* In ''[[Naruto]]'', Team 7's bell test challenge against Kakashi involved the unveiling of his secret technique, "One Thousand Years of Death".

* In "[[Red Hot Riding Hood]]", Wolfie sticks Grandma in the butt with a needle and she jumps through the roof of her penthouse. The sticking is usually edited out when shown on television, so you just see Wolfie holding the needle and then it cuts straight to the jump.
* Many was the time in [[Tom and Jerry]] when Tom would get his butt pricked with a pin by Jerry or have something heavy fall on his tail, always resulting in one of two hilarious [[Stock Scream
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''; in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQrKZcYtqg&list=PLDpZdP4i5RSAbweT1NYrcYTvhcla5EZp3&index=3 the "Istanbul Not Constantinople" skit], Hampton uses the pin-to-the-butt trick to get a stubborn camel to giddyup.
