The standard equipment for any angry mob that goes on a Witch Hunt or sets out to Eat the Rich. The mob may be going after a witch, an evil wizard, a vampire, a Mad Scientist, a perverted person, an Evil Debt Collector, the privileged elite or any other unpopular local figure. If the mob is after the villain, he most probably ends up being Shamed by a Mob. If they're coming after the good guys for one reason or another (like if our heroes are hiding a Reluctant Monster), their best defense is Shaming the Mob or an obstacle that will force them to go one by one, raising the question of, "Who Will Bell the Cat?"
On occasion, however, they feature as the just outbreak of the people against an evil, but legally untouchable, character.
Related to the less focused, but more destructive, Powder Keg Crowd. Malicious Slander may have stirred them up; good luck finding out who, if anyone, is responsible for the rumors (though there may be a Rabble Rouser involved).
Truth in Television, of course; in prior centuries where the vast majority of the people were living in the countryside and couldn't necessarily afford more expensive weapons such as guns and swords, pitchforks (along with scythes and sickles) were inexpensive and quite versatile, and so it became a popular weapon to use in times of rebellion.
Featured and parodied so many times, it's a definite Undead Horse Trope. A common parody is to ask the mob where they got their equipment on such short notice (often revealing it as something ridiculous), or for angry mobs to be judged by the quality of such equipment.
See also Kill It with Fire and Burn the Witch! for its inspiration. A Flame War happens when you take the sentiment behind this and apply it on the Internet. When you've got pitchforks but not torches, see Devil's Pitchfork, Prongs of Poseidon, Gardening-Variety Weapon. If torches and pitchforks are featured in a musical, then an Angry Mob Song is pretty much guaranteed.
Contrast Swords to Plowshares, when peacetime makes people convert their weapons into farming implements or other nonviolent tools.

Dragon Age: One of the usual arguments in favor of the Circle and Templar system is that it exists to protect mages (particularly young ones) from being attacked by mobs. There is plenty of debate on this in-universe and out, the common counterargument being that keeping mages at arm's length from the population just perpetuates this attitude.

The Simpsons uses this trope often. They even have a store selling angry mob supplies during a riot! On another occasion, Quimby yells out Homer is a monster (Long story - involving a lot of plastic surgery) and tells the crowd to get out their pitchforks. Lo and behold, everyone had the foresight to bring theirs along to the ceremony honoring Marge's successful new gym. It seems they always come prepared for some mob mayhem.

In Bloodborne, the Huntsmen haunt the streets of Yharnam, on the prowl for the elusive "Beast" that are attacking the city. Of course, they're actually a mob of Technically Living Zombies too far gone to realize they're the very beasts they're after. And unlike most examples of this trope, rather than an unstoppable force you can only flee (though they do appear to be much larger and stronger than ordinary humans), they're mooks your Empowered Badass Normal slaughters with their mix of Transforming Weapons and firearms. Some of them literally carry torches and pitchforks, though most prefer other weapons like rifles, swords, axes, pistols, fire bombs, etc.

The 1931 film version of Frankenstein features some of the most famous Torches And Pitchforks angry mobs. They are an Unbuilt Trope example since no one has a pitchfork and Dr. Frankenstein himself is one of the leaders.
Thus, this trope crops up in every affectionate homage or parody of the Frankenstein story. See Young Frankenstein, Van Helsing, this Saturday Night Live sketch...
Transylvania 6-5000 has a particularly clever parody. A burn victim is mistaken for Frankenstein, and is about to be burned at the stake!

And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) was no exception to the rule.
It was lampshaded in the debut episode in Hamato Yoshi/Master Splinter's autobiographical story.
In "Turtles On Trial", even though they had neither torches or pitchforks, an angry mob chased the Turtles off after the green quartet had caught a couple of jewel thieves.
And in the episode, "Splinter No More", after Donatello's creation of a batch of retro-mutagen returns Master Splinter back into Hamato Yoshi began to revert him back to his previous rat form, Splinter is pursued by a frightened mob after his failed attempt to escape down a manhole and into a sewer.

