10One of the most decisive ways to deliver someone a '''crushing''' de'''feat''' (yes, [[LamePunReaction we can hear you groaning]]) is by having an enormous foot descend from the top of the screen and squish them.
11
12[[StockShoutOuts Many western uses of this]] are [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] to the one from the animated segments of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' and are not meant as serious. This is because western audiences often find the idea of a giant foot coming down rather silly. In eastern works, however, this trope is less likely to be used in humor and instead takes a more horrific or badass tone, due to a giant foot that crashes through the roof being an ominous [[{{youkai}} Yōkai]], {{Kaiju}} or HumongousMecha making a grand statement.
13
14When the giant foot of doom is used to show something is badass, it's TrampledUnderfoot. In many combat games it can become a FinishingStomp. When the foot is your primary weapon it becomes a GoombaStomp.
15
16When the giant foot use is just plain silly or a gag for when a scene has gone on too long, it's a case of DropTheCow. See also GiantHandsOfDoom (in some cases, a character may be capable of using both).

29* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': The Female Titan is shown to have an affinity towards kicking and stomping on people, [[spoiler:including TeamMom Petra Ral who is crushed against a tree]].

31%%* ''Anime/BlueCometSPTLayzner'': The UndignifiedDeath of [[spoiler:Gosterro]].

34* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': If you look closely at the beginning of Asuka's fight in ''End of Evangelion'', an unfortunate [[{{Mooks}} JSSFD soldier]] gets crushed under the foot of a descending Mass Produced EVA, and the shot is framed in this way.

Fortunately, he just fulfilled the last requirement for his SuperMode, and the ensuing wall of golden talismans protect him.
41* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': This is part of [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Mt. Lady]]'s repertoire. Notably, before she does it she needs to use a flatbed truck as a makeshift shoe, or else her foot would be torn to shreds (she's not actually wearing shoes because there's no shoe material stretchy enough to transform with her).

50* ''Anime/TroubleChocolate'': In the 13th episode, Deborah is [[GiantWoman grown into a giant]] to take on an [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever also-giant, robotic version of herself]]. At one point, she and her love interest Murakata run towards each other for a loving embrace, only for the latter to realize too late her gigantic stature and ends up getting stepped on. Since this is a GagSeries, he simply ends up [[SquashedFlat flattened]] on the bottom of her shoe, but is otherwise no worse for wear.
51* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': In the episode [[Recap/CowboyBebopSession20PierrotLeFou "Pierrot le Fou"]], [[spoiler: the titular villain]] is crushed to death when a [[HostileAnimatronics giant robot]] that's part of a parade at [[AmusementParkOfDoom Space Land]] steps on him.

Fury and her Young All-Star companions, who were spared the shrinking, stop Mekanique from achieving the "giant foot stomp".
59* Two stories of ''ComicBook/ThePowerpuffGirls'' do this. In "Tragic Marker" (issue #45), Mojo Jojo uses a magic marker to alter things by changing their labels, so he turns a stop sign into "stomp," after which the Monty Python foot comes down on the girls. It releases the girls after Bubbles tickles it with a feather. In "The [=MP3=]" (''ComicBook/CartoonNetworkBlockParty'' #23), the Micro-Puffs' mischief causes Blossom to grow giant size.

68** Later, in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'', Pipes is killed by Overlord by being stomped on. It's not at all comical, but a future issue makes a grim joke about it when a flashback has another character scold Pipes with "Don't make me put my foot down".
69* One of Creator/AlanMoore's "Future Shocks" from ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' features alien nomads in search of "The Chariot of the Gods".

73
74[[folder:Comic Strips]]
75* [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Jim Davis's]] first comic strip, ''Gnorm Gnat'', was said to end with a giant foot crushing the titular character. In reality, [[spoiler:the real final ''Gnorm Gnat'' strip was Gnorm wishing viewers a merry Christmas, and Davis made up the stomping foot story because he [[OldShame wasn't too fond of the comic]]]].

103** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' has [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingGhidorah King Ghidorah]]'s foot stepping on and blowing up Mark Russell and the G-Team's Osprey while the three-headed dragon is wrestling with Godzilla, leaving the human heroes with no immediate way out of the crossfire.
104* ''Franchise/JurassicPark'':

123* A parachute instructor instructs a nervous trainee before his first jump:
124-->'''Instructor:''' Pull this handle to deploy your parachute. \
125'''Trainee:''' What happens if that doesn't work? \
126'''Instructor:''' Then do this to deploy the reserve parachute. \
127'''Trainee:''' And what happens if ''that'' doesn't work? \
128'''Instructor:''' ''[smirking]'' Then a big hand will come out of the sky and save you.
129:: Come the day of the jump, the trainee tries to deploy his main chute -- nothing! So he deploys the reserve -- nothing!

130* From the long series of nonsensical elephant jokes:
131--> Why to ducks have flat feet? To stamp out forest fires.\
132Why do elephants have flat feet? To stamp out flaming ducks!

137* Narrowly averted in Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheMist'', when a gargantuan creature crosses the road and nearly steps on the fleeing protagonist's SUV.
138* Done with a kind of silly KarmicTwistEnding in a short story interlude of ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' from when it was still an anthology. A man gets fed up with people being indecisive during shoe shopping, especially during the holiday rush, so he laces all the shoes in a store with a serum that enlarges their feet so big that they ''can't'' wear any shoes. Unfortunately for him, the sudden transformation sparks a panic stampede where he ends up crushed by the now gigantic feet.
139* In the ''Literature/GiveYourselfGoosebumps'' story ''Literature/ScreamOfTheEvilGenie'', one of the storylines involves the JerkassGenie Jenna [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever growing gigantic]], and you have to chase after her.

Except, Caraxes lands directly on top of him and flattens his torso and lower half with a massive hindpaw.
146* ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' uses one of these as a ''weapon''. It's basically a boot that covers Fourze's leg, but when Fourze stomps, gravitation force compresses and ''stomps on the enemy'' all the while giving it the allusion that a giant boot is about to squish you like a bug.
147** ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'' goes a step further--to defeat giant monsters created within a person's fractured soul, Wizard turns his dragon into a ''giant dragon foot'' and uses it as his Rider Kick.
148* ''Series/{{Knightmare}}'': One magical artifact brings a large boot down from the top of the screen to squash enemies flat.
149* The opening titles of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', of course. The foot was taken from a depiction of Cupid in Bronzino's ''Art/VenusCupidFollyAndTime''. The foot in question is at the bottom left.
150* The "Basketball Head" sketch on ''Series/NoSoapRadio'' begins with a giant shoed foot falling into a hotel hallway. It turns out to be dad stepping over his son's playset. Also doubles as a ShoutOut to ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus,'' which inspired the show.
151* A shoed Giant Foot of Stomping makes an appearance in the opening credits of ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit''.
152* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
153** Every third MonsterOfTheWeek tries this after MakeMyMonsterGrow ensues. The standard procedure is for the Rangers to dodge and pray nobody notices that it's just a normal-sized foot ''really'' [[ForcedPerspective close to the camera]], and then call the HumongousMecha.
154** In ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' episode "The Mutiny Part 3", Dragonzord and Tyrannosaurus Dinozord nearly crush the Rangers under their feet. They only just stopped when they are freed from Lord Zedd's control.
155* One episode of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' builds up to a climax when Buffy is supposed to stop the fear demon Gachnar from manifesting. She messes up and he appears... but is only a few inches tall. Then this trope comes into effect: Buffy squashes him like a bug.
156* In ''Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger'', the group finisher consists of the Zyuohgers jumping up and creating a wave of energy around them, and then simultaneously slashing with their [[CoolSword Zyuoh Buster Sword Mode]]. The imagery that formed look like a giant elephant's foot slamming down on the target, with the swords looking like its toes.
157* The ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' does this on a regular basis, showing the giant foot of kaijus stomping on cars, tanks, buildings and the like. More often than not, the kaiju's feet would nearly flatten the main Ultra's human form/host, until they decide to henshin just as said monster is right ''above'' them, knocking the monster off their feet.
158** In ''Series/UltramanEighty'', an EvilutionaryBiologist named Nakagawa who is the series' sole human villain attempts to mutate a peaceful, puppy-sized space creature called a Myu into an obedient monster, only to spectacularly backfire when Myu, enlarging due to being force-fed a growth serum, promptly squashed Nakagawa flat with its foot.
159** The series finale of ''Series/UltramanGaia'' has the Ultramen team of Gaia and Agul, their monster allies, and the humans fighting against the city-sized kaiju Baroness, the Queen of Darkness, Zogu. How big is she? Enough to ''step on Ultraman Agul'' at one point.
160* ''Series/TheTripods''. The protagonists escape being squished by a Tripod because they're hiding in a [[ConvenientCranny cleft of rocks that absorb the impact]]. In the first episode of Season Two however, a freeman gets killed this way when he runs near the Tripod to divert its attention from his friends.
161* The first episode of ''Dark Temptations'' on Creator/InvestigationDiscovery features a man with a fetish for being crushed to death, and at one point his fantasy is described and depicted as [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever a giant Roman goddess going on a rampage in a village]], crushing several men including himself beneath her sandals.

