History Main / GiantFootOfStomping

* ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'' has the Stomponadon ([[BossSubtitles Triassic Steamroller]]): a giant, irritating dinosaur foot from nowhere with a habit of slamming down on your face with the speed of lightning, causing HPToOne followed by death. The relatively easy way to cross the Stomping Plains involves turning on invincibility powers and just running through, but the really annoying part comes later when you have to go through again with each character separately (which proves that [[GoodThingYouCanHeal it's a very good thing that Banjo can heal himself]]).

* Paul Bunyan of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' explains her [[LimitBreak Noble Phantasm]] to be an attack that uses the raw power of the United States's founding myth as a concept and converts it to energy to defeat the opponent. By all appearances, it's actually just her [[SizeShifter growing to her maximum size]] and then stomping on the opponent. (This is generally considered a good thing, because this means its animation is about two seconds long.)

* [[http://www.increpare.com/2010/02/crush-fetish-trilogy/ Crush Fetish Trilogy]], which--due to Adobe Flash being discontinued--is no longer playable online.
** On that subject, there's also [[http://vggtsworld.ta-host.com/where/freeware.htm Big & Small and The Diminutive Experience]] (both of which can be found on that page), whose main point is to stomp on and crush as many objects and people as you can, or to avoid being stepped on while rescuing other shrunken victims in TDE's "main mode's" case. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgEe4t5OaVE A video for TDE]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS0Qqw8IQj4 one for Big & Small]]. They are also subject to DoesNotLikeShoes, so these games are prime fetish material.
* These are an obstacle in the fourth level of ''VideoGame/{{Bugdom}}''.

* [[http://www.increpare.com/2010/02/crush-fetish-trilogy/ Crush Fetish Trilogy]].

* In the first ''VideoGame/NarutoUltimateNinja'' video game, Sakura has a special attack where she uses a Genjutsu to make herself giant-sized and stomp on her opponent. Kakashi and Sasuke, as they can use their Sharingan ability to copy fighting styles, can also use this attack when mimicking Sakura.

** The end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-gfC1upmo King K. Rool's reveal trailer]] for ''Ultimate'' has him lying defeated as Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong celebrates. He crawls off the screen and return as a giant that immediately stomps both Kongs into the ground.

** During an ''[[WesternAnimation/TheItchyAndScratchyShow Itchy and Scratchy]]'' segment the end of another episode, Itchy--after failing to catch a speeding Scratchy--prays in front of a church he passes. Then God stomps Scratchy and sends him to Hell.

* Parodied twice in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' with Mandy. The first was the "Crushed" title card, and the second in the intro to the ChristmasSpecial after Mandy says "Bah-humbug".
* ''WesternAnimation/BambiMeetsGodzilla'' ends this way.

* The intro of the ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' segments included in the old ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperHeroes'' cartoons included a shot of a giant Hulk foot stomping on artillery.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
** In an episode featuring the outrageously British, psychedelic villain Mad Mod, this character uses mass hypnosis to convince the city that the American Revolution never happened and that they are all under British rule, proclaiming himself "King Moddy I". The episode is full of homages to British pop culture, and at the end of a small montage set to a Not!Beatles song, the Titans are crushed by the Creator/MontyPython foot.
** Also, [[LetsYouAndHimFight Cyborg tries to crush Bumblebee]] in one episode this way before realizing they're on the same side. (Of course, Cyborg isn't giant, Bumblebee's powers make her the size of a regular bee.)