Majyk by Accident has a town that stages these regularly to get around an inconvenient law against making deals with witches. Trying to kill the witch isn't illegal, after all, and if the witch turns out to be too powerful and has to be appeased with trade goods, that's not the mob's fault. And if they find useful herbal remedies of completely unknown origin placed near her cottage, well, it must be their lucky day.

Parodied in the Darkwing Duck episode "Monsters R Us". The usual mob of villagers attacks Morgana's family castle, and Darkwing (Actually Darkwolf at this point) scoffs at the idea of "a bunch of yahoos with pitchforks" coming after them. Problem is, this particular mob had tanks, laser rifles and fighter planes at their disposal. Cue Oh, Crap! moment from DW.

Shrek:
In the opening scene of the first movie, the ogre is obviously used to angry mobs coming to drive him out of his hut, as he easily scares one of them off, even prompting them at one point, "This is the part where you run away." He later hangs a lampshade on it when speaking to Donkey.
Lampshaded in the sequel, when Shrek and Fiona step out of their carriage in Far Far Away and are revealed to be ogres. Shrek sees some pitchforks in the crowd and gets nervous, commenting "Let's go before they light the torches."
By Shrek Forever After, it is apparently a regular occurrence for citizens to ask for signatures on their pitchforks.

Wonder Woman:
Comic Cavalcade: Randy Holcome gathers a crowd to tear their way into the Sheriff station in order to lynch Judy MacGregor for killing his father, and the sheriff for trying to keep her out of their hands. The murder he's acting so upset about is one which he committed himself, he's just happy to convince the township that Judy was responsible and then kill her so that she can't defend herself in a way that spreads blame around.
Wonder Woman (1942): Giganta rallies the "peasants" to rise up and attack Queen Darla and King Aros' palace while Wonder Woman, Steve Trevor and the Holliday Girls are visiting. When the rebels tie up the Queen to kill her Giganta has them include Wonder Woman with the intent that they're both assassinated.

Happens a few times in Cadfael, taking place as it does in medieval Shrewsbury:
The Aurifaber wedding party chase the bard Liliwen right into the abbey, where he manages to claim sanctuary just in time to avoid being summarilly hanged for the Aurifaber patriarch's (apparent) death.
The people of the Foregate pursue Father Ailnoth to the abbey gates with an air of Tranquil Fury, not chasing him at a run but keeping up a steady chant of "Ailnoth! Ailnoth!" after his offenses against them culminate in driving a well-liked local girl to suicide for becoming pregnant out of wedlock.
Local merchants in "St. Peter's Fair" take up torches to protest the disruption in their business and the heavy tax levied by the festival.

Sam Starfall of Freefall considers it a badge of pride to be chased by a mob such as this. Sadly, the sci-fi setting makes actual Torches And Pitchforks hard to come by, so he mostly has to make do with an ordinary 'Angry Mob'.
In a funny moment, Sam loses his angry mob and starts looking for it. He winds up chasing the mob, unwittingly convincing it that it's a panicked mob running away from him, then passing it because he thinks they're fleeing something scarier than him.
It's the usual result of Sam and Helix, visiting a restaurant.
Somewhat later, when discussing the formation of a robot justice system, Florence remarks that a robotic police force would be preferable than a mob of angry robots... wielding lightsticks and logic-probes.
Still later, a couple of bakery customers wronged by Sam improvise torches and pitchforks with the use of free-sample toothpicks. One end burns, the other end is pointy. They kind of undercut the 'mob' part of the plan by failing to get anyone else in on it, though.
Even Florence does not like the outcome of THIS situation, and lampshades it!
A more serious form of a mob is invoked when a prisoner is told that his cell is to protect him from the public.
It's soon played for laughs again Sam gets the police chasing him as a way to unwind after all the disasters that have unfolded around him.
Later, Sam tries to break new ground by inciting and being chased by a robotic mob. It's undermined by their efficiency programming, only for another one to start after the participant in the first one discovers a loophole.

