History Main / WildTeenParty

* Literally ''everybody'' dancing and having a blast. As anybody who's actually been to a real teen (or, for that matter, adult) party will tell you, ''this'' part is not TruthInTelevision. Usually, there are at least as many people calmly sitting around and talking (or standing alone and feeling left out) as there are people dancing and acting crazy. Also, the house could not ''possibly'' have enough room for everyone to dance and act crazy at once. [[TemptingFate Oh, wait...]]

See also YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb (which may occur at this), APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy, and WhatDidIDoLastNight Take note that it doesn't necessarily have to deal with teenagers, but they are the most common occurrences of the trope. The subject of a WalkOnTheWildSideEpisode will sometimes throw one of these.

* Averted in ''Series/ModernFamily'''s third season "The Last Walt". Haley sets the party up by PlayingBothSides, getting permission from Gloria for a pool party at the Pritchett-Delgado house by telling her "her uncle" had agreed to chaperone. But instead of Cam or Mitchell, she tells Manny ''he'''s the chaperone when the party starts. Unfortunately (for her), Manny takes that role seriously and keeps the party from getting out of hand.

* The "Generations" expansion pack of ''TheSims3'' allows a teen to throw one if their parents win a free vacation

* An implied instance of the trope occurred in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sScj7MwjHBs commercial]] for the first MarioParty game: Some cops stop by a house due to reports of disruptive behavior in the neighborhood. They then ask for Mario, who then reveals himself. It then cuts after showing some gameplay footage to the cops escorting Mario to their squadcar by the arms, with his legs flailing and his protesting "But it'sa me, Mario!" before the cops sarcastically dismiss his protests with, "Yeah, tell it to the judge," strongly implying that he was going to end up arrested for the disruptive party.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dydOm225374 A commercial for Sabra Hummus]] broadcast in late 2009 plays with this trope. A couple share some hummus on their patio while watching a sunset, and comment on how it's just like they're on a Mediterranean vacation. A moment later a bowling ball crashes through the french doors behind them, and they discover a Wild Teen Party has broken out because their son thought they were "on a Mediterranean vacation".

* ''ThatSeventiesShow'' had a few of these, particularly in the earlier seasons, including a kegger in the pool of an empty house and a "the parents are out of town" party at Donna's.

* ''MarriedWithChildren''

* ''{{Smallville}}'': Clark Kent accidentally hosted, and managed to clean the entire trashed house in a few seconds with his SuperSpeed -- only to find his parents standing in the door applauding before explaining they called four times last night, and none of the four people who answered even knew a Clark Kent.
* ''JoanOfArcadia'' has God Himself request the party (but veto alcohol). The parents never find out, but the cops came by to shut everything down, much to Joan's relief. This ended up saving the lives of the police officers by [[spoiler: preventing them from being at a meth lab when it exploded.]]
* Kevin in ''TheWonderYears'' throws a party that gets crashed (apparently by just about every partier in town and then some) and he can't even clean up a fraction of the mess by the time his parents return home. [[spoiler:In a twist, he tries to fess up to them, but neither parent believes that straitlaced Kevin would do such a thing. Instead, they punish Kevin's older slacker brother Wayne whom they assume has bullied Kevin into taking the heat. ''And Wayne accepts it.'']]
* ''{{Skins}}'' is particularly known for these, to the point where [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skins+party "Skins party"]] has entered the slang lexicon. There is one in just about every episode - either that, or the characters will wake up to the aftermath of one (as happens at the beginning of Cassie's S1 episode).

