[[File:Beavis and Butthead.png|350px|thumb|right|This trope is why these two exist.]]
Characters (adolescent or young adults, usually) get together to do something [[Fearless Fool|manifestly dumb]] and often [[Forbidden Fruit|prohibited]], but hey, they're young and so immortal, aren't they? The hold-outs are often persuaded because they don't want to look like a [[Dirty Coward]], and often one of the bolder characters urges it's [[Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught]]. Visiting an abandoned house or performing a ritual are common. [[Bullying a Dragon]] can be a form of it; you're not afraid of him just because he can warp space-and-time with his thoughts! The [[Call Reception Area]] and the [[Forbidden Zone]] are popular destinations. A particularly idiotic [[Wild Teen Party]] may feature one, especially if the participients [[Alcohol-Induced Idiocy|got very, very drunk]].

* Bumblebee in ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' might not technically be a kid (as far as we can tell), but he's got the mind of one and does equivalent stupid stuff. The most notable might be his upgrading himself with illegal and dangerous boosters and sneaking out onto an underground racing circuit with Sari.
* [[Beavis and Butt-Head]] are this trope personified.
