Curb Stomp Battle/Web Original

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Played amazingly well in Red vs. Blue season "Revelation" (it was choreographed and animated by Monty Oum what do you expect),the reds are cowering as something is battering down a door, door is thrown out off the hooks, and a certain female character says "Okay. So who's first?" What follows is 7 minutes of pure awesome.
  • The Screamsheet's Fights section has a few of these. Most notable is "The Biggest Damned Fight Ever," which features Bruce Campbell stomping almost everyone who had appeared in that section prior.
  • In the pilot episode of Cause of Death, the nameless protagonist lays into the much larger man.
  • https://web.archive.org/web/20130327142405/http://sheezyart.com/art/view/1330655 Describes the deal of a curbstomp pretty well.
  • Despite the initial scare (literal Legions of Hell invading earth? Game over man, game over!), demons from The Salvation War are total pushovers and massacred with barely the most token of resistance...that is, until Satan is forced to rely on Belial and his ragtag band of pariahs for outside-the-box retaliation. The angels, on the other hand... well, one of them manages to destroy a Russian jet by yelling at it.
    • The war against the demons was actually nicknamed the "Curb-Stomp War" in-universe.
      • To be fair, the army revealed that if the war with Hell went on a little longer, humans would have faced some big troubles. Oh, not from the demons, the humans were running out of ammo.
    • This would have more long-term consequences, since at least in Western countries it led to pity and even sympathy for demons that affected human relations with them post-war (and, it seems, influenced human harshness against the angels in return).
    • Just to give you an idea of how badly the demons were destroyed, in the first battle the demons were fielding around 440,000 troops, and were facing several thousands of humans. Humans suffered only 600 casualties. Only 300 demons lived.
  • The That Guy With The Glasses 1st anniversary video included a few of these. Most notably The Nostalgia Critic, despite effortlessly dispatching anybody else he runs into and having fought a pretty close battle with The Angry Video Game Nerd previously, seems to get beat up pretty badly whenever he runs into the Nerd in the battle. This includes taking multiple attacks to the crotch. Even so, the battle technically ends in a tie and the Critic does gain the upper hand on a few occasions. Also, nearly every character is introduced by literally appearing out of nowhere and knocking the previous character to the ground. Nearly all of Angry Joe's scenes consist of him screaming and doing crazy karate gestures before being knocked out by another character seconds later. And Ma-Titakes a particularly large amount of punishment from just about everybody.
  • Just after Linkara manages to defeat Mechakara, he winds up on the receiving end of one at the hands of Lord Vyce.
  • "The Turks or the Geek" in the Whateley Universe. Team Kimba finally figures out who bushwhacked and stomped their least battle-worthy members a month or so earlier. They challenge said team (the Young Turks) to an arena match in front of them whole school, with only the four team members considered the least threatening. Team Kimba uses their abilities to learn how the Young Turks plan to game the fight: extreme curb stomping ensues.
  • In one episode of Strong Bad E-Mails, Strong Bad decides to find out what would happen if he were to poke Pom-Pom with a pin while he's on fire. To make things more interesting, Strong Bad blindfolds himself. He didn't see what happened, but he's sure that Pom-Pom exploded in a big fiery ball that was visible from space, and that in no way did Strong Bad get the ever-loving crap beaten out of him.
  • Mecha Sonic in Super Mario Bros Z practically specializes in this, having technically only been defeated once (thanks to a conveniently-produced Super Star), but the two instances that specifically qualify as this trope would be the No Holds Barred Beatdowns of Yoshi, then later the Axem Rangers and the Koopa Bros. (Yoshi at least got better. The others didn't.)
  • This has happened (for both sides) in Comic Fury Werewolf, but is most prominent in Game 8 for the town (3 wolf lynches in 3 days), and Game 10 for the Werewolves.
  • Though it mostly happened off-camera, the fight between Evan and Slendy in Everyman HYBRID seemed to be this. Evan swung a baseball bat at Slendy, who blocked it with something like telekinesis and seemed to wreak internal damage on Evan. Surprisingly realistic Blood From the Mouth ensued.
  • This Troper's Stopmotion videos. Well, Three out of four, anyway.
  • In the Global Guardians PBEM Universe, the Blades (a trio of superhuman assassins) were hired to take out the members of the titular team. Understatement to say that the Blades were out of their league...]]

Scimitar: "Die, American!"
(slashes his weapon at Ultra-Man, who doesn't even attempt to avoid the strike; the blade shatters on Ultra-Man's invulnerable skin).
Ultra-Man: "Did you bring another one of those? I can wait until you go get it..."

  • Whenever Mario fights anyone in the Bowser's Kingdom series, he usually comes out on top.
  • The most recent ScrewAttack Death Battle between Rainbow Dash of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Starscream from Transformers Generation 1 has Rainbow Dash pulling one of these on Starscream, to the point that the battle was the most one sided battle they've ever done by far[1]. The fact that this trope was used at all is unique for the series as usually the battles are shown to be as close as possible, even if the winner needs to receive a nerf or the loser a buff to even things out a little.
    • The best part is that this is completely justified by their given stats and abilities taken from each of their respective series.
    • Another case was in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one, where the Leonardo attacks Michelangelo and kills him in seconds. It was noted in the aftermath that Leonardo went after Michelangelo because he was the easiest target.
  • In the Final Battle of Suburban Knights, Malachite curbstomps everyone except Ma-Ti with little effort once he gets his gauntlet back.
  • Menelaos is shamefully curbstomped by Daichi in Greek Ninja when he tries to attack him.
  • In the Yogscast and Total Biscuit's cooperative Let's Play of Magicka, their battle with Khan in part 6 ends up being literally 10 seconds long, whilst the rest of the level involved them screwing around and getting screwed over by ARSE mines.
  1. Starscream only manages to even connect with an attack once, via a cheap shot with the Null Ray. Given that she's not mechanical, this does little more than annoy her. He also manages an annoyed swat which accomplishes even less, but it's questionable whether that one even qualifies as an attack.