* The second episode of ''FreaksAndGeeks'' features a Wild Teen Party. In an odd twist of the "getting increasingly drunk" requirement, the booze at the party has been secretly switched with "near beer" by the worried younger brother of the girl throwing the party -- but everyone still ''[[PlaceboEffect acts]]'' drunk. As it's also a parody of the over-the-top Anvilicious "[[CantGetAwayWithNuthin if you drink you'll]] '''''[[CantGetAwayWithNuthin die]]!!!'''''" messages that kids are generally bombarded with in these episodes, the episode also subverts most of the traditional Wild Teen Party elements -- nothing gets broken, the parents don't come home (and, so far as we know, never even find out about it), the house doesn't look ''that'' blitzed afterwards (at least, no more than you'd expect after a fairly reasonable party), many of the kids are clearly either bored (Ken) or overly self-conscious (Harris), a wild fight ''looks'' like it's going to break out but cooler heads manage to prevail, nothing particularly bad happens to the 'drunk' kids and the cops are only called because the hostess secretly wants the party to end but doesn't want to look like a party pooper in front of her friends, so one of her brother's friends agrees to do it for her. All up, it might be more accurate to describe this example more of a Moderately Engaging Teen Party rather than a Wild one.
* The ''MalcolmInTheMiddle'' episode "Reese's Party" has Reese mentioning this trope, and giving a foolproof plan to avoid the usual outcome of such parties: host the party on a ''Friday'' night, not Saturday, thus giving himself 1 day extra time to get rid of all the mess the party will cause. Unfortunately, the party is crashed by a bunch of guys who turn the garage into a meth lab.

* On ''{{The OC}}'', Ryan and Seth are subjected to Haley Nichol's New Year's Eve party, complete with skinnydipping and BYOB.

* In the ''DrakeAndJosh'' Episode [="Drake and Josh Inn"=], Drake and Josh turn their house into an inn while their parents are away during spring break. It eventually spirals into a wild party that gets onto MTV. Their parents decide to come home early, but the partiers are scared off before they arrive. However, minutes later the parents get in trouble with the police for hosting a TV event without a license.
* In ''FamilyTies,'' Alex's and Mallory's party attracts gate crashers that include a kangaroo mascot kidnapped from a rival high school. The next morning, Steven explains to his kids just why he's so angry with them:

** It should be noted that this went a ''bit'' beyond an unsupervised party: Mallory had crashed their parents' car so to pay for the repairs they turned the house into a ''bed and breakfast''. Though they managed to make their money back almost immediately, Alex didn't want to stop...

* One episode of ''HardcastleAndMcCormick'' does essentially this, even though the characters aren't teenagers; while Judge Hardcastle is out of town, his live-in parolee/sidekick Mark [=McCormick=] hosts a poker game that gets ''severely'' out of hand. When Mark has to leave to pick the Judge up from the airport (he got back unexpectedly early, natch), they come back to find that nearly everything in the house has been stolen. Even the ''furniture''. CantGetAwayWithNuthin with a vengeance.
* Rayanne had one of these in ''MySoCalledLife''. Word of mouth spread so far that someone invited her to her own party, not knowing she was the host. The party ended when Rayanne's mom came home, then went out again without noticing that [[spoiler:Rayanne had overdosed. Angela's mother stepped in and saved her life.]]

* Happens in season 2 of ''H2OJustAddWater'' when Emma's parents are away and her mother's dolphin ornament gets broken. Also in "Bad Moon Rising" when Rikki trashes the house with her powers, Emma lies to her parents saying she had a party.
* A variation happens in ''LizzieMcGuire'' where Kate's wants to throw a birthday party, but her cousin only invites her friends who proceed to 'deliberately' destroy things, orders a cake she wanted because she doesn't like chocolate like Kate, and actually forgot that day was Kates birthday. Only Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo show up. Lizzie calls her mother to get rid of the out of control partyers.

* ''SClub7'' managed to pull this off when they were house sitting. Unfortunately for them the house is a mansion in LA and they can't even begin to clean up before the owner gets home. However the owner turns out to be a party man himself and continues the party through the day.

* On a Halloween episode of ''HomeImprovement'', Brad's crazy friend Jason convinces him to throw one of these parties when Tim and Jill go out to an awards ceremony for local TV shows. In the middle of things, Brad goes out to the backyard fence to get advice from [[TheObiWan Wilson]], and that's when Tim and Jill walk in on the whole thing.
* In ''FamilyMatters,'' after Eddie invites a friend over while Carl and Harriet are away, a party erupts. Two rival football teams show up and argue. When they attempt to redo a disputed play from a past game a gravyboat goes through the window. There is mention of Jello in the bathtub, and Carl finds Urkel stuffed in the couch.
* Jenny's birthday party-turned-rager in ''GossipGirl''. Pictures are tilted, Lily van der Woodsen's clothes are worn by complete strangers, people try to have sex in the van der Woodsens' bedrooms. Not to mention Vanya (the van der Woodsens' doorman) has to fight back complete strangers from coming into the van der Woodsens' building and the police have to bring Rufus and Lily back to said building to stop the rager.

