->'''Loki:''' ENOUGH! You are, all of you, beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature! And I will not be bullied by--\\
''[Hulk grabs Loki by the leg and slams him into the ground over his head, left to right, a few times]''\\
'''Hulk:''' Puny god.
-->-- ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''

One way for a character to deliver a severe beat-down on an opponent is to pick said opponent up (often by the feet) and slam him left-right-left-right overhead into the ground, (a little like the pendulum of a metronome). It's generally an indication that either the character doing the slamming is [[SuperStrength very strong]], or [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry very angry]] or both. This can be played for even greater effect (or [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]]) if the character doing the slamming is either very small or, in normal circumstances, shouldn't have that kind of strength at all.

When the character doing it has no superhuman strength, this becomes the preferred way to compose a tongue-in-cheek representation of UsefulNotes/{{Judo}} or any other martial art.

A specific kind of GrappleMove.

* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', Goku is on the receiving end of this from [[spoiler:Universe 6's Kale]].

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099:'' In a run in with the Maestro, an evil and insane future Hulk, this winds up happening to Miguel, who quickly realises as strong as the Maestro is, he could quite easily just ''kill'' him (and has already broken several bones). He's mashing Miguel for funsies.

* Ragna and Nu subject each other to this in Chapter 76 of ''Fanfic/BlazBlueAlternativeRemnant''. First, Nu grabs Ragna by the face and slams him into the ground a couple times before throwing him into the arena wall. Then later in the same fight, Ragna returns the favor after [[spoiler:becoming the Black Beast]], grabbing Nu by the leg and repeatedly slamming her into the ground before tossing her away.
* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', during the first book's FinalBattle, the Hulk repeats his famous trick from ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', this time against [[spoiler:'''[[EldritchAbomination Chthon]]''']].
-->'''Loki:''' It is so satisfying to see that happen to someone else.
* ''Fanfic/EchoesOfYesterday'': When his blades fail to even put a scratch on ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, [[Literature/{{Worm}} Hookwolf]] resorts to grab her and slam her into the pavement. Needless to say, it also fails to hurt her (but succeeds in annoying her)
-->And then he started to shake me like a ragdoll, just to add insult to injury...\\
My world spun and I snarled with frustration; I was getting really tired of villains manhandling me. He started slamming repeatedly against the ground in some sort of attempt to break me in two. I was jarred back and forth with each slam, but unharmed; at least, unharmed enough to focus on raising both my hands over my head and slamming them down on his face right as he smashed me against the ground again.
* ''Fanfic/GemsAreUnbreakable'': During one battle between [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Josuke]] and [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Amethyst]], he reverts the pavement into coal tar in order to stop her movements. Then Crazy Diamond painfully tears her away from the ground and slams her onto another patch of coal tar. Again and again.
* In the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fanfic ''Fanfic/OathkeepersAwakening'', original villain Aros is subjected to this by both [[WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} Grandmother Willow]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} Kevin]]. The latter even swallows his Keyblade.
* In ''Fanfic/LastMageOfKrypton'', this is how Neville [[spoiler:using his Orang-utan animagus form]] takes out all three of [[spoiler:the Lestrange family.]]
* Brandon from ''Fanfic/MistOfDoom'' is a very tall and muscular guy who wields a coffin full of guns. When his coffin gets knocked away from him by a dragon, he grabs its tail and smashes the dragon into the ground again and again.
* Ryuko closes out her fight with Satsuki in ''Fanfic/NaturalSelection'' by whipping her around by the ankles for a good ten seconds, more as a victory lap than anything else.
* The troll unexpectedly does this to Paul in ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached''. It expects a bloody shredded corpse when it's done. It's more than a little surprised (and terrified) when the annoyed [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] Paul, hanging upside-down in its grasp, says, "Are you quite finished?"

