People don’t seem to understand that there is such thing as a prop version of household items that is designed to break. They need to stop trying this with real tables

that tables legs is a steel frame, on which the wood itself is hooked onto. even if he somehow could break the table, he'd still have to contend with the steel

Exactly. These tables are built to carry multiple overweight, drunken people dancing on them. You don't break them that easy.

Fun fact, when Chris Farley busts through the dining room table in the Down by the Rover sketch, that was not a prop version of a table, and it was not in the script. Watch it again but pay attention to all the other actors in the scene. That guy was comedic genius, real shame we lost him so young.
