->''"Note the Deadlock collar securely fastened around your neck. This collar cannot be broken or removed. Should you stray into any restricted area, the collar will administer an extremely'' '''''painful''''' ''shock."''
-->-- '''Gleeman Vox''' to Ratchet, ''VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked''

The concept of a Shock Collar is simple: A character is forced to wear a SlaveCollar or torc and when they do something undesirable, as designated by whomever put the collar on them, they are administered a shock. Such things exist in real life for dogs, but it is more likely that the trope is in use as a way to replicate the iron slave collar with a SpeculativeFiction twist.

How it actually works is nearly always undefined. It's a metal ring, it hurts, end of statement. Sometimes it is electricity for some ElectricTorture, sometimes it's a generic AgonyBeam generated by some alien {{technobabble}} or {{dark magic}}. It makes a good RestrainingBolt for the plot, you can even spin some plot lines out of how to get it off (especially if it's designed to go off automatically if tampered with), and sometimes it'll have the added feature of being able to be pumped up to deadly levels so that it can also be, effectively, an ExplosiveLeash. On other occasions, expect some fun with Pavlovian conditioning.

!!Examples:

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* In ''Anime/CaptainEarth'', Daichi, Teppei, and Hana are briefly forced to wear "lead gear", a headset-like device that causes them pain if they try to venture too far from the military base where they're quartered, or at the press of a switch. Daichi braves his way out of the perimeter, summons his Livlaster, and blows the broadcast antenna away.
* In the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea Arc" in ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', several of Biagio Busoni's enslaved nuns are [[GoGoEnslavement forced to wear enchanted clothing]] that causes them incredible pain if they try to escape or use magic. Sisters Lucia and Angeline manage to modify their clothes to power up their magic instead, but they still experience pain when they get out. Touma's [[AntiMagic Imagine Breaker]] is used to destroy them.
* In ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'', [[AbusiveParent Paragus]] uses one as a RestrainingBolt to Broly, shocking him if he acts out of line. Cheelai sees this as unfair treatment and manages to steal the remote for the collar. When Broly is forced to act without threat of being shocked, [[TheBerserker that's when he really cuts loose]].
* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheIslandOfMiraclesAnimalAdventure'' have it's villains, a group of {{Evil Poacher}}s, enslaving animals from the titular ExtinctAnimalPark using these collars, one of their ranks being a vicious giant moa.
* ''Manga/InuYasha'' has a collar of enchanted prayer beads (or rosary) designed to make him hit the ground whenever Kagome says "Osuwari" or "Sit" / "Sit, boy". Kagome is an easily pissed off {{Tsundere}} Type B. Bad day for [=InuYasha=].
* ''Anime/MyDaemon'': Most Daemon experts control their Daemons through one of these. They have them wear special colars with which they can administer a painfull electric shock. In an attempt to attract less attention, Kento has Anna wear a broken collar so people will think he is in control of her.
* The Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga clan in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' works this way, in addition to sealing off the Byakugan after the wearer's death. With a single gesture, a main branch member can cause agonizing pain to a branch member who even ''seems'' to be acting out of line.
* This happened in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' to the girls under slavery in the magical world.
* In ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', slaves are marked on the chest with a magical brand that binds them to the will of their master. If they try to disobey orders or even ''lie'' when they're asked a question, it shocks them. [[spoiler:In the anime and manga, this is ''weaponized'' during the trial against notorious CompulsiveLiar Malty S. Melromarc, whose FalseRapeAccusation against Naofumi kicked off the plot and led to much grief for him, the Slave Crest zapping her every time she told one of her lies and revealing more and more truth against her will, leading to his exoneration.]]
* In ''Anime/{{Slayers}}'', captured Lina Inverse was restrained by a circlet that zapped her when she tried to use magic. They really haven't a slightest idea what [[AloofBigBrother her big sister]] used to [[GoodIsNotNice put her through]], however...
* ''Manga/YuGiOhOCGStories'': Zard kept Azalea and Camellia under control by injecting them with {{Nanomachines}} that allow him to shock them at will. [[spoiler:Azalea manages to disable her nanobots and defeat Zard, but then uses the control to enslave Camellia in turn.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* 1980's British ''ComicBook/{{Starblazer}}''.
** The Slave Collar had variable pain settings to punish wearers who disobeyed their owner.
** Issue 157 "Warworld", The Valk put headbands on their prisoners that can inflict any level of pain on their victims, up to and including death.
* The more villainous members of DC's ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'' were fitted with these on missions. If they got ''too'' out of line, the collar could also be commanded to [[ExplosiveLeash blow off their heads]].
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': The Sangtee Empire's slave collars can deliver a painful potentially fatal shock over extended or brief periods.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* There was a series of ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' strips where the employees all had to wear headbands that the boss could use to shock them at will. Dilbert reprogrammed his to redirect its signal to Wally.
* In one ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' comic, Jeremy's mother forces him to wear a shock collar to stay at home after he breaks curfew one time too many.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/BloodAndHonor'': Vette is fitted with one when she's turned over to the authorities on Korriban. Her jailer makes use of it when she gets mouthy, which is all the time, so she ends up in a fair amount of pain. Sanguis, on the other hand, though given the controller, never uses it or even threatens to. When they leave Korriban, the collar is removed.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheGreatRedPandaRescue'', Mei is kidnapped and fitted with one of these.
* Present Mic is fitted with one in the ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27853170/chapters/68194306 Pulse and Void]]'' as extra insurance against his SuperScream, along with the muzzle that actually gets welded onto his face. It’s meant to discourage him yelling when it isn’t wanted but since it’s always on, the times he is made to scream make it go off and the flesh beneath is bright red, blistered and outright charred black when it’s finally cut off him.
* In ''Fanfic/StarWarsTheSithZero'' Louise is outfitted with one during her time as a Slave to the Sith Empire.
* Qui-Gon and Obi Wan are taken prisoner and given them in another ''Franchise/StarWars'' fic, “[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/151496/ Marionettes Dance]]”.
* Used in ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'' as a preventive measure to keep some prisoners under control, along with chakra-dampening bracelets. These can be activated with a hand seal.
* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/659590/chapters/1202775 This fanfic]] shows [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Eridan]] being put in a shock collar to stop him swearing. Unfortunately, said collar was made by [[PureIsNotGood Equius]], and so it sets off at "darn". Eridan eventually resorts to "Goodness, you've cracked my skull!"
* ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'': After reconstructing the FemBot Dyna, MadScientist Ratchet places a crown-like array on her head that he can remotely trigger to deliver painful jolts of electricity, effectively torturing her into obeying him. Ranma's willingness to risk his own life to free her from it instead of taking the expedient route and just destroying her is why Dyna chooses to join Ranma's crew, the Kamikaze Pirates.
* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': In one story, Haara and three other slaves are kidnapped by an unscrupulous platoon of soldiers to use as bartering chips while negotiating an enemy fortress' surrender. She and the others are locked in these to ensure they don't try to escape while performing their 'duties' within the foreign camp.

