History Main / DropTheWashtub

* In an extra episode of {{CLANNAD}} Tomoya and Sunohara hang a party ball over the school's entrance with a string attached that said something really interesting would happen. [[spoiler: Nagisa]] is the only one who pulls it and suffers from a washtub falling in slow motion until it hits her. It did come with some inspirational words for her to read in the infirmary though.

* [[SgtFrog Sgt. Keroro]] uses the Keroro Ball in episode 2 to drop a veritable rain of washtubs on Momoka in order to stop her from throwing dodgeballs at Tamama. In a later episode, he gets a washtub dropped on him as one of the punishments for not focusing on his report assignments.

* GodHand has a [[LimitBreak God Reel/Roulette]] with customizable outcomes, but two constant choices; one of those two choices sends a Washtub falling on top of Gene's head and damaging him. This is ridiculous since it actually deals some damage, not to mention the God Reel/Roulette is NOT random, so you would have to [[ViolationOfCommonSense actively scroll to this outcome and CHOOSE it for it to happen]]. Though, it's in Japan only; it's absent in the US version.

* This happens in the first episode of {{Maburaho}}. Two of them drop on Kazuki's head while his friends continue to talk about how worthless he is as both a magic user and a student at the school.

* This happens during a "game" in ''[[{{Fireball}} Fireball Charming]]''. Drossel, in a rare perceptive moment, actually finds it quite dangerous.

* This happens during a "game" in ''{{Fireball}} Charming''. Drossel, in one of her more perceptive moments, thinks it's quite dangerous.

* YokuWakaruGendaiMahou: the main character's only magical power is summoning basins from thin air. Expect a head to be on the washtub's trajectory more often than not.

* Pikachu inexplicably gets bonked on the head with a washtub after having a bunch of empty cardboard boxes fall on his head in a warehouse in the 3rd episode of ''{{Anime/Pokemon}} Black & White''. It knocks him out cold.

* [[SgtFrog Sgt. Keroro]] gets a washtub dropped on him as a form of punishment for not doing his report assignments. The Narrator lampshades their use of clever Japanese comedic hi-jinks.

* This randomly happens to ChibiRobo after recharging and trying to unplug. His sidekick Telly Vision keeps a count of how many times this happens.

* In ''{{Suikoden IV}}'', your hero can listen to characters' confessions and decide whether to 'forgive' or 'punish' them. Forgiveness entails dumping confetti on them from a hidden door; punishment results in either water, buckets or a washtub falling instead.
* During some of the boss battles in the 1994 GameBoy DonkeyKong game, Donkey Kong would make heavy objects fall from the sky, including barbells, 16t weights, and washtubs.
