Wild Teen Party: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

Par-tay! Par-tay! Par-tay!

A mainstay of the classic teen comedy movie, but usually seen at least once in every [[~~Sit Com~~]] that has a teenaged character, this is the inevitable result of mixing one or more teenagers with a house devoid of parental figures. It almost always results in wall-to-wall teens, loud music, underage drinking, and property damage. (And, in R-rated movies, a lot of sex in the bedrooms and/or bathrooms.) Sometimes this is by design, and sometimes a small party for a couple of friends spirals completely out of control.

A mainstay of the classic teen comedy movie, but usually seen at least once in every [[Sitcom]] that has a teenaged character, this is the inevitable result of mixing one or more teenagers with a house devoid of parental figures. It almost always results in wall-to-wall teens, loud music, underage drinking, and property damage. (And, in R-rated movies, a lot of sex in the bedrooms and/or bathrooms.) Sometimes this is by design, and sometimes a small party for a couple of friends spirals completely out of control.

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 potentially lethal -- stunts fueled by [[Alcohol-Induced Idiocy|the excessive consumption of beer and other alcoholic beverages.]]

Line 29:

However it runs, with whatever complications and ending, the [[Wild Teen Party]] usually ends in [[An Aesop]] about responsibility, maturity, and -- if the hosts were 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.

[[Truth in Television]], of course -- as any news reporter who wants to [[New Media Are Evil|take a pop at Facebook]] will tell you.

Line 43:

* 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 (Manga)|~~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 Book)|~~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.

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 55:

== Film ==

* ''[[Clueless]]'' has one of these near the beginning of the movie

* The film ''[[Weird Science (~~Film~~)|Weird Science]]'' climaxes in what is perhaps the ''ultimate'' wild party, where pianos are catapulted up chimneys and the entire cast of ''Mad Max'' (save for Mel Gibson) crashes the event.

* The film ''[[Weird Science (film)|Weird Science]]'' climaxes in what is perhaps the ''ultimate'' wild party, where pianos are catapulted up chimneys and the entire cast of ''Mad Max'' (save for Mel Gibson) crashes the event.

* ''[[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]].''

Line 83:

* 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.

* The trope is actually subverted in ''[[~~Easy A (Film)|~~Easy A]]''. Melanie Bostic's party appears like a classic example, except narration by Olive reveals that they are a regular event thrown with the complete knowledge and support of Melanie's parents. All sex that is referred to involves the protagonist, Olive, and both instances are actually complete shams (In eighth grade Olive and Todd lied about kissing during "Seven Minutes in Heaven" and Olive and Brandon pretend to have sex in the movie-present). Beer is mentioned, but never seen, as all the party goers have generic plastic cups that could, theoretically, hold gatorade or soda. In the end, nothing illegal, amoral or unexpected is shown to have actually ''happened'', despite what people talk about or ''think'' happened.

* ''[[Teen Wolf (~~Film~~)|Teen Wolf]]'': Scott Howard's first wolfing out happens at a wild party complete with jello shots and whipped cream shenanigans. It's also his wolf-side that becomes responsible for him getting the keg for the party.

* ''[[Teen Wolf (film)|Teen Wolf]]'': Scott Howard's first wolfing out happens at a wild party complete with jello shots and whipped cream shenanigans. It's also his wolf-side that becomes responsible for him getting the keg for the party.

* 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 (Film)|~~Project X]]'' is literally [[Wild Teen Party]]: The Movie.

Line 102:

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[That ~~Seventies~~ 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.

* ''[[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 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 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]]''

* ''[[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 (Music)|~~Anthrax]]": Only eight people attended (the band, Bud/Kelly/Marcy), supposedly only lasted one song, but utterly trashed the downstairs.

** "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 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 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 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.

Line 127:

'''Steven''': Oh can you? Can you explain the valet parking in the drive way?... The flashing "vacancy" sign in front of the house? The '''''billboard''''' ''on Route 41''? }}

* One episode of ''[[Hardcastle and McCormick]]'' does essentially this, even though the characters aren't teenagers; while Judge Hardcastle is out of town, his live-in parolee/sidekick Mark McCormick hosts a poker game that gets ''severely'' out of hand. When Mark has to leave to pick the Judge up from the airport (he got back unexpectedly early, natch), they come back to find that nearly everything in the house has been stolen. Even the ''furniture''. [[Can't Get Away ~~With~~ Nuthin']] with a vengeance.

Even the ''furniture''. [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin']] with a vengeance.