[[folder:Films — Animated]]
* Cartman has a V-chip implanted in his skull by Sheila Broflovski in ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut''. It sends out an electric jolt when he swears, in an effort to make him stop swearing. It, for the most part, doesn't work; towards the end of the movie, it even turns into a DeusExMachina when the chip shorts out and Cartman gains cuss-powered [[ShockAndawe lightning powers]] as a result.
* [[WhatCouldHaveBeen An early draft]] of ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' was set in a society in which the predators had to wear collars that would administer an electric shock if they got too excited, which was supposedly necessary to keep them from eating the prey animals. The creators found this to be too dark, and ended up dropping it as part of a massive overhaul of the entire concept and plot.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
* The prisoners in ''Film/BreathingRoom'' are all wearing Shock Collars which are rigged to deliver a deadly voltage if they try to leave the room.
* In ''Film/{{Coneheads}}'', the two humans are carted off to the Conehead homeworld and kept in check by a collar with glowy red lights.
* In ''Film/CrankHighVoltage'', Chev Chelios encounters two assholes that are torturing a dog with a shock collar even though it was obeying their commands. Chev tells them off, takes the collar, and puts it on himself. He then makes them shock him to power up his artificial heart.
* ''Film/FutureWorld2018'': Big Daddy Love Lord's sex slaves all wear collars like this which can be triggered if they do something he doesn't like (or to amuse a customer).
* At the end of the film ''Film/{{Garfield}}'', the main character steals a shock collar from the dog catcher. The collar is later strapped onto the dog catcher and used by Garfield for some good old LaserGuidedKarma.
* The hero (well, ''protagonist'') in ''Film/HellComesToFrogtown'' is outfitted with a remote-controlled chastity belt that can deliver painful electrical shocks [[GroinAttack straight to his testicles]] in order to ensure he ''only'' has sex with the women he is supposed.
* In ''Film/TheIslandOfDrMoreau1996'', all of the beast-folk have an implant that causes them excruciating pain when a remote control is triggered. This system of keeping them in check backfires when the Hyena-Swine figures this out and removes his own implant, then steals the control device to use it to dominate the others.
* ''Film/SavingSilverman'' used this as a form of aversion therapy - if Darren mentioned his late-girlfriend on a date, he'd get zapped by the stickers on his nipples.
* ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Slaves--[[InsistentTerminology "prisoners with jobs"]] on Sakaar have small obedience discs attached to their necks that release a powerful neurotoxin causing convulsions if they get out of line.
* ''Film/VirtualCombat'': A CorruptCorporateExecutive whose company sells virtual reality sex programs discovers a way to download the virtual girls into artificial clone bodies. He also forces them to wear electric collars to better control them.

[[folder:Gamebooks]]
* ''Literature/CavernsOfTheSnowWitch'' has the [[BigBad Snow Witch]] fit collars onto her slaves, so that when they disobey her orders, they get choked.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* {{Yaoi|genre}} series ''Literature/AiNoKusabi'''s plot revolves around how BadassBiker Riki was made into a SexSlave by [[FetishizedAbuser Iason Mink]]. Each "Pet" gets an identity ring in the standard form of jewelry like earrings, necklaces and such. Iason uniquely makes Riki's a cock ring which doubles as a RestrainingBolt Shock Collar whenever Riki rebels. Which is often.
* Creator/JimButcher's ''Literature/CodexAlera'' has slave collars that will hurt the slave if they disobey or go against the master's will (to the extent that calling the person "bad" for no reason will hurt them) and send signals of pleasure when the person obeys. They often drive the victim completely insane, and it's played for every possible drop of horror.
* Voluntary example: In the ''Literature/DreamPark'' series, Gamers wear remote-control amulets that deliver a mild electrical stimulus to inform them that they've been killed out of a scenario. The initial shock is merely uncomfortable, but if a player stubbornly refuses to lie down and "die" when the simulation demands it, the voltage can be increased to inflict actual pain. (Presumably they're required to sign a release to allow this.)
