History Main / HitMeDammit

* In ''Film/SonOfAGun'', JR's cellmate is being [[PrisonRape sexually abused by Dave]]. When he sees Dave and his gang approaching his cellmate, he tells his cellmate to hit him. His cellmate is confused, but after JR shoves him a couple of times, his cellmate responds by tackling him. This forces the guards to intervene and scares off dave and his cronies.

* In [[Literature/BooksOfKings 1st Kings]], a prophet of God needs to be beaten and bruised in order to deliver the message God had for King Ahab (It makes sense in [[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Kings%2020:35-43&version=NIV context]]).

* In ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', Touji tells Shinji to hit him [[MyFistForgivesYou as a "macho" way of apologizing]].

* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', Shampoo would only reverse the LaserGuidedAmnesia she gave Akane if male-Ranma would kill girl-Ranma. At the time Shampoo thought girl-Ranma to be a separate person and was honor-bound to kill her. He bargains her down to "half-kill" and he begs for Ryoga (who doesn't want Akane regaining her memory) to half-kill him. After he then goes to insults, they fight and Ranma accidentally knocks Ryoga out, but luckily Soun and Genma are happy to fill in. Soun is so touched that he cries, congratulates Ranma for wanting to help Akane and beats the shit out of him while yelling "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"
** When Ryoga and Ranma subject Akane to a TraumaticHaircut in the middle of their first big fight, they tell her to punch them. She does. Hard. (This is a girl who can shatter cinder blocks with her bare hands.)

* After an episode of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' where he had mostly been a total ass, Tai offered Izzy, who had been the main target of Tai's aggression, a free shot as a way of apologizing. Izzy shook his head and explained that he understood what Tai was going through and that there was no need for violence, leading to Izzy's not-so-forgiving companions offering to do it for him.
-->'''Agumon:''' Can I hit ya then?\\
'''Tentomon:''' I wouldn't mind a whack, myself...
* In ''Endless Waltz'', TheMovie of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', Heero pulls this with Duo as enemy soldiers close in - and then [=KOs=] Duo immediately afterwards. Heero's rationale? "One for one - now we're even." This little trick allows both of them to escape individually when they would likely not have been able to do so otherwise.
** In the TV series, after being tricked into killing a plane full of world leaders, he gets a pistol and seeks out every single member of all their families... and offers them the chance to shoot him. They all end up forgiving him instead.
** Reversed in the very beginning. Since Relena saw him first engage in his mission, he very ominously tells her, "I will kill you." Several times, she ends up with his gun pointed at her. By episode 6, however, she defies him to shoot...and he can't. He agonizes over why.
* ''Manga/SoulEater'':
** After Maka punches Black☆Star during an argument, she [[MyFistForgivesYou insists that he punch her back so they'll be even]]. He's not particularly hesitant, but asks if she's sure all the same. Maka asks him to give it all he's got, and despite the fact that he agrees, everyone expects him to go easy on her. Black☆Star ends up [[WouldHitAGirl punching her]] so hard ''in the face'' [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom she goes flying into a pile of garbage]].
** Black☆Star himself tells this to Kid after challenging him to a fight because he was mad at losing several previous fights. Kid obliges by literally stomping Black☆Star's head into a crater.
* A line in the English dub of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' has Yusuke asking [[LoveInterests Keiko]] to hit him as an apology for his work as Spirit Detective getting her dragged into a potentially fatal situation.
* In ''Manga/Eyeshield21'', near the end of the Devil Bats' match against the White Knights in the Fall Tournament, Monta asked Sena to slap him and fire him up, since Monta's too worn-out to do it to himself. This is quickly followed by every member of the Devil Bats slapping each other to get pumped up (though some [[HilarityEnsues get a little carried away]]).
* In ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'', the standard punishment in Rikkaidai is [[CorporalPunishment a slap to the face]] from NotSoStoic sub-captain Sanada. At least two players have specifically told him to bitchslap them in front of everyone if they lose their match. [[spoiler: And so does Sanada, in the finals.]]

* Used in ''Manga/HimechansRibbon'' - after the fiasco that establishes Sei Arei as a Jerk, Himeko wants Daichi to hit her. He refuses. She forces him.

