* Issue ten of Marvel Comics' ''ComicBook/AgentX'' has the [[ProfessionalKiller titular character]] attempting to complete a contract on a FlyingBrick named Fight Man. He goes along with it just because he's too depressed by both his living situation and the fact that his ex-wife was the one putting out the hit. Bullets bounce off, [[PedestrianCrushesCar cars are equally useless]], as well as acid baths, explosives, electrocution, poisoning, and attempting to hang himself using suspension cable off a bridge just breaks the bridge. They might have succeeded when it turns he's vulnerable to [[WeaksauceWeakness choking on food]], but Agent X gives him a heimlich kick before thinking.
* A drawn-out gag in ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe'' has Gaston wanting to crack a walnut that proves to be incredibly tough. After clenching a nutcracker with all his strength, to no avail, Gaston tries stomping on it -- only to hurt his foot. Then he attempts smashing it with a hammer, which ends with several bandaged fingers. He even drops a bowling ball on it, making the whole floor shakes, for sole result to have the nut stuck in one of the holes. In a later strip, Gaston makes one last attempt by putting the walnut on the rail of a tramway -- leading to the tramway car derailing.

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': In "Much Ado About Nutting", a squirrel spends the entire cartoon trying to break open a coconut. Nothing it tries works, culminating in him dropping it from a tall skyscraper and only succeeding in ''pounding in the pavement below''. Once it finally ''does'' crack (with only minimum effort), the shell opens to reveal ''another'' shell.

* ''WesternAnimationEdEddNEddy'': "One of Those Eds" has the Eds along with Rolf, Kevin, Jimmy, and Sarah, all trying to dislodge a quarter from the sidewalk. Even Edd building a heavy digging crane couldn't get it out, making a crater around everything ''but'' the coin.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' short, "Yuckie Duck in Short Orders" has the title character serves a customer a steak that refuses to be cut and goes through every tool imaginable with zero results.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Edna shows Helen the new suits she designed for the Parrs, starting with Jack-Jack.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'': Once the townspeople snap after being trapped in the dome for a long time, they form a mob and try to break it open. Their efforts prove futile, including jackhammers, a BatteringRam, and even an ''elephant''.

* The aforementioned WebAnimation/YouTubePoop quotation is a parody of Creator/BillyMays' tendency to hit objects with hammers to demonstrate either their durability, or in the case of the Ding King, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGXbIfeuRY hitting a car with a hammer to show how easily the Ding King could reverse the effects.]]

* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', the entirety of Izuku's rematch with Bakugou is this. The latter pulls out all the stops and uses every underhanded trick he has to try and bring Izuku down. He stuffs bombs in Izuku's hoodie before detonating them, blasts Izuku out of the building with his grenade gauntlets, and tries to wrestle him to the floor for a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. But Izuku is [[NighInvulnerability Kryptonian]], and he barely feels it aside from ringing ears and a lightly singed costume.

->Why am I smashing my hand with this hammer? Why am I smashing my car with this hammer? Why am I smashing my table with this beautiful wood? Why am I smashing this 6000 pound car with the bug bazooka? To show you how I'm going to smash you, your family, and even your dog if you don't pay a fortune to me for whatever I'm selling.

* The whole plot of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS5E15TheVase "The Vase"]] is how Gumball, Darwin, and Anais try to destroy an impossibly tacky vase that happens to be MadeOfIndestructium. For example, hitting the vase head on with a fully loaded semi-truck and trailer just resulted in the truck flipping itself over on impact.
