Two extras are shown carefully carrying a large pane of glass across a street. Cut to a chase. Cut back to the sheet of glass. Inevitably, a car is driven right through the glass, shattering it everywhere. The alternative is that a character walks into it, unaware that it's there, and either smashes straight through it, or bounces off and falls flat on their ass. A standard gag is to have the extras see the first approaching car and scramble to get out of its way, only to have them relax and not notice the pursuer until he smashes through. Alternately, anyone who gets shot is sure to have one of these placed handily behind them so they can be nonsensically blown through it, Intuitor's Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics refers to this as "The Attractive Force of Glass". Nowadays the car chase version is a Dead Horse Trope. Often accompanied by a Fruit Cart or Chase-Scene Obstacle Course. If it's a person going through a window, it's Destination Defenestration. Tearing Through the Movie Screen is a similar effect for chase scenes happening in a movie theater. See also Subverted Trope, where this trope is used as an example to illustrate the variations of it and Playing With: Sheet of Glass. Sub-Trope of Product Delivery Ordeal. Examples |

Have Gun – Will Travel: This classic 50s western series had an episode in which Paladin was hired by a shopkeeper to transport a large window pane across a county to his store, while a rival businessman hired someone else to destroy the glass and put his rival out of business. A memorable scene involved Paladin and a friend miming carrying the glass pane between them to throw off the rival, but in reality they were carrying nothing. | |

The Simpsons: Parodied more than once. One time the two men successfully dodge the speeding cars and then they chuck the glass pane into a recycling bin. Another time the glass hits the floor and remains intact, leaving one of the men to say, "Geez, tough glass!". Reverend Lovejoy's train set isn't so lucky: being carried just like a Sheet of Glass, it gets shredded as Homer's car drives through it, prompting Lovejoy to look at the heavens and say "Why do you hate my trains?!" In "Sweets and Sour Marge", after sugar becomes illegalized and Homer attempts to smuggle it from an island, he gets chased by Chief Wiggum's police boat. During the chase, Homer comes across two workers on boats holding a sheet of glass, ducking to avoid breaking it. Chief Wiggum swerves to avoid crashing into the glass and a mother on a jet ski pushing a baby carriage, eventually getting his police boat beached. In "Treehouse of Horror XX", a sheet of glass is being carried by zombies during a chase through zombie-infested Springfield. After the glass breaks, the zombies moan "We need windows too..." |

At one point during the lengthy plane chase in SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, one of the obstacles Spongebob has to shoot are two fish carrying a sheet of glass.

Tested by the MythBusters. While it's obviously possible to drive through such a sheet of glass, both regular and tempered glass would produce high-speed flying shards that would cause injury to the people actually carrying it. Laminated glass would be safer, but it wouldn't look anything like the spectacular shattering depicted in films, leaving this trope shattered...er, Busted. | |

Though the workers manage to avoid having having the sheet of glass shattered by both Ruff and Dennis, they're not so lucky when the police officer comes across them. | |

She snatches up the gun from the floor and delivers a shot right in the center of the forehead - one of those Pretty Little Headshots that is accentuated by the target being Blown Across the Room into the glass door of a shower stall. | |

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends features two men carrying a mirror. It doubles as a Shout-Out, as the two men carrying it looked exactly like Mario and Luigi. It starts out as a subversion when Eduardo and his friends chasing him for his $100 bill run past them, then it's played straight with the Thief, who crashes through the mirror. | |

Played with in Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure. As Zac and Evie attempt to move Rita (stuck in her mermaid form, and using her magic to turn herself invisible) somewhere out-of-the-way, a random student walks toward the "empty" space between them, sees them, stops for a moment, and without a word, completely nonchalantly walks around them, as though expecting the sheet of glass. | |

A chance card in the medical career track in The Sims poses the question to a paramedic Sim: Avoid a traffic jam by driving your ambulance on the sidewalk, or lug your gear on foot for several blocks to the scene you've been called to? Although there is no mention of pedestrians on the sidewalk in the question card, if you choose to drive on the sidewalk and get a bad result... the ambulance has to dodge, among other things, two men carrying a sheet of glass! The incident ends in the Sim getting stopped by the police and losing their job. | |

A gag that comes up twice in Rock Dog from characters being launched by touching an electric fence. The workers are able to move the glass out of the way the first time, but not when the character then slingshots back.

