'''Basic Trope''': A disclaimer telling the audience not to do try things in real life that they see in a show.
* '''Straight''': Alice and Bob host a kids' science show. After an experiment involving [[StuffBlowingUp explosives]], they purposefully warn viewers not to try it out for themselves.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice and Bob give the same warning at end of every experiment, even the less dangerous ones.
* '''Downplayed''':
** A written disclaimer appears in small print during the credits.
** The experiment can be tried at home, but only with an adult's supervision.
** Rather then [[BreakingTheFourthWall directly addressing the audience]], Alice notes that the experiment Bob and her are doing [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall "would not be safe for children"]], and Bob nods in agreement.
* '''Justified''':
** Explosives are dangerous, and shouldn't be handled without the necessary training.
** Impressionable children might otherwise get the idea that it's okay to play with explosives.
* '''Inverted''': After an experiment involving thermite, Bob irresponsibly tells viewers to try it at home.
* '''Subverted''': Bob looks like he is about to warn the audience, then casually states "go right ahead kids".
* '''Double Subverted''': Only for Alice to lecture the audience on how dangerous the experiment is.
* '''Parodied''':
** "Don't try this experiment at home. It involves [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking flammable metals, poisonous gases and red cabbage indicator]]."
** A ton of safety disclaimers are shown when Alice and Bob are building an extremely safe experiment, like a mini-volcano set.
** A "do not attempt" disclaimer appears over a scene of Alice and Bob suing the network.
** The disclaimer appears in a scene of something utterly impossible to attempt at home like flying a fighter jet into a nuclear missile or hugging a t-rex.
** "Don't try this at home... go to a friend's house and do it instead!"
* '''Zig Zagged''': The original disclaimer was a joke. But when someone tries it at home, they start giving serious warnings. Later on they stop doing all but the safest experiments. But the safety warnings come back as a gag.
* '''Averted''': Alice and Bob do all manner of dangerous experiments, and there is no disclaimer.
* '''Enforced''':
** The network has to give people the disclaimer, otherwise they [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope could get sued]] if people hurt themselves.
** They did it to shut the MoralGuardians up.
* '''Lampshaded''':
** "No really, don't."
** "Don't play with Uranium kids, if you somehow got your hands on that stuff."
* '''Invoked''': Bob gives the warning because he [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat always wanted to say that]].
* '''Exploited''': Alice gives a positive spin on the disclaimer to encourage kids to pursue careers in science, where they really do get to try out awesome experiments.
* '''Defied''': Alice and Bob avoid doing anything so dangerous that it requires a warning, since they're worried that people might not listen or even [[ReversePsychology take it as a challenge]].
* '''Discussed''': Bob explains to the audience what would happen if they did try it at home.
* '''Conversed''': "The thermite experiment looks awesome. Pity it's too dangerous?"
* '''Deconstructed''': Viewers ignore the warnings, and try it at home anyway.
* '''Reconstructed''': They warn viewers because someone actually did try it at home, and got hurt.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Before an experiment with the potential to be extremely messy and require lots of cleaning, they show a clip of what the aftermath looks like if done with home supplies... then tell the viewers "You know what? ''Do'' try this at home! If you can't tell this is a bad idea, you deserve the wake-up call."
