For example, an airbending test early in the series tasks her with weaving between a series of quickly-spinning wooden planks, counter to the physical bending she's more adept at. The first couple scenes featuring the test boil down to Korra getting comically slapped around by the planks.
** In Book 2, the royal children [[HalfIdenticalTwins Desna and Eska]] are not usually played for laughs (except rather darkly, by ''[[ComedicSociopathy dishing out]]'' abuse to others), but in the one

** The show usually features the cartoon's antagonist falling victim to cartoon abuse from either their opponent or their own stupidity. Possibly the purest example: the "plot" of every Road Runner cartoon is, essentially, "Wile E. Coyote tries to catch the Road Runner and hurts himself in hilarious ways." This happens to other characters also, but it's the ''only'' thing that ever happens to Wile E. (except for a couple of cartoons that replace "the Road Runner" with "Bugs Bunny").
** In the episode “Pigture Perfect”, Petunia Pig is trying to take a picture of a squirrel to fill the rest of her mantle and is repeatedly put through hell during her attempts to do so; she suffers injuries like her ass catching fire, being electrocuted by a pole and then landing on

** The episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen" features Twilight's repeated attempts to observe and document Pinkie Pie's alleged powers of clairvoyance resulted in a constant string of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-esque shenanigans, up to and including having a [[FlowerPotDrop flower pot]], an [[AnvilOnHead anvil]], a hay wagon, ''[[OverlyLongGag and]]'' a {{piano|Drop}} fall on her in one scene.

** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick will often get caught up in cartoonish violence, particularly in her joint review of ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' with WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and in ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}''. This is most likely due to the site's views on gender equality and feminism.
** In the [[WebVideo/TGWTGYearOneBrawl Anniversary Brawl]], the Chick, WebVideo/MarzGurl, and That Chick With the Goggles all were beaten up plenty. Most notable was when the Critic asks Goggles if she was on his team or not and, when she said she wasn't, he promptly punched her in the face.
* On ''Blog/DasSporking'', female sporkers are just as likely as male ones to take AmusingInjuries. Mervin, Hyde, and Ket are the most prominent -- Mervin and Hyde smack each other up, and Mervin and Ket tend to get into brawls with occasional co-sporker [[Film/OnceUponATimeInMexico Agent Sands]].

* The fanfiction of the movie ''Film/{{Casper}}'' called "[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13882976/1/Afterlove-A-Casper-Retelling Afterlove (A Casper Retelling)"]]: Unlike in the movie, the female Ghostly Trio literally laugh off all slapstick involving them and it never seems to slow them up very much. This is directly contrasted with Dean, the only male main character, who goes through even more amusing slapstick situations than his canon female counterpart, including a scene where he is the primary victim of the female Ghostly Trio, rather than his mother, as was the case with the father character in the original movie.
* ''Fanfic/AngerManagement'': While Lynn's injuries aren't played for slapstick, Ronnie Anne once fell down on her butt while skateboarding.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fics of Creator/AAPessimal, the young Assassin Jocasta Wiggs follows her memorable canonical appearance by ending up -- in every tale where she features -- being liberally smothered in crap. It's now the Wiggs trademark.
* There is a ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' fanfic called "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12422675/1/Lillie-and-Nebby Lillie and Nebby"]] that basically revolves entirely around Lillie suffering on the same level as [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Tom the cat]] and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Wile E. Coyote]] in her desperate attempts to keep Nebby in her bag while Nebby is none the wiser to her misfortune. Notable incidents include getting attacked by various Pokemon, from Wingull to Beedrill to Ursaring, getting squeezed and hugged by a well-meaning Bewear, getting coated in wet cement, getting reduced to a pile of ashes with eyes, getting frozen solid and mistaken for a caveperson, getting crushed into a cube shape in a garbage truck, falling off of a cliff and bouncing down every ledge, getting hit on the head with a coconut hard enough for the entire thing to get stuck over her head, getting squashed flat on numerous occasions, and getting buried in various different substances (sand, snow, garbage).
* ''Fanfic/LincolnsMemories'': In "Do You Lana Build a Snowman?", Lana falls over while trying to carry the snowman's midsection.
* In ''Fanfic/ReactWatchBelieveYikes'', [[PerkyGoth Ruby]], [[LovableAlphaBitch Weiss]], [[CuteBookworm Blake]] and [[CoolBigSis Yang]] go through a lot of abuse for the sake of comedy. It's rather justified, given that they're stuck in school with nothing to do but watch ten seasons of WebAnimation/RedVsBlue.
* In ''Fanfic/ThisBites'', Cross is not afraid of giving Vivi a conk on the head if she ticks him off too much, especially when she gets over-excessive with the {{Groin Attack}}s.
* In ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', Mary Jane has occasionally been drenched by {{Roadside Wave}}s and CoveredInGunge as part of her ButtMonkey status.

