* Lan goes into an angst session roughly once per ''[[Mega Man Battle Network (Video Game)|Mega Man Battle Network]]'' game, but he only got ''hit'' for it once, by Baryl ([[Badass|awesome]] human general regardless) in ''Battle Network 5'' after Mega Man gets possessed by the [[Enemy Within]]. In ''Battle Network 6'', when the Cyber Beast is possessing Mega Man, Heatman or Aquaman likewise hits him back into control.▼
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
** Geo follows in his footsteps by doing the exact same thing in the [[Mega Man Star Force (Video Game)|Mega Man Star Force]] series whenever someone betrays (or appears to) him . Here, the [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] comes in the form of being promptly and scathingly chewed out. Doesn't always work though.▼
* In ''[[Disgaea 2]]'', Adell does this to Rozalin once to snap her out of {{spoiler|her shift into her [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]}}. He applies [[Shut Up Kiss|a different method]] the next time it happens, though.▼
▲* Lan goes into an angst session roughly once per ''[[
* In ''[[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]]'', [[Evil Genius|de Loco]] has a lieutenant whose entire job is to shout this and shake him around when needed. [[Running Gag|Which is pretty often]].▼
▲** Geo follows in his footsteps by doing the exact same thing in the [[
* Done TONS of times at one point in ''[[Tales of Rebirth (Video Game)|Tales of Rebirth]]''. After {{spoiler|driven berserk and attacking his teammates}}, Veigue starts blaming Agarte for being behind him being separated from Claire all the time. Until Tytree tells him to come to the beach with him. When Veigue arrives, Tytree gave him a punch in the face, and then Veigue hit back, and so on. So much until there's a mini battle where you control Veigue to punch on Tytree's face, while he'll do the same (no conclusion). Only until the end of the battle and the interference of his friends that Veigue finally gets a hold of himself.▼
▲* In ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', Adell does this to Rozalin once to snap her out of {{spoiler|her shift into her [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]}}. He applies [["Shut Up" Kiss|a different method]] the next time it happens, though.

** Also in the same game, Annie Barrs has the Force of Rain. Other than weather manipulation, she uses it to calm panicked or angered people down.

** In Edward's defence, he ''does'' grow some during the remainder of the game, particularly with [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|the Dark Elf incident]] (and in the GBA Remake, he's very useful late in the game). The sequel especially makes him a ''veritable'' [[Badass]], probably deliberately to compensate for his pathetic nature early in the first game.
* Professor Layton has one, complete with slap, with Clive in a flashback in the third game.
* Lightning from ''[[
** [[Summon Magic|Eidolons]] are basically this trope [[Up to Eleven]]; when a l'Cie reaches the [[Despair Event Horizon]], it conjures their Eidolon, who gives them a simple ultimatum: snap out of it or die.
* In ''[[Lunar Silver Star Story Complete|Lunar: Silver Star Story]]'' (GBA and PSP versions as well,) Mia does this via [[Armor-Piercing Slap]] to {{spoiler|the exposed face of a [[Powered Armor]] clad Nash}} in order to stop his {{spoiler|betrayal and opposition to the party's attempts to fight Ghaleon}}. {{spoiler|Taben also forces the [[Powered Armor]] to attack the party after the fact, as Nash tries in vain to stop it and the party is forced to beat it down.}}
* In ''[[Threads of Fate]]'', there is a scene in both character's storylines where the Prima Doll has a temporary breakdown about soon fulfilling his purpose and afterward being considered worthless. Rue calmly talks him out of his slump. Mint slaps him and goes off on a rage about how pathetic he sounds.
* In ''[[
* Yukari does this to Mitsuru once in ''[[Persona 3]]''. In ''[[Persona 4]]'', this is actually a ''combat ability'' your party members can learn when [[Level Up At Intimacy 5|their Social Link gets high enough]], allowing them to automatically cure [[Standard Status Effects]] after a critical or exploiting an enemy's weakness.
* The standard cure for [[Standard Status Effects|confusion]] in ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' and other [[RPG|RPGs]] is to attack the afflicted character. While it is preferable to use the [[White Mage]] or [[Squishy Wizard]] to attack for minimal damage, any character can be used. Even the one who wields the [[Big Fancy Sword|sword the size of a small building]].