* ''Franchise/{{Asterix}}'':
** ''WesternAnimation/AsterixInBritain'': Obelix unwittingly inflicts this on Anticlimax while shaking his hand.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix'': Cylindric the German, a diminutive judo fighter, performs this on the far, far larger Obelix. Then Asterix does it to Cylindric under the guise of a lesson.
** ''WesternAnimation/AsterixTheMansionsOfTheGods'': Impedimenta and Dulcia are seen doing this to Roman legionaries in the final battle.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfTheMagicPotion'': Done in the final battle between [[spoiler:the giant Sulfurix and the HumongousMecha-like Roman formation]]. Sadly, Cylindric's music doesn't make a comeback.
* ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'': Koda does this to one of the two moose brothers in the credit outtakes.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'', Syndrome engages in some of this during his initial confrontation with Mr. Incredible, with the help of a TractorBeam. However, it shuts off on its own after only a few bashes, sending Mr. Incredible flying off into the distance instead.
* ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'':
** ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'': Po is beaten by Mantis using this style of beatdown.
** In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'', Po gets this treatment from a ''turnip who knows kung fu''. [[spoiler:A turnip that his parents adopted to replace him. That's Po having a nightmare, if you wonder.]]

* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves'' features the party's druid, Doric, wildshaping into an owlbear to pull this on [[spoiler:a depowered Sofina the Red Wizard to close out the film's final battle. Then she rapid-fire pounds her into the ground. Then does it again to be sure. Then hurls her into a wall, which collapses on her.]] WordOfGod has confirmed this is another ''Avengers'' shout-out.
-->'''Edgin:''' I think you got her!
* ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'' had the famous "sleeping bag" kill where Jason Voorhees drags a girl in a sleeping bag out from her tent and then slams her against a tree (once in the theatrical cut, six times in the [[{{Bowdlerise}} deleted scenes]]). ''Film/JasonX'' and ''VideoGame/FridayThe13thTheGame'' both recreated this kill as an homage.
* Played with in ''Film/ManOfSteel''. In a nod to ''The Avengers'', Nam-Ek catches Superman's leg before take-off and looks to do to Clark what the Hulk did to Loki. Nam-Ek slams Clark into the ground and heaves him up again but instead of repeating the attack on the other side, Nam-Ek hoists Clark up and throws him into the ground full-force.
* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** The climax of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' has the Hulk [[ShutUpHannibal shutting]] [[TalkToTheFist up]] Loki this way, interrupting the AGodAmI monologue he was warming up to.
--->'''Hulk:''' Puny god.
** This receives a hilarious CallBack in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' [[spoiler:when Thor is subjected to the ''very same treatment'' (even with the exact number of mashings) by the same guy during their fight.]] Loki is positively delighted upon witnessing it.
--->'''Loki:''' '''[[BigYes YES!]]''' '''''[[InUniverseCatharsis THAT'S]]''''' '''[[InUniverseCatharsis HOW IT FEELS!]]'''
** One-upped by Groot in ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'': after dealing with Korath's forces alongside Star Lord and Drax, another group of {{Mooks}} appear to contain the three. [[spoiler:Groot then proceeds to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice shish-kebab]] a few of them, then uses them to whip away the others.]]
** ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'': During the big climactic fight, Cassie Lang tussles against M.O.D.O.K., at one point grabbing his harpoon cable and using her giant size to slam him against the ground left and right.
* ''Film/{{Sky High|2005}}'': Will does this to [[spoiler:Royal Pain]] when they fight.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* Phase of the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' does this to a ''giant''. In "Boston Brawl II" Phase (who is five foot nothing but a density changer) pounds the forty-foot Matterhorn like this (because of the way their powers interact, Phase only has to lift Matterhorn's normal 200 lb. body weight, so he can just move the giant around like a huge balloon), and then -- just to add insult to injury -- once he was unconscious, Phase uses him as a giant flail, smashing some of the other supervillains in the battle.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'': In the episode "Judgment Day", this is done to Strife by Hercules.
* ''Series/UltramanDyna'' have this happening to the Ultra when fighting Jagira, a giant tree-monster, who entangles Dyna in its roots and then smashing Dyna side-by-side. However this scene is PlayedForLaughs, and Dyna simply breaks out of those roots moments later.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* In an episode of ''Series/EureekasCastle'', a blue Slurm that Batly catches does this to him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsThirdEdition'': From the splatbook ''Oriental Adventures'', the feat "Great Throw" allows inflicting damage on a trip attack by swinging a foe overhead. Since nothing in the "prone" condition prevents from being targeted by another trip attack, this can be done again and again during a full-attack action, resulting in this trope. This is especially nasty since the move ignores armor entirely, although it doesn't work on creatures bigger than the tripper.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* Oinkie uses this as his behind grab in ''VideoGame/AnarchyReigns''. With one hand. By the head. Effortlessly. Did we mention that some of the other characters are 9-foot close-to-a-ton-weighing cyborgs?
%%* Alien Green from ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit'' can do this.
* ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' and ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'' have the greatest example in the history of our species. With the right command, one of the toads can grab [[WouldHitAGirl Linda Lash]] by the hair, yank it to bend her over backward, ''kick her in the butt repeatedly with a huge grin'', then slam her back and forth ''by the hair'' until she dies. Given that [[LedgeBats Linda's whip attack has severe knockback and the level is filled with]] {{Bottomless Pit}}s, the player will enjoy this hilarious beating as much as the toads do.
* VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} can do this to enemies that she uppercuts into the air as a Punish Attack, slamming them around for some extra Halos. More amazingly, she can also do this to Fortitudo, a ginormous dragon angel boss that she fights early on in the game.
* This is how the creature in ''VideoGame/{{Carrion}}'' deals with {{Heavily Armored Mook}}s: seizing them in its tentacles and whomping them against the walls, floor, and ceiling until they're the consistency of toothpaste.
* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' certain enemies (the scorpion-like Sir Krawlie and his later {{Palette Swap}}s) can do this to your characters as a HPTo1 attack.
* ''VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga'': Kyle Katarn will do this in ''Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy'' if [[spoiler:you turn to the dark side and have to fight him as the final boss.]] As a CombatPragmatist, he opens up with a knee bash to the face, then follows up with two side to side slams. Kyle is not any larger or stronger than any other Jedi or even any other human in the setting. He's just that badass.
* This is D-Mob's back Blazin' move in ''[[VideoGame/DefJamSeries Def Jam Vendetta]]''. He grabs his opponent's legs and slams them on the ground face-first four times, the first three slams going back and forth, the fourth whipping the opponent around to land in the same spot as the previous slam.
* ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong94'': Donkey Kong does a single-side version of this to Mario if you're foolish enough to touch him.
* ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'':
** In ''[[GameMod Brutal Doom]]'', the Revenants' melee finisher attack involves smashing the victim against the ground before tossing them into anyone in the way.
** ''Project Brutality'' has the Doomguy do this to any Ifirt he kills while in "RIP AND TEAR" Mode. He grabs the demon by the wrist and slams him into the ground until he dies in a puff of flame.
* In ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'', a [[PintSizedPowerhouse tiny cat]] mook will do this to Jim if he approaches it. Then again, [[SpeedRun it's a really fast way to skip parts of the level]] if you [[CastFromHitPoints have enough energy to endure it]].
* ''VideoGame/ExitLimboOpening'' allows you to pull this off when your power's upgraded, at which point you can grab a mook and smash him side-to-side for extra damage. You can even [[GrievousHarmWithABody use the mook as an impromptu club on other mooks]].
* In the Intelligence video for the SPECIAL system in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', Vault Boy accidentally hits an alarm that turns a Mr. Handy hostile. Mr. Handy proceeds to grab Vault Boy's ankle and bash him around.
* ''VIdeoGame/{{Gekido}}'': Ushio, the largest of the players, can execute a grab move on mooks and then smash them from side-to-side for extra damage.
* The gorilla luchador in ''VideoGame/GodHand'' can do this to Gene and it hurts a lot, even if Gene manages to interrupt it with a GroinAttack.
* ''VideoGame/{{Growl}}'': Poachers beware, depending on how they stand with each other, the rangers can slam stunned enemies back and forth in Runark. This is usually enough to kill mooks outright, unfortunately it's mostly a random occurrence.
* This is the player's main attack in the N64 game ''VideoGame/IggysReckinBalls''. There's even a multi-hit variation where the victim is slammed back and forth and eventually straight through the ground. This is, however, time-consuming, and considering this is a ''racing'' game, the multi-hit doesn't get used too often except by SpitefulAI.
* Scarecrow's Super Move in ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' begins with him opening a tear in reality with his hook, through which a giant Arkham Asylum-style Scarecrow grabs his opponent with his own hook, slams him into the ground twice, and then dunks him into an open grave with the opponent's name on the headstone.
* ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'':
** Glacius does this.
** Kan-Ra one-ups him by using his bandages to repeatedly slam his opponent into the ground.
* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series, Goro Daimon's signature grapple super takes this form. Orochi Yashiro has one as his command throw and two of his supers, assuming LimitBreak. Chang Koehan can also do this as a command throw, and one handed to boot.
* The Tank does this to some zombies in the intro movie of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.
* In ''VideoGame/LegoMarvelSuperHeroes'' and subsequent LEGO Marvel games Hulk can do this movement to most enemies the same way he did it to Loki in the ''Avengers'' film.
* Luigi can perform this on ghosts in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'' while they are being sucked by the Poltergust G-00, taking the place of the Power Surge mechanic from ''Dark Moon''. This can do immense damage to both the ghosts and the surroundings [[GrievousHarmWithABody (which can include other ghosts hit by the ghost Luigi is mashing with).]]
* One of the finishers in ''VideoGame/MadWorld'' has Jack doing this, finishing by tossing the enemy into anything or anyone in his way. It's pretty satisfying to watch.
* ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'':