165* Godzilla inflicts this trope on the bereaved singer's fiancée in the Arrogant Worms' "Tokyo Love Song".

175
176[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
177* This is the main attack mode of ''TabletopGame/{{BattleTech}}'''s HumongousMecha against enemy infantry or ground vehicles in their ''own'' hex (where they can't be shot at). There are a couple of dedicated close-in defense weapons, but as those are one-shot devices that only work under highly specific circumstances -- and not necessarily well even then -- while nonetheless taking up valuable tonnage, most 'Mechs don't actually mount them and fall back on kicking and stomping instead, which they can basically get for free.
178* The ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' card "[[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=143384 Crush Underfoot]]."
179* ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' has Bigfoot, a large ugly foot that "stomps you flat and eats your hat" should you lose to it.
180* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'':

182** Pictured is the [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orcs]] and [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Goblins]]' spell "Foot of Gork," which summons the giant spectral green foot of one of the greenskins' [[WarGod war deities]] to step on an enemy unit. "Gork's Warpath" is an improved version of the spell in which multiple units get stomped in a single turn, with the caveat that Gork might get carried away and step on some friendly units as well.

189[[folder:Video Games]]
190* In ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'', one of the many monsters it's possible to encounter is a ginormously gigantic giant, who is only visible as a pair of feet. The feet always seem to wear a pair of [[BlandNameProduct Yulgarland]] boots, for some reason.
191* ''VideoGame/AliensArmageddon'', which contains ''kaiju'' alien xenomorphs as bosses, have plenty of them trying to stomp on your character to death, where you'll need to shoot at certain weak spots or take damage. Your commander suffers this fate after the Winged Alien Queen, the largest and strongest of the aliens, steps on him, and passes you his GrenadeLauncher before he succumbs.
192* In ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'', when a giant-sized Mad Hatter stomps on [[spoiler: the White Rabbit]], which leads to a minor HeroicBSOD for Alice. Alice also gets to do this to enemies in ''VideoGame/AliceMadnessReturns''.
193* In ''VideoGame/{{Apocalypse}}'', War attempts to do this to Trey after going OneWingedAngel.
194* One of [[DishingOutDirt Ohtsuchi's]] supers in ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' has the Maiden calling down [[{{Golem}} Ohtsuchi's]] giant foot to stomp down on her opponent.
195* ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'' has the Stomponadon ([[BossSubtitles Triassic Steamroller]]): a giant, irritating dinosaur foot from nowhere with a habit of slamming down on your face with the speed of lightning, causing HPTo1 followed by death. The relatively easy way to cross the Stomping Plains involves turning on invincibility powers and just running through, but the really annoying part comes later when you have to go through again with each character separately (which proves that [[GoodThingYouCanHeal it's a very good thing that Banjo can heal himself]]).
196* The ''VideoGame/BattleTech'' tactical video game allows melee combat from 'Mechs for a series first. The common response to melee attack orders on vehicles and downed 'Mechs is for the attacker to rush up and stomp the offending party into the mud. This usually wrecks vehicles outright and severely damages them otherwise.
197* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' can summon Giant Stiletto Heels of Stomping or Kicking in combat, as well as [[GiantHandsOfDoom Giant Fists of Punching]]. The limbs are summoned through her hair by way of making a HellGate and belong to the demoness [[DealWithTheDevil Bayonetta sold her soul to]], Madama Butterfly. These attacks--stomping stiletto, included--are used for her Smash attacks in her appearances in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''
198* In ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'', both Mom and Satan's final form has this as their primary attacks. There is also a Tarot card which summons Mom's Foot, but you have to have at least one enemy in the current room for it to stomp, otherwise it will stomp ''you''.
199** This gets a reference in ''VideoGame/BladeStrangers'', where the Mom-stomping-on-someone attack is used as Isaac's super.
