** In "[[Recap/DoctorWho2023CSTheChurchOnRubyRoad The Church on Ruby Road]]", the Doctor drags a goblin airship down onto a church's spire [[TimeyWimeyBall to save adult Ruby as a baby]], which skewers their [[AdiposeRex Goblin King]] through the chest.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' goes even more extreme in its impaling in ''State of Decay'' when [[spoiler: the Doctor impales the Great Vampire with a rocketship]].
** [[spoiler: Rory Williams, the Last Centurion]] has one of his own in "The Pandorica Opens." To summarize, a view of the scene from the side: Tip of sword, gargantuan-and-thick-as-hell door, torso of a Cyberman ''hanging off the ground'', hilt. "Extreme Prejudice" indeed, but then, [[spoiler: that's what that Cyberman gets for messing with the woman he loves.]]

** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E130The7thIsMadeUpOfPhantoms The 7th is Made Up of Phantoms]]", Private Michael [=McCluskey=] is struck in the back with an arrow when he enters a Sioux encampment during the Battle of Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E151TheEncounter The Encounter]]", when Arthur Takamori attempts to kill Fenton with the samurai sword for the second time, Fenton manages to subdue him and knock the sword out of his hand.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "The Hunters", one of the prehistoric hunter ghosts impales Dr. Klein with a spear. The sheriff discovers her body lying face down with the spear still in her back.

** The pilot starts with Henry in a subway accident, getting impaled through the chest on a torn pole. He later records in his journal the nature and location of his injuries and the level of pain on the scale of 1-to-10 (the pole is rated a seven). Presumably, he does this with each new type of death he experiences.

** Adam runs a taxi driver through with a katana in "Skinny Dipper" as part of his plan to frame Henry.
* ''Series/ForeverKnight'' had this, Nick did it to Lacroix with a burning rod after Lacroix came into his apartment in the pilot and the place caught fire. Somehow,despite what usually happens to vampires that catch fire, Lacroix survived, though, and came back to haunt Nick in season 2.

* In the ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' episode "[[Recap/BoyMeetsWorldS5E17AndThenThereWasShawn And Then There Was Shawn]]", which serves as an homage to {{Slasher Movie}}s, this is how Kenny and Mr. Feeny are killed: Kenny with a large pencil driven into his head and Mr. Feeny with scissors lodged in his back. Both deaths were [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowed]] earlier in the episode. Luckily, it was [[AllJustADream all just a nightmare]] Shawn had.

** Yue Qi gets impaled by General Cheng's BladeOnAStick. He doesn't die immediately, so General Cheng then stabs him with a knife. A few minutes later [[LaserGuidedKarma Cheng himself gets impaled]] by Chu Qiao's sword.

** This tends to happen a lot, typically by way of a really powerful MonsterOfTheWeek or villains above them on the threat scale impaling the HumongousMecha somehow, often disabling it (temporarily or permanently); other times, it'll be the heroes who impale the monster, typically as part of a special attack, though ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' had this as the regular finishing move of one of the mecha combinations via [[ThisIsADrill a drill]] [[BladeOnAStick staff]]. However, this almost always gets cut for ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' (presumably because of the censors being concerned that the kids watching would try to imitate it), and thus [[{{Bowdlerize}} cut and ignore it as much as possible]]; this could lead to awkward situations, not the least being the aforementioned Megazord finisher from season 1 of ''Mighty Morphin'' (they'd try to cut around it, but it was still obvious what happened).

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In the Season 1 finale, Claudia stabs Antoinette, who has just fallen to the ground after being punched, with a fire poker which goes through Antoinette's chest, which pins the latter to the floor.

* ''Series/SweetHome'':
