Line 8:
''We took a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
''But Argo doesn't want us anymore ..."''
|Leslie Fish & the Dehorn Crew
You, possibly along with your [[True Companions|merry band of travelers]], have found a nice place to hang out. Maybe it's a nice bar, a seaside town, or a resort planet. But then...things happened. You may not have ''meant'' for bad stuff to go down, but sometimes events are beyond your control. There might have been [[Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen|nudity]], [[We Come in Peace, Shoot to Kill|violence]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|stuff]] [[Impressive Pyrotechnics|blowing]] [[A Nuclear Error|up]], [[Intoxication Ensues|certain]] [[Everybody Must Get Stoned|substances]] may have been imbibed/smoked, and whoops, you just started a revolution. Possibly, your name is [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds|Mike Nelson]], in which case, you're probably screwed.
Line 23:
** Other times, this can't happen as the place that would've banned them ''no longer exists''.
* Something like this happened to the original ''[[Macross]]''. A freak accident causes them to be banned from <s>Utah</s> <s>the USA</s> ''the Earth''. This is after they spend several episodes getting back to Earth ''[[Shaggy Dog Story|through the defense of the Zentraedi]]''.

Line 31 ⟶ 30:
'''Goth:''' "Because Beef-A-Roo won't let us gather there anymore?"
'''Walden:''' "APART FROM THAT!" }}
* [[Loki (comics)|Loki]] isn't allowed at the Bar With No Doors (a [[Good Guy Bar]] for those with magic-based super-powers) after an argument with Count Kaoz caused a brawl that wrecked the place.

== Fan Works ==
* In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5739975/1/A_Trail_a_Mile_Wide A Trail a Mile Wide]'', the crew of the [[Mass Effect|SSV ''Normandy'']] [[Mass Effect 2|SR2]] find themselves banned from a colony after [[What Did I Do Last Night?|a truly epic shore leave]]. The story itself heavily homages the Trope Naming song.
* In the ''[[Chuck]]'' story ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20121025130118/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5756619/1/What_Fates_Impose What Fates Impose]'', Sarah and Bryce mention that they've been banned from Paraguay for [[Noodle Incident|an incident involving a donkey]].
* In the ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6341291/1/Harveste Harveste]'' series (a [[Crossover]] between ''[[The Addams Family]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter]]'') , the Addamses are banned from Haiti and Indonesia. Gomez has been banned from Africa for an undetermined amount of time, but as of 1995, has at least ten years left on the ban. Grandmama is accepted as a witch doctor in five countries and banned from the rest of the world.
== Film ==
Line 51 ⟶ 46:
* Obliquely used in ''[[Return of the Living Dead]]'': "No, we can't: the cops said they'd ''shoot'' us if we go back to the park."
* In ''[[Little Miss Sunshine]]'', after the fiasco at the titular beauty pageant, the family is told that the pageant will not press charges, under the condition that Olive never enter another 'little miss' pageant in the state of California, ever again. The family's reaction to the news amounted to "That's fine with us!"
== Live-Action TV ==
* In an episode of ''[[Entourage]]'', Johnny Drama is banned forever from the Playboy Mansion, then he gets readmitted and gets someone else banned from the Playboy Mansion.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Tooth and Claw", the Doctor and Rose are banned from Great Britain by [[
* On ''[[Friends]]'', Ross recounts how he and his first wife Carol got banned from Disneyland for having sex behind the animatronic children on "It's a Small World".
* A popular bit of [[Fanon]] is that after the events of "Upgrades", ''[[Stargate SG-1|SG-1]]'' are banned from O'Malley's for the bar fight they started under the influence of [[Applied Phlebotinum]] armbands.
Line 82 ⟶ 76:
* Monk almost ends up this to the San Francisco Police Department in the two-part pilot episode of ''[[Monk]]'' due to Monk being forced to let Ian Sykes escape from the police due to a crippling fear of heights (ironically when attempting to stop him himself). Only reason he didn't is because Sharona got Burger to get the SFPD to listen to him again as part of a favor in exchange for getting her to resume working with Monk after he inadvertently ruined her date.
