History Main / ElectricJoyBuzzer

* One of the pranks pulled by Pinkie Pie in the ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Griffon the Brush-Off".

* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'', Monkey tries to get Tigress with a "[[JoyLuckClub joy luck buzzer]]". Tigress doesn't fall for it, and doubts anyone is stupid enough to do so. But Po does. Repeatedly.

-->'''The Joker:''' ''Well, Tony, nobody wants a war. If we can't do business, why, we'll just shake hands and that'll be it.''

* On ''TheBigBangTheory'', Sheldon rigs one up to use on Howard, powerful enough to nearly knock himself out when he tested it. When he uses it on Howard, however, he appears to collapse from a heart attack and is forced to administer a syringe of adrenaline straight to the heart, ''PulpFiction'' style. Of course, Howard was faking it and it was all an elaborate counter-prank. Sheldon {{facepalm}}s himself... [[HoistOnHisOwnPetard and knocks himself out with his own buzzer.]]

** The picture at the top of the page is one of Joker's attacks in ''MortalKombatVsDCUniverse''.

* You can get one in KingdomOfLoathing from the skill Summon Hilarious Objects. When equipped, it provides a skill that deals damage if your foe falls for it. [[spoilers: they never fall for it.]]

** In ''MortalKombat vs TheDCU'', the picture at the top of the page is from one of the Joker's attacks.

** He also occasionally uses a version that is ''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel a needle poisoned with his Joker Venom]]'', as seen in TheKillingJoke when an unfortunate businessman, having just sold him an [[CircusOfFear abandoned]] [[AmusementParkOfDoom amusement park]], [[TooDumbToLive shakes hands]] with him.

* TomAndJerry
* BugsBunny
* Most human {{Monster Clown}}s
* In one ''SesameStreet'' Muppet sketch, the prankster Harvey Kneeslapper intended to use one of these for a gag involving the number 5.
* Featured prominently in ''WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': "The hand buzzer. Still our biggest seller." Marvin Acme's joy buzzer was designed to look like a fancy jeweled ring befitting a millionaire businessman/prankster.

* Riff's [[http://pics.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060530 Omnitaser]] [[http://pics.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060531 Joy-50]] from ''SluggyFreelance''. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since it's as large as a joybuzzer would realistically need to be for that sort of electrocution.
* In ''{{Arfenhouse}}: [[TheMovie Teh Movie]]'', Piakchu uses one of these on Joe. The buzzer then flies off shouting "SO LONGG, SUCKKKREZA!" Yeah, it's a weird movie.
* TruthInTelevision: You asked for it?.. [[http://www.cracked.com/article_16032_p2.html There]], first item (#13). If you'll look at others, you may need BrainBleach, though.

* Destroyman of ''NoMoreHeroes'' uses this during the pre-battle on Travis. He seriously thought he was going to die laughing from how Travis fell into it.
* [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]] used a magical one on Mousse in the manga.

* Bangladesh [=DuPree=] in ''GirlGenius'' [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041231 found]] an unconventional use for a tweaked medical device installed on her hand after it was crushed in the previous fight, that is more in line with [[PsychoForHire her personality]].

* Bangladesh [=DuPree=] in ''GirlGenius'' [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041231 found]] an unconventional use for a tweaked defibrillator or something, that is more in line with [[PsychoForHire her personality]].

** In a crossover with ''StaticShock'', the Joker attempts to use one on [[ShockAndAwe Static]]. Of course, it fails, and Static shows the Joker his own version of the ElectricJoyBuzzer.

*** He didn't shake hands with him. Joker came up behind him and slapped him on the back. Poor sucker never had a chance.

* This troper is sure that someone, somewhere, in some game of DungeonsAndDragons has used the spell [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Shocking Grasp]] for this. Though to accurately follow the trope (in that a device is used for the electrocution), the only way this troper can think of would be for a [[{{Eberron}} Warforged]] to have a wand of Shocking Grasp built into its arm (thereby removing the need for arcane gestures and words, which would kind of give the trick away).

From [[MonsterClown clowns]] to [[PsychopathicManchild big kids]] and [[TeenGenius kids with big brains]], you can count on them pulling out one of these eventually. Usually made by AcmeProducts or a competitor, these seem to appear everywhere in media. In fact, this trope is probably the only reason that people are even surprised by the real thing anymore, as no such thing as an actual shocking joy buzzer has ever been produced (it's a vibrating device instead).

Examples:

-->--''{{Film/Batman}}''

-->'''Antoine Rotelli:''' "What if we say no?"
-->'''The Joker:''' "Well, Tony, nobody wants a war. If we can't do business, why, we'll just shake hands and that'll be it."

* This is one of the pranks Sims can pull on each other in ''TheSims 2''.
