Catapult Nightmare: The gendarme has one in which he tries to eat some of the food that the old lady throws on the ground, only for a group of man-sized pigeons wearing suits to approach him, hold him down, and peck him repeatedly on the chest.

Asshole Victim: The gendarme is not a very nice man and ends up much worse off than when the short starts.
