A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Grievous Harm
Why? Perhaps it's the vague club shape of the animal, since most uses of this involve swinging by the tail. However, the most likely reason is simply because ''[[Rule of Cool|it is so frikkin' awesome.]]''
Line 13:
Note this is actually hitting something with a fish. If it's merely tossing the fish anywhere other than someone you intend to hurt, it doesn't count.
The only case where [[Everything's Even Worse
Unless, of course, you're the one being cornobbled.
Line 24:
* During the Arlong Arc in ''[[One Piece]]'', Luffy grabbed the seamonstercow Momoo and used it to clear out all the [[Fish People]] Mooks prior to engaging the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]].
* ''[[Twentieth Century Boys]]'' contains a completely serious example: one member of the Friend cult responsible for {{spoiler|spreading the second wave of [[The Plague]] around Japan}} pretends to be delivering salmon to get into someone house, kill the girl inside, and erase the video she was sent that would prove he was there. When Kyoko tries to warn the girl over the phone, the man smacks the girl in the head with the salmon.

* In ''Jonah: A [[
* In ''[[Despicable Me]]'', Gru's rival Vector seems to have an obsession with [[Abnormal Ammo|guns that shoot sea creatures]], given his gushing over his "piranha gun" and his "squid launcher".
* In Disney's ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', Kings Stefan and Hubert get into an argument and the latter uses a swordfish as a sword while the former uses a plate as a shield. They eventually get over it.
** One Disney short showed Mickey Mouse doing the same thing while fighting against Pete, who was using a scabbard.
== Films -- Live Action ==
* There is a scene in ''[[My Super Ex
* Chris Farley in ''[[Beverly Hills Ninja]]'' [[Dual-Wielding|dual-wields]] fish towards the end of the movie.
* ''[[Dogma]]'': "Or you'll do what, exactly? Hit me with that fffffffish?"

** This is after a whale-tackle does work perfectly {{spoiler|in the first Megamorphs to shove a space-beast from Saturn into the ocean, as [[Weaksauce Weakness|water paralyses]] the millions of micro-organisms that it's built from.}}
* In ''[[Discworld
** There is a throwaway reference to a spree-killing by someone bearing the title of "The Notorious Herring Thrower". Granted, it wasn't ''specifically'' stated that throwing fish was how this person killed...
** According to the ''City Watch Diary'', there was once a laughable misunderstanding over the law that the Citizen's Militia should be armed with pikes.
Line 81:
* In ''[[City of Villains]]'', a high-level character may gain powers from [[Petting Zoo People|Captain Mako]] that allows you to project [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|spiritual sharks]] that pin enemies, hold them in place, knock them down and the like. [[Narm Charm|It's so stupid it's awesome.]]
** There is also a running gag on the official forums about Carp Melee, which originated when a poster misspelled a disparaging comment about melee power sets.
* Goro from ''[[
** Well, when it "breaks", it thaws. When it's "repaired", it's refrozen.
* Speaking of Frozen Tuna, you can wield one as a two-handed blunt weapon in ''[[Maple Story]]''.
Line 87:
* Joachim in ''[[Shadow Hearts]] Covenant'' can also wield a frozen tuna as a weapon, just one in a series of increasingly improbable [[Improvised Weapon|Improvised Weapons]].
** Frank from ''[[Shadow Hearts]] from the New World'' has a habit of creating [[Improvised Weapon|Improvised Weapons]] by sticking sword hilts onto.. anything, really. Including a Marlin.
* Death in ''[[Castlevania
* One popular mod for ''[[The Sims|The Sims 2]]'' turns the pillows into large fish when your sims start pillow fights.
** In the console version, the ''default'' for Slap is to slap with a fish. Depending on the other person's personality and the extent of enmity, they'll either walk away or pull out ''[[Always a Bigger Fish|an even bigger fish]]'' to slap the first one.
* Cat Kid units in ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' attack by pulling a large fish from [[Hammerspace]] and slapping things with it.
* Because of the way the item system works in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'', adventure mode makes it possible to use dead fish as weapon. A giant sperm whale is surprisingly effective, though it's so heavy that it slows you to a crawl.
** You're able to edit the tags that determine what creatures and items are made of. You could make fish out of adamantine, or mark fish as valid items to make weapons out of.

*** As if that weren't awesome enough, the Sharq Attaq comes with a shield... in the form of a ''"No Swimming" sign.''
* ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' has a halibut as a (very good) weapon. Why? [[Stealth Pun|Well...]]
** Also, every Turtle Tamer knows how to toss a familiar at an enemy. There are piscine familiars.
* ''[[
* ''[[
* The Scout from ''[[
* ''[[Dead Rising 2]]'' has a swordfish available as a weapon. It's not especially good (although it's alternate attack is a one hit kill... against a single zombie).
* On [[Gaia Online]], ''zOMG!'' has an attack ring that summons sharks to attack monsters.
Line 116:
* In ''[[Mega Man Powered Up]]'', Roll's [[Catgirl]] outfit uses a fish as a weapon.
* ''[[Shank]] 2'' allows the titular hero (or his friend [[Action Girl|Corina]]) to use frozen fish as weapons, or, in a variation, flick a switch and send either a net full of fish or a great white shark careening into their foes.
