Wild Teen Party: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

''I'm rolling down the stairs, too drunk to fuck''|'''[[Dead Kennedys]]''', "Too Drunk to Fuck"}}

 

* ''[[Ten Things I Hate About You]]'' has Bogey Lowenstein's wine and cheese party crashed by the entire school. The house is wrecked, and the cops break it up. Also includes the famous picture window exit. And Julia Stiles table dancing to Notorious B.I.G.

* Parodied in ''[[Not Another Teen Movie]]'': they begin setting up the party as the parents are leaving.

'''Preston's Mother:''' Haha! Thats my boy. }}

* 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.

* In the ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' Episode "Drake and Josh Inn", Drake and Josh turn their house into an inn while their parents are away during spring break. It eventually spirals into a wild party that gets onto MTV. Their parents decide to come home early, but the partiers are scared off before they arrive. However, minutes later the parents get in trouble with the police for hosting a TV event without a license.

* In ''[[Family Ties]],'' Alex's and Mallory's party attracts gate crashers that include a kangaroo mascot kidnapped from a rival high school. The next morning, Steven explains to his kids just why he's so angry with them:

** It should be noted that this went a ''bit'' beyond an unsupervised party: Mallory had crashed their parents' car so to pay for the repairs they turned the house into a ''bed and breakfast''. Though they managed to make their money back almost immediately, Alex didn't want to stop...

'''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.

* ''[[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:

'''Mr. Verres:''' That doesn't help your case. }}

** Sketchbook got a [http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2003-07-20 Random magic potion party].

* In ''[[Thalias 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.

'''Thalia:''' You can’t see why this is a good idea? Man, no wonder you can’t write comedy. [http://thaliasmusingsnovels.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/playwright-laureate/\] }}

 

** The episode where Penny has a sleepover plays this straight as Lacienaga calls everyone in their middle school to come over to the house. The party gets out of control just as Oscar and Trudy return home. Suga Mama is [[Senior Sleep Cycle|asleep the entire time]], only waking up when Oscar turns the TV off.

* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' offers us a subversion. The family's parents are going on a trip, but Candace ensures them that she's not going to have a wild party, just an "intimate get together". And that's....exactly what she does. She invites over a couple of friends. Stacy then suggests she invites just a couple more people over, which Candace hesitantly agrees to. Then her boyfriend Jeremy comes over with his band, saying they just want to practice some music. Again, she hesitantly agrees, saying as ''long'' as its just for practice. Upon hearing the music, the ''entire'' neighborhood comes over, assuming its one of her brothers' parties, and they're awesome. The entire thing leads to this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq6q77MUf8w&feature=related song];

'''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.
