The Hero (often a [[Lord Error Prone]] or [[Comedic Hero]]) hears a cry for help, or sees a crime taking place. Rushing in to save the [[Distressed Damsel]], he knocks the villain to the ground and -- A cameraman appears from hiding and upbraids him for ruining the shot. The damsel may start flicking through the script, or the crook complaining that the director is taking [[Enforced Method Acting]] too far. Either way, the hero is left to slink away apologetically, feeling like [[The Ditz]] he is.

Equally, a character may overhear actors practicing a script or a TV show being played too loud, think he's stumbled on a conspiracy, and try to [[Big Damn Heroes|save the day]]. Either way, he's going to end up looking [[The Fool|foolish]] and annoying a hell of a lot of people along the way.

* In the ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'' Annual #4, Spidey disrupted a movie starring the Human Torch, believing his rival hero has gone mad, and is attacking [[Innocent Bystander|Innocent Bystanders]].

Line 95:

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', it was actually a magic trick, and everyone ''knew'' it in advance, but the "Oh noes, I can't control it!" part got [[Idiot Ball|a little too realistic]] for Aang.

* In an episode of ''[[Kim Possible]]'', Señor Senior, Jr. assembles a gang of thugs to rob the Tower of London. Unfortunately for Junior, who was never the brightest bulb in the box, he attacks a set for a movie ''about'' the Tower of London, which is being filmed ''in Australia''. When Kim and Ron thwart his attack, and wonder how he did not even realize he was on the wrong continent, the director decided to [[Who Would Want to Watch Us|make a movie]] about Kim and Ron instead. Do not expect this outcome unless you are already an international teen crimefighter.

* Happened in ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures (Animation)|Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', where Jackie mistook an actor in costume for a new demonic monster. The stuntman thought it was still part of the script though and started to use wire-fu, with actual wires, before getting tangled in them and the director yelled "CUT!"

* In ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', Terry McGinnis fouls up two police traps in as many episodes, which annoys Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon to no end.
