== Anime And Manga ==
 
* This is how ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' starts. Yugi is working on his [[Artifact of Doom|puzzle]] when bullies Honda/Tristan and Jounichi/Joey start picking on him and playing [[Keep-Away]] with it. Then Joey throws a piece of the puzzle into the pool. This is the start of a beautiful friendship. No, seriously.
** [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series|"We're tormenting you~!"]]
** The beautiful friendship only starts when Yugi decides to [[Save the Villain]] (not that either of them could count as villains, but still), Jonouchi/Joey has a [[Heel Face Turn]] and ''dives into the pool to get the missing piece back for Yugi.'' THAT'S the start of the beautiful friendship.
 
Line 23:
** It is also subverted when Marty takes the kid's scooter then turns it into a skateboard, making it ''way cooler''. After kicking some serious ass he gives the cooler toy back to the kids.
* ''[[Kung Fu Hustle]]'' has it when Sing stomps a football and says his first line: "NO MORE SOCCER!" It's a reference to the director's previous film ''[[Shaolin Soccer]]''.
* Kiefer Sutherland's character does this with the boy's baseball cap in ''[[Stand Byby Me]]''.
* In ''[[Dennis the Menace US|Dennis the Menace]]'' [[The Movie]], the fugitive/convict/whatever comes up to a kid and asks "Whatcha eatin', sport?" The kid replies, "Uh Appul (A apple)." Then the convict stabs the apple with his knife and pulls it out of the kid's hand. Then he proceeds to eat a bite in front of the crying child.
* In ''[[The Professional]]'', Stansfield steals a basketball from some kids on the street and when they complain states they should be in school anyway.
Line 30:
== Live Action TV ==
 
* In the ''[[Are You Afraid of the Dark?]]'' episode "The Tale of the Dark Music", a bully takes a kid's bike and throws it onto the street where it gets run over by a passing bus.
* ''[[MASH]]'': BJ & Hawkeye were feuding with Charles - he was playing his french horn annoying them, so they refused to shower until he stopped. Eventually the rest of the camp ganged up on BJ & Hawk and hosed them down. Charles watched this with delight... until someone took away his french horn, laid it on the ground, and ran over it with a jeep.
** This is a rare example of Charles being the victim rather than the snob.
Line 36:
== Video Games ==
 
* In Yuuko's chapter of ''[[Ef: aA Fairy Tale of Thethe Two.]]'', bullies do this with Yuuko's indoor shoes, hiding them on top of the lockers, which causes her to have to go around all day in her socks. {{spoiler|Eventually subverted--Yuuko hid them up there herself to create the illusion that she was being bullied, so that she could better manipulate Yuu.}}
* In ''[[Fallout]] 2'', you can break a kid's toy in a small sidequest. You even get [[Experience Points]] for teaching him that "life is cruel and unfair".
 
Line 46:
''Nelson takes the remote and gives a more spectacular stunt. ... it finally ends its trip crashing on the roof of a mysterious old house.'' }}
** Another, though this time subverted, example from the show is when Mr. Burns does this simply out of curiosity, but he's so old and decrepit that "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/like_taking_candy_from_a_baby taking candy from a baby]" is not as easy as he had thought.
* In the ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show|Ren and Stimpy]]'' short "Sven Hoek", Stimpy and Ren's equally [[The Ditz|moronic]] cousin, Sven, are seen playing their favourite board game, [[Schmuck Bait|Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence]], which indeed has an actual [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|electric fence]]. When Ren comes home from work, he finds they've also, in their idiocy, destroyed his most precious belongings. In the midst of a psychotic rant [[Cut His Heart Out Withwith a Spoon|outlining the terrible things he has planned for them]], Ren discovers the board game, and asks tauntingly, "Do you like this game? Do you really, ''really'' like this game?" and proceeds to take a leak on it. The resulting short generates an explosion that literally blows them all straight to Hell, where the Devil admonishes them with "You whizzed on the electric fence, didn't ya?"
* ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]''. Whenever Meat Wad gets something, anything, Shake destroys it. Eventually, Shake is reduced to burning holes in Meat Wad's carpet, the only thing he has left.
** This backfires on him in "Video Ouija". Shake commits suicide so he can haunt Meatwad through the titular Video Ouija game, but by this time Meatwad has grown bored of it, leaving Shake stuck as a ghost caring for a perpetually crying ghost baby.
