Only a handful of comedians can ''successfully'' pull off a full-fledged [[Face Fault]] in live action performance; notable examples include [[Jim Carrey]], [[Steve Martin]], [[Dick Van Dyke]], and [[Chevy Chase]]. Live action performers are more likely to do [[The Pratfall]] instead, which is a similar comedic trick but leaves the character on his rump.

This latter name is followed by an overhead view of Sae's, Miyako's, and Yuno's legs as they've suddenly lain down in reaction to it.

* ''[[Shin Chan]]'', usually thanks to something stupid Shin has said or done:
