Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:Wild teen party.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\|''Went to a party, I danced all night'' ''I drank sixteen beers and I started up a fight'' ''But now I'm jaded, you're out of luck'' ''I'm rolling down the stairs, too drunk to fuck''~~\|'''[[Dead Kennedys]]''', "Too Drunk to Fuck"}}~~ \|'''[[Dead Kennedys]]''', "Too Drunk to Fuck"}} Par-tay! Par-tay! Par-tay! Line 11 ⟶ 13: A popular variation of this is that the host only invited over two or three friends and the party just shows up out of nowhere. Someone they did invite brought one more person, and so did another. Then someone they never met shows up at the door. Fast forward ten minutes and a college football team shows up with a keg and there's somehow full disco lighting in the living room. [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin'\|The host will still get in trouble for this]], and the show may still [[Broken Aesop\|play it as an Aesop.]] Another variation is when two teens live in the same house, and one plans a party without consulting the other, who has to study for a test or do something else where peace and quiet is necessary. The second teen usually will not find out until they come home to see the party already underway. The [['''Wild Teen Party]]''' usually experiences at least one, and often more, of the following complications: * The parents call home in the middle of the party "to check on things". The teen hosts must then either quiet the crowd down for the duration of the call, or come up with a believable explanation for the noise in the background. Even if the teens succeed in pulling off a perfect deception, the parents [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin'\|may still become uneasy]] and cut short their time away from home. * Party crashers of various stripes. If it's not the varsity football team and their entourage descending on a party to which they weren't invited, it'll be punks or bikers running wild, trashing the place and carrying off cheerleaders. * ~~Stupid -- and~~Stupid—and potentially ~~lethal -- stunts~~lethal—stunts fueled by [[Alcohol-Induced Idiocy\|the excessive consumption of beer and other alcoholic beverages.]] * A fistfight, which sometimes escalates into a full brawl. If there's a picture window, someone will almost certainly go through it. A rare family keepsake like an urn, or better yet, one containing Grandma's ashes, will be stolen, destroyed or used to mix cocktails. * A fire, flood or other disaster. * If the party is wild enough, the police will show up to shut it ~~down -- usually~~down—usually just minutes before the parents return. * If the party is even wilder than that, a film crew will come to tape it for a TV special. * A character gets incredibly drunk with bad results. Usually a character who doesn't normally drink, but is pressured into it/doesn't realize the drinks are spiked, to give the [[An Aesop\|Aesop]] [[Anvilicious\|more impact]]. Line 27 ⟶ 29: * The parents come home unexpectedly while the party is in full swing. After a [[Record Needle Scratch]] and a lot of yelling, the crowd (mostly) disperses, leaving behind the unconscious, the belligerent, and the teen hosts, who then get reamed out by their parents and grounded until they're collecting Social Security. However it runs, with whatever complications and ending, the [['''Wild Teen Party]]''' usually ends in [[An Aesop]] about responsibility, maturity, ~~and -- if~~and—if the hosts were ~~caught -- telling~~caught—telling the truth to one's parents. See also [[Youth Is Wasted on the Dumb]] (which may occur at this), [[A Party - Also Known as an Orgy]]. Take note that it doesn't necessarily have to deal with teenagers, but they are the most common occurances of the trope. Line 34 ⟶ 36: {{examples}} == Advertising == * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dydOm225374 A commercial for Sabra Hummus] broadcast in late 2009 ~~plays~~played with this trope. A couple share some hummus on their patio while watching a sunset, and comment on how it's just like they're on a Mediterranean vacation. A moment later a bowling ball crashes through the french doors behind them, and they discover a Wild Teen Party has broken out because their son thought they were "on a Mediterranean vacation". * In a Canadian tire commercial,{{verify\|reason=A tire commercial that happened to be Canadian, or a commercial for the Canadian Tire chain?}} a teenager, cleaning up the mess after one of these, says, "[[Insistent Terminology\|It was a get-together!]]" The scene cuts to exterior shot of the house. Loud music, strobe lights playing on windows, couch sitting on lawn, dog barking in the background, kids yelling and laughing, sound of glass shattering, etc. == Anime and Manga == * In ''[[Infinite Ryvius]]'', the crew decides to throw a party to relieve tension after a battle. It features a beauty contest and a competition to program the [[Humongous Mecha]] to dance. It ends rather poorly, though, being interrupted by {{spoiler\|a news report declaring the ''Ryvius'' to be a terrorist vessel. Also, two people get murdered while everyone's distracted.}} * In ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation: Divine Wars]],'' the crew was celebrating after the defeat of the [[Big Bad]]. What was supposed to be a standard party was made a bit more entertaining with Excellen and Lefina in [[Playboy Bunny]] outfits and Daitestsu's stash. * There are a few parties in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', but the only one that really fits this trope is one that the Motor Club spontaneously decides to have in Keiichi's house without his permission in order to get him to loosen up -- [[Comically Missing the Point\|when the reason he's a little stressed at the time is that he was trying to prepare for a major test that he had to take the following morning]]. == Comic Books == * In the ''[[Tom Strong]]'' comic, Tesla Strong and Solomon the Gorilla try explaining to Tesla's parents that the devastated house (including a small jet aircraft in the living room) was actually the result of ''a super-villain turning the entire city upside-down''. They don't buy it, so Tesla grudgingly admits to throwing a party. * Parodied in an issue of ''[[Ultimate Universe\|Ultimate]] [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)\|Spider-Man]]'', in which Gwen persuades a moping Peter (who has recently broken up with Mary Jane) to go to a party under the pretext that it'll turn into one of these and be fun. They end up sitting in a corner, bored and miserable, whilst everyone around them has a really good time. Then the party really does turn wild, but that's more because a teen mutant starts blowing up cars with his mind and the cops get called than any of the standard reasons. * A mid-70s issue of ''[[Playboy]]'' had a ''[[The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers]]'' flashback story of a 1959 New Years party thrown at Phineas' parents' house, over his objections. Mom and Pop get home to find the place destroyed and their new car totalled. Line 58: * ''[[Brick]]'' subverts the wild teen party in that there is a party, there are teens, and there is underage smoking and drinking, but the atmosphere is calm and subdued in keeping with the 1940s noir theme. * Though not involving teens, the ''next'' most ultimate wild teen party would be the toga party from ''[[Animal House]].'' * The movie ''[[Risky Business]]'' had a [[Wild Teen Party]] that was also the front for a (temporary) brothel. Joel gets away with it except for {{spoiler\|his mother scolding him over a tiny crack in her crystal egg}}. Furthermore, during the party {{spoiler\|a Princeton admissions officer drops by to interview Joel, and the prostitutes show him such a good time that he readily accepts Joel's application}}. * ''[[Sixteen Candles]]'', like nearly every other "brat pack" movie, has one of these. * Almost the entire film of ''Can't Hardly Wait'' was set at a party, with only brief scenes set elsewhere. Line 80: * Used in the 2005 remake of ''[[Yours Mine And Ours\|Yours, Mine, and Ours]]'', as part of the kids' plot to break their parents up. * The fire department is called on the wild teen party in ''[[ATL]].'' * Subverted in ''[[Dazed and Confused]]'', when Kevin Pickford's plans are upset by the keg delivery guy showing up prematurely. Kevin's attempts at [[Blatant Lies\|explaining it away]] does not convince his parents, who decide not to go on their vacation after all. There is still a [[Wild Teen Party]]; but it happens out in the woods, away from houses and parents. * A rare non-American example can be seen in ''[http://www.neuillysamere-lefilm.com/ Neuilly sa mere]''. [[Token Minority\|Young Arab]] Sami has to live with his aunt, her French husband, and his French children, in Neuilly (President Sarkozy's place of birth). Near the end, Sami's cousin Charles organizes a party where there is a argument, trouble-makers arrive (and break everything), and then the parents return earlier than expected. * ''[[All the Boys Love Mandy Lane]]'', in a minor subversion, manages to do this with only six people at the party, [[Final Girl\|one of whom]] isn't even really engaging in the festivities. Line 87: * The beach party, I mean orgy, at the end of ''[[Psycho Beach Party]]'', a yearly event that Chicklet sneaks out to, even though there's a murderer around. * The film adaptation of ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]]: Roderick Rules'' depicts Roderick's party on-screen, instead of leaving it to the reader and Greg's imagination. The family film is forced to water the teen party down to slightly loud music and a guy who eats whipped cream from the can. They do make the impressive mess as they did in the book. * ''[[Project X]]'' is literally [[Wild Teen Party]]: The Movie. Line 96: * In ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]] #2: Rodrick Rules'' the main character Gregory's older brother Rodrick throws one of these when their parents leave. However, Gregory is locked in the basement. When he wakes up and comes out the next morning, the house is in disarray. They end up even having to replace the bathroom door