[[caption-width-right:348:Being a sexy dame with a questionable moral compass... [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons that's a paddlin'.]]]]

->''"I was being a smart-ass, so they made my ass smart!"''\\
--'''Koma''', ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG]] Saga: EndlessFrontier''

Someone, usually a female, just said or did something stupid, kinky or childish, and someone else, usually male, has to correct and punish them. However, instead of doing it with words or with a DopeSlap he suddenly gives her a good, old-fashioned spanking, a controversial parenting technique and a comedy goldmine. HilarityEnsues. Most of the time FetishFuel also ensues. Often used for {{Fanservice}}. (Both are definitely the case if the Cutie ''wants'' to be spanked.)

Bonus points earned by different ways, such as:
* The [[JustForPun bottom]] has outgrown such measures;
* The [[DoubleEntendre bottom]] is also TooKinkyToTorture;
* The act is warned by a "If you act like a child, I'll treat you like one" speech;
* The act also becomes or followed by a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}};
* It's a {{Fetish}} for the giver, for the receiver, or for both.
* PunctuatedPounding is involved.

And so on.

If an implement is used, it is often something rather humorous such as a hairbrush, rolled-up newspaper or ping pong paddle.

A Subtrope of CorporalPunishment and (sometimes) CoolAndUnusualPunishment.

See DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff for when this happens to [[EnfantTerrible Enfants Terribles]] and {{Bratty Half Pint}}s.

Despite the name, not at all related to {{Break|TheCutie}}ing or [[CorruptTheCutie Corrupting the Cutie]], or to [[ADateWithRosiePalms spanking anything else]], though that may happen as a result.

Important thing to remember: This trope is a reference to a hot girl or guy getting spanked in a sexy context. A child getting an unsexy spanking strictly for punishment is NOT this trope.

