Before the introduction of indoor plumbing, there was the humble wash tub, a simple, portable basin which, as the name suggested, was primarily used for bathing and cleaning. As they were meant to be portable, they were made of thin pieces of tin or similar metal, and therefore were not particularly heavy—unless you filled them with water, in which case they carried quite a bit of weight; not exactly something you'd want to be in the way of. And yet in Japanese media, such washbasins—regardless of whether they are filled with water—find themselves windborne and lofted in the direction of some poor unsuspecting schmuck. "Tarai Ochi" (lit. Washtub Punchline) is a visual gag in Japanese comedy. This trope first appeared in 8 Ji Dayo, Zeiin Shuugou, a comedy by The Drifters. As a Running Gag, large objects would randomly drop onto one of the performers, with containers of water being common. The gag made its way into Japanese animated media where washtubs, pots, and buckets would fall onto someone's head, appearing out of nowhere from above the camera, merely for Rule of Funny. Compare Flower-Pot Drop and Anvil on Head, the western equivalents. |

hololive - Holo no Graffiti: In "Rain, Rain, Fall Away", when Lui points to Kobo that she put a lighthouse on top of the office nowhere close to the sea, the latter is hit with a sudden washtub. And another one when she claims to be the strongest shama in her town while not being in her town. And when Marine comes in claiming to be an expert, she is hit too when Lui reminds her she's not a real pirate. | |

At the end of Jewelpet Sunshine episode 34, Opal tries to close the stage curtain for the School Play but instead pulls a lever that drops washtubs on a few of the people on the stage, as well as a giant one on the giant Garnet prop, causing it to fall over and destroy the stage background. | |

In Rosario + Vampire, Yukari often does this with magic. One of the funniest moments in the first series involves her doing it to people who were about to break The Masquerade in front of Tsukune’s cousin, resulting in rapid-fire washbins to the head for nearly the entire cast with the exception of Ruby (who gets a light smack from a dustpan) and Gin (who gets the business end of a morningstar flail to the cranium before he can say two words). By the end of it Yukari looks like the only things keeping her on her feet is determination and sheer rage. Her mother takes this to extremes in the anime, having them fall from freakin' space at terminal velocity! |

In one episode of Ah! My Goddess, Keiichi ends up being cursed with exceptionally bad luck, having just about every misfortunate thing happen to him such as getting crapped on by a bird flying overhead, having the ground collapse beneath his foot while walking, and other stuff. When he gets hit in the head by a falling washtub basin, he even loudly questions if that was what it really was. | |

In episode 21 of Oh! Edo Rocket, the cast puts on a theater play of the whole plotline of the series that happened thus far. Sanza is cast as one of Akai's "YOU'RE UNDER ARREST" men, but halfway across his charge across the stage, he becomes enamored with Tenho, who was playing the main character Seikichi. When O-Ise notices he's breaking the script, a giant washtub comes falling down on top of him, leaving him imprinted into the washtub itself underneath. | |

One of what happens when someone slams at the door (the other is smoke balls) is that washtubs drop on the perpetrator (which Naruto was a victim of, and which Tsunade easily deflected). | |

Excel tells Hyatt to push a button, and Excel suddenly finds herself dodging a ton of spears falling from the ceiling. After weaving her way out of the mess, she tells Hyatt to push another one, and then gets bonked on the head by a washtub. | |

The attack makes a return in Final Fantasy XIV with Deltascape 4.0's boss Kefka. One attack is called Hyper Drive which in the normal version of the fight drops washtubs on the target. It is classified as a tankbuster which is an attack that deals very high damage that requires a tank to survive. Even then it requires using a defensive ability to do so. | |

Hanaukyō Maid Team La Verite: Episode 2. During Ryuuka's contest with Mariel a washtub falls on her head. The idea was for the person to step out of the way and catch the washtub as it falls, which Mariel does perfectly. Episode 7 "Unidentified Living Creature". While the protagonists are exploring an underground passageway Ryuuka and Ikuyo Suzuki deliberately set off a number of booby traps, some of which drop washtubs on poor Taro's head. |

Chibi-Robo! This randomly happens to the titular character after recharging and trying to unplug. His sidekick Telly Vision keeps a count of how many times this happens. Since Chibi-Robo is... well... chibi, it is a saucer plate-sized washtub. Also one of the many ways Telly's song is interrupted. He even looks around for the cause incredulously. |

