Where's the Kaboom?	comment	The good guys have set up a bomb that they plan to use to destroy the Evil Overlord's whole fortress. They get safely outside the blast radius, evading a wave of Mooks, and The Hero holds the detonator high so the Big Bad can see, ready to take out the entire pursuing Legion of Doom, and... Click... Click... Click-Click-Click... Nothing. The detonator has failed at the worst possible time, leading someone to have to go back and activate the explosive/device manually. Or worse, the enemy simply dismantled the bombs or jammed the detonator before the bombs could be set off, and gets to rub the hero's face in it. Usually Played for Drama rather than comedy. One exception is in cartoons, where the bomber themself will inevitably go back to check, and have it explode (harmlessly) in their face. This trope may be followed by a Delayed Explosion. This is the trope you really want to invoke when a Land Mine Goes "Click!".

Where's the Kaboom? / int_1682583	comment	A sad version happens in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Jerrid's given instructions to detonate a capsule that is said to contain a bomb in it if anyone gets near it while Emma attempts negotiations with the AEUG (re: unknowingly giving them a note telling them to surrender the captured Gundam Mk. II or said capsule would explode). When Kamille races out with the Mk.II to get the capsule, Jerrid takes aim and fires, destroying the capsule and promptly freaks out as to why it didn't explode and take out the fragile Mk.II. There was no bomb. In the capsule was Kamille's mother.

Then they go to a pawn shop and buy a gun and a grenade. They toss the grenade into the car expecting a mammoth explosion, but it releases little more than a puff of smoke. Thoroughly disappointed, Mac does some poppers and tries shooting the gas tank, but even that does nothing. They ultimately give up, reasoning that the damage is enough to convince everyone that they were vaporized.

Where's the Kaboom? / int_27b0262b	comment	MythBusters: They were testing a very small amount of explosive, and nothing happened. Subversion of the trope similar to The Bridge at Remagen when it was discovered that the explosion had occurred, but out of concern they had put too many sandbags on top of it to detect the event visually. Another case happened when Kari, Grant and Tori were setting off explosives in a quarry to create a wave... and silence. The bomb squad then spends several tense minutes carefully fishing the tons of live explosives out of the lake to find the problem. A similar situation has happened to Jamie and Adam at least once. This is one of the most dangerous malfunctions a bomb squad can encounter because of the chance of a delayed explosion while someone is investigating the problem. Heck, this trope seems to be invoked in at least half of the myths where an explosion is called for. Most of the time it's played straight (as with the surfing myth above), to the point that the phrase "Ah, Houston, we have a problem" has become something of a Running Gag. However, at least two times this trope has been subverted. In one case, an underwater detonation was not energetic enough to be noticed on the surface at all. ("Sorry, Houston, we don't have a problem.") In that particular episode, it's later played straight, with a callback to the earlier subversion. ("Ah, Houston...me again. This time we really do have a problem.") Not to mention the bit with the Hindenburg skin with Thermite paste, where it seemed to not ignite until their backs were turned, only to suddenly BURST into flames. In some other myths, they use a backup explosion in case the myth-related one still has a chance of going off unexpectedly. The episode on Thermite vs Ice has this happen on thermite fuse. It gets really antsy since they have to put in another fuse while the first one may still go off, resulting in Jamie needing to put on protective gear in order to approach the thermite. Yet another example: when they tested a myth involving a liquid-nitrogen-cooled bomb taking longer to go off, the frozen bomb didn't go off at all, and they had to wait for it to melt before trying to set it off again.

Where's the Kaboom? / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes: The Trope Namer is a cartoon entitled "Hare-Way to the Stars", where Marvin, unaware that Bugs took his Explosive Space Modulator, asks "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!" A common occurrence in the Roadrunner cartoons whenever Wile E. Coyote tried using explosives. The detonator (Acme brand, of course), would jam up or refuse to set off the explosives. Naturally, they'd always blow up when he tried to cross the booby-trapped area himself.

Joker flings up his arms and fiddles around with the detonator (including a little Percussive Maintenance) for a few seconds until he's startled by the explosions resuming and high-tails it out of there.

Also toyed with a bit when he gets a kaboom when Leon, hanging from his belt-mounted grappling hook (amazing how often that thing comes into play!), shoots the other end of the trumpet and causes Salazar to flip his lid.

Captain Hook seems annoyed at the insistence that there must be a splash when someone walks the plank, so he throws said crewman overboard to create one.

