The sad fate of many a [[Mook]]...mostly because [[Rule of Cool|it looks really cool]]. A sufficiently [[Badass]] characters punches, throws, or in any other way applies the force necessary in order to toss someone else through a window. A loud clangy window with shards rippling everywhere.

== Anime and Manga ==
* A small (almost human sized) titan is kicked out a window in episode 4 of season 2 of [[Attack on Titan]].
Line 33:
== Comic Books ==
* The [[DC Universe]] has Defenestrator, a loony superhero armed with a window frame. He throws criminals through it.
* Bane does this to hilarious effect in ''[[Secret Six]]'' #9: He gets a hold of a mook and is about to execute his Signature Move when the mook pleads with him "''Don't crack my spine!''" Bane, out of respect "for the man this city belonged to" - {{spoiler|Batman}} - chucks him out the high-rise window instead.
* In one issue of ''[[The Punisher]]'', a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] presses Frank's [[Berserk Button]] by dealing in slave trade. When he confronts her in her office he tries to throw her out the window but it turns out to be reinforced glass. So he slams her repeatedly against it until the window frame breaks.
** He ''knew'' it was reinforced glass. It's just that he's [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|The Punisher]] and that she was a [[Complete Monster]].
* The events of ''[[Watchmen]]'' are set off by somebody throwing The Comedian out a window. The rest of the plot follows up on the "why".
Line 53:
 
== Film - Animated ==
* Early on in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'', this is the fate of an elderly man who [[Musicalis Interruptus|accidentally interrupts]] Emperor Kuzco's dance routine. Other [[Rule of Funny]] [[Anachronism Stew]] notwithstanding, this takes place before glass windows were invented, so there was no glass to break, and the old guy lands and gets tangled up in some banners. At the end of the film, when Kuzco ([[Character Development|now much less of a jerk]]) apologizes, the old man responds with the page-quote above.
* During the climax of ''[[WALL-E]]'', just right before Captain McCrea finally shuts down [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|AUTO]] for good, he actually punches [[The Dragon|GO-4]] out of the cockpit window, causing him to get smashed to pieces upon hitting the floor just below it.
* Stitch actually throws Jumba out of a window near the end of ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'' just right before hitting him with a VW Beetle.