!!Examples

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/IkkiTousen'' has a couple of this, starring local mother and TooDumbToLive ActionGirl. Actually, a number of people watched the series [[{{Fanservice}} because of this]].
* ''Anime/DaiMahouTouge'': Somewhat justified because Punie's sisters are actually kids.
* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka''. Starring the title BadassTeacher and {{Alpha Bitch}}es.
* ''LightNovel/{{Kanokon}}'' won some BonusPoints. Chizuru actually tried to make a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} out of it, also it seems to be her fetish.
* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire''
** The show has this as an ending. It was ''the BigBad'' who suffers from this, no less... The best PayEvilUntoEvil in the known universe.
** Happened a bit earlier in the same season, though less for the FetishFuel and more for comic relief.
* In the third ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' OVA, Mashisu spanks Misao for calling her a lowly servant.
* Happens twice in ''Manga/SailorMoon'' with Usagi spanking Chibi-Usa, but that's not the funny part. No, the funny part is when Chibi-Usa, later in the episode, has a daydream where the situations are reversed and ''she'' is spanking ''Usagi''. And the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq_7talMDr0 first time]] it happened, it actually was plot-important: Chibi-Usa started crying when Usagi spanked her, then lost control of her powers and released a powerful ray of light [[spoiler:coming from the Ginzishou stuck inside of her]], which tipped the bad guys on her whereabouts. Usagi also spanks her in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P_nG2SvXVE the third movie]] to wake her out of a hypnotized trance.
* In the ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' manga at one point, Casca, upon reuniting with Griffith after having slowed down the whole band for having gone into the fight while on her period, says that she understands that she has made a huge mistake as a commander and that she would accept ANY form of punishment for this. For Guts, that was too tempting. Hence, he playfully spanks her in front of everyone present.
** Later, when a minor female character has joined up with some particularly deranged cultists she is spanked back to her senses by her HookerWithAHeartOfGold CoolBigSis figure. Different from the first scene because in-story it is treated totally seriously.
* In ''Anime/DennouCoil'' Fumie gives her brother Akira an offscreen spanking for collecting pictures of his different harassments, including other spankings done by her. Hell, she once spanks him on screen, complete with pulling down his pants first.
* In ''Manga/BlackJack'', Pinoko gets this treatment at least once. She REALLY deserved it, and is pretty much a kid in mind and body. She seems to take it happily as evidence that the doctor loves her.
* In ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'', episode 7 "The Lion has New Claws", Princess Alura is punished for taking the Blue Lion out for a spin with a hard spanking by her nanny. [[EverybodyLaughsEnding Joy is had by the rest of the crew.]]
* Five whole ''chapters'' in ''Manga/NanaToKaoru'' are devoted to Nana getting a spanking. So much for Kaoru's promises to never ever hurt her. Well, after two chapters about nipple clips... raise your hand if you didn't see it coming. [[spoiler:Apply the lotion first.]] Although the spanking was consensual on her part.
* In ''Manga/DragonBall Z'', Goten gets a spanking from [=ChiChi=] for rushing into battle against Majin Buu. Though considering he was in Gotenks form, it was also Trunks' fault.
* The title character of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' suffers this at the end of episode 90.
* Subverted in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. When Rei-I calls Naoko a hag, she threatens her with this trope. But when Rei does it several times more and reveals that YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness in the eyes of [[ManipulativeBastard Gendo]], [[WomanScorned Naoko flips out]] and kills the girl before she has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment and jumps off the command deck to her death. The kicker? Gendo told [[ExpendableClone Rei]] to badmouth Naoko [[MagnificentBastard exactly because he anticipated her reaction and needed a convenient excuse to get rid of the woman]].
* In episode of 7 ''[[Anime/JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Haré+Guu]]'', [[ButtMonkey Poor]] young Haré gets an absolutely '''brutal''' spanking from the village women after just recovering from a FreakyFridayFlip with the local HandsomeLech. Afterwards you can see his bruises while he lies out in the rain.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** In the manga, when [[GenderBender Female!Ranma]] disguises as Ryôga's (non-existent) little sister Yoiko, she once falls out of character and makes a rude comment to her "brother" before Akane. Ryôga doesn't approve of such language for a young lady, and thus give his "sister" a spanking. Note that Ryôga is super-strong, and as tough Ranma is, the ass-warming clearly hurts.
** In another chapter, Ranma and Ryôga are age-regressed due to magical mushrooms. Ranma, the older at the moment, pushes Ryôga, and gets a spanking from Akane.
* In ''Manga/FairyTail'', Lucy says that Aquarius spanks her when Aquarius gets really mad at her.
** She also gets spanked once by a BrainwashedAndCrazy Juvia. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Lucy screams "that's sadism", and Juvia calls her "maso bitch".]]
* In episode 1 of Season 2's ''LightNovel/BokuWaTomodachiGaSukunai'', Sena's father does this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pzC2AersUg to her]] after she comes home with a ridiculous hairstyle that Yozora and Rika did to her.
* In ''Manga/{{Kotoura-san}}'', Manabe fantasized about that in episode 4, [[spoiler:if he found Haruka who ran away from him at the end of episode 3.]]
* In one episode of the first series of ''Manga/LupinIII'' after Fujiko has held Lupin at gun point for attempting to steal a gold totem from her, Jigen kicks the gun away from her and they tie her up, Lupin hoists Fujiko over his shoulder and casually spanks her to humiliate her.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}''
** Poor Emp. Count: DreamSequence (twice, brought to you by Caged Demonwolf); from villains (implied); from [=ThugBoy=] (appears to be her fetish); from Ocelotina (for underestimating duct tape, no less). Well, what did you expect from a comic running on FetishFuel (specifically BoundAndGagged)?
** Ocelotina is implied to get some offscreen, being Emp's spiritual successor in terms of a BoundAndGagged DamselInDistress, through [[MoneyDearBoy making BSDM movies]] instead of fighting supervillains.
* ''ComicBook/TheSpirit'': The famed story [[http://www.bookpalace.com/acatalog/EisnerProm.jpg "The Prom"]].
* The [[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] ''WonderWoman'' comics have several incidences, particularly once the Amazons discovered Man's World has tennis rackets....
* Franchise/{{Batman}}, infamously.
** [[http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2007/03/top_15_unintent.html Quiet, or papa spank! (#3)]] As well as Superman (#2).
** Golden Age Batman issue #10 features Bruce pulling Dick out of bed in the dark of night, laying the boy over his lap, and spanking him while the pajama-clad boy writhed and cried out "Owoo!" This is how every crime-fighter celebrates his crime-fighting partner's birthday, right?
* [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Superman_spanks_a_woman_1_5999.jpg This]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Superman_spanks_a_woman_2_9649.jpg series]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Superman_spanks_a_woman_3_4687.jpg of pictures]] from a very old ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' comic in which he spanks a woman and she likes it.
* ''ArchieComics'' has a particularly bizarre example. Veronica wants to take her father to a father-daughter dance, but he's unavailable. HilarityEnsues when she gets Archie to fill in for him (in a surprisingly good disguise), and he overacts the part, annoying Veronica all evening. Towards the end [[spoiler: Mr. Lodge shows up at the dance, replacing Archie without Veronica's knowledge. She acts disrespectful towards him, thinking he's still Archie. So he spanks her. In reprint, this was changed to putting her in a corner for time out.]]
** Slightly subverted in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics during the very start of the Mobius: 25 Years Later storyline, where Knuckles threatens his daughter Lara-su, telling her that he's perfectly willing to revive ancient Echidna traditions, such as spanking bratty daughters. Julie-Su seems less than pleased by his threat.
* In ''CityOfDreams'' during one of her masochistic dreams the protagonist doesn't agree to give her owner a blowjob, so he spanks her until she does.
