Sometimes, you need elevation. You might need to reach something on the top shelf, or you might be trying to look over a wall, or maybe you're trying to escape out a very high window. But what do you do when there aren't any trees, hills, ladders, or stools around?
Simple: You stand on your friends.
A Human Ladder occurs any time someone climbs on someone else for added height. Generally, one stands on the other's shoulders, but other methods show up. Some Human Ladders consist of more than two people, although the more you add, the sillier it gets.
The person at the base is often The Big Guy, but a common enough gag is to have the person at the bottom be the smallest one in the group. Hilarity Ensues when they topple over.
Add a coat to become a Totem Pole Trench. Sometimes implied in a Scooby Stack. For an extreme version of this trope where the human ladder becomes a co-existing organism, see The Worm That Walks. Contrast I Need No Ladders, the other option where there are no nearby ladders. See also Chain of People, and Body Bridge for when the people form a bridge. Other utilitarian uses of people include a Fastball Special (for an ally) or Grievous Harm with a Body (for either an ally with Super-Toughness, or an enemy).

Disgaea had an interesting game mechanic that allowed you to stack your WHOLE TEAM on each others' shoulders, allowing you to throw members across the map. Of course, the guy on bottom takes damage proportional to the weight of the team on top of him every turn, so it's a somewhat advanced tactic. Buffed up a bit from second game onwards with two improvements. First, you no longer take damage when carrying allies, and second, the tower itself can attack enemies within a short range (one hit for each person in the tower,) making the human ladder viable for more uses than simply quick transport across the map.

PAW Patrol:
"Pups Save a Flying Frog": Rubble piles up onto Rocky and Zuma so that he can look into a periscope.
"Pups Save the Circus": Marshall, Rubble and Skye do this while they're pretending to do a series of circus act. Skye calls this move "The Triple-Decker Pups". However, Ryder calls the pups while they're doing this, and Marshall (at the bottom) forgets that he's still carrying the other two!
"Pups Bark with Dinosaurs": Marshall, Rocky, Zuma and Chase all pile up on each other to pretend to be a Tyrannosaurus rex with Marshall on top, though they disassemble quickly when Ryder called them.
In another episode, Marshall, Rubble and Chase are playing basketball, but Marshall feels bad that he can't make a single basket. Chase and Rubble try to cheer him up by helping him reach the basket by boosting him up to it with Chase on the bottom and Rubble in the middle.
In “Pups Save Daring Danny’s Hippo�, the pups form a pyramid as part of the circus act.
In “Pups Save a Cow�, the pups form a pyramid to try to get a kite down from a tree. Rocky was on top since he was already in his uniform so that he can use his claw to reach it.

In The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming, the final climactic scene is where the American small town police force and milita are facing off against the deck guns of a Russian submarine, with the rest of the town watching. Two boys climb up the church tower to get a better look, one of them falls and is caught by a protruding nail and left dangling 30 feet in the air. The Americans and Russians both drop everything and work together in forming a human pyramid to rescue the boy, releasing the tension and allowing cooperation between the groups to help the submarine get away.

Looney Tunes: In "The Bee-Deviled Bruin", the Three Bears do this to get some honey from a beehive after they run out of honeynote or so Pa and Junyer think; they actually had plenty of honey in the cupboard, and Ma tried to tell Pa about it, but he wouldn't let her.. Pa is on the bottom, Ma is in the middle, and Junyer is on top. note This is despite the fact that this incarnation of the Three Bears inverts the trend of its source material by having Pa be the smallest and Junyer being the largest.

