Basic Trope: Weapon that stuns with electricity.
- Straight: Bob gets tased and passes out.
- Exaggerated: Bob gets tased and passes out snoring.
- Downplayed: Bob gets tased and falls to the ground, but he isn't unconscious; just groggy.

- Inverted: Bob is asleep and wakes up when he gets tased.
- Subverted: Bob gets tased and passes out, but it turns out he was just pretending to be unconscious.
- Double Subverted: The person who tased him realizes they didn't use enough electricity and sets the taser to a higher voltage, then tases him again — this time he passes out for real.
- Parodied: Knocking the suspect out with a taser before approaching them is standard police procedure.
