History Main / Egging

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat frequently spend their Halloweens egging (and toilet-papering) houses. And the short [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/costumecommercial.html "Costume Commercial"]] features a "deluxe decoy poncho"--it's completely clear and covered in fake egg yolks.

A common "prank" performed by punk kids in media (particularly during a HalloweenEpisode that makes mention of "Mischief Night") is throwing rotten eggs at people, their cars, or their houses. This can end up damaging peoples' property at worst, and making them smell bad at best.

* One ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch that took place in [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 Eternia]], had Skeletor rent part of his castle to some frat boys, who use it to host [[WildTeenParty raging keggers]] on an almost nightly basis. When he finally gets fed up with them, he says that there's anther fraternity that claims to party even harder, and the tenants leave for some WackyFratboyHijinx, and when Prince Adam gets hit in the face by an egg, he politely tells them "we'll be right down." Later, as Skeletor sits in the office of the bank's loan officer, he chuckles when he reads an article with the headline "Fraternity Corpses Turn up in River!"

* In the ''Series/That70sShow'' episode "Halloween," after Kitty and Red finish reminiscing about how they found out she was pregnant with Lori on a Halloween party, some kids, off-screen, mad that Kitty gave them raisins instead of candy, throw eggs that land on the windshield or Red's car. Red politely excuses himself from Kitty, and goes after the vandals.

** At the beginning of "Threehouse of horror II," Homer is at home watching TV and eating the candy meant for trick or treaters, when [[TheBully Jimbo and Kerny]] knock on the door. When Homer refuses to give them candy on account of their lack of costumes, they threaten to egg the house. Even after Homer gives them everything they egg the house and smash the Jack-o lanterns.

* In the ending to an episode of ''Series/GilmoreGirls'', Lorelai and Rory cover Jess's new car with eggs that Rory took from Sherry's babyshower.

* In ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'' Charlie and Memo try to egg [[AlphaBitch Tina]]'s car as revenge for mocking the former's dead father. When they try teaching it to [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Bumblebee]], [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill he ends up completely totaling it]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'': The Bowler Hat Guy's initial plan to get back at the Robinson family is throwing eggs at their house while shouting "You stink, Robinson!"

* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons The Simpsons: Virtual Bart]]'': The second half of the Vandal level involves Bart throwing eggs at his classmates so that he'll look good in his school photo by comparison (the first half involves him [[ProducePelting throwing tomatoes]]). The game ends when Bart runs out of eggs (or tomatoes), time runs out, or if he hits one of the adults (though he can hit Principal Skinner while he's crouching).

* ''Disney/MeetTheRobinsons'': The Bowler Hat Guy's initial plan to get back at the Robinson family is throwing eggs at their house while shouting "You stink, Robinson!"

* In March 2019, Australian neo-Nazi politician Fraser Anning had an egg thrown at his head by Melbourne teenager William Connolly over Anning's controversial statements on the Mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, the previous day; Anning responded by ''punching'' Connolly in the face twice. The public sided with Connolly, who dubbed him "Eggboy", with a petition for Anning's expulsion reaching over a million signatures in just 72 hours. Anning was thrown out of parliament in the following election two months later.

* In some parts of the world like Latin America, this is a tactic used by delinquents to steal people on cars or to steal cars, throwing eggs to the windshields, so the driver uses the cleaner, making worse the stain and necessarily stopping the vehicle to clean it manually, occasion used by the delinquents to take over the car or the driver.

** At the beginning of "Threehouse of horror II," Homer is at home watching TV and eating the candy meant for trick or treaters, when [[TheBully Jimbo and Kerny]] knock on the door. When homer refuses to give them candy on account of their lack of costumes, they threaten to egg the house. Even after Homer gives them everything they egg the house and smash the Jack-o lanterns.

* In 2014, Justin Bieber had to pay over $80,000 in restitution after he egged a neighbor's mansion. (And at that he was lucky; the eggs did enough damage to the mansion he ''could'' have been charged with a felony, instead of a misdemeanor.)