* ''Literature/HanSolosRevenge'': The Lurrian slaves captured by Magg and Zlarb are chained together, the collars acting as Shock Collars: the slavers can hit the whole string at once in an emergency.
* The ''Literature/MichaelVey'' series introduces Dr. Hatch (leader of the Elgen company) who enslaves what he terms "the scum of society" (drug addicts, hardcore criminals, etc) by making them a tempting offer. Once they accept, a shock collar is placed around their necks and Hatch jolts them with electricity if they disobey.
* A similar device is used in ''Literature/ParableOfTheSower'' and its sequel, by slavers to keep their slaves in line. Lauren and her community also have these put on them when they are attacked and captured in the second book.
* in ''Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures'' when captured Rolas is given one that triggers if he goes through his cell's door (but not the vents) without the Red Vixen's permission, or if he gets more than five meters away from her when she takes him for a "walk." Ali is fitted with an ankle bracelet that does something similar when she's arrested.
* In Harry Harrison's ''[[Literature/TheStainlessSteelRat The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge]]'' [[note]]and ''The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You,''[[/note]] the Grey Men attach one to James ("Slippery Jim") diGriz, connected by a cable to a control box. It inflicts searing pain by [[TechnoBabble stimulating neurons]] in the brain.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Human slaves in Pylea wear these on ''Series/{{Angel}}''.
* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
** When the captain of Babylon Five, John Sheridan, found himself captured by the Earth government, who had recently given themselves a little ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]]'' ShoutOut by setting up the Ministry of Peace, he had a Shock Collar put in place as a RestrainingBolt to explain [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim why he didn't just attack]] the torturer who was trying to make him [[strike: [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration see four lights]]]] sign a confession.
** A torturer/assassin makes G'Kar wear one. One of his political enemies on the Kah'Ree had just died, and wished to exact revenge.
* These collars are worn by the imprisoned women in the "Gladiatrix" episode of ''Series/BirdsOfPrey2002''. It also drugged them to the point of insanity.
* In an episode of ''Series/BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury'', Princess Ardala tells Buck that, when he marries her (due to her holding Earth hostage with an invincible KillSat), she will have him fitted with a lovely, decorative choke collar. If he displeases her, the collar will gradually constrict until he dies.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E11BoomTown "Boom Town"]], Jack Harkness loans the Doctor a pair of bracelets designed to shock one of the wearers if they get too far from the person wearing the other one so he can take their evil alien prisoner out for a last meal.
* Chiana is wearing one of these when she first appears on ''Series/{{Farscape}}'', activated by a button on her handler's forehead. In another episode, the entire crew is fitted with collars- even Pilot.
* The prison where Polaris and other mutants are held in ''Series/TheGifted2017'' uses shock collars to inhibit the mutants' ability to use their powers.
* In the mini-series ''Series/HouseOfFrankenstein1997'' a vampire tries to control the title character with one of these. The next thing the audience sees is Frankenstein's monster ripping off the collar after impaling said vampire.
-->"They were fools to think they could control ''me'' with electricity."
* Lily gets the idea of Barney having to wear one (or rather, a cock shock ring) to get him to behave in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''.
* The shock collar comes up from time to time on the dog-training show ''Series/ItsMeOrTheDog'' with owners who use these to try to correct their dog's behavior. These are unnaceptable for host Victoria Stillwell, who feels that they are basically akin to torture and not a genuine way of properly training a dog. Anytime she encounters somebody using one, she will immediately call them out for it and put an end to it.
* In ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', Joe Gibken was forced to wear one that doubled as a tracker when he escaped from the Zangyack empire, but only activated if he tried to remove it.

