* On ''{{Series/Intimate}}'', when twins Emil and Oskar want to celebrate their birthday, Oskar convinces their landlord to let them throw a party by promising to invite his teenage son Keno, a geeky shut-in. They then spend the whole day trying in vain to get anyone else to attend, so in the end the "party" just consists of the main five plus Keno silently sitting on the couch until midnight.

* ''ComicBook/BePrepared'': Russian immigrant Vera plans for her ninth birthday party in August (after everyone gets back from camp), and wants it to be like her friend Sarah's slumber party, complete with the things she thinks make a successful party: stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut, good gift bags, and a Carvel ice cream cake. But her [[StrugglingSingleMother single divorced mother]] can't afford those kinds of things. She substitutes with regular pizza and a medovik torte (a Russian layered honey cake), and both of them are discounted gifts from members of their church. (Vera does try to put together nice gift bags). Vera is unhappy at things being so Russian and tries to make the best of it--including offering to serve kvass (a Russian rye bread carbonated beverage)--but her very American friends [[CultureClash are visibly uncomfortable with the cultural differences]] and staying overnight in her small apartment, where they all have to stay in the room she shares with her younger brother (who is sleeping in the bedroom with their mother and younger sister Masha). The other girls call their parents in the middle of the night to go home, not even taking their gift bags--and while Sarah is [[OrderedApology made to apologize by her mother]], Vera is very hurt and blames herself, deciding she can't fit in with the American kids because she's too Russian.

* There's an [[UrbanLegends urban legend]] (sometimes told as a joke) known as "The Nude Surprise Party". In one version, a pastor brings all of his wife's friends and family together to his home to throw a surprise birthday party for her. He hears her in the shower of their master bedroom/bath and knocks on the shower door. "I'll be out in a few minutes," she tells him, and he leaves the bedroom. With the lights out, he and the guests wait outside the bedroom door. Suddenly the door opens and there stands the wife in silhouette, naked and dripping wet. "Come and get it while it's clean," she croons. The rest of the story can only be imagined. Other variations can be found [[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/birthday-suited/ here]].