because someone drunkenly drew on it in permanent marker. Rodrick is found out a couple weeks later because someone accidentally took a picture with the family's camera. * ''[[Mansfield Park]]'': The young-adult Bertram siblings throw the [[Regency England]] equivalency of this by putting on a scandalous play with their friends (which involves extensive construction to the house, including ''their father's bedroom'') while their father's away on a business trip. Edmund warning Tom that the changes to the house and expenses are going to get them in trouble, everyone's panic when Sir Thomas returns home completely unexpectedly, and the subsequent terror as he walks into the billiard room still unaware of the chaos he's about to see uncannily parallel the reactions of modern teenagers caught throwing a Wild Teen Party. * Samantha and {{spoiler\|Juliet}}'s deaths are both accidentally caused by Kent's [[Wild Teen Party]] in ''[[Before I Fall]]''. * ''The Basic Eight'': The narrator of Daniel Handler's first novel for grown-ups commits {{spoiler\|Murder By Croquet Mallet}} at a booze-fueled party on Halloween. * Joseph Moncure March's 1928 poem ''[[The Wild Party]]'' centers around one of these. Line 103: == Live-Action TV == * ''[[That '70s Show]]'' had a few of these, particularly in the earlier seasons, including a kegger in the pool of an empty house and a "the parents are out of town" party at Donna's. * ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': "Dead Man's Party", in which Buffy's out-of-control welcome back party gets crashed by zombies. It's played with; the party was originally, as Giles planned it, just going to be a quiet affair to welcome Buffy home, but her friends overrule him and turn it in to one of these; ostensibly because they think it's going to be more fun, but ''actually'' because there's all sorts of tensions surround why Buffy left which, now she's back, they're all avoiding dealing ~~with -- having~~with—having the huge party is just an excuse to avoid her as much as possible while 'welcoming' her back. Needless to say, it gets ugly even ''before'' the zombies show up. * ''[[Degrassi]]'' has had several. The third season episode "Our House" has a crisis which completes Sean's [[Heel Face Turn]]. The sixth season episode "Rock This Town," in a reversal, has the wild party at Emma's house, at Manny's ~~urging -- but~~urging—but when the wild party starts, Manny is the one trying to keep order while Emma gets drunk and lets things rot. And it ends with the king of disasters: {{spoiler\|One of the party-crashers ''murders'' a teen on impulse.}} * The original ''[[Degrassi Junior High]]'' had several of these as well and almost all of them were at Lucy's house. Emma Nelson (of ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]'') was actually conceived at one of these parties. * ''[[Married... with Children]]'' In one episode, the party got so out of control that a TV reporter announces that authorities have resorted to starting "back parties" to try to contain it. "My Dinner With [[Anthrax]]": Only eight people attended (the band, Bud/Kelly/Marcy), supposedly only lasted one song, but utterly trashed the downstairs. * ''[[Smallville]]'': Clark Kent accidentally hosted, and managed to clean the entire trashed house in a few seconds with his [[Super Speed]] ~~-- only~~—only to find his parents standing in the door applauding before explaining they called four times last night, and none of the four people who answered even knew a Clark Kent. * ''[[Joan of Arcadia]]'' has God Himself request the party (but veto alcohol). The parents never find out, but the cops came by to shut everything down, much to Joan's relief. This ended up saving the lives of the police officers by {{spoiler\|preventing them from being at a meth lab when it exploded.}} * Kevin in ''[[The Wonder Years]]'' throws a party that gets crashed (apparently by just about every partier in town and then some) and he can't even clean up a fraction of the mess by the time his parents return home. {{spoiler\|In a twist, he tries to fess up to them, but neither parent believes that straitlaced Kevin would do such a thing. Instead, they punish Kevin's older slacker brother Wayne whom they assume has bullied Kevin into taking the heat. ''And Wayne accepts it.''}} * ''[[Skins]]'' is particularly known for these, to the point where [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skins+party "Skins party"] has entered the slang lexicon. There is one in just about every episode - either that, or the characters will wake up to the aftermath of one (as happens at the beginning of Cassie's S1 episode). * The second episode of ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' features a [[Wild Teen Party]]. In an odd twist of the "getting increasingly drunk" requirement, the booze at the party has been secretly switched with "near beer" by the worried younger brother of the girl throwing the ~~party -- but~~party—but everyone still ''acts'' drunk. As it's also a parody of the over-the-top Anvilicious "[[Can't Get Away with Nuthin'\|if you drink you'll]] '''''[[Can't