Something slick like oil, or slippery like a jar of marbles, is poured out on to a floor, and a targeted character or vehicle slips, skids and falls/crashes, typically backwards. Seen often in broad physical comedy, as well as vehicular action sequences. In chase scenes, it is guaranteed that when small spherical objects are scattered, the enemy in chase will step on them and immediately fall down, giving the hero ample time to escape. A standard cause of The Pratfall. In more cartoonish variations it's accompanied by a common Stock Sound Effect. Banana Peel is a subtrope of this. When done from a car against another car, it's usually an Oil Slick. Compare Frictionless Ice. Contrast Sticky Situation. |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW), this is how Eggman gets his comeuppance at the climax of the Metal Virus Saga. After causing so much trouble with his Metal Virus bioweapon, Eggman himself contracts it via slipping and falling on an infected Froggy. | |

Looney Tunes: Done hilariously in a cartoon where Sylvester greases up Elmer Fudd's stairs and thumb-tacks his walkway in an attempt to deter him from interrupting his caterwauling. The hilarious part is that after having going through all that, Elmer then runs through it again to go inside and get his shotgun, and then runs through it a third time. (Funny how he doesn't bother to put on shoes.) Bugs uses grease in his coup de grace in "Bully for Bugs". Wile E. Coyote uses grease either to immobilize the Road Runner or to generate speed for himself — it never works out well. And, of course, the many shorts that have Banana Peels. |

Paranoia does this twice. Adventure Vapors Don't Shoot Back. During Mission 1, while the PCs are fighting in the warehouse boxes will break open and spill ball bearings all over the floor, which will make slipping and falling very likely. Adventure Send in the Clones. During the Sewerworld segment, the PCs enter an old TV studio with boxes of ping pong balls. The boxes break open, spilling the ping pong balls all over the floor and tremendously increasing the PCs' chance of slipping and falling. |

DC Animated Universe: Batman: The Animated Series: Lampshaded by the Joker while making his escape from Arkham in "Joker's Wild": Subverted in the first Superman: The Animated Series crossover with Batman: The Animated Series. The Joker throws a bunch of marbles on the floor to make good on his escape from the pair. Superman thinks he must be kidding, but it's quickly revealed that these are exploding marbles, and the good guys are forced to make a hasty escape. Joker does it again in Justice League, this time to the Flash. First he slips on the beads, and then they blow up, sending him flying. Used in The Movie of Batman Beyond to knock down the Didis. |

Who Framed Roger Rabbit: In the opening cartoon, Roger slips on both a rolling pin and a bar of soap. Judge Doom pours "the dip" on the road, causing Benny the Cab to skid. Although given that Benny screams and crashes and his tires look shredded, the dip is probably actually burning Benny's wheels off. Later, Judge Doom himself slips on some Toon "Eye Balls" and falls, making the Weasels laugh. |

In TFS at the Table, the Natural Wonders manage to kill a hulking Vampire Paladin this way. At the start of the fight the Vampire Paladin charges at our heroes while wielding a ten-foot-long burning cross. In response, Ezra throws down a handful of ball bearings, hoping to make the terrain a little harder for the vampire to navigate. The vampire winds up slipping on the ball bearings, landing flat on his back, accidently tossing his weapon into the air which then crashes on top of him, sending him plummeting through the floor of the ship they're on and sending him to the bottom of the ocean where he gets torn apart by mako sharks. All without getting in a single swing at the Wonders. The icing on the cake to all this was the fact that, right before trying this, Ezra said that throwing down the ball bearings was probably a stupid idea. | |

The Stormlight Archive: Dustbringers and Edgedancers can both manipulate the Surge of Abrasion, which controls all forms of friction. We have seen it used to let a heavily-armored knight run through waist-deep water as easily as dry land, let a girl slide around a palace on her butt as if she was greased, and to run very very fast by ignoring air resistance. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The first-level grease spell exists for this purpose since AD&D1 expansions and on. Psions in 3rd edition have their own version of grease, also called ectoplasmic sheen. Also a dedicated magical item — the Oil of Slipperiness. Ball bearings are sold in sets of 1,000, and the description lists this trope as their intended use. Forgotten Realms of AD&D2 era added grease slick that has greater area and duration, is cast silently, and instead of one surface sprays everything. Which sometimes is worth a spell of the same level as fireball. Some cold or ice spells can be used to this effect too by icing the floor. Notably sleet storm, which covers a larger area than grease and obstruct vision to boot. |

In the sequel, he buys some cheap necklaces from a street vendor and spills their beads onto the sidewalk, which the bandits promptly slip on. Later, Marv steps onto a slippery floor (courtesy of Kevin), struggles to keep his balance, manages to stop himself for just a moment, and then finally loses his balance... propelling him forward into a shelf loaded with paint cans in spite of the laws of physics. Finally, Kevin himself slips on ice, getting himself caught. | |

When cornered, he opens up a huge holder of bubblegum beads, sending them rolling under his pursuers' feet.

The Sandman (1989): Sexton sets up some marbles as a trap for his and Death/Didi's captor in Death: The High Cost of Living, hoping he'll slip and break his neck, but it ends up being sprung on the wrong person. (Nonlethally.) | |

Meat Or Die: In the episode "Naomi", Yans and Gans attempt to make the title character (a giant rabbit) slip on an oil slick so they can eat her while she's down. It works... but the pair get squashed under her because they got caught in the trap when she fell. | |

Home Alone: In the first film, Kevin sprays water on the outside steps that froze into ice, in addition to placing Micro Machines in front of the inside stairway. In the sequel, he buys some cheap necklaces from a street vendor and spills their beads onto the sidewalk, which the bandits promptly slip on. Later, Marv steps onto a slippery floor (courtesy of Kevin), struggles to keep his balance, manages to stop himself for just a moment, and then finally loses his balance... propelling him forward into a shelf loaded with paint cans in spite of the laws of physics. Finally, Kevin himself slips on ice, getting himself caught. |

Argylle: A climactic gunfight in a pumping station results in an oil slick covering the entire floor, ensuring that nobody on either side has good footing. Elly attaches knives to her boots and somehow manages to "ice-skate'' on the crude oil, allowing her to keep fighting while everyone else can barely stand up. | |

Johnny English Strikes Again: On the boat, Johnny and Bough delays a pair of sailors by throwing minutes marbles under their feet. In the castle, Johnny inside a suit of armour which he had overflowed with oil earlier in an attempt to remove it, slips on top of the stairs and then skids on his back all the way to the bottom, and then through the whole conference room, up to the doors that he accidentally closes behind him. |

Buffyverse: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Graduation": When Angel tries to sneak into where Buffy is searching for clues, he slips and stumbles through the door. Buffy lampshades both his smooth moves and Angel's clumsiness as he feebly makes excuses. Happens to Wesley on Angel after the title character attempts — and fails — to use his Super-Strength to crush coffee beans still in the bag. Results in a classic pratfall, something Wesley's actor is apparently quite fond of. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion: Josuke's Stand "Soft And Wet" has the ability to "take" things and properties from anything that it can hit with a bubble. When fighting an enemy on the next floor up, Josuke "takes" the friction from the floor above him, sending the enemy sliding around the apartment. | |