* Averted in ''TheInbetweeners''. The lads wind up at two house parties in total. The first one is rather lifeless and nothing really happens, bar Will hooking up with Charlotte (Will even refers to it as a shit party in the narration). The second is a birthday party that the lads gatecrash and, while it is busy, it's hardly wild especially as the boys simply stand around not talking to anyone.
* ''{{Glee}}'': Rachel Berry attempts to have one. Needless to say, it fails miserably-- until they break out the alcohol, that is.

* ''TheSteveHarveyShow'': Steve tells Romeo not to have one of these when he goes out of town with Regina for a conference. Ced and Lovita decide to have a party to celebrate Ced's having paid off his Hyundai, and override Romeo's pleas not to have it at Steve's. Of course the word gets out and practically everyone in Chicago shows up. Romeo frantically tries to keep the house clean during the party but the house gets trashed anyway. The next morning, Ced and Lovita come over to Steve's house to help Romeo clean up, but Steve comes home unexpectedly. Ced and Lovita quickly leave, leaving Romeo holding the bag.

* Theo had one on ''TheCosbyShow''. It was just supposed to be only eight people: Theo, his three friends, and their girlfriends. The word gets out on campus and everyone shows up and trashes the house. Cliff and Clair come home and sees the destruction, and as punishment, Cliff has Theo serve the homeless every weekend for six months as well as pay to repair the damages to the house.

* ''TwoAndAHalfMen'': Bertha attempted to hold a party at Charlie's house while Charlie, Jake, and Alan were away for a week at Las Vegas without Charlie's knowledge. However, it ended up being cut very short when it not only became apparent that they weren't going to Las Vegas after all (they had to cancel the trip after Jake caught an illness, implied to be the flu), but they also walked in on it after hearing the music from the party. Bertha immediately covered herself by saying "Surprise" in order to make it seem as though the party was intended for either Charlie or Alan harper.'
* Averted in ''Series/ModernFamily''[='=]s third-season "The Last Walt". Haley sets the party up by PlayingBothSides, getting permission from Gloria for a pool party at the Pritchett-Delgado house by telling her "her uncle" had agreed to chaperone. But instead of Cam or Mitchell, she tells Manny ''he'''s the chaperone when the party starts. Unfortunately (for her), Manny takes that role seriously and keeps the party from getting out of hand.
* On one episode of ''TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', this is PlayedWith. Phil and Vivian go out of town and specifically warn Will not to do anything stupid while they're gone. Carlton then rents out the house so that the band Bell Biv Devoe can shoot their music video about a wild party. The house ends up being trashed (as if it was a real party), and Phil and Vivian decide to come back early. They end up spending all of the money from the rental on fixing up the house. In another episode, Will lies to his girlfriend Lisa so that he can go to one in college, and ends up catching Ashley making out with a college football player.

* ''GilmoreGirls'': Attending the Wild Teen Party is played as a rite of passage of sorts, with the free-spirited Lorelai proud rather than outraged:

* [[http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,2056989,00.html This example]]: When a British teen decided to throw a party while her parents were away and invited her friends via MySpace, far more than just sixty of her mates (which would have been a lot anyway) showed up. Between 200-300 people showed up, and left about £20,000 ($40,566) worth of damage in their wake. The teen blames her friends for hacking her account.

** Link to the video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm61svN4U5g&feature=related here.]]
* One of the many glorified urban legends about 4chan claims that they use their Anonymous goons to regularly prowl MySpace and Facebook for parties, then raid them in real life with dozens of uninvited guests. In reality, this has probably happened once or twice.

