One of the defining characteristics of the traditional sitcom is the presence of three walls, which means driving a car through one of those walls is one of the most exciting things that can possibly happen. Here, collected for the first time anywhere on the Internet, are some of the most significant moments in the history of cars driving through walls on sitcoms.
Show: Full House
Episode: "Honey, I Broke the House" (Season 3)
Full House was a show that relished in the kind of wacky, "big" moments that drives a studio audience f*cking nuts, weather it be Rebecca bungee jumping, Michelle buying a donkey, or Joey going on a date (with a woman). It was inevitable that one of the Tanner brood (middle child Stephanie, as it turns out), would roll through Danny's kitchen wall. Note how, shortly after the car breaks through the house, young Michelle enters and punctuates the scene with a gag-inducing adorable punchline. This, it turns out, is one of the staples of sitcom car crashes-and not surprisingly, nobody did gag-inducing adorable like the pre-adolescent Olsen twins.
Show: Frasier
Episode: "The Innkeepers" (Season 2 - 1995)
You might not expect a show like NBC's Frasier stage the kind of four-wheeled mayhem featured in zanier shows like Full House and Family Matters. In part because Dr. Frasier Crane lives in a metropolitan high rise. But more significantly, shows like Frasier represent a sub-genre of more "adult-oriented" sitcoms (Friends, Seinfeld, Will and Grace, et al.) that's less likely to rely on slapstick for its laughs than the Tanners or Winslows. Then came "The Innkeepers", in which an elderly valet plows a diner's sedan through the wall of Frasier's new restaurant, proving that all the sophisticated observational humor the city can produce is no match for simple mass destruction. What worked for Urkel will work for Dr. Crane.

Bee #1: Fellow bees, look! The giant approaches!
(an audible gasp is heard across the swarm, as they freeze and stare at the shadowy figure in terror)
Bee #2: We must act quickly before it strikes!
Bee #3: This is the day we've all been training for! You know the drill. To your battle stati-
(he is distracted by a single bee in the midst of the swarm, tentatively raising his hand)
Bee #3 contd: Yes, Harold?
Harold: Um, yes, hi. Sorry to interrupt your speech, but don't you think this is a little...dumb?
(the swarm pauses despite their panic, shocked by Harold's audacity)
Bee #3: What is the meaning of this, Harold?
Harold: I mean...the giant doesn't seem on the offensive. It just appears to be leaking from some odd frontal protrusion.
(the swarm glances over to the human, who is drunkenly peeing in a nearby bush)