In The Fairly Oddparents episode "Mother Nature", every time the local weather reporter makes an incorrect forecast, they get run out of town by an angry mob, who come complete with Torches And Pitchforks. note And, as crazy as it sounds, this was based on a Truth in Television event. An Indian weather reporter so consistently got the weather wrong that enraged viewers harassed him on the streets, waved weapons at him, and threatened his mother with a chainsaw.
In the episode "MicroPhony", Vicky disguises as Timmy's identity "Double T" and insults all adults by calling them morons in order to ruin his radio station reputation and make him sound terrible in front of everyone in Dimmsdale. This causes an angry mob of adults to take down Double T.
In the episode "The Secret Origins of Denzel Crocker", townspeople out to celebrate young Crocker's birthday get their memories of all the great things he had done for them erased. When they wonder why they're there, they see Crocker on stage and reason that they can't be celebrating anything, so they must be an angry mob out to get him, and out come the Torches And Pitchforks, which they all happened to have tucked away somewhere.
In "Which Witch is Which?", Timmy goes back in time to Dimmsdale's founding and finds the town in a perpetual Witch Hunt thanks to phony witch-hunter Alden Bitterroot (who is actually a warlock himself). Pitchforks are pulled out of nowhere with startling regularity.
In the episode "Shelf Life", Timmy has to jump through several books in pursuit of Tom Sawyer, who's stolen Cosmo's wand. At one point he and Tom end up in Frankenstein right at the "angry mob" scene, and sure enough, there's a mob with torches and pitchforks who head straight for Timmy. To stop them, he alters the book's wording from "the villagers attack" to "the ill attack", and the mob's pitchforks are promptly replaced with IV drips.
Dimmsdale is not amused to learn Timmy has snookered them with his Double-T radio station. The angry mob can only be stopped by another trope.

He buys a clunky German one that blows out the power over the neighborhood when turned on high. While the family observes the blackout, Al comments that at least no one knows they're responsible. Right on cue, the neighborhood instantly accuses the Bundys and comes storming at their door.

Both parodied a few times and played straight in Discworld. For example, in Carpe Jugulum, Nanny Ogg gets several of her sons to organize an angry mob to go after Count Magpyr and his family, who have moved into Lancre Castle with the intent of taking over the country. The Count is not impressed and simply steps out to criticize their "angry mob" form (like using large, unwieldy scythes instead of sickles) before siccing his personal army on the mob. But at the climax, a mob takes on the Count — much to the approval of the witches, as you have to kill your own monsters. (They had brought their children, which would teach the children that monsters could be killed.)
Maskerade features a brief discussion of angry mob etiquette when a mob goes after the Phantom (apparently, it's torches when chasing monsters, and lanterns when chasing smugglers).
Igors working for mad scientists/lords/whatevers have the uncanny ability to have all of their possessions and body parts packed and be halfway out of the village before the peasants can finish distributing these essentials.
Otto von Chriek of The Truth cites this as the reason for his "comical vampire" act—if he's weird but amusing, they're less likely to kill him. He also mentions having lost a friend to such a mob.
An illustration in The Art of Discworld shows "The Mob"; the crowd of not-necessarily-antagonistic people who treat any interesting event in Ankh-Morpork as a form of street theatre. Two of them are, in fact, holding a torch and a pitchfork - but this being the Morporkian melting pot they are a vampire and an Igor.

Sam & Max: Freelance Police both lampshaded and subverted the cliche. Sam immediately identifies a crowd of Scotsmen wielding torches as "An irate mob of torch-bearing villagers out to destroy anything different, unusual or misunderstood!" But then they quickly explain that they're simply in town for the annual torch makers convention and got lost on the way. They still inadvertently frighten away Max's reanimated severed tail, though.

In The Powerpuff Girls episode "Collect Her", Lenny Baxter, a geek who has kidnapped the Powerpuffs to add them to his collection of Powerpuff merchandise, finds his apartment building surrounded by an angry mob (some wielding torches) demanding the release of the Powerpuff Girls, and remarks, "Well, paint me green and call me Frankenstein... they're on to me!"
In another episode, Buttercup, having stunk up Townsville after refusing to bathe, is run out of town by a mob (led by the Mayor, no less). The scene parodies the usual setting, with a dark forest, Buttercup glancing back anxiously before tripping and cutting herself on a bramble - then she comes to her senses and just flies away.
"Halt And Catch Silico" (reboot) has the viral villain Silico spreading lies about the girls over the Internet. The Townsville folk buy into the lies and chase the girls with images of torches and pitchforks on their smartphones.

