** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'': All tablecloths in the game series can be yanked by Luigi's vacuum-cleaner.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioParty'': In the Rhythm minigame Clearing the Table, each player has a table topped with a tablecloth of their player color, and a pile of glasses are dropped atop the table in time with the music. When the pile is complete, on the next beat, the players must quickly pull their Joy-Con toward themself to yank the tablecloth out from under the glasses. If they yank with the correct timing, the cloth will come out without disturbing the glasses at all, and that player will earn more points. Players can anticipate the beat they must yank the cloth by noting the rhythm at which the glasses land on each other.

* The Series/MythBusters took on a viral video showing this trick being done on a banquet table, with a motorcycle. [[spoiler:It didn't work.]] Note that the video had a much, ''much'' longer tablecloth than most versions of this stunt.

It is later shown how [[spoiler:such tricks are frequently fabricated for the camera by using a pane of glass over the tablecloth but under the set and decorations to keep the latter stable as the cloth is yanked out from under both the items on the table and the glass holding them up.]]

* Death does this in ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'', in which it's a PhlebotinumAnalogy for what the History Monks do -- the table is still laid, but the tablecloth can now be reused. Susan points out that the salt's fallen over and the tablecloth is stained, and Death replies, "[[AC:Yes. As metaphors go it is rather good, don't you think?]]"