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' has a 50-foot tall Jade do this to the attacking Dark Hand thugs. However, since they're under the influence of Dao-Long Wong's magic they only disappear when smashed. Even Valmont is savvy enough to see their impending doom when the Dark Hand starts attacking the 50-foot tall girl.
* During an episode of WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold titled "Powerless!", Captain Atom comes up with several scenarios in which Batman is defeated easily. One of them involve him confronting a rampaging Giganta, who simply stomps on him.
* At the end of the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "Memory of a Memory", Jake does this to Marceline's ex-boyfriend Ash.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'': This happens to Quailman a few times, by way of a giant stone foot falling on him.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' features one episode with a giant robot crustacean dominating New New York:
-->'''Old Man Waterfall:''' You can crush me, but you'll never crush my spirit! [CRUSH] Agh, my spirit!
* ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'': Rex's Punk Busters, where he uses his nanites to create giant mechanical boots for himself with the function of jumping long distances InASingleBound, kicking really hard, and crushing foes underfoot.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' shows this in the original intro as [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]] becomes Giant-Man and flattens a HYDRA robot.
* In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', Dr. Doofenshmirtz invents the "Giant Carbon Footprint" -- a giant foot made out of an ungodly amount of carbon paper.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', the girls are shrunk down to battle a rain of nano-bots that has started eating the city. The remaining bots then [[CombiningMecha combine]] into a giant mono-bot and gain the upper hand. But since the "giant" mono-bot is only three inches high, Professor Utonium steps on it.

* The giant girl Gullivette in Episode 22 of ''WesternAnimation/DofusKerubsBazaar'' attempts to do this to the heroes towards the end of the episode.
* When Glomp and Hoogi perform a FusionDance to catch the [[BigBad Scorpi]] + [[BalefulPolymorph Glurt]] [[MergingMistake Murp]] in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'' episode Murp Romp, they get smashed by a giant foot [[ShoutOut à la]] ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''. Something similar happens when Burnard and Meltus try to combine [[FusionDance combine]] the first time to free Flamzer from a Forest Freeze in the first segment of "Mixels Moon Madness", though it [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes horribly wrong]] and results in a [[BalefulPolymorph Murp]].
* In episode 12 of ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn'''s first season, the Queen of Fables sends Harley's crew up the beanstalk from Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk, with the intention of having the giant in the clouds kill them. During the fight, the giant stomps on Clayface, but due to his physiology, he easily survives albeit [[SquashedFlat left a flat mess on the bottom of the giant's shoe]].
* Season 4 of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' introduces the villainness known as "Sole Crusher", whose ability allows her to absorb people through her boots, which makes her stronger and also makes her grow bigger the more people she absorbs. Initially starting out by [[KickChick kicking people]], once she's grown big enough, she simply starts stepping on people.

** Pictured is the [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orcs]] and [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Goblins]]' spell "Foot of Gork," which summons the giant spectral green foot of one of the greenskins' [[WarGod war deities]] to step on an enemy unit. "Gork's Warpath" is an improved version of the spell in which multiple units get stomped in a single turn, with the caveat that Gork might get carried away and step on some friendly units as well. [[FanNickname Players affectionately refer to it]] as the "Tapdance of Gork."

* In ''[[VideoGame/PrimalRage Primal Rage 2]]'', one of Malyssa's finishers in her human form has her shrink her opponent, and then stomp and grind them into a bloody pulp under her bare foot.

* At the beginning of ''Film/TheLuckOfTheIrish'', the main character Kyle has [[NightmareSequence a nightmare]] in which he's bug-sized on the auditorium stage during a cultural event. His love interest Bonnie calls for him on he mic to come on next, completely unaware that he's right next to her foot calling for her, and she ends up stepping on him by accident.

* [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Jim Davis's]] first comic strip, ''Gnorm Gnat'', ended with a giant foot crushing the titular character. [[spoiler:[[LyingCreator Except not really]]. It turns out the real final ''Gnorm Gnat'' strip was Gnorm wishing viewers a merry Christmas, and Davis made up the stomping foot story because he [[OldShame wasn't too fond of the comic]].]]

* Happens to a shrunken Kyle in the movie ''Film/TheLuckOfTheIrish'', by the foot of one of the teachers. She is completely unaware of it, however; and the sequence itself was more of a DreamSequence.

[[StockShoutOuts Many western uses of this]] are [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] to the one from the animated segments of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' and are not meant as serious. This is because western audiences often find the idea of a giant foot coming down rather silly. In eastern works, however, this trope is less likely to be used in humor and instead takes a more horrific or badass tone, due to a giant foot that crashes through the roof being an ominous {{yokai}} or a ShoutOut to Franchise/{{Godzilla}} and other {{Kaiju}} fiction.

