History Main / KickedOutOfHeaven

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'': After waking up in Heaven, Elfo receives a message from Bean and Luci that he needs to go to Hell so they can bring him back to life. Initially, Elfo asks God to cast him to Hell, but He refuses since Elfo is [[IncorruptiblePurePureness far too good of a person]]. Then he tries being rude enough to get kicked out, but God easily sees through it... at least until Elfo makes a passing rude comment towards a [[UnacceptableTargets severely mentally handicapped man]], which gets him immediately and ''brutally'' thrown to Hell. Although, the ending of the episode reveals that this was God's plan all along.

* Creator/TheBrothersGrimm: One fairy tale concerned a gambling addict named ''Die Spielhans'' (''Game Hans'') who is so addicted that he is refused entry into Heaven. He is allowed in Hell, but there he creates so much havoc by winning every gambling game that he is eventually thrown out of there as well, causing his soul to crack and have the pieces fly into all the gambling addicts alive today.

So a character is dead, and somehow, despite their many character flaws, they've made it to Heaven, Nirvana, Valhalla, whatever "the good place" is in this series. However, there were apparently some rather strict rules up there that ended up broken, so it's back down to Earth for them. Fortunately, since they're the nice guys, they frequently [[BackFromTheDead get to return to full life]] rather than being condemned to a miserable existence as a ghost or going even further down. This can alternatively also happen if the character proves to be TooSpicyForYogSothoth. A character may also invoke this in a bid to get themselves back to Earth or even Hell for whatever reason, usually by provoking RageAgainstTheHeavens.

* ''Film/{{Dogma}}''. Rufus is frequently tossed out of Heaven for being loud and annoying. He's also allowed back in after he's had a chance to cool off. His aid to Bethany in the film allows him back in a little earlier than usual.
* This happens to Lindsey's mother in ''Film/RapturePalooza'', who got sent back to Earth the day after being raptured for being too obnoxious and judgmental during her time in Heaven, leaving her miserable for the remainder of the film. Humorously shown [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4OAR22W7Sc here.]]

* ''ComicBook/SuskeEnWiske'': In ''De Sprietatoom'' the villain Savantas dies in the end and goes to Hell first, then Heaven, where he is kicked out because he needs to repent for his sins. Savantas does this by going back to professor Barabas and informs him that his invention he tried to steal all throughout the story (an atomic shrinking device) should in fact be destroyed because it can only do harm to people. Barabas agrees and does so, does earning Savantas his entry in Heaven.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Nero}}'': In ''De Paarse Futen'' Nero dreams he is refused entry in Heaven because "he is not wearing a shirt" (Nero was lost at the sea in an earlier scene and only wearing pants).

* Creator/TheBrothersGrimm: One fairy tale concerned a gambling addict named ''Die Spielhans'' (''Game Hans'') who is so addicted that he is refused entry in Heaven. He is allowed in Hell, but there he creates so much havoc by winning every gambling game that he is eventually thrown out of there as well, causing his soul to crack and have the pieces fly into all the gambling addicts alive today.

* Played for laugh in a ''WebVideo/{{Smosh}}'' sketch about the [[HellOfAHeaven bad parts of Heaven]]. One of them is that your clothes must be spotlessly white at all times, and the second they get dirty, you get sent straight to hell.

** Another fairy tale is about a soldier who received a magical BagOfHolding from St. Peter that can hold anything he wishes. After many adventures he dies and is eventually denied entry in Heaven. The soldier then gives back the bag, claiming it has "no longer use to him." When St. Peter takes the bag, however, the soldier says: "I wish '''I''' was in the bag", causing him to be in Heaven after all. St. Peter tries to get him out of the bag, but God appears and tells him to leave matters as they are.

* {{Discussed}} in ''Old Number Seven'' by Music/TheDevilMakesThree is about an alcoholic who is quite certain that his drinking will get him thrown out of heaven soon.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' Mell got assumed into Heaven by an angel who insisted, quite forcefully, on apologizing for the destruction some cherubim wrecked upon emerging from one of Dave's portals. She wasn't there long before she was thrown out, got plenty of business cards though, [[EvilLawyerJoke they really needed a lawyer]].

* A ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch has a guy who goes into Heaven and looks through a book detailing facts about bis life. he gets sent to Hell for using the book to only find disguisting facts like how long would a 6-foot wall made out of all of the poop he's produced run for.
