History Main / WildTeenParty

* Creator/JohnMulaney's "The One Thing You Can't Replace" routine from ''New In Town'' is about how the son of their SadistTeacher held a party while his parents were out of town. Everyone was "drinking like it was the Civil War and a doctor was coming to saw our legs off." Someone body-slammed the pool table and broke it in half, and another person took a shit on the teacher's computer. Naturally, the police came to shut it down; however, when someone tried to warn everyone else about this, a drunk John got the crowd shouting "FUCK DA POLICE!", leaving the police officer, in John's words, ''almost'' impressed.

* There are a few parties in ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', but the only one that really fits this trope is one that the Motor Club spontaneously decides to have in Keiichi's house without his permission in order to get him to loosen up - [[ComicallyMissingThePoint when the reason he's a little stressed at the time is that he was trying to prepare for a major test that he had to take the following morning]].

* ''Film/ProjectX'' is basically Wild Teen Party: TheMovie, with this trope [[ExaggeratedTrope taken]] [[UpToEleven up to eleven]]; without getting into details, just know that the protagonist's entire house ends up ''completely destroyed'' beyond habitability by the end of the movie. It also gets bonus points for the fact that it basically turned into a real party on set, as the extras allegedly stayed dancing even when the camera wasn't rolling. It's pretty much become the modern day TropeCodifier for wild teen culture in the 2010s. However, it should be noted that things only really get out of control when the college kids (IE young adults) crash the party.
* ''Film/{{Clueless}}'' has one of these near the beginning of the movie
* The film ''Film/WeirdScience'' climaxes in what is perhaps the ''ultimate'' wild party, where pianos are catapulted up chimneys and the entire cast of ''Film/MadMax1'' (save for Creator/MelGibson) crashes the event.
* ''Film/{{Brick}}'' subverts the wild teen party in that there is a party, there are teens, and there is underage smoking and drinking, but it's a classy cocktail party, complete with live Jazz performance, in keeping with the 1940s noir theme.

* The movie ''Film/RiskyBusiness'' had a Wild Teen Party that was also the front for a (temporary) brothel. Joel gets away with it except for [[spoiler: his mother scolding him over a tiny crack in her crystal egg]]. Furthermore, during the party [[spoiler: a Princeton admissions officer drops by to interview Joel, and the prostitutes show him such a good time that he readily accepts Joel's application]].
* ''Film/SixteenCandles'', like nearly every other "brat pack" movie, has one of these.
%%* Almost the entire film of ''Can't Hardly Wait'' was set at a party, with only brief scenes set elsewhere.
* ''Film/SkyHigh2005'' features just such a party, with the twist that it's ''super powered'' teens trashing the place. In addition, when he is busted, the main character actually accepts punishment for it.
* ''Film/{{Superbad}}'': The climax of the film is set at one. Interestingly, the parents don't find out in either example. The whole plot revolves around three friends who are trying to get alcohol to the party. The plan (at least for one of the friends) is nicely thwarted when it's revealed that [[spoiler:the host of the party doesn't drink.]]

* ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' has Bogey Lowenstein's wine and cheese party crashed by the entire school. The house is wrecked, and the cops break it up. Also includes the famous picture window exit. And Julia Stiles table dancing to Notorious B.I.G.

* Used in the 2005 remake of ''Film/YoursMineAndOurs'', as part of the kids' plot to break their parents up.
* The fire department is called on the wild teen party in ''Film/{{ATL}}.''
* Initially 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. At the end of the movie, however, this is played straight: there is a Wild Teen Party; but it happens out in the woods, away from houses and parents.
* Perfect example in ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'', complete with mom and dad coming home and everybody running out into the street.
* A rare non-American example can be seen in ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuilly_sa_m%C3%A8re! Neuilly sa mere]]''. [[TokenMinority Young Arab]] Sami has to live with his aunt, her French husband, and his French children, in Neuilly (President Sarkozy's place of birth). Near the end, Sami's cousin Charles organizes a party where there is a argument, trouble-makers arrive (and break everything), and then the parents return earlier than expected.

* ''Film/AllTheBoysLoveMandyLane'', in a minor subversion, manages to do this with only six people at the party, [[FinalGirl one of whom]] isn't even really engaging in the festivities.
* The trope is actually subverted in ''Film/EasyA''. Melanie Bostic's party appears like a classic example, except narration by Olive reveals that they are a regular event thrown with the complete knowledge and support of Melanie's parents. All sex that is referred to involves the protagonist, Olive, and both instances are actually complete shams (In eighth grade Olive and Todd lied about kissing during "Seven Minutes in Heaven" and Olive and Brandon pretend to have sex in the movie-present). Beer is mentioned, but never seen, as all the party goers have generic plastic cups that could, theoretically, hold gatorade or soda. In the end, nothing illegal, amoral or unexpected is shown to have actually ''happened'', despite what people talk about or ''think'' happened.

