== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Dalek", there's a scene with groups of soldiers attacking the eponymous Dalek from three different directions. It's got a force field and bullets do not penetrate. It shoots, and one [[Red Shirt]] gets [[Death Ray|Death Rayed]]ed. It turns, and shoots another. Then again, another. One by one, in no particular hurry. The bullets are ''still'' not having ''any'' effect whatsoever. However, instead of saving their bullets (and lives) and leaving to come up with a better plan, they keep going until all are slaughtered.
* ''[[wikipedia:Invasion: Earth (TV series)|Invasion Earth]]'' (1998) had the military destroying a massive alien...thing that appeared, only for another one to appear in its place. It was theorised that an infinite number of these aliens were stacked up in alternate realities, waiting to replace each one that's destroyed. Nevertheless the general in charge gives a defiant speech about how they're going to nuke each one that appears, no matter how many, because the fate of the human race is at stake. The series ends without us finding out whether these "all or nothing" tactics are effective.
** Basically the aliens want to turn all life on Earth and everywhere else into [[Organic Technology]] slaves. Most races are pacifists and kill themselves rather than be used. Humans being [[Humanity Is Superior|awesome]] [[Humans Are Bastards|bastards]] decide to do as much damage to the aliens as possible and exterminate all life on Earth in the process out of spite.

* [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]]d in the ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'', when a typical giant [[Monster of the Week|monster]] appears to wreak havoc in the city...
{{quote|'''Fighter Pilot''': "Roger, Bravo Delta, this is Sitting Duck. I have Bogie Queen in my sights, and I'm, uh, going to shoot bullets at it now."}}
* This is Zapp Brannigan's modus operandi in ''[[Futurama]]'' to simply throw men into a hopeless battle until something happens. It actually works against the kill bots because they have a kill meter and once they reach maximum kill counts they shut off.
