Like [[Percussive Maintenance]], but for people.

Might overlap with the [[Dope Slap]]. May also be used on a [[Hysterical Woman]]. Similar in spirit, but not so much in execution, to [[Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off]]. Compare with [[Quit Your Whining]], in which it is verbal, but this trope can be used to "spicen" it up. If you need to lay a full-on beating to snap someone out of it, see [[Beat the Curse Out of Him]].
The ''[[Myth Busters]]'' tested a myth based on this trope and found that -- at least when dealing with someone who's merely tired and frazzled rather than suffering from a more serious condition -- a slap to the face ''does'' help the slapped person to focus on the task at hand and perform better. Apparently the idea is to invoke the 'fight or flight' response by temporarily boosting adrenaline and related hormones. Nevertheless, it should be applied with extreme caution, as [[It Got Worse|smacking someone who's already suffering can easily do more harm than good.]]
For reassembling after destruction, see [[Pulling Themselves Together]]. Also not to be confused with [[A Date With Rosie Palms]].
