Wild Teen Parties in Western Animation.
- The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: Jimmy Neutron threw one of those too. The party ended in the two ways: Goddard cleaned the house and Jimmy's parents didn't notice, but they forgot the velociraptor in the closet, which his dad finds.
- In The Amazing World of Gumball, the party actually isn't wild until the school's principal and teacher crash it.
- In American Dragon: Jake Long episode "The Halloween Bash", while his grandpa takes Haley out Trick-or-Treating, Jake decides to throw a party at the shop and invites both humans and magical creatures, reasoning that since it's Halloween, the humans will just think the creatures are wearing elaborate costumes. In a rare twist, it's NOT Lao Shi who discovers the party, but the World Dragon Council doing a surprise inspection of Jake's training. They take the party as a dereliction of Jake's Dragon duties, and strip him of his powers as punishment...which becomes a problem when the Huntsclan captures the Council, and Jake has to save them. Which he does, by bringing the party to the Huntsclan's hideout!
- As Told by Ginger:
- Macie finds herself hosting a pool party against her will for the high school French class — because she accidentally revealed that her parents spent a lot of time out of town. The party isn't too wild but the girls have to deal with two Alpha Bitches trying to de-bikini Courtney.
- Ginger attempts to invoke this in another episode to help a new girl feel welcome in town. Of course everyone thinks the girl is weird because she lives in a funeral home and nobody comes — that is until a few high school kids hear it's in a funeral home and think it's incredibly cool.
- Ginger and friends crash one in order to shake off their 'nice girl' reputation. What's wild about this party is that it's on a school night — and Ginger gets a rumour started about her after a high school boy is seen giving her house keys back.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender: A party in the Beach Episode turns into this after the host makes the mistake of inviting the four teenaged villains and annoying them enough to make them burn the place down.
- Batman Beyond: Terry's friend Howard throws one in the episode "Terry's Friend Dates a Robot". The party goes south when his Yandere robot girlfriend interferes with his attempt to pick up other girls and starts destroying the house when he tries to break up with her. She ends up exploding, taking the house with her, just as Howard's parents come home, having run out of vacation money thanks to him using it to buy the robot girlfriend. "The party peaked early", indeed.
- The Beatles: In "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" where the boys are visiting a New York City museum, John warns his Beatle compadres about Greenwich Village where wild parties are quite abundant. Paul, George and Ringo sneak off to one at a Greenwich Village coffee house anyway.
- Double Subverted by Beavis and Butt-Head, of all people. Our heroes actually want to host this type of party, and openly announce that they're having one. Unfortunately, the only person who shows up is the nerdy Stewart, who brings a couple of his friends. After some geeky conversation between Stewart and his friends over whether Michael could beat MacGyver in a fight, the real party starts when the party is crashed by Todd, a local hoodlum who Beavis and Butt-Head idolize. He kicks Beavis and Butt-Head out of their own house, and proceeds to trash it after holding a wild party of his own. When Beavis and Butt-Head come back, Todd trenches their yard and tells them they owe him $50 for party supplies, before tearing off down the street. Beavis and Butt-Head, of course, are simply thrilled that Todd came to their party.
- The Berenstain Bears TV series finds an ingenious solution to the fact that nobody in their right mind is going to leave a bunch of grade-school kids alone to begin with: the party takes place on a night when Lizzy Bruin has a baby-sitter. Who was told she was supervising a cute little sleepover and grows increasingly flustered as half the school shows up, leading to the 'trashed house' version. Interesting also in that the Aesop here applies to the parents as much as the kids — the former shouldn't have just taken the latter's word for it that the Bruins were OK with a party. There was also a book of that exact same episode. Papa Bear points out that if parents had compared notes, the whole thing would have been nipped in the bud.
- Bob's Burgers: Played with in "Go Tina on the Mountain"; while the kids are away from home on an overnight field trip, Bob and Linda try to cut loose and end up throwing a huge party with some folks they met at a nightclub. It's the parents who have to hide the evidence of the party from the kids, to discourage them from trying the same stunt when they grow up.
