Line 5:
''[a guy falls from the rafters into the orchestra]''
'''Rocko Dillon:''' Well... from now on!
|''[[The Naked Gun
You know how you shouldn't screw around with guns because they're dangerous? Well, the normal rules don't apply when it comes to [[Rule of Funny|comedy]]. Whether it's the [[The Simpsons (animation)|police chief]] [[Artistic License Gun Safety|eating donuts off his gun barrel]] or [[Reckless Gun Usage|some clown]] juggling loaded guns, the normal rules of safety don't apply.
Line 52:
* ''[[The A-Team (film)|The a Team]]'': When two CIA agents attempt to off Pike in the back of the car and lampshaded by the target himself. In fact, Pike begs Lynch not to let that guy shoot him because that'd just be embarrassing. The agent to his left seemed to suck at gun safety and was stupidly putting a <s>silencer</s> suppressor on his pistol. He then proceeds to aim it at Pike such that it'll more likely kill the agent on the right than the target. Pike overpowers him and hands his gun to the agent on the right, hoping that this one isn't as much of a complete imbecile. Sadly, that agent then answers his cellphone, while also pressing the gun to his face. Not to mention that all this was happening in a moving vehicle.
* ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]'': B.O.B. is given a plasma gun by a clone, and the gun goes off in his hands and hits said clone. Later, Dr. Cockroach grabs the gun away, claiming that it should be in the hands of someone capable... and then the gun goes off in his hands and shoots another clone.

* In one of [[Larry Niven]]
▲* In one of [[Larry Niven]] 's Man-Kzin wars books, a human picks up a Kzinti energy rifle, smearing blood over the 'insufficient charge' light to hide it, and captures a Kzin. Having [[I Gave My Word|given his parole]], the [[Proud Warrior Race|Kzin]] asks about the rifle. The human says "It's not charged," and points it upward, pulling the trigger to demonstrate. As they watch the hut burn from outside, the Kzin [[Sarcasm Mode|mentions]] that there is a world of difference between ''insufficient'' charge and ''no'' charge.

Line 76 ⟶ 74:
* ''[[The Three Stooges]]'': short "Disorder in the Court" introduces a gun as evidence. Curly is told to try to pull the incredibly rusty trigger, after being told "[[Tempting Fate|Never fear, it's not loaded.]] After one harmless click, he then accidentally shoots off the prosecutor's toupee when his finger gets stuck in the trigger guard.
** ''Any'' time the Stooges or someone around them insisted a gun wasn't loaded, it was. In "Even as I.O.U." Curly gives a baby a pacifier. When Moe sees that it's a revolver, he reaches in to get it, but is stopped by Larry, who warns that the kid might pull the trigger. Curly insists it isn't loaded, and seeks to prove it...by cocking the hammer and thoughtlessly discharging it in an enclosed space. Pretty much every rule of gun safety is blithely disregarded.
* ''[[SCTV]]'': In a parody of ''[[Captain Kangaroo]]'' called "Captain Combat", Gunny Rabbit is shot by an accidental discharge. (Captain Combat's lesson to the kiddies at the end of the sketch: [[Spoof Aesop|"Never be in a room with a loaded gun unless you're holding it."]])
* ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'': Chubby carries a loaded pistol and an identical looking water pistol filled with vodka that he uses to freshen patrons drinks (and occasionally squirts directly into mouth). He is shown shooting at least one patron's glass and (between episodes) the inevitable happens and he shoots himself in the head.
* ''[[Modern Family]]'': When the families go to a dude ranch, the guys try skeet shooting, and Mitchell sends the others diving for cover when he absent-mindedly turns towards them while holding his rifle.