Kamen Rider: An episode of Kamen Rider Gaim used this gag: Jonouchi tries transforming into Guridon, but his Lock Seed had been replaced by Oren, so instead of a fruit dropping onto him to form his armor, a metallic washtub dropped onto his head, knocking him out. In the net movies for the movie of Kamen Rider OOO, Ankh gets a tub dropped on his head out of nowhere (indoors even), which gives him memory loss, and turns him into a kansai-accented demure guy. Chiyoko exploits this for comedic purposes. |

When using the Basin sticker in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, said basin will drop on enemies from above, heavily damaging them. The Basin Thing reappears in Paper Mario: Color Splash where it is used the exact same way. In fact, it is found in Fort Cobalt looming over the path Mario has to take as an obvious trap, and Mario has to have it dropped on himself to gather it. | |

This happens to you if you get a 'dud' when using the Lady Luck dressphere's reels ability in Final Fantasy X-2. Like the God Hand example, duds do damage. In fact, it knocks off three-quarters of your remaining health, which makes using reels a pain; however, this can be curbed by another ability you can get later. | |

In one episode Pani Poni Dash!, there's a random PSA sign out on the streets that says "Watch for falling basins", while depicting a washtub falling from the sky. | |

In the net movies for the movie of Kamen Rider OOO, Ankh gets a tub dropped on his head out of nowhere (indoors even), which gives him memory loss, and turns him into a kansai-accented demure guy. Chiyoko exploits this for comedic purposes. | |

In Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!, jarring the broken television in the Ruins (actually a garbage dump) will cause a hamster-sized washtub, albeit one referred to as a "sink" by the game, to fall off of it and bonk Hamtaro on the head. Do it a second time will cause an even bigger one to fall and knock Hamtaro over. Do it a third time and Hamtaro will immediately run away expecting another... Only to hear a scream of a nearby hamster as a very large tub drops on them instead. | |

It's a regular trap in the Deception series - doesn't do a lot of damage (generally), but enrages the victim, forcing him to charge towards you, even if he would otherwise act cautiously and run away/keep his distance. Useful for luring such cautious foes into the REALLY nasty traps... | |

In an extra episode of CLANNAD, Tomoya and Sunohara hang a party ball over the school's entrance with a string attached that said something really interesting would happen. Nagisa is the only one who pulls it and suffers from a washtub falling in slow motion until it hits her. It did come with some inspirational words for her to read in the infirmary though. | |

The Basin thing returns in Paper Mario: The Origami King during a Test of Courage, where Mario needs to intentionally drop it and stop it just as it's about to hit him. If he stops the rope too soon or too late, then he fails. While a Basin is used for the first two parts of the trial, the final part replaces it with a Thwomp. | |

Super Sentai: In Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, the eponymous ninja have the Goton Shuriken, which gives them the power of the five Chinese elements. The Metal power tends to drop washtubs on enemy heads. In Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, one episode has Lucky and Spada attempting to infiltrate an enemy base, only to get thrown back to the entrance by Trap Doors...which are triggered by their teammate Garu, who's having a really bad day. The third time it happens the guys have caught on and brace against the sides of the slide, keeping them from falling. And then a washtub comes out of nowhere and bonks Spada on the head, making him fall onto Lucky and sending them both back to the start. |

In Project × Zone, at the end of Frank West and Hsien-Ko's multi-attack, Hsien-Ko ends up accidentally dropping one on Frank's head. This is most likely a Call-Back to Namco × Capcom, where during the Combination Attack with Hsien-Ko, Regina, Bruce and Fongling, Hsien-Ko ends up accidentally causing bunch of spike balls to fall onto the other three, plus causing a washtub to fall on Bruce's head. |

God Hand has a God Reel/Roulette with customizable outcomes, but two constant choices; one of those two choices in the Japanese version sends a washtub falling on top of Gene's head and damaging him. This is ridiculous since it actually deals some damage, not to mention the God Reel/Roulette is NOT random, so you would have to actively scroll to this outcome and CHOOSE it for it to happen. It has some use; dropping the washtub gives you a brief invincibility frame. |

Hiro and Sae are aware of it, but are apparently sworn to secrecy, only being permitted to warn her about a purple "snake"; Yuno's father sees it, but is distracted by Yuno bringing something else up.
