23In slapstick and[=/=]or cartoony works, if someone is going to be on fire, chances are this fire is going to be very brief, and within that, chances that it's going to be isolated to their rear ends.
24
25Expect them to be [[PainPoweredLeap launched skyward at an alarming rate]]. It will usually be put out by the victim sitting down in the nearest body of water and breathing a sigh of relief.
26
27Often used in games as a comical player death, but often used in artwork or animation as a precursor to exposure or any other humiliating mishap. Example being of a character trying to act cool just after getting burned only to turn around and reveal their pants have burnt up enough to expose their butt.
28
29See also LiteralAssKicking. Compare FartsOnFire and PainToTheAss. Subtrope of AmusingInjuries and {{Joke of the Butt}}; sister trope to ThumbtackOnTheChair, ShotInTheAss, and ButtBiter. Not to be confused with ToastedBuns, which refers to [[ConvectionSchmonvection why placing a jet pack exhaust near someone's rear end would CAUSE a rump roast]].

95-->'''Dizzy the Vulture:''' LookBehindYou, chum!\

119* ''Film/JamesBond''
120** ''Film/{{Octopussy}}''. During the fight in an Indian marketplace, Bond has to [[AgonyOfTheFeet flee across a pit of firewalking coals]]. Then a knife-wielding goon attacks, so Bond knocks him back onto the coals. Being more of a wuss than our hero, the goon runs off yelping in pain from his smoldering ass.
121** During the sauna room fight in ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'', Xenia Onatopp gets her buns steamed when Bond slams her cheeks first into a hot radiator.

131* In ''Film/ThePitAndThePendulum1991'', the Inquisition attempts to torture Antonio by strapping him to a metal chair and lighting a fire under it. Antonio resists the torture and even laughs at how feeble it is.[[note]]Possibly {{Justified}} as Antonio is a baker and so is used to being in cramped, hot spaces.[[/note]] Assuming there is something wrong with the chair, Gomez unstraps to Antonio to examine it. Antonio immediately makes a break for freedom, shoving the captain of the guards into the chair as he does so. The captain immediately leaps to his feet; clutching his buttocks and yelping in pain.
132* ''Film/RevengeOfThePinkPanther''. When the Hong Kong fireworks factory starts exploding, crime boss Philippe Douvier ducks under a table and is surprised when his former mistress Simone, whom he tried to have murdered back in France, joins him.
133-->'''Douvier:''' Simone?! What the hell are you doing here?!
134-->'''Simone:''' I'm waiting for the firecrackers to go off.
135-->'''Douvier:''' What firecrackers?
136-->'''Simone:''' The ones I just stuck in your pants.

141* This happens to Kirk Douglas in ''Film/TheVillain''.
142* Yosemite Sam in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': "My biscuits are burnin'!"
143** Another ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit'' example: In the "Somethin's Cookin'" short that starts off the movie, Roger is trapped in an oven set to "Volcano Heat". After he becomes "Well Done", he shoots out of the oven with his behind on fire and runs around the kitchen in circles leaving a trail of smoke.

145[[/folder]]
146

149* It doesn't actually happen, but in ''Literature/HarryPotter'', Mad-Eye Moody warns Harry not to put his wand in his back pocket because he might set it on fire. "Better wizards than you have lost buttocks that way!"
150* Bilbo Baggins in ''Literature/TheHobbit'', although it was made more explicit in the [[WesternAnimation/TheHobbit animated adaptation]] than the original book:

157'''Sidney:''' [[{{Pun}} Have a blast]], Finny baby.
158[[/folder]]
159
160[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
161* ''Series/AlmaGêmea'' has Vittorio sitting Olivia down on the stove during their makeout session, setting her dress on fire and burning her ass.
162* An episode of ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' had Don Ramón trying to prepare a glue on a stove. At the end, he was knocked onto the stove and ''forced'' to stay sitting on it by an angry Professor Jirafales.
163* In a ''Series/HorribleHistories'' sketch, a Victorian man's trousers have caught fire. The funny part isn't only that his bottom is on fire, it's that any of the words ''another'' Victorian man is trying to use to inform him of this, even "trousers" and "legs", are considered too rude, so all the man who's on fire is doing is [[SkewedPriorities reprimanding the other man for his language.]] At the end, he finally realizes what's happening and yells "My trousers! My legs! My BOTTOM!"
164* In the ''Series/LALaw'' episode "Smoke Gets in Your Thighs," Murray Melman (Roxanne's father, played by the late Vincent Gardenia) is hired by [=McKenzie=]-Brackman to paint the office's bathroom. After he's finished, he unwisely pours a bucket of thinner down the toilet. Douglas comes in, compliments Murray's work, sits down on the john, lights up a cigar....and HilarityEnsues. Murray [[HumiliationConga adds insult to injury]] when he visits Douglas in the burn unit and tries to lighten things up by telling jokes like, "You didn't blow your top....you blew your bottom!"
165%%* ''Series/RedDwarf'' did this with the Justice Zone episode.
166* In the ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'' episode, "Mr. Conductor's Fourth of July", Billy catches a rabbit in a trap he set in his garden and plans to set him free. Before he does, he tells the children a very old story about a rabbit who set a trap and caught the Sun in it. When the rabbit set the Sun free, he got too close to it and it singed the fur on his tail, which is why all rabbits have short tails.
167* At the end of an episode of ''Series/TheWoodwrightsShop'' featuring Williamsburg blacksmiths, one of them gets Roy Underhill in the rear end with one of his tools... which had just been sitting in a fire moments before.
168[[/folder]]
169
170[[folder:Music]]
171* In The Stringini Bros' song "[[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Dora]] No More", one of the deaths involves Dora [[ShakingTheRump shaking her rear]] over an active volcano. Unsurprisingly, she catches fire and falls right in.
172* Music/MrBungle's "My Ass Is on Fire".
173** Also said verbatim in "Squeeze me Macaroni."
174[[/folder]]
175
176[[folder:Video Games]]
177* In ''VideoGame/AggressorsOfDarkKombat'', there's a Molotov cocktail. If you throw it and you or your opponent steps on it, you'll be hopping around with your rear on fire.
178* ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'' 3 has this happen to both the boy and girl protagonists. This can happen from many different situations, but all with the same effect of [[PainPoweredLeap leaping into the air]] while taking damage and trailing smoke from behind. They can both suffer a rump roast from lava, fire, hot water in the hot springs, freezing ice, and will also go through the same damage animation getting [[PainToTheAss stabbed in the butt]] by spikes.
179* The platform game ''VideoGame/BabyJo'': If your baby loses all her health in a fire, she launches screaming to the sky with her diaper on fire.
180* When you let the fire imps in ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' touch you, Conker's tail will catch on fire for a few seconds.
181* Same for VideoGame/CrashBandicoot in ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3Warped''.
182** Also true for Coco in ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy''.
183* It happens in ''Franchise/{{Digimon}} Battle Spirits''. If you get hit with the fire throw items or get hit by Impmon's fireballs, you'll get your rear set on fire.
184* Same for Donkey Kong in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongJungleBeat''.
185* Getting hit by fireballs in ''VideoGame/EryisAction'' will cause Eryi to get her butt burned, during her death animation.
186* This is shown happening to [[ButtMonkey Meg]] in the background of the cover art for the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' Video Game. (It even says across the bottom: "It's too HOT for TV!")
187* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' did this early in the game; after blowing up one of the Mako reactors, AVALANCHE makes a speedy exit. The other members make decent exits, but Wedge comically runs out with his ass on fire, trying to put it out.
188* In ''VideoGame/AHatInTime'', falling in lava or getting burned by fire causes Hat Kid to bounce upwards with her butt on fire, all while taking damage and trailing smoke.
189* The Flash game ''VideoGame/KamikazePigs'' has a late-game upgrade named after this trope. It causes the pants of parachuting fighter pilots to explode on contact with the ground.
190* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'', hitting Captain Hook with fire will give him a case of this. While he's weak against it, it's actually not a very good idea, as he runs around so quickly that hitting him becomes a chore, and he'll damage anyone he collides with. It becomes more viable in the future games he's fought in, as he frantically hops up and down in place instead.
