Line 26:
== [[Film]] ==
* In the 1967 parodic ''[[Casino Royale (1967 film)|Casino Royale]]'', [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] is introduced to an agent who breaks a cinderblock with a karate chop... and accidentally knocks himself out saluting Bond.
* In the original ''[[The Karate Kid]]'', Daniel sees a movie poster centred on a man kicking a log in half.
{{quote|Master, can you breaks a log like that?
Line 48:
* Subverted by Hudzen in the ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' episode "The Last Day", who demonstrates his strength by breaking a brick in half with his penis.
* A ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' skit had Will Ferrell try to do this, but failed to break the board, yelling "What kind of wood was that?"
* Played with in an episode of ''[[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] Raw'', where to either build him up or get people to mock him more, Eric Bischoff claimed to be an "eighth-degree black belt". He then proceeded to break things with his bare hands and feet, though the harder ones seemed fake.
* Used in an episode of ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', where both a guest on ''Tool Time'' and Al have studied karate. Not knowing this, Tim tries it...and, being Tim, and it being this trope, hurts his head.
* Done in a "How it's done" manner by Phoebe in ''[[Beakman's World]]''. And yes, Lester breaks his hand on the board beforehand.