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'': Maudie, and later Bear!Elinor face slapstick humor.
* ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'': Atta gets knocked to the ground twice by catapulted stalks of grain (thanks to Flik) and even falls off the counsel stand in the HilariousOuttakes.
* ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'': Half the slapstick comes from Danny (and occasionally Pudge). The rest? Surprisingly enough, it comes from Sawyer, who despite being graceful, wise, and snarky is amusingly very accident-prone (though it should be noted that most of her accidents are in some way Danny's fault, but then again, since he's a NaiveNewcomer and very energetic, who can blame him?). Also, all that happens to the films' villainess, Darla Dimple, at the end of the movie.
* ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'':
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'': Mittens the Cat is subjected to ''lots'' of AmusingInjuries throughout her journey.
** The circus elephants from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'' are similarly subject to AmusingInjuries after Dumbo accidentally causes the circus tent to collapse.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': Yzma, though being unattractive and evil are already two strikes against her. "Pull the lever, Kronk." *Ka-chunk!* "WRONG LEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!" Yzma is possibly Disney's best example of this trope, as much like the rest of the cast the character goes through ''constant'' screwball situations -- especially when she's in the jungle. Case in point, [[https://youtu.be/1MNllfr6wVY there's a scene where she gets covered in grime, then attacked by bees]] (for no discernible reason) within a few seconds, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent running around in the background while her sidekick in the foreground pays no attention]], and then she takes a pratfall into the mud ''again.''
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'': Anna is subjected to about the same amount of slapstick that Kristoff is subjected to, though significantly less than what Olaf is subjected to. Anna's more slapstick-y moments were briefly an indirect source of controversy, not because nobody wanted to see a female character do physical comedy, but because her animator made a public statement that he found it difficult to animate women, who, as he said, have to go through a wide range of emotions while still looking pretty. A lot of women and artists of both genders were quite pissed.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'': Shenzi usually suffers the same comeuppances as the other hyenas.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'': Vanessa's wedding is played very comically for slapstick. Birds fly under her dress, pelicans dump water, dead fish and lobsters all over her, starfish cover her body from face to waist, seals bounce her like a ball, she gets thrown on top of her own wedding cake and covered in the frosting head to toe before being sprayed by water yet again. This is particularly notable for the inversion of the hyper-feminine beautiful woman as the target.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'': Moana is repeatedly thrown off the boat by Maui, with little to no effort to boot, ending up soaking wet every time the ocean puts her back. Moana repeatedly smacks herself in the face with a wet mop of hair when she dramatically spins without registering that her hair is wet.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'': Mulan, though most of it happens while she's disguised as a man. Just watch "I'll Make a Man Out of You" and you'll see. This is mostly played straight in the beginning when Mulan was a clumsy ButtMonkey but toned down after she TookALevelInBadass.
** ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'': Tiana doesn't run into any slapstick at all... when she's human. Almost as soon as [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman she turns into a frog]], she along with Naveen gets tossed around for laughs, fall over, all kinds of the sort of goofy situations one could stick into a swamp setting. Her [[DumbBlonde slightly ditzy]] best friend Charlotte, on the other hand, takes some pratfalls and makes some incredibly cartoony faces while remaining human the entire time.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'': Averted with Bianca, but Medusa actually takes the brunt of the comedic retaliation of the Rescuers and the Bayou animals, especially compared to her male partner, Snoops.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'': As a CuteClumsyGirl, Rapunzel sometimes suffers AmusingInjuries. Downplayed, as the male hero [[ButtMonkey Flynn]] gets it much worse in the entire movie.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'': Jane. The movie makes quite a bit of comedic use out of her inexperience in the jungle, though this eventually dies down as she gets more used to things -- still, chances are if there's a scene where she's in that huge, fancy-looking dress, it's going to be ruined in some kind of slapstick scene.
* ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'': The protagonist Makoto gets hurt a lot crashing into things due to her clumsy landings doing time leaps. Usually it is PlayedForLaughs, except on one particular occasion when she is badly battered near the climax of the movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'': Ruffnut gets used for slapstick in near-perfect synchronization with her twin brother. The only reason Astrid doesn't is because she's too skilled a badass.
* ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'':
** While Elastigirl is first trying out her Elasticycle, it revs out of control and slams her into the wall.
** When Violet is taken to see her love interest Tony as a surprise, Violet is ''so'' surprised that she squirts water out of her nose.
* ''WesternAnimation/RugratsGoWild'': Siri is only on screen for a little more than five minutes, but is subjected to quite a range of AmusingInjuries; she's whacked in the face with a bamboo cane, falls off a cliff into a thornbush, is [[BirdPoopGag defecated on by an entire flock of parrots]], falls face-first into a puddle of mud, is hit by a rolling log, and, finally, is accidentally launched off a log and into a river while trying to pounce on Spike. ''And that's just during her musical number!''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets'': Chloe the gray tabby. She even ends up in a Website/YouTube video where her TraumaCongaLine is shown to the amusement of millions of people in Times Square.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'': Poppy is subjected to slapstick, especially through the "Get Back Up Again" montage. She suffers as many humiliations as anyone in the film.