* About halfway through the ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' song/episode "Unpack Your Adjectives", we see a very tall, lanky girl with a short, chubby boy. The boy starts laughing at her, so much so that he's completely unaware that she is growing even taller--so much so that only her legs are visible by the end of it--all the while he is shrinking. By the time he realizes what's going on, it's too late as the girl quickly stomps him flat. [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2y2s9_unpack-your-adjectives-stomp_fun See it here]].

* [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2y2s9_unpack-your-adjectives-stomp_fun This scene]] from the "Unpack Your Adjectives" song/episode of ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock''.

** The game is given an overhaul in ''Game & Wario'', which while it retains the girl stomping at a Fronk (with her foot now being much bigger due to the closer camera angle), it also adds in Wario-Man having to avoid being crushed by a dinosaur, and--in a bizarre twist--a Goomba-suited boy who actually ''must'' try to get [[GoombaStomp stomped on]] by Mario.

** One of the scribbles on the PictoChat 2 stage has a giant pair of boots walk through the stage, stepping on and burying any player caught beneath them. They sometimes have cleats.

* ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' features the "Sole Man" series of micro games, where you control the bug-sized Fronks from being stomped on by a giant foot. The size of the foot changes with the difficulty, starting with a girl's sneaker as the smallest, then a man's shoe, and ending with an overweight woman's sandal being the largest and hardest to avoid.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', one of the microgames on the ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' stage is a recreation of the above-mentioned "Sole Man", but this time as the playable Fighters having to avoid being stomped on.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' starting with ''3DS/Wii U'', Bayonetta is a playable character, and just like in [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} her original games]], she can summon the massive foot of Madama Butterfly to stomp her opponents with her Down Smash attack. It's highly effective against airborne opponents and opponents clinging to a ledge, since it has a meteor effect.

* The first episode of ''Dark Temptations'' on Creator/InvestigationDiscovery featured a man with a fetish for being crushed to death, and at one point his fantasy is described and depicted as [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever a giant Roman goddess going on a rampage in a village]], crushing several men including himself beneath her sandals.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', one of the mini-games on the ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' stage involves the players dodging a giant foot stomping down on them. Of course, this is also one of the many MicroGames in the ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' games.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'', Bayonetta is a playable character, and her Down Smash uses Wicked Weaves to summon the massive foot of Madama Butterfly to stomp her opponents. It's highly effective against airborne opponents and opponents clinging to a ledge, since it has a meteor effect.

* [[http://www.timeslikethis.com/?id=506 This]] ''Webcomic/TimesLikeThis'' strip (a ShoutOut to ''WebAnimation/ASDFMovie 4'').

* Happens in ''Film/{{Oyayubihime}}'', at least from the shrunken Aya's perspective. [[{{Yandere}} Saeko]] discovers that Aya tried to use her computer to call for help, and catches her trying to sneak away. Aya cries for mercy only fall on deaf ears as Saeko squishes her under her foot, before throwing her away in the trash bin.

* ''Series/TheTripods''. The protagonists escape being squished by a Tripod because they're hiding in a [[ConvenientCranny cleft of rocks that absorb the impact]]. In the first episode of Season Two however, a freeman gets killed this way when he runs near the Tripod to divert its attention from his friends

* This happens to a poor sap towards the end of the 14th episode of ''Anime/HellGirl'', by way of a giant girl in a kimono.

* In the ''Literature/GiveYourselfGoosebumps'' story ''Literature/ScreamOfTheEvilGenie'', one of the storylines involves the JerkassGenie Jenna [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever growing gigantic]], and you have to chase after her. One bad ending has [[TooDumbToLive you opt to follow her on-foot instead of riding a tiger]], and you end up getting stepped on when she turns around to check if you caught up her.

* ''Series/{{Knightmare}}'': One magical artefact brings a large boot down from the top of the screen to squash enemies flat.

* In the ''Literature/GiveYourselfGoosebumps'' story ''Literature/ScreamOfTheEvilGenie'', one of the storylines involves the JerkassGenie Jenna [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever growing gigantic]], and you have to chase after her. One bad ending has [[TooDumbToLive you opt to follow on-foot instead of riding a tiger]], and you end up getting stepped on when she turns to check if you were following her.