Subverted in Cthulhu (2007). When the gay protagonist is wrongly arrested for raping and murdering a boy, he naturally assumes the shouting, the torch-carrying crowd is a lynch mob and desperately holds onto the door of the cell to keep it shut. In the morning, he discovers the crowd (presumably Dagon cultists) have unlocked the cell door, and driven off the police so he can escape.

In The Music Man, after Charlie shouts to the citizens of River City that they've been conned by Harold Hill, torch-wielding mobs run around the town hunting for him. They ultimately succeed in arresting him, but the talk of Tar and Feathers prove to just talk, and it all turns out well in the end.

Used in the Johnny Test episode "Johnny Johnny" where Johnny and Dukey get framed for something the robot versions of themselves did around Porkbelly. The robot versions of Johnny and Dukey caused havoc around the city, resulting in an angry mob chasing the real Johnny and Dukey with torches and pitchforks they got from the torches and pitchforks store.

Seen in Irregular Webcomic!, wielded by several angry mobs in the Fantasy theme, usually after the heroes have (more or less) accidentally burnt down their village. First seen here, also here, and here.

In Death: This trope is mentioned a few times. Survivor In Death has Eve encouraging Nadine to spin the story of the Swisher family's murders so that the murderers will look like the kind of monsters people chase with "torches and pitchforks". Considering that the murderers killed men, women, and children without a qualm, that assessment is not too far off. New York To Dallas has Commander Whitney tell the prison director to hand over files or he will have a media conference where he will give graphic details of Isaac McQueen's murdering, torturing and raping, and that the prison staff will be lucky if people don't go after them with "torches and pitchforks". Isaac escaped this prison, and the prison staff actually tried to cover it up and withhold this information, so they would deserve this sort of treatment.

In Skyrim, you get to lead an angry torch-wielding mob to a vampire's lair in the sidequest "Laid to Rest"... then the mob (of about five people) chickens out and asks you to go in first. The sole exception is Thonnir, who lost his wife to the vampire and is eager to take his vengeance on the monster.

In Schlock Mercenary, do not reveal that the teen idols are holograms. It annoys the audience.

Dungeons & Dragons
The AD&D 2nd Edition Ravenloft-setting book Van Richten's Guide to the Created has rules for how and why a torch-and-pitchfork angry mob can kill "the created," mostly Frankenstein's monster-esque flesh golems when they're normally immune to damage from non-magical weapons. Part of its damage from fire, and part of it's from the potent symbolic darkness in an act of mob mentality, which appeals to the Dark Powers of Ravenloft, empowering the mob as a result.
1st Edition adventure I6 Ravenloft. One random encounter inside Strahd's castle was with a group of angry villagers brandishing torches and pitchforks.
1st Edition adventure I10 Ravenloft 2: The House on Gryphon Hill. In one of the Alchemist's dreams, he sees a large crowd carrying torches and pitchforks pursuing a man through a graveyard. The crowd catches the man and pounds a stake through his chest. The Alchemist then sees that the man has his own face.
White Dwarf magazine adventure "Rescue the Paladin!". If the Player Characters fight the landlord and barman in the hostel, a crowd of angry peasants with torches and pitchforks will gather outside. If the Player Characters try to leave, the peasants will tear them limb from limb. If they don't, the peasants set the hostel on fire.

In Castlevania (2017), this trope is referenced plenty of times, since it's a series about vampires. In the first season, Trevor is chased by a mob wielding these (and later explains that the Belmont family's ancestral estate was subjected to this treatment by the Church inciting peasants), and vampire characters like Carmilla later reference "pitchforks, torches, the usual" when speaking of how people tend to drive them out of cities.

An angry mob, complete with torches and pitchforks (and rolling pins, hoes, and a chair) features in the Phineas and Ferb episode "The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein."
Also done during the Halloween special, "That's the Spirit", with the townsfolk pulling torches and pitchforks out of nowhere to chase down the Werecow. This gets played to the hanging of the lampshade:
In the episode paired with it, "The Curse of Candace", Doof's invention hits a group of marathoners, turning them into an angry mob that ends up chasing Candace (who has become convinced she's now a vampire).

