, specifically a Coke. At first some detectives brought him a can of ginger ale (offscreen), and later Simone brings him a Diet Coke because the machine was out of regular. The perp dramatically sweeps the can off the table insisting that he get a regular Coke. "Does this look like a Coke to you?!" Simone sarcastically asks him that if they give him a Coke, will he confess? The perp surprises them by responding "Can I have a liter?" Long story short, they give him two 2-liter bottles of Coca-Cola and he confesses not only to the murder of his sister, but also the never suspected murder of his brother 30 years prior. | |