* In an episode of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', Al Bundy had to wear one.
* Creator/DavidCross has to wear one of these at the beginning of the second episode of ''Series/MrShow'', as part of a government program monitoring artists. He gets a constant electric shock if he stands on a stage.
* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'':
** The aliens in the episode "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S4E8RiteOfPassage Rite of Passage]]" put shock wristbands on the humans they were raising to prevent them from trying to leave their enclosure. It wasn't due to malice; the woods were full of dangerous creatures.
** "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E4TheGrell The Grell]]" from the episode of the same name are a race of RubberForeheadAliens who were enslaved by humans. They all wear shock collars that electrocute them if they disobey their masters.
** In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S5E19Stranded Stranded]]", Tyr'Nar is wearing a security anklet which was placed on him when he was captured by a bounty hunter from his planet. It prevents him from leaving the confines of the bounty hunter's ship, giving him an electric shock if he gets too close to the exit. When the ship crashlands on Earth (having been sabotaged by Tyr'Nar), he enlists the help of Kevin Buchanan in his attempts to remove it. He is eventually able to do so using a hacksaw and a blowtorch belonging to Kevin's father Alex.
* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'':
** In Season 3, Root wears a device on her ankle implied to do this if she tries to break out of the Faraday cage Finch has her imprisoned in.
** In "[[Recap/PersonOfInterestS03E13 4C]]", Reese is stuck on an airplane with the VictimOfTheWeek whom he finds rather annoying. Turns out he's wearing a shock belt, so Reese has a lot of fun with the remote [[PerpSweating until he gets the information he wants]]. Then Reese hands the remote to the stewardess, telling her that it's his beeper and that [[ComedicSociopathy she should 'alert' him if the POI gets out of his seat]].
* The beginning of the ''Series/{{Sliders}}'' episode "In Dino Veritas" is set in a world where all people wear shock collars that prevent them from lying.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' had two episodes with collars that inflicted pain:
** "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E16TheGamestersOfTriskelion The Gamesters of Triskelion]]": Used by the title characters on their thralls.
** "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E1SpocksBrain Spock's Brain]]": Belts used by the Eymorg women on their male slaves and the captured Enterprise crew members.
* Both ''Series/TwinPeaks'' and ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' used the gag in which the wearer of the collar gets hold of its control box and uses it in the mistaken belief that it will shock the other person instead of himself.
* One clip on ''Series/WorldsDumbest'' has a couple guys taking turns wearing a shock collar that's meant to curtail a dog's barking and shocking themselves. Naturally, Danny Bonaduce has to try it himself with a collar that's meant for a ''Rottweiler''.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate II'' has one trippy level where you follow a band of kidnapped actors into a PocketDimension where the slaves are kept in line by a magical version of these collars. If you're [[SchmuckBait schmuck enough to fall for the bait]], you can pick them up and try them on.
* In a case of Shock Collars being used for good, in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' the inmates have shock collars (dubbed "Suicide Collars") that double as life sign monitors. We see them demonstrated at the beginning as the only thing that can help keep Killer Croc under control in a ChekhovsGun moment.
** A bit more of a straight use of this trope occurs in the game as well, since ComicBook/TheJoker uses them to keep tabs on his goons (and as an alert system to where Batman is or has been) [[FridgeBrilliance and presumably also uses them when they get too out of line]]. Batman can also overload the collars with a specialized batarang so that they shock the goon wearing it into unconsciousness.
* In ''VideoGame/DCUniverseOnline'', your character is outfitted with one of these in instances where you form an EnemyMine with players of the opposite faction.
* ''VideoGame/DungeonSiege II'' had your character wearing one near the start, after being captured by dryads.
* In ''VideoGame/EnslavedOdysseyToTheWest'' a slavers' headband is the (initial) reason Monkey goes along with Trip in the plot; in the gameplay it also provides a reason to keep the player character close to Trip at times with the headband programmed to deliver painful shocks that eventually kill you if you wander too far from her.
* In contrast to the [[ExplosiveLeash exploding slave collars]] in ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' (specifically, the ''Nuka-World'' DLC expansion) features shock collars, used by the Nuka-World raiders on the hapless traders and settlers they've enslaved. If you side with the raiders, one of the [[SideQuest radiant quests]] is to find randomly selected [=NPC=]s and place a shock collar on them. You can equip one yourself, but it doesn't do anything, considering that by the time you can get one, you've been designated the Overboss of the raider gangs.
* The ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' [[WebGames Web Game]] has the Stab Bat, a familiar with the unfortunate habit of stabbing the player rather than the enemy every now and then. The familiar-specific equipment is, appropriately enough, a Shock Collar.
* In ''VideoGame/MOTHER3'', Salsa the monkey has a Shock Collar that is used by Fassad to punish him. Fassad also activates it after Salsa finishes jobs for him, because he's that much of a BadBoss.
* The page quote comes from ''VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked'' -- all participants in the Dreadzone reality show are forced to wear Deadlock collars in order to make them comply. If a contestant becomes uncooperative or goes somewhere they aren't meant to be, the collar can be activated to electrocute them. And in more extreme cases, they can also [[YourHeadASplode be detonated]].
* In ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', slave girl Vette has one that the Sith Warrior can choose to abuse. However, you can also remove it for VideoGameCaringPotential.
* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', Thok the Bloodthirsty, a devilsaur ([[CallARabbitASmeerp a T-rex]]) that's a boss in the Siege of Orgrimmar raid, has a shock collar by the orcs that are trying to tame him as a beast of war. Unfortunately, the shock collar ends up causing damage ''to the players'' during the fight by zapping them with electricity.

