{{examples}}
== Advertising ==
* The "Could Have Had a V8" line of commercials typically feature one character dope-slapping the other in the forehead, complete with a hollow "doink" sound.
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* Kogoro does this to Conan in ''[[Detective Conan]]''/''[[Case Closed]]'' quite often when he catches the boy snooping where he shouldn't. More often than not he uses his fist (and sometimes even gives Conan a full noogie), resulting in a [[Cranial Eruption|painful-looking lump]]. (But this is still played for laughs.)
* Used in ''[[Onegai My Melody]]'', when a mother thought her young son's apology to the [[Victim of the Week]] wasn't heartfelt enough.
Line 46:
** During the Okinawa trip, after Tomo nearly drops Chiyo-chan over a cliff (albeit accidentally), Kagura does this Tomo, even asking the "What are you, stupid or something?" question.
* ''[[Bleach]]''
** Ichigo's teacher gives him the karate-punch variant after a long absence, when he tries to small-talks her and mentions that she changed
** Rukia and Renji deliver a tag-team Dope Punch to Ichigo for [[Idiot Hero|running off into Hueco Mundo carelessly, without telling them]].
** Anime episode #160: During a [[Flash Back]], Kaien Shiba gives Rukia one while they're in a forest in the Soul Society. She wasn't paying attention to him and even yelling and shaking her didn't work.
Line 54:
* ''[[Sengoku Basara]]''
** The Tiger of Kai isn't content to deliver a simple dope-slap to [[Idiot Hero]] Yukimura Sanada. When he says something truly dumb, he delivers a dope PUNCH, usually sending Yukimura through the nearest door, or into a wall. He's always up again a second later though.
** Magoichi also whacks Motochika on the skull like this to bring him to his senses. It stings, but doesn't send him flying.
* ''[[Futaba-Kun Change!|Futaba Kun Change]]'' The wrestler sisters Karin and Anzu regularly give each other a karate chop on top of the head... or a dope punch... or a ''dope kick in the face''... usually berating the other for her
* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai]]''
** Episode 2. The maids use a bright light to cover up their assisting Taro in solving a math problem in class. When one of the maids tries to explain the light as a U.F.O., another maid gives her one of these and tells her to think of a better excuse.
Line 66:
* Light, humorous moments are pretty rare in the manga ''[[Parasyte]]''. However, there's that one time a classmate of Shinichi dope-slaps another, after the latter accidentally revealed Shinichi's large scar in the chest by horsing around in the lockers room.
* ''Mio'' from [[K-On!]] does this a lot, usually to ''Ritsu''. Her preferred method of application is a fist to the top of the head. In one episode, ''Mugi'' tries very hard to get ''Mio'' to hit her like this, because she sees it as an important part of bonding with friends.
* [[Bill Engvall]] talks about getting these from his father, especially at church. His father would sit with his children on both sides of him, with his arms stretched out behind him on the pew, "like he was huggin' the whole family." And if one of the kids misbehaved, he would be in easy smacking range. "'Brain dusters,' we called 'em."▼
== Comic Books ==
* In the last issue of ''[[Kingdom Come]]'', Magog gives one of his fellow metahumans a Dope Smack for being disrespectful {{spoiler|during the ceremony where Wonder Woman is welcomed back into the Amazons}}.
* A particularly hilarious one in ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]''. After a mutant's powers activate, Spidey and Iceman are trying to convince her to use her powers responsibly. After Iceman makes a particularly stupid comment about her powers (control of fire: "Or, we could get some marshmallows..."), Spidey delivers a quick slap to the back of the head.
* [[Superboy]] (Conner Kent) received one from [[Batgirl]] (Cassandra Cain) during a team-up. Superboy, being the [[Casanova Wannabe]] that he was at the time, continuously showed off his [[Luckily, My Powers Will Protect Me|tactile-telekinesis]] in order to impress her. When she simply ignores him and uses
{{quote|'''Superboy:''' She got past my [[Force Field|force-field]]. My ''impregnable'' force-field. I feel so... ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|pregnable]].''}}
== Fan Works ==
* In chapter 4 of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20181030041739/https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12302907/1/Si-Vis-Pacem-Para-Bellum Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum]'' by "Mister Cynical", Hermione dopeslaps Harry at the behest of Sirius when the former demonstrates a little too much fatalism for his taste:
{{quote|"Slow down Harry," Sirius ordered. "Before you rush off and get sleeves, think about the repercussions. As far as magical society is concerned, only thugs like low-level criminals and Ministry hit wizards have tattoos. You could really screw up your chances at a decent job."
* ''[[Safe Havens]]'' [http://safehavenscomic.com/?p=122 has it with dodos].▼
"You're assuming that I'll survive long enough to have to worry about getting a job." Sirius sighed and finished his drink.
"Hermione, if you'd please."
"Way ahead of you," the bushy-haired woman stated before smacking Harry across the back of the head.
"Ow!"
"You're going to survive mate," Ron stated flatly.}}
== Films -- Animation ==
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
** And the more [[Egregious]] example from ''Ice Age 3'': Ellie is going into labor; when Crash asks if she can just hold it in for a while, Ellie (being a long distance away and unable to reach him with her trunk) yells down: ''"Can somebody slap him for me?"'' Needless to say, Eddie obliges immediately and delivers a resounding smack to Crash's head.
* In ''[[Balto]]'', Kaltag has a habit of hitting Star on the head whenever he interrupts one of his rants as their [[Running Gag]]. Star is well aware of this and on one occasion does it to himself and at the end of the film {{spoiler|he expects to receive one, only for Kaltag to actually agree with him.}}
* In the end of ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo|Teen Titans Trouble in Tokyo]]'', Raven does this to Beast Boy after he made his last and somewhat awkward comment: "Okay, next time, we're going to Mexico!". She then coldly slaps him senseless off the stage, the camera fades after that, then the credits roll.
* It goes by pretty quickly, but in ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'', Gobber gives Hiccup a light one on the back of the head after the boy's father tells him to go home after screwing up (and, heavily suggested, not for the first time).
* [[The Smart Guy|Tulio]] does this to [[The Ditz|Miguel]] at least three times in ''[[The Road to El Dorado]]'', in addition to many [[Death Glare|death glares]] and [[Be Quiet Nudge|elbow nudges]].
* Even fishes can get into it. In ''[[Finding Nemo]]'', Bloat (the porcupinefish) gives once a dope-slap to Gurgle (the royal gramma) with his fin.
* In ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]'', after the Once-Ler cuts down the first tree, two Humming Fish go near it, and one knocks on the stump with its fin to indicate nothing has really changed, only for the sky to suddenly turn black and begin to rumble (indicating the summoning of the Lorax). The other fish then slaps the first one in the back of the head for apparently causing the current thing.
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' often feature an [[Overly Long Gag]] where Larry, Curly, and Moe take turns dope-slapping each other, escalating into bigger and bigger acts of violence.
* In ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
* In

