* In ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-Bit Theater]]'' Black Mage, soon after becoming a Blue Mage (which allows him to learn attacks he survives getting hit with) is hit by a "Goblin Punch", which is actually just a kick in the nuts from a non-goblin monster (the attack was named by "the greatest cryptozoologist in all Red Wizard history, Blindy O'Sightless").

* In one ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' strip, Gabe ends up downloading a patch for ''[[Video Game/Starsiege Tribes|Tribes 2]]'' that ends with an OK button and the message "Click OK to be kicked in the beanbag".

Ben then mentions how the trope normally applies to girls as Sanny writhes in pain.