- Braceface does this in the promptly named episode "Home Alone". Though in an aversion it's not Sharon who threw it, but her brothers who take advantage of the fact their babysitter had to leave them due to a family emergency. Sharon tries to be the responsible one doing the chores and whatnot. The one time she does try to loosen up and relax is when her mom not surprisingly comes back early from her vacation. Though her brothers get her off the hook by taking responsibility for the party, the most punishment Sharon gets is not getting the desired curfew extension she wanted.
- Codename: Kids Next Door: The episode "Operation: P.A.R.T.Y." has the Delightful Children from Down the Lane accidentally start a TV-Y7 version of this trope by trying to kiss up to teenagers. They're forced to ask the Kids Next Door to help them stop the party before Father finds out; the KND are honor-bound to agree since while the DCFDTL are technically their enemies, they are still kids nonetheless.
- Clone High had basically the same scenario as the Freaks and Geeks example above, except that it was non-alcoholic beer only because the only person who could have passed for 21 was also the resident Ditz.
- Detentionaire: The episode "Friday Night Bites" is centered on Brandy throwing a party at her place to impress the other Glamazons; Lee doesn't plan on going at first, but Brandy ends up blackmailing him into attending. It doesn't get truly wild until the DJ starts playing the Prank Song, which — combined with some comments from the Immune to Mind Control Lee — causes everyone to start trashing the place.
- In the Disenchantment episode "Castle Party Massacre", Rebellious Princess Bean organizes one of these in the Castle, since her father King Zog is ill and recovering in a spa. Meanwhile, Odval and Sorcerio host their own (separate) social gathering with their secret society in the castle basement. However, the party is soon crashed by ruthless Land Vikings who, due to some misunderstandings, mass-murder most of Bean's party guests.
- In The Emperor's New School, Kuzco tries to persuade Malina to throw one while her parents are out of town. She refuses. In the end, he ends up throwing one. At her house. For a bunch of manatees. (It Makes Sense in Context.)
- Timmy from The Fairly OddParents! once threw one of these (despite not being a teenager), simply because it's what you're supposed to do when your parents are out. It included such people as escaped criminals, vikings, and a walrus. He escaped trouble for two reasons: (1) He blamed it on Vicky, and (2) his parents would have been fine with it anyway if they had been invited.
- In an episode of Family Guy, the FBI agents assigned to watch the Griffins' home while the family is in witness protection throw a wild party with all the other FBI agents.
- In a later episode, Mayor Adam West tells Quahog's townspeople about his plans to throw one (despite West being in his 80s in real life) but warns them not to tell his parents. They find out about it.
- Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: Bloo throws a G-rated one while Madame Foster is out of the house for the day. It somehow ends with Mac running through the streets naked after getting hopped up on sugar. The typical result of the trope is subverted at the end: Madame Foster comes home and seems quite incensed about it... because the party was thrown without her. She gleefully moves onto the dance floor and the party continues.
- In The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episode "The Show That Dares Not Speak Its Name" (originally titled "Cubix Rube"), Billy frees a demon from a Rubik's cube who frees other demons to have a party in Billy's house. When the demons are gotten rid of, Billy's mom assumes his dad did it.
- In Hercules: The Animated Series, Herc would receive friends Cassandra and Icarus at Phil's island as the trainer is away in a convention. Bacchus, the God of Wine, decides to barge in and convinces Herc to instead organize a full-blown Bacchanal, bringing along basically all of Herc's classmates to a party so wild that Poseidon, God of the Seas, decides to sink the island given the Bacchanal is not letting him sleep. To restore the place, Herc and the god Hermes need to go through a Chain of Deals to get something Poseidon wanted in return for rising the island back — and it goes through Phil's convention, though thankfully he returns just in time.
- Jamie's Got Tentacles!: In "Biggest Bash in the Universe", Jamie discovers the idea of a party and invites 8 million aliens to Erwin's house.
