*In a ''SuperSentai'' teamup special, [[TokusouSentaiDekaranger Tetsu]] is undercover and really, ''really'' doesn't need [[GoGoSentaiBoukenger Eiji]] revealing that he's SPD. So Tetsu pretends that Eiji is an enemy, and ''pitches him out of a window'' to shut him up. It's even more hilarious than it sounds.

The sad fate of many a {{Mook}}. Mostly because it looks really [[RuleOfCool cool]]. A sufficiently BadAss characters punches, throws, or in any other way applies the force necessary in order to toss someone else through a window. A loud clangy window with shards rippling everywhere.

* There are at least two notable [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrations_of_Prague Defenestrations of Prague]], the second of which is the TropeNamer since the word "defenestration" itself was coined to describe the event. There's at least one more (when the DirtyCommies showed up); apparently, Czechs don't believe that it's a revolution until somebody gets thrown out a window.
** ...They threw the city out a window? What, the whole city? This is worse than the Diet of Worms...or even the [[{{Discworld}} Diet of Bugs]]...

** It's usually a big no-no because it makes it look scripted (which it more-or-less is) rather than free-flowing (which is how it's supposed to look.) They got away with it because Kurt Angle had quite obviously been trying to do just this, rather than a spur-of-the-moment thing. Adding to the brutality, he was throwing Shane with a belly-to-belly suplex, which is done by flinging someone upside-down over your head. So when Shane bounced off the plexiglass, he landed on the back of his head and neck, twice, ''before'' the glass broke. Then got sent through two more panes.
