Glove slap, baby, glove slap!"''|'''[[The B-52's|The B 52s]]''', on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''}}

 

* ''[[El Cid]]'' plays it straight

* Woody Allen's ''[[Love and Death]]'':

* Parodied in ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]''. The Sheriff of Rottingham does this to Robin to challenge him to a duel, and Robin responds by slapping him back... with a metal gauntlet.

** Except the Sheriff had no intention of fighting fair.

* In ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'', Colonel Vogel slaps Henry several times with his glove until Henry grabs his wrist stopping him.

* In ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', Lumiere does this to Cogsworth at the end of the movie.

* On ''[[Drake and Josh]]'', Josh (disguised as a doctor) does this to Drake before he is about to perform surgery because the staff believes he is a famous doctor (which is inevitably proven wrong in the end of the episode).

* On ''[[Chapelles Show]]'' Charlie Murphy tells the story of when Rick James(played in flashback by Dave Chapelle) slapped in a nightclub. An incensed Charlie explains why it :

 

 

* ''[[Cyrano De Bergerac]]'': Invoked by Christian and Cyrano, but neither of them plays it straight:

Hey? }}

** At Act I scene IV, Cyrano talks about it to provoke De Valvert… and also because [[Impoverished Patrician|Cyrano is so poor he doesn’t have gloves.]]

I threw it in the face of. . .some young fool. }}

 

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''- Homer is inspired to do it by a ''[[Zorro]]'' movie and keeps it up once he realizes people will just give him what he wants because they don't want to duel. He receives his comeuppance ([[Halfway Plot Switch|and the rest of the episode's premise]]) when he slaps an actual [[Southern Gentleman]] in the course of slapping a long line of people.

** Later in the episode, the Simpsons have fled their home to avoid the duel and come across [[Jimmy Carter]] working on Habitat for Humanity. Homer, obviously not having learned anything, tries to needle him into building him a house; Carter pulls out a glove and Homer screams and drives away as fast as he can.

* ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'', episode ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5jvZ4zoXoU Duel Personality]'' - Jerry gets sick of the chase in one episode, somehow lands inside a glove drawer, motions Tom to stop and proceeds with the glove slap after which they seem to agree to a series of organized feuds involving cannons and slingshots. After the battles are over and Tom is again chasing Jerry in the same way as before, Jerry glove slaps Tom again, except this time Tom takes the glove and slaps Jerry over and over when chasing him.