* DonRosa has let DonaldDuck be the receiver of spanking at least twice. Once in the story ''A Letter From Home'', wherein he gets spanked by his aunt Matilda. (Keep in mind that Donald is already an adult in this story!) The other occasion is in the story ''Escape From Forbidden Valley'' wherein [[ItMakesSenseInContext he gets spanked by a dinosaur]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* ''ComicStrip/LittleNemo in Slumberland'' has a naughty schoolboy subjected to an automatic spanking machine.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* This is extremely popular in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' {{Lemon}}s. Just about everyone female, from Faith to Dawn to Buffy to Willow, seems to be into spanking in fanfic. At least Willow and Anya were both confirmed to be into it by offhand remarks in "The I in Team".
* Because he's such a brat, there seems to be a trend in Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses fic where WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic gets spanked. Chick, The Other Guy, Ask That Guy, Nerd... nearly everyone's had a go with him.
* In ''[[FanFic/NewLookSeries Link's New Look]]'' Young Link has been spanked several times by Princess Zelda prior to the beginning of his story. According to him, his butt is still healing from the last spanking she gave him as punishment for sneaking around in Dr. Mario's room.
** There's also these two charming stories, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8497488/1/Sore-Bottom-for-a-Sore-Loser Sore Bottom for a Sore Loser]] and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8497488/2/Sore-Bottom-for-a-Sore-Loser Sore Bottom for a Sore Loser II]], where Link also gets his butt beaten.
** And then there's this little concept here, which must be paradise if you're a fan of both The Legend of Zelda and FemDom. [[http://ladiesspankinglink.tumblr.com/ Ladies Spanking Link]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Verfolgt (Punish me)'': The hunky rebel, Jan, bends over for a spanking from the strict mistress, Elsa.
* ''Le Masque De Fer''. Don't lie to Jean Marais.
* A lot of {{Western}}s have this.
** One Western where this happened was ''TrueGrit''. The female protagonist insisted on coming along on a bounty hunt for the murderer of her father, and one of the bounty hunters spanked her to make her give up.
** The other famous one is ''Film/McLintock'' -- pretty much the entire final third of the movie leads up to it. In this one Creator/JohnWayne uses a ''shovel'' on Creator/MaureenOHara.
** Also in ''Donovans Reef'', John Wayne ends up spanking Elizabeth Allen (she starts kicking her feet) at the end of the movie, right before kissing her (her feet stop kicking).
* ''Film/KillBill'': "''[[PunctuatedPounding This]]'' -- [[PunctuatedPounding is]] ''[[PunctuatedPounding what]]'' -- [[PunctuatedPounding you]] ''[[PunctuatedPounding get]]'' -- [[PunctuatedPounding for]] ''[[PunctuatedPounding fucking]]'' -- ''[[PunctuatedPounding around]]'' -- [[PunctuatedPounding with]] ''[[PunctuatedPounding yakuzas!]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments GO HOME TO YOUR MOTHER!]]''" (Also a rare female-on-male example.)
* ''Normal Adolescent Behavior''. Wendy earned some bonus points for having a fetish and begging Sean to do this. The scene was a blatant FetishFuel and BigLippedAlligatorMoment (the movie has a lot of them, though).
* SoBadItsGood ''Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama'' is remarkable only for such scene.
* Music/ElvisPresley's character does this to a girl who tries to commit suicide in the movie ''Blue Hawaii''. The next morning she was at the table... sitting on a pillow.
* ''{{Secretary}}'' had Lee Holloway's boss, Mr. Grey, originally spanking Lee for typos.
* ''Film/TheKillerInsideMe'', starring Creator/JessicaAlba. Bonus points for appearing ''in trailer''.
* ''ProjectMoonbase'' (a 1953 film that Creator/RobertAHeinlein co-wrote) had the bratty female astronaut (a colonel no less!) being threatened with this by her superior officer. It doesn't help that she's wearing tight shorts over a great ass.
* A teacher does this to one of his pupils in a memorable scene in ''Debbie Does Dallas'', though the roles are inverted in the [[ScreenToStageAdaptation modern theatre production]] of this most famous porn movie.
* ''Film/FiveGirls'', a film about Catholic schoolgirls fighting a demon. One girl being seen investigating the staff's secret pact with a demon is sentenced to a spanking with a yardstick for her trouble. The high point of the scene is right afterwards when one of the girls reveals herself to be a faith healer and [[FetishFuel lays on hands]].
* Averted in ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. Dingo and all the other maidens of Castle Anthrax beg Galahad to spank them, but nope, it's too perilous.
* ''The Golden Rendevous'' (1977). The hero, played by Richard Harris, threatens to do this to Ann Turkel, playing the high society heroine. She replies that she might enjoy it.
* ''National Lampoon's AnimalHouse''. "Thank you, sir, may I have another?" The humor here derives from a male being spanked by another male. The illustrated novelization of the film strongly implies that Neidermeyer, who was doing the spanking honors for the initiation, was turned on by the proceedings.
* The 1956 film version of ''TheBadSeed'' ends with a "curtain call" sequence in which Rhoda's mother takes her over her knee.
* ''[[Film/TheToxicAvenger The Toxic Avenger Part 2]]'': One of the [[{{Mooks}} hench-women]] that tried to {{rape|IsASpecialKindOfEvil}} and brutalize Toxie's girlfriend. Toxie gave that fiendish female a paddling she won't soon forget!
* In the Soviet comedy gold ''Operation"Y"'' one segment deals with Fedya, a huge 40-something bully sentenced to community service at the same construction site where the hero, Shurik, works part-time. After a slapstick-filled wild goose chase around the site Shurik finally traps Fedya in a wallpaper roll. He then sets the roll with Fedya inside upright, soaks the birch, makes an appropriately shaped cutout, while increasingly distressed Fedya asks whether that's really necessary. Shurik's answer "Really, Fedya, really", as he swings the rod and Fedya mutters "Mama!" into the fadeout, has since became a go-to answer for justifying something unpleasant, but ''really'' necessary.
* ''Film/ShootEmUp''. Mr Smith does this to a mother who slaps her own child, much to the kid's delight. According to the DVD commentary the actress concerned was quite looking forward to being spanked by Clive Owen.
* ''Literature/ExitToEden'' has a RareFemaleExample. Dana Delany ties up Paul Mercurio, feels up up his naked body, pinches and squeezes his butt and then spanks him. After the spanking, she gives him a hand job.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* Gets mentioned in two sentences in Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Discworld/EqualRites''. In the story, Esk's magical powers awaken on the day when her father slaps her. He regrets it immediately, but it is mentioned that her seven brothers often feel the back of his belt when they deserve it.
* Creator/RobertAHeinlein has this several times in his works (it was AuthorAppeal for him, as noted on that page), including ''Literature/BeyondThisHorizon'', ''Literature/GloryRoad'', and ''Literature/IWillFearNoEvil''. ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'' has a whole chapter explaining the reasons you should spank your kids. In this case, it wasn't just a case of AuthorAppeal. The purpose of Heinlein's argument was to prove that corporal punishment for misdemeanors in childhood helps to deter people from committing more serious crimes in adulthood.
* A running joke throughout JohnCWright's ''Literature/ChroniclesOfChaos'' series. It also serves as the climax of the first book.
* Robert Jordan's ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'':
** Among [[AuthorAppeal other oddities]], the series seems to have an unwritten rule: every all-female organization is filled with whippings, paddlings, canings and birchings. The books tend towards more bondage-oriented punishments, though. The Aiel stick with humiliating useless labor for their own, as the entire race is trained to be able to ignore pain. They have no qualms about whipping other people who deserve it, though.
** For a male-female example, at one point Perrin has enough of Faile's baseline-abusive crap, and proceeds to take her over his knee and lay down the law, to the delight of her Aiel companions ([[TheScrappy and the fans]]), who thought the whole thing was hilarious.
** Also, during Mat's journey away from Ebou Dar, he finally gets fed up with the three Aes Sedai behaving like spoiled brats and spanks Joline. Her Warders are not amused.
* ''[[TheVampireChronicles The Vampire Armand]]'' has a scene where Armand first has his legs whipped by Marius as a punishment, then is [[IntimateHealing healed]] with some vampire saliva. Armand makes the mistake of commenting on the irony and ''smack''.
* In Creator/JamesHSchmitz's ''Legacy'', the threat of spanking is unsucessfully used (by her allies, no less) to keep ActionGirl Literature/TriggerArgee from making escape attempts. Trigger later uses the same trick on a captured VillainWithGoodPublicity, and records the conversation. Yowls and all.