* Rayanne had one of these in ''[[My So-Called Life]]''. Word of mouth spread so far that someone invited her to her own party, not knowing she was the host. The party ended when Rayanne's mom came home, then went out again without noticing that {{spoiler|Rayanne had overdosed. Angela's mother stepped in and saved her life.}}

* Even ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' had a Wild Teen Party though she was in college when she threw it. She threw a Halloween party to try and get her friends into the spirit of the holiday, and used real ghouls. More ghouls showed up and trashed the party and Roxie started a thing with Frankenstein. Naturally her aunts got home. Sabrina threw another Halloween party earlier in the second season but her aunts were home and she was busy trying to cover up the magical termites and the talking furniture.

* Happens in season 2 of ''[[H₂O Just Add Water]]'' when Emma's parents are away and her mother's dolphin ornament gets broken. Also in "Bad Moon Rising" when Rikki trashes the house with her powers, Emma lies to her parents saying she had a party.

* A variation happens in ''[[Lizzie ~~Mcguire~~]]'' where Kate's cousin throws her a birthday party but invites all her college friends, and only Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo show up. Lizzie calls her mother to get rid of the out of control partyers.

* A variation happens in ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'' where Kate's cousin throws her a birthday party but invites all her college friends, and only Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo show up. Lizzie calls her mother to get rid of the out of control partyers.

* 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.

Line 154:

== Music ==

* The [[Dead Kennedys]] practically skewered this trope the only way they can with the above-quoted "Too Drunk to Fuck". That's merely the first verse and all the other lyrics qualify, including shooting out truck tires, [[Fetish Retardant|clumsy oral sex]] and somebody "bawling like the baby from ''[[Eraserhead]]''". For good measure, the song ends with what's been aptly called "probably the most realistic vomiting effect ever committed to vinyl".

* Then, of course, there's [[Teenage Head]]'s ''[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Teenage Beer Drinking Party]]''.

* Then, of course, there's [[Teenage Head]]'s ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Teenage Beer Drinking Party]]''.

* [[Katy Perry]]'s song ''Last Friday Night''. Also, most of their parodies (such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaVQIu7i1Lc LastSundayNight].

Line 177:

== Webcomics ==

* ''[[~~El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|~~El Goonish Shive]]'' had a ''transgender birthday party'' ([[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?|Surely Nothing Bad Can Come from This]]?)... Subverted in that the Demonic Duck shows up at Grace's party, but when it becomes apparent that it isn't a drunk teen party he's extremely disappointed.

** But not before [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-11-15 referencing] the trope. Mr. Verres then explains (with graphs) why he doesn't trust Ellen to keep things sane:

{{quote| '''Mr. Verres:''' The clincher was that crazed look you got on your face when I first suggested the party.<br />

Line 199:

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[Codename Kids Next Door]]'' has the Delightful Children accidentally start a TV-Y7 version of this trope by trying to kiss up to teenagers. They're forced to ask the Kids Next Door to [[Save the Villain|help them stop the party]] before Father finds out; the KND are honor-bound to agree.

* ''[[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.

Line 209:

** 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]]

* In one episode of ''[[~~Spongebob~~ SquarePants]]'' Pearl invites some of her friends over for a slumber party, and they watch TV and eat chips.

* In ''[[The Emperor's New School ~~(Animation)~~|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]].)

'''People:''' CANDACE PARTY! CANDACE PARTY! }}

** Long story short, she desperately tries to get rid of a party that she never wanted in the first place- when her family comes home early, it looks like the [[Contrived Coincidence]] that always protects Phineas' and Ferb's inventions will protect her, too....but for the first time in the show's history, it doesn't, and Candace is busted.

* Bloo in ''[[~~Fosters~~ Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' throws a G-rated one while Madame Foster is out of the house for the day, it somehow ends with Mac running through the streets naked. The typical result of the trope is [[Subverted]] at the end: Madame Foster comes home and seems quite incensed about it...because the party was thrown without her. She gleefully moves onto the dance floor and the party continues.

* Terry's friend Howard throws one in an episode of ''[[Batman Beyond]]''. The party goes south when his [[Yandere]] robot girlfriend interferes with his attempt to pick up other girls and starts destroying the house when he tries to break up with her. She ends up exploding, taking the house with her, just as Howard's parents come home, having run out of vacation money thanks to him using it to buy the robot girlfriend. [[Deadpan Snarker|"The party peaked early"]], indeed.

* In ''[[Unsupervised]]'' Gary and Joel were only inviting over two girls in an attempt to impress them. Of course, half the school decides to show up, but unlike most cases Gary and Joel aren't shown to suffer any sort of punishment from the parents, which fits in with the [[Parental Neglect|theme of the show]].

* ''[[The Cat in ~~The~~ Hat]]'', along with Thing One and Thing Two, make a complete mess of the house. Fortunately, the Cat cleans things up just before Mom returns homs.