* The film adaptation of ''Film/DiaryOfAWimpyKidRodrickRules'' depicts Rodrick's party on-screen, instead of leaving it to the reader and Greg's imagination. The family film is forced to water the teen party down to slightly loud music and a guy who eats whipped cream from the can. They do make the impressive mess as they did in the book.
* The neglected 1980 film ''Film/{{Foxes}}'' (the directorial debut of Adrian Lyne, who went on to do ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'', ''9 1/2 Weeks'' and ''Film/FatalAttraction'') has one. Madge, who is dating an older man played by Randy Quaid, invites her friends over for a small party in his apartment on a weekend when he's out of town. Eventually, more and more people hear about it and show up, a fight breaks out, and the apartment is completely trashed.
* ''Film/{{Frostbite}}'' has the LovableJock John hold a party while his parents are out of town. At first it's pleasant enough, everybody seems to have a good time and the party is rather civilized. Then John turns into a vampire and the party becomes a vampire party and they wreck everything.
* Double subverted in ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle''. The meeting of Cindy Kim and her East Asian Club is initially presented as a boring geekfest by a bunch of [[AsianAndNerdy straight-laced nerds]], but the actual party is soon revealed to be an unrestrained frenzy of drugs and sex.
-->'''Kumar:''' Dude, I'm thinking you really screwed up by not coming to this party.\\
'''Harold:''' ''I'' screwed up?!
* Deconstructed in the Creator/TinaFey & Creator/AmyPoehler movie ''Film/{{Sisters|2015}}'', where two sisters (now in their 40s) invite their old high school friends for [[GrowingUpSucks one last wild party]] before their parents (now retired) [[ChildhoodMemoryDemolitionTeam sell their old house]]. The end result isn't pretty, but at least the cops (who are younger than them) refuse to intervene since there's absolutely no underage drinking going on.
* The opening of ''Film/MyBloodyValentine3D'' has a wild teen party being held at the Abandoned Mine. Which is in pretty poor taste since it is the anniversary of the explosion that killed six miners and closed the mine.
* In ''Film/SummerCampNightmare'', the teenagers of Camp North Pines host two of them for both themselves and the girls from Camp South Pines after they take over the two camps and lock up all the adult counselors. Liquor and sex become prevalent in both parties, as one of the boys spikes the Kool-Aid at the first party with some alcohol that was found stashed away in a camp counselor's locker. However, at the first party there was a murder, as Mr. Warren, who was temporarily brought out of lockup to be taunted by the teenagers, ended up being accidentally killed by Stanley Runk with his knife. At the second party, a rape occured with John Mason getting too aggressive with Debbie Stewart, resulting in his punishment and subsequent death at the hands of the other girls from Camp South Pines.
* ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDorks'': Philip hosts one of these at his house in celebration of trouncing Wolfe and his team at dodgeball, as well as in hopes of getting with Ushi. It doesn't go as planned.

* ''Series/OutOfThisWorld'': Evie use her powers to clean it up. Then, when her mom is back, the effects stop and home is messy again in front of the mother.

* A character gets incredibly drunk with bad results. Usually a character who doesn't normally drink, but is pressured into it/doesn't realize the drinks are spiked, to give the [[AnAesop Aesop]] [[{{Anvilicious}} more impact]].

* In the ''Series/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.

* One episode of ''Series/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.

* Although technically not a Wild Teen Party, ''Series/EvenStevens'' does have a similar issue where, while the parents had to leave the house for a bit, Louis actually uses the opportunity to use the house as a hotel as a fund-raiser for a ski trip. Louis (and eventually Ren, as soon as she finds out and ends up allowing it to happen due to a boy at the house) eventually ended up having to get the guests to leave early due to the parents coming home early (When the parents called to check up on Louis, one of the guests answered and, mistaking "Louis" for her husband rather than the guy actually running the hotel, responded that Louis broke his back [Beans had injured the other Louis earlier due to using boots to massage his back], and the woman mistook her for a woman that Louis may have actually been seeing while still married to her.). They would have gotten away with it, had one of the guests also not also happen to be one of San Fancisco's news anchors and more importantly reported on the "hotel" on the news the next morning with the parents watching.