191** Also, one fire spell you can use in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'' has the description 'Donald flubs a fire spell'. When you use that spell, Donald came running around with his rear literally on fire, damaging enemies he touches.
192** The Meow Wow and the various Kyroo dream eaters in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' will suffer a brief case of this if they get hit with a fire attack, leaving them open to further abuse. This predictably presents issues for them if they go up against dream eaters like the Ryu Dragon that use the fire element in almost all of their attacks.
193** And now Sora himself gets to suffer from it in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' if he comes to contact with any type of fire.
194* In ''VideoGame/LegendOfKay'', Kay will be running around with his tail on fire for a short time when he is hit by the dragon's fire.
195* From ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series:
196** Some flame attacks in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'' would do this to Link and force him to run around at top speed.
197** Falling into lava in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' will have Link react this way. The last is particularly hilarious since ''Skyward Sword'' has a much more serious Link compared to the others.
198** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': When thrown into the lava during his MiniBoss fight, Dangoro leaps every time he touches it. Even the ongoing BattleThemeMusic lends itself to a VariableMix to contribute to the comedy of the scene.
199** Jumping into lava without the Goron Locket in ''VideoGame/CadenceOfHyrule'' will lead to this and this time other characters like Zelda, Cadence or Impa can get their butts burned as well.
200* In ''VideoGame/TheLEGONinjagoMovieVideogame'', hitting an enemy with Fire Spinjitzu will set their rear on fire.
201* ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' has this apply to any Burned entities, complete with running around aimlessly with their cans on fire; if they touch any other combatant at this time, the fire spreads, potentially leading to everyone on the field getting a dose of this. Funnily enough, both this and HarmlessFreezing can be applied at once, as the Freeze status is restricted to encasing the victim's head in ice.
202* While only in the manual, Samus gets her butt on fire in the official art for the original ''VideoGame/{{Metroid|1}}''. While this is an increasingly common gag in Nintendo games, Samus may very well be the first instance of a Nintendo character getting her butt burned.
203* The "burnt" condition in ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' inflicts this to the Miis.
204* Peppino from ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'' gets his butt on fire when touching boiling pizza sauce.
205* Happens to [[BigBad the Dark Prince/Satan]] in ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoSun'' after his MotiveRant of wanting to grow the sun to create an endless summer outrages Arle, leading her to nail him in the rump with a fire spell.
206* ''VideoGame/RadiataStories'' has a status effect called Blazed. Your rear will be on fire and you'll take minor damage similar to poison.
207* In most of the ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' games, if you fall into lava you'll shoot out with your butt on fire.
208* In ''VideoGame/TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland'', when Guybrush [[spoiler:launches himself out of a cannon to reach Monkey Island from his ship]], he lands with his butt on fire. Herman Toothrot wanders by and remarks idly, "By the way, you might want to think about putting that fire out. Somebody could be hurt."
209* ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'': With the titular character, with the tail instead of the "butt".
210** While Sly suffers from this in the trilogy, all playable characters can catch their butts on fire in ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'' surprisingly, even Carmelita.
211* Spyro does this to some enemies on the original ''VideoGame/{{Spyro the Dragon|1998}}''. They are armored in front, but you can have Spyro toast them from behind. They'll go running off holding their bottoms and making Spyro catch up to flame them again for the kill.
212** This is how Spyro himself reacts to touching lava from [[VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage the second game]] onwards.
213** In ''[[VideoGame/SpyroAHerosTail A Hero's Tail]]'', this is how you defeat Gnasty Gnorc. When his weapon gets stuck in the ground and he stops to focus on pulling it out, Spyro runs up and flames his behind, causing him to jump and grab his bottom. You can also charge his behind, but it's very precise and you may run out of time, so most players simply flame him.
214** In the Cloud Temples level of ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'', a Wizard sets some trolls on fire, causing them to either run around or jump in place.
215* When Fox is exposed to fire in ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'', his tail will burn for a few seconds.
216* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
