One character gets chased by another character as they start running around a pole, a pillar, or even a statue. The chase continues around maybe three or four times, until after the fourth time, the one getting chased is nowhere to be found as the chaser is still running around in circles. You can expect to see this trope show up in Comedy or Western Animation. Related to Behind a Stick. Compare Blind Alley. Examples of Gone Behind the Bend include:
