| - The villain sits in his lair, waiting eagerly to hear how his most recent plan was a success. Suddenly, a Mook comes running in. He looks frightened, and upset: He has bad news. The Mook delivers the news and winces. The Big Bad sits a moment to comprehend this recent update, before bursting into rage. He angrily berates the Mook who has "failed me for the last time!" Convenient Trap Door time! The Big Bad pushes the button, the trap door opens... and it just happens to be right next to the Mook who was supposed to fall in. This is usually followed by a moment of awkward silence before the villain asks, "Do you mind?" The Mook will promptly jump into the trap door after this. Of course, there are alternate varieties.
