* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'', Shiro Amada rips off his own Gundam's disabled arm and uses it as a club. This move is one of the Gundam's most iconic moments (along with its WorfBarrage) and can be re-created in the ''VideoGame/GundamVsSeries'' (though there it shoves the arm back onto its elbow for continued use).

** During [[Characters/ShazamMarvelFamily Mary Marvel]]'s FaceHeelTurn in ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'', she lays the beatdown on [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]] with [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Kyle Rayner]].

* A [[WartimeCartoon WWII-era]] ''Cat-Man'' featured the eponymous hero [[http://www.superdickery.com/more-cat-man/ beating up a German soldier with a Japanese one]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', when Brock Samson's hands were wrapped in bandages and a pirate was doing an anal cavity search to find his boat key (ItsALongStory), Brock clenched his ass, locking the pirate's arm in place, and swung him like a club to knock out him and his partner.

* A common theme in men's adventure pulp magazines from the 1950s feature cover stories of attacks by vicious animals -- one titled "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" showed a guy brandishing a weasel to club away at a swarm of weasels. This was also used for a swarm of monkeys, flying squirrels(!), etc.

* Occurs in the ''WebAnimation/DickFigures'' episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc-d-2oPCvU&feature=showob Kung Fu Winners]]. Red tears off a ninja's leg to use in his fight against the rest of the ninjas. Later, he uses Blue as a human shield against a table flung at him by the big bad before, in turn, flinging him at the big bad.

** In "Little Dude", a candy person possessed by Finn's animated hat becomes super-strong and starts throwing a gummy horse around.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': [[Characters/SpongebobSquarepantsPatrickStar Patrick]] does this ''to himself'' while throwing a fake fight to help [=SpongeBob=] gain admission to the Salty Spittoon.

** In ''ComicBook/SupermanVsTheAmazingSpiderMan'', [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]] manages to grab Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}} and smash him into [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Spider-Man]] at one point during the final confrontation.

** One of their trademark attacks is the "FastballSpecial", where [[Characters/XMen70sMembers Colossus]] throws Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}, claws outstretched, at the enemy. Other characters have done it too and called it such; at least once Nocturne possessed somebody in this manner.
** [[TheComicallySerious For a character not known for his sense of humor]], Colossus once cut short an argument with Characters/{{Emma Frost|WhiteQueen}} by throwing her diamond body at a villain, taking to heart [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]]' advice to do something unexpected.

** Typical Frank Castle:

** When fighting The Russian, [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Spider-Man]] tries to get involved, and gets effortlessly tossed aside for his troubles. Punisher uses the unconscious Spider-Man to help throw the Russian off the Empire State Building.

* Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}} once threw Alani a.k.a. [[Characters/NewXMenAcademyX Loa]] at a bunch of BackFromTheDead zombie Acolytes. This trope is [[https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/14/143741/2914780-xforceannual1loahasseri.jpg quite effective because Alani has the power to dissolve matter on contact.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' [[Characters/IncredibleHulkBruceBanner The Hulk]] uses '''''The Everlovin', Blue-Eyed [[Characters/TheThing Thing]]''''' as a club to defeat Doombots!

* The ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' story ''Fanfic/AlongCameASpider'' has a battle between the Wolves and the Ghost Bears devolve to a battle between their Khans, Ulric in a [[LightningBruiser Gladiator]] versus Alethia in a [[FragileSpeedster Firemoth]]. The Ghost Bear’s Khan was [[DeathOfAThousanCuts taking Ulric’s ‘Mech apart a piece at a time]], severing the arm that carried the majority of his firepower. When she went in for the kill, he swung at her, but Alethia dodged just out of range of his fist… but not the severed arm he picked up. He proceeded to [[GoombaStomp crush her cockpit]], killing her and destroying the Ghost Bears’ morale.