* Kelly from ''Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'' is most definitely the series' human [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]]. She's not stupid or clumsy, just ''incredibly'' unlucky. Usually the funny stuff happens to her property rather than her, but she's still been the victim of the occasional damage. She is almost always caught up in the conflicts of the (mostly male) Transformers. Not even running to the middle of the world's most remote desert moves her out of the way of the conflict!!
* Slapstick happens with frequency in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', usually featuring Ryuunosuke, Benten, Ran, and the Spice Girls. Lum maybe less so, but her main protagonist status doesn't make her immune. Of course, Ataru still attracts as many mishaps as all of them together, but it's natural for such a severe case of BornUnlucky.
* In ''Manga/ViolinistOfHameln'', Flute receives a copious amount of slapstick violence, ranging from being beaten up a lot by monsters or abused by the male lead. Luckily for her, she is both a {{Pollyanna}} and MadeOfIron.

* Due to the main cast of ''Anime/ZombielandSaga'' being, well, zombies, the lead heroines tend to be on the butt ends of many physical gags. Yugiri, however, zigzags this; while she gets caught up in group slapstick with the others, unlike them she never becomes a specific target of slapstick. If anything, she's the one dishing it out on a couple of occasions.

Of course, this is all girl-on-girl (or animal-on-girl) slapstick. Yukari-sensei is also placed on the receiving end of some physical comedy courtesy of Tomo. As punishment, Yukari spends the next several minutes slapping Tomo around with a lunch tray in each hand.
* While Kero and Sayoran are the true {{Butt Monkey}}s of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', Sakura herself is frequently victim to cutesy slapstick.
* ''Manga/AkazukinChacha'': Every main cast member, male or female, is a frequent target for comedic violence and pratfalls. Chacha herself gets the most because she's the protagonist; [[TwoGuysAndAGirl Riiya and Shiine]] suffer alongside her because they're her closest friends/costars.
* Hotori from ''Manga/AndYetTheTownMoves'' falls victim to a large number of unfortunate mishaps. A little sneeze sends her face-first into a cup of coffee, and she trips while trying to clean it up, getting a bucket stuck on her head.

