[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] - a character takes a bullet to the hindquarters. The ultimate in [[Amusing Injuries]] which, as well as being [[Only a Flesh Wound]], is an assisted [[Literal Ass-Kicking]] by a bullet to the buttocks. Or an arrow. Or a bolt of lightning. Or anything. Usually [[Played for Laughs]] because, seriously, a bullet to the ass?

 

If you happen to deliver one of these, a "[[As the Good Book Says...|turn the other cheek]]" one-liner is always good form.

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'':

** ''Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu'': The trope is [[Played for Laughs]]. The boys are trying to spy on the girls while they are in the hot spring, Kurz is shot in the buttocks with a laser and loses the ability to [[Crowning Moment of Funny|to go on]] and must leave it to Shinji to protect the male honor.

* ''[[Mad Bull 34]]'': Happens to Sleepy during a gunfight, just when he mentions how it's [[Tempting Fate|fortunate that he's wearing a bulletproof vest]].

* Happens to Amata in ''[[Aquarion Evol]]'' a few times to stop him from floating/his emotions getting out of control.

 

 

== Literature ==

* In the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' stories, Dr. Watson says in some stories that he was shot in the arm, and in others that he was shot in the leg. One of the sillier [[Epileptic Trees|fan theories]] to explain the discrepancy is that he was really shot in the behind and was too embarrassed to say so.

* In Carl Hiassen's ''Skinny Dipping''.

* Honey West is shot in the butt in ''This Girl for Hire''.

* ''[[NCIS]]'': Gibbs inflicts on a poacher. It's strongly implied it's on purpose.

* ''[[NCIS: Los Angeles]]'': Deeks presumes this happened to Kensi when she won't tell him where she was shot.

* One of the best lines from the ''[[MSTing]]'' of ''[[The Final Sacrifice]]'': "''Ow.'' You shot my butt. What the ''hell'', you ''shot'' me in the ''butt!''"

* In an episode of ''[[NYPD Blue]],'' Andy Sipwics is shot several times by an enemy and left for dead; as a parting-shot, the enemy then shoots him once in each buttock as a final insult. Sipowics lives, but he's forced to sit on an inflatable donut for some time.

* In the ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' episode "Sateda", McKay gets shot in the rear end with an arrow, in a [[Crowning Moment of Funny|CMoF]].

'''Max''': So did they. }}

* In the second episode of ''[[The Finder]]'', ''Bullets'', Walter is searching for a decades-old missing bullet which can clear a death row inmate, a former cop convicted of killing another cop. Walter ends up shooting {{spoiler|a corrupt former internal affairs officer}} in the ass. The reason? {{spoiler|The internal affairs officer was the real killer, but the wrongly convicted officer had gotten a shot off when the murdered officer was gunned down. That shot had ended up in the internal affairs officer's buttocks, and had never been removed, causing him to sit uncomfortably. And so, Walter 'finds' the bullet by shooting the man in the same cheek, so that when the new bullet is dug out, the old one will be as well.}}

* During one of Tim Conway's "Old Man" sketches on ''[[The Carol Burnett Show]]'' the Old Man is an old west sheriff who's "quick" draw ricochets several times [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP6yDJEPDKA&t=7m35s before hitting him in the rump].

* [[Grey's Anatomy]]: "[[It Makes Sense in Context|You shot Dad in the ass]], '''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|are you happy now?!]]'''"

 

== Newspaper Comics ==

* In [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]], the owner of the "Drunken Huntsman" explains the name of his shop as coming from an incident when he and his brother had gone hunting after consuming "a bit too much mead." When they separated, his brother, in his inebriated state, mistook him for a deer...and shot him in the "rump" with an arrow.

** At least it wasn't [[Memetic Mutation|his knee]].
