A group of people are walking in a straight line. Suddenly, the person at (or near) the front of the line stops walking for whatever reason. This causes everyone behind the person to bump into one another. This gag is mostly seen in Western Animation. Compare Cliff Stack, Motorcycle Dominoes. |

Seen in the Walt Disney Presents episode "Mars and Beyond", during the "typical science-fiction story" sketch, while the secretary is being pursued by the Martian leader and his minions. After she changes into her superhero costume, she holds up her hand to stop the leader and his minions slam into him. | |

Ready Jet Go!: In "Mindy Turns Five", the gang is about to go to the moon but Jet is distracted by Mitchell and stops in his tracks, causing the others to bump into him. In "Try and Try Again", the kids are walking home and Jet suddenly gets an idea, which makes him stop and causes the others to fall like dominoes. |

Happens in the Donald Duck cartoon "Good Scouts". Donald is leading his nephews on a hike. He orders a stop, but the last nephew is distracted and knocks the others over like dominoes. Also in another Donald Duck cartoon "Tea for Two Hundred" when the ants make an order to stop. |

Mentioned in Jingo. Vimes, at the head of a procession, spaces out and begins slowing down and finally comes to a halt, and the entire procession does the same, with jostling and bumping for those slow to keep up with events. | |

The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs example is referenced in Psychoville, where the dwarfs are told when they go on stage and see Snow White for the first time, they stop and tumble over. It's supposed to prompt the audience to laugh. | |

One episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide had an episode partially centered around this, with Cookie broadcasting traffic updates through student's cell phones to avoid things like overturned AV Carts; meanwhile, Moze is trying to spend time with her boyfriend at his locker, but is diverted by a broken pipe, and a lot of the alternate routes she takes are suggested by Cookie, leading to her constantly getting trampled. And Ned was put in by Mr. Sweeney as the new Hall Monitor, and no one's listening to him. It all collides — quite literally, as Cookie's update makes a large crowd head up to the second floor, right into the "hall party" Ned was failing to contain; resulting in a huge pile-up of "overturned" students on the floor. | |

Princess Princess: The three princesses have been on the stage and are leaving it for a scene change. Mikoto is at front but suddenly stops which cause Tohru and Yuujirou to bump into him and another. The reason to stop: outside the stage waits Mikotos sister and girlfriend, the last two persons he want to see him in girl's clothes and who he actually have asked to go home to prevent it. Mikoto then blacks out. | |

Mulan: In the Training Montage, when the soldiers are jumping along some poles jutting upwards in a line, Chien Po falters and stops moving forward. Shang, coming behind him, defies the trope by stopping in a controlled manner before running into him, but that just makes the jam form behind him when everyone else fails to do the same. | |

The Jungle Book: Happens twice, both times to Colonel Hathi and his elephant brigade. While Hathi is scolding his son for wandering off, he forgets to say "Halt!" and causes the other elephants to pile up on him from behind. This is actually Recycled Animation of a similar gag from Disney's Goliath II. The second time is when Bagheera tries to get their attention so he ask them to help search for Mowgli. |

The Jungle Book 2 continues with this gag, this time with Hathi and his herd fleeing from a group of humans and attempting to hide in a cave. In this case, the traffic jam is caused when Hathi gets stuck trying to enter the cave, only for the rest of his herd to come crashing into him and forcing each other inside. | |

Inverted on Danny Phantom. The girls in the pageant are all walking with books on their heads. Sam is at the back of the line reading hers, so she doesn't realize the line is moving at a different speed than she's walking; she bumps into the last girl in front of her and starts a chain reaction. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Occurs in the second episode, with Pinkie Pie in the lead and stopping abruptly when they encounter a roiling river, causing the others to bump into each other. A variation shows up in "Dragonshy", where Fluttershy slips while climbing down a rocky slope, sending her hurtling down into the other ponies in front of her, which sends them all down. |