Though not actually performed, in Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams this idea is suggested by Donnagan Giggles to his henchmen when they were trying to get the MacGuffin out of a high tree. Considering that the spot they were trying to reach was nearly fifty feet high, it can be assumed that the plot would have quickly failed if actually attempted.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends:
In "Frankie My Dear", Mac and Bloo get into a fight when they both start having a crush on Frankie, who has apparently met the man of her dreams. Their feud ends quickly, however, when they realize that that man is neither Mac nor Bloo and both become jealous every time another man shows up for Frankie, including a pizza delivery guy named Chris and an imaginary Prince Charming. Finally, they all discover that Frankie has a real date named Dylan and join forces to sabotage their date at a fancy restaurant. The plan involves Chris, Mac, and Bloo standing on each other's shoulders and wearing a huge overcoat to make it look like they're one really tall person, with Bloo on top wearing a fake mustache, while Prince Charming reluctantly masquerades as a woman. Mac complains that he, not Bloo, should be on top since, although he's a kid, he is at least human. Hijinks ensue as Mac, who is using his arms as the tall person, is unable to see through the coat and has trouble picking up the silverware to pick up the food.
At the beginning of "Bloo's the Boss", Bloo finds an imaginary friend hanging for his life from a falling tree, so Eduardo, Coco, Frankie, and Wilt form one to rescue the friend. Eduardo is on the bottom, Coco stands on top of him, Frankie stands on top of her, and Wilt stands on top of Frankie. Their plan is compromised by Bloo climbing on top of them, wanting to take credit for the rescue, but fortunately, Madame Foster saves the friend by pole-vaulting up to him.
In "Fools and Regulations", Bloo accidentally sets a magazine on fire while trying to read it quietly. The smoke from the fire activates the smoke detector, and since Frankie told the imaginary friends to be quiet while she hosts a benefit party to raise funds for Foster's, the imaginary friends form one to try to turn off the smoke detector so as not to disturb her. Eduardo is on the bottom, Wilt stands on top of him, Coco stands on top of Wilt, and Bloo stands on top of Coco. Although they don't succeed in turning off the smoke detector, Frankie finds out about the fire and puts it out.

The British Bulldogs would often have Davey Boy Smith do his Running Power Slam on an opponent, the opponent's partner would try to interfere, Davey Boy would pick that man up in a fireman's carry, tag the Dynamite Kid in, who would climb to the top rope, hop on the back of the guy Davey Boy was holding and give the guy lying in the ring a diving headbutt.

Sesame Street:
In Episode 1911, Snuffy leaves his giant trash can near Oscar's regular-sized one, and when Oscar sees the giant trash can, he wants to move into it. When Telly comes to see Oscar, Oscar decides to stand on Telly so he can climb up to the giant trash can. Unfortunately, this plan doesn't work because the top of the giant trash can is just out of Oscar's reach, and Oscar is too heavy for Telly to carry.
In a "Smart Cookies" sketch, Miss Fortune, Figby, Chipowski and Cookie Monster form one to destroy The Crumb's Bearclaw pastry that is trying to steal the guests' costumes at a cookie-themed ball.

Total Drama:
In "Masters of Disasters", Duncan, Leshawna, and Heather climb on top of each other to reach a hatch on the ceiling. They topple over when Heather's attempt to grab hold of the hatch causes Duncan to lose balance. They don't try again.
In "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!", six of the Toxic Rats are catapulted on top of each other by seventh member B in order to reach the rope holding up their totem pole and cut it down. Their order from the bottom up is: Sam, Staci, Scott, Lightning, Dawn, and Dakota.

The Twilight Zone (1959): In "Five Characters in Search of an Exit", the title characters form one in an attempt to escape from the large metal cylinder in which they are trapped. However, the ballet dancer is unable to reach the top as they are still several inches too short. The major then fashions a grappling hook from his sword and strips of clothing. He, the clown, the hobo and the bagpiper form another human ladder and he manages to reach the top. It is then revealed that the five of them are nothing more than dolls in a collection barrel.

In the Season 2 premiere Littlest Pet Shop (2012), the pets all pile up on each other to keep themselves out of view of a webcam so Blythe can't see them with Zoe on the bottom.
The pets have actually started to make this a standard technique of theirs starting in Season 2, usually so that one of them (usually Russell) could get at eye level with Blythe.

In Sonic Heroes, any of the four teams can assume this position at any time when the flight member is chosen as the leader. The flight member is always on top, the speed member is always in the middle, and the power member is always on the bottom. However, the flight member is actually carrying all the weight even though he/she is on top. This position is especially useful for grabbing and pulling out switches too high for the speed or power members to reach alone.

In The Zombie Survival Guide, Max Brooks states that this is the inevitable consequence of a large enough horde of zombies trying to get past an impenetrable wall at once: eventually, they start climbing over each other and forming a human ramp over the wall.
The film adaptation of World War Z depicts this in vivid detail in the Jerusalem scene, where they not only cross over the wall this way, but submerge a bus under a literal wave of zombies.

While in jail, the Mob form a human ladder so Ring-A-Ding can use a nail file to file down the bars on the window. Clyde is on the bottom, Ring-a-Ding is on top, and the other five members are in between them. This plan unfortunately fails because the Mob get caught by the sheriff.

