* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6igIWJrw9cc This commercial]] for ''VideoGame/TazInEscapeFromMars'' has a family in a trailer park that was ravaged by a tornado being interviewed. The parents say that they never saw the tornado coming, as it seemed to have come out of nowhere. The announcer then tells the viewers that the alleged tornado was really Taz, and the destruction of the trailer park was the result of the family's son playing ''Escape From Mars''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}'': In "Trailer Park", [[HalfWittedHillbilly Bobby Possumcods]] finds out he's the legal owner of Brickleberry National Park (thanks to a Confederate ancestor), and promptly evicts the rangers before turning it into a trailer park. However, as the park fills up with more and more white trash assholes, Bobby promptly gets sick of them himself, and gives the park back. When asked how to get rid of the other hillbillies, Bobby says they just have to wait, since trailer parks attracts tornadoes like magnets. The rangers first try to fake a tornado, which fails but turns out to have been unecessary, as a real tornado shows up right behind it and wipes out the trailer park.

Tornadoes always seem to hit trailer parks. In RealLife, they're no more vulnerable to tornadoes than major cities, as the odds of a twister hitting any one particular area are relatively low. However, mobile homes are lightweight for buildings and not anchored to the ground, making them more vulnerable to a tornado's fury. (Some studies say that tornadoes tend to touch down just outside of cities because of the landscape change, and that's [[TemptingFate not an uncommon location for a trailer park]], but they still don't specifically go after mobile homes)

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Colonel Homer" has two scenes in a trailer park. In the first, there's a sign reading "14 days without a tornado." In the second, the sign's been updated to "2 days" and the park is littered with debris. The tornado goes unmentioned, as if it's business as usual in a trailer park.