Get Away with Nuthin'\|die]]!!!'''''" messages that kids are generally bombarded with in these episodes, the episode also subverts most of the traditional Wild Teen Party ~~elements -- nothing~~elements—nothing gets broken, the parents don't come home (and, so far as we know, never even find out about it), the house doesn't look ''that'' blitzed afterwards (at least, no more than you'd expect after a party), a wild fight ''looks'' like it's going to break out but cooler heads manage to prevail, nothing particularly bad happens to the 'drunk' kids and the cops are only called because the hostess secretly wants the party to end but doesn't want to look like a party pooper in front of her friends, so one of her brother's friends agrees to do it for her. * The ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' episode "Reese's Party" has Reese mentioning this trope, and giving a foolproof plan to avoid it: host the party on a ''Friday'' night, not Saturday. Unfortunately, the party is crashed by a bunch of guys who turn the garage into a meth lab. ** Subverted on ''Home Alone 4,'' where Francis tells his three hoodlum friends not to have a party at his house. They keep their promise, but still trash the house because the trio is so violent and destructive that they have the energy to trash the house in the same manner as a [[Wild Teen Party]]. * On ''[[The OC]]'', Ryan and Seth are subjected to Haley Nichol's New Year's Eve party, complete with skinnydipping and BYOB. ** The Cohen house is also overrun with male strippers (also Haley's fault) at Julie Cooper's bachelorette party. This time there's a catfight! Line 134: * In ''[[The Brothers Garcia]]'' when the parents go out to dinner, Larry and George decide to throw a party but nobody wants to come. Lorenna happens to have a popular guy over that night however so they tell all the girls in school and the wild party ensues. Things get pretty crazy with toilet paper being thrown around the house and the father's antique crystal plate getting smashed. They clean up before the parents get home, but end up confessing. Larry's narration says that they keep on confessing to other things they'd been hiding and the parents are so stunned by all this that they just ground the kids for one week and call it even. * ''[[S Club 7]]'' managed to pull this off when they were house sitting. Unfortunately for them the house is a mansion in LA and they can't even begin to clean up before the owner gets home. However the owner turns out to be a party man himself and continues the party through the day. * On a Halloween episode of ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)\|Home Improvement]]'', Brad's crazy friend Jason convinces him to throw one of these parties when Tim and Jill go out to an awards ceremony for local TV shows. In the middle of things, Brad goes out to the backyard fence to get advice from [[The Obi-Wan\|Wilson]], and that's when Tim and Jill walk in on the whole thing. * In ''[[Family Matters]],'' after Eddie invites a friend over while Carl and Harriet are away, a party erupts. Two rival football teams show up and argue. When they attempt to redo a disputed play from a past game a gravyboat goes through the window. There is mention of Jello in the bathtub, and Carl finds Urkel stuffed in the couch. * Jenny's birthday party-turned-rager in ''[[Gossip Girl]].'' Pictures are tilted, Lily van der Woodsen's clothes are worn by complete strangers, people try to have sex in the van der Woodsens' bedrooms. Not to mention Vanya (the van der Woodsens' doorman) has to fight back complete strangers from coming into the van der Woodsens' building and the police have to bring Rufus and Lily back to said building to stop the rager. Line 140: * Although technically not a Wild Teen Party, ''[[Even Stevens]]'' does have a similar issue where, while the parents had to leave the house for a bit, Louis actually uses the opportunity to use the house as a hotel as a fund-raiser for a ski trip. Louis (and eventually Ren, as soon as she finds out and ends up allowing it to happen due to a boy at the house) eventually ended up having to get the guests to leave early due to the parents coming home early (When the parents called to check up on Louis, one of the guests answered and, mistaking "Louis" for her husband rather than the guy actually running the hotel, responded that Louis broke his back [Beans had injured the other Louis earlier due to using boots to massage his back], and the woman mistook her for a woman that Louis may have actually been seeing while still married to her.). They would have gotten away with it, had one of the guests also not also happen to be one of San Fancisco's news anchors and more importantly reported on the "hotel" on the news the next morning with the parents watching. * Averted in ''[[The Inbetweeners]]''. The lads wind up at two house parties in total. The first one is rather lifeless and nothing really happens, bar Will hooking up with Charlotte (Will even refers to it as a shit party in the narration). The second is a birthday party that the lads gatecrash and, while it is busy, it's