Prank items used in imitating horrifying injuries. May result in [[Crying Wolf]] or [[Deadly Prank]].
 
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
 
== [[Film]] - Animation ==
* On ''[[Pocahontas (Disney)|Pocahontas]]'', Radcliff's valet Wiggins pulls the old arrow-through-the-head bit.
 
== [[Film]] - Live Action ==
* In ''[[E.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)Extra-Terrestrial|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', Michael's Halloween costume includes a gag item simulating something sharp stuck through his head. ET appears concerned that he's been genuinely injured.
* There is a scene in ''Summer School'' in which a teacher walks in to find his entire class has apparently been massacred, as they are lying around covered with gaping, seeping wounds. This is shortly revealed to be a prank.
* In the third ''[[Scary Movie]]'', one of the main character's friends from the previous film fakes these (being expected to die in 7 days as part of the film's status as a parody of ''[[The Ring]]'') before being killed off proper.
* ''[[April FoolsFool's Day (Film)|April Fools Day]]'' took this to the extreme.
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* One ''[[Far Side]]'' comic had a reversal of the fake-arrow-through-head hat, an indian with a fake ''rifle'' stuck through their head.
* ''[[ShermansSherman's Lagoon]]'': Sherman attempts to pull this gag. The lagoon gang is trying to hide a whale from hunters when Sherman comes up claiming to have been harpooned through the head. Filmore doesn't fall for it and tell him to just "wait over there till this is over."
 
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
== [[Real Life]] ==
* [[Steve Martin]] wore a hat that portrayed an arrow through his head as his trademark.
{{quote| [http://legends.disney.go.com/legends/detail?key=Steve Martin "The arrow-through-the-head was a thing we used to sell at Disneyland," Martin says, "It was just so silly. It was like anti-comedy."]}}
* Basically any high end magician/illusionist act. Sawing a person in half, spearing the armoire with swords, etc.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* One of the [[Nice Hat|Nice Hats]]s you can now get in ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' simulates a large butcher knife stuck in your head. (This being ''[[Bloody Hilarious|Team Fortress 2]]'', it may well be an ''actual'' butcher knife stuck in your head.)
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'': in the ''Big Picture Show'' movie, Ed and Eddy manage to scare Edd in the gag factory wearing items that portray with a fork and an axe through their heads respectively.
