[[File:Accordion_Man.jpg|link=Classic Disney Shorts|right]]
A character crushed by an [[Anvil Onon Head]] or other large object (e.g. piano) will often stumble away, being squashed into a pleated and flexing shape like an accordion, frequently accompanied by accordion music.
 
Compare to [[Squashed Flat]].
 
And no, it's not a [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|new and bizarre Robot Master]].

Line 12:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* [[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario]], when he gets slammed by a massive hammer, turns into one of these; it gives him super bouncing powers.
* [[Space Quest]], in the falling [[Have a Nice Death|death pictures]] in the third and fifth episodes.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Happens to Monterey Jack in the third part of the ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animationanimation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' [[Five Episode Pilot]] "To the Rescue". When Fat Cat accidentally steps on him while running, he turns into an Accordion Mouse for a second before stumbling on along his way.
* Happens to Peter in ''[[Family Guy]]'' when, true to form, a piano falls on him.
* The [[Classic Disney Shorts|Mickey Mouse cartoon]] ''The Cactus Kid'' (happens to Pegleg Pete, pictured at right) and others.
* Frequented a lot of [[Tex Avery]] cartoons.
* Several [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]] cartoons, one time in which the Italian dog that gave Tom that injury promptly proceeded to play Tom like an actual accordion.
* And plenty of [[Looney Tunes]] shorts. A certain Coyote, Wile E. is occasionally subject to this, with appropriate sounds. On a couple of occasions, a crashing piano [[Piano Drop|gives him piano keys for teeth which began spontaneously playing a song]], instead of turning his body into an accordion.
** [[Shout -Out]]: "Look at the new [[Dick Tracy (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Dick Tracy]] character: Accordion Head."
* It happened a couple of times in [[Rocko's Modern Life]] most notably after Rocko and Heffer crash into the ground on a cheaply made roller coaster.
* It happened to Eddy in the ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' episode "Tag, Yer Ed", after Lee Kanker slammed him head first into a wrestling mat. She then starts playing him like an actual accordion.
** Edd suffers a similar gag in "Laugh, Ed, Laugh", getting smacked into a street lamp while trying to subdue a scam-deprived Eddy. When Ed picks him up off the ground, he's scrunched flat and has a hilarious dazed look on his face.
* An episode of ''[[Ka Blam!]]!'' had Henry and June bring in the guy who invented it, but then his thank-you list was too long, so June sent down an anvil on him...and he performed the trope.
* Happened to Lucius on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''.
* ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' featured a variation of this: whenever Kaa gets his tail caught in some bamboo, when he frees it his tail flies back at him causing himself to recoil instantly (he is a snake), making an accordion noise as he does so.
