Working on cleaning up List Of Shows That Need Summary
I think this gag most well-known in Wile E. Coyote. He tries to saw off the part of the cliff that the Roadrunner is standing on, only for the rest of the cliff to fall and the part Roadrunner is standing on continues to float in midair.
A variation also happens in The Three Caballeros when Donald and Jose are trying to make Panchito stop singing his Incredibly Long Note by sawing off the section of the floor Panchito is standing on, and the rest of the floor falls.
This gag appears to be sufficiently common in The Golden Age of Animation. Do we have a trope for it?
