* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20306431/chapters/48140335 Once Bitten, Twice Shy]]'', Marinette gave Adrien one of these when he insisted that she should stop trying to expose [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]] because her lies "weren't hurting anyone". As a result, Adrien is secretly ''pleased'' to see how much she's suffered due to Lila's manipulations; to his mind, Marinette ''deserves'' to suffer for not listening to his advice... even though said suffering is evidence that Lila ''is'' hurting others with her deception.

* ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'': When Valmont sees Valerie Payne in a black dress in Chapter 22, he mockingly says it [[SheCleansUpNicely makes her look so fabulous]] Shendu wouldn't be able reign in [[VillainousCrush his lust towards her]]. Furious that the greedy crime lord she detests would suggest such of the demon who've shown NobleDemon behavior [[MoralityPet towards her]], Valerie slaps Valmont and tells him that as evil as Shendu is, even he has more honor than the crime lord.

* ''Fanfic/ShadowsOverMeridian'': When [[KnightTemplar Vera Bexley]] yells at her fellow captives who've [[KnowWhenToFoldEm chosen not to follow her example]] as {{Defiant Captive}}s that they don't deserve to call themselves Meridian's protectors in Chapter 30, [[CommanderContrarian Amelia Emmony]] slaps her longtime rival and tells her off for daring to say that when though ''she'' was the one who [[spoiler:[[EtTuBrute betrayed them all]] by using them as pawns of [[RevengeBeforeReason her personal revenge]]]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Parodied in "Zapp Gets Cancelled" when the Hyper-Chicken/Matcluck thinks Zapp referred to him as "frivolous poultry". Since he's, well, a chicken, the "slap" is just a half-flap of his wings that softly brushes Zapp's face.

''Natsuki's hand came out; heat exploded on the older woman's cheek.''\\

* ''Anime/AccelWorld'': After Haruyuki accuses her of using him as a pawn to degrade herself, Kuroyukihime slaps him and starts crying because she's very hurt to hear him demean her feelings for him in such a way.

* ''Film/HomeAlone2'': When the concierge at the hotel (played by Creator/TimCurry) smugly offers Kevin's mother an IronicEcho of her own words about her son being lost in a major city after she says she's going out to look for him, she slaps him across the face. Chastened, he says she'll want to take a coat, as it's cold out.

* ''Literature/OthersidePicnic'': Zigzagged. Toriko has a habit of striking Sorawo whenever the madness of the Otherside is threatening to overwhelm her, typically a case of GetAholdOfYourselfMan. However, when Sorawo makes an offhand remark that Toriko is turning into a domestic abuser, Toriko is clearly hurt by the remark and tries to refrain from doing so later, offering a BigDamnKiss instead. However, when Sorawo is suffering from a case of LaserGuidedAmnesia, and can't remember Toriko, Otherside, Kozakura, Migawa, or UBL, Toriko slaps her in front of everyone. Kozakura and Migawa assume it is because Toriko is upset that Sorawo forgot her, making it an Indignant Slap, especially due to their recent RelationshipUpgrade, while a still-amnesiac Sorawo thinks Toriko is flying off the handle. Toriko herself claims it was PercussiveMaintenance, and that it had worked in the past. Toriko ends up having to use her invisible hand and [[EyeScream insert a finger into Sorawo's MagicEye]] to restore her memory.

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'': During the Cotton Drifting Arc, Rena reveals to Keiichi that everyone in town knows that he and Shion were the ones who violated the ritual tool shed the night of the Festival. She's also deduced just what happened to the people who have gone missing after that night, and who is responsible, and knows that it comes from Keiichi and Shion going into the shed. Then she slaps him hard, declaring, "I don't think anyone's punished you yet." Keiichi doesn't protest.

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': Sally asks Sonic to finally stay with her, but [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies he turns this down because he still has to defeat Eggman.]] Sally becomes positively furious and slaps him across the face, accusing him of being more concerned about beating Eggman up than about her.

* ''Film/DuckSoup'': Played for laughs - Fredonia leader Rufus T. Firefly (Creator/GrouchoMarx) is asking his advisor Bob Roland (Zeppo Marx) for a way to get rid of the Sylvanian ambassador.
-->'''Bob Roland:''' We've got to get rid of that man at once. Now I've got a plan. You say something to make him mad, and he'll strike you... and we'll force him to leave the country.
-->'''Rufus T. Firefly:''' That's a swell plan... why couldn't you arrange for me to strike him?
-->'''Bob Roland:''' Ambassador Trentino is a very sensitive man. Perhaps if you insult him. He's very easy to insult. Why, I said something to Vera Marcal in his presence once, and he slapped my face.
-->'''Rufus T. Firefly:''' Why didn't Vera slap your face?
-->'''Bob Roland:''' She did.
-->'''Rufus T. Firefly:''' What'd you say to her?
-->''[Roland pulls in close and whispers it in his ear. Firefly gasps and slaps his face.]''
-->'''Rufus T. Firefly:''' You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Where'd you hear that story?
-->'''Bob Roland:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Why, you told it to me.]]
-->'''Rufus T. Firefly:''' Oh yes, I remember. I should have slapped Mrs. Teasdale's face when she told it to me.

-->'''Mrs. Kintner:''' "I just found out, that a girl got killed here last week, and you knew it! You knew there was a shark out there! You knew it was dangerous! But you let people go swimming anyway? You knew all those things! But still my boy is dead now. And there's nothing you can do about it. My boy is dead. I wanted you to know that."

* ''Series/{{Haven}}: In season 4's "William," Nathan accuses Audrey of being interested in newcomer William while under the influence of a substance that induces paranoia. When he goes too far and makes a particularly crude remark, Audrey slaps him. It's a particularly pointed use of the trope, since Nathan [[FeelNoPain can't feel anything]] ''except'' [[AntiMagic Audrey's]] touch.
