Suddenly, a dinosaur from one of the films belonging to the collection infiltrates their mansion and crushes the woman with its hand. During this conversation, the woman is holding the collection's voucher. In this Italian advert, an attractive woman discusses the DVD 'Winter Collection' with another presenter.In this Indian ad for Chlormint, a pretty young woman gets her wish to be on a poster after an elevator accident.

She is then appropriately dubbed 'Pancake Peggy'. The pouch gets revenge by squashing her flat.

In the Caprisun juice ' Respect the Pouch' series of ads, a girl runs over her pouch with an RC car.However, as this can be a Death Trope, beware of spoilers. Compare with Hammered into the Ground, Butt Sticker, and Sleep Squashing. Overlaps with Paper People, which is either a natural state of the characters or the state that results from being Squashed Flat, and Construction Vehicle Rampage if done by a steamroller, which is a common way for invoking this.

May sometimes be followed up by another Amusing Injury gag, like Accordion Man (if the crushed character quickly springs up), Be the Ball (usually if the character is crushed into a coin-like shape, with a short inflation sequence inbetween the two) and so on. If portrayed realistically, it can lead to Cruel and Unusual Death.Ĭan be the result of Trampled Underfoot or a Crush Parade when this trope is exaggerated. Often, all it takes is another character flapping the flattened character around like a beach towel or inflating the character like a balloon to get him or her to return to his/her normal state.Īlthough this trope is mostly an Animation Trope, it sometimes creeps into Live-Action TV shows and films with a more 'cartoonish' feel. Unlike in Real Life, these injuries are hardly ever fatal, and like most Amusing Injuries, are healed in just five seconds. While in this state, the character becomes incredibly light and can be lifted, manipulated, rolled up, or folded by another character. The resulting injury has the character flattened down to a paper-thin state. (Literally so, in the case Ass Kicks You where the victim is sat on). Often, characters will be Squashed Flat by some heavy object landing on their head, or by going really fast into an immovable object such as a wall, or a big and heavy character will squash a smaller character and leave them stuck to their bodies like Butt Stickers. They can become an Accordion Man, or this trope can occur. And if a character ever suffers from the dreaded Anvil on Head, one of several things can happen. Porky, Quiet, Please (1947), 'The Thing on the Fourble Board'Ĭartoon characters can survive a lot of things.