Where's the Kaboom? / int_62f94c6	comment	The Dark Knight Trilogy: The famous hospital-demolition scene from The Dark Knight in which the Joker attempts to do an Unflinching Walk to the getaway bus while the hospital implodes behind him, which turns into black comedy when midway through, the explosions suddenly stop. Joker flings up his arms and fiddles around with the detonator (including a little Percussive Maintenance) for a few seconds until he's startled by the explosions resuming and high-tails it out of there. (Contrary to popular rumor, the "malfunction" was intentional and rehearsed ahead of time — its purpose was to make sure Ledger was a safe distance from the building before the real fireworks began.) Turned against the Joker in the climax with the bomb-strapped passenger ferries. When Joker has Batman pinned with the midnight deadline for one ferry to blow up the other about to occur, he gleefully tells Batman, "We don't want to miss the fireworks. And here...we...go." However, both ferries refused to carry out Joker's demand, causing visible confusion on Joker's face at the lack of an explosion. He even turns around to look at a clock, and when he sees the clock has surpassed midnight, he is visibly shocked that his social experiment failed. Played straight in The Dark Knight Rises, when Commissioner Gordon disrupts the radio detonator as Miranda Tate reveals herself to be Talia Al Ghul and attempts to destroy Gotham City.

Where's the Kaboom? / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1 has a few examples: "Family" Has one of the more bizarre examples, when Teal'c's brainwashed son tried to set off a hyper-toxic chemical bomb hidden in a pair of fake teeth by clacking his jaws together. Nothing happens, because the heroes had already noticed his deadly teeth and replaced them with harmless ones. In "Point of No Return", Martin notices that the device he stole from Tanner is counting down, everybody assumes there's a bomb in the facility and makes their dramatic escape. When nothing happens, there's a few seconds of awkward silence and it's revealed the countdown was actually for the self-destruct of Martin's escape pod, several miles away. In the Season 9 premier, the team and Bra'tac successfully use the ring transporters to send a bomb to an Ori mothership. After several seconds nothing happens, and they note the bomb should have gone off by now. No definite reason for why is ever given, but a subsequent episode (see below) suggests a Prior used his powers to stop it from detonating. In "Counterstrike", the team is exploring a seemingly abandoned Ori mothership and they put C4 in various key places in case they have to destroy it. Later they realize they do have to destroy it (with them still on board), Mitchell clicks the detonator...and nothing. Cue Adria explaining that she prevented it with her powers.

We then learn the grenade was not actually armed... and we see T&T a safe distance away, wondering what's taking the grenade so long. A few panels later, we see that they spent the whole night waiting for it to go off.note This is an example of Truth in Television. At the time, there were several countries and companies that didn't put the explosives in the grenades when they're being transported, in order to avoid accidents like that. Once the grenades reached their destination, they'd be unpacked and have their explosives put in when necessary. In Destination Moon, Captain Haddock puts a firecracker under Calculus's chair in an attempt to shock him out of his Easy Amnesia. He and Tintin wait outside for a while, but don't hear it go off. Captain Haddock, thinking that the fuse has gone out, goes back in to see what happened. Tintin tries to warn him that it's still smoking, but it's too late.

Rainbow Parakeet has planted bombs all over the robot revolutionary Blue Knight's sanctuary and is about to press the button on the detonator, taunting Astro that the only way to stop him is to kill him and prove he's just as ruthless as Blue Knight. Astro opens fire on him and apparently misses. Cue maniacal laughter as the villain presses the button. Click, click, click. Turns out Astro decided to Take a Third Option and was actually firing at the communications antenna that would relay the remote detonator's signal.

Where's the Kaboom? / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "The Sontaran Stratagem": The Doctor and a UNIT soldier are trapped in a car with an autopilot ready to dump them into a river. The Doctor confuses the autopilot, and both leap out of the car waiting for the whole thing to blow up ... and the device simply shuts down with a fizzle. "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End": In the mid-story cliffhanger, the Doctor is shot by a Dalek and begins to regenerate. The second episode opens with the Doctor managing to avoid fully regenerating by channeling the excess energy into his spare hand, resulting in this reaction from Jack and Rose (especially so in her case as she's seen the Doctor regenerate before) in the form of a confused "huh?" Donna, meanwhile is even more confused as she had no idea what was supposed to happen in the first place. At the climax, the Doctor and his companions watch in horror as Davros laughs gleefully as the Reality Bomb counts down to 1... and then nothing happens because Donna, having become part-Time Lord, stopped it while everyone thought she was knocked out. "Thin Ice": Lord Sutcliffe attempts to set off the explosives that will destroy the ice and send people on the frozen Thames down to be fed to the giant serpent imprisoned underwater â€” and nothing happens. He's not pleased. It turns out that the Doctor moved the explosives underwater so they would destroy the serpent's chains, thus freeing it.

Eventually a full-fledged Kazon ambush, combined with a suicide bombing, cripples the ship and Janeway grimly gives the self-destruct code to prevent their capture.

Part of the Big Bad's plan is two explosive devices (one to do the job and one as a backup), which she had on her ship. The heroes send a guy to break into their ship and take the bombs. She assumes that this means that they've taken them on their ship, and tries to detonate them. Problem is, they didn't. They actually hid the bombs on her own ship, in the ship's smuggler's box (a small compartment shielded from all forms of detection). The detonation signal couldn't reach the bombs as long as they were there, resulting in no kaboom. They then goad her into opening the box, allowing the detonation signals to reach the bombs. The kaboom follows shortly afterwards.
