* Paramount's Modern Madcap "TV or No TV" (1962) has Ralph (later Swifty) as a TV repairman charging an arm and a leg to fix the set of Percy (Shorty). Percy asks about the garbage disposal which when turned on starts the record player. And then that's turned off, the washing machine stops.
-->'''Ralph:''' (''observing inside the front loader'') Fabulous machine, mister. They really knew how to build 'em in the old days!\\
'''Percy:''' So how come it rips my clothes to shreds?

* ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'': Every time Uncle Phil gets in his head to fix something, trouble abounds, such as the time he tried to fix a stove and the result burned off Geoffrey's eyebrows. Trying to clear a phone of static worked, at the cost of its ability to make calls.

Not to be confused with WhatDoesThisButtonDo, where a person's inexperience with the device in question, rather than the device's faulty nature, causes the unexpected result. If a person doesn't know what a button does and presses it anyways, something unexpected happens, and [[HilarityEnsues hilarity ensues]], it's WhatDoesThisButtonDo. If the button is ''supposed'' to do one thing, but when pressed, does another, it's a D.I.Y. Disaster.

* In ''Film/BigFatLiar'', the protagonists purposely wire Marty Wolf's car to do this, with the brake making the car horn go off, and a lot of other stuff.
* ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. Han and Chewie's attempts to repair the ''Millennium Falcon'' provide some comedy in an otherwise very serious movie. The ''Falcon'' might be the fastest space freighter in the galaxy, but Han and Chewie (probably mostly Han) achieved this at the cost of hot-rodding the engines so hard that [[ExplosiveOverclocking they're constantly on the edge of a catastrophic failure]] every time they're run up to full power. This includes a scene where Han tells Chewie to power up a system that Han just repaired, and it proceeds to blow up in Han's face, causing him to frantically shout for Chewie to turn it off.

* ''Film/TheThreeStooges'': In the short ''A-Plumbing We Will Go'', Moe, Larry and Curley posed as plumbers to escape arrest, and are accidentally hired to fix a minor leak in a mansion. By the time they're done, they've left water coming out of everything '''but''' the faucets. And we do mean ''everything'', including the light fixtures, and even an early model Creator/DuMont television set.
