This is a {{Comedy}} trope that can be seen very often in WesternAnimation. A character comes across a geyser and becomes [[CuriousAsAMonkey innately curious]] about it as he looks directly into it, when the geyser suddenly erupts in a torrent of water that thrusts the character up into the air. This sometimes results in the victim bouncing around on the top of the spray.

This is often a mechanic in video games (usually of the Platformer genre), and the geysers end up being moving and/or slippery platforms.

* Subverted with the 1939 ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' short "Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise" in that this trope happens with oil instead of water. While the Stooges are cleaning out the water pump belonging to a kindly old lady, oil spurts out from the pipe. Curly sits on the pipe to plug it up – but is propelled into the air by the oil geyser a few seconds later. This gag was reused in a later short, "Oil's Well That Ends Well", in which Joe Besser stops up the oil gush instead. As footage from the former short was used here, careful observation will reveal that [[FakeShemp it's Curly on the oil geyser and not Joe]].

** ''VideoGame/MarioParty8'': Played with. The minigame Lean, Mean Ravine has two teams of players use motorboats to race across a mildly-flooded mountainous ravine with geysers that, instead of making them rise, knock them aside considerably. The key is to avoid these geysers and instead use the boosting ramps to gain speed and reach the goal first. The losing team ''is'' trapped upward by a geyser during the celebration of the winning team, however.
