''But Argo doesn't want us anymore ..."''|Leslie Fish & the Dehorn Crew, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}a7mK79i0tF8 "Banned from Argo"]}}
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
Whatever happened, when it's all over, you're not allowed back. '''EVER'''. Nor is anyone else on your crew.

** 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 43:
== Film ==
* In [[Casino]] Nicky gets his name in a ''Black Book'' and is banned from the casinos ''because of notorious and unsavory reputation''. [[Cassandra Truth|Sam warns him beforehand]] but Nicky mocks the issue as the book only has two names and one of them still is [[Al Capone]] and continues to generate waves. Then he laments, as the ban hurts his operations.
* After the massive battle that spanned half of Paris in ''[[G.I. Joe:
* ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'': Ulysses should have stayed out of the Woolsworth [sic].
** Is that ''all'' Woolworths, or just that particular one?

* 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!"
Line 56:
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Tooth and Claw", the Doctor and Rose are banned from Great Britain by [[Queen Vicky|Queen Victoria]]. Not that he cares.
* 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
* ''[[Lie to Me (TV series)|Lie to Me]]'': As "Fold Equity" tells us, Cal Lightman has been banned from the entire city of Las Vegas after hustling one too many people at poker and [[Noodle Incident|something involving casino owner Ellis's wife]].
* Newark, NJ mayor Cory Booker put Conan O'Brien on the "No Fly List" after Conan made a disparaging joke about his city. Conan soon after banned Cory from Burbank Airport, to which Cory retaliated by banning Conan from the entire state of New Jersey, as well as Newark's sister cities around the world. Conan subsequently banned Cory from California. Of course, as later revealed, this was all staged.
* The humorous introductions given for [[Top Gear|The Stig]] often mention him being banned from some location or event.
Line 72:
** Subverted with Elvis Costello, who was initially banned for playing "Radio Radio" (a song critical of the music publishing establishment, of which NBC certainly was), instead of the planned "Less than Zero" on the season three episode hosted by Miskell Spillman (an elderly woman who [[Contest Winner Cameo|won]] ''SNL'''s "Anyone Can Host" contest). He eventually returned to the show in 1987 (appearing on the episode hosted by Mary Tyler Moore), and eventually took part in the show's 25th anniversary celebration by recreating his song switch.
* In the first season of ''[[Heroes]]'', Ando and Hiro are banned from all of Mr. Linderman's casinos after they abuse Hiro's powers to cheat at poker. This becomes a problem later in the series, when they need to get back into one of the casinos in order to steal an ancient [[Samurai]] sword in Mr. Linderman's collection.
* In an episode of ''[[
** 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:

* In ''[[Discworld
** The Nac Mac Feegle was banished for rebelling against the tyranny of the [[The Fair Folk|Fairy Queen]], [[Violent Glaswegian|and NOT for being]] [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|completely smashed at four in the afternoon.]] They'll fight any lying scunner who says otherwise.
* 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.
Line 103:
* 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.

** [[The Who]] at one time held the record for this, thanks to the antics of the late Keith Moon.
** Taken to the extreme by [[Industrial|Power Electronics]] group Whitehouse, who would [[Blatant Lies|routinely bill themselves as a "synth-pop" band]] in order to get gigs, often provoking the baffled audience to riot or simply leave.
** [[The World Inferno Friendship Society|The World/Inferno Friendship Society]] won't have a chance to play at Cha-Cha's of Coney Island again, after what happened at [[Noodle Incident|that one show in 2007]].<ref> Supposedly Cha-Cha's even calls other venues the band is playing at to try and warn the owners to cancel the show.</ref> Prior to 2003 the band was also banned from a few venues that they'd actually [[Impressive Pyrotechnics|set on fire]].

* In the [[Filk Song]] ''Banned From Argo'', the former [[Trope Namer]] which provides the page quote, the crew of a [[Star Trek|Starfleet]] vessel heavily implied to be the ''Enterprise'' causes mayhem on the eponymous shore leave planet until they get kicked out.
** Ironically, the song itself became so over-used that [[Hype Backlash|it got banned from several SF conventions]].
Line 128:
* In the first ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' game, if you end up killing an important fish on Mannan, the planetary authorities ban you from ever coming back.
** You ''can'' blackmail the authorities and force them to let you return, which is perfectly in line with the previous evil action.

* The conclusion of ''[[Tony Hawk Pro Skater|Tony Hawk Underground 2]]''- subtitled "World Destruction Tour" - is a news report, which concludes with:
{{quote| '''[[Punny Name|Hugh Jass]]''': And finally, Tony Hawk and Bam Margera, the founders of the World Destruction Tour, have been officially banned from ever returning to [[Useful Notes/Boston|Boston]], Barcelona, Berlin, Australia, [[New Orleans]], and even [[Noodle Incident|Thailand]]. Upon hearing the news, Tony and Bam replied, "Hey, good call."}}
* 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.

* ''[[Triangle and Robert]]'' are [http://www.froup.com/tr/tr.pl?1653 banned from more of the country (essentially the USA) than actually exists], as they've been banned from some areas twice and one county that banned them no longer exists as a consequence of the event that caused the ban. They're essentially living where they are because [http://www.froup.com/tr/tr.pl?1654 the non industrial part of their city is the only place they can legally be in the entire country.]
* 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).

* 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.
Line 158:
* In every episode of the show, [[Timon and Pumbaa]] got thrown out of wherever they were. Timon even [[Lampshade Hanging|asks]] at one point "Why did you think it was a good idea to drag us around the world getting into trouble?"

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.
Line 190:
* At least one musician is banned for life from England's Channel 4 for saying "Fuck" before the [[Watershed]].
* For several years in the late 1980s, a [[Coast Guard]] cutter which shall remain nameless was banned from the port of Juneau, Alaska, until the crew (due to the usual billet changes and rotations) was almost entirely replaced. Upon its eventual return, Leslie Fish's filk song made the rounds of the enlisted decks.

* Kurt Waldheim was Secretary-General of the UN and then President of Austria. He was also maybe a [[Nazi Grandpa|former Nazi intelligence officer]]. The controversy got so bad that by the time he was President of Austria he was not allowed to enter the United States, or many European countries. Nobody ever found conclusive proof (and at least one author claimed he was framed by Mossad), so Waldheim was never prosecuted.
* [[Ozzy Osbourne]] was banned from entering San Antonio after he was caught urinating on the Alamo.
