Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A door is opened and water blasts out from behind it.

* '''Straight''': Bob opens a door and is hit by a wave of water.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob opens a door and is submerged as an entire ocean rapidly floods his house.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob opens a door and a small puddle drips out, forming around his feet.
* '''Justified''': Bob left a tap running inside the room.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': Bob opens a door, but no water comes out.
* '''Double Subverted''': Then suddenly, a wall in the room breaks open and water rushes out from behind it.
* '''Parodied''': Bob opens a door and a flood of Alices pours out.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob opens a door, but no water comes out. Then a wall breaks open and water floods out. Then the water evaporates. Then the water condenses again and drenches Bob.
* '''Averted''': Bob made sure that no water appliances were still running before he left the room.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': “How did that even happen? There was a space under the door!”
* '''Invoked''': Bob wants to play a prank on Alice, so an hour before she has a shower, he leaves the bathroom tap going so she’ll be hit by a flood when she opens the door.
* '''Exploited''': It’s an extremely hot day, so Bob is refreshingly cooled down when the blast hits him.
* '''Defied''': Bob opens the door, but instantly closes the door when he sees the water, stopping most of it from flowing out.
* '''Discussed''': “Don’t leave the tap on! You’re gonna end up opening the door later and it’s gonna all flood out!”
* '''Conversed''': “Hey, remember when that guy in that one movie opened the door to his house and got knocked down by water?”
* '''Deconstructed''': All of the water drains out through the bottom of the door before Bob opens it.
* '''Reconstructed''': ???
* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob is propelled against a wall when the water hits, and the next shot we see of him is him dripping with water and wearing an angry expression.
* '''Played for Drama''': Bob drowns to death when the water floods out.
