To add extra humour, the person doing the attack may actually hurt ''themselves'' attempting the [[Groin Attack]]. Cue several seconds of cursing and clutching at the affected area - long enough for the attacked to retaliate.
 
Not to be confused with [[Brass Balls]], nor [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9tanque |boules of steel]]. Subtrope of [[Kung Fu Proof Mook]].

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* In an episode of ''[[The A-Team (TV)|The A-Team]]'', a bad guy slams his rifle into BA's crotch with no effect.
* Used in Series 3, Episode 7 of ''[[Primeval]]'', where Danny tricks a knight with the old [[Look Behind You!|Look Up]] routine, only to discover out his groin is armour protected.
* Used in the ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'' episode "Hot to Katratzi", where Chiana confronts a Scarran who had captured her earlier. After verifying his identity, she asks him if Scarrans have [[Pardon My Klingon|mivonks]], and abruptly knees him in the groin before he has a chance to respond. As she lies on the floor clutching ''her knee'' in pain, the Scarran informs her that they do have them, but they're not external.
* One clip shown on ''[[The Smoking Gun Presents Worlds Dumbest]]'' had a woman kicking a cop in the groin repeatedly (his "offense" was trying to arrest her for assaulting him to begin with). He didn't seem to even notice, although commentators did.