* Dirk Struan does this to his AsianBabymama Mei-Mei in James Clavell's ''TaiPan''. She warns him afterward that if he ever does it to her when she hasn't done anything to deserve it, she'll kill him in his sleep.
** Later on he does it again, hoping that the pain will snap her out of a state of shock.
*** And again, due to a [[BlueAndOrangeMorality particularly serious case of their clashing cultures]], when she feels that she has disgraced herself by angering him and (since she is technically his slave,) needs to be punished for it. He deliberately chooses to whip her buttocks because it hurts and sounds bad enough to restore her face and pride, but will not actually cause any serious damage.
** In another Clavell book, ''Whirlwind'' another female character has gone into trauma-induced shock and needs to be snapped out of it through pain, and again the man chooses spanking because it will hurt without causing damage.
* In the ''{{Redwall}}'' book ''The Sable Queen'', the incompetent stoat thief Globby is caught stealing food by Skipper of Otters and spanked with an oven paddle.
* Near the end of ''Literature/TheWarlockInSpiteOfHimself'', Queen Catharine insisted she'd ride into battle with her troops. Catharine having no weapons training to speak of, no one else was happy about this. So Rod Gallowglass suggested her long-estranged [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood sweetheart]] Tuan should spank her so hard that she'd be unable to sit on pillows, much less a horse. The spanking actually took place offscreen, except for the sound effects; a couple of guards wondered if the queen needed assistance, but she was apparently too ''embarrassed'' about being spanked to let them ''rescue'' her from being spanked.
* Scout, from ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird'', winds up on the receiving end of this trope after ending up in a fight with a relative. Little attention is paid to the spanking itself, although she does describe surveying the damage afterwards...
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/ILoveLucy'', no less than thrice. Also implications.
* Series 1 of Series/{{Community}} had Brita being spanked with a stick by Troy's grandmother. Troy has to stand there and watch and they both end up in tears.
-->'''Troy:'''(In tears)"I don't understand you Brita! I don't understand you at all!"
* This showed up in ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'' with male characters. Otoya is Wataru's father and normally appears in flashback segments to 22 years ago. They met via time travel once, and Otoya ended up spanking Wataru, despite them both being in their 20's. It was utterly bizarre and seemed to have been there solely for the female audience (which modern Kamen Riders are aimed at).
* Though this hasn't happened so far in ''Series/DoctorWho'', it [[WhatCouldHaveBeen very nearly did]]. "The Prison in Space" (cancelled at the last minute and replaced by "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E4TheKrotons The Krotons]]") would have ended with [[MsFanservice Zoe]] being spanked in order to cure her of her misandrist brainwashing by the [[PersecutionFlip aggressively matriarchal society]] they'd landed in (note that Jamie didn't actually know this was the cure). Many years later, a copy of the script turned up and was adapted as an audiobook by Creator/BigFinish. Note that the episode was canceled not because of the scene in question, but because Frazer Hines was going to quit.
** River Song asks if an angry Doctor is going to spank her for teasing some Sontarans in ''First Night''/''Last Night''...
** In "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", Riddell threatens to spank Queen Nefertiti when she snarks at him. [[spoiler: Predictably, they end up together at the end.]]
* The pilot of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' reveals that Marshall and Lily engage in spank play, though he's reluctant while she eagerly eggs him on.
-->'''Lily:''' (laughs): Hit me? Please! This guy can barely spank me in bed for fun. He's all like "Oh honey did that hurt?" and I'm all like "C'mon let me have it ya pansy!" :{{Beat}}: Wow, complete stranger.
* ''Series/{{Californication}}''. Again, bonus points for being fetish for the secretary.
* ''{{Weeds}}''. CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}''. Gibbs has a tendency to DopeSlap anyone on his team that annoys him, except PerkyGoth Abby (who, though played by an actress in her forties, often dresses in schoolgirl-like skirts). He does threaten to on one occasion however, "and it won't be on the head."
* Subverted in the "Evacuation" episode of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle''. They've been evacuated to a gym due to a chemical spill and Malcolm is forced to sit on a cot by Lois because he was grounded (back at the house), and eventually he gets fed up with it and tries to stand up to his mom. She promptly grabs him, turns him over, winds up for a big hit, and then cherry taps him lightly on the back of his jeans, indicating that until she can't do that he doesn't get to determine the terms of their relationship. The entire gymnasium watches and is horrified after she is done, and then it cuts to outside the gymnasium where some soldiers are throwing her out because people think she's dangerous.
* Trying to teach Troy a lesson about respecting and "cherishing" family, Britta on ''Series/{{Community}}'' says something [[ValuesDissonance she would consider complimentary but which "Nana" considers offensive]]. Nana orders her to get a switch, which Britta does. Britta seems to think that the switch was for striking her hand (she seems to have gone to Catholic school), Nana quickly corrects her. She bends over--even though Troy tells her she doesn't have to--and pulls down her pants. She realizes very quickly she doesn't know what she's gotten herself into.
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' has a whole lot of spanking going on. J.D. spanking Turk. Turk spanking J.D. Turk spanking Elliot. Elliot spanking J.D. Various characters spanking themselves. You name it. In fact, the only main character who hasn't been a spanker or a spankee is The Janitor.
-->'''Elliot:''' Harder, dammit! I've been ''bad.''
* ''Series/ICarly'': In "iSell Penny Tees", Freddie makes a mildly sarcastic remark to Sam. Sam then runs over to him, throws him onto a nearby couch, then starts spanking him.
* Subverted in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' season 2. In a scene that was not in the books (but is by no means out of character,) [[TheCaligula Joffrey]] is given two whores in the hope that [[YouNeedToGetLaid it might mellow him a bit]]. He orders one to hit the other, and they comply with some light erotic spanking. Then he gives the spanker his belt, and tells her to hit harder. [[FromBadToWorse Then he hands her a heavy wooden stick with spikes on it and orders her to keep going...]]
** They were antlers, actually. . . Joffrey of "House Baratheon" having a Stag as his heraldry.
* On ''Series/CriminalMinds'', a couple of exchanges stand out when Morgan and Garcia were engaging in their usual playful banter.
** In the conference room in "Children of the Dark":
-->'''Morgan''': ''(answers phone)'' Hey girl, you're on speaker. Behave.\\
'''Garcia''': Or what, you'll spank me?
** On the plane back home in "True Night":
-->'''Morgan''': ''(on the phone with Garcia)'' Just leave it alone until I get there. Hey, hey, hardhead. Don't make me spank you when I get back.\\
'''Reid''': Don't listen to him Garcia, he's all talk. ''(gets {{dope slap}}ped by Morgan)'' Aah! JJ, he just hit me!\\
'''JJ''': ''(not looking up from file)'' Boys, behave or I will ground you both.
* In one episode of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmicxyaPaV4 Sheldon spanks Amy]] for PlayingSick for longer than she actually is just so he'd take care of her. Sheldon, being [[{{Asexuality}} Sheldon]], is completely oblivious to the sexual undertones of it, but somehow senses that [[FetishFuel Amy is enjoying it.]]
-->'''Amy''' (''delightedly'') Oh my!\\
'''Sheldon''': Excuse me, you're not supposed to be enjoying this.\\
'''Amy''': Then maybe you should spank me harder.
* ''Series/UpstairsDownstairs''. In the original series, James puts Georgina over his knee and spanks her for wrinkling his newspaper but it's all very playful and gentle.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Magazines]]
* This was pretty much Creator/BettiePage's specialty (as the spankee) during her career.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* "Cane Drops Keep Fallin' on My End" by the Capitol Steps.
* "Hanky Panky" by Music/{{Madonna}}
* The music video for "Hear My Name" consisted almost entirely of the two singers spanking people
* The song "Repo Man" by Ray Lamontagne contains this line
-->"It's like you think I got revolvin' doors on my house. Like you can just come and go as you please. I'm 'bout to do what your daddy should've done. I'm gonna lay you right across my knee!"

