Daffy closes the hotel for repairs, and then runs away yelping in pain due to his tailfeathers being on fire from the blast.

This can happen from many different situations, but all with the same effect of [[PainPoweredLeap leaping into the air]] while taking damage and trailing smoke from behind. They can both suffer a rump roast from lava, fire, hot water in the hot springs, freezing ice, and will also go through the same damage animation getting [[PainToTheAss stabbed in the butt]] by spikes.

* If Mario touches lava in the ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' (which is also a OneHitKill), ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' titles, he grabs his now-smoking butt and yelps in pain.

(''Shere Khan turns to see the burning branch tied to his tail, [[OhCrap flips out in horror]], tries to put out the fire, but is unable to, and flees just before it starts raining'')

* During the climactic battle with Shere Khan in ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'', Mowgli finds out from the Vultures that fire is the one thing Khan fears when a tree is hit by lightning and set on fire due to an impending thunderstorm, and while the Vultures distract Khan, Mowgli ties a burning branch from the tree to Khan's tail.