* In ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', Canadian goddess Snowbird killed the Skrull god [[PunctuationShaker Kly'bn]] with the spine of the slain [[EldritchAbomination Demogorge]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'', the Titans are watching footage of the AxCrazy villain Gadjo's early known career. We don't see or hear much of it, but at one point he's apparently "whaling on zombies ''with'' a zombie".

** The BloodKnight Hisoka has the ability give his BattleAura the properties of rubber and gum. In one fight he uses it to grab a dozen of people, [[BodyHorror mashes them into a huge makeshift mace]] and utilises this to defend himself from a ZergRush.

* In ''Webcomic/TheHammer2022'', Tiny's favorite method of attack when unarmed is to grab a {{Mook|s}} and use them as a club against the other mooks. Given his superior SuperStrength from his Mana Body technique, he's able to swing grown men around like clubs and throw them as projectiles. The poor victims usually have bones in their legs broken at the very least.
-->'''Tiny:''' ''[after being mocked for not having a weapon]'' What do you mean "without a weapon"? ''[grabs a mook by the ankle]'' I have one right here.

** Later, Van Der Dekken turns several human {{mooks}} into {{homing projectile}}s to be used against Shirahoshi.

* ''Anime/TerraFormars'' has a decidedly unfunny example of this. Early on, one of the titular roach-monsters rips a man's head off, spine included, and uses the spine as a whip to cut down a couple of fleeing victims.

** During [[Characters/ShazamMarvelFamily Mary Marvel]]'s FaceHeelTurn in ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'', she lays the beatdown on [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]] with [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Kyle Rayner]], as seen above.

* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': [[spoiler: During the battle with Sharp Point and his gang, Vix-Lei grabs one of Sharp Point's ponies and starts using them like a flail.]]

-> '''Hellboy''': "[[VisualPun Give me a hand]]!"

* In ''Webcomic/TheHammer2022'', Tiny's favorite method of attack when unarmed is to grab a {{Mook}} and use them as a club against the other mooks.

* In the 2007 version of ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'', in an attempt to get Tracy to appear on ''The Corny Collins Show'', the guards unknowingly use a giant bottle of hairspray (with Tracy inside) to bang open the door to the studio where the show was being filmed.

* During a case in ''Series/NightCourt'', Dan (the prosecutor) describes the actions of the defendant in a bar fight as getting into an argument with someone "...and then attacked him with a blunt instrument. Specifically, the manager."

* In the ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fic, [[http://www.iamnota.net/ff:comes%20the%20cold%20dragon Comes the Cold Dragon]], a drunken Soun ends up using a waitress's ex-boyfriend as a makeshift [[BladeOnAStick naginata]], in the middle of a bar fight instigated by Happosai.

* ''Webcomic/KidRadd'' features this as an actual FinishingMove, where Radd picks up the [[NighInvulnerability Night-Invulnerable]] Sheena and uses her to beat Kobayashi (pun ''very'' intended).

* ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'': In "Fairytale", the evil king uses his assistant, who happens to have the right shape, as a boomerang as a way to attack Robin Hood Lamput's merry men while defending himself from a barrage of arrows. It hits them both, and they fall off the platform where Robin Hood Lamput's execution is taking place.

* Gamespy's webcomic ''Webcomic/FlintlockesGuideToAzeroth'' has Bloodrose. [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080629160139/http://pc.gamespy.com/flintlockes-guide-to-azeroth/episode-16-fast-times-in-arathi-basin/705778p1.html You do not mess with her.]]

*** Reg Shoe gets his arm cut off while fighting Klatchians. Being a zombie, he's not much bothered by this and uses his severed arm as a club. And then he's puzzled when the enemy runs away screaming. Vimes muses they're not used to his form of [[IncrediblyLamePun unarmed combat]].
*** Earlier in the same book, the [[AllTrollsAreDifferent troll Watch officer Sergeant Detritus]] casually hits a bunch of men with another man. After climbing on top of the pile he tells the rest of the crowd they must disperse or he is prepared to use force. The man who served as Detritus' weapon asks what he just used, and is told that that was just "you helping the Watch."