200* In the fourth level of ''VideoGame/{{Bugdom}}'', giant feet descend from the heavens, potentially crushing the player. As you play as a bug, these "giant" feet are really normal sized human feet.
201* In ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'', in the final level "All Bets Are Off!", one of the boss battles is against a giant, anthropomorphic cigar, Mr. Wheezy, that is lit by King Dice with a lighter. When you beat Mr. Wheezy, however, [[YouHaveFailedMe King Dice brings down his foot on top of the cigar and stamp it out]].
202* In the ''VideoGame/{{Cyclomaniacs}}'' series going in reverse at the start of a race results in your rider getting squashed by giant monster feet and losing time.
203* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'':
204** One of Donovan's super is summoning a giant who'll stomp down on your opponent.
205** Anakaris also has this as a special attack (although with a floating sarcophagus in the shape of a foot), and a super where several of them come flying down.
206* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar 2'' has orks' Foot of Gork ability. Unlike the page image, you don't see the foot, just an ominously shrinking crosshair and then a giant footprint the size of a tank, surrounded by damaged units picking themselves up.
207* ''VideoGame/{{Deadpool}}'': Deadpool makes a dynamic entrance in an old Sentinel foot:
208--> ''Deadpool:'' "Hey man I heard ya liked boots! So I put my boot in this boot, so I can stomp ya while I stomp ya!"
209* "Evil Stomp" is a trap line in the ''VideoGame/{{Deception}}'' series, dealing a high amount of damage but being very easy to avoid.
210* The introduction cutscene of Kojira in ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'' has her doing this on the scientist overseeing her transformation from schoolgirl to ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' [[{{Kaiju}} parody]].
211* The 1983 microcomputer game ''[=DinoEggs=]''. If you didn't get a fire going quickly, the Dino Mom's foot would start slamming down and eventually squash you.
212* When ''VideoGame/{{Divekick}}'' matches end in a draw, a giant blue foot comes down and crushes both combatants.
213* ''VideoGame/DontStarve'', The Rein of Giants DLC gives us Biiigfoot, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a giant reptilian foot]] [[spoiler:[[EasterEgg with a brain on top of it]]]].
214* ''Dynomite Deluxe'' has "Stomped" mode, where failing to clear all the eggs in time gets you flattened by an angry mama dinosaur.
215* In ''VideoGame/EternalChampions'', one of the stage Fatalities causes a huge reptilian foot to squish the opponent into a [[MadeOfPlasticine messy puddle]]. Considering this happens atop a skyscraper with Japanese neon letters, it's pretty clear [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} whose foot that is]]...
216* ''VideoGame/{{Extinction}}'' have you battling the Ravenii, gigantic monstrosities the size of buildings. If you happen to be on ground level, they'll attempt to stomp you underfoot.
217* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'':
218** Paul Bunyan explains her [[LimitBreak Noble Phantasm]] to be an attack that uses the raw power of the United States's founding myth as a concept and converts it to energy to defeat the opponent. By all appearances, it's actually just her [[SizeShifter growing to her maximum size]] and then stomping on the opponent. (This is generally considered a good thing, because this means its animation is about two seconds long.)
219** Creator/HansChristianAndersen summons giant feet wearing red high heels to represent "Literature/TheRedShoes" as one of his attacks. The wearer of those shoes is his Master and fellow playable character, Kiara Sesshouin, from ''VideoGame/FateExtra CCC''.
220* In ''VideoGame/{{Grow}} Cannon'', one of the many things used to wake up a sleeping man is a giant foot that stomps him flat. [[HeavySleeper That's far from enough.]]
221* ''VideoGame/TheGunstringer'' uses a Giant ''Fist'' of Stomping to finish off his boss battles. Aside from not being a foot, it fits the trope perfectly.
222* The "Divine Stamp" and "Super Sumo Stomp" block techniques in the ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'' series, which both summon a giant, glowing foot to [[SquashedFlat flatten]] the opposing player.
223* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' has an item called "Atlas's Foot", which summons a giant foot to stomp on the enemies.
224* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' had a monster named Stomper Stomping that dropped a cyborg stompin' boot during [[YouMeanXmas Crimbo]] of 2007.