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfGynoStar'': Supervillain Vlad Deferens tries to use a shock collar to make Gyno-Star compliant and obedient.
* A rarely seen function of the iKnow in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'', [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/08/23/obedience/ as Zenith demonstrates on Fortiscue when he questions her plans.]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', the [[WellIntentionedExtremist Grey Cult]] uses magical shock collars donated by the [[ReligionOfEvil Totenkopfs]] to force captured demons to work in the cult's army as foot soldiers against the cult's enemies...but once a spell ends up disabling the collars, the once enslaved demons lash out horribly and turn against their "masters". It later turns out that the Totenkopfs only used the cult for their own ends to help further test the collars' effectiveness. Once they make some adjustments, they force a few captured higher demons to wear the new, modified collars which will force the demons to work as their more or less loyal minions and use these new lackeys to infiltrate demon hordes so that the Totenkopfs can learn the demons' weaknesses.
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': [[spoiler: Cinder]] was forced to wear one as a child by their [[spoiler:"[[AbusiveParents step-mother]]"]], which they were quite liberal in the use of. To make it even more twisted, it's disguised to look like an ornate necklace, but closer inspection reveals the "jewel" in the center is actually a [[AppliedPhlebotinum Lightning Dust crystal]]. Eventually, [[spoiler: Cinder developed a resistance to the pain after having endured it so many times]]. You can guess [[TheDogBitesBack what happened next]].

