This is a Stock Joke, where a character pranks another character who is using a garden hose by turning off the water to the hose then turning the water back on when the other character looks into the hose. How this character reacts to the outcome of this prank will vary; he will get angry at the person who pulled the prank on him, or he will just turn the other cheek and spray the other character back as well. There are also cases where a person will inflict this on himself by having his foot over the hose and look in the hose and when he removes his foot, the result is still the same. | |

Meet the Robinsons has a variant: Lewis is lost in thought about his latest invention, and his roommate, Goob, tries to snap him out of it with an air horn, only to accidentally blow it in his own face. (It gets Lewis' notice, at least.) | |

A variant from an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force — where the Mooninites attempt to knock Frylock out with fumes via a garden hose connected to the giant glass cube Master Shake is current suffocating in thinking he's getting high, so they can burgle the Aqua Teens' house. Frylock easily defeats this by bending the end of the hose, causing the fumes to backfire on the Mooninites. | |

In the Classic Disney Short "Beezy Bear", beekeeper Donald Duck catches Humphrey Bear siphoning honey from his hives with a garden hose, so he connects the hose to a spigot, squeezes it until the water bulges up inside, and sends the bulge racing to Humphrey. Just then the ranger arrives and gives Donald back the hose, resulting in a game of Hot Potato that leaves all three soaked. | |

Work It Out Wombats!: In "Secret Tunnels," the wombats find out that there's an underground network of tunnels beneath the Treeborhood. They find a control room that controls all of the machines and tools in the Treeborhood. When they press one of the buttons, it results in Mr. E's hose spraying water in his face. | |

Done in El Chavo del ocho when La Chilindrina accidentally turns on the hose when El Chavo is pointing it at himself, but then keeps "accidentally" opening the hose when el Chavo is explaining how he got wet to Don Ramon, splashing him and then several characters in succesion as Chavo can't keep himself from pointing the hose at them. | |

At the end of the Bluey episode "Magic Xylophone", when Bandit is about to spray Bluey with the hose, Bingo secretly grabs it to prevent the water from coming out, and then when Bandit looks down the nozzle, Bluey uses the xylophone to pretend to freeze him so he sprays himself in the face. | |

Possibly the first visual gag ever recorded on film. An early Lumière brothers short, L'Arroseur Arrosé (The Waterer Gets Watered) has a gardener inspecting his hose unaware that a boy is standing on it to cut off the water. After the inevitable drenching the gardener catches the boy and spanks him. | |

Miss Machiko uses this bit in the very first episode. A student plants a water hose in the ground in order to spray Miss Machiko's skirt up when she walks by (yeah, it's that kinda anime). She ends up stepping on the hose. When the student tries to investigate it, he gets sprayed. Eventually, the teacher steps off the hose and the student gets what he wants anyway. | |

This also happened to Chris in the Job episode of Superbook. He was watering the flowers with the garden hose while his father was supervising, sitting on a rocking chair. Note that the hose was directly under the rocking chair so when he rocks on top of the hose, it cuts off the water flow, prompting Chris to look in the hose. Unfortunately, just as soon as he looks into the hose, Prof. Peepers (Chris' father) then rocks the chair forward, causing the water to squirt Chris in the face. Of course, Prof. Peepers then promptly chides Chris for nearly drowning the flowers with his careless handling of the hose that he inadvertently blocked himself. | |

Subverted in The Care Bears: Adventure in Wonderland during the opening credits, where Bright Heart Raccoon is watering the flowers when the water stops. It turned out that Lotsa Heart Elephant had her foot on the hose which made the water stop, then she lifts her foot up again, causing the water to flow again. Bright Heart briefly looks in the hose before looking over to see Lotsa Heart walking away casually, just as the water then squirts out of the hose while Bright Heart was holding it away from himself. | |

An episode of the Little Lulu anime had Tubby trying to squirt Lulu with the hose as revenge for getting him into trouble. When he finds that the water in the hose won't squirt, because he had his foot on it, he looks into the hose and while he's looking, Lulu tricks him by telling him that a spider is crawling towards his foot. Upon hearing this, Tubby panics, lifting up his foot with the funniest facial expression on his face ever before getting squirted by the hose. (You'll have to see his expression in this video, at 1:39.) | |