225* ''VideoGame/TheLostWorldJurassicParkConsole'' had you play a chicken-sized Compsognathus for the first set of levels. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdjrjYdZLqA One of the levels]] had you traverse under a stampede of Brachiosaurus while desperately trying to avoid their feet.
226%%* The GameOver sequence from ''VideoGame/ManicMiner''.
227* In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'', Bowser gets subjected to this ''twice''. First it's the Tower of Yikk and then it's [[spoiler: Fawful's roboticized version of Peach's Castle]]. He gets better shortly after and much asskicking ensues.
228* In ''Ultimate VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', Ant-Man does this to an opponent when Hawkeye initiates his Level 3 Hyper Combo.
229* ''VideoGame/MazinSagaMutantFighter'' have two of it's bosses, Garada K-7 and Negative Mazinger, firstly appearing as their gigantic foot which they'll attempt to crush you onscreen. You avoid getting stomped into a pulp while slashing their heels, and if you damage them enough they'll then leave the area.
230* In the ''Videogame/MechWarrior'' and ''Videogame/MechAssault'' series, infantry can be crushed underfoot by your [[HumongousMecha BattleMech]] (with a [[LudicrousGibs satisfying spray of blood]] in ''Mechassault''), though PoweredArmor cannot. It's possible to crush powered armor in ''[=MechWarrior=] Living Legends'', but it's very finicky and most often happens to allies in your own hangar than actual enemies. In ''Mechwarrior 4'', you could also crush tanks by stepping on them, though it would damage your legs in the process.
231* In the ''VideoGame/MedievalCop'' series when Dregg uses his Ragnarock technique an illusionary giant rock golem briefly appears before an illusion of its foot stomps on his opponent.
232* One of Metal Gear Rex's attacks in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''. Obviously, [[ChunkySalsaRule this kills Snake instantly]].
233** Played with in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'': Biggest giant robot foot ev-HOLY SHIT IS SNAKE LIFTING THAT THING WITH HIS BARE HANDS?!
234* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gslF5G5erE One of the many ways you can die in the rare Playstation 2 video game]] ''VideoGame/MisterMosquito''.
235* One of the later hazards of ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterPC'' are deformed feet of humans, ending in ''stumps'', periodically dropping from the air to squash the player.
236* In ''VideoGame/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', the giant Bronzino foot squashes Mr. Gumby in a cutscene when he loses a life.
237* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'':
238** Jax has does this as a Fatality in both ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3'' and for his Kameo Fatality in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'', inexplicitly showing off never-before-seen {{Sizeshifter}} powers to do so.
239** In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', one of Ermac's secret Fatalities involves him crushing his opponent after shrinking them.
240** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' has Cetrion, who has a Fatality that involves trapping her opponent between rocks, and growing taller to then stomp on them. However, unlike the above examples, the opponent survives this, as she then grows even larger to instead off them with a beam from inner-Earth orbit.
241** D'Vorah's Arcade ending in ''Mortal Kombat 11'' has her use the power of the Hourglass to rewrite reality to turn humanoids into tiny races while her own species are colossal titans, with all that implies. Among other things, an unfortunate human man is shown being brutally crushed under the titanic foot of one of D'Vorah's kind.
242* ''VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade'' has a portion of a boss fight against one of these. Attached to a giant demon, of course.
243* In the first ''VideoGame/NarutoUltimateNinja'' video game, Sakura has a special attack where she uses a Genjutsu to cast an illusion that makes herself appear giant-sized and then proceeding to stomp on her opponent. Kakashi and Sasuke, as they can use their Sharingan ability to copy fighting styles, can also use this attack when mimicking Sakura.
244* ''VideoGame/PrimalCarnage'': Tyrant class dinosaurs are so large that simply walking over a human can kill them. The ''Acrocanthosaurus'' specifically has a ShockwaveStomp attack which will [[OneHitKill instantly kill]] any human within close proximity to it, and send ones slightly further away flying, even through walls.
