Broken Glass Penalty: Difference between revisions

* This happens twice in ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|Clannad]]'', whilst the cast are playing baseball. It's Akio's fault both times.

* At one point in ''[[Yotsuba&! (Manga)|Yotsuba&!]]'', Yotsuba kicks a soccer ball through a window by accident. Her dad spanks her. Later, in a similar situation she breaks a couple of dishes by bouncing a yoga ball around. This time dad is more concerned about her lying about it, and when she claims it was the fault of a "lying bug", he takes her to a somewhat scary "lying bug eating statue" so that she'll tell the truth.

* Happens to Edmund in [[The Film of the Book]] of ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]: [[The Lion, the Witch Andand Thethe Wardrobe]]''. The children's attempt to hide leads them into the Wardrobe, which sends them to Narnia. (In the book, they were hiding from the housekeeper conducting a tour of the [[Big Fancy House]]).

* The plot of ''[[Honey I Shrunk the Kids (Film)|Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]]'' kicks off like this, with Ron Thompson hitting a baseball through the window of the Szalinskys' attic, which lands on the machine which Wayne Szalinsky has been working on. When Ron and Nick, Wayne's son, go to get the ball back, they are shrunk by the machine, followed by Russ and Amy when they go up to check on their siblings.

* An ''[[Encyclopedia Brown (Literature)|Encyclopedia Brown]]'' chapter involves kids playing ball in the house and accidentally throwing the ball ''out'' the window. To avoid getting in trouble, they put a rock on the floor in the room and told their mother that someone had thrown the rock in; that's how the window got broken. The mother figured it out EB-style: {{spoiler|If the rock had been thrown in, there would be glass in the room, but there wasn't, only glass on the ground outside.}}

* In the US ''[[Dennis the Menace US (Comic Strip)|Dennis the Menace US]]'', Dennis and his friends do this to Mr. Wilson's house sometimes, usually resulting in a Type B or D outcome.

* This happens in an episode of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. A few kids are playing with a ball, and a window is broken. Iroh appears and the following dialogue occurs:

* One episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'' plays out like this - the girls throw their ball through the window of Mojo Jojo, who tries to use it as an excuse to destroy them while pretending to be looking for their ball. After the girls [[Priceless Ming Vase|continue to do more damage in the house]], he instead just gives them the ball back [[Get Out!|so that they will leave]]. He receives the [[So Once Again the Day Is Saved]] credit because he returned their ball.

* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (Animation)|The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' and ''[[Kid VSvs. Kat]]'' would be two C examples.

* ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' has a variation on Type C with a radio-controlled plane instead of a ball. Bart (although it was technically Nelson and Milhouse who crashed in) goes to get it and gets caught, setting off the episode's A plot of {{spoiler|[[It Makes Sense in Context|Bart working in a burlesque house]]}}).

* ''[[My Life As a Teenage Robot (Animation)|My Life Asas a Teenage Robot]]'' begins this way, as does the original pilot, "My Neighbor Is A Teenage Robot".

* ''[[Johnny Test (Animation)|Johnny Test]]'' goes through all of these variants when he accidentally ticks off the [[Crazy Cat Lady|crazy cat owner]] in one episode, and goes through a variety of completely pointless and ever more complex plots trying to get the ball back. Turns out all the man wanted was an apology, for the kids to turn the baseball diamond around, and to join in with the kids. Of course, when the diamond is turned around, the first thing that happens is the ball goes through a window of Johnny's house, prompting the only form of this trope that hadn't been seen up to that point (Type B).

* On ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'' Chris breaks [[Shotacon|Herbert's]] window playing baseball in the streets.
