* ''Film/LadyBallers'': Much of the movie is composed of physical comedy especially during the basketball scenes, with either the main characters or the people they compete with getting hurt in humorous ways. Even outside of the sports scenes, there's plenty of this, like when Rob gets tased by a receptionist and then comedically hits his head on the desk.

* As far back as the early 1930s, Thelma Todd was renowned for her skill at slapstick; in ''Film/HorseFeathers'', she falls out of a boat after being serenaded at length by Groucho Marx, and she also starred in a series of short films, first with [=ZaSu=] Pitts, then with Patsy Kelly, the best of which feature some great slapstick: in 1932's [[https://youtu.be/TsJG-MWUgmw ''Alum and Eve'']], Pitts gets jabbed in the ass with a pen and then gets stuck in a hospital trolley. Todd's attempts to extricate her turn into something reminiscent of the stateroom scene in ''Film/ANightAtTheOpera''.[[note]]Later in the same film, which turns on Pitts being mistaken for a hospital patient, two attractive female nurses attempt to undress her. Pitts retaliates by ''undressing the nurses''. [[/note]]

* The "Oh my nose!" scene from ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' features Marcia ([[CatchPhrase Marcia]], [[RuleOfThree Marcia!]]) getting struck in the nose with an errant football from when the guys are playing in the backyard. The resulting swelling drives the plot for the rest of that episode, ending with Marcia learning AnAesop about not being too self-conscious about her looks. The scene has also been parodied a few times since by other shows, including the Simspons during a Couch Gag where the family runs through the sets of a couple different classic TV shows.

* In ''Series/VousLesFemmes'', the very visual aspects of the comedy dictate that both Judith and Olivia are on the receiving end of some serious indignities, frequently. Olivia finds herself naked in a rugby team's changing room and has to bluff her way out; or else she finds herself, in a very short summer dress with a bare back, getting into a sports car where the leather seats have been exposed to a baking hot South of France sun, and having to really contort herself to minimise the discomfort. Judith might have a WardrobeMalfunction just before a job interview.
