Line 5:
A comedy trope, whether because of a natural disaster, super heroics, or stranger shenanigans a family has had their home partially carved out and exposed, and is forced to live that way for at least a scene or two.
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 17:
* In ''The King of the Golden River'', Gluck is nice to the odd man who visits them but his brothers are rude to him, so the odd man returns that night in his true form (the North Wind or something) and destroys the roof to the brothers' room (in a rainstorm no less), forcing them to bunk in Gluck's bed. (I wonder whether this was really such a great favor to Gluck.)
* A running gag in the ''[[Lethal Weapon (Film)|Lethal Weapon]]'' movies, as Murtaugh's house got partly blown up by an exploding toilet in the first, and in [[Lethal Weapon 2|the second]], several scenes showcase the resulting renovation.
* In the end of ''[[Mars Attacks (Film)]]!'', the boxer's family had their apartment building partially destroyed, but otherwise still standing.
* Happens to the lead character, Harold, in ''[[Stranger Than Fiction]]''.
* G-Girl crashes through her ex's penthouse roof on a couple of occasions in ''My Super Ex-Girlfriend''.
