== Commercials[[Advertising]] ==
* In an ad for "Foster's Lager", a girl does this, and she's called a keeper.
* One of Miller Lite's "Man Law" commercials had the Men of the Square Table [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfNZ3vd00yA&feature=related debating whether crushing cans on your forehead was macho or just moronic]. They decided on moronic.
Line 31:
 
== Literature ==
* Invoked by Mr. Tulip, in ''[[Discworld/The Truth|The Truth]]'', where he smashes a bottle of alcohol against his forehead. The narrative notes that he is not doing this to be perceived as tough by the drinkers at Beirs, but simply because he had a bottle that he no longer needed and putting it down on a table required more concentration then he deemed necessary. It is implied to be mainly Mr. Tulip's presence that, after the New Firm leaves Biers, causes them to lock the door in case they come back. For those less familiar with ''[[Discworld]]'', Biers is Ankh-Morpork's resident bar for the ''undead''.
* [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] in one humorous college survival guide, which shows a step-by-step guide to doing this, the last step being that you will not make a good impression on your girlfriend's parents, with the boy meeting the parents with the marks from crushing the can still on his head.{{context|reason=What work is this from?}}
 
== Live -Action TV ==
* Wilson did this in ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', and wound up giving himself a headache in the process.
* [[The Ditz|Buddy Lembeck]] from ''[[Charles in Charge]]'' bragged about crushing a number of cans in a row, and could have done more if they were empty.
