* A noticeable [[AvertedTrope aversion]] from ''WesternAnimation/OzzyAndDrix''. When Hector takes a nasty spill off his bike, he displays actual symptoms of a concussion. Noticeably, intense dizziness, and confusion.

* A noticeable [[AvertedTrope aversion]] from ''WesternAnimation/OzzyAndDrix''. When Hector takes a nasty spill off his bike, he displays actual symptoms of a concussion. Noticeably, intense dizziness, and confusion. The entire plot of the episode is Ozzy and Drix, being the only ones who aren't naturally a part of Hector's body, being the only ones actually aware of the danger poised, and having to kick-start his brain, so he doesn't fall into a coma and die.

* A review of ''VideoGame/MagicCarpet'' in the now-defunct magazine ''PC Zone'' included a picture with a caption that advised readers to simulate the (impressive for the mid-90s) visual effect by "hitting yourself very hard in the temple with a heavy object". (''PC Zone'' was gonzo like that.) [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial This is not the proper venue to discuss whether any impressionable young future tropers actually did.]]

* ''FanFic/HuntingTheUnicorn'' averts this. Blaine gets a concussion from a moderate fall in a fight [[spoiler: before he gets kidnapped by his StalkerWithACrush]], rambles about nonsense for half an hour, and runs off in a panic which extends the police search for him. He degenerates into having headaches that he can't communicate about properly, getting nauseous, and in the chapter ''The Red Bull,'' he's making no sense to anyone. [[spoiler: He tries to reason with his stalker, and instead watches Kurt nearly get choked out.]] Considering this took place over the later half of a day, which is stressful for ''uninjured'' people, it's pretty understandable that he starts crying when the paramedics finally load him up.

Lauren isn't used to this, at all, and suspects it's either heaven, or entirely a product of hir imagination.

** The "don't fall asleep part" is a common misunderstanding with concussion victims--sleeping is perfectly fine if you're tired and in a safe place. The problem is if you ''don't wake up'' (someone needs to wake the victim up about once or twice to make sure they aren't in a coma) or if you aren't acting normal/coherent upon waking, at which the person needs to go to the hospital for potential brain damage.

* In the ''ChipAndDale'' short "Working For Peanuts", DonaldDuck chases the two chipmunks until slamming his head into a wall after they escape through a hole. He then sits there with swirly eyes and a toothy grin on his face; later on in the short the elephant he was taking care of finds him [[OverlyLongGag still like this]].
** A similar one happens in the short "Dragon Around" where DonaldDuck is building a road and the chipmunks' tree is in the way, so he has to get rid of it. When his crane (which the chipmunks think is a dragon) gets damaged so that the shovel's teeth are removed so it can no longer dig, he resorts to try ramming the tree with it, only for the chipmunks to loosen all the screws/bolts/nuts, so as Donald is charging towards the tree, his crane falls a part leaving only him charging towards the tree, then hitting his head on it, leaving him dazed. Dale then imitates Donald after finding it funny.
