Line 1:
'''Ding Dong Ditching''' is a [[prank]] where a prankster or group of pranksters will ring a [[doorbell]] and then run away. A well known variation involves placing [[feces]] in a bag on the door step of the victim and lighting the bag on fire before ringing the bell. The hope is that the victim will repeatedly stamp on the feces to put the fire out, thus getting feces on their shoes.
==Pop Culture==
*In the movie [[Billy Madison]], Billy and his friends leave a flaming bag of feces on a doorstep of an elderly man.
*Ding Dong Ditch is also used in a [[Windex]] commercial where one of the crows plays the prank on a man sitting on his patio. While he is answering the door, another crow closes the sliding glass door leading to the patio. The man walks back to the patio, and he walks into the door, because Windex "leaves a streak-free shine."
*In the cartoon [[Rocko's Modern Life]] the characters Heffer and Filbert repeatedly pull this prank in one episode until they finally send a victim into a rage and pay the price for their actions.
*In the [[Beavis and Butt-head]] episode Bungholio - Lord Of The Harvest, Beavis and Butt-head attempt this prank with hilarious results. They run away after the person answers the door and even run and hide when not ringing the doorbell.
*Another example of this prank can also be seen in the movie [[Dennis the Menace (film)|Dennis The Menace]]. The movie also showed a method of retaliation to deter pranksters (taping a thumbtack to the doorbell).
