A staple of cartoons where a character grabs a backpack and jumps from the great height, opens the pack, and anything but a parachute falls out. Commonly, it can be food, camping supplies or heavy objects like an anvil. Examples |

Used as a gag in one episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? — a Scenes From a Hat game asked for things that one wouldn't want to see when their parachute didn't open. | |

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: In Duck Amuck, Daffy's parachute works just fine, but the animator erases the chute and replaces it with an anvil. On one Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoon, Wile E. tries to be Crazy-Prepared by wearing a parachute in case he falls off a cliff. He opens it and out comes... canning samples. He was even prepared for that, and swallowed a bunch of painkillers. "Devil's Feud Cake": An econo-cartoon featuring clips of past Bugs Bunny-Yosemite Sam adventures with alternate endings. The trope-fitting clip comes in the segment featuring a segment from "Hare Lift" where – after Bugs sends the plane they're on into a nosedive – Sam grabs what he thinks is the only available parachute and jumps ... only to find he's grabbed a knapsack of camping supplies and it's bye-bye, Sam! In the original cartoon, Sam's chute works fine, except that he lands in the backseat of a police car (having earlier robbed a bank). Variation in the Wartime Cartoon "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips", Bugs encounters a parachuting Japanese pilot and hands the guy a "scrap iron" donation (See: Anvil) and the poor fellow instantly plummets to earth like his canopy was cut. |

There is a dramatic version in the live-action Shazam series in which a boy incorrectly packs a parachute by himself without telling any adults about it. As a result, a skydiver takes the pack and takes off for a dive before the boy confesses. They are too late to stop the dive and everyone watches in horror knowing that his parachute won't open. Fortunately, Billy Batson transforms into the Flying Brick Super Hero, Captain Marvel, and flies up to open the parachute pack himself. | |

In one episode of Laff-A-Lympics, Mumbly switches the tags on Grape Ape's and Yakky Doodle's parachutes during a skydiving competition. The small parachute causes Grape Ape to fall like a stone, while the large parachute leaves Yakky Doodle stranded aloft in a thunderstorm. | |

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Eddie is falling from a great height and is joined by Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, both wearing parachutes. Eddie asks for a spare, so Bugs gives it to him. He opens it... and out comes a spare tire. | |

Schlock Mercenary had eponymous amorph left behind because he doesn't have armor (he's ridiculously hard to kill anyway) and they were going through vacuum. Following the team on his own in an emergency exosuit, Schlock quickly discovered that the emergency suit doesn't have gravitics like powered armor and he's going to "navigate" a shaft 6.2 kilometers deep ballistically, in near- Earth gravity, but zero air resistance. | |

In Superman #176, which explains how Superman decided on his ideal location for his Fortress of Solitude, he's on a flight over the arctic as Clark Kent when the plane suffers engine troubles. Almost immediately, everyone went for the parachutes, but Clark, who was inspecting the packs with his x-ray vision, notices a ripped parachute and switches it with his good one. Luckily for Clark, nobody notices the Human Alien dropping like a stone in the arctic night. | |

While this doesn't actually happen in Far Cry 3, the in-game Survival Guide jokes about it once you receive the parachute after getting to the second island, stating that you should "make sure to watch out for the bags of pots and pans disguised as parachutes." | |

Two similar gags in Léonard le Génie: One comic has the disciple open the parachute, only to reveal a sheet of paper from the maid Mathurine, saying the parachute is in laundry. In a similar gag, Leonardo once handed Basile the backpack containing their lunch instead of a parachute. |

In SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob visited a dream in which he and Sandy were free falling. One of the things Sandy asked him to do was use a parachute. Cue SpongeBob inflating his shoes and giving Sandy a parakeet before she (forgetting to deploy her parachute) falls onto a truck full of clam manure and flatly says, "Medic." | |

On The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Will Ferrell makes a cameo as a member of the "mercenary" salesman team that died on a publicity stunt, which involved parachuting to the car lot while dressed as Abraham Lincoln. Unknowingly he took a backpack full of sex toys instead of the actual parachute, and in his desperation he tried to soften his fall with a dildo. Of course, considering that this is a "sad" flashback... | |

This is used in the Henry Stickmin Series game Escaping the Prison. In one of the choices, Henry can use the parachute to fall down from the roof, only to find out that the "parachute" is actually just a regular backpack. The fail screen lampshades this (see page quote). | |

Family Guy: Brian is going skydiving. Right before he jumps out, the instructor stops him and points out that he grabbed "the one with silverware" in it. He tosses Brian another parachute... that contains an anvil. Subverted in a Cutaway Gag that explains why Stewie does not trust Brian with packing his parachute. When Stewie jumps out of a plane, he pulls the cord and his parachute works just fine — but it has the words "I'M A HOMO" painted on it. |