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Lemongrab has his subjects wear them in the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "Too Old", [[spoiler:until they are deactivated by Lemongrab 2]].

* The ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' episode "Clum Babies" has a gag where Foxxy shocks Clara with a collar when she makes a racist remark.
-->'''Foxxy:''' Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.\\
'''Clara:''' Oh, so it's okay when ''you'' say it. ''(gets shocked)''
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "Wish Fixers", the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Pixies]] make Timmy sign a contract that would supposedly help him get rid of any "bad" wishes and put collars on Cosmo and Wanda that release an electric shock every time they grant a wish that is considered "bad". In fact, the only good wish on the contract is handing Fairy World over to the Pixies. However, thanks to a loophole in the contract (making an irresponsible wish that is at the same time responsible will cause the contract to be null and void), Timmy wishes for both his godparents to be made of rubber, making them immune to the shocks and nullifying the contract as a result.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'s'' third movie, ''Bender's Game'', Leela gets a shock collar to condition her to give up violence and profanity and all that other fun stuff. She learns to associate the shocks with pleasure.
* Worn by Shego's subjects in her future dystopia in ''[[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time]]''.
* Task Force X from ''WesternAnimation/MyAdventuresWithSuperman'' [[BoxedCrook conscripts the criminals]] that stole their weaponry in the latter half of the season to their war on Superman and employ shock collars to keep them in line.

** In "The Great Louse Detective", Sideshow Bob had something similar, a Shock Bracelet RestrainingBolt, so the Simpsons can keep him under control as he was recruited by the police to uncover who is trying to kill Homer Simpson.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'':
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E6TheAcademy "The Academy"]] provides the page image, when corrupt Mandalorian Prime Minister Almec gets stuck in the shock collar he'd threatened to put on Duchess Satine's nephew.

Everyone but Scott, who won the first part, gets a tracking collar to make things easier for Chef. As an anti-removal feature, the tracking collars send out a strong shock whenever they're pulled on, although Zoey gets shocked either for having negative emotions or because hers malfunctions. Cameron manages to use his wristwatch to hack his collar open and also helps out Lightning in return for his help getting to the finish. Zoey finishes the challenge with the collar on.
** For the Truth-or-Scare contest in "[[Recap/TotalDramaILoveYouILoveYouKnots I Love You, I Love You Knots]]", the campers get outfitted with shock collars. Any time someone fails their assigned truth or scare, they and their entire team incur a strong shock. Rodney gets a lot of truths and fails all of them, causing the Pimâpotew Kinosewak to resent him for the pain he puts them through. On top of that, he loses the tie-breaker and because he insulted Clucky earlier, the chicken goes ape on the controller to the Pimâpotew Kinosewak' collars. Rodney gets voted off that evening.
* The inhibitor collars in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', designed primarily to nullify superpowers, also contain this feature as they are used primarily on dangerous convicts and slaves.
