When Alice menaces Bob by threatening to kick his ass, Bob assumes it is a metaphor. An "ass-kicking" is a figure of speech that usually means any sort of beating or punishment. But this time, Alice was not speaking figuratively. She [[NoIAmBehindYou gets behind]] Bob, winds back, and delivers a mighty kick directly to his tender bum-cheeks. Alice makes Bob shout "[[OwMyBodyPart Ow, my ass!]]" thereby making him ''look'' like a complete ass, to the amusement of other characters and the audience.

These examples have someone getting shot in the butt or having something else cause pain to their rear. This trope is specifically about someone getting kicked in the butt. The examples in-question go under Pain To The Ass or another related trope, not here.


* ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' gets a stray arrow stuck in his butt and doesn't even notice till Fiona points it out.
* Dash in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' uses his SuperSpeed to pull the tack-on-the-seat trick on his teacher.



* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'' Gru's obnoxious date, Shannon, cops a dart in the derriere from Special Agent Lucy Wilde!



* ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' were constantly getting stabbed, [[ShotInTheAss shot]], and dynamited in their rears.



* In ''Series/ChicagoPD'', Platt tells Ruzek that she was actually shot in the rear rather than the hip like she tells everyone, saying that her ass counts as her "high hip". She swears him to secrecy.



* Robert on ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'' was gored by a bull in the backside (although he insists it was in the "upper thigh").
** Later episodes show that the injury ''was'' in the upper thigh.



* There was an episode of ''Series/FamilyMatters'' where Carl Winslow gets shot in the butt and ends up in the hospital next to Steve Urkel who'd just had his appendix removed, unfortunately for him.
* Rodney [=McKay=] took an arrow to the arse in one episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis''. Naturally, he whined about it the rest of the episode, and most of the next one.
* In an episode of ''Series/TheParentHood'', the father gets shot during an attempted mugging. After the prerequisite drama is wrung out of his subconscious watching his family crying over him in a hospital bed, the angel that comes to take him to heaven stops when he learns he was shot in the ass, and it was non-fatal.
* In ''Series/HogansHeroes'', Colonel Hogan once set the spiked helmet from Colonel Klink's desk down on the commandant's chair just before leaving the office. He'd almost made it to the outer door when Klink sat down and screamed.



* The Uga Buga boss fight in ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' takes this to the extreme--you do damage by biting chunks of flesh out of this huge caveman's ass, leaving gaping red wounds behind.



* There is an EasterEgg in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', in which Moblins hop in pain crying when you stab them in the butt.

(I'll get a) Kick in the ass (Full-circle) ([[HeWhoFightsMonsters Full-circle]]) Kick in the ass''



For some reason, {{Slapstick}} comedy often seems to involve a character [[AmusingInjuries injuring]] their butt. Possibly it's just because it's humiliating, making this essentially the rear-oriented counterpart of the GroinAttack.

Especially common in cartoons, where this often takes the form of one character sticking a long pin into another character's behind, making them jump away, or straight up in the air, with a yell.

Another form of this old slapstick trope has someone [[RumpRoast sitting on something unexpectedly hot]]. Yet another is getting [[ButtBiter bitten on the backside]], usually by a dog or some similar animal. Might be part of literally GettingTheBoot and forcefully removed from a location. Then, of course, there's the old "ThumbtackOnTheChair" gag. And certainly not least, that perennial favorite, ThePratfall.

The unlucky recipient's reaction is likely to be a PainPoweredLeap.

Related to AssShove, which happens when something goes ''into'' the butt, and ShotInTheAss, the specific case of, well, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin and PainToTheAss.

Contrast AssKicksYou. KinkySpanking is the titillating variant. ComedicSpanking is a related concept.

For some reason, When Alice menaces Bob by threatening to kick his ass, Bob assumes it is a metaphor. An "ass-kicking" is a figure of speech that usually means any sort of beating or punishment. But this time, Alice was not speaking figuratively. She [[NoIAmBehindYou gets behind]] Bob, winds up, and delivers a mighty kick directly at his tender bum-cheeks.

A {{Subtrope}} of PainToTheAss, and SisterTrope to ShotInTheAss and ButtBiter. This applies when "ass-kicking" is presented as a LiteralMetaphor, and is likely PlayedForLaughs. A NoHoldsBarredBeatdown may be nothing to laugh at, but a boot to the bum is intrinsically comical, because [[JokeOfTheButt butts are funny]].

Like any
{{Slapstick}} comedy often seems to involve a character [[AmusingInjuries injuring]] their butt. Possibly it's just because it's humiliating, making this essentially aggression, it is generally more humiliating than painful. It can inflict AmusingInjuries or have silly effects on the rear-oriented counterpart of the GroinAttack.

Especially common in cartoons, where this often takes the form of one character sticking a long pin into another character's behind, making them jump away, or straight up in the air,
victim, who might:
* hobble away
with a yell.

Another form of this old slapstick trope has someone [[RumpRoast sitting
boot-print [[ButtSticker stamped on something unexpectedly hot]]. Yet another is getting [[ButtBiter bitten on the backside]], usually by a dog or some similar animal. Might be part of literally GettingTheBoot their backside]].
* let out an undignified yelp
and spring upward in a PainPoweredLeap.
* get kicked [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom Across The Room]] like a football.
* be
forcefully removed from a location. Then, location, as part of course, there's literally GettingTheBoot.
* have to pry footwear out from between their cheeks after an AssShove. The aggressor threatened to "put a boot up their ass" and then [[LiteralMetaphor did exactly that]].
* get [[MegatonPunch launched into
the old "ThumbtackOnTheChair" gag. And certainly not least, that perennial favorite, ThePratfall.

The unlucky recipient's reaction is likely to be

Related to AssShove,

Compare GroinAttack,
which happens when something goes ''into'' to an adjacent part of the butt, body and ShotInTheAss, can be even more devastating.

When a butt is punished by a hand,
the specific case of, well, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin and PainToTheAss.