* ''[[Dogma]]'''s main characters deliver one to Jay after he goes on a rampage and shoots the wings off an angel, which was exactly what that angel needed.

* ''[[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension]]''. Whorfin gives one to the guard who couldn't turn on the TV to show Penny's torture.
* In ''[[Waterworld]]'', after Enola waves at a plane of "smokers" flying above them. The Mariner dope-slaps her and yells, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120303204332/http://www.hulu.com/watch/22664/waterworld-what-are-you-thinking "What are you thinking about?!?"]
* ''[[The Kentucky Fried Movie]]'' segment "A Fistful of Yen". Loo gives one to one of his martial arts students after the student performs a lackluster kick.
* The original ''[[Arthur (film)|Arthur]]'' gives us a great one in the beginning, while Arthur is in the bath and ponders whether fish ever get tired of seafood. [[The Jeeves|Hobson]] walks over, lifts off Arthur's [[Nice Hat|hat]], and smacks him.
* ''[[It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World|Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World]]'': Dingy Bell (Mickey Rooney) does this three times to Benjy Benjamin (Buddy Hackett).
* ''[[John Carter (film)|John Carter]]'': John Carter receives one from his [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous|Thark]] ally Tars Tarkas after they realize that [[Epic Fail|they just invaded the wrong city]].