to:
* ''Manga/DoctorSlump'': The various heroines and villainesses get knocked around quite frequently (though not as much as the male characters). Even Senbei's love interest, Midori, gets boulders dropped on her and temporarily loses a few teeth.
* Downplayed with Shizuka of ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}''. She has had this happen to her in some episodes. For example, she has been crushed by giant letters (through one of Doraemon's gadgets which is able to solidify screaming onomatopoeia), had a cannon exploding in her face and Nobita pushed her accidentally into a hole once. However, most of the time, we only see the three main boys taking a lot of slapstick pain and amusing injuries, while token pretty girl Shikuza is largely ImmuneToSlapstick, because BeautyIsNeverTarnished.
* The 1973 manga ''Manga/DororonEnmaKun'' placed the literal ice princess, Yukiko Hime, on the receiving end of a large amount of comical abuse from friends and foes alike. When a monster puts her into a deep sleep, Enma wastes no time attempting to wake her through outrageous beatings and whippings.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
** Bulma's a victim of a lot of slapstick towards her, being a ButtMonkey and all.
** Chi-Chi, especially around Goku. Since she is not as strong as Goku yet [[MadeOfIron strong enough to take physical harm]]; she has been slapped by Goku through the side of their house, through several boulders and a tree, and when he has healed from his heart disease and she went out to greet him, he accidentally threw her high into the air.
* In ''Manga/DragonHalf'', King Siva drops a huge weight ''on his own daughter Vina's head''. The scene is funny, but it also shows that the two of them are utterly [[EvilIsHammy horrible people]]. [[spoiler:Vina's [[HalfHumanHybrid half-slime]], so she survives because she's NighInvulnerable. She then attempts to smother her father once she escapes.]]
* While virtually every member of the party gets put into amusing situations, in ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' it's generally going to be Marcille who will be the current issue's ButtMonkey.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
** The anime/manga doles out some humorous abuse to protagonist Lucy Heartfilia, including a pillow to the face that sends her through a door and into a rock outside, and various evil women like Angel, whose post-battle struggle for survival is a bit of a joke.
** In [[EstablishingSeriesMoment the second episode]], resident NiceGirl Mirajane is sent sprawling by her brother, [[GrievousHarmWithABody who'd been sent flying from the]] BigBallOfViolence, and she cheerfully continues talking to Lucy about how much fun the brawls are before passing out.
** Wendy herself was ImmuneToSlapstick during the first several chapters after her appearance since at the time she was the youngest and most innocent. After the TimeSkip and after [[TookALevelInBadass she grows more badass]], she found herself on the receiving end of this trope more frequently.
* ''Manga/FoodWars'' has the legendary but ditzy graduate chef Hinako usually on the receiving end of Kojirou's slaps and wrath to dispose of her in funny ways whenever she annoys him, a rare instance where the PlayedForLaughs DopeSlap features a female ButtMonkey on the receiving end of a male {{Tsundere}}.
* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', [[CoolOldLady Taiitsukun]] is the Goddess ([[PhysicalGod in a sense]]) of slapstick. On one hand, she's among those who send the Nyan-Nyans (who have the looks of little girls) [[ATwinkleInTheSky flying]] [[ButtMonkey when they screw up]], and has hit [[TheDitz Miaka]] (a 15-year-old girl) [[DopeSlap upside the head]] at least once. On the other, it's not like she's less harsh to guys: she's also seen beating up the 17-year-old boy Tamahome once or twice.
* In ''Anime/GenjiTsuushinAgedama'', a 1991 parody anime, villainess Kuki Rei frequently catches fire, falls down pits, and gets caught in explosions.
* ''LightNovel/GonnaBeTheTwinTail'' features protagonist Souji with Aika, a violent {{Tsundere}} for a childhood friend. Unlike most examples, said violence is not directed at her love interest, but HumanAlien Twoearle, either for her [[LovableSexManiac unabashed attempts to get in Souji's pants]] or bringing up [[ACupAngst Aika's chest size]].
* Guu from ''Anime/HareGuu'' is chopping vegetables in class and ends up cutting her RubberHoseLimbs into pieces. Unfazed she gathers the pieces up and swallows them, quickly growing a new arm much to [[OnlySaneMan Haré's]] horror. In a much later OAV, Guu [[RealityWarper somehow shows]] up in a horror movie and her smirking head gets decapitated.
* Shiina from ''LightNovel/HarukaNogizakasSecret'' has a tendency to clumsily stumble into {{Fanservice}}y PantyShot and NotWhatItLooksLike situations that are played for laughs at her expense.
* Ryuubi, the {{Meganekko}} with GagBoobs from ''Manga/IkkiTousen'', regularly finds herself in these situations. If she really is in danger, though, her dragon will come out.
* ''Manga/KemonoMichi'' features its protagonist Shibata Genzo using ''brutal'' pro wrestling moves to subdue wild demonic beasts, humans, and humanoids alike, regardless of age, gender, or position. His most common victim is Carmilla, a female vampire. Heck, the EstablishingSeriesMoment is when Genzo slams Princess Altena onto the floor with a devastating [[SuplexFinisher German Suplex]] after she attempts to SummonEverymanHero and gets him.
