Episodes of this kind are quite likely to include a StockParody or {{Homage}} of King Kong: The 50-foot (15 meters) whatever [[ClimbingClimax will climb a tower]], often with a DamselInDistress in hand and airplanes buzzing like flies. Imitators often omit the DownerEnding where Kong falls to his death, though. See KingKongClimb for examples.
