* In the [[Spice Girls]]/[[Backstreet Boys]] fic, ''[[In The Dark]]'', Mel gets Melanie to throws at windows of Otis Darwin, as a way to overcome her trauma. Officer Shaw checks it out, and he gives [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right| his baton to destroy Otis's TV set]], blaming it on vandals. He knows who really did it but opts to help.

Line 43 ⟶ 47:
* [[Glee]]: Finn, still seething after the betrayal of his best friend's affair with and impregnation of his girlfriend, [[Big Damn Heroes|gets to Sectionals with enough time]] to teach the group a few songs he printed off with the Cheerios printer. After he "trashed the thing."
** In a much earlier episode, Mercedes had developed a crush on Kurt (unaware that he was gay). After he turned her down, but failed to mention he was gay, she smashed his windshield, then sang a song about it. Possibly not an example, as the window smashing may not have been to make herself feel better, but to [[Inverted Trope|make Kurt feel worse]].
* [[Buffy]] Season 2 episode 1, where she ground [[The Master (trope)|The Master]]'s bones to dust using a sledgehammer.
** Spike spends much of the 7th season of the show with an intense case of [[Badass Decay]], presumably due to the after-effects of him being given a soul, and then tormented by the First Evil. After retrieving his [[Badass Longcoat]], he tracks down the Monster of the Week and engages in a brutal brawl with the guy (this being the first time we see Spike enjoy himself all season) before snapping its neck. Afterwards, he tells the corpse that a good fight is "Good for the Soul."
** "A New Man". Giles, after a [[Humiliation Conga]] of events make him feel outdated and useless, comes across his old enemy Ethan Rayne and says, "You have no idea how much thrashing you is gonna improve my day."
** In "Ted" Buffy claims she's not angry over her [[Parent with New Paramour|mother getting a boyfriend]]. [[Gilligan Cut]] to Buffy whaling the crap out of a vampire with a dustbin lid while a nervous Giles stammers that she really should move on to the staking...
* When [[Angel]] sees his [[Love Interest]] Cordelia having sex with his son, he kicks down the door to the stairwell, then we hear the sound of him doing the same to every other door he comes upon.
* [[Star Trek:

{{quote|"Still.. It ''felt'' good."}}
* ''[[The Goodies]]''. In "Lighthouse Loonies" Bill goes insane and ends up chasing Tim around the lighthouse wielding a pie. After eventually copping Tim in the face with it Bill says calmly, "I feel better now."
Line 63 ⟶ 67:
** Zuko does this ''a lot''.
* Ren in ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' does it sometimes. A particularly good example is the beginning of the ''Adult Party Cartoon'' episode "Altruists", where he beats Stimpy up as if it's some kind of routine.
* When told she needs to stop working so excessively, Nicole of ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' decides to start breaking household objects to relieve stress.
* Benson from ''[[Regular Show]]'' does this often, as he has anger management issues. It's lessened gradually, thanks to character development.