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* ProfessionalWrestling: Go to Website/YouTube and search for "wrestling spanking", you'll find a lot of examples. Mostly female.
* Not even genuine {{Action Girl}}s are immune. [[SpicyLatina Sarita and Rosita]] of {{TNA}} recently got a good spanking apiece - and at a pay-per-view, no less!
* AndreTheGiant once did this to Sensational Sherri during a skit aired in the spring of 1991. Sherri was trying to soften up the big guy and get hired to be his manager ... but he decided to show his rejection by bending her over his knee and swatting her five times on the butt! This was a comedy skit, compared to the outright brutal beatings she had taken just months earlier.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theater]]
* ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew''. And the play it inspired, ''Theatre/KissMeKate''. Kate/Lilli Vanessi being unable to sit down afterwards is a RunningGag extending well into the second act.
* Done in one of TylerPerry's ''Madea'' plays, where the titular character spanks a smart-alec teenager she's looking after, and then passes her off to her friend and encourages her to spank her. She does so, trying to copy Madea's enthusiasm, but is told "You ain't supposed to enjoy it!"
* The 1936 {{Vaudeville}} French play ''La Fessée'' by [[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_L%C3%A9traz Jean de Létraz]] is all about the consequences of an irate husband giving his wife a bare-assed spanking -- and this being accidentaly photographed through a window.

