Trap-Door Fail | comment |
The villain sits in his lair, waiting eagerly to hear how his most recent plan was a success. Suddenly, a Mook comes running in. He looks frightened, and upset: He has bad news. The Mook delivers the news and winces. The Big Bad sits a moment to comprehend this recent update, before bursting into rage. He angrily berates the Mook who has "failed me for the last time!" Convenient Trap Door time! The Big Bad pushes the button, the trap door opens... and it just happens to be right next to the Mook who was supposed to fall in. This is usually followed by a moment of awkward silence before the villain asks, "Do you mind?" The Mook will promptly jump into the trap door after this. Of course, there are alternate varieties. Sometimes the trap door fails to kill its victims, and they continue to complain. Other times, the victim is too fat to slip through. Perhaps the intended victim can fly or otherwise easily escape from the trap. Or in true Looney Tunes style, it refuses to open until the villain decides to jump up and down on it. Regardless of how it plays out, if the trap door doesn't work the way it should, you've just met a Trap Door Fail. Note that the joke need not show where the trap door goes. Can lead to Fridge Logic if the villain's lair is underground. Usually found in comedy. |

In League of Super Evil, when Skullossus loses his suit of armor (due to his soldiers misplacing it at the drycleaners), he angrily yells at his minions for "FAILING ME FOR THE LAST TIME!". It even goes so far as to show a flashback of him yelling this numerous times, and the results, one of which was a classic Trap Door Fail. Ironically enough, since he's just a skull in a jar without his suit, the minions toss him into a chute that leads out to space. | |

Excel♡Saga has Lord Il Palazzo dropping Excel down a trapdoor on numerous occasions (the first half of the anime in particular has this happen almost Once per Episode). The trap itself works fine, it's just not as... permanent as one would expect, with Excel typically clambering back up no worse for wear. There is one point early in the manga where Il Palazzo opens the trapdoor to drop Excel into the oubliette, but she wasn't standing on it. After staring at each other for a few moments, Excel apologetically jumps into the pit. |

The Simpsons: In "Homer Goes to College", when the safety inspectors turn down Burns' bribes, Mr. Burns tells them, "I have the feeling you'll be... dropping the charges," and he presses a button to open the trap door, except the trap door's on the other side of the room. Smithers reminds Mr. Burns that, "The painters moved your desk, sir" (sharp-eyed viewers will notice that sure enough his desk isn't in the usual place in front of the window). In "Grift of the Magi", Burns dumps the victims through the floor, only for them to fall back into the room from the ceiling. His reaction: "Oh, it's doing that thing again!" In "Homer vs. Dignity", when Smithers approached Burns for a vacation, Burns tried to dump him into the trap door, but Smithers had the foresight to disable it. |

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A frequently seen trope, where trap doors are disguised by the likes of Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote, etc., only for their adversaries to completely ignore it or go over the trap doors as though they weren't there… and then it works when Yosemite, Wile E., and others try it. | |

The King and the Mockingbird: This is the King Charles favorite method of dispatching people. Bizarrely, anyone who tries to dodge the trapdoor quickly learns that the trapdoor can actively follow them! It's that kind of thing. When the evil king attempts to pull the trapdoor on his inept chief of police, he escapes the first time by using his umbrella and another time the trapdoor ends up chasing the chief all over the room! | |

In an episode of Superfriends, Lex Luthor drops Superman down a trap door, but he simply flies out. Averted in another episode in which a trap door worked when it really shouldn't have, trapping Black Vulcan (who can fly) the Flash (who has super-fast reflexes) and Batman and Robin (who carry grapple lines). |

In one episode of Pelswick, the titular character goes to a radio station to complain about the change in programming (and the building's doors not being wheelchair-accessible). The manager tries to drop him down a standard trap door, but Pelswick's wheelchair is too wide to even get caught in it. The manager then makes a note to self to make the trap doors wheelchair-accessible. | |

James Bond: In Diamonds Are Forever, Bond is in a elevator and suddenly straddles the sides of the floor, expecting it to be a trap door. He's gassed unconscious instead. In The Spy Who Loved Me, the elevator really does have a trap door; the Big Bad's Establishing Character Moment involves him using it to drop his treacherous secretary into a Shark Pool. When Bond turns up in the climax he sends the elevator down for Bond and presses the button to activate the trap door...only when the elevator door opens, Bond is straddling the sides to stop himself from falling in. |

American Dad!: In "Bush Comes to Dinner", it's revealed that Stan had a trap door set up for just in case Hayley starts being liberal to a guest (in this case, George W. Bush). When she attempts to call Bush out on the whole "Iraq" thing, Stan opens the trap door, only for Hayley to move her legs so she's standing on the sides. However, Stan thought ahead and hits a button that widens the hole, sending her down. In the non-canon (for what little there is) James Bond parody, "Tearjerker", the titular villain (played by Roger) opens a trap door below a scientist who failed him. The door works fine, but the scientist gets stuck on the slide it leads to, forcing Tearjerker to call someone to push him into the water tank trap, setting up the Running Gag that Tearjerker hired a slipshod contractor who did a terrible job constructing his Supervillain Lair. In "Morning Mimosa", after Trish and Suze find out that Steve lied about being an orphan and actually has a mom, they decide to put Francine and Steve in the pit as a punishment. However, when they pull the wire that opens it, they realize Francine and Steve were no where near the trapdoor. |

Grabbing onto a nearby vine he swings himself to safety. Unfortunately, said vine comes to life and constricts itself around his wrist, leading into Isley's far deadlier pet Man-Eating Plant trying to devour him. | |

Happens in the episode "Loo-Kee Lends A Hand" in She-Ra: Princess of Power. A running gag for the series has Hordak regularly dropping Mantenna down a trapdoor and into a water tank (sometimes for annoying him, sometimes for kicks). For this episode, Hordak gets his hands on a device called the Time Stopper. Eager to test this out, he summons Mantenna and promptly zaps him freezing him in time. Imp then asks to activate his boss's trap door, only to be come absolutely crestfallen when Mantenna remains frozen in mid air... at least until Hordak undoes the time stop. | |

Family Guy: In "E. Peterbus Unum", Mayor West dumps people who complain to him out of his office with a trap door, but Peter got stuck in it because he was so fat. He said he hadn't planned on being menaced by an especially portly malcontent, but would have a "fat malcontent trap door" installed sometime soon. He then pushes Peter through the trap door until he falls through. In "Peterotica", Carter Peuterschmidt successfully dropped a lawyer through a trap door, only to lead to him defeating the Rancor in a Return of the Jedi parody. |

After a while a mysterious hooded figure appears to deliver a quest of her own and simply levitates above trapdoor when the Overlord opens it.
