* In ''Series/TheWonderYears'' episode "The Lost Weekend", Kevin throws a small get-together with a few of his closest friends, but they end up inviting more people, eventually leading to a wild party.

** One series of strips featured an inversion of the trope: Similar to the bachelor party in "Mr. Monk Is the Best Man", Peter planned to have a Halloween Party to which his dad granted him permission (mostly because Roger apparently forgot Peter's actual age), so they were all set up, only for it to turn out that most if not all of the invited people were freshman (barring Denise and Steve), and Peter was having a terrible time. The closest it ever got to playing the trope straight was when some adults arrived at the party and attacked Peter, and they weren't even invited in the first place (apparently they wanted beer at their party).

* [[https://dev-web.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/i-was-naive-admits-girl-whose-party-ruined-listed-house-796785.html In 2008]], an eighteen year old girl in Devon found 2,000 people gatecrashing her birthday party, when she expected about 300, causing £2,000 worth of damage to her parents' house, a Grade II listed building. While she blamed herself for putting up a poster at school inviting "everyone" (which was then passed on to neighbouring schools), her mother put the responsibilty onto a Radio 1 "shout out" (not sent in by Ms Ruscoe) which said "anyone who's listening can come along, apparently", although Creator/TheBBC insisted they hadn't given the address.

* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' features an odd example in Party Crasher's episode. It starts with Adrien's friends taking advantage of Gabriel Agreste being out (though in reality he was in the basement [[spoiler:tending to his butterflies and checking on his wife]]) to show the normally shut-in Adrien what it's like to live it up at a party. Sure enough, there's loud music, and the guest list expands to include [[ContinuityCavalcade virtually every character with a Y chromosome to have appeared on the show at that point]] up to and including the Mayor of Paris. But it only really becomes a problem when an attempt to get more power for the speakers takes away power from [[spoiler:Emilie Agreste's life support systems]], prompting Hawkmoth to akumatize one of the show's few male characters who ''doesn't'' get invited into Party Crasher to shut the party down. In a curious twist of this trope, Gabriel ''does'' find out, but does nothing about it, as he can't tell Adrien he knows about the party without [[spoiler:revealing that he is Hawkmoth]].

** The episode "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS4E2PowerPlayRoomForImprovement Power Play with the Casagrandes]]" has Ronnie Anne and her family save energy only to find that the energy bill keeps getting higher and higher. By the end of the episode, Ronnie Anne learns the reason why: [[spoiler: Sergio the parrot is throwing a WildTeenParty with the pigeons in the mercado]].

** Season 2 sees Nancy, Steve, Jonathan, and Billy attend a Halloween party. The party has your expected hits, with a bunch of people dancing around, some snogging, Billy breaking Steve's drinking record, and a beer-bellied guy 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 hanging out with Nancy. Things deteriorate as Nancy, consumed by lingering guilt over the one-year anniversary of Barb's death, gets drunk, and ruins 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.

** In the ninth episode of season 1, Aisha finds out that [[AlphaBitch Yasmine]] is throwing her birthday party at the Canyon. Wanting revenge on Yasmine for her cyberbullying, Aisha and the Cobra Kais decide to beat her there and set up their own party, with copious booze, drama, and drunken fistfights. Yasmine is pissed, and tries to order them out via Kyler, so Aisha gives her a front wedgie. Samantha has to be snuck over to the party by Robby to talk to Miguel since she's been grounded and her mother has confiscated her electronics, but a drunken Miguel misinterprets the situation and in trying to attack Robby, accidentally hits Samantha.

** Subverted in the ninth episode of season 3. [[StarCrossedLovers Samantha and Miguel]], having resumed their romance, realize they need to get their respective dojos Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang[[note]]A dojo created by Johnny with the students Kreese ejected from Cobra Kai[[/note]] [[EnemyMine to combine]] to take down Cobra Kai, but doubt their senseis will be able to see eye to eye. So to get the two sides together for a sitdown, Samantha gathers the Miyagi-Dos at her house with the promise of a keg party while her parents are having dinner with Ali Mills and Johnny at the country club, and Miguel brings Eagle Fang's students over using the same empty promise. They manage to finalize most of the terms before Tory leads a Cobra Kai assault on the house.