* ''RivieraThePromisedLand'', only implied, but it became a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}. The exact conversation, believe it or not, was actually a {{Bowdleri|se}}zation of a conversation about breast size.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''
** Raine gives her brother Genis a spanking for skipping class. Lloyd screws his eyes shut during this, thinking he'll be next; when Raine asks him if he's ready, he begs off... and Raine gives him a side-kick instead that sends him flying.
** And then in the sequel, she asks Emil and Marta to help her find a kid that wandered into the abandoned human ranch. Guess what happens once she finds him?
* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''
** In ''Tekken 5'', [[MsFanservice Anna Williams]] will sit on Lee Chaolan's back and spank him after defeating him in her story mode.
** Another example from the same game series is [[BadassGrandpa Heihachi]], who in ''Tekken 6'', with the right item equipped, has a special grapple in which he bends opponents over his knee and spanks them thrice.
** Heihachi also does it to Lee in a Tag Tournament animation. And Combot in one of Lee's endings in another game. It happening to Lee seems to be a RunningGag.
* ''SoulSeries''
** Another {{Namco}} example: In ''Soul Calibur'', one of [[TokenMiniMoe Talim's]] throws involves her sitting on the opponent's back and spanking them.
** In the Game Cube version of ''Soul Calibur II'', GuestFighter [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] has a throw that involves him jumping on the enemy's back and hitting him in the butt with his sword like he was riding a horse.
** And yet another one, [[JokeCharacter Dampierre]] has a throw where he bends the opponent over and spanks him three times, the last one throwing him to the ground.
* The ActionCommand for dispatching female enemies in ''GodHand'' is "Spank". Done at extremely high speed, and the "one to grow on" sends them a few hundred yards through the air.
* Done against [[spoiler:the boss Elise]] in ''VideoGame/MadWorld'' as a ShoutOut to ''God Hand''.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars {{O|riginalGeneration}}G Saga: EndlessFrontier'', in addition to the above quote we have Xiaomu, who happens to be a spanking magnet. There's even a cute sprite of her rubbing her sore tush.
* Keiko of the ''Pretty Fighter'' series uses this as an attack. Also a counterpoint to the series extensive AssKicksYou.
* Iceberg's Blazin' Move in ''[[DefJamSeries Def Jam Vendetta]]'' (in ''[[DefJamSeries Def Jam: Fight for NY]]'', this Blazin' Move belongs to Baxter) has him kick his opponent to the ground. He goes up to them and smack him them across the face. He then bends them over his knee and inflicting several spanks. It ends with him giving the opponent a back breaker.
* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', Carth threatens to put the female PlayerCharacter over his knee, to which you can respond, [[TooKinkyToTorture "Is that a promise?"]]
* One of [[PirateGirl Isabela's]] combat lines in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' is "Somebody needs a good spanking!"
* Slightly weird version of this in ''MagicalDiary''. During one of the detentions, the (cute female) player character can ask the snarky male professor to give her a spanking instead. What results will probably embarrass both of them, but is FetishFuel to a lot of the players...
* In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', Hwaorang states in his victory line to Poison that he "likes to spank girls, not get spanked by them."
* In ''ShiningInTheDarkness'', Pyra's mother isn't too thrilled with how Pyra ran off to go dungeon-diving with you and Milo, so she throws Pyra over her shoulder and spanks her until you convince her she and Milo are your TrueCompanions.

