* ''Series/UltramanDyna'' have this happening to the Ultra when fighting Jagira, a giant tree-monster, who entangles Dyna in it's roots and then smashing Dyna side-by-side. However this scene is PlayedForLaughs, and Dyna simply breaks out of those roots moments later.

* In the manga version of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'''s [[MartialArtsAndCrafts Martial Arts Figure Skating battle]], female Ranma jumpkicks Ryouga in the face --while he ''is'' hurt, he recovers instantly and grabs Ranma's foot, then SLAMS her on the ice of the rink so her entire body is flattened against it.

* The troll unexpectedly does this to Paul in ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached''. It expects a bloody shredded corpse when it's done. It's more than a little surprised (and terrified) when the annoyed [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] Paul, hanging upside-down in its grasp, says, "Are you quite finished?"
* ''Fanfic/GemsAreUnbreakable'': During one battle between [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Josuke]] and [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Amethyst]], he reverts the pavement into coal tar in order to stop her movements.

* The page image comes from the SNES port of ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ3Syf4fEYI Here's a video of it]]. It's also SimpleYetAwesome as it's a OneHitKill on all Foot Ninjas (the one being thrown, as well as those hit by him) and gives you more points than killing them normally.

* In ''VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes'' and subsequent LEGO Marvel games Hulk can do this movement to most enemies the same way he did it to Loki in the Avengers film.

* The Tank does this to some zombies in the intro movie of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.
* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series, Goro Daimon's signature grapple super takes this form. Orochi Yashiro has one as his command throw and two of his supers, assuming LimitBreak. Chang Koehan can also do this as a command throw, and one handed to boot.

* VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}: The G-type mech can do this to a stunned foe, and is hilarious to watch on mechs and bosses twice your size. And it even damages other enemies too!
* Oinkie uses this as his behind grab in ''VideoGame/AnarchyReigns''. With one hand. By the head. Effortlessly. Did we mention that some of the other characters are 9-foot close-to-a-ton-weighing cyborgs?
* This is the player's main attack in the N64 game ''VideoGame/IggysReckinBalls''. There's even a multi-hit variation where the victim is slammed back and forth and eventually straight through the ground. This is, however, time-consuming, and considering this is a ''racing'' game, the multi-hit doesn't get used too often except by SpitefulAI.
* Kyle Katarn will do this in ''[[VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]'' if [[spoiler: you turn to the dark side and have to fight him as the final boss.]] As a CombatPragmatist, he opens up with a knee bash to the face, then follows up with two side to side slams.

* This is D-Mob's back Blazin' move in ''[[VideoGame/DefJamSeries Def Jam Vendetta]]''. He grabs his opponent's legs and slams them on the ground face-first four times, the first three slams going back and forth, the fourth whipping the opponent around to land in the same spot as the previous slam.

* Alien Green from ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit'' can do this.
* Poachers beware, depending on how they stand with each other, the rangers can slam stunned enemies back and forth in [[VideoGame/{{Growl}} Runark]]. This is usually enough to kill mooks outright, unfortunately it's mostly a random occurence.

* Luigi can perform this on ghosts in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'' while they are being sucked by the Poltergust G-00, taking the place of the Power Surge mechanic from ''Dark Moon''. This can do immense damage to both the ghosts and the surroundings [[GrievousHarmWithABody (which can include other ghosts hit by the ghost Luigi is mashing with).]]
* Scarecrow's Super Move in ''[[VideoGame/Injustice2 Injustice 2]]'' begins with him opening a tear in reality with his hook, through which a giant Arkham Asylum-style Scarecrow grabs his opponent with his own hook, slams him into the ground twice, and then dunks him into an open grave with the opponent's name on the headstone.

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': In "Why a Gorilla?", [=McNinja=] arrives at a gorilla city and immediately has to fight one of the gorillas because they're not keen on humans. He wakes up to being subjected to this trope and finally defeats the gorilla with a PressurePoint attack. All the gorillas are awed, [[MadeOfIron mainly because he'd been beaten up for an hour while unconscious]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Buttercup does this to Fuzzy Lumpkins in the episode "Makes Zen to Me".
* ''WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons'': Droopy can do this (it's arguably his signature style), but only if you [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass make him angry]].