* Ritsu in ''Manga/KOn'' is a frequent target for Mio's aggression, though some of the other girls have suffered a few bashes on the head (also see CranialEruption). No serious injury has yet occurred from this.
* The premise of ''Manga/KillMeBaby'' lies in Yasuna being physically abused by Sonya at least OncePerEpisode.
* ''Anime/LuckyStar'':
** During the first episode, Miyuki describes some of the things that happen to her for spacing out, such as tripping on her own feet or cutting herself while slicing vegetables, things which Konata then describes as "moe points". The very next scene has her walking into a business sign while pacing back and forth.
** During episode 7, Konata lays a bar of soap down for Miyuki to slip on while they are bathing at the sentou. It works, but she [[LaserGuidedKarma misses it while teasing Kagami]].
** There are times when Nanako gives Konata a CranialEruption for sleeping in class. In the manga, this extends to other students she has after Konata and her friends graduate. Including the innocent and physically frail Yutaka.
** A late scene in episode 11 is all about the main four (and Soujiro) receiving electrical shocks from a doorknob.
* In ''Manga/{{Magikano}}'', the main male character, Haruo, does take some abuse especially in the form of a mind erasing hammer. But that pales in comparison to what the Yandears who are (unknowingly to him) fighting for his attention do to each other.
* ''Manga/MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro'' absolutely champions this trope, as Neuro himself frequently abuses his female cohort Katsuragi Yako by stretching her body into unnatural positions, electrocuting her, making her eat grass, and just generally roughing her up. One omake is actually a long list of ways to humorously torture a recently-defeated female villain.
* LovableSexManiac Kanako Miyamae from ''Manga/MariaHolic'' takes some slapstick pain, including getting trampled by a schoolgirl stampede, which after provides her with the obligatory AmusingInjuries.
* ''Manga/{{Mitsudomoe}}'' is, put simply, a series with lots of slapstick involving little girls. Mitsuba gets it the worst.
* ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'' plays around with a lot of classic Shoujo character archetypes by gender flipping them. This gives us the case of Kashima and Hori, which is the textbook example of "HandsomeLech who flirts with every girl he meets and {{Tsundere}} LoveInterest who physically punishes him" but with the genders changed around, resulting in a guy kicking, grappling with, and throwing objects at a girl.
* In ''Anime/MyLittleMonster'' Haru accidentally hits Shizuku several times for comedic effect.
* ''Manga/NagasareteAirantou'' distributes the pain pretty fairly. Though male protagonist Ikuto gets hurt more consistently, girls Ayane, Rin, and Mikoto get knocked around fairly often as well. Ayane in particular gets it so bad that one chapter featured her picking up a broom that caused accidents to happen to whoever used it. She completely failed to notice its effects because they were no different from a regular day for her.
* In ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', main female protagonist Asuna regularly takes the chance to smack about one or two other girls in their sillier or more lecherous moments, but none so much as ElegantGothicLolita Vampire Evangeline. Although given her insane skill in martial arts, she probably ''lets'' it happen. This being ''Negima'', it's promptly lampshaded:
-->'''[[RobotMaid Chachamaru:]]''' Asuna-san's the only person who's ever been able to engage with Master in physical slapstick.
* In ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'', the protagonist Yuuko ends up on the receiving end of most of the slapstick-related gags in the series. The other main victim is Sakamoto the cat.
* Nodame from ''Manga/NodameCantabile'' is part of a BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine with other main character Chiaki, and the usual {{Tsundere}} slapstick violence is gender-inverted.
* ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' has Nyarko and Cuuko (and more rarely [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Hasta]]) subject to [[{{Tsundere}} Mahiro]]'s punches and {{fork|Fencing}}s whenever they get too annoying. It helps that they're Lovecraftian gods and can take the punishment, but more than a few fans have expressed displeasure with Mahiro, feeling that he comes off as a short-tempered {{Jerkass}}. Worth noting, the "slapstick" label only really applies to the two TV series; in the original light novels (and the ''Nyaruani'' comedy shorts) Mahiro's forks produce fountains of HighPressureBlood.
* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'':
** In the first part of Episode 3, the wolf ghost [[BeTheBall compresses the main characters into a ball shape]] and throws them through a basketball hoop, and then the two are briefly seen SquashedFlat afterwards.
** Panty is hit by a barrage of different humiliating slapstick stunts at the beginning of Episode 13, all in a row, including struck by lightning (complete with XRaySparks) and left with AshFace.