* On ''[[Two Broke Girls]]'' Caroline Channing is not welcomed at any society functions due to [[Sins of Our Fathers|her father cheating thousands of people out of their money]]. When she gets an invitation to a gala and decides to go, she is stopped at the entrance and it is made clear that even though she has a valid invitation she is not going to be let in. It does not help that while she is trying to clear this up, people who lost money in the [[Ponzi|Ponzi Scheme]] recognize her and start punching her.
* ''[[Married... with Children]]''; as related in "The Gas Station Show", the Bundys are not allowed at the zoo due to a previous incident where Budd fed a panda Pop Rocks ''and'' asked a female chimpanzee to the prom, Peg mooned the other chimpanzees, and Kelly pointed to a leopard and screamed "How many animals died for that coat?"
== Literature ==
Line 95 ⟶ 89:
''Some taverns to plunder, some guards to sunder,
''And then, a short rest in the jail! }}
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** In ''[[
** The Nac Mac Feegle was banished for rebelling against the tyranny of the [[The Fair Folk|Fairy Queen]], and [[Violent Glaswegian|
* In [[Simon R. Green]]'s ''For Heaven's Eyes Only'', Roger the half-demon claims he's been banned from Limbo.
* This has happened to a variety of CIA officers with diplomatic immunity who got caught spying in [[Tom Clancy]] novels. The consequences for officers or agents who ''don't'' have diplomatic immunity and get caught spying tend to be far more severe.
== Music ==
* In the late '80s and early '90s, various members of [[X Japan]] (and occasionally the entire band) were banned from various restaurants, hotels, bars, and drinking establishments around Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan, due to the band's tendencies to start [[Bar Brawl|fights]]. Some bars even had "No Yoshiki" or [[Visual Kei|"No Blondes"]] (since both Yoshiki and other VK rockers that tended to cause trouble had blonde hair) signs, and the band still holds the record [[For Massive Damage|for most damage done to a Japanese hotel]]. Not just the room, either. The hotel.
* At one time, it was almost a point of pride for many punk rock, heavy metal, and hard rock bands to get themselves banned from venues and hotels; typically after trashing their rooms or starting riots at the venues, but also for violating local obscenity laws. Several have been banned from performing in entire states or countries; usually on obscenity grounds.
** [[GWAR]] was at one time banned from the state of North Carolina, for certain... elements of their costuming.
Line 117 ⟶ 111:
** There's a sequel in which Argo forgives them, and invites the Next Generation crew to visit. They wind up getting banned themselves, and this time Argo learns its lesson and makes the ban permanent.

* Classic ''[[Traveller]]'' supplement ''The Traveller Adventure''. During the adventure "Pysadian Escapade" the
* In the ''[[Planescape]]'' setting, gods (including godlike beings like demon lords) are not allowed in Sigil by order of the Lady of Pain. Seeing as she controls the portals, and thus decides who can use them, this rule solidly enforced.
== Theatre ==
* In ''[[Mister Roberts]]'', it's understandable why the crew of the "Bucket" would not be allowed ashore on Elysium again, after hearing what they did while on liberty there.
* In ''Don't Drink the Water'' by [[Woody Allen]], the main character, Axel, is banned from Africa. He laments that while many diplomats have been banned from various countries, he's the only one to have ever been banned from a ''continent''.
== Video Games ==
Line 139 ⟶ 136:
* In ''[[Secret of Mana]]'', the hero gets banned from his hometown after pulling out the Mana Sword because the village elder fears that it will bring monsters to their village.
* In ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'', Fuka Kazamatsuri manages to get herself banned from [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven|Celestia]] forever for insulting Lady Archangel {{spoiler|Flonne}}.
== Web Comics ==
Line 147 ⟶ 143:
* In ''[[Slightly Damned]]'', [[Our Demons Are Different|Buwaro]] and [[Our Angels Are Different|Kieri]] can never go back to the town of Weyville. Not because they've been ''banned'', technically, but because it's home to a [[Knight Templar]] angel who'll kill them if he ever sees them again (and already tried to the first time he saw them).
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', John and Dad are banned from the Cirque du Soleil. It's implied that it has something to do with John's {{spoiler|Gamzee caused}} phobia of clowns.
