History Main / ExcuseMeComingThrough

* The "Some days you just can't [[BombDisposal get rid of a bomb]]" sequence in 1966's ''BatmanTheMovie'', as seen on [=YouTube=] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4v1hAnfy1I here, particularly between 1:20 and 1:30]]. Justified as Batman is carrying a large sputtering bomb.
* ''Film/MissionImpossible 3'' does this near the end of the movie.
* ''TheBluesBrothers''. Most notably in the mall chase, shown with hood cameras.

* FinalFantasyIX; [[spoiler: In the final cutscene, when Zidane reveals himself, alive and well, to [[strike:Queen Garnet]] Dagger, she runs down the stairs and tries to make her way through the crowd [[LastMinuteHookup to be with Zidane again]], even ditching her Falcon Claw pendant and crown.]]

* Wilbur the albatross does this in ''TheRescuersDownUnder'' when flying through a flock of seagulls while carrying the two mice. "Excuse me, pardon me,coming through,mice on board".

* [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Ford Prefect]] works his way through a crowd surrounding a giant robot who is resting on a beach by shouting about a scientific breakthrough. When the police show up behind him shouting about a break in, he tosses Walkmen into the crowd so that they won't make way again.

* ''{{Drowtales}}'' does this subtly [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1127 here]] (note someone hanging from the staircase in the distance at the bottom of the page).

* Hilariously used in ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', when Niomi is trying to teach Florence that she may need to shove through a packed crowd to get on the train. Florence suggests politeness may work; Niomi sarcastically shouts "My friend Florence would like to board the train, please make a path". And can't believe it when it works (the large robot population quite likes Florence).

* Whether on the road and on foot, you can get in a lot of trouble for not moving out of the way of EmergencyService vehicles or personnel as they rush past you to aid or subdue someone or something. The ExcuseMeComingThrough bit is mostly exemplified by some glaring flashing lights, an unignorable siren and optimally even a big written warning that should leave nothing to the imagination.

* ZebraGirl has a scene where Jack asks Wally to clear a way through the crowd, resulting in the same exchange as in the page quote, except with Wally adding the line [[Film/ThePrincessBride "That was a great movie."]]
* Done memorably in ''ExterminatusNow'' by [[SociopathicHero Lothar]], who bellows "OUTTA THE WAY! [[UnstoppableRage ANGRY]] [[AxeCrazy KILLER]] [[{{Cyborg}} CYBORG]] COMING THROUGH!!"
* ''SchlockMercenary'':
** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-03-19 Brilliant. It's a if you knew exactly how this "random crowd" of fellow soldiers would react.]]
** And used earlier in the same storyline, along with the typical civilian reaction to [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-02-11 the military version]]. [[spoiler: Except Kathryn probably knew exactly what it meant, but was covering for the runner]]

* Horribly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in the first arc of SupremePower; Hyperion is chasing a criminal with roughly the same powerset as he, and the criminal dives flying through a mall. And everybody he comes across he throws left and right through the air with the intent that Hyperion would need to slow down to catch them, [[CompleteMonster not caring if they die or not]].

* In the 1987 film ''Gardens of Stone'', JamesEarlJones plays a [[SergeantRock lifer Army sergeant]] who when moving through a crowd is fond of saying, in that inimitable James Earl Jones way, "'''''Make a hole and make it wide!'''''"

* In ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', Andre the Giant splits the crowd because... well, he's Andre the Giant.

* Memorably subverted in ''BuckGodotZapgunForHire'''s "[=PSmith=]" [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20070712 storyline]]:

* [[SchlockMercenary '''Brilliant.''']] [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-03-19 It's a if you knew exactly how this "random crowd" of fellow soldiers would react.]]

Can also be a StockPhrase, in which case, if the speaker is in the military, he will likely shout ''"Make a hole!"''[[hottip:*:particularly older servicepeople, as nowadays the phrase is considered offensive with the increasing integration of women into the armed services]]

* The memorable [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome Wheelchair Race]] against PaulNewman through the hospital in ''Film/SilentMovie''. Since it's through a ''hospital'', there are quite a few scenes of people rushing to get out of the way. The highlight being a pair of orderlies with a man on the stretcher tossing him over the side of a ledge in their haste to get out of the way.

* Done memorably in ''ExterminatusNow'' by [[HeroicSociopath Lothar]], who bellows "OUTTA THE WAY! [[UnstoppableRage ANGRY]] [[AxeCrazy KILLER]] [[{{Cyborg}} CYBORG]] COMING THROUGH!!"

* The "Some days you just can't [[BombDisposal get rid of a bomb]]" sequence in the 1966 ''[[BatmanTheMovie Batman]]'' movie, as seen on [=YouTube=] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4v1hAnfy1I here, particularly between 1:20 and 1:30]]. Justified as Batman is carrying a large sputtering bomb.

* ''TheDarkKnight'': Batman drives through a pair of glass doors on the Batpod and proceeds to drive down a narrow (for vehicles) hallway beyond, causing the people in it to jump/run out of the way.

* ''GrandTheftAuto'' games are made of these practically.