* Occurs in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' with Zii, who naturally is TooKinkyToTorture and [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090811.html very much enjoys herself.]]
** [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/bad_amazon_bad Yuki]] does this to [=DiDi=].
* In ''[[WalkyVerse Shortpacked!]]'', when manager Galasso is locked in the back, the employees get into a [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2009/comic/book-8/08-heroic-bsod/spanking/ free-for-all]], leading to multiple {{Wardrobe Malfunction}}s.
* In one of Bell's most epic [[BerserkButton rages]] in ''Webcomic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'', she [[CallingTheOldManOut blames Dr. X]] for [[spoiler:Mandark's death]]. Dr. X responds by [[MoodDissonance turning her over his knee.]] It's hard to tell whether the scene was played for laughs or not.
* In ''Northern Edge'' (a spin-off to Fred Perry's ''ComicBook/GoldDigger''), Shiela, Raphiel and Sil gets a spanking from the Naughty Tentacles of a giant frawg, in [[MamaBear punishment for annoying her tadpole]]: [[http://ne.tsunami-art.com/view.aspx?Rec=23 "Spankie!"]] ({{NSFW}})
* Webcomic/{{Loserz}} takes the idea of {{Superman}} [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/475 spanking someone]] to the logical extreme... [[spoiler: by having a case of DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength kick in for Teenage Supes, resulting in a dead girl with an exploded ass]].
* Being a BDSM-themed comic, ''{{Webcomic/Sunstone}}'' has this as part of the game for Ally and Lisa.

