As this has happened to just about everyone at some point or another this is probably a common trope. Someone walks out of a building, looks around with a perplexed look, and realizes that they don't know where their car is parked. Bonus points if they're in a ridiculously huge lot or garage that takes hours to navigate. May be justified if the car was actually stolen or towed. May also overlap with My Car Hates Me if the tracking feature refuses to work or the car doesn't start when they do find it. Not to be confused with the movie Dude, Where's My Car?, or the other movie this trope's name is derived from. Examples |

Happens from time-to-time on Parking Wars, when impounded cars are misplaced and their owners must scour the impound lot, or if they need their ownership, registration certificate, proof of insurance or even personal items to have their car released from impound. | |

Early on in Megamind, Megamind and Minion forget where they've parked the invisible car. Becomes a Brick Joke much later, when they rediscover where they parked. | |

Guild Wars 2: If you're playing a norn, one option in character creation is that you got blackout-drunk at a recent moot. During a personal story mission, you find out what happened while you were smashed — you and a charr drinking buddy (who was just as drunk as you) went joyriding in his warband's tank, and now have to find it. | |

In the pilot episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, the landing party gets in a scuffle with Suliban and consequently end up coming out of the building they were in in an unfamiliar area. They are confused as to where their shuttlecraft is. | |

The Simpsons has used this a few times. In "The Homer They Fall" Homer fights Drederic Tatum and once they leave he can't remember where he parked the car (likely due to so much head trauma), so Marge says they'll just wait until everyone else leaves. The episode "Itchy And Scratchy Land" has the family parking their car and saying "OK, we're parked in the Itchy lot," only to zoom out and reveal that the car park only has two, absolutely massive lots: Itchy and Scratchy. (This is of course a parody of Disneyland's character-named lots.) |

On Rocko's Modern Life, "Who Gives A Buck?" features a parking lot so large, some people have been wandering it for years looking for their cars. One of them is a grown man dressed like a little boy and still looking for "mommy's car," and a few scenes later Rocko and Heffer pass a senile old woman going "Son? Have you found the car yet?" | |

In The X-Files spoof, The X Fools, Agent Smolder asks Sore Throat why they always had to meet in a parking garage. Sore Throat replies that he'd forgotten where he'd parked his station wagon back in '89 and was still looking for it. | |

The Seinfeld episode "The Parking Garage". They spend the entire episode searching for the car and when they finally found it at the very last minute of the episode, it wouldn't start. The car-not-starting bit was also a case of Throw It In; the original ending called for them to drive away but be unable to find the exit. | |

Futurama: This turns out to be the cause of the mysterious alien signal in "Game of Tones". On New Year's Eve 1999, Nibbler and Digby were celebrating knocking Fry into the cryogenic tube when they drunkenly dropped the keys to their spaceship down a drain. After taking a taxi back to their home planet, Digby spent the next thousand years roaming the universe using a spare set of keys to try and trigger the spaceship's alarm. | |

A running gag in the "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants is the heroic duo's nearly impossible-to-find "Invisible Boatmobile." Subverted in one episode, where they use the key fob to beep the horn. | |