Used as a rhetorical device in the 2014 Ted talk "Beware fellow plutocrats, the pitchforks are coming." by billionaire Nick Hanauer in which he warns his fellow 0.1%ers that unless they step up and do something to counteract the rapidly rising inequality in US income and wealth distribution, modern-day versions of such mobs are almost guaranteed.

Girl Genius:
One of the threats to young Sparks or those who start showing any Sparky tendencies without being under the protection of someone like the Baron is they are often hunted down by a mob of the locals, sometimes even including their own families, to forestall the inevitable rampage through the application of pointy steel and fire.
This sketch by the authors plays it for laughs with the candles on the Baron's birthday cake designed to look like an angry mob carrying torches and weapons.
The Heterodyne family usually defied this, with the people of Mechanicsburg having Undying Loyalty to them. However, for one night each year on the winter solstice, the would invoke this intentionally as a game, with a mob of the town's citizens chasing the Heterodyne through the city streets. Before the chase began, the Heterodyne would even send off the Jägers and shut down the Castle to make it more sporting. If the Heterodyne could make it until dawn without being caught, they won.

Twisted: In an episode of Being Human, Mitchell and George are thought to be pedophiles and an angry mob throws them rotten fruit and breaks their windows. During this, they are shown to be watching an old movie with a classic torches and pitchforks scene.

The space heroes rally a mob in Romania to attack Castle Drakul in the Lexx episode "Walpurgis Night". They're unsuccessful until they tell the peasants about the pies they can steal from the castle. What follows is a typical torches-and-pitchforks scene (except that Stan is brandishing a mop, because all the torches were taken).

Moiraine in The Wheel of Time talks down one of these mobs, after she saved their village from Trollocs and healed their wounded. It helps that the mayor is on her side and has a lot of authority in the town.
Whitecloaks like to incite these against Aes Sedai.
A town, later on, sees one of these rampaging through the streets. Up until they meet the heroes coming the other way, who mow a path.

In the opening scene of the first movie, the ogre is obviously used to angry mobs coming to drive him out of his hut, as he easily scares one of them off, even prompting them at one point, "This is the part where you run away." He later hangs a lampshade on it when speaking to Donkey.

The Elder Scrolls:
In series' lore, this is a common reaction by the locals should they find some sort of monster or deviant in their midst. Common targets include vampires, werewolves, necromancers, Daedra worshipers, and many others.
In Skyrim, you get to lead an angry torch-wielding mob to a vampire's lair in the sidequest "Laid to Rest"... then the mob (of about five people) chickens out and asks you to go in first. The sole exception is Thonnir, who lost his wife to the vampire and is eager to take his vengeance on the monster.

Irredeemable: A farming community witness Qubit using his powers to build them a solar-powered tractor and realise he's one of the superheroes who worked with Plutonian, who's gone rogue and killed millions. They don't have torches (it's daylight) but they do have pitchforks. Qubit is quietly relieved when they accept his explanation that they tried their best to stop Plutonian and he's doing what he can to help out now. However when Survivor turns up and informs them that Qubit threw away a chance to kill Plutonian, things turn ugly. Suvivor prevents the mob from lynching Qubit, but later threatens to tell the entire world what Qubit did if he gets in his way.

In the first Sword of Truth book, a wizard's house is surrounded by the trope mob. Well, the wizard first points out they call him a witch - which is reserved for females, while males are warlocks. Then, he asks them what they think a warlock can do. Then, after they list increasingly preposterous strengths that they believe him to have, he says that they must be very brave if they go against someone with such powers with... well... you know.

Parodied in an episode of Dilbert, in which an angry mob becomes confused and wields ice cream scoopers and toilet plungers.
Another comic has Dilbert and Dogbert fleeing in terror of villagers armed with pitchforks and scythes; as they escape, one villager says "Did anyone remember to tell them about the Harvest Festival?"
In the TV show's intro, Ratbert and Catbert are running with a torch and a pitchfork, respectively, for no explicable reason.

