Line 12:

Finally, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|something considerably smaller compared to what came before]] (such as a man on a tricycle or an old lady with a cane) runs the [[MacGuffin]] over one last time just to sprinkle one last pinch of salt in the emotional wounds.

[[Crush Parade]] is essentially an [[Exaggerated Trope|exaggerated]] form of [[Squashed Flat]] where an item that's either highly valued or greatly needed by a character that winds up falling into a street to be predictably crushed and flattened is [[Played for Laughs]] in an over-the-top, absurdly comedic fashion, usually at the expense of [[The Woobie]] or The [[Chew Toy]].

'''Crush Parade''' is essentially an [[Exaggerated Trope|exaggerated]] form of [[Squashed Flat]] where an item that's either highly valued or greatly needed by a character that winds up falling into a street to be predictably crushed and flattened is [[Played for Laughs]] in an over-the-top, absurdly comedic fashion, usually at the expense of [[The Woobie]] or The [[Chew Toy]].

When this happens to actual characters, this can be a more literal form of a [[Humiliation Conga]] or a variant of [[Rasputinian Death]].

Fortunately (from their point of view), that only breaks the screen. Unfortunately, what's left promptly gets trodden on by two different people, and shatters into a dozen fragments.