== Web Original ==
Line 155 ⟶ 150:
{{quote|'''Strong Bad:''' So that's why I'm not allowed at the movies anymore.}}
* The Outcasts of ''[[Tasakeru]]'' are stripped of their citizenship and given a lifetime ban on setting foot inside their country's only city. Most of them have found ways of avoiding or ignoring the ban.
== Western Animation ==
Line 170 ⟶ 164:
** In the episode where Marge conquers her fear of flying, Homer Simpson ends up banned from Moe's Tavern for a prank he committed against Moe on Prank Day. Ironically, his prank (overloading the sugar container so it spills in a soggy manner) was actually safer than some of the pranks played that day, such as having a king cobra nearly bite Moe or causing a fire.
** The Simpsons were nearly banned from Springfield by the populace for some of the things they did.
** As seen in "Homer Versus Dignity", Mr. Costington isn't allowed on the third floor of his own store due to a "shoe sniffing problem" he has.
* In ''[[Rugrats in Paris]]'', one of Charles Finster's potential dates is said to not be allowed in the state of Kentucky.
* On ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'', Crocker can never go back to Cincinnati. [[Noodle Incident|For reasons unknown]].
Line 180 ⟶ 175:
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', after a trip to the bowling alley, as the Cutie Mark Crusaders leave, Scootaloo says that Mr. Kingpin will probably never let her back in the bowling alley again after making a gutter ball... on another lane. She seems oddly cheerful about it.
* In ''[[Family Guy]]'', Peter alludes to being banned from Sea World for something when he prepares to explain to Chris what a whale's blowhole is for (or more specificially, what a whale's blowhole is ''not'' for), but [[Noodle Incident|we never hear it]] due to the scene shifting. The closest to an explanation given is from Seth MacFarland's in-character commentary for the episode, where he, in Peter's voice, claimed that he basically had sex with a whale's blowhole.
* In the 2019 ''[[The Addams Family (2019 film)|The Addams Family]]'' Fester recites a very [[Long List]] of nations he isn't allowed to visit, which includes all of Europe, all of Asia, and most coastal nations in Africa, but he adds he ''is'' still allowed in Antarctica.
* ''[[Rick and Morty]]''; Rick is not allowed at Carl's Jr for unspoken reasons, though given Rick's past it's easy to make educated guesses here.
== Real Life ==
* This is essentially the idea behind most restraining orders, to keep someone away from someone or someplace after they do something bad to them.
* Michael Savage is [[Banned in China|banned from entering the UK]] for "inciting hatred" against Muslims.
* [[Charlie Chaplin]] was banned from the USA during the [[Red Scare]] and the McCarthy era, a situation that he parodied in ''A King in New York''. He was allowed back in with open arms in the early
* Fred Phelps is banned from several places, most notably the UK.
* Semi-related, but comedian [[Andrew Dice Clay]] is the only person to be banned from MTV.
** He was, apparently, unbanned at some point before [http://www.mtv.com/photos/vma-2011-backstage-moments/1669000/6498896/photo.jhtml attending the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards].
* At least one musician is banned for life from England's Channel 4 for saying "Fuck" before the [[Watershed]].
Line 207 ⟶ 203:
** This was called an ostracism, and there were [[Honor Before Reason|people]] who preferred death to being exiled from Athens, even if they had the chance to live elsewhere.
* Frequently happens on internet forums, for obvious reasons. Sometimes, the members who were banned make spin-off forums, as sort of a "refugee camp" for banned users so to speak.
* [[Conspiracy Theorist|Conspiracy theorist]] [[Alex Jones]] was permanently banished from most mainstream social media and internet services following complaints and defamation cases filed by relatives of mass shooting victims whom Jones and his followers launched harassment campaigns aimed to discredit them as so-called "crisis actors", as well as Jones inciting hatred and sowing discord against people of other ethnicities and beliefs. Facebook flagged Jones and his site under their "Dangerous individuals and organisations" blacklist, whilst Apple, YouTube, Spotify, Periscope, Roku, Vimeo and Twitter removed and permanently banned him and his content from being posted on their services. Online payment service PayPal wanted nothing to do with his business transactions either, and both the Apple App Store and Google Play removed the official InfoWars app from their stores, in the latter case only in March 2020 due to serious concerns about lies and misinformation being circulated about the [[COVID-19
* In 2017 [[Steven Seagal]] was banned from entering Ukraine as "a national security threat" (in reality obviously as a tantrum over Seagal being granted Russian citizenship). [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/05/steven-seagal-banned-ukraine-branded-national-security-threat/ News article here].