The card Kithkin Rabble from Shadowmoor provides the trope picture.
There's also Ludevic's Test Subject, which you have to pay mana to if you want to transform it (by turning the card so that its other side faces up)... but if you do, you get a rather large creature and some fun flavor text:

In an early episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog, an angry mob drops by at the Bagge's house at an attempt to capture Bigfoot, who Muriel invited for dessert. When Bigfoot is reunited with his mother, a human woman, the mob becomes touched. Of course, Eustace, unmoved by this, straps an ankle bracelet around Bigfoot's ankle, which prompts the angry mob to chase after Eustace instead.

Fritz Lang's 1936 film Fury has a lynch mob burning down a jailhouse and nearly killing an innocent man (Spencer Tracy) who had been falsely arrested for kidnapping a child. He survives but decides to get revenge on the mob by staying out of the way and letting its members stand trial for his murder, angry at the fact that legally, a murder attempt is only "murder" when successful.

Sharkenstein: After a female farmer finds Sharkenstein attacking her cattle, she chases it off with a shotgun. In her next scene, she's shown to have gathered a bunch of people together to hunt it down. They don't seem to question her telling them that they're going after a shark monster.

Used several times on SpongeBob SquarePants:
The episode "Bubble Buddy" uses this trope... except the mob just holds needles, given that its target is a bubble.
In "Wigstruck", Spongebob and Sandy were at the movies, and SpongeBob's wig blocked the screen. SpongeBob made the mistake of saying there was no need to start a riot. Take a wild guess of what happens next?
In the episode "Sing a Song of Patrick", an angry mob went after SpongeBob and Patrick, and passed a torches stand (yes, they burn, and yes, they're still underwater), a pitchforks stand, and a... cotton candy stand. After all, as the man said, "You can't go riot without cotton candy!"
Also used in the episode "Slide Whistle Stooges" where the angry mob was chasing Squidward for annoying them with slide whistles.
There were also two instances of the trope in the episode "Giant Squidward" after the resident curmudgeon is sprayed with plant fertilizer. The second time the mob chased Squidward, it was because he didn't say "bless you" to someone that sneezed!
And used in the episode "The Ballad of Filthy Muck" where the angry mob are after SpongeBob and Filthy Muck as they couldn't stand the smell.

These occasionally show up in Warhammer 40,000, mostly in the hive cities. Often led by the completely insane Redemptionist priests (whose unofficial credo is "Burn them all and let the Emperor sort them out"), when they're not being riled up by the local sorcerer of Tzeentch to distract the authorities from the daemon being summoned three levels lower or the genestealer infestation provoking unrest so as to pave the way for the Hive Fleet. Or all three at once.
Also common in Warhammer, mainly throughout The Empire and often in the service of the Witch Hunters. Not as a paid, recruited retinue, more as additional manpower for the final "cleansing" once his investigations have turned up the guilty party... or a convenient scapegoat that the mob won't mind burning alive. Whichever.

Subverted in The Great Race. When Professor Fate's car arrives in Siberia, there are crowds of people holding torches lining the streets, all ominously silent. They don't respond when Fate speaks, but when Maggie DuBois greets them in Russian they throng the car, enthusiastically cheering.

In the third installment of the Anno Domini series, the population can go nuts for three reasons;
either when being roused by a revolutionary,
when the taxes get too high,
or when your tiny island(s) run out of vital resources, such as clothing, basic nutrition, alcohol, tobacco, or chocolates.
Then they will get out their torches, pitchforks, and placards (with nothing written on them) and rampage through your towns, to lapidate statues of yourself, and to burn down all buildings they encounter, including vital public institutions, firms, and their own houses. While the Fire Brigade never intervenes. After the crisis is settled, they start revolting, because vital public institutions, firms, and their own houses(!) are amiss all of a sudden. The higher your population is in the public order, the more they are prone to revolt. While Citizens, Merchants and Aristocrats are the most aggressive, the Pioneers and Settlers are almost always content.

In Team Fortress 2, apparently this is still common behavior in Rottenburg, Germany (nearby Stuttgart). For generations, they've been chasing out witches, mad scientists, and the resident family of mad doctors, the Humboldts. Unfortunately for them, the most recent in the Humboldt lineage, The Medic, is a mad scientist and doctor with a knowledge of black magic...and he has a nasty horde of robots on the tail of himself and his team.

