Line 41:
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the first Dalek to appear in the revived series single-handedly kills nearly the entire garrison of the bunker he was imprisoned in.
** The [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|villain battle fans had long dreamed of]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBSOhODoch0 Daleks vs Cybermen]. [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Smack talk preceded asskicking]], and it seemed that Cybermen [[Deadpan Snarker|Snark]] outperformed the Dalek [[Hair-Trigger Temper|rage talk]] -- ''at first.''
{{quote|
'''Dalek''': Daleks have no concept of "elegance".
'''Cyberman''': This is obvious. }}
** But when shots were fired, it was all over for them.
{{quote|
'''Dalek''': This is not war! ''[[This Is Pest Control]]!''
'''Cybermen''': We have five million Cybermen! How many are you?
'''Dalek''': Four!
'''Cybermen''': You would destroy the Cybermen with ''four'' Daleks?
'''Dalek''': We would destroy the Cybermen with ''one'' Dalek! You are superior in only one respect!
'''Cybermen''': What is that?
'''Dalek''': '''''You are better at dying!''''' }}
** Besides, it was five million Cyberman versus four Daleks -- you can't blame the Cyberman for miscalculating the odds. It pretty much sounded like usual Dalek arrogance -- it just happened to be true.
Line 75:
** There's also the FBI raid against Cromartie's apartment in the first season finale. It didn't end well for the FBI.
** Even becomes a major plot point in season 2 when John realises that Cameron couldn't possibly be the one who killed {{spoiler|Riley}}, since {{spoiler|Riley}}'s body showed signs of having fought back ''unarmed'' for more than 1/10th of a second.

'''Derek:''' What kind of weapon do I have?
'''John:''' Your fists, and your elbows, and your fingernails, and your teeth.
'''Derek:''' Against ''her''? Those aren't weapons.
'''John:''' I know. }}
* In the 1998 ''[[Merlin (TV miniseries)|Merlin]]'' series, Merlin (wielding [[Excalibur]]) takes on Vortigern, the usurper king of Britain, on a frozen river. {{spoiler|Merlin allows Vortigern to attempt one blow, which severs his own blade on Excalibur, and then kills Vortigern by making the ice beneath his feet break open with magic, sending him into the icy water.}}
Line 94:
* On ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' Barney is banned for a time from laser tag for getting too competitive and actually attempting to do this to some elementary school kids he was playing against.
** Ted loses his ''only fight ever'' in this way, but the guy who knocked him out was himself taken down in an [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]] by Marshall.

* One episode of [[Bully Beatdown]] had a bully who was so much of a prick, the host, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, himself stepped into the ring against him. The bully kept talking shit the whole time before the match, even calling Mayhem a wimp. In Round One, Mayhem got the bully to tapout twice in 30 seconds (counting the time it took the bully to get back up). In Round Two, Mayhem toyed with the bully for a while before dropping him 3 times in a row with 3 hits. The whole time Mayhem had a grin on his face.
** A later episode posed a problem because the bully weighed only 150 lbs: It took a while to find a fighter that small. The diminutive fighter managed to finish both rounds ''in less than a minute'' and the bully had to stop in the middle of the post-fight monologue to vomit.