* This is [[Team Dad|Gibbs']] favorite form of discipline in ''[[NCIS]]'', especially to Tony, who reminds Gibbs of himself in his younger days. He does it regularly enough that the other characters have called it the Gibbs-slap.
** Honorable mention to Gibbs' reaction to catching Tony looking at "Page 57" of a men's
** Tony, for his part, has at least gotten smart enough to dope-slap himself on occasion, and once got offended that Gibbs ordered Ziva to administer when Gibbs wasn't within arm's reach.
** However, it also conveys a sense of
** Furthermore, after being injured in an explosion, Gibbs suffers from amnesia and can't remember anyone or anything that happened after the end of his Marine career. Ziva manages to restore his memory by grabbing his hand and dope-slapping herself with it.
** In one episode, Gibbs dope-slaps ''himself'' after tampering with evidence ([[It Makes Sense in Context|which was for a good cause]]).
Line 167 ⟶ 164:
** Gibbs once dope-slaps a cardboard cutout of Tony, and Tony reacts as if he'd been hit.
** Of course, we see in flashbacks that when Gibbs first joined NIS, Mike Franks used to dope-slap ''him''.
** A flashback in the episode "Baltimore" shows Gibbs giving Tony his first dope-slap, when Tony is uncertain about being ''any'' kind of cop. Tony indignantly asks, "Did you just physically assault me?" After Gibbs says he thinks Tony is too good to waste, Tony replies, "Never do that again."
** At the end of part one of the two-part episode "Hiatus", Gibbs wakes up from a coma after being hurt in a ship bombing, having lost his memory of NCIS as a result. Several characters (unsuccessfully) try to help Gibbs regain his memory. During a visit with Gibbs on his final night in the hospital, Ziva, after a few more unsuccessful attempts to jog his memory and in desperation, takes his hand in hers and dope-slaps herself with it. This, along with Ziva emotionally reminding him that she killed her brother Ari to save Gibbs' life, shocks him into regaining his memory and they both return to work.
* Hyde doing this to Kelso is a [[Running Gag]] in ''[[That '70s Show]]''. Red did this to Eric on occasion too.
* Often used in the Britcom ''[[Coupling]]''. Actor Richard Coyle (who plays Jeff Murdock) once was on the receiving end of a dope-slap that was so forceful he got angry over it. Crybaby.
* Similarly, actor Andrew Sachs once asked John Cleese to tone down the dope-slap while filming ''[[Fawlty Towers]]''.
Line 184 ⟶ 182:
'''George Luz:''' Thank you. }}
* Repeatedly applied to Henry in ''[[You Rang, M'Lord?|You Rang M Lord]]'', generally after he's made an [[Deadpan Snarker|accurate but unflattering observation]] about one of the other characters. It happens often enough that on one occasion, he hits himself preemptively to save someone else the bother. It doesn't seem to stop him being snarky, though.
* Several episodes of ''[[The Amanda Show]]'' features skits involving Tony Pajamas (Drake Bell) and his lackey (Josh Peck). Josh would frequently say or do something stupid, get hit and ask, "What was that for?!" To which Tony would reply, "For bein' an idiot!" which Josh would accept with an "Okay."
* ''[[Friends]]'': Chandler manages to earn a five-person dope-slap (or at least two or three plus some stuff thrown at him...) after a particularly flagrant bit of [[Hypocritical Humor]] when he criticizes a [[Love Interest Of The Week]] for being "desperate"
* The dope-slap is a [[Running Gag]] on ''[[My Wife and Kids]]''. Junior, not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, often said or did dumb stuff, leading to a dope-slap from another character, usually Michael or Jay.
* In Brazil, comedic show ''Pânico na TV'' gave the dope-slap a [[Memetic Mutation]], with a skit where a parody of a sports show host slapped two dwarves nicknamed after soccer players, along with the phrase "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW0jHsZWvJk Pedala], Robinho!" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OYI8ci8l24 Samba], Tevez!"

** When the Trio start arguing about who the best James Bond was in the middle of their scheme, Andrew gets smacked for sticking up for Timothy Dalton.
* Happens in the bloopers for ''[[Angel]]'', after it is revealed that Wes, while making an ad for Angel Investigations, put down the wrong phone number.
* The dope-slap became one of the best character signatures of Soledad from the Spanish sitcom ''7 Vidas''.
* Leo does this to Josh in ''[[The West Wing]]'' after Josh mocks a sentimental tradition of Leo's: "First of all, ''that'' (OW!) is for 'total crackpot day'."
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'': In the pilot episode, Dean reprimands Sam by slapping him in the back of the head. Strangely, this is the dope-slap's only occurrence, although Pam gives Dean one as revenge for getting her killed.
* ''[[Bones]]'': Hodgins does this to Zach in "Intern in the Incinerator".
Line 207 ⟶ 205:
'''Zack:''' Ow. }}
* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'': While in prison, George Bluth does this to his son GOB after he reveals that he enlisted his fourteen-year-old nephew to break into a permit office and plant evidence, despite the prison's "very strict 'no touching' policy." According to George, "it's worth a week in the hot box."

* This happens to [[Royal Brat]] Juan in ''[[The Borgias]]'' after he brutally [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomps]] his stepfather Theo. Rodrigo is ''not'' amused and delivers one hell of a [[Reason You Suck Speech]], orders him to apologize and threatens to disinherit him if he does anything of the sort again. Juan agrees to do as he's told, but just when it looks like all is forgiven, he gets an almighty slap just to drive the point home.

Line 229 ⟶ 231:
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has the emote "/smack", which, when used, will smack whomever the player is targeting upside the head. This is purely text however, as nothing actually happens with the characters.
* ''[[Lego Adaptation Game|LEGO]] [[Indiana Jones]]'': Dr Jones Senior dope-slaps Indy at least twice.

* In ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] Girl's Side 2'', [[Tsundere|Saeki Teru]] will give the heroine a "chop" with the side of his hand when he thinks she's being dumb. The new skinship system allows the heroine to do the same to Teru or any of the other guys.
