* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': There's a picture of Batman slapping his protege Robin in mid-conversation. Taken from ''ComicBook/WorldsFinest'' #153, published in 1965, the single-panel illustration has inspired [[MemeticMutation a series of parodies]] featuring custom-captioned speech bubbles on 4chan, Reddit and elsewhere since 2008, explained with details by WebSite/KnowYourMeme [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-parents-are-dead-batman-slapping-robin here]].

* [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]], about to be court martialed and removed from ComicBook/TheAvengers for his unprovoked attack against Elfqueen, was creating an undefeatable robot to attack the team. The robot would only be vulnerable to his stings, [[EngineeredHeroics allowing him to seemingly "save the day"]]. His wife Janet, the Wasp, tried to make him give up the idea, but Hank, already suffering from a host of issues, hauled off and slapped Janet in what has come down as [[NeverLiveItDown his most infamous act]] before continuing with the plan. It worked awfully and everything came to light. Hank was removed from the team, and Janet divorced him. These actions resulted in Hank Pym's fall from grace as a superhero.

* There's a picture of Franchise/{{Batman}} slapping his protege Comicbook/{{Robin}} in mid-conversation.

* During the climax of ''ComicBook/TheReturnOfBarryAllen'', ComicBook/WallyWest backhands Eobard Thawne in this manner while issuing a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to him (Thawne had been masquerading as a revived Barry Allen, who was dead at the time).

* Maomao of ''Literature/TheApothecaryDiaries'' does this to one of Consort Lihua's handmaids upon finding out that she is still using lead face powder on their mistress despite it being banned from the palace for being poisonous.

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': In the fight between Angewomon and [=LadyDevimon=], the two engage in a cat fight where they slapped each other hard repeatedly. The Chosen Children were a bit perturbed by the sight (though Hikari was cheering for Angewomon to slap the shit out of [=LadyDevimon=]).

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Tiegs For Two", Brian and Quagmire get into a furious brawl after their arch rivalry reaches a boiling point. While both are slugging each other, Quagmire gets in one of these to demonstrate his exceptional hatred of Brian.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': [[MakingASplash Downpour]] attempts to [[ShootingSuperman blow out Aquaman with a torrent of water]]. After Aquaman points out this folly[[note]]"King of the seas, remember?"[[/note]] Downpour rushes him with a few punches that do [[NoSell absolutely nothing]] to the far more physically powerful Aquaman - After an OhCrap from Downpour, Aquaman finishes the fight by way of this trope; a bitchslap so hard it knocks Downpour out cold.

* Superman in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite'' does a couple of these to Manchester Black after depowering him, leading Black to think Superman is about to kill him.
* In the first sequel of ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess'', BigBad Clavius violently slaps his henchman [[TheDragon Knuckles]] for having failed to kill Prince Derek with his traps. While Knuckles is much younger and bulkier than his boss, it is heavily implied the latter [[AbusiveParents raised the former this way]], so it is kinda [[JustifiedTrope justified]] to see a [[DumbMuscle brawny fully grown man]] covering and shivering in front of an old and still powerless villain.

* [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Jaime Lannister]] gets pretty good at doing this after [[spoiler: losing his sword hand and having it replaced with a prosthetic made of gold.]] One particular example is when he strikes Red Ronnet Connington in the mouth for mocking [[BrawnHilda Brienne of Tarth]].
* In both the novel and movie for ''Literature/GoneWithTheWind'', Scarlett slaps one of her slaves, Prissy, when the latter lies to her about being able to help with childbirth and for generally being a useless brat. Considering that Prissy is one of the most hated characters in the book/film for being TheLoad and an EthnicScrappy, many in the audience cheered when Scarlett slapped her.
* Bridget from ''Literature/PlanetEarthIsBlue'' decided to run away after a fight with her and Nova's last foster mother, in which the foster mother slapped Bridget in the face.

* In ''Literature/OrangeCloudsBlueSky'', Skye accuses her mom of putting her lying, parasitic "friends" ahead of her family. Mom slaps her in the face.

* Marine Houshou of ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'' became a little infamous for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfC21ksAUzM a short video she released in 2021]] that consisted of her on the receiving end of these before tearing up and running off. The general audience reaction was of confusion and concern, to which Marine quickly responded by saying it was ''meant'' to be [[CasualKink more kinky in nature]] (Marine being well-known as Hololive's resident LoveableSexManiac who [[TheTease proudly teases her fanbase]]), but she messed up as presenting the slap out of context made people less aroused and more worried for her safety. She followed up with a handful of sequel skits spoofing the incident, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q_zT7bi5Go the first sequel]] showing [[TooKinkyToTorture the act is very much consensual]].
