{{examples}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Naruto]]'': During the Chuunin exams, Neji damages Hinata's heart during their fight. A heartbeat sound and a picture of a heart appears from time to time, and she reacts as though she's in pain.(This example is from the Anime; it may have been depicted differently in the Manga)
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', when Usop is hit in the face by a 4 tonne baseball bat. Complete with the picture of his bones shattering. Good thing he had the [[Heroic Resolve]] on that time...
Line 15:
* ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' used this effect to an absurd extent, which [[Amusing Injuries|added to the hilarity]]. For example, even Moe twisting Curly's nose or ears would be accompanied by a loud crackling noise.
* ''[[The Dark Knight]]'': Batman holds Maroni off the edge of a building, threatening him for information. When Maroni informs him that it's not high enough to kill him, Batman agrees, then promptly drops him. The crunch when he lands on his ''feet'' is sickening to say the least.
* ''[[The Ruins]]'': Two girls decide it is a [[What an Idiot!|good idea]] to ''pick up and move'' a man who has just fallen 20+ feet and says he can't feel his legs. [[Sickening Crunch]] [[Hilarity Ensues|Ensues]].
* ''[[Insidious]]'': The sound that heralds the appearance of the demon is supposed to be the sounds of bones breaking, adding an extra shiver factor.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Discworld]]'': Used from time to time. [[Trope Overdosed|How could it not be?]]
* Pops up in [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] when {{spoiler|Ser Gregor Clegane kills Oberyn Martell. It's not shown just how Ser Gregor kills Oberyn, but judging from the sound and Ellaria's and Tyrion's reactions, it was a horrific way to go.}}
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 27:
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]''
** Supplement ''Fearful Passages'', adventure "Sleigh Ride". The [[PC|PCs]]s and an [[NPC]] named Chance are lying in ambush to try to bag some monsters when one of them sneaks up behind Chance.
{{quote| Chance, terrified, drops the rifle into the snow. He stands frozen just long enough for the creature to reach out gigantic hands and [[Neck Snap|wrench Chance's head with a sickening crack]].}}
** Campaign setting ''The Fungi From Yuggoth'', adventure "Castle Black". When the star vampire attacks Vetch it will inexorably bend him backward until his spine snaps with a sickening crunching sound.
