* ''MahouSenseiNegima'', Tsukuyomi challenges Setsuna to a match of swords by removing her victorian-style glove and tossing it almost playfully at Setsuna. Setsuna merely snatches it out of the air. Later [[ClassRepresentative Ayaka]] uses this on Kuu Fei.

* Done by "[[SignificantAnagram Sir Gilles Estram]]" in the ''DoctorWho'' story "The King's Demons". Needless to say, it is one of the most {{Narm}}ful stories in the ''Doctor Who'' TV canon.

* In an episode of ''NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' Seth Powers is upset that Moze is dating Faymen. Even though they have broken up, he calls it off as "taking time off from each other". Faymen comes in, Seth challenges him for Moze's heart and honor(or something), pulls out a white glove and slaps him with it. Faymen follows suit.

* Parodied in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3luD3qdbfI&feature=channel_page Porky Pig's Feat]]", Porky and Daffy from the 1940's, where Daffy, after being slapped and challenged by another character ("You have insulted me! We meet on the field of honor! MyCard."), he returns suit ("You have insult me! We meet on the field of onion!")and slaps back with a horseshoe-stuffed glove, and then slaps him in the face with flypaper ("My Card, you cad!").
* Played with in one of the Max Fleischer {{Popeye}} cartoons, "Choose Yer Weppin", when an upper class gentleman slaps Popeye in the face with his white gloves. Popeye then takes the gloves out of the man's pocket, puts it on his hand, and then punches him square in the jaw with it.

** And he'll only accept that you are one if you can take him in a duel. And he won't duel you until you serve him proper insult. And apparently just calling him a doody-head isn't insulting enough.

* Played straight in ''{{Squire}}'' as a challenge to a jousting match, and treated as a grievous insult, so that Kel feels sufficiently provoked to take the guy up on it when she'd said she wasn't going to compete unless she had to.

* In Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast, Lumiere does this to Cogsworth at the end of the movie.

* In {{Film/Casanova}}, Giovanni tries to challenge Casanova this way but for a variety of reasons, Casanova isn't keen on the idea... until his servant forces his hand by slapping Giovanni back.

* BusterKeaton does this in "[[HardLuck]]" -- in an attempt to coax his opponent into range of a shotgun with a string tied to the trigger.

* A variant in {{Metropolis}}: when the Thin Man tries to bribe Josaphat into leaving his apartment (and letting the Thin Man meet Frieder in Josaphat's place), Josaphat picks up the bribe money and slaps the Thin Man in the face with it.

* TruthInTelevision, sort of: [[CrazyAwesome Sen. Zell Miller]] of Georgia admitted he would've liked to have done this to pundit Chris Matthews on the latter's show. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuBnlNjZq24 No, really!]]
