Nothing like a nice relaxing day at home. Sitting around, with a book, no distractions, no annoyances, just a nice, quiet-BZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZ! Or not. There's a bug buzzing around your head, making it impossible to relax. Could be just a fly making trouble, but even worse, it could be a wasp, just waiting to sting you when your back is turned. The worst part is, it just won't go away. No matter how hard it gets swatted, it just won't leave. So, of course, zanier and zanier schemes are required to get rid of it. After all, a baseball bat's big enough, so it should be the perfect thing to whack a fly with, right? Of course, what generally causes the most trouble isn't the bug itself, but rather the character's increasingly extreme attempts to get rid of it, unless the bug itself is a trickster. Generally, the character will only hurt themselves with their angry attempts to rid themselves of the pest, or, at worst, end up destroying their perfect afternoon, while the fly gets away scot-free. This has happened to everyone.note Well, everyone who is willing to murder flies. |

Happens in Heavy Metal Mater, where the real reason why Mater started a heavy metal band is because while in the recording studio, the Drummer Pitty was forced to play the drums faster in order to shoo away a VW Beetle, therefore prompting Mater and his two guitarists Rocky and Eddie to play faster. | |

Beavis and Butt-Head have their "Die, Fly, Die!" episode. In their efforts to kill the fly, they hit each other with shovels, chainsaw the furniture, break a window, and use enough bug spray to knock themselves out. Oh, and when Butt-head says that flies are attracted to "garbage and crap", Beavis takes him literally and poops on the floor, causing a whole swarm of flies comes in through the broken window. | |

In The Test a fly gets into the cockpit, making Pirx's first flight quite memorable. Not. Or, actually, yes, memorable, but it was a simulation, actually, to test his reactions in new, unusual, crazy, dangerous situations, like flies creating short-circuits in the spaceship wiring. He passes. A colleague Pirx was sure would pass loses it completely. | |

Happened in one Mr. Bean episode where the titular character is on a picnic, and gets repeatedly harassed by a bee, borderline driving himself insane to get rid of the insect.

In the Defenders of the Earth episode "Deal with the Devil", Jedda exploits this trope by using her powers to "plant the illusion of a buzzing fly" in the mind of Ming's giant serpent Mongor. This causes Mongor to start thrashing around and his flailing tail smashes through the bars on the cell at Ice Station Earth where Jedda is imprisoned along with LJ and Kshin, as well as Team Pets Kisa and Zuffy, enabling them to escape. | |

The Pink Panther: Pinky has a lot of trouble with both a hungry fly (who eats up all his food) and a flea (who itches him like crazy, then eats up all his food). In the first case, he sends the fly away by mail, only for it to return with a Stamp Gag. There was also a fly that he tries to kill with karate, wrecking some of his own furniture... before it turns out the fly also knows martial arts, flips him a time or three, and then twists his arm and throws him out of the house. |

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger has a variant, where one Monster of the Week is a Sizeshifter who manages to get into the Humongous Mecha. When he gets into the cockpit, the more Hot-Blooded Gokaiger pull out their guns and start shooting at him, damaging the equipment. Shortly thereafter he manages to get inside Gokai Yellow's costume, and Gokai Pink's use of bug spray to get him out causes him to punch a giant hole in the fuselage during his escape. | |

The cast of Critical Role had a recurring fly problem in campaign two. Travis Willingham took to arming himself with two electrified flyswatters, even though he was able to clap a fly to death once. In one incident, a fly that Travis couldn't get divebombed Marisha Ray's coffee and drowned in it seemingly out of nowhere — but fans noticed Taliesin Jaffe waving his hand downward a split-second before the divebombing. Given the Running Gag that Taliesin is an eldritch being of some sort, using "magical powers" to get rid of a fly is extreme indeed. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has an episode where a fly get into the tower, with Numbuh One and Four trying to get rid of it (Numbuh Four in the textbook overly violent self-destructive way), Numbuh Two wanting to make a machine based off it, and Numbuh Three trying to have a tea party with it. Things get increasingly weird as they each try to get to it, until it lands on Numbuh Five, who catches it effortlessly and then gently releases it out the window. Too bad the fly was a spy-machine all along. | |

Invoked in The Karate Kid (1984) by Mr. Miyagi who explains to Daniel-san the tradition of trying to catch a fly with chopsticks for good luck (if successful). Something—he notes—he himself hasn't even managed. | |

One gag on Family Guy had the family getting annoyed at a fly repeatedly failing to fly out of an open window. In a cutaway gag in "Road to Rhode Island", Peter repeatedly shoots at and misses a fly as Lois tries to read. |

Breaking Bad has a rather famously ludicrous Bottle Episode based entirely around catching a fly that got into their meth lab. | |

The Justice Friends episode "Bee Where?" is based around this. The three desperately try to get a bee out of their apartment. In the end they leave the bee alone in the apartment and move their things outside, saying they showed the bee who's boss. | |
