* Subverted in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Buff gets pissed off when she walks in on Angel giving Faith a hug ([[Not What It Looks Like]]; he was merely comforting her) and when Angel refuses to let Buffy take Faith to prison she hits him. He reflexively hits her back. When Buffy pulls her [[Puppy Dog Eyes|sad-face]] in shock that [[Double Standard|Angel actually hit her]], he [[What the Hell, Hero?|calls her out on it]] by pointing out: "You hit me first, and in case you don't remember, you're a bit stronger than I am!"

* Subverted at one point on ''[[That '70s Show]]'', where Jackie attempts this on Fez, who simply catches her hand before it can reach his face and berates her for trying it. [[Double Standard|It's okay though]], because it's a joke about how effeminate Fez is.

* In ''[[24]]'', Jack is on the receiving end of one these when Agent Walker [[What the Hell, Hero?|questions his humanity]]. She also brings [[Berserk Button|Jack's dead wife]] into it, and Jack, seeing how pissed off she is, manages to control himself.

* Subverted, surprisingly, in ''[[Moonlighting]]'': Maddie is mad at David because he tried to defend a man who had beaten his wife in the heat of the moment after seeing her with someone else. When David starts complaining, she slaps him... and immediately realizes the [[Double Standard]] in the situation.

* In the fourth season of ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', Baltar publicly reveals {{spoiler|that Kara Thrace [[Dead All Along|died on Earth]] and the Kara they know is an [[Angel Unaware]]}}. Kara responds by slapping Baltar and storming off; which would hardly be worth mentioning but for the fact that Kara has ''always'' [[Megaton Punch|megaton punched]] anyone (even superior officers) who've pissed her off. Kara's 'mild' reaction was likely due to conflict between her anger over Baltar's action, and relief that it's finally all out in the open.

* In the fourth season of the remake of ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', Baltar publicly reveals {{spoiler|that Kara Thrace [[Dead All Along|died on Earth]] and the Kara they know is an [[Angel Unaware]]}}. Kara responds by slapping Baltar and storming off; which would hardly be worth mentioning but for the fact that Kara has ''always'' [[Megaton Punch|megaton punched]] anyone (even superior officers) who've pissed her off. Kara's 'mild' reaction was likely due to conflict between her anger over Baltar's action, and relief that it's finally all out in the open.

** Almost certainly the case or else she would have little reason to go to Baltar in the first place (he had been expounding on his belief in angels and their goodness for a while to his fast expanding flock, and she went to him and gave him something that would prove what happened to her), especially as proving it would only make his own preaching look that much more true, and, though he did believe it, he was renowned for always doing whatever to took to advance himself.

* Well to be honest, it would be hard to list all the times it has happened on ''[[Eastenders]]'' though it is worth mentioning that Peggy Mitchel is quite fond of it, as is Pat Butcher. People quite enjoyed it when they turned it on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NcPYHx1UYY&feature=related each other].

Line 163:

* ''[[Community]]''. Jeff is on the receiving end of one of these after he kisses Annie, ignores her all summer, states "we're just friends", and then reveal he had sex with one of her class mates.

** That was clearly a closed-fisted punch. There's an audible thud, Annies grabs her hand in pain, and Jeff gets a pretty bad nosebleed.