* [[http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/17/obama-in-college-made-his-latino-maids-cry During Obama's years of College in California]], according to Dreams of my Father, one of his friends, Reggie during a party in College in 1980, recounted during his and Obama's freshman college year that they threw an absolutely destructive and heinous party that lasted 40 hours with no sleep, from Saturday all the way to Monday, with everyone standing like Zombies, and with beer cans, beer bottles, cigarette butts, Jimmy throwing up on a spot, and newspapers littered across the room by the time the Latino maids came up. The maids in question were horrified at the state the dorm was in and started crying before they were forced to clean up the entire thing with no help. Going by Reggie's reaction through it all, he feelings for remembering the thing were similar to that of riding his first bike.
* [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2206919/Riot-Facebook-party-attended-thousands.html The "Project X Haren" party]] from September 21, 2012. A teenager from Haren, The Netherlands sent out a Facebook invitation to her friends for her 16th brithday. Unfortunately, she forgot to set the invite to "private" and it was passed on to 30,000 people. 3,000+ people showed up to the small town and basically caused a riot: setting things on fire, smashing windows, skirmishes with the police, etc.

* ''CodenameKidsNextDoor'' has the Delightful Children accidentally start a TV-Y7 version of this trope by trying to kiss up to teenagers. They're forced to ask the Kids Next Door to [[SaveTheVillain help them stop the party]] before Father finds out; the KND are [[HonorBeforeReason honor-bound to agree]].

* ''TheBerenstainBears'' TV series finds an ingenious solution to the fact that nobody in their right mind is going to leave a bunch of grade-school kids alone to begin with: the party takes place on a night when Lizzy Bruin has a baby-sitter. Who was told she was supervising a cute little sleepover and grows increasingly flustered as half the school shows up, leading to the 'trashed house' version. Interesting also in that the {{Aesop}} here applies to the parents as much as the kids -- the former shouldn't have just taken the latter's word for it that the Bruins were OK with a party.
** There was also a book of that exact same episode. [[spoiler: Papa Bear points out that if parents had compared notes, the whole thing would have been nipped in the bud.]]
* ''CloneHigh'' had basically the same scenario as the ''FreaksAndGeeks'' example above, except that it was non-alcoholic beer only because the only person who could have passed for 21 was also the resident TheDitz.
* In an episode of ''FamilyGuy'', the FBI agents assigned to watch the Griffins' home while the family is in witness protection throw a wild party with all the other FBI agents.
** In a later episode, Mayor AdamWest tells Quahog's townspeople about his plans to throw one (despite West being in his 80s in real life) but warns them not to tell his parents. [[OhCrap They find out about it.]]
* Timmy from ''TheFairlyOddParents'' once threw one of these (despite not being a teenager), simply because it's what you're ''supposed'' to do when your parents are out. It included such people as escaped criminals, vikings and a walrus.
** If I recall, he escaped trouble for two reasons: (1) He blamed it on Vicky, and (2) his parents would have been fine with it anyway if they had been invited.
* ''JimmyNeutron'' threw one of those too. The party ended in the two ways: [[spoiler: Goddard cleaned the house and Jimmy's parents didn't notice, [[ItMakesSenseInContext but they forgot the dinosaur in the closet]], so he ended up grounded for that]].

* The younger members of the team had one of these in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' after they lured Scott and Jean [[ShipTease out on a drive together]]. And then [[spoiler:a gamer almost destroyed the mansion when he hacked into Cerebro, thinking it was a fancy computer game.]]
* In ''AsToldByGinger'' Macie finds herself hosting a pool party against her will for the high school French class - because she accidentally revealed that her parents spent a lot of time out of town. The party isn't too wild but the girls have to deal with two Alpha Bitches trying to de-bikini Courtney.

* In one episode of ''SpongeBobSquarePants'' Pearl invites some of her friends over for a slumber party, and they watch TV and eat chips. However, Mr. Krabs, expecting a Wild Teen Party, sends SpongeBob to be a chaperone -- and [[spoiler:SpongeBob inadvertently destroys the house himself]].

