''But Argo doesn't want us anymore ..."''|Leslie Fish & the Dehorn Crew, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}a7mK79i0tF8 "Banned from Argo"]}}

 

* Recently in ''[[Knights of the Dinner Table]]'', Nitro Ferguson got banned from GaryCon after his D-Day game ran amok even more spectacularly than games in KoDT usually do.

* Happens far too often to [[LARP]] goth Walden Woods in ''[[Dork Tower]]''; ''something'' inevitably gets them banned from their latest gathering spot.

'''Walden:''' "APART FROM THAT!" }}

* Implied in the Halloween party arc in [[FoxTrot]] when Paige [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|stands up to two party crashers]] who were prepared to kill Peter for not having beer at the party:

'''Big Party Crasher:''' That might be tricky -- That place called the cops, too. }}

 

** Sam was banned from participating in beauty pageants for a number of years.

* As recounted in a retrospective episode, the [[Myth Busters]] are banned from Esparto, California after the finale of the "Knock Your Socks Off" myth, which involved (of course) setting off a huge explosion. The problem was that they underestimated just how big the shockwave would be, so it knocked people off sofas, broke windows, set off car alarms, and knocked down ceiling tiles in the town, and a news report erroneously made it sound like the Mythbusters had ''leveled the town''. As they put it:

** And after a freak accident in December 2011 where a cannonball got loose and proceeded to bounce around a nearby suburb (which caused a fair bit of property damage but luckily no injuries), the Mythbusters are no longer allowed to use the Alameda County Bomb Range.

* ''[[The Middle]]'': Mike is banned from Brick's school after his attempt to help at the Valentine's Day craft project ends up ruining Valentine's Day.

* In [[RA Salvatore]]'s novel ''Road of the Patriarch'' Jarlaxle and Artemis end up banned for life from the Bloodstone Lands. Jarlaxle points out that Elves live a long time and he'll probably outlive the ban. Artemis is not comforted by this, being a human, with the attendant shorter life span.

* Hrolf the Unruly, the captain of Elfmaid from ''[[Forgotten Realms|Starlight And Shadows]]'' trilogy by Elaine Cunningham got "a taste for recreational mayhem", which earned him ban from many ports and even imprisonment and confiscation in [[Wretched Hive|Skullport]], which is an achievement in itself. Where he was found under arrest, roaring a song:

And then, a short rest in the jail! }}

* In ''[[Discworld/Soul Music|Soul Music]]'', The Band With Rocks In is banished from every city they visit on their Sto Plains tour, on pain of pain and/or being buried alive.

* In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', Ange mentions briefly that [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Amakusa]] will get arrested if he's ever caught back in France.

* Max has something to brag about in the ''[[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'' game ''Moai Better Blues'':

* The conclusion of ''[[Tony Hawk Pro Skater|Tony Hawk Underground 2]]''- subtitled "World Destruction Tour" - is a news report, which concludes with:

* A variation in ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'': You can get yourself banned from gambling at every casino in the game if you win too much while gambling. You can still enter the casinos, but you can't gamble anymore.

* At the end of ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations]]'', Ezio is banned from Constantinople by {{spoiler|the new Sultan Selim, who notes that it's only because his son Suleiman speaks highly of him that he doesn't just execute him on the spot.}}

** Similarly, [[The Cinema Snob]] was banned from returning to Kickassia by the Critic, after he plotted to overthrow him.

* The [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad email]] "movies" ends with Strong Bad firing a bazooka in a theater out of frustration at the other patrons. Cut to him typing...

* 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.