hardly wild especially as the boys simply stand around not talking to anyone. * ''[[Glee]]'': Rachel Berry attempts to have one. Needless to say, it fails ~~miserably-- until~~miserably—until they break out the alcohol, that is. * George in ''[[The George Lopez Show]]'' finds out Carmen is at one of these when she leaves her IM up on the computer. He goes over, ends the party and takes Carmen home. * ''[[Monk]]'': Line 163: * Aaron Carter's song/music video "Aaron's Party (Come and Get It)". * There was also such a wild party in the ten-year anniversary (1988) video for the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated." The party in question is apparently crashed by a ''circus''. * The video for ''[[Metallica]]'s'' cover of "[https://web.archive.org/web/20100206015452/http://vimeo.com/9128706 Whiskey in the Jar]" shows a few dozen Eighties heavy-metal girls trashing the ever-loving crap out of a [[San Francisco]] Victorian. * [[Katy Perry]]'s video for "Last Friday Night" had "The Best Party ever!" thrown by [[Friday\|Rebecca Black]] and attended by [[Glee\|Darren Criss, Kevin Mchale]] Hanson, and [[Kenny G]]. Don't know where the chicken came from though... Line 183: '''Mr. Verres:''' That doesn't help your case. }} ** Sketchbook got a [http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2003-07-20 Random magic potion party]. * ''[[Loserz]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20110423130844/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/68 has] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213180245/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/262 several] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213200153/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/359 hilarious] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213180317/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/168 examples]. * The New Year's Eve party in ''Wild Life'' (the ancestor strip for ''[[Dork Tower]]''). We only see the aftermath but the host is wondering how you get elk vomit stains out of upholstery. * ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' got the girls' [http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20101119.html slumber party]. When two vampires, werewolf, [[Snake People\|melusine]] and succubus are brought together in a mood for shenanigans, [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]]? Then, of course, someone finds a bottle of liquor... [[Hilarity Ensues]]. * In ''[[Sinfest]]'', [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20140209175102/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2294 Satan stages one when God's asleep] ~~-- down~~—down to his reaction when God starts to wake up. == Web Originals == * In ''[[~~Thalias~~Thalia's Musings]]'', Thalia answers a mortal's prayer for comic inspiration by ordering him to throw one of these on Mt. Parnassus, which will infuriate Apollo. {{quote\|'''Thalia:''' Call Pan and Dionysus to the Corycian Cave on the slopes of Mount Parnassus and host a feast. '''Eustachys:''' A feast, Lady Thalia? Line 202: * ''[[The Simpsons]]'' has occasionally featured this type of party, and the clean-up period afterwards, which usually involves an alligator and a man that sounds suspiciously like Charles Bronson. ** A recent episode implies Homer throws one of these every Mardi Gras, and it almost drove them bankrupt. * ''[[The Berenstain Bears]]'' TV series finds an ingenious solution to the fact that nobody in their right mind is going to leave a bunch of grade-school kids alone to begin with: the party takes place on a night when Lizzy Bruin has a baby-sitter. Who was told she was supervising a cute little sleepover and grows increasingly flustered as half the school shows up, leading to the 'trashed house' version. Interesting also in that the [[Aesop]] here applies to the parents as much as the ~~kids -- the~~kids—the former shouldn't have just taken the latter's word for it that the Bruins were OK with a party. ** There was also a book of that exact same episode. {{spoiler\|Papa Bear points out that if parents had compared notes, the whole thing would have been nipped in the bud.}} * ''[[Clone High]]'' had basically the same scenario as the ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' example above, except that it was non-alcoholic beer only because the only person who could have passed for 21 was also the resident [[The Ditz]]. * In an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', the FBI agents assigned to watch the Griffins' home while the family is in witness protection throw a wild party with all the other FBI agents. * Timmy from ''[[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~OddParents]]'' once threw one of these (despite not being a teenager), simply because it's what you're ''supposed'' to do when your parents are out. It included such people as escaped criminals, vikings and a walrus. ** If I recall, he escaped trouble for two reasons: (1) He blamed it on Vicky, and (2) his parents would have been fine with it anyway if they had been invited. * ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'' threw one of those too. The party ended in the two ways: {{spoiler\|Goddard cleaned the house and Jimmy's parents didn't notice, [[It Makes Sense in Context\|but they forgot the dinosaur in the closet]], so he ended up grounded for that}}. * Happens often on [[My Life as a Teenage Robot]] * The younger members of the team had one of these in ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' after they lured Scott and Jean [[Ship Tease\|out on a drive together]]. And then {{spoiler\|a gamer almost destroyed the mansion when he hacked into Cerebro, thinking it was a fancy computer game.