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Stoked}}!'': Lo's End of The School Year party at the hotel, which gets so out of control (pretty much trashing the entire beach area and pool - Broseph drove Lo's jeep into said pool, and it lost most of its chairs to a bonfire - and ultimately drawing the attention of the RCMP and a television news crew) that it leaves her working to pay for it for the rest of the show.
* DoubleSubverted by ''BeavisAndButtHead'', of all people. Our heroes actually want to host this type of party, and openly announce that they're having one. Unfortunately, the only person who shows up is the nerdy Stewart, who brings a couple of his friends. After some geeky conversation between Stewart and his friends over whether [[KnightRider Michael]] could beat MacGyver in a fight, the real party starts when the party is crashed by Todd, a local hoodlum who Beavis and Butt-Head idolize. He kicks Beavis and Butt-Head out of their own house, and proceeds to trash it after holding a wild party of his own. When Beavis and Butt-Head come back, Todd trenches their yard and tells them they owe him $50 for party supplies, before tearing off down the street. Beavis and Butt-Head, of course, are simply thrilled that Todd came to their party.
* ''TheProudFamily'' double subverts this as well. It was intended that Penny Proud invite everyone to her party, or at the very least her friends, but [=LaCienaga=] ended up [[PartySchedulingGambit inviting everyone in the school]], and to add insult to injury, her friends end up stabbing Penny in the back when they make it seem as though they actually did intend to go to her party, when they actually just wanted to use their house as parking space for [=LaCienaga=]'s party. She ends up having to make do with people who she didn't intend to invite, some of them technically were legitimate in crashing the party (the Gross Sisters used invitations that were thrown out to enter Penny's party), and it took some time (and Aesops) for Penny to accept them as guests. Of course, by this time, [=LaCienaga=]'s party went into an unexpected halt, and they merged with Penny's party, although Penny was still not too happy with her friends, considering locking them out, but decided against it, but still planning to exact revenge on them with the hair-in-a-glass trick that she pulled earlier in the party. Furthermore, Penny's parents are involved from the very beginning.
** The episode where Penny has a sleepover plays this straight as Lacienaga calls everyone in their middle school to come over to the house. The party gets out of control just as Oscar and Trudy return home. Suga Mama is [[SeniorSleepCycle asleep the entire time]], only waking up when Oscar turns the TV off.
* ''PhineasAndFerb'' offers us a subversion. The family's parents are going on a trip, but Candace ensures them that she's not going to have a wild party, just an "intimate get together". And that's....exactly what she does. She invites over a couple of friends. Stacy then suggests she invites just a couple more people over, which Candace hesitantly agrees to. Then her boyfriend Jeremy comes over with his band, saying they just want to practice some music. Again, she hesitantly agrees, saying as ''long'' as its just for practice. Upon hearing the music, the ''entire NEIGHBORHOOD'' comes over, assuming it's one of her brothers' parties, which are awesome. The entire thing leads to this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq6q77MUf8w&feature=related song]]:
--> '''Candace:''': [[InsistentTerminology It's not a party, its an intimate get-together!]]

* Bloo in ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' throws a G-rated one while Madame Foster is out of the house for the day, it somehow ends with Mac running through the streets naked after [[GRatedDrug getting hopped up on sugar]]. The typical result of the trope is {{subverted}} at the end: Madame Foster comes home and seems quite incensed about it...because the party was thrown without her. She gleefully moves onto the dance floor and the party continues.

* In ''{{Unsupervised}}'' Gary and Joel were only inviting over two girls in an attempt to impress them. Of course, half the school decides to show up, but unlike most cases Gary and Joel aren't shown to suffer any sort of punishment from the parents, which fits in with the [[ParentalNeglect theme of the show]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHat'', along with Thing One and Thing Two, make a complete mess of the house. Fortunately, the Cat cleans things up just before Mom returns homs.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'' does in the promptly named episode, ''Home Alone''. Though in an aversion its not Sharon who threw it but her brothers who take advantage of the fact their babysitter had to leave them due to family emergancy. Sharon tries to be the responsible one doing the chores and what not. The one time she does try to loosen up and relax is when her mom not surprisingly comes back early from her vacation. Though her brothers get her off the hook by taking responsibility for the party. The most punishment Sharon gets is not getting the desired curfew extension she wanted.

A mainstay of the classic teen comedy movie, but usually seen at least once in every SitCom that has a teenaged character, this is the inevitable result of mixing one or more teenagers with a house devoid of parental figures. It almost always results in wall-to-wall teens, loud music, underage drinking, and property damage. (And, in R-rated movies, a lot of sex in the bedrooms and/or bathrooms.) Sometimes this is by design, and sometimes a small party for a couple of friends spirals completely out of control.

* The first ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' commercial has some cops arriving to investigate a wild party. At the end, the cops arrest Mario for disruptive behavior.