In The Simpsons Game, Marge's superpower is a megaphone that lets her incite non-police civilians into an angry mob, and the sic them on everything from the police, to busting down walls. Depending on the person you convert, you get torches, pitchforks, clubs, pipes and other things. In her three levels and the hub world in the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of the game, you can recruit pretty much all the other recurring characters, the Flanders siblings and Ralph Wiggum as hobbits, and anthropomorphic dogs.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
The Season 5 premiere ends with the restored townsfolk chasing down Starlight Glimmer and retrieving the Mane 6's cutie marks as the group has still been drained by her spell and can't even keep up the chase.
The episode Appleloosa's Most Wanted has Sheriff Silverstar saying "I called for a meeting, not a mob scene"; two ponies cast away their torch and pitchfork dejectedly... Only to pick them right back up again in the climax.

Doctor Who:
The Sisterhood of Karn in "The Brain of Morbius". They chase the Morbius creature off a cliff, à la Frankenstein.
"State of Decay" has an amusing scene where the Doctor persuades the peasants to attack the castle of their tyrannical rulers (actually a spaceship embedded in the ground) with a rousing speech that's paraphrased from the St. Crispin's Day speech in Henry V. A mob scene with torches and pitchforks ensues.
"The Witchfinders": At the climax, the Doctor leads a torch-wielding mob up Pendle Hill to defeat the Morax that have taken the King hostage. Since the torches are made from the wood of the tree that served as the lock of the Morax's prison, they are vulnerable to the smoke.
In the Big Finish Doctor Who episode "The Sky Man", the Master and his companion Cole Jarnish are on an agrarian planet that is being poisoned due to the Time War. The offworlders are blamed and the locals start threatening violence. Cole is able to bluff a lynch mob into leaving by pretending his gravity suit is Powered Armor. Another mob threatens the Master and are never seen again.

Comic Cavalcade: Randy Holcome gathers a crowd to tear their way into the Sheriff station in order to lynch Judy MacGregor for killing his father, and the sheriff for trying to keep her out of their hands. The murder he's acting so upset about is one which he committed himself, he's just happy to convince the township that Judy was responsible and then kill her so that she can't defend herself in a way that spreads blame around.

Spoofed in an episode of My Life as a Teenage Robot called "Raggedy Android", Jenny the Android is wearing an exosuit that makes her appear like a freakish Raggedy-Ann-like monster, and some of the locals, thinking it was one of Dr. Wakeman's experiments that had killed her (the good doctor was exhausted after trying to find Jenny!). General panic and chaos ensues, and an angry mob starts chasing her with makeshift pitchforks and torches, which were actually one pitchfork and cotton candy. Ironically, they get exhausted... after running just a few feet from the carnival.

The Russian embassy in Tehran is destroyed by an angry mob in the climax of The Death of the Vazir Mukhtar. The mob was organized by Persian religious authorities when a eunuch — a slave and a part of the ruler's Sharia-guaranteed inviolable property — tries to escape to Russia thanks to a clause in a peace treaty signed by the main character. Though they don't really tell all that to the mob; the main character just so happens to be a widely-accepted scapegoat for most everything that goes bad in the country, which to be fair is not entirely divorced from truth, what with his attempts to extract sizable war reparations and all.

In the lategame of Long Live the Queen, if her commoner approval is low enough, Elodie looks out of her window to see mobs of angry citizens congregating outside her castle walls, revolting against her rule. If she isn't skilled enough in Lumen or Presence to break them up, she gets killed by them.

Rigoletto has angry townspeople storming Mr. Ribaldi's mansion during the musically dissonant number "The Melody Within". (Ironically, a song about looking inside the person and not judging by exteriors...)

In Don Giovanni a mob chases the title character after he attempts to kidnap Zerlina from her wedding. They catch his servant Leporello instead and almost kill him before he convinces them of who he is.

In Gravity Falls episode "A Tale of Two Stans", Stan relates how his first business venture, selling a chamois called The Sham-Total ("It's a total sham!") backfired, resulting in this trope. Thankfully, the mob was armed with pitchforks Stan sold them, which fell to pieces the minute they reached his stand.