* ''VideoGame/HouseParty'' starts off pretty quaint and low-key, but as you play, you can encourage the party-goers to get wilder. Also, they're technically college-aged.

** In the second episode of season 1, Samantha throws a pool party at home with the popular girls from school while her parents are away at the country club. When her parents come home early and end the party, Daniel is mostly upset [[SkewedPriorites by the fact that the male guests stole and wore his bathing suits]].

Wanting revenge on Yasmine for her cyberbullying, Aisha and the Cobra Kais decide to beat her there and set up their own party.

** In the ninth episode of season 2, Moon throws a party at her house to mark the end of the summer break and try to get members of the Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do dojos to reconcile. Instead, the booze only serves to escalate the tensions, and it's only the arrival of the police to break up the party that prevents an all-out brawl from breaking out. During the party, Samantha gets pressured into a drinking contest with Tory, which she wins, then drunkenly kisses Miguel after learning from Aisha that he returned Mr. Miyagi's Medal of Honor (which Hawk had stolen when he vandalized Miyagi-Do earlier in the season). The kiss is seen by Tory, who retaliates by challenging Samantha to a fight at school.

** Season 1 sees Steve throw a party at his house since his parents are out of time, which culminates in Nancy having sex with him. It also ends up being where Barb is abducted by the Demogorgon and killed.
** 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-bellied guy 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 ruins 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.

* [[http://www.salon.com/1997/08/13/excerpt970813/ Ryan's Wreck]]: A three-day orgy of destruction that included everything from destroying furniture and using the remains to bash down walls to ''[[TeensAreMonsters throwing a cat in the microwave]]''. The cops arrested a few people, but no one was ever charged with anything.

* Averted in ''Series/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.

* If the party is wild enough, the police will show up to shut it down -- usually just minutes before the parents return. The guests have to find somewhere to hide, usually in places like the bushes outside or the washing machine. Someone might get caught in bed wearing nothing but a ModestyBedsheet.

* If the party is wild enough, the police will show up to shut it down -- usually just minutes before the parents return.

** In the season one episode "Jitters", 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 six times last night, and none of the six people who answered even knew a Clark Kent. However, they're soon distracted when Clark tells them about finding Jonathan's friend Earl Jenkins (who's since been taken in the hospital and is wanted for murder) in the loft.
** The season four episode "Spell" has another wild party (though this one was Lois's fault - it was a surprise party for Chloe's birthday), and again Clark's parents find evidence of it happening. Again, they're somewhat distracted from it by more serious matters: namely, when Clark tells them about the witches he was dealing with the night before, and that magic can hurt him.

* Though not involving teens, the ''next'' most ultimate wild teen party would be the toga party from ''Film/AnimalHouse.''

* ''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.
%%* Almost the entire film of ''Film/CantHardlyWait'' was set at a party, with only brief scenes set elsewhere.

* A rare family keepsake like an urn, or better yet, [[AshesToCrashes one containing Grandma's ashes,]] will be stolen, destroyed, or used to mix cocktails.

* Even ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' had a Wild Teen Party, though she was in college when she threw it. She threw a Halloween party to try and get her friends into the spirit of the holiday, and used real ghouls. More ghouls showed up and trashed the party and Roxie started a thing with Frankenstein. Naturally her aunts got home. Sabrina threw another Halloween party earlier in the second season but her aunts were home and she was busy trying to cover up the magical termites and the talking furniture.

* ''Series/CobraKai:'' In "Different But Same," a milder variant occurs at the canyon where Yasmine was planning to have her birthday party, complete with lots of booze and the very type of crowd she loathes. Yup, Aisha decided to Strike First.

* ''ComicBook/CherryComics'': The "Beach Party" story, during which all the goldfish get eaten, someone takes a chainsaw to a wall, and the beach house catches fire.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': "Dead Man's Party", in which Buffy's out-of-control welcome back party gets crashed by zombies. It's played with; the party was originally, as Giles planned it, just going to be a quiet affair to welcome Buffy home, but her friends overrule him and turn it in to one of these; ostensibly because they think it's going to be more fun, but ''actually'' because there's all sorts of tensions surround why Buffy left which, now she's back, they're all avoiding dealing with -- having the huge party is just an excuse to avoid her as much as possible while 'welcoming' her back. Needless to say, it gets ugly even ''before'' the zombies show up.

* 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.
