Line 20:
* There is a ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' episode where the heroes and villains fight over the then unhatched Togepi egg while maneuvering through Weezing's smoke. Pikachu ultimately catches it before it could shatter, but Misty's the main [[Team Mom|mom]] to it.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', Jonouchi/Joey and Honda/Tristan throw around a piece of Yugi's Millennium Puzzle before Joey tosses it into a pool. Later on, when Yugi stands up for the two of them, Joey gives the piece back.
** [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|We're tormenting you!]]
* In one of the animated adaptations of [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]], Satako and a couple other students do this with one of Rika's books. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Cue Rika beating the stuffing out of Satoko with a chair]].
* [[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]: In the manga, Ranma, Genma, and Soun toss [[Dirty Old Man|Happosai]] between the three of them in order to keep him away from Pantyhose Taro. Ranma even says:
Line 37:
* Mr. Toad and his friends Mole, Water Rat, and Angus [[Mac Badger]] actually do this to the deed for Toad Hall at the end of ''[[The Wind in The Willows]]'' segment of ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (Disney)|The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]'' in order to get rid of the evil innkeeper Mr. Winkie and his army of weasels, who have taken over the mansion after framing Toad for allegedly stealing a car.
* Baloo and Bagheera actually do this to Mowgli near the middle of ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney)|The Jungle Book]]'' in order to rescue him from King Louie and the other monkeys. Curiously enough, the animation for this scene was actually taken from the above film.
* [[Aladdin (Disney)|''Aladdin: The Return of Jafar'']] ends with Aladdin and his friends attempting to get [[Jackass Genie|Jafar's]] lamp away from Jafar and [[Harmless Villain|Abis]] [[Punny Name|Mal]] in order to destroy it, because according to Genie, the only way to kill a genie is to destroy his lamp before his summoner can wish him free (at which the genie becomes invincible afterwards). Jafar finds out about this, and as a result he traps the heroes in a pit of lava, with the lamp just out of reach. Fortunately, [[Heel Face Turn|Iago the parrot]] shows up in time, grabs Jafar's lamp, and throws it into the lava. [[Family -Unfriendly Death|Cue Jafar getting electrocuted, turning into a skeleton, screaming throughout, and exploding violently.]]
* The climax of [[Shrek|''Shrek 2'']] did this with the Fairy Godmother's magic wand.
 
Line 46:
== Live Action Television ==
* The Doctor and [[Action Girl|Ace]] with the Bow of Nemesis in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' serial ''Silver Nemesis''.
* ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]'' has a memorable sequence of yoinks as the Wind and Thunder Rangers fight for the Wind Rangers' [[The Obi -Wan|mentor]], currently [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock|a guinea pig]] in a pet ball-sized force field.
* Apparently ''[[Monk (TV)|Monk]]'' played this version right through College. [[Chekhov's Skill|It becomes useful.]]
* Used as a spoof of Rugby in ''[[Maid Marian and Her Merry Men (TV)|Maid Marian and Her Merry Men]]''. Just to add to the spoof, they're using an actual egg.
