* ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' would most likely be the TropeCodifier, as many, many of the skits ended up with someone being chased by an ever growing line of irate bystanders.

* Happens twice to pre-frosh character Tom in ''Film/{{PCU}}'', the first time even {{Exploited|Trope}}. Then later, it happens to one of the antagonists.

This is when for some reason a character is chased by a large handful of other characters. In animated shows this can often have a freeze frame shot. Sometimes a show even [[ChasedOffIntoTheSunset ends an episode on this]].

* In ''Webcomic/{{Greg}}'', Ted streaks across a college campus naked, as everyone chases him for disguising himself as a phony professor [[http://gregcomic.com/2011/09/14/storyline-back-to-campus-part-3/ here.]]

* In ''Film/LovePotionNumberNine'', the female antagonist, figuring more is better, overdoses on the titular love-potion, which causes every man to hear her voice to fall in love with her, and every woman to hear her voice to hate her. And then she goes out in public...

* A scene in ''Film/SchoolOfRock'', after the parents take Dewey's remark about touching something in their kids literally.

* A frequent ending in ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer'', even after he'd spent the entire comic effortlessly slaying equal to larger numbers of better armed people.

* Happens on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' a couple times, most of which involve Homer and/or Bart (cf. "Bart vs. Australia," when everyone in the family is being chased by an array of living Australian stereotypes and characters -- including a character from the movie ''Mad Max'' -- because Bart refuses to get kicked in the butt as part of his punishment for prank-calling an Australian boy, "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner" when all the restaurateurs and chefs of Springfield chase after Homer after Lisa saves him from eating a dangerous eclair, "Saddlesore Galactica" where jockey-sized trolls chase after Homer after Homer breaks his promise to throw the horse race so they can win, and "Missionary Impossible" where PBS characters chase after Homer after he tricks them into thinking he's pledging $10,000 to the network).

A SisterTrope to EscalatingChase (just that this trope doesn't require escalation, while that trope doesn't require the bulk of the cast).

* In ''Love Potion No. 9'', the female antagonist, figuring more is better, overdoses on the titular love-potion, which causes every man to hear her voice to fall in love with her, and every woman to hear her voice to hate her. And then she goes out in public...

** Recent events have taken this to the next (il)logical step, with the entire ''school'' after him.

* The ''FamilyGuy'' episode "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" [[labelnote:*]]The episode where Peter goes to a women's retreat after getting in trouble for telling sexist jokes to a woman at work and becoming so in touch with his feminine side that he doesn't know what it's like to be masculine anymore[[/labelnote]] had Cleveland take Peter to The Million Man March, as Cleveland believes that being a man means learning respect and love for his own gender. Peter (who has been warped by feminism) believes that if men were more caring to women, society would be a better place and decides to get on the mike and let it be known. However, because Peter is a white guy angrily accusing all the men in the audience for causing society's ills and the fact that the audience consists of militant black men, this leads to this trope and MistakenForRacist in the form of an overhead shot of Peter getting chased by everyone at the Million Man March.
* Happens to the titular heroes in ''TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'', from three sources. Crazed Japanese schoolgirls were pursuing Beast Boy, Cyborg was hounded by sushi chefs, and Robin was chased by...[[ItMakesSenseInContext the local authorities]]. Eventually, there was a mass convergence.
* Happens in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster The Ticket Master]]". When everyone realizes that Twilight Sparkle has tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala, they all chase her trying to ask her to take them with her, complete with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of "[[Series/TheBennyHillShow Yakety Sax]]".
