You're just walking along minding your own business, or just standing around doing nothing. Everything is calm and peaceful, with no sign of danger or anything. Looks like today will be a nice, quiet- -horn honks- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, how'd you get up in that tree? This Comedy Trope, which uses similar principles to Pain-Powered Leap, is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a character develops astonishing jumping powers when startled, able to leap ten or twenty feet from a standing start. If it happens outdoors, the person or creature may be discovered clinging to a roof awning or other tall object; if indoors, he or she may be found doing an involuntary Ceiling Cling, or having left an Impact Silhouette in their wake in more cartoonish fare. Compare Cat Scare, Wild Take, Catapult Nightmare. Not to be confused with a Jump Scare (which can trigger this). |

A stock gag in Ranma ½ results in Ranma clinging to the ceiling if he is scared enough. | |

Looney Tunes: There was a series of animated shorts in which a puppy would run behind a cat and bark loudly, causing the cat to jump up in shock and hold on to the ceiling. When there wasn't a ceiling, the cat would end up on a tree, a telephone pole, or even the wing of a passing airplane. Also happened a lot to Wile E. Coyote when the Roadrunner sneaks up from behind and goes "Meep-meep!" And to Sylvester when he's going after Speedy Gonzalez. |

Mr. Bogus: Mole does this, after he and Ratty get scared by Bogus popping a balloon with a needle in the second act of the episode "Bad Luck Bogus". Bogus ends up doing this, after getting scared by a scary-looking hand (actually Brattus playing a prank on him) in the second act of the episode "Kung Fu Campout". |

Peanuts: One strip had Charlie Brown and Sally walking to school. While waiting for the bus, Charlie Brown tells Lucy that Sally is so scared about her first day of kindergarten that if someone even mentions kindergarten while she's around, she'd jump 30 feet in the air. Putting this theory to the test, Lucy says "Kindergarten" to Sally, who then promptly jumps up into the air in fear. Lucy then muses, "Only 10 feet. I knew you were exaggerating." Her brother Linus actually got Snoopy to clear thirty feet during an arc where Snoopy's house was supposed to have to be bulldozed for some reason. |

Happens twice in Kingdom Hearts in regards to worlds that involve form change. In Kingdom Hearts II, Timon and Pumbaa share a Freak Out when they see Sora for the first time, and mistake him as a predator. In Kingdom Hearts III, moments after entering Monstropolis, Sora, Donald, and Goofy all jump in terror over their new forms.
