== Anime & Manga ==
* And an entire anime series based on this--''Honji Dodge Danpei'' There's a bit of a pun in there--"Dodge" as pronounced in Japanese sounds like a word equivalent to "blockhead" or "doofus", which describes the personality of young Danpei.
Line 57:
* One stage of ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]]'' features a one-on-one dodgeball game between average elementary schooler Torao and his [[Jerk Jock]] rival Ryu. Set to Tomoyasu Hotei's "Thrill", and with [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|needlessly awesome]] visuals out of a kung-fu movie.
* This is as good a reason as any for why gymn in ''[[Bully (video game)|Bully]]'' focuses on dodgeball and wrestling. (Well, that and game mechanics—winning a wrestling match improves your melee attacks, while helping the nerds beat the jocks at dodgeball improves your ranged attacks.)

* There was a dodgeball game in ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' v4 [[Developing Doomed Characters|pre-game]]. [[Gentle Giant|Craig Hoyle]] naturally had difficulty, [[Emo Teen|Meredith Hemmings]] managed to injure herself due to wearing goth boots with heels instead of something more practical, and Cisco Vasquez... is [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cisco]].▼
* Jeff discovers this in the third episode of ''[[Custom Idiots]]''.▼
* Dodgeball becomes hell with Penny joins the game in V2 of ''[[RWBY Chibi]]''. what with her being a combat-ready [[Robot Girl]] with targeting systems and ultra-precise delivery.
Line 70 ⟶ 76:
* Happened in one episode of ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' as Timmy arrives at school after missing the bus and having to walk in the rain. He's greeted to gym class by his classmates holding dodgeballs in a game of "Drys vs Wets", as you can imagine, he's the only one wet there.
* In ''[[Invader Zim]]'': 'Bludgeonball! [[Blatant Lies|It's fun!]]
