If someone is crushed by a large safe, you only need to open the safe, and he will be inside of it.
In most cases the open safe reveals a torn and bent "floor"
Mostly only used in comedy or [[The Golden Age of Animation|old cartoons]], although [[Superhero|Super Heroes]] with invulnerability powers may use it straight.

* On ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', when a safe (27-ton, in compliance with a [[False Reassurance|promise]] [[Exact Words|not to drop a 16-ton safe on him]]) is dropped on Roy for [[Disproportionate Retribution|squeezing toothpaste from the top of the tube]]. Not only was he inside, but he was able to open the safe door from there. (The previous two lessons, incidentally, were punctuated by a falling upright piano and a 1988 convertible. Like the safe, he popped through the bottoms of both.)
** When Roy buys a robot that's supposed to make it rain on command, it ends up making anything they say fall from the sky onto Roy, except actual rain. One thing it does this with? A safe. (When Roy used the word for its other definition.) Not only is he inside, but he's able to manipulate the combination lock. (Later, a house falls on him. He's pretty much dead center, yet Orson knows to open the mailbox out front. Indeed, he's inside.)
** When Garfield hears that it's Monday, his mind plays different scenarios as a horror movie trailer. In one scenario, he's smashed, bashed, and yes, even [[Pie in the Face|splutted]]; the bashing is done with an
* In ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'', Darkwing's breakfast [[Death Course]] causes his fridge to launch into the air and land on top of him if he forgets the milk. He ends up inside the fridge; [[Amusing Injuries|amusingly injured]], dazed, and holding a jug of milk.
* A ''[[Timon and Pumbaa]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqifngsT94U short in which Pumbaa suffers a run of bad luck] has this happening to
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3'', just right before they end up inside the dump, Buzz Lightyear winds up inside a television set after it falls on him. Fortunately the screen was already cracked, and the impact switched him from Spanish back to his normal self.
* One episode of ''[[Danger Mouse]]'' did this with ''The Statue of Liberty''.
* This happens to [[Popeye]] in "What, No Spinach?" He is unharmed, of course - Wimpy instigated cafe owner Bluto to use the safe as a weapon specifically so it would get opened and he could get to the stash of food inside.
