When TV characters hold a birthday party or baby shower or a similar event, the party will be attended by four or five familiar characters, as well as about twenty people who have never been seen before and will never be seen again. Since we see pretty much every aspect of the characters' lives, we can't help but wonder who these people are and when the characters had time to meet them, let alone befriend them. Strangely, by the time of the relevant character's next birthday, they've completely changed around their extraneous circle of friends. Also, rarely will the main characters ever interact with these people at the party, unless it's just for a quick throwaway joke, so one must wonder why all these extras are even at this party to begin with. This is especially common in sitcoms. It is slightly more plausible in school sitcoms, since said party people would usually be from the school the characters attend (though it doesn't explain the change-around when the next birthday comes...) Not to be confused with the movie 24-Hour Party People, a biopic of Factory Records and the Manchester music scene in the 1980s/1990s, though both the trope and that movie are named after the Happy Mondays song. See also New Neighbours as the Plot Demands and Social Circle Filler. |

It's used a few times in Bojack Horseman when the title character throws parties, and it's justified in-universe by showing that he'll let pretty much anyone in (it's how he met his best friend Todd). In one episode where he'd alienated all of his friends it was explicitly stated that he didn't actually know anyone at his own party. It's averted when his frenemy Mr. Peanutbutter throws a party; the guests are usually all recurrers or minor characters we've seen before. When someone is new there's always an explanation as to how he knows them, and he keeps track of and will invite anyone he has ever met, up to and including some guy he met at a gas station. | |

Played with in an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Will's friend Jazz is getting married with Phil performing the ceremony. Will comments on the number of guests who showed up and Phil says "Are you kidding? I hired these people. Jazz ain't got no friends!" | |

Mostly played straight during the party in Avengers: Age of Ultron. While there's the usual group of unknowns, Dr Helen Cho, James Rhodes, Maria Hill, Sam Wilson, and a group of elderly World War II veterans are also present. | |

A glaring example occurred in the second season of Angel. Three main characters are happy about some money coming in to Angel Investigations. Two of them have recently been exiled from their respective social circles and the other has little to no social life due to her Cursed with Awesome visions, yet somehow they throw a party at the office where 24-Hour Party People are seen dancing and then never seen again. A couple off the party-goers do show on at least one other occasion as Cordelia's friends and it was implied that she had a more active social life at the beginning of the series. |

This happens a number of times in House, although in this case, it's more or less justified; it's a hospital drama, and therefore the show is 90% set in a work environment. In one episode, Cuddy has a naming ceremony (Zeved habat) for her adopted baby, and Cameron, Chase and Wilson show up. Along with about 20 randoms no-one has seen before. Chase's bachelor party was also attended by people nobody had seen before and never saw again. |

A notable exception is The Simpsons, which has so many characters now that any gathering will consist entirely of people who were featured in at least one past episode (although it may be completely ludicrous for them to attend the gathering in question). In fact, The Simpsons has random extras instead of Faceless Masses. It's not that unusual for an animated show to have its party people to be the same at every party. After all, you only need to draw these characters, and they don't necessarily have to have any lines. In a regular, non-animated sitcom, you would either have to hire the same group of extras for every party, or only use crew members and friends of crew members as background talent. Parodied in the episode "How I Wet Your Mother", when Homer throws an apology party after angering all his coworkers. At the table with Lenny and Carl, a female extra notes this is the best apology party Homer has ever thrown. Lenny, still smiling, casually asks "Who the hell are you?" | |

Sex and the City may have been just as guilty of this as Friends. Anytime the girls hosted a birthday party, baby shower, wedding etc.; most of their guests were a bunch of random characters that were never seen before and would never be seen again for the rest of the series. Keep in mind that when these girls went out to parties, only the four of them attended together about 90% of the time. Their dates were there for the following 10%. Just how good were these friends they kept inviting? | |

Almost sent up in Peep Show, where Mark calls out three party crashers to, erm, a bunch of 24-Hour Party People. So near, and yet so far. To be fair, there are a whole bunch of episodes where Mark and Jez mention friends they have who have never been shown on screen before — the opening of the episode where Jeremy meets The Orgazoid at the pub is a particularly good example. One assumes that a large portion of the people here are those occasionally-mentioned characters making an appearance. Indeed, many of the characters that appear in the background of the parties are the same at each party, if one were to watch carefully. | |

In Care Bears episode "Care Bear Town Parade", everyone is in the parade, so who is in the audience? The parade-watchers are extra bears who exist only in this one episode. They all look like clones of Tenderheart in different colors, though this is not obvious unless one pauses the video. | |

The Big Bang Theory had a bunch of random people on Leonard's birthday. Of course, we only see the party from a phone recording, as Penny was the one who organized it inviting a bunch of her friends and he missed his own surprise party (Howard's afternoon distracted ended up going to the ER). Penny has also thrown a few parties at her place, but the main characters actually usually don't attend because they have no interest in football. This also makes some sense because it wasn't until the third season that Penny really became One of the Guys, beforehand she was more of a Drop-In Character with a life of partying separate from them. But most of the time when they do have a party it is filled with a number of recurring characters like Barry Kripke, Leslie Winkle and Wil Wheaton. | |