* On one episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', this is [[PlayingWithATrope played with]]. 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'' does this in the promptly named episode "Home Alone". Though in an aversion it's not Sharon who threw it, but her brothers who take advantage of the fact their babysitter had to leave them due to a family emergency. Sharon tries to be the responsible one doing the chores and whatnot. 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.

* Inspired by the ''Project X'' film example above is the [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2206919/Riot-Facebook-party-attended-thousands.html "Project X Haren" party]] from September 21, 2012. A teenager from some town out there in [[UsefulNotes/TheNetherlands the Netherlands]] called Haren sent out a Facebook invitation to her friends for her 16th birthday. 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. [[note]]Interestingly, this one happened with some unintentional coroboration from media, city officials and the mayor. The media caught on to the Facebook mishap and plastered it all over the headlines, the city actually considered (publicly) to organize something for the guests, and the mayor went back and forth on whether there would be a party or not. By the time the city had decided there would be no party, many people had already committed themselves to going anyway, party or no.[[/note]]

* {{Double Subver|sion}}ted by ''WesternAnimation/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 [[Series/KnightRider Michael]] could beat Series/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.

** Season 2 sees Nancy, Steve, Jonathan, and Billy attend a Halloween party. At first, the party has what you'd expect at one of these parties, with a bunch of people dancing around, some snogging, Billy breaking Steve's drinking record, and a beer-chested teen who exclaims "PURE FUEL. '''PURE ''FUEL!'' WHOOOO!'''" to Nancy by the punch bowl. Jonathan is clearly uncomfortable being there, only being around in hopes of getting some time with Nancy. Things deteriorate as Nancy, consumed by lingering guilt over the one-year anniversary of Barb's death, gets drunk, and ends up spilling punch on her shirt when Steve tries to cut her off. He takes her to the bathroom and she vents about Barb and their relationship, offending Steve to the point that he ditches her, and Jonathan has to drive her home and tuck her into bed.
* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': During her teenage years, Karen Page hooks up with a drug dealer named Todd Neiman and they sell drugs to fratboys. The flashback, in the appropriately named season 3 episode "Karen", opens with Karen dancing half-naked at a frat party.

* Deconstructed in the Creator/TinaFey & Creator/AmyPoehler movie ''Film/{{Sisters}}'', where two sisters (now in their 40s) invite their old high school friends for [[GrowingUpSucks one last wild party]] before their parents (now retired) [[ChildhoodMemoryDemolitionTeam sell their old house]]. The end result isn't pretty, but at least the cops (who are younger than them) refuse to intervene since there's absolutely no underage drinking going on.

* ''Series/StrangerThings'': Season 2 sees Nancy and Steve attend one such Halloween party in Hawkins. Things go awry when Nancy, guilt-ridden about Barb's death a year ago, gets drunk and goes off on Steve for their withholding the truth about Barb, and ultimately has to be taken home by Jonathan.
* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': During her teenage years, Karen Page hooks up with a drug dealer named Todd Neiman and they sell drugs at several Vermont colleges. The flashback, in the appropriately named season 3 episode "Karen", opens with Karen dancing half-naked at a frat party.

* In ''Series/TheSopranos'' Meadow has one of these in her grandmother's empty house after her grandmother dies. Tony has to break it up and square the cops. [[/folder]]

[[/folder]]

* The song "Be More Fun" in ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}'' has Kurt and Ram hosting a giant teen party full of sex and underage drinking.

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' had a feline variant. While Mammy Twoshoes is at a bridge game with some friends, Tom invites some of his pals over to the house for a wild party that disrupts Jerry's sleep.

* They are treated as SeriousBusiness, where missing one is the teen comedy equivalent of [[Literature/TheBible missing out on the birth of Jesus Christ]].

* They are treated as SeriousBusiness, where missing one is the teen comedy equivalent of [[UsefulNotes/TheBible missing out on the birth of Jesus Christ]].

* They are SeriousBusiness when it comes to the PopularityFoodChain. Everybody is basically obligated to attend Bob's crazy party, lest they get ostracized forever as [[HollywoodNerd lame nerds]].

* Bumping and grinding (nothing like the HighSchoolDance).

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' episode "The Show That Dares Not Speak Its Name", Billy frees a demon from a Rubik's cube who frees other demons to have a party in Billy's house. When the demons are gotten rid of, Billy's mom assumes his dad did it.