* There is a persistent [[Urban Legend]] that, because of a commercial she made for Burger King in 1981 when she was five, [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] was sued by and then banned for life from [[McDonald's]]. She did make [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ss7_5PSnyA the commercial] and she ''was'' a part of a lawsuit filed by McDonald's against Burger King (she was even put on the stand to testify about the things she said in the commercial). But she was never banned -- although her parents apparently avoided McDonald's for a few years after the lawsuit.
* Hate group leader [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke#2009_arrest_in_the_Czech_Republic David Duke] is not allowed in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. Initially, it was only Italy, having kicked him out for making Holocaust denial claims (a serious crime in most of Europe), but after he violated that order and was found living in Valle di Cadore, the rest of the European Union didn't want him there either.
* Being on the sex offender registry not only leaves a black mark on a person which they would very much find it hard to erase, it also effectively gives the person in question ''persona non grata'' status as they are no longer allowed to take up certain jobs, reside in places near schools or places of worship or be in close contact with minors. Controversies over its effectiveness have been discussed though, as some have argued that ''it created more problems'' than what they're supposed to address, like families of sex offenders [[Sins of Our Fathers|who are also affected]] even if they had nothing to do (or wanted nothing to do) with the offender's sexual deviancy, as well as the issue of offenders who end up as homeless bums due to lack of housing and job opportunities making them ''even more dangerous'' to children residing near the area.
* Following the 2021 United States Capitol Building riots, which was widely condemned as an act of domestic terrorism, rebellion and sedition, [[Donald Trump]] was either suspended or banned indefinitely from mainstream social media platforms for his incendiary comments condoning the riots and calling the supporters to "fight like hell" for Republicans to "take back our country". Twitter locked him out of his account for a period, while Facebook, Instagram and Twitch banned him permanently, with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg expressing disgust over Trump's statements. Twitter later announced that they have permanently banned Trump from using their services, and several others, namely Snapchat and Shopify, followed suit as they saw Trump and his supporters' posts and media as inciting to sedition and rebellion. Besides social media sites, large banks, the PGA, and other private companies quickly and publicly started having nothing to do with him.

* Noted Filipino boxer [[Manny Pacquiao]] was banned from entering The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles due to a controversial statement he made in regards to same-sex marriage, which was met with outrage both from Filipino and foreign LGBTQ+ communities. It didn't help that he had just converted to evangelical Christianity at the time, leading to him being branded as a fundamentalist as a result of the ordeal.
* The Church of Scientology [https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/09/24/russia-bans-church-of-scientology-with-undesirable-tag-a75142 is not allowed to operate in Russia]; their government calls it a [[Scam Religion]].
* During the 94th [[Academy Award]]s, [[Will Smith]] slapped [[Chris Rock]] after the latter made a joke at the expense of Smith's wife [[Jada Pinkett Smith]] (Rock was unaware that Jada had alopecia, so it was partly his fault by his own admission). Not only did "The Slap" become a [[Fountain of Memes]] soon after it was broadcast, Will Smith was banned from attending the Oscars for a decade. Despite the altercation, Chris Rock declined to press charges against Smith even though it would technically count as assault under California law.
* Kazuhiko ‘Smokey’ Nagata of the Japanese car tuning shop [[Non-Indicative Name|Top Secret]] was invited by British automotive "lad mag" ''Max Power'' to bring his Nissan RB26-powered Toyota Supra to a car show in the UK. Seeking to leave a mark in the industry, Smokey performed an insane speed record stunt at an A1 highway, hitting a then-record breaking 197 miles per hour (317 kph). The local police were none too pleased about it, and Nagata was arrested for his antics (not helping matters was his lack of English skills). He was banned from entering the UK for a good decade soon after, but his stunt only served to made him a [[Refuge in Audacity|legend]] in the car tuning scene.
* Similar to the example with Russia above, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKCHu5d2J_A Norway no longer recognizes Jehova's Witness as a religion], meaning they no longer receive taxpayer funded subsidies and are not allowed to perform legal marriages.
