Removed this from the article:

"If something more surreal than an anvil is used for the purpose, that's Drop the Cow."

Because Drop the Cow isn't about dropping things on people; it's about cutting a comedy sketch short in a deliberately wacky way when it threatens to outstay its welcome. That trope is seeing so much misuse due to people only seeing the name.

This trope is invoked in Jimmy Neutron when Hugh teaches Jimmy about acting.

Hugh: When an anvil drops on your head, you go. Um, "AH! THERE'S AN ANVIL ON MY HEAD! OW. IT HURTS!"