In the series finale episode of The Land Before Time TV series, the episode opens with five of the main protagonists piled up on each other trying to reach for berries in a tree. From top to bottom, it was: Ducky, Chomper, Ruby, Cera and Littlefoot. They had no luck reaching it and decided they needed Spike to give them extra support, so they go get him and reform the totem with Spike at the bottom. They still failed. Though maybe they could have reached if Petrie would have helped instead of just flying around cheering them on!

Star Wars Resistance: In "The Disappeared", while locked inside a cargo container by the First Order, Aunt Z twice uses Hype Fazon as a somewhat unwilling footstool to see out of an air vent. Hype's not too thrilled about this because Aunt Z is much heavier than he is.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the Paper Toads form a massive spiral staircase to help Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario get from the top of Mt. Brrr to Neo Bowser Castle.
The Luiginary Stack Combination Attack in Dream World battles of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team involves Mario guiding multiple compacted groups of the Luiginoids to jump on top of one another, creating something more akin to a Human Tower. The combined weight of this stack jumping on your opponent has the potential to deal a lot of damage if executed correctly.

One Piece makes use of this during the climax of the Alabasta Arc, when, in a pinch due to the ticking time bomb at the top of few hundred foot high clock tower, Vivi is literally catapulted up the side of the tower by her crewmates, starting with Usopp on the ground, Chopper on his shoulders in his deer form, and Vivi on his back. Nami uses her Clima-Tact to create energy to send Chopper and Vivi into the air, where Sanji and Zoro, both at various points on the tower, jump off the side and give the two a boost, until finally Chopper tosses her to the time bomb's location.

The babies would often do this in Rugrats to reach heights that none of them could reach by themselves, usually to get cookies for Angelica from the kitchen. In addition, the order in which they climb on each other is surprisingly consistent— Chuckie's on the bottom, since he's the biggest. Phil is next, since he has a better chance of holding two babies' weights than Lil. Lil is next because Tommy is almost always at the top (being the leader of the group), and Tommy stands on Lil's shoulders/back at the very top.

In another, Zim orders soldiers under his command to hold onto each other and fall across a pit to form a bridge he can use to cross. There is a tree right next to them that they're clearly meant to cut down and use for the bridge.

This is done a few times in the main series:
In "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler" when the Tattletale Strangler, posing as a bodyguard so he can strangle SpongeBob for turning him in for littering, can't reach SpongeBob's window to get into his house, he asks him to climb on his shoulders. Unfortunately, it's at that moment that SpongeBob reveals he was wearing spiky cleats and gets them stuck in the Strangler's eye sockets for six hours!
In "A Flea in Her Dome", when Sandy's treedome becomes infested with fleas after she ended up picking up one during her trip to Texas, she, SpongeBob and Patrick need to find a way to exterminate them. Near the end of the episode, Patrick's idea, as usual, turns out to be useless, as he wanted to form a human ladder into the tree so he could get an apple, with Sandy on the bottom and SpongeBob in the middle.
In "Say Awww!", when another one of Plankton's inventions in order to attack the Krusty Krab, namely Q.T.-Ï€ (Q.T.-Pi), goes haywire, it eats pretty much everyone in the Krusty Krab after they've said "Awww!", and their only means of escaping is through the emergency evacuation uvula. At first, after Mr. Krabs is eaten, there's not enough people to reach the uvula, so they need Q.T.-Pi to eat more people. Q.T.-Pi soon eats everyone in town, leaving SpongeBob the only one left. After SpongeBob is eaten, there's enough people to reach the uvula. Amazingly, it takes Plankton lifting the bottom for them to reach the exit.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In "Hearts and Hooves Day," the Cutie Mark Crusaders do this to reach a cloud that they need for the love potion that they try to make. As only pegasus can manipulate clouds, Scootaloo is on top and as pegasi are generally assumed to be light, this follows the logical structure rather than comic.
In "Games Ponies Play", the main 6 form a pyramid when doing their cheer for the chairman of the Equestrian Games. Their formation is Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie on the bottom (Earth ponies, presumed heaviest and AJ definitely strongest), Twilight Sparkle and Rarity (unicorns) in the middle, and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash (Pegasus, presumed lightest) on top. They attempt to do this while practicing their cheer but instantly fall due to their train coming to a screeching halt. When they perform it for real in front of who they think is the chairman, however, they had to do it without Rarity since she was busy fixing up Princess Cadence in the Salon.
The main 6 form another pyramid in "Magical Mystery Cure" with Twilight Sparkle on top.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders do this again in "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Tolls" to try to break into Sapphire Shores' dance club because they couldn't get past the security at the front door. Scootaloo tried to fly up to the window using Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom for extra support. Unfortunately, her wings still failed her, and they all crashed.
In the Equestria Girls special "Mirror Magic", while most of the Humane 7 are trapped in the alternate dimension inside Juniper's mirror, Twilight Sparkle tries to reach the portal leading back into the real world with Applejack giving her a boost. The process gets interrupted when Sunset Shimmer comes crashing in through the portal.
At the beginning of the episode, “Marks for Effort�, the Cutie Mark Crusaders do this again to try to peek into the School of Friendship.
In the series finale episode, “The Ending of the End�, Applejack gets on Rarity’s shoulders so she could lasso Grogar’s Bell (with Spike and Fluttershy holding the lasso with her) while the rest of the Mane 6 distract the Legion of Doom. Unfortunately, they get caught.

