{{examples
== Anime and Manga ==
Line 34:
* ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' uses it every so often. An early example is in ''Primape Goes Bananas'', where Ash enrages a Mankey and it one attacks him, which creates a Big Ball of Violence.
* This happens in at least one of the episodes of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' during a fist fight between France and England.
* One of these forms between the (not-yet-named) Ala Alba in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' when Chao gave them her family tree<ref>Basically, she's [[Luke, I Am Your Father|the descendant]] [[Kid From the Future|from the future]] of [[The Hero]], meaning that she holds the ultimate spoiler regarding his future wife. In a (more or less) [[Harem Series]] filled with dozens of [[Love Interest|Love Interests]], this makes her family tree the most powerful weapon yet</ref>, thus instigating the party's first ever (purely in-fighting based) defeat.
* Mentioned (and demonstrated) in [[Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]] when discussing various things that have gone out of style or aren't seen as often anymore.
* Happens a few times in ''[[Damekko Doubutsu]]'', usually when Usahara beats up Uruno.
Line 55:
* Disney's The Rescuers, if Penny starts to get sophisticated about her violence, get into this with her.
* Any melee fight involving Optimus Prime in the ''[[Transformers (Film)|Transformers]]'' movies. Except with LEGO blocks instead of dust.
* The 1987 made-for-tv animated film version of ''[[The Wind in The Willows]]'' features one some time after Toad was found by Badger after the former escaped the dungeon. When Toad was briefed about what happened to Toad Hall, he went into a [[Rant
* The rarely-seen ''[[Song of the South]]'' has this in the first animated scene, caused by Br'er Fox and then Br'er Bear when they pounce on Br'er Rabbit. A smaller ball (Br'er Rabbit) in it manages to sneak away from the melee as Br'er Bear reaches his big paw, clenched into a fist, out of the ball to try and punch the rabbit, but punching something else (presumably Br'er Fox).
Line 139:
** "Stay away from that thing, Quagmire!"
* In an episode of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', a three-way brawl between pirates, the Fire Nation, and Aang's gang occurs in a literal ball of smoke, as an excuse for frequent gags of this sort.
* [[Hair
{{quote| '''Pesto''': That's it!}}
* Cat-and-mouse violence was largely unobscured in ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'', but the occasional beatdown by Spike the bulldog featured Tom doing various things like trying to escape, writing his [[Will]], digging his own grave, and so on.
Line 155:
* [[Kid VS Kat]] uses this trope so much that you'd think the creators had a patent on it.
* In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHBJL3q_W-Q this Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks short] which aired on Cartoon Network, Mr. Jinks gets a restraining order placed on him, so every time he comes within three feet of Pixie and Dixie he immediately gets attacked by a Big Ball of Violence full of cops with nightsticks.
* Used in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Fall Weather Friends", where after continually trying to cheat one another out of first place in a race, Applejack and Rainbow Dash end up in Big Ball Of Violence, which carries them across the finish line. {{spoiler|They both come joint-last.}}
** Spike gets into one with a chicken in "Owl's Well that Ends Well". The chicken pulls the "slip out and leave your opponent fighting himself" trick at one point.
** Occurs several times in the second-season premiere, "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E1 The Return of Harmony Part 1|The Return Of Harmony]]". The first one occurs when Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom fight in front of [[Taken for Granite|Discord's petrified form]], inadvertently releasing him. Later, another one occurs in the Ponyville library when Twilight Sparkle tackles Applejack and Pinkie Pie to recover a book.