- An early episode of Johnny Test had the Test kids throwing one of these. Because this was before Hugh's Flanderization in the later seasons, he lets them go through with it as long as they don't turn off the lights, but he almost crashes the party when they briefly do to hide Johnny after their experiment to make him look good backfires and leaves him disfigured.
- The Loud House:
- In "Party Down", Lori wants to avoid one of these by hosting a "sophisticated" party instead, but her adherence to "sophistication" sucks all the fun out of the party that Lincoln, Luna and Luan try to bring and her guests eventually excuse themselves. In the end, she gives in to her desire to just have fun and it still becomes this, with her guests and even parents joining in on the festivitiesnote .
- The episode "Power Play with the Casagrandes" has Ronnie Anne and her family save energy only to find that the energy bill keeps getting higher and higher. By the end of the episode, Ronnie Anne learns the reason why: Sergio the parrot keeps throwing late-night parties with the pigeons in the mercado.
- In the Mickey Mouse (2013) short "Feed the Birds", the pigeons throw one of these after invading Mickey's house.
- Miraculous Ladybug features an odd example in "Party Crasher". It starts with Adrien's friends taking advantage of Gabriel Agreste being out (though in reality he was in the basement tending to his butterflies and checking on his wife) to show the normally shut-in Adrien what it's like to live it up at a party. Sure enough, there's loud music, and the guest list expands to include virtually every character with a Y chromosome to have appeared on the show at that point up to and including the Mayor of Paris. But it only really becomes a problem when an attempt to get more power for the speakers takes away power from Emilie Agreste's life support systems, prompting Hawk Moth to akumatize one of the show's few male characters who doesn't get invited into Party Crasher to shut the party down. In a curious twist of this trope, Gabriel does find out, but does nothing about it, as he can't tell Adrien he knows about the party without revealing that he is Hawk Moth.
- Partysaurus Rex does this with bath toys. Rex helps to fill up the bathtub with water so the toys can have fun. They have fun all right, complete with light raves. Rex fills up the water with bubble bath and blocks the overflow drain with a sponge, causing the water to keep on rising. But then he realizes that means the water might overflow and leak into the hall — not that the bath toys care. At one point, a toy police car arrives to control the situation, only to start having fun itself. After trying vainly to stop the rising water, Rex pulls out a stopper, which turns off the water, just as it reaches the top of the tub — only to realize he accidentally turned on the shower! Oh, Crap!...
- Phineas and Ferb: In "Candace Gets Busted", when Lawrence and Linda go on a trip, Candace invites a couple of friends over for an "intimate get together". At first, the intimate get-together is just that. But then one of her friends invites a few more people, her boyfriend Jeremy comes over with his band to practice some music, and finally, the entire NEIGHBORHOOD comes over, assuming it's one of her brothers' parties, which are awesome (Ferb informs Phineas, "When we get our own place, it'll be like this every day."). This all results in Candace desperately trying to get rid of a party that she never wanted in the first place, and when her parents find out and come home early, it looks like the Contrived Coincidence that always protects Phineas and Ferb's inventions will protect her, too... but for once in the show's history, it doesn't, and Candace is busted.
- The Proud Family:
- This is double subverted in an episode. It was intended that Penny Proud invite everyone to her party, or at the very least her friends, but LaCienaga ended up inviting everyone in the school, and to add insult to injury, her friends end up stabbing Penny in the back when they make it seem as though they actually did intend to go to her party, when they actually just wanted to use their house as parking space for LaCienaga's party. She ends up having to make do with people who she didn't intend to invite, some of them technically were legitimate in crashing the party (the Gross Sisters used invitations that were thrown out to enter Penny's party), and it took some time (and Aesops) for Penny to accept them as guests. Of course, by this time, LaCienaga's party went into an unexpected halt, and they merged with Penny's party, although Penny was still not too happy with her friends, considering locking them out, but decided against it, but still planning to exact revenge on them with the hair-in-a-glass trick that she pulled earlier in the party. Furthermore, Penny's parents are involved from the very beginning.