245* ''[[VideoGame/PrimalRage Primal Rage II]]'': Malyssa is the human avatar of the AnimalisticAbomination Vertigo, and like Vertigo, Malyssa shrinks her opponent during her [[FinishingMove Extinction move]]. However, whereas Vertigo [[MonstrousCannibalism eats her shrunken opponent]], Malyssa instead opts to stomp and grind them into a bloody pulp under her bare foot.
246* The Creator/{{Jaleco}} arcade game ''[[http://www.klov.net/game_detail.php?game_id=9140 Psychic 5]]'' had {{Satan}}'s colossal foot crushing the player every time they ran out of time. Odd because Satan is portrayed in every level as not being much bigger than the player characters.
247* ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'': One of the earliest bosses, the Hoodstomper, is just this -- a BambooTechnology[=/=]{{Steampunk}} mix mecha made of two big feet who will try to stomp Rayman to death. Once the pilot is defeated, Rayman takes control of the machine and [[UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem uses it to stomp incoming Hoodlum troopers]].
248* In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' a boss Ndesu does this to the RedShirt Dave Johnson in a cutscene and repeatedly attempts this to Chris and Sheva during a fight.
249* A possible effect of opening the Forbidden Box in ''VideoGame/ShiningInTheDarkness'' is a large green foot stomping all your enemies flat, which is a guaranteed OneHitKill. If you're willing to LevelGrind a bit you can get the Ogre's Flute which always has this effect when used in battle.
250* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
251** One of the microgames on the ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' stage is a recreation of the below-mentioned "Sole Man", but this time as the playable Fighters having to avoid being stomped on.
252** One of the scribbles on the [=PictoChat=] 2 stage has a giant pair of boots walk through the stage, stepping on and burying any player caught beneath them. They sometimes have cleats.
253** Starting with ''3DS/Wii U'', Bayonetta is a playable character, and just like in [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} her original games]], she can summon the massive foot of Madama Butterfly to stomp her opponents with her Down Smash attack. It's highly effective against airborne opponents and opponents clinging to a ledge, since it has a meteor effect.
254** In ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'', one of the attacks of the giant robot boss Galleom is to rear back and stomp down with a single foot. He can also jump across the stage multiple times in an attempt to crush the player, and also make himself airborne briefly, targeting the player, and then slamming down on them.
255** The end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRwHxYi9sVs King K. Rool's reveal trailer]] for ''Ultimate'' has him lying defeated as Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong celebrates. He crawls off the screen and returns as a giant that immediately stomps both Kongs into the ground.
256* ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'': Many of Gold Lightan's attacks are stomps, including one where he kicks the poor soul to the wall, and stomps on and spins on their body. For the record, Gold Lightan is a giant alien robot. Ouch.
257* ''VideoGame/TrioThePunch'' has a boss named Tarosunoashi (Talos's Foot), which can be defeated by [[spoiler:letting it break through the floor]].
258* In Twister's ending in ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal 2'', she is granted the wish to go {{faster than light|Travel}}, travels back in time, and gets stomped by a dinosaur.
259* ''VideoGame/VandalHeartsIIHeavensGate'': The animation for the Minimizer spell features a giant reptilian foot crushing the target.
260* ''VideoGame/WarioWare'':
261** ''VideoGame/WarioWareIncMegaMicrogames'' introduces the "Sole Man" series of micro games, in which you control the bug-sized Fronks from being stomped on by a giant foot. The size of the foot changes with the difficulty, starting with a girl's sneaker as the smallest, then a man's shoe, and ending with an overweight woman's sandal being the largest and hardest to avoid.
262** ''VideoGame/GameAndWario'': The "Sole Man" game is given an overhaul, which while it retains the girl stomping at a Fronk, it also adds in Wario-Man having to avoid being crushed by a dinosaur, and--in a bizarre twist--a Goomba-suited boy who actually ''must'' try to get [[GoombaStomp stomped on]] by Mario.
263* The final stage of ''Youkai Yashiki'' has large foot-shaped SmashingHallwayTrapsOfDoom.

