Line 51:
== Films ==
* ''[[Battle Royale]]'' takes place during an extended class trip on an island... where the students literally have to kill each other.
* ''Learning Curve'' likewise has a group of incredibly badly-behaved kids duped into thinking they're going on special dream internships for the summer... {{spoiler|actually they're drugged, kidnapped, and imprisoned by a fed-up substitute teacher who tortures them into model students}}.
* ''Picnic at Hanging Rock''.
Line 58:
== Literature ==
* Every book in ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'' series (as well as every episode of the animated series) revolves around a class trip. And with Miss Frizzle and the titular school bus, these trips are educational, but far from boring, taking the kids to prehistoric times, to the depths of space or [[Fantastic Voyage|into a classmate's body]].
* [[Percy Jackson and The Olympians|The Percy Jackson series]] starts off with one of these. The trip is somewhat cut short when Percy's math teacher turns into a horrible monster, tries to kill him, is vaporised, and seems to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|disappear from everyone's memories]].
* [[Time Scout]] takes these up to eleven, where a field trip involves going to [[Victorian London]] or [[Ancient Rome]]. When something goes wrong on those field trips, it's ''very'' wrong.
Line 68:
* An episode of ''Flash Forward'' shows the class on a trip to a national forest of some sort, with Tucker and Miles sneaking away.
* Subverted in ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]'' as one of the whole episodes was involved with the characters dealing with others hidden sides while ON the school bus to the destination.
* An early episode of ''[[The Steve Harvey Show]]'' subverts this somewhat as Steve's class is at the airport waiting to board a plane to Cleveland to visit The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The flight is delayed because of snow. [[Hilarity Ensues]] with Bullethead making prank announcements on the courtesy phone among other things. They even meet Jerry Springer.
* Season 2 of ''[[The Inbetweeners]]'' opens with one to Swanage. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* Episodes 33-34 of ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze]]''.
Line 89:
== Western Animation ==
* As mentioned in the literature section, the entire premise of ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'' is going on some sort of field trip. The trips usually start out mundane, but [[Cool Teacher|Ms Frizzle]] and [[Cool Car|the Bus]] end up making them pretty [[Fantastic Voyage|crazy]].
* ''[[Fillmore!]]!'' has an episode where Fillmore, Ingrid and O'Farrell go on a class trip with an assortment of other one-episode characters. They go to a museum and when a picture is defaced, Fillmore and Ingrid must find out who the perpetrator is before the ink dries.
* ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' had at least two field trip episodes during its run, both of which resulted in ''near-complete chaos''.
* ''[[Daria]]'' goes on field trips thrice, first to the Mall of the Millennium for economics, though it's implied the teacher only wants to go because of the opportunity to find her Beanie Baby-esque collectibles, and in a later season, the students go to play paintball with Mr. DeMartino in order to "learn the effects of '''''warfare''''' on all aspects of society." Following that, the students went mountain climbing with disastrous results.
* In the ''[[Invader Zim]]'' episode "A Room with a Moose", Zim uses a fake class trip to send his classmates to their doom.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had one episode in which Bart's class went on a trip to a box factory. On the way they pass these other school busses outside of better places (if I remember right, one was even outside a toy factory). There was another episode where the class went to the Post Office, which was less mundane for the characters.
Line 101:
** It was a Senior Trip, with the original destination supposed to be the beach for a weekend of fun in the sun. Instead, they wound up in a Colonial Reenactment town, and were forced to take part. And then they fought pirates. So much for that vacation.
* ''[[Recess]]'' did this a few times. One instance that sticks outis where the Class is headed to an [[Expy]] of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, and the Bus breaks down. The rest of the Episode is spent with the teacher helping the bus driver grieve while the kids trick out the bus. If memory serves, the Class never actually made it to wherever they were going, as the episode ended on the road. {{spoiler|With TJ riding a Recliner on the Roof of the bus.}}
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' has one class trip to the Axiom Lab at the beginning where we're treated to chaos from the [[Monster of the Week]] and a super computer that is relevant to the overall plot.
* In an episode of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', Harold and Helga get left behind after a trip to a chocolate factory. They then spent the entire afternoon trying to get home.
* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' episode "The Lake". XANA choosing this time to attack is sure to make a class trip less boring and a lot more dangerous.
** Also, in the episode "Lyoko Minus One", Yumi's science class went on a class trip. Of course, XANA attacked, and Yumi ended up fighting off her entire class, but in the end, the class still got a chance to study plants.
