Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })When the floor suddenly gives way underneath someone, usually due to the boards having been weakened by rot or something heavy falling on them. Often leads to the floor below that collapsing, and then the floor below that in a cascade of disintegrating floors. See also Bullethole Door, where a floorboard (or wall) failure is invoked via More Dakka to create a passageway that wasn't there before. Examples |

The Simpsons When Homer Simpson is joining the Stonecutters, he has to take part in an Initiation Ceremony while blindfolded. Another episode has Homer & Marge talking about the terrible shape their house is in, and just then Bart falls halfway into the kitchen from the 2nd floor. "Little help?" Marge pushes him back up the newly created hole with a broom handle. And in the episode "Lisa's Wedding", Lisa's fiance Hugh falls through the floor of the addition Homer built onto the house. Thankfully, the compost heap cushioned his fall. |

In the American Dad! James Bond spoof "Tearjerker", Stan and Francine's characters fall through the floorboards of the titular vilain (Roger)'s lair when they try to escape. This was another blunder of the contractor who built the place as Roger comments "Never hire a contractor just because he's gorgeous." Later in the episode, when Roger sends his minions from his blimp to the lair, the floorboards break just as they land. All Roger can say is a deadpan "Really?" |

Farscape. Aeryn and John Crichton discuss their UST. Aeryn suggests they resolve it, but John is hesitant (they're picking their way through a badly damaged space station trying to get to a group of survivors, so getting into Aeryn's uniform isn't his first priority at the moment). Aeryn, annoyed, turns to face him and unzips her top, demanding to know what he's afraid of. Cue the floor giving out beneath her and dropping Aeryn into another part of the station. | |

Gaston Lagaffe: In one episode a chainsaw that Gaston had meddled with goes haywire, cutting a hole in the floor around his desk and dropping it and Gaston into the office below, where the process repeats itself. After going through three floors, it is still going, several characters have gathered on top of Gaston's desk (Lebrac appreciating the Security Cling courtesy of a female coworker), and one asks how many more floors there are.note Gaston's desk is usually set on the cinquième or sixième étage, which in US numbering would be the sixth or seventh floor respectively. In another, Lebrac drops termites overnight into Gaston's Gaffophone as a desperate measure to get rid of the damn thing. The next morning, everything made of cellulose is collapsing or disintegrating at the lightest touch. Gaston hurriedly runs to the attic... to find his instrument still there (the termites apparently left it alone due to the varnish on it). An incensed Prunelle asks Lebrac to follow him to his office... just as the two of them are going through the floor. And yet another example, Gaston is painting the floor of his office while holding an internal monologue about how he won't be falling for the old 'painted into a corner' gag. Unfortunately for him, his home-made paint eats through the floor and completely disintegrates it, leaving him stranded on the tiny corner he left unpainted. |

In the Animorphs book The Reaction, Rachel involuntarily morphs an elephant on the second floor of her house, causing the floor to collapse. Later books feature the house being repaired and discussions of a lawsuit levelled against the builders. Rachel feels guilty, since the house was never meant to support an elephant, but she cannot explain what happened without revealing the truth. | |

This happens in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. Claire and Steve cause a walkway to collapse, leaving Claire's ankle trapped just long enough for Steve to have to kill his undead father. | |

Happens twice in the second episode of Code Geass: the rebels destroy a group of enemy mechas by shooting the floor out from under them, and Lelouch's own mech falls through several floors of a concrete building (it survives undamaged). | |

Justified in All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird, since the stone floor of the Cradle of Sulevin has slowly collapsed over several ages and it's dangerous to walk, never mind battle revenants. As a result, the Lady Inquisitor takes a nasty fall. | |

In one of the Ramona Quimby books, Ramona falls halfway through the unfinished floor of a friend's attic. She's very annoyed when she tries to tell the story at the dinner table with what she feels is an appropriate amount of drama, and her older sister interrupts, saying how easy it is to step onto the plaster and that she knows someone who fell all the way through. | |

In Non Non Biyori, the school's leaky roof and general decay have resulted in patches of floor rotting away. Natsumi points this out in one episode, but claims no one's stupid enough to fall through. The next shot/panel is her brother Suguru in a hole in the floor. | |