There's a subversion in Regular Show as well: during a vehicle chase there is constant cuts between Rigby looking forward and screaming and two men carrying a glass sheet... then the vehicles pass by the street next to the guys carrying the glass... who promptly drop the glass and take out their phones to take pictures of the chase happening next to them.

Played with in The Amazing World of Gumball. Gumball and Darwin are chasing a senior citizen on a mobility scooter, and the two "crash" into a sheet of glass carried by construction workers. However, because the scooter is so slow Gumball and Darwin just lightly press their faces against it. Gumball asks why the workers are carrying the glass around in a park, and they respond by asking him why they're chasing an octogenarian on a scooter. | |

What's Up, Doc?: The Sheet Of Glass appears in Peter Bogdanovich's affectionate homage to the Screwball Comedy. Subverted in that none of the cars smash it, because the men carrying safely get it to the sidewalk. However, one car does hit the ladder on which another workman is stringing a banner; that guy swings from the broken banner and through the glass. | |

Feet of Clay, the narrator of this Discworld novel speculates that the people who block every chase in the multiverse with sheets of glass, heavily laden carts and long racks of clothes may be agents of a secret society. | |

Subverted in Taxi 3, where a bank robber on rollerblades hits a pane of glass being carried across the street in a heated chase scene. Except it's Plexiglas, and the man bounces off without scratching it. | |

Subverted in an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, in which SpongeBob is chasing a frisbee and destroying everything on the beach, and when he nears two guys carrying a sheet of glass the frisbee turns around and continues in the other direction. | |

Similarly to the above: the Belgian travel company Eurostar ran an ad campaign to promote new rail service from Belgium to London in 2007, which featured two workmen carrying a sheet of glass about to collide with a John Cleese lookalike doing the famous Silly Walk from Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch. The tagline: "Watch out! London is just around the corner!" | |

Averted then played straight immediately after in The Protector, another Tony Jaa film. Tony's character is being chased (on foot) through an Abandoned Warehouse by a mook on a four-wheeler. He runs down a hallway that ends in a big window, and instead of crashing through it, runs vertically up it. The four wheeler then crashes through underneath him. | |

Back to the Future (1989): The videogame adaptation for the NES involved timed races from one checkpoint to another while dodging obstacles, with the Sheet of Glass as one of the more sensible enemies (why are ballerinas trying to kill us again?). Oddly, the pane itself is invisible until you crash into it. | |

The Book of Boba Fett. A variation in "The Streets of Mos Espa" where during a chase scene someone crashes through a painting being carried through the streets. This also counts as a Mythology Gag as the painting is actually concept art by Ralph McQuarrie for Return of the Jedi. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In "This Years Girl" Buffy and Faith are demolishing Joyce's house during their fight. Faith throws open a French door into Buffy's path so she runs right through it. | |

The Guardians of the Galaxy (2015) episode "Lyin' Eyes" features two aliens carrying a sheet of glass during a chase scene. Rocket Raccoon is small enough to slide under it - Drax, unfortunately, isn't. | |

Amphibia: In "Thai Feud", this routine is done with a large flat-screen TV being passed between two guys in neighboring apartments, and it gets destroyed by the out-of-control food truck Anne and Sprig are driving. | |

In Gravity Falls's second episode, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos are being chased by the Gobblewonker and crash through this. In the middle of a lake, creating an example not unlike the Simpsons image above. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Since windows in Star Trek tend to be made of transparent aluminum (and lead into space), characters generally have to make do with being thrown through various pieces of glass furniture. A good example is "Conspiracy," where Riker takes a surprisingly long time to get thrown through a glass coffee table. (However, glass furniture seems a bit more prone to being intentionally smashed in fits of rage. As Deanna once enquired of Worf, "Did the table do something wrong?") | |