** In the first game, Venom can do this with webbing.
** In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', Super-Skrull combines this with his [[RubberMan Mr. Fantastic]] and [[SuperStrength Thing]] powers.
* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': As shown in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld: Iceborne'' and ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterRise'', the Rajang uses this as its preferred technique against Flying Wyverns, grabbing them out of the air by the tail, then bashing them against the ground few times before tossing them into the nearest wall. The scary thing is how ''[[TheWorfEffect easily]]'' it does it, considering most Flying Wyverns are formidable threats in their own right, cementing the Fanged Beast's place in the power hierarchy.
* This is a constant part of Jax's moveset in any ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' he appears.
** For Reptile's Fatal Blow in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'', after his kameo does their attack, he grabs his opponent by the ankle with his tail and slams them this way twice before he chomps down on their upper torso.
** [[ComicBook/{{Invincible}} Omni-Man]]'s "Spilled Kontents" attack string echoes what he did to Darkwing in the animated series.
* ''VideoGame/NinjaBaseballBatMan'' has [[MightyGlacier Beanball Roger's]] Foil Buster.
* ''Franchise/ThePinkPanther in Passport to Peril'': Pinky does this to the {{mooks}} who attack him during a Peking Opera performance.
* The scorpion enemies do this to you in ''VideoGame/Pitfall3DBeyondTheJungle''.
* The basic attack in ''VideoGame/RodLand''.
* ''VideoGame/{{Shank}}'' can do this after grabbing a basic {{Mook}} and stabbing them multiple times.
* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'': This is one of Cerebella's super attacks, topped off by her flinging the opponent in the air and impaling them on a blade hidden in one of her TrickedOutShoes.
* ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'': The G-type mech can do this to a stunned foe, and is hilarious to watch on mechs and bosses twice your size. And it even damages other enemies too!
* ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'': Sonic the Werehog can use the Beatdown to do this to some of the bigger mooks once he gets his elasticated hands on them.
* In ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur'' Rock can grab an enemy's feet when they're on the ground and do this before hurling them away.
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', T.Hawk has this as his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrnDRt7ufzw second ultra combo.]]
** Oro in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Street Fighter III]]'' has this as one of his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfFNYuTmlfU super arts]] (seen at the 30s mark). It returns in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' in a weakened form as a command grab and in its full glory as his V-Trigger I.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'', [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus]] can do this with her up grapple attack.
* ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime'' has this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ3Syf4fEYI Here's a video of it]]. It's also SimpleYetAwesome as it's a OneHitKill on all Foot Ninjas (the one being thrown, as well as those hit by him) and gives you more points than killing them normally.
* The grab attack from ''Turtles in Time'' returns in ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesShreddersRevenge'' and is every bit as effective against Foot Clan ninjas.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', [[BearsAreBadNews Kuma]] has a left side throw called the ''Bear Slam'', in which this trope comes into play.
* Though the video game itself suffers from crushing monotony, ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' for the Genesis allows the eponymous hero to do this as an entertaining finishing move on the various enemies in the game (alongside [[MegatonPunch an uppercut that can launch them off screen]] or [[FingerPokeOfDoom simple finger-flick to the head that sends them sprawling]]).
* There's a [[TheManyDeathsOfYou particularly nightmarish way to die]] in the classic 1996 ''VideoGame/TombRaiderI'' at the hands of the Abomination. The creature grabs Lara by the leg (and she screams) then it proceeds to fuck her shit up by slamming her into the floor, with a SickeningCrunch with each impact. Once the Abomination realizes that Lara has died after the third time, it dangles her mangled and crushed body and then drops it. The scene plays out like a child being a bit too rough with a toy and accidentally breaking it.
* In ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'', [[EldritchAbomination Merkava]] does this to his opponent as his grab.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', the final boss fight of a No Mercy run features [[spoiler: Sans repeatedly mashing you back and forth against the walls of the combat area.]]
* While the selling point of ''VideoGame/Wild9'' is that you can [[TheJoysOfTorturingMooks torture enemy mooks by throwing them into environmental hazards]], if there are no hazards around you then defeat them by repeatedly smashing into the ground.
* [[PublicDomainCharacter Rasputin]] has this as a throw in the ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes'' series, starting with the first sequel.
* There's not a dedicated move for this in ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'', but while in [[StanceSystem Beast style]], if the player presses the grab button while facing a downed opponent's feet he'll grab them by the leg, and pressing it again causes him to hurl them over his shoulder and slam them back down. The only thing stopping the player from doing this repeatedly is if other enemies interrupt or if the player doesn't grab fast enough before the downed enemy starts getting back up.

