It could be considered a subtrope of [[Slapstick]]. In a [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]], it's most often done with a [[Paper Fan of Doom]].

** Rukia and Renji deliver a tag-team Dope Punch to Ichigo for [[Idiot Hero|running off into Hueco Mundo carelessly, without telling them]].
** Anime episode #160: During a [[Flash Back]], Kaien Shiba gives Rukia one while they're in a forest in the Soul Society. She wasn't paying attention to him and even yelling and shaking her didn't work.
Line 55:
** The Tiger of Kai isn't content to deliver a simple dope-slap to [[Idiot Hero]] Yukimura Sanada. When he says something truly dumb, he delivers a dope PUNCH, usually sending Yukimura through the nearest door, or into a wall. He's always up again a second later though.
** Magoichi also whacks Motochika on the skull like this to bring him to his senses. It stings, but doesn't send him flying.
* ''[[Futaba-Kun Change!|Futaba Kun Change]]'' The wrestler sisters Karin and Anzu regularly give each other a karate chop on top of the head... or a dope punch... or a ''dope kick in the face''... usually berating the other for her
* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai]]''
** Episode 2. The maids use a bright light to cover up their assisting Taro in solving a math problem in class. When one of the maids tries to explain the light as a U.F.O., another maid gives her one of these and tells her to think of a better excuse.

* This is [[Team Dad|Gibbs']] favorite form of discipline in ''[[NCIS]]'', especially to Tony, who reminds Gibbs of himself in his younger days. He does it regularly enough that the other characters have called it the Gibbs-slap.
** Honorable mention to Gibbs' reaction to catching Tony looking at "Page 57" of a men's
** Tony, for his part, has at least gotten smart enough to dope-slap himself on occasion, and once got offended that Gibbs ordered Ziva to administer when Gibbs wasn't within arm's reach.
** However, it also conveys a sense of
** Furthermore, after being injured in an explosion, Gibbs suffers from amnesia and can't remember anyone or anything that happened after the end of his Marine career. Ziva manages to restore his memory by grabbing his hand and dope-slapping herself with it.
** In one episode, Gibbs dope-slaps ''himself'' after tampering with evidence ([[It Makes Sense in Context|which was for a good cause]]).
Line 185:
* Repeatedly applied to Henry in ''[[You Rang, M'Lord?|You Rang M Lord]]'', generally after he's made an [[Deadpan Snarker|accurate but unflattering observation]] about one of the other characters. It happens often enough that on one occasion, he hits himself preemptively to save someone else the bother. It doesn't seem to stop him being snarky, though.
* Several episodes of ''[[The Amanda Show]]'' features skits involving Tony Pajamas (Drake Bell) and his lackey (Josh Peck). Josh would frequently say or do something stupid, get hit and ask, "What was that for?!" To which Tony would reply, "For bein' an idiot!" which Josh would accept with an "Okay."
* ''[[Friends]]'': Chandler manages to earn a five-person dope-slap (or at least two or three plus some stuff thrown at him...) after a particularly flagrant bit of [[Hypocritical Humor]] when he criticizes a [[Love Interest Of The Week]] for being "desperate"
* The dope-slap is a [[Running Gag]] on ''[[My Wife and Kids]]''. Junior, not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, often said or did dumb stuff, leading to a dope-slap from another character, usually Michael or Jay.
* In Brazil, comedic show ''Pânico na TV'' gave the dope-slap a [[Memetic Mutation]], with a skit where a parody of a sports show host slapped two dwarves nicknamed after soccer players, along with the phrase "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW0jHsZWvJk Pedala], Robinho!" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OYI8ci8l24 Samba], Tevez!"

Line 313:
** In one episode, Peter tells the family that their tax refund will let them buy something they've always wanted. Chris suggests a cat and gets dope-slapped by Brian. Meg suggests a stereo and gets dope-slapped by Stewie. Then Lois says "A pool?" and gets dope-slapped by Peter, who then realizes what she said and responds "Oh, sorry, it ''is'' a pool."
** There's another early episode, where peter loses his job and goes on welfare. When he tells Brian he got off subject by telling Lois she was getting fat, Brian rolls up the newspaper and whacks him twice saying "No. No."
* "[[Evil Old Folks|Mom]]" on ''[[Futurama]]'' frequently dope-slaps her children, occasionally all three of them at once. Being [[Expy
* As opposed to a full-handed slap, Uncle of ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' delivers a hard, two-finger hit to the forehead for anyone whose foolishness has earned his disapproval. Be they Jackie (many times -- [[And Another Thing|"One more thing!"]]), allies, ''enemies'', or even himself.
* Ren from ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' does this to Stimpy on a semi-regular basis after he's said something really stupid.