* Tsubaki, [[DoggedNiceGuy nice-guy protagonist]] of ''Manga/MysteriousGirlfriendX'', insists his girl Urabe give him a nice hard slap to make up for, in a moment of weakness, trying to take advantage of her the previous day. (She does.)
* Being a {{Shonen|Demographic}} series, ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' is bound to have these, but a notable subversion comes in the Chimaera Ant arc. Morau tells Gon to imagine him as Neferpitou and hit him with the Jajanken as a [[spoiler:fake]] test of determination. This causes Gon to be filled with so much killing intent that it forces Killua to call the whole thing off before things get ugly.
* Alucard from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' allows his opponents to try to invoke the ChunkySalsaRule on him before fighting back, because they'll be even more terrified when he does eventually activate his HealingFactor[=/=]LovecraftianSuperpower.
* In Chapter 112 of ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', Mashiro asks Takagi to punch him [[spoiler:as his way of atoning for doubting Takagi in the last few chapters. Takagi eventually relents, but goes easy on Mashiro. This eventually leads to an all-out brawl between the two as a way of "indulging in youth"]].
* A rare non-physical variant of this trope occurs in ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'''s fourth season. Due to visions of him and Drago being connected to Mag Mel and Razenoid, Dan begins keeping it to himself and things start going south. From Drago losing control to the two of them leaving for New Vestoria without letting Marucho and Shun know beforehand causes a rift in the group. This only gets worse when they head to Gundalia to assist in driving Mag Mel's forces away from the planet where Dan disobeys orders from Marucho (who had elected himself as the new leader as the Brawlers) to not involve himself. After finding Rafe and Wolfurio after the Brawlers got separated, Dan learns that the reason why his comrades acted the way they did towards him is because they were worried he was taking most of the burden for himself. Once Dan gets the message, [[JerkassRealization he realizes how inconsiderate and arrogant he has been]]. After the initial battle has ended, he pleads to his friends to yell at him for giving them so much trouble. The Brawlers just stare at him in surprise, but Shun walks towards him, and seeing how he's been with him long enough, Dan expects [[WhatTheHellHero the most brutal lecture]] he believes he deserves. What [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this trope is that instead of busting his grill, Shun offers his hand to Dan, not only welcoming back him back into the Brawlers, but recognizing him as their leader once more.
* A minor example happens in ''Anime/{{Kiznaiver}}''. In Episode 3, Takeshiro asked to be slapped in the face by Tenga to try and stop Hisomu. However, all three of them along with four other characters are Kiznaivers, meaning any sort of pain one of them receives is collectively felt by the others. This is [[PlayedforLaughs played for laughs]] when the local neighborhood patrol stop Tenga from hitting Takeshiro, mistaking it for physical abuse.
* ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'': Occurs in [[Recap/Doraemon1979E1759SoapBubbles "Soap Bubbles"]]. Big G asks Noby to hit him for the graffiti he drew on the wall, but Noby doesn't want to hit Big G. Big G [[ThePenance hits himself with a frying pan instead]].

* In ''Manga/KOn'', [[YuriFan Mugi]] asks [[ButtMonkey Ritsu]] to hit her due to her interpreting getting smacked as [[SlapSlapKiss a sign of affection]] after seeing Mio constantly smacking Ritsu. Ritsu is hesitant, so they try getting Mio to do the smacking instead via having Mugi stealing Mio's strawberry. Despite this becoming a [[MemeticMutation Memetic]] MoralEventHorizon with the fandom, Mio isn't able to give Mugi what she wants. It takes Mugi suggesting that Ritsu was a guy, she would be a great ChickMagnet in order for someone (Ritsu) to smack her. She then takes a framed picture of herself with the resultant CranialEruption, called "me and my lump."
* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Matsuri invites Shadow Mei to beat him if it'll [[PercussiveTherapy help her get over]] her grudge on humanity. Matsuri tries to absorb her attacks with his [[BlowYouAway wind]] [[DeflectorShields shield]], [[AmusingInjuries but he's only partially successful]].

[[quoteright:350:[[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/plzhitme.png]]]]

* ''Comicbook/{{BPRD}}: Hell on Earth'': Iosif Nichayko, being sealed in a life-supporting containment suit, finds himself [[INeedAFreakingDrink desperate for a drink]]. He asks his lieutenant Leonid to punch him and break open his helmet; Leonid is reluctant to risk harming Iosif, but relents when Iosif threatens to do the deed himself, [[AteHisGun using a gun.]]

* ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'': During a fight between ComicBook/CarolDanvers and ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, the former wants to beat the latter to the ground for stealing her life, but she hesitates when she notices Rogue is perfectly willing to stay put while she is being punched.

* Used in ''Manga/HimechanNoRibon'' - after the fiasco that establishes Sei Arei as a Jerk, Himeko wants Daichi to hit her. He refuses. She forces him.

** In the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "A Private Little War", Spock goes into a Vulcan healing trance after being shot. As he begins to come out of it, he asks Nurse Chapel to strike him to help him fully regain consciousness.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldWithWillyFog'', when [[InspectorJavert Inspector Dix]] finds out that he imprisoned Fog under a false accusation and caused him to lose his bet, he is overcome by guilt and asks his put-upon sidekick Bully to punch him. Bully hits him twice--once for Mr. Fog, and once for himself.

Sometimes crosses over with MyFistForgivesYou or with SelfMutilationDemonstration ('cause you might ask someone else); frequently shows up in MakeItLookLikeAStruggle. StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred is when someone wants to be hit so that the hitter will break their moral code and fall from grace. Another variant of this trope is when someone asks to be hit because [[{{Fetish}} it turns them on]], although that usually will have [[BondageIsBad negative consequences]]. If this is said during a competition, it’s usually because the speaker feels it would be an insult for their opponent to hold back.

* In the Marvel ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' series, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica started beating the living tar out of ComicBook/ThePunisher--who simply let it happen. When Cap practically ordered him to fight back, Castle responded: "Not against you." For context: This happened during a flashback of the time the Punisher remembered meeting Cap, but Cap not recalling. Cap didn't remember because at the time, The Punisher was in combat training, and was just any other grunt. Before he actually became The Punisher. He also didn't remember because it wasn't him, just a guy the military dressed up as Captain America; the original was on ice at the time.

* Played disturbingly straight in ''Film/{{Closer}}'' when Alice and Dan are breaking up and she tells him she slept with