- The episode where Penny has a sleepover plays this straight as LaCienaga calls everyone in their middle school to come over to the house. The party gets out of control just as Oscar and Trudy return home. Suga Mama is asleep the entire time, only waking up when Oscar turns the TV off.
- In Rick and Morty, Summer decides to throw a normal teen party when her parents leave, and Rick decides to throw a far wilder extra-dimensional party at the exact same time, making Summer's party wild by association.
- Inverted in Sabrina: The Animated Series, where Sabrina's attempted Halloween party is just dull because of Gem trying to sabotage it. It doesn't become a fun affair until her aunts arrive and use their magic.
- The Simpsons:
- The show has occasionally featured this type of party, and the clean-up period afterwards, which usually involves an alligator and a man that sounds suspiciously like Charles Bronson.
- One episode implies Homer throws one of these every Mardi Gras, and it almost drove them bankrupt.
- In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "The Slumber Party", Pearl invites some of her friends over for a slumber party, and they watch TV and eat chips. However, Mr. Krabs, expecting a Wild Teen Party, sends SpongeBob to be a chaperone — and SpongeBob inadvertently destroys the house himself. Pearl blames Mr. Krabs for this.
- In "Jellyfish Jam", the jellyfish invites others to a late-night party at SpongeBob's, which lasts for 18 hours.
- In "Party Pooper Pants" SpongeBob's party becomes this after he gets locked out of his house while getting the newspaper to read the comics to everyone.
- Stōked: The party that Lo threw that ultimately forced her to work at her family's surf resort for the summer (even forcing her to live at the staff house) was described as "an End-of-the-School-Year party gone wrong." To go into greater detail about what happened at the party:
- There were over a hundred teenagers at the party (most of whom were probably party-crashers) and, with the exception of the staff house (which houses the hotel's summer staff), the partygoers ended up trashing basically the entire hotel (including Lo's family's penthouse). And the entire hotel staff (including the entire housekeeping staff) was forced to clean up the aftermath of Lo's party.
- Broseph, a friend of Lo's who ends up getting a job at the hotel as a bellhop, had driven Lo's car into the hotel's main pool.
- After running out of firewood for this big bonfire they had on the beach, the partygoers ended up using the hotel's deck chairs in lieu of actual firewood.
- Lo's party attracted the attention of at least one newspaper, it ended up all over the local news and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were actually called in at one point (presumably to try and break up the party).
- In the Tak and the Power of Juju cartoon Tak has Party Juju throw a party in the village, but he also grants Tak's accidental wish for the party to never end, so they have to get Killjoy Juju to end it when the villagers keep almost getting themselves injured partying.
- Tiny Toon Adventures:
- The original series featured one of these thrown at Hamton's house in "Hog Wild Hamton". Of course it wasn't his idea but Plucky's. Oddly, it's not the party goers who trash the place but a neighbor, Egghead, who does so out of retaliation for the noise the party is making which is disturbing his study time. Karma thankfully saves Hamton when a sweepstakes Hamton entered awards him and his family with a new house.
- "Give Pizza a Chance" from the Tiny Toons Looniversity reboot has Buster and Plucky use some of the money given to them by Dean Granny to repair their dorm room to throw a wild pizza party, which gets out of control and results in the room getting destroyed again.
- Tom and Jerry had a feline variant in "Saturday Evening Puss". While Mammy Twoshoes is at a bridge game with some friends, Tom invites some of his pals over to the house for a wild party that disrupts Jerry's sleep.
- In Unsupervised Gary and Joel were only inviting over two girls in an attempt to impress them. Of course, half the school decides to show up, but unlike most cases Gary and Joel aren't shown to suffer any sort of punishment from the parents, which fits in with the theme of the show.
- Cornelia from W.I.T.C.H. is banned from having parties at her house because she once threw one that ended in their house being trashed.
- The younger members of the team had one of these in X-Men: Evolution after they lured Scott and Jean out on a drive together. And then a gamer almost destroyed the mansion when he hacked into Cerebro, thinking it was a fancy computer game.
