* The beginning of the original ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor1963'', the one with Jerry Lewis, may qualify. Prof. Kelp blows up his lab and gets chewed out.

* Invoked trope in the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "Bounty", where Dr Lee is giving a "demonstration" of a new device to the wider scientific community not in on TheMasquerade and has rigged it to short out, smoke and spark, to make believe it is a highly temperamental prototype and not something they stole wholesale from ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.

* ''Fanfic/TheArithmancer'': Dobby is keen to help his new masters Granger, and tries to have breakfast ready when they wake up, but unfortunately they had not yet taught him how to use all their appliances, and his experimentation results in ''turning on all the jets of their gas stove''. When he finally manages to trigger the starter, the resulting blast ignites the nearby cabinets and throws Dobby himself into the sink -- luckily with nothing worse than a bruised head and singed clothing.



** Averted, to Professor Snape's mild consternation, during Harry's free-brewing lessons. She makes plenty of mistakes, but her magic always detects and stifles the reaction before it can actually blow up in her face, leaving her protective apron in pristine condition.