* ''EerieCuties'' got the girls' [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20101119.html slumber party]]. When two vampires, werewolf, [[SnakePeople melusine]] and succubus are brought together in a mood for shenanigans, WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong? Then, of course, someone finds a bottle of liquor... HilarityEnsues.
* In ''{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2294 Satan stages one when God's asleep]] -- down to his reaction when God starts to wake up.

* The first ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' commercial has some cops arriving to investigate a teen party. At the end, the cops arrest Mario for disruptive behavior.

* The movie ''Film/MeanGirls'' contains both a skanky Halloween party, complete with skimpy costumes, and an unintentional large party held in Cady's house, where one of Cady's parents' tribal fertility urns ends up in a cabinet. However, the parents never find out about the party.

* An implied instance of the trope occurred in one of the MarioParty commercials: Some cops stop by a house due to reports of disruptive behavior in the neighborhood. They then ask for Mario, who then reveals himself. It then cuts after showing some gameplay footage to the cops escorting Mario to their squadcar by the arms, with his legs flailing and his protesting "But it'sa me, Mario!" before the cops sarcastically dismiss his protests with Yeah, Yeah, tell it to the judge, strongly implying that he was going to end up arrested for the disruptive party.

* The younger members of the team had one of these in ''{{X-Men Evolution}}'' after they lured Scott and Jean [[ShipTease out on a drive together]]. And then [[spoiler:a gamer almost destroyed the mansion when he hacked into Cerebro, thinking it was a fancy computer game.]]

* ''MansfieldPark'': The young-adult Bertram siblings throw the RegencyEngland equivalency of this by putting on a scandalous play with their friends (which involves extensive construction to the house, including ''their father's bedroom'') while their father's away on a business trip. Edmund warning Tom that the changes to the house and expenses are going to get them in trouble, everyone's panic when Sir Thomas returns home completely unexpectedly, and the subsequent terror as he walks into the billiard room still unaware of the chaos he's about to see uncannily parallel the reactions of modern teenagers caught throwing a Wild Teen Party.

* The video for ''{{Metallica}}'s'' cover of "[[http://vimeo.com/9128706 Whiskey in the Jar]]" shows a few dozen Eighties heavy-metal girls trashing the ever-loving crap out of a SanFrancisco Victorian.
* KatyPerry's video for "Last Friday Night" had "The Best Party ever!" thrown by [[{{Friday}} Rebecca Black]] and attended by [[{{Glee}} Darren Criss, Kevin Mchale]] Hanson, and KennyG. Don't know where the chicken came from though...

* Pierce throws one of these in one story arc in ''{{Zits}}''. After things get out of hand, Walt clears 700 drunken teenagers out of the house by standing on a chair and announcing "I'm an orthodontist and I'm not afraid to prove it!". It's also implied in the ending that, although they cleaned up most of the house, they still had more than enough of a mess exposed for his parents to find when they get home (namely, the gutters are completely unhinged). Also, apparently he only had to tell Brittney about the party: the TelecomTree did the rest.

TruthInTelevision, of course (except for the last complication of literally ''everyone'' dancing and acting crazy) -- as any news reporter who wants to [[NewMediaAreEvil take a pop at Facebook]] will tell you.

* A variation happens in ''LizzieMcGuire'' where Kate's wants to throw a birthday party, but her cousin only invites her friends who proceed to 'deliberatly' destroy things, orders a cake she wanted because she doesn't like chocolate like Kate, and actually forgot that day was Kates birthday. Only Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo show up. Lizzie calls her mother to get rid of the out of control partyers.

* In the video for the Music/BeastieBoys' song "You Gotta Fight (For Your Right to Party)", a small group of nerdly types throw a (rather tame) party for themselves, which is then promptly crashed by a gang of punks.

See also YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb (which may occur at this), APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy, and WhatDidIDoLastNight Take note that it doesn't necessarily have to deal with teenagers, but they are the most common occurrences of the trope.

* Subverted in ''Film/DazedAndConfused'', when Kevin Pickford's plans are upset by the keg delivery guy showing up prematurely. Kevin's attempts at [[BlatantLies explaining it away]] does not convince his parents, who decide not to go on their vacation after all. There is still a Wild Teen Party; but it happens out in the woods, away from houses and parents.