* Lurking Dragon's ''Rejuve Universe'' is all about this trope. To wit, humanity finds some alien technology that allows them to be immortal by "rejuvenating" their bodies. But because aliens were asexual beings, machines doing it can't handle human puberty, so the people have to be sent to childhood. Guess what happens to criminals? Yeah, that's right. They get turned to children and given to strict "spanko" parents that spank them on the slightest provocation, then again and again, for decades of punishment (because everybody is practically immortal, years mean nothing to them). You can find more explanations on [[http://www.professor-bob.net/rejuveg.html this page]] as well as original stories [[http://boyzbeingboyz.com/roguebfl/MS00.php here]] (Warning, NSFW link)

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''{{Popeye}} the Sailor''
** In the 1942 short ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzEJUlTOmd8 Pipeye, Pupeye, Poopeye An' Peepeye]]'', the [[BrattyHalfPint title nephews]] are spanked by Popeye for refusing to eat their spinach. So they do as they're told -- and with their [[PowerUpFood spinach-acquired strength]], [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments repay the favor,]] [[LiteralAssKicking and]] '''[[LiteralAssKicking then]]''' [[LiteralAssKicking some]].
-->"But" "We" "Don't" "Like" "Spinach!"
** Another one involved Popeye spanking Sweetpee for [[NoodleIncident being bad]]. However, he starts feeling guilty for it when he runs away.
* Count Spankulot in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' is built around this trope, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as should be apparent from his name.]] He's pretty much a vampire, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent except that his powers are based on spanking naughty children rather than sucking blood.]] (Note that Spankulot is the only villain in the series to get in actual legal trouble for what he does, as he has taken this too far more than once.)
* At the end of ''Practical Pig'' (the fourth Disney "Three Little Pigs" cartoon), the two younger pigs tell a lie. Practical Pig's lie-detecting and punishing invention begins spanking them for the lie. Practical Pig tells the others, "[[BlatantLies This hurts me more than it does you.]]" The machine reaches out, grabs him by his throat, spanks him and washes his mouth out with soap.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has been known to mine humor out of Bart (who is voiced by a squeaky-voiced woman, so it arguably fits this trope) being spanked by Homer -- or, rather, being ''threatened'' with a spanking by Homer, who never actually does it. One particularly kinky scene had Homer ''gleefully'' telling his son: "It's spanking season -- and I've got a hankerin' for some spankerin'!"
** Bart was spanked twice in the series, but not by anyone that was expected: the first time was at hands of former president UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush and the second one by [[TheStoner Otto]]. Ironically, it doesn't end well for either character.
** Especially funny in an early episode when Homer called Bart over for a father-son talk: Bart, assuming he was in trouble, immediately pulled down his shorts and underpants and threw himself across Homer's knees!
* There sure seemed to be a lot of spanking in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''. Usually as a result of the cat getting his head or torso caught in something and waiting ''oh so helplessly'' for the mouse to swaggeringly walk behind him, pick up a conveniently placed piece of wood, take a few practice swings....
** At the end of the short "Touche Pussy Cat" Nibbles accidentally pokes Jerry in the rear end with his sword. Nibbles shrugs nonchalently to the audience as Jerry spanks him stupid.
* Mentioned sometimes in ''ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''. According to Maurice, Julien is likely to personally administer canings to anyone who forgets King Julien Day.
* TexAvery
** The father-son spanking scene in the cartoon ''One Cab's Family'' raises the question: Since when do cars have buttocks?
*** To quote the hillbilly from Avery's ''A Feud There Was'' (WB, 1938), "In these here cartoon pictures, a body can do jes' about anything." Especially an Avery cartoon.
** Similarly, in another such cartoon, ''I Wanna Play House'', a father bear [[FurIsClothing pulls back some of the fur on the backside of one of his cubs, revealing a pair of]] ''[[FurIsClothing perfectly human buttocks]]'', [[FurIsClothing which he then proceeds to spank]].
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': In one episode, Tom Tucker is dating Peter's mom and acts like a father figure towards him. He even [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_232OsC4gE&feature=related spanks Peter]] for eating ice cream at dinner. (It's never explicitly stated, but [[GeniusBonus this scene is, line for line, a retread of a similar scene]] in ''KramerVsKramer'' featuring DustinHoffman and Justin Henry.)
** Lois spanks Stewie once for misbehaving. He gets upset about it at first, then misbehaves even more so she will spank him again, only for [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Lois to be remorseful]] and vow to be more patient with him.
** In another episode, Peter and Lois go out of town while Stewie and Brain act as the parents. Stewie has Chris over his knee and spanks him for being found with vodka by the prinicpal.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', Cartman suffers from amnesia and thinks he's a Vietnamese prostitute. At the end of the episode, he's back to normal and tells his friends he had a dream where he was a vietnamese prostitute, was forced to ride a rodeo bull and then Leonardo Di Caprio spanked him for a few hours. [[ThatWasNotADream Then Leonardo passes in his limousine to thank "her" for the wonderful time.]].
* In the {{Classic Disney Short|s}} "Bellboy Donald", the temperamental duck is forced to tend to a sadistic little brat staying at the hotel, with threats of unemployment if he lashes out so much as once. Eventually after being put through hell, he drags the child kicking and screaming to reception, enquiring whether he's fired yet, which is immediately comfirmed. Content, he takes the child offscreen and spanks him merciless, complete with an EvilLaugh.