Suske en Wiske: The main characters form a human tower on the back cover of every album. They even provide a shout-out to it in the album De Woeste Wespen, where Jerom has to transport everybody as quick as possible and therefore carries them off in the same pose.

In The Star, when Thaddeus and Rufus start barking at the camels, Cyrus and Felix pile up onto Deborah out of fear. She falls over almost immediately.
Later in the movie, the camels do this again while spying on King Herrod. This time, they were properly stacked with Felix (the smallest one) on top, Deborah in the middle, and Cyrus (The Big Guy) on the bottom.

Kingdom Hearts:
In Kingdom Hearts, there are certain parts of the game where Sora, Donald and Goofy need to stack up on each other's shoulders to reach certain things.
In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep there is a totem pole-like enemy that uses elemental magic.

In The Goon Show, Seagoon, Eccles and Bloodnok attempt to escape from prison by climbing on each other's shoulders to reach a high window. Even with all three of them, they still aren't high enough, so the person at the bottom climbs up onto the top person's shoulders. Three times.

In Friday Night Funkin', the rivals of Week 2 are Skid and Pump, the game's first crossover characters from a Newgrounds property. Skid is sitting on Pump's shoulders so they can easily pass the mic around as they sing, and Skid remains on Pump for each of their poses, with him even clambering onto Pump's head for the up pose.

In the Dexter's Laboratory episode "D2", Dexter and Dee Dee do this throughout the episode taking Dexter's brains and Dee Dee's stature to their advantage.
In another episode "Gooey Aliens That Control Your Mind", said gooey aliens (which Dexter had wished for in order to study them) escape from his lab and infect his mother, father and Dee Dee. When Dexter learns what's going on, he has no choice but to don his Powered Armor and attack his family to remove the aliens. In response, under the aliens' control, his parents and sister sit on each other's shoulders so that the three of them can all attack him together as a group.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
This is done a few times in the main series:
In "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler" when the Tattletale Strangler, posing as a bodyguard so he can strangle SpongeBob for turning him in for littering, can't reach SpongeBob's window to get into his house, he asks him to climb on his shoulders. Unfortunately, it's at that moment that SpongeBob reveals he was wearing spiky cleats and gets them stuck in the Strangler's eye sockets for six hours!
In "A Flea in Her Dome", when Sandy's treedome becomes infested with fleas after she ended up picking up one during her trip to Texas, she, SpongeBob and Patrick need to find a way to exterminate them. Near the end of the episode, Patrick's idea, as usual, turns out to be useless, as he wanted to form a human ladder into the tree so he could get an apple, with Sandy on the bottom and SpongeBob in the middle.
In "Say Awww!", when another one of Plankton's inventions in order to attack the Krusty Krab, namely Q.T.-Ï€ (Q.T.-Pi), goes haywire, it eats pretty much everyone in the Krusty Krab after they've said "Awww!", and their only means of escaping is through the emergency evacuation uvula. At first, after Mr. Krabs is eaten, there's not enough people to reach the uvula, so they need Q.T.-Pi to eat more people. Q.T.-Pi soon eats everyone in town, leaving SpongeBob the only one left. After SpongeBob is eaten, there's enough people to reach the uvula. Amazingly, it takes Plankton lifting the bottom for them to reach the exit.