267* Mr. Big Shoe in ''WebAnimation/TheDementedCartoonMovie''.
268* One of the "www.starwarsspoofs.com" shorts has to do with an Ewok, and is culminated by an Imperial AT-ST appearing out of nowhere and stomping the critter, grinding it into the ground for good measure.

273* ''WebComic/EveryoneIsHome'': Team Star's [[HumongousMecha Mechavroom]] attempts to do this to the group of Smash Fighters during their confrontation, and is only stopped by Incineroar Gigantamaxing and then punching it in the nick of time.
274* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': Squeak has a fetish for being stomped on by giant paws, which both impresses and appalls--impalls--Spo after he tried to hit on her.
275* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' had a giant robot foot built by Professor Madblood. (Just the foot--his budget ran out before he could build the rest of the giant robot.)
276** [[HulkSpeak "Master also run out of funds to provide Foot with articles or past tenses."]]
277** Which leads to the question, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20071111143532/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12587 "Who would win in a fight between a giant robot foot accompanied by a rifle-toting assassin, and an army of hamsters in mechanical suits?"]]

284* ''WebVideo/DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog'': Doctor Horrible uses his own foot on Captain Hammer in an ImagineSpot.
285* Happens to the guy at the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzpmjBcQ_-c this video]] after making fun of a girl's height. Though it's more of a play on perception, as shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVE5i_JmpCE this video]].
286* ''WebVideo/TierZoo'' outright states that a sauropod's stomp is literally the most devastating move in the 'game', knocking down the target and causing [[OneHitKill lethal damage]].
287* In the ''Website/CollegeHumor'' video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FWtBOsqk8M Josh's Mindhouse: Magic Powers]], Josh's friend Sarah is revealed to be a witch when she [[ForcedTransformation transforms him into a tiny frog]]. The video ends with her stepping on him, shown from his/the viewer's perspective.