217** If Mario touches lava in the ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' titles (composed of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros1'' ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2'', ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' and ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'', all of which being a OneHitKill), ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' titles, he grabs his now-smoking butt and yelps in pain. He sometimes leaps into the air comically when it happens, too. However, he will not do this when he visits Corona Mountain in ''Sunshine'', as falling into that lava is instant death.
218** ''VideoGame/PaperMario'': Touching the lava or a Fire Bar in ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' not only takes away one hit point, it also sends Mario back where he started. Also in ''The Thousand Year Door'', if Mario is at one hit point left and he touches anything fiery, it's GameOver. As for Bowser, during the Chapter 6-7 interlude where he traverses a platformer castle level based on the castle levels of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 the very first Super Mario Bros. game]], touching the lava sends him back where he started, though he carries infinite life.
219** In ''Galaxy'', the boss fights against Bowser give him a taste of this too, with the sequence requiring Mario to get Bowser to stomp on panels of glass which then crack and expose lava, [[AttackTheTail causing Bowser to burn his tail and run desperately around waiting for it to cool down, making him vulernable to a spin attack by Mario]].
220** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAru-TLguCM&ab_channel=ShadowOfMyles If Mario gets stuck]] under the rolling log or the tilting platforms in LethalLavaLand, the moving platforms in "Bowser in the Fire Sea", or the ramp to the Ice Bully in Snowman's Land, the sound he makes when his butt is on fire plays in a rather distorted and rapid manner even during the Bowser laugh fade-out. While it's technically a glitch, it still sounds ''creepy''.
221** This also happens to Yoshi in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'' if he falls into lava.
222** Taken to the extreme in ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'', where touching lava causes Mario's [[ManOnFire entire body]] to light on fire, even ''[[AshFace charring him]]'' when he touches solid ground!
223** In ''VideoGame/MarioSportsMix'', if you get burned by a Podoboo or Bowser's special ability, this will happen.
224** In ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'', hitting a fire obstacle, getting hit by Mario or Luigi's fireballs or the Thunderbolt will cause the character on the back of the Kart to get their behind lit on fire and unable to use any item they're holding while they put it out.
225** One of the moves in ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' involves Mario setting Luigi's pants on fire to dash at high speeds. In the sequels, the Burn [[StatusEffects status effect]] prevents the affected bro from jumping— he's too busy trying to put out the seat of his trousers.
226** Fire Wario of ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' series, before being completely engulfed in flames.
227** This is also what happens to Mario in the fangame ''VideoGame/SuperMario63'' when he touches lava or fire.
228** ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' loves this trope, with Mario, Peach and company frequently suffering from this countless times in every game. Notable examples include the Lava Bubble capsule in ''VideoGame/MarioParty5'', which has the characters intentionally inflict this on themselves to advance 10 spaces; and Bowser's Peculiar Peak in ''VideoGame/MarioPartyIslandTour'', a board that forces everyone to run around with their butts on fire, every single turn.
229** Interestingly enough, touching GrimyWater in ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand'' or ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' causes this, but with [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience purple fire.]]
230** In the ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' games, hitting a Prickly Goomba with a fireball will cause their shell to explode and the Goomba inside to shoot out with its butt on fire.
231** Getting hit by Mario's Hyper Strike in ''[[Videogame/MarioStrikers Mario Strikers Battle League]]'' will cause Wario, DK and Daisy to run or in Daisy's case, frantically hop around the field, with their butts on fire. Boom Boom also suffers this, when he fails to block said Hyper Strike.

264** In the 1937 short ''Hawaiian Holiday'', at one point WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck starts dancing with a grass skirt, so naturally when he dances too close to their campfire, it sets his butt on fire, forcing him to make a run for it towards a pool to put it out.
265** In ''Chef Donald'', Donald decides to cook some waffles after hearing a recipe for it on the radio. However, he accidentally pours in a bottle of rubber cement instead of baking powder, resulting in a sticky mess that gives him grief throughout the short.

266** In "Bearly Asleep", WesternAnimation/HumphreyTheBear sneaks into Donald's cabin so he can hibernate in Donald's bed. When Donald finds out, he places his oil lamp under the bed, resulting in Humphrey's butt being torched.