* In ''Manga/TheRedRangerBecomesAnAdventurerInAnotherWorld'', [[HotWitch Idola]] is actually the one being subject to slapstick and humiliation the most in the early chapters.

* ''Anime/RuneSoldierLouie'':
** In Episode 7, Merrill tries to stop the clay golem from [[spoiler:taking her precious jar]] with a flying kick and gets sucked into its body. It stops long enough to literally [[spoiler:squat and shit her out]] (seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RYyc5TAa9Q at 14:27-14:42)!]]

** In one episode, Merrill steals and eats a bunch of laxative-laced cookies that some of Louie's detractors had given him.
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'' frequently features slapstick gags with the main female cast as the victims. Usagi was the most common victim, due to her extreme clumsiness getting her hurt and general ThisLoserIsYou nature as a character, but plenty of gags featured the rest of the cast as well. Ironically, Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask, the only male human in the regular cast, was the ''least'' likely to be on the receiving end of the show's physical comedy until the notably more serious and poised Outer Senshi were introduced, suggesting it had more to do with finesse and grace than anything.
* ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'':
** The series has a scene where Meru (a ShrinkingViolet who can only communicate through abusive text messages) ends up getting forced into a seat with no cell reception and starts spewing BlackSpeech. Kafuka's way to treat this problem is to bash her in the head with a crucifix.
** There's also a PlayedForLaughs scene where [[SuperOCD Chiri]] ambushes {{A|pologizesALot}}i and is implied to brutally murder her, acting on jealousy over Itoshiki-sensei.
* Sanae from ''Manga/SquidGirl'' gets beaten up a lot by the eponymous protagonist, and she [[TooKinkyToTorture enjoys it]].
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' often subjects its female characters to slapstick, every semi-important woman that appears in the show, suffers it sooner or later (even [[TheMedic Sylphiel]] was blasted by Lina on one occasion). [[CuteClumsyGirl Amelia]] is a notable one.
* ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes'', absurd as it is, heaps slapstick on everybody, with the heroines getting it the hardest, though G4 (particularly Kokoro) get theirs too.
* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'':
** Kiyone from ''Anime/TenchiUniverse'' endures constant humiliation due to being partnered with Mihoshi, who is the personification of a ditz.
