History Main / ClownCar

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': As shown in the page image, a large group of out-of-work clowns tout for employment in front of a party story. The guy who drives up in his tiny car needs all of them, so they pile in.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' episode "Bot Seeks Bot" opens up with a funeral for the late "Clue Clown", who suffered a heart attack while driving his car. While his cause of death was the heart attack itself, it is implied he would have survived it, if not for the fact that his car was packed so full of hench-clowns that it took ''twenty minutes'' for responders to get enough out that they could reach Clue Clown himself, who by that point had already died.

** "Brother's Little Helper" features a drug-addled tank-driving Bart about to crush a clown car, thus prompting Krusty to hasten out several other clowns.
--->'''Krusty''': What the?\\
''[He sees the tank coming.]''\\
'''Krusty''': Quick, everyone out! Noodles! Seesaw! Oopsie! Flopsweat! Hoohaw! Jitters! [[JokeOfTheButt Sir Widebottom]]!\\
'''Sir Widebottom''': Oh! I'm stuck!\\

'''Sir Widebottom''': ...I'm sure I'm alive but, why?

** {{Downplayed|Trope}} in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2122ShortFilmsAboutSpringfield Short Films About Springfield]]": an extraordinarily tall man is seen driving a car so small that when seated, his knees are roughly level with his ears. [[{{Jerkass}} Nelson]] points and laughs, only for the tall man to [[OhCrap get out and give chase]], eventually fishing Nelson out of a sewer. The tall man then explains [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome that this was the largest automobile he could afford]] before giving [[AssholeVictim Nelson his comeuppance.]]

* One shows up in the Big Top level of ''VideoGame/{{CarnEvil}}''. Though it seems to look a lot like an ambulance, as seen in the above photo.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "Gone", [=SpongeBob=] spends many weeks in Bikini Bottom all by himself before one bus arrives and unloads a whole crowd of people bigger than the bus itself with Mr. Krabs explaining they left the city for "National No [=SpongeBob=] Day".
* Another older example is in "Trolley Troubles", an ''WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit'' short. Oswald's trolley seems to be fairly small, but it can hold ''hundreds'' of riders!

* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' invokes the trope often, depending on the capital ship and robots you have. A typical situation would be the Ra Calium from ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' with a standard load of twelve roughly eighteen meter Mobile Suits plus another dozen super robots in the 30+ meter range. Probably at it when the 100m Anime/{{Daitarn 3}} is on board. Occasionally possibly averted whenever ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' ships are available.

* In ''VideoGame/HaloWars'', there is no way a infantry transport vehicle the size of three dump trucks can carry 240 Marines, and look empty from your view over the battlefield.
* The [[TropeNamer Koopa Clown Car]] (actually some kind of reverse helicopter) from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' is able to carry Bowser, an infinite amount of {{Mecha| Mooks}}koopas, Princess Peach, two Super Mushrooms, and an infinite amount of enormous cannonballs inside itself without running out of room, and the cannonballs are ''at least as big as the car itself''.
** Bowser Jr. also has one that can carry an infinite amount of Bob-ombs.

* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'', at one point Travis walks into a parking lot with two vans in it. He has to fight the thugs coming out of those vans, who seem to keep pouring out for a good 20 minutes.
** Actually, several more vans (about eight more) pull up. Albeit those vans seem to have come from Hammerspace.

** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scale This is not in any way unusual for the franchise, by the way.]]

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'', [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1555 SCP-1555 ("Facility")]]. SCP-1555 fires shells filled with mice (and sometimes other things). One time, a shell fired by SCP-1555 opened up and a horde of mice poured out for three hours. The total number of mice couldn't have naturally fit into the shell.

* In the NES version of ''[[VideoGame/DoubleDragon Double Dragon II: The Revenge]]'', Mission 3 is set entirely inside the confides of a chopper. The player fights against a total of seven or eight enemies in this stage (two right hand-men, three or four Williams and two Bolos), all coming out from the helicopter's cockpit.
