This common visual gag was popularized in The Golden Age of Animation. It begins when an explosion occurs point-blank in someone's face, typically from an Explosive Cigar, ridiculous quantities of TNT/dynamite, or perhaps an amusing gunfire incident since guns often emit directed explosions rather than propelling bullets.

I help my friend shoot off a bunch of fireworks every year. Last year we had one of the mortars fail. The lifting charge failed to go off and then the deploying charge went off with the mortar still in the tube. The explosion blew the hell out of it, destroying the PVC tube and the wooden 2x4 frame it was mounted to, breaking one section of 2x4 completely in half.
No one was injured because we light and move, and move some more, but the point is, sometimes things go wrong and fireworks can be deadly even before adding stupidity and alcohol to the mix.

Whoa, that is and instant classic. Hope no one was seriously injured. Seeing the baby and how close they were was disturbing. But wow that was a bodda boom situation. Great place for a fire bang bang. Right where a vehicles gas tank is This message has been edited. Last edited by: old rugged cross,
