A character gets in a car, or similar vehicle designed/intended for medium-to-long-distance trips, but the trip doesn't even leave the street. Usually a comedy trope, as it's really hard to have a legitimate dramatic reason for it unless a character is Too Important to Walk. Not to be confused with driving because a poorly planned road makes it more dangerous to go on foot. May be justified if the character is using the vehicle because they have something to transport besides themselves, such as furniture or a whole lot of groceries. The phone version of this is the Short-Distance Phone Call. Examples |

In the 2004 film version of The Phantom of the Opera musical, the Phantom places Christine on the back of a horse and uses it to carry her the length of a short corridor before abandoning it again. This a reference to the original novel, though in that the ride through the cavernous basement levels actually took some time. | |

The Simpsons In "Home Sweet Home-Diddly-Dum-Doodley", Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are taken away from Marge and Homer to live in a foster home. We see them driven away from the Simpson residence and taken... next door to live with the Flanders family. In "Bye Bye, Nerdie", Marge drives Bart and Lisa to school after missing the bus. She goes after the bus, but Otto thinks she wants a race. It ends when Marge stops the bus just a few feet away from the school but still wants her kids to be on the bus. Subverted when Otto forgot to pick up the new kid and drives back to pick her up. "Homer the Great" showed Homer's commute to work; several miles over a heavily-trafficked highway, a gridlocked detour, a huge, full parking lot with the only remaining space being at the very far end next to the chain-link perimeter fence...abutting his own backyard. Annoyed Grunt! |

Looney Tunes: In 1937's "Sioux Me," an Indian sees a wagon train approaching. He mounts his horse and travels a single gallop to a coin phone so he can call the tribe Chief. In 1957's "Show Biz Bugs", Daffy took a taxi to the theater, even though it was only a block away. He considers the one quarter fare highway robbery. |

Rocko's Modern Life: In "Sand in Your Navel", Rocko decides to go to the beach on a hot day. On his way there, Rocko tries to find a good place to park his car, but all of the parking lots are full. He eventually finds a parking lot called Big Ed's parking, which is right across the street from his house. He settles on it and walks to the beach. In "Commuted Sentence", Rocko was about to park in a spot in front of the comic book store he worked at, only for it to be taken by none other than his boss, who happened to live next door to the store, forcing Rocko to park further away in a bad neighborhood where his car is stripped. Then his boss has the gall to deride him for being late. Fortunately, karma bites his boss in the butt later on when his regular parking space becomes a tow away zone. |

Split Heirs: After getting mistaken for Arbol losing his virginity when Arbol's father Gudge walks in on him having sex (thanks to a case of Split at Birth both Wulfrith and Gudge are unaware of), Wulfrith ends up following Gudge on a celebratory tour of the capital's taverns. Wulfrith's internal narration describes Gudge going through a cycle of drinking at a given tavern until he feels like urinating, leaving the tavern to urinate against its wall and hopping on his horse to ride it to the next tavern. It's pointed out that taverns are sometimes right next to each other. | |

An episode of The Get Along Gang had Bingo Beaver find out that he was going to be moving house. He spent the whole episode making the rest of the gang feel sorry for him, so they decide to throw him a big leaving party. Then they all turn up on the big moving day to wave him off, as his family gets in the moving lorry and drive.... about 3 houses down the road. The gang all has a go at him for the theatrics, but to be fair he didn't know (and using a moving lorry to shift furniture three houses down the street is logically a bit of a waste). | |

In Toy Story 2, Al lives in an apartment right across the street from his toy store and still drives there. And he gripes all the way about having to drive to work on a Saturday! In the audio commentary, the creators mention that originally they placed his apartment halfway across town, which naturally would have complicated the plot. On the other hand, there were concerns that having him live directly opposite was "too convenient", until they realized they could make a joke out of it. | |

A couple of times on Get Smart. Once in The Pilot when Max drives from the concert hall to CONTROL HQ — he gets in his car, does a big U-Turn, and stops in front of the building across the street (getting Rockstar Parking each time); this example made it to the opening credits. In a later episode, where they get in a cab and tell the driver to go to X address: the driver pulls forward about 10 feet and says, "Here we are." |

After the cult leader calls Jerri's teachers Mr. Noblet and Mr. Jellineck and Principal Blackman and tells them to meet them at a rendezvous point, Noblet, Jellineck, and Blackman are seen exiting the school, getting into the school van and driving to the rendezvous point... at the other end of the school parking lot. They then take Jerri, beat her senselessly, throw her in the van and drive her back to the door at the other end of the parking lot. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In the episode "Pizza Delivery", SpongeBob drives Squidward back to the Krusty Krab after making a delivery right next door. This after having gotten lost for hours trying to make the delivery in the first place. In "Blackjack" after SpongeBob manages to convince Uncle Captain Blue to take him to the house of his evil cousin Blackjack after his parents have gone missing, Blue obliges and gives him a ride to Blackjack's house — which happened to be right next door to Blue's. |

In The Diamond Arm the protagonist supposedly visiting a bakery on a taxi (in USSR, no less) is vaguely suspected by his nosy house-manager — after all, he got a broken arm, not a leg. But that's just a very clumsy cover-up for meeting with a police operative. | |

In Penguins of Madagascar, after mistaking Shanghai for Dublin, the penguins mail themselves to Shanghai, where they think Dave will strike next. The mail truck picks them up and drives off... then drives back and drops the penguins back where they started. | |

In Bobby's World an episode is dedicated to the drama of Bobby's family moving to a new house. When the time for the move actually happens, Bobby promptly states Are We There Yet? to his father, who immediately replies "Yes". Kind of raises the question why no one told this to Bobby until they were already packed up in the car, but eh, just roll with it. | |

A segment on The Chaser's War On Everything featured Chas Licciardello attempting to get ridiculously small taxi fares. He quickly learned that taxi drivers who've been in queues for some time do not like being told to stop less than a block away. Especially when they're at the airport. | |

Jackie Brown. Ordell after a lot of argument gets his criminal associate Beaumont to hide in the trunk of his car, so he can be surprise backup for an arms deal. He assures Beaumont that the trip will only take ten minutes. We then see the car drive up the road, do a U-turn and park in the adjourning vacant lot where it's dark, whereupon Ordell pops the trunk and puts two bullets into Beaumont. | |

An extreme example turns up in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It's not just that the tour party travels down a modest corridor to the Wonkavision room via the Wonkamobile — a curious car-like contraption. It's also that, while supposedly powerful, it moves no faster than walking pace and leaves everyone Covered in Gunge until they pass through the Hsaw Aknow ("Wonka Wash" spelled backwards). Upon disembarking, Mike asks Wonka if they couldn't have just walked and his reply is "If the good Lord had intended us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates." | |

In one Mickey Mouse cartoon, Goofy asks Mickey to take him to the airport early in the morning. After being driven bananas all night by the clock Goofy loaned him, Mickey arrives at his house...and finds out the airport is right next door. Mickey is not amused. | |

In Casino Royale, James Bond invites Solange Dimitrios in her husband's own Aston Martin DB5, in front of the Bahamas hotel, telling her that his place is very close. He takes off, turns at a roundabout and stops 10 seconds later... at the same place. The valet's nonplussed "Good evening, sir, and welcome back" is priceless. | |

Episode #156 of Strong Bad Email features a road trip where the car doesn't even move, thanks to Bubs having sold Strong Bad a car with no keys and whose windows and doors can't be opened from the inside. Strong Bad describes it as "our car trip, since we didn't go on any roads. Or, even more accurately, our car, since we didn't go on any trips either." | |