290[[folder:Western Animation]]
291* At the end of the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "Memory of a Memory", Jake does this to Marceline's ex-boyfriend Ash.
292* Godzilla returns to stomp a poor news anchor in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.
293* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' shows this in the original intro as [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]] becomes Giant-Man and flattens a HYDRA robot.
294* During an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' titled "Powerless!", Captain Atom comes up with several scenarios in which Batman is defeated easily. One of them involve him confronting a rampaging Giganta, who simply stomps on him.
295* In the ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode “Getting Antsy”, Gosalyn was unawarely about to step on a shrunken Darkwing. Darkwing tried to flee but Gosalyn steps on his cape.
296* The giant girl Gullivette in Episode 22 of ''WesternAnimation/DofusKerubsBazaar'' attempts to do this to the heroes towards the end of the episode.
297* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'': This happens to Quailman a few times, by way of a giant stone foot falling on him.
298* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
299** At the end of "A Head in the Polls" has the newly-[re]elected President Nixon reveal his gigantic robotic body, which nonchalantly steps on his assistant while onstage.
300** In "Anthology of Interest I", the first segment features a giant Bender who stomps on multiple soldiers--including Zapp Brannigan and Kiff--after they injure Fry when the latter tried to stop them from attacking the robot.
301** In "Benderama", the Planet Express headquarters is overrun by thousands of tiny clones of Bender, which the crew has to exterminate before the Benders [[GreyGoo get even smaller and threaten the planet]]. During the following extermination montage, one of these tiny Benders [[SquashedFlat is stomped flat underneath Leela's boot and then peeled off]].
302* ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'': Rex's Punk Busters, where he uses his nanites to create giant mechanical boots for himself with the function of jumping long distances InASingleBound, kicking really hard, and crushing foes underfoot.
303* Parodied twice in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' with Mandy. The first was the "Crushed" title card, and the second in the intro to the ChristmasSpecial after Mandy says "Bah-humbug".
304* In episode 12 of ''WesternAnimation/{{Harley Quinn|2019}}'''s first season, the Queen of Fables sends Harley's crew up the beanstalk from Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk, with the intention of having the giant in the clouds kill them. During the fight, the giant stomps on Clayface, but due to his physiology, he easily survives albeit [[SquashedFlat left a flat mess on the bottom of the giant's shoe]].
305* The intro of ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' segments included in the old ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperHeroes'' cartoons included a shot of a giant Hulk foot stomping on artillery.
306* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' has a 50-foot tall Jade do this to the attacking Dark Hand thugs. However, since they're under the influence of Dao-Long Wong's magic they only disappear when smashed. Even Valmont is savvy enough to see their impending doom when the Dark Hand starts attacking the 50-foot tall girl.
307* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Giganta does this to Superman, once taking rather obvious evil relish in grinding the heel of her shoe into him. The third time she tries this, it's subverted as her foot comes down but Superman hasn't been beat up as much and just flips her over.
308* Season 4 of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' introduces the villainness known as "Sole Crusher", whose ability allows her to absorb people through her boots, which makes her stronger and also makes her grow bigger the more people she absorbs. Initially starting out by [[KickChick kicking people]], once she's grown big enough, she simply starts stepping on people.
309* When Glomp and Hoogi perform a FusionDance to catch the [[BigBad Scorpi]] + [[ForcedTransformation Glurt]] [[MergingMistake Murp]] in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'' episode Murp Romp, they get smashed by a giant foot [[ShoutOut à la]] ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''. Something similar happens when Burnard and Meltus try to combine [[FusionDance combine]] the first time to free Flamzer from a Forest Freeze in the first segment of "Mixels Moon Madness", though it [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes horribly wrong]] and results in a [[ForcedTransformation Murp]].
310* In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', Dr. Doofenshmirtz invents the "Giant Carbon Footprint" -- a giant foot made out of an ungodly amount of carbon paper.
311* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'', the girls are shrunk down to battle a rain of nano-bots that has started eating the city. The remaining bots then [[CombiningMecha combine]] into a giant mono-bot and gain the upper hand. But since the "giant" mono-bot is only three inches high, Professor Utonium steps on it.
312* About halfway through the ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' song/episode "Unpack Your Adjectives", we see a very tall, lanky girl with a short, chubby boy. The boy starts laughing at her, so much so that he's completely unaware that she is growing even taller--enough so that only her legs are visible by the end of it--all the while he is also shrinking. By the time he realizes what's going on, it's too late as the girl quickly stomps him flat. [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2y2s9_unpack-your-adjectives-stomp_fun See it here.]]
313* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
314** Done in a CouchGag from the season five episode "Homer Goes to College."
315** During an ''[[JustForFun/TheItchyAndScratchyShow Itchy and Scratchy]]'' segment the end of another episode, Itchy--after failing to catch a speeding Scratchy--prays in front of a church he passes. Then God stomps Scratchy and sends him to Hell.
316* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
317** When Steven finally faces off against [[spoiler:Blue and Yellow Diamond]], this is absolutely ''not'' played for laughs. When [[spoiler:Yellow Diamond]] catches sight of him, she barrels forward and stomps him into the sand as hard as she can. Even with his shield, Steven is knocked unconscious by the blow.
318** A later episode has him saving the other Gems, only for the foot of the combined Diamond ships to step on him and the other Crystal Gems. But it didn't hurt them, because it was stopped by [[spoiler:Sunstone, Steven's fusion with Garnet]].
319* ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'':
320** In an episode featuring the outrageously British, psychedelic villain Mad Mod, this character uses mass hypnosis to convince the city that the American Revolution never happened and that they are all under British rule, proclaiming himself "King Moddy I". The episode is full of homages to British pop culture, and at the end of a small montage set to a Not!Beatles song, the Titans are crushed by the Creator/MontyPython foot.
321** Also, [[LetsYouAndHimFight Cyborg tries to crush Bumblebee]] in one episode this way before realizing they're on the same side. (Of course, Cyborg isn't giant; Bumblebee's powers make her the size of a regular bee.)
