History Main / StagParty

** Barney is notorious for throwing these. Ted attempts to arrange a more sedate affair, seeing a boxing match and having a steak dinner, for Marshall's bachelor party and even lies to Barney about their actual destination to keep him from meddling. Despite his efforts, Barney is still able to hijack the weekend and arranges for a stripper to meet them at the hotel. The stripper breaks her ankle just after starting her act but, after a trip to the hospital, she and Barney insist on finishing. We don't see the performance but by the time she's done nobody wants their steak dinner anymore. They're ultimately kicked out of the hotel after Barney leaves a lit cigar lying around which sets the room on fire.

* ''Series/{{Cheers}}'': The gang hosts one for Sam in "[[Recap/CheersS5E18 One Last Fling]]", which goes just fine (drinking, porn tape) until Sam makes some embarrassing remarks as Diane hides inside the cake.

** Chuck's own bachelor party in "Chuck Versus Agent X" wasn't that great either. First, Devon took the guys into a park called "Las Ve''cas''" instead of Las Vegas. Then they got ambushed by Voloff's agents since Devon mistakenly brought the laptop they're after.

* In the "[[Recap/SherlockS03E02TheSignOfThree The Sign of Three]]" episode of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', Sherlock and John go on a pub crawl as this. Both get drunk in a couple of hours. Sherlock had been pre-planning his alcohol assumption but John accidentally screwed up his plan by adding shots to their drinks.

* The final scene of the ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' episode "Glory Days" is Murdoch's stag night (the following episode being the one where TheyDo). The normally teetotal Murdoch actually has a drink and, to his embarrassment, Bat Masterson arranges for an exotic dancer (but not a stripper since it's 1902).

* In the video for Creator/JaggedEdge's "Let's Get Married" (the original, not the remix), a man named Trent proposes to his girlfriend Sarah, who expresses some concerns that he's not really ready just yet because he has a habit of putting his friends and fun stuff before her. One of his friends throws him a wild bachelor party the night before the wedding, and Sarah is picking out her wedding dress.[[note]] Even though dress-shopping would ''realistically'' be done ''several'' months ahead of the wedding, due to the time needed for the dress to come in and any fittings and alterations that need to be done.[[/note]]. Sarah finally picks out the dress she wants and calls Trent to let him know and get some emotional support, but at that moment one of the strippers gets on his lap and hangs up his phone. Sarah, feeling very hurt, breaks off the engagement, leaving Trent looking at the ring and contemplating WhatCouldHaveBeen on the steps of the church. [[spoiler: The video rewinds back to the bachelor party, only this time Trent takes the call despite his friends' teasing and gives Sarah the reassurance she's looking for, and the wedding goes off without a hitch.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'', Genie tries to throw a bachelor party for Aladdin. The guy shapeshifts into a ''{{Gainaxing}} stripper'' and pops out of a cake, while snatching what's obviously supposed to be beer from the Carpet and calling him the "designated flyer".
