* In a quite epic example in ''Manga/{{Bankara}}'', Gouda Takeru is condemned to "an eternity of standing in the hall", with the buckets chained to his hands and encased in a block of ice. [[http://mangastream.com/read/one_shot/83408553/8 See here]]

** In "[[Recap/BoBoiBoyS2E4FootballFight Football Fight!]]", after the Fang and his team of bad guys lose the football match, Papa Zola is angry that one of the goals had been burned through by Probe's kick earlier. He reports them to the disciplinary teacher/vice principal, who has them stand in the hall while holding buckets in each hand (which Adu Du thinks is ridiculous since they're not students).

* To deal with a certain EvilTwin CloningBlues scenario in ''Anime/AngelBeats'', SSS members are told to attend class but do anything to not pay attention (ItMakesSenseInContext). The hijinks they do range from listening to music, drawing random stuff, and for [[AxCrazy Noda]], spinning his halberd with one arm outside the window. What does resident CloudCuckooLander Yui do? Why, StandingInTheHall of course (with a third water bucket on top of her head)!

* In ''Anime/KOn'', the four members of the club who are in Yamanaka's class are discussing via passed notes the upcoming wedding that an old club member wants them to convince Yamanaka to play for with the rest of the old band. Ritsu makes Mio crack up with a picture, causing Yamanaka to catch her. Tsumugi, wanting to fulfill a dream of hers, stands up to take the fall, but all four of them get sent to stand in the hallway, so it kills two birds with one stone by providing them a place to continue their conversation without so much fear of being caught.

* In the second episode of ''Anime/IsekaiQuartet'', this happens to [[LightNovel/KonoSuba Aqua]], who got caught attacking [[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Ainz' group]]. Two episodes later, it happens to Kazuma and [[LightNovel/ReZero Subaru]] for arriving late.

* Nobi Nobita from ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' gets punished this way many times either because he comes to school late, forgets to do his homework, failing his tests, or falls asleep in class.

* In ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'', Yukko Aioi often ends up here due to either forgetting her homework, or a classroom disruption. One memorable instance of this had her witness a wild brawl between the principal and a deer while standing there; when she frantically rushes back into the classroom to tell what she saw, she decides against it out of fear that nobody would believe her and gets sent back out with two buckets this time.

* The British comedy sketch show Laugh Out Loud had this in a skit, where someone threw a ball of paper at the teacher who immediately sent the class clown (as in, an actual clown) out into the hallway. We see a follow-up skit to the above where ''another'' clown is sent out into the hallway as well!

* ''Fanfic/{{Control}}'': Just two weeks into her first year of high school, Yukari caused a scandal when she splashed the vice principal with water (with some rumors even claiming [[GossipEvolution it was bleach or ammonia]]). What actually happened was she was holding buckets for sleeping in class, fell asleep standing up, and accidentally splashed the vice principal when he woke her up. Yukari ended up meeting Nyamo due to that incident.

* 7 minutes into the 11th episode of the 1982 anime series Manga/TokimekiTonight, the main character Ranze Eto has to hold 1 bucket (due to being a girl) and her love interest Shun Makabe has to hold 2 buckets (due to being a boy) after they are both late for school discussing the upcoming birthday party of Ranze's brother Rinze which Shun was planning to attend. Ranze reflects to Shun's friend later (who offers to hold the bucket for her if it happened again) that she doesn't feel any discomfort due to being in Shun's presence.

* An episode of ''Anime/DragonballZ'' featured Gohan punished in this manner, although the joke was at the time he was secretly one of the strongest people on earth. Indeed, he accidentally spills one when he does the HandBehindHead gesture out of habit, showing that the bucket didn't weigh a thing to him.

** In the last volumes of the original manga ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', Negi (officially) becomes too busy with extra-school activities, so [[spoiler:his former enemy Fate]] starts to substitute him as a teacher. This substitute turns out to be a SternTeacher (although a [[TheSpock calm and collected]] type), and in one moment he uses this trope on two students who were talking during the class.

* Usagi of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' was sent out to the hall in the first episode and a time or two since. It was implied she spends a lot of time there, to say nothing of [[RealityEnsues the damage it ends up doing to her grades (her own teacher singled it out as the reason why she keeps failing her tests)]].

* Nobi Nobita from ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}'' gets punished this way many times either because he comes to school late, forgets to do his homework, or falls asleep in class.

* ''Heaven Help Us'' has Catholic-school students who have to kneel on the floor with their arms out, balancing heavy books.

* Variation in the Chinese series ''My Little Princess (亲爱的公主病)'', set at a school for the arts: the extremely strict piano teacher punishes anyone who gets any notes wrong in their recitation by having them stand holding a bucket of water in front of them, but at the front of the class instead of in the hall. When Lin Xin Chen arrives late, there are already half a dozen students so afflicted. She makes a bet with the professor that if she plays any song of his choosing perfectly, he'll end this form of punishment. (He tries to accue her of getting notes wrong, but another student argues she followed the composer's intent rather than the modern sheet music.)

* In ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'', Yukko often ends up here due to either forgetting her homework, or a classroom disruption.

* Lloyd in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', while not in the hall (he's in the back of the classroom in a one-room school), is holding buckets of water at the beginning of the game. In fact, the game starts with Lloyd getting an eraser thrown at his head becasue [[GoodMorningCrono he fell asleep while doing this]]. Hilariously enough, he hadn't put the buckets down while he was asleep, either. They were still a good three inches off the ground while he was snoozing.

* In the 1930s silent film ''Umarete Wa Mita Keredo'' one of the boys has to stand in the hallway after bringing a sparrow's egg to school. He [[RawEggsMakeYouStronger drank it to prove how tough he was]].

* In the second episode of ''Anime/IsekaiQuartet'', this happens to [[LightNovel/KonoSuba Aqua]], who got caught attacking [[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Ainz' group.]]
