Bucket Booby Trap: Difference between revisions

** Considering Crowley's a demon too, it would be pretty stupid of him not to treat it like a bomb.

* ''[[Carpe Jugulum]]'' featured a Holy Water Bucket Booby Trap as well, this time used against vampires.

** In ''[[Sourcery]]'', a bucket of long dried-up whitewash is part of the not-exactly-a-[[Death Course]] created by a king with an odd sense of humour.

* In one of [[P. G. Wodehouse]]'s [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]] stories, Bertie Wooster was trying to help a friend gain confidence by seeing a bag of flour fall on the head of his boss. Jeeves came up with a much better solution, but Bertie forgot to take the bag of flour down, and [[Powder Gag|wound up covered in the stuff]].

* Done fairly horrifically in ''[[Monkey Dust]]''. Noodles, a Bugs Bunny-esque cartoon rabbit, takes revenge on the scientists who perform experiments on him by propping an anvil on a door. Needless to say, the scientist doesn't spring back into shape two seconds later.

* In an episode of ''[[Garfield and Friends|U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm]]'', Roy rigs his coop door with a bucket so that when Orson walks through the door, "the bucket will fall, and WHAMMO! Drenched porker." He also intends to follow up with super-hot tabasco-flavored gum, which will come back to bite him later, but for now, Orson opens the door, and the bucket ''doesn't'' fall, despite its precarious motion. Roy offers the gum; Orson accepts but doesn't chew it. After a discussion involving adding a link to the goody-go-round, Orson closes the door. The rule of comedic timing in full effect, the bucket falls while Roy ponders the failure of his two tricks, not soaking him until he's trying to remember what the second one was.