}} * In one episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' Pearl invites some of her friends over for a slumber party, and they watch TV and eat chips. However, Mr. Krabs, expecting a [[Wild Teen Party]], sends [[SpongeBob]] to be a ~~chaperone -- and~~chaperone—and {{spoiler\|[[SpongeBob]] inadvertently destroys the house himself}}. * In ''[[The Emperor's New School\|The Emperors New School]]'', Kuzco tries to persuade Malina to throw one while her parents are out of town. She refuses. In the end, he ends up throwing one. At her house. For a bunch of manatees. ([[It Makes Sense in Context]].) * ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': A party in the [[Beach Episode]] turns into this after the host makes the mistake of inviting the four teenaged villains and annoying them enough to make them [[Disproportionate Retribution\|trash the place]].

The teen blames her friends for hacking her account. * [https://web.archive.org/web/20120430132239/http://www1.salon.com/aug97/mothers/excerpt970813.html Ryan's Wreck]: A three-day orgy of destruction that included everything from destroying furniture and using the remains to bash down walls to ''[[Teens Are Monsters\|throwing a cat in the microwave]]''. The cops arrested a few people, but no one was ever charged with anything. * Corey Worthington had a party get really out of hand after advertising it online. In Narre Warren South, Australia, police cars and neighbours' property were damaged while Corey's parents holidayed in Queensland. Dozens of police officers, a helicopter and the dog squad had to be called in to restore the peace. A fabulously snarky TV interview (in which he refused to take off his sun glasses, "Because. They're famous") cemented his celebrity status, and he appeared on Aussie [[Big Brother]]. Has also made money as night clubs offer people the chance to Party With Corey. Predictably, there was a [[Hype Backlash]] and he's one of Australia's most loved and hated beach bums. ** Link to the video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm61svN4U5g&feature=related here.] * One of the many glorified urban legends about 4chan claims that they use their Anonymous goons to regularly prowl [[Myspace]] and Facebook for parties, then raid them in real life with dozens of uninvited guests. In reality, this has probably happened once or twice. * [http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/28/us/28land.html In January 2008], a couple dozen teens in a rural area went to a vacant house for a party. They wound up doing several thousand dollars' worth of damage to the place. Obviously, that sucks, it was incredibly irresponsible. Unfortunately for all of us, though, the house happened to be a historic site, the former home of poet [[Robert Frost]]. So what would have become a local problem and maybe some vandalism charges if the police ever figured out who was at the party turned into several days of [[Kent Brockman News]] when the ''New York Times'' and other national news outlets devoted multiple headlines and editorials to this [[Wild Teen Party]]. * [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39659263/ns/local_news-miami_fl/ In October 2010,] in Boca Raton, Florida, two teens at an elite private school decided to have their homecoming party at their parents' mansion, ''with their parents there'' but staying out of the way. Only about 150 people were expected to show up, but about 400 other teens crashed the party, bringing alcohol, and it went out of control. Several teens were arrested and the parents are being held responsible. * [http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/17/obama-in-college-made-his-latino-maids-cry During Obama's years of College in California], according to Dreams of my Father, one of his friends, Reggie during a party in College in 1980, recounted during his and Obama's freshman college year that they threw an absolutely destructive and heinous party that lasted 40 hours with no sleep, from Saturday all the way to Monday, with everyone standing like Zombies, and with beer cans, beer bottles, cigarette butts, Jimmy throwing up on a spot, and newspapers littered across the room by the time the Latino maids came up. The maids in question were horrified at the state the dorm was in and started crying before they were forced to clean up the entire thing with no help. Going by Reggie's reaction through it all, he feelings for remembering the thing were similar to that of riding his first bike.
