* ''WebVideo/{{QSMP}}'': An hour after the funeral of the three eggs, Slimecicle frequently visits and leaves Roier's house by breaking the window glass instead of using the door, causing Roier and Bobby to frequently knock him in various ways.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' has this as a common RunningGag, usually involving [[SuperWindowJump somebody jumping out of a school window.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': In "Toad Tax", Sprig exits the house through the window, despite Hop Pop's insistence on him using the door.

** Season 3 has the breakout of the Red Lotus. Despite there being a ''perfectly functional elevator'' down to P'Li's prison, Ming-Hua opts instead to tunnel into said prison and climb all the way back up with P'Li in tow.
--->'''P'Li:''' [[LampshadeHanging We ''could'' have just taken the elevator. Show-off.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' actually ''subvert'' this trope: the title characters watch a ''[=RoboCop=]''-like series and Butt-Head gets the idea to imitate that. Beavis runs into their house head first... and proceeds to knock himself out, upsetting Butt-Head that he screwed it up.

** In "Andreas' Fault" The Forever Knights blast a hole in a building where Ben is signing autographs despite a double door being not three feet from one side of the hole. They apparently felt that they needed to enter in formation.
** Referenced in "Fused" when bad guy Agregor crashes through the ceiling... twice. The second leading a rather annoyed Kevin to tell him there's a door.

* Nanny from ''WesternAnimation/CountDuckula'', in a lethal combination of absent-mindedness and not knowing her own [[SuperStrength strength]], much to the frustration of Duckula. Hell, in the first episode, she knocks on the door, ''then'' smashes through it.

'''Nanny:''' Oh but duckie-boo, [[ExactWords you said to come through the door!]]\\

-->'''Duke:''' I'll show myself out. ''(CRASH!)''

* An episode in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has Jack and Maddie bursting through the wall of Sam's bedroom in order to ask her and Tucker if they had seen Danny. They leave by busting open ''another'' part of the same wall. Knowing this to be a common occurrence, Maddie disappointingly tells Sam to send the bill their way.
* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d on ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''.

* Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse:
** Lampshaded by [[Characters/DCAUJoker The Joker]] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' when Batman and Robin crash through a glass ceiling to face him.

*** Bizarro isn't the smartest tool in the shed. He smashes through a wall to yoink [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]].

*** "Injustice for All" [[{{Narm}} ruins]] a BigDamnHeroes moment when five of the heroes bust into the villains' lair. Hawkgirl breaks down the door, Superman breaks the wall next to the door, and Green Lantern goes through the window next to the hole Superman made.
*** In "Fearful Symmetry", Green Arrow arranges for a security guard at STAR Labs to win a holiday, borrowing his keycard and posing as a replacement. Shortly afterwards the Question ambles up to the same door, studies the keycard lock, casually fetches a potted plant and throws it through the glass door.

* ''Film/MenWithBrooms'': Cutter is laying on his bed in his motel room while next door, his former [[CanadaEh curling]] team mate Lennox is trying to avoid being beaten into a new reincarnation by a very large, very angry loan shark. At one point, Lennox abruptly gets sent head-first through the wall over Cutter's bed, before being sent through the wall entierly, followed by the giant loan shark. Cutter ends up having to knock the loan shark out by [[TapOnTheHead smashing his head in with a curling stone]].[[note]]Not to worry, the loan shark is MadeOfIron and survives one or two more such curling stones to the head with no apparent long term effects. [[RuleOfFunny Because it's funny]].[[/note]]