* In ''[[Suikoden]] [[Suikoden II|II]]'', the [[Hello, Insert Name Here|main character]] can catch one of these from--of all people--[[The Strategist]] if you, the player, insist on trying to run away from the whole damn war. It's noteworthy because, in the main series, it's one of the few times a strategist ever so much as lifts a hand to ''anything.''
* In ''[[Suikoden IV]]'', Snowe gets punched in the face by Commander Glen twice. Unfortunately, it doesn't help, as Snowe doesn't understand ''why'' -- if anything, the second slap makes things ''worse'' by making him even more confused and [[The Resenter|more resentful of Lazlo]], as he doesn't get why ''he'' gets punished for his attempted [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment while Lazlo was praised for seemingly doing the exact same thing.
* In Claude's story path in ''[[
* In a Variation/Subversion/Whatever, in ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'', [[The Generic Guy|Russel Bergman]] does this to Katina Tarask, which goes [[Hot
** This also happened to Calvina Coulange in ''[[Super Robot Wars]] J'' (Straight play of [[Heroic BSOD]]) in wake of {{spoiler|finding out her boyfriend and old pupil was alive, but was actually the bad guys and sent her in a traumatic trance in the past}}, resulting her going almost batshit to her [[Unwanted Harem|three female friends]]. And since Bright Noa was absent... [[Full Metal Panic!|Melissa Mao]] comes in and delivers the <s>Bright</s> Mao Slap to straight Calvina up.
** An iconic scene in ''[[Super Robot Wars 4|Super Robot Wars F]]''. Bright Slaps [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji Ikari]] for chickening out to use the EVA due to lots of psychological issues. Shinji responses ''just'' like Amuro in the original series: "Not even my father hits me!"
*** Which is ironic, since in the actual series... ''almost everyone "except"'' his father hits him. To count, Toji, Misato, Asuka, and even ''Rei Ayanami''. Maybe they really wanted to make a homage to ''Mobile Suit Gundam''?
*** Or it had something to do with the fact that everyone in SRW looks up to Bright as a leader. Bright was a better father figure than Gendo without a doubt. It's one of the reasons SRW Shinji becomes so Badass.
** Midway through [[Super Robot Wars Z|Super Robot Wars Z2-2]], Crowe goes berserk after {{spoiler|[[Player Punch|Esther's transformation into a DAMON]] }}, and it takes {{spoiler|Rand (and his giant wrench)}} administering a beatdown severe enough to ''blow up his mech'' to get him back under control.

* In ''[[Resident Evil]] 3'', in one of the various story paths, Carlos starts to panic about not getting out of the city. Jill responds by slapping him, which causes him to run off. Later he has a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment after Nemesis poisons Jill.
* ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'' 's Kanetsugu is unlucky enough to get a corrective punch from Keiji when {{spoiler|about to commit seppuku after hearing of Mitsunari's death at Sekigahara}}. Considering that Keiji is the series' answer to [[Memetic Badass|Lu Bu]]... ow. Ow ow ''ow''.
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]'' features a rare ''mechanical'' version of this. Peace Walker begins malfunctioning after Snake's first fight with it, then the [[Big Bad]] in a passing helicopter shoots it with a few harmless bullets, which causes it to collect itself and remember it has to travel to Nicaragua.
* ''[[Steel Battalion]]: Heavy Armor'' looks like it'll be using this as a ''game mechanic'', thanks to Kinect. Crewmate interactions are a big part of the game, and slapping them across the face to make them get a hold of themselves is an option.
* The battle with [[Beauty and