Schitt's Creek does this on a few occasions: Mutt's party at the barn is filled with people we've never seen before, and that's where David meets Jake. Stevie, however, seems to have met Jake before. Patrick's housewarming party has a lot of people mulling about that we've never seen before. Patrick's birthday party also has quite a few guests we've never seen before. |

Happened at Scully's baby shower on The X-Files, though since Scully has no female friends other than one seen in season one and she looks visibly awkward, it's plausible that they're a mix of co-workers and women her mother knows. | |

Played with on an episode of General Hospital. Carly's mother organizes a bridal shower for her. Although the women present are known to the viewers, they are virtual strangers to the bride-to-be, who has no friends thanks to her nasty personality. Adding insult to injury, they've brought gifts not for her, but for her infant son. | |

In the infamous "So bad it's good film" The Room (2003), the climax takes place at a birthday party Lisa throws for Johnny. The party is full of people that the audience has never seen before but the kicker is the character of Steven, who has never been introduced up until that point and somehow is involved enough in the plot to give counsel to the main characters. (The character was actually supposed to be Peter the therapist, who was introduced previously, but that actor had another gig. Wiseau, despite knowing this, did not finish filming the actor's scenes, and so had to go with another actor, hoping no one would notice.) | |

Lightly averted on Freaks and Geeks. In the "Beers And Weirs" episode's house party, most of the people attending aren't directly friends with Lindsey, but we can assume enough word got around about it that several non-Freak/geek classmates decided to attend (anything for some free beer!). Also, there are quite a few side characters at the party (such as Mark, who would later be revealed as Nick's pot dealer). | |

The extras on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic turn into this whenever a party happens, though most of those parties are organized by Pinkie Pie, who claims to know everyone in town and probably does. If anything, the birthday party she throws for her pet alligator stands out for having such a small guest list. Less justified is Diamond Tiara's cuteceañera, where we clearly see a few adults arriving not accompanied by a minor, including Twilight Sparkle, one of the show's main characters. (Then again, Pinkie Pie had been hired to organize the party, and knowing her, might have thought it okay to add to the guest list.) | |

Invoked in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Dead Man's Party." The point of the episode was to have a big party, with a bunch of people at it that Buffy didn't know, in order to play up how uncomfortable it is for her to be back in Sunnydale after running away from home and coming back after several weeks. The original intent was to have a welcome back dinner with her friends and mother, which would have averted this trope entirely, but where's the drama in that? The same thing happens again in "Older and Far Away", only in the more traditional sense (and with Dawn as the focus). | |

How I Met Your Mother: Happens when Ted's 30th birthday party on the rooftop has dozens of guests. Also hilariously lampshaded in the first season when Ted throws a 3-day party just for the sake of hooking up with Robin again. Barney explains that, at any sufficiently large party, there will be someone there who you don't know and who doesn't know anybody you do know. To wit: And the lampshading and the hilarity continues when they meet at the following party: They actually do end up meeting Carlos. Also subverted for Lily's bridal shower. Robin is invited and expects to spend the evening with all of Lily's friends, only to find that she's the only friend there — the rest are family. Subverted again in a later episode where Robin repeatedly guilts Lily for forgetting to send the invitations to her bridal shower, finally Lily gets annoyed and reveals that she didn't forget to send the invitations, Robin simply doesn't have any friends. |

In Breaking Bad, Jesse once threw a massive party. He didn't care how much money he spent, who was there, what happened at it, how bad his house was trashed, so long as it never ended. As a result, we justifiably don't know many of the guests. | |

Done a few times on Charmed. First with Piper's baby shower and later would be done for every birthday party Piper's children had. You could probably also count Prue's funeral and the funeral Piper, Phoebe, and Paige had when they faked their deaths. | |

Frasier: Every time Frasier or Niles hold a party, plenty of people show up who the audience has never seen before, seemingly just to fill party space. These people often leave offended; one wonders how they keep meeting these folks! On the other hand, their social circle is frequently described as being composed of interchangeable, shallow, insincere socialites who will turn up to whatever gathering will make them look good. | |

Friends is particularly guilty of this. We saw a lot of the six main cast members, and they pretty much exclusively hung out with each other and possibly whoever they were dating at the time. Virtually every party they held was attended by a very large cast of unknowns. Lampshaded when Rachel and Phoebe throw an engagement shower for Monica and invite everyone in her address book who could make it on 24 hours notice. During the party Phoebe looks around the room and realises she doesn't know who any of the guests are. Gunther usually was at their parties as well. Lampshaded when one of them is planning a party and says they have to invite Gunther since they've been talking about it loudly in the coffee shop. Averted in "The One with the Fake Party", where Gunther is the only guest apart from the six friends and the two guests of honor. In one episode Chandler invites Ross to his cousin's Stag Party. When Ross asks why he's being invited to a party for a man he's never met Chandler explains that the cousin doesn't have any friends of his own. |
