* One of the most famous subversions was in the [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] [[Looney Tunes|cartoon]] "Bugs Bunny Rides Again", where Yosemite Sam fires at Bugs' feet and orders him to "Dance!"
* Variation: In an episode of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', a man swings his dual dao swords at Uncle Iroh's feet, prompting him to dance and avoid the blades. Upon closer inspection you can see he just slashes ''in front'' of his feet, so it really wouldn't hurt him if he didn't move (but then he wouldn't get paid for dancing).
* Parodied on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Burns' Heir", in a flashback where Mr. Burns recalls performing this trick with a single shot pistol - firing, manually loading a bullet and powder into the muzzle, cocking the hammer, and firing again while the victim dances obligingly.
* In the ''[[Dilbert (animation)|Dilbert]]'' animated series Dogbert abuses his diplomatic immunity by commanding a group of Elbonians to dance while firing at their feet. Dogbert then tosses them bandanas and orders them to ''riverdance''.
* Parodied in ''[[Kim Possible]]'', in the episode where Ron is obsessed with the boy band "Oh Boyz". He gets out of a cage and dodges ''heat seeking lasers''
* Sindbad, played by Bluto, does this to a captured Olive Oyl in ''[[Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor]]'' using a peashooter.
* Bruce Wayne in a rather embarassing scene from his three-part DCAU teamup with Superman in "World's Finest."