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcljlDHSKO0&t=11m38s Ninja Action 1]]'', the ninja protagonist inflicts such a mashing to the DarkActionGirl he meets (at the 11:38 mark) by grabbing her hair, after announcing his clear intent to do so in a short [[TrashTalk trash-talking]] exchange with her (in the form of stick-figure animation).
* General Ironwood of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' smashes an elder Beowolf Grimm that had just ripped two of his androids in half from side to side. Since he had barely fought onscreen prior to that point, it very quickly establishes him as a FourStarBadass.
* Mario does it to some Koopas in ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ''. In the same series, when Mecha Sonic first encounters Yoshi, he does this to Yoshi. Using Yoshi's ''[[TongueTrauma tongue]]'' as the "handle."
* ''WebAnimation/ToonSandwich'': In "WebAnimation/SuperHeroBowl", the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] grabs Franchise/{{Superman}} by the ankle and subjects him to the "puny god" routine.

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': In "Why a Gorilla?", [=McNinja=] arrives at a gorilla city and immediately has to fight one of the gorillas because they're not keen on humans. He wakes up to being subjected to this trope and finally defeats the gorilla with a PressurePoint attack. All the gorillas are awed, [[MadeOfIron mainly because he'd been beaten up for an hour while unconscious]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Godslave}}'': Edith discovers she has SuperStrength when she tries to stop Turner from strangling her and instead does this.
* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'': How [[spoiler:Liquid]] defeats [[spoiler:the cyborg ninja]] for the second time ([[spoiler:after being impaled by his sword]]).

* ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo'': Cube of all beings does it to Grinner in [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-7-89 level 7-89]], with the help of Madeline's pitchfork impaled through the gnoll's hand. Rusty, Roxy and Presti, who have come to severely despise Grinner, are tremendously enjoying the show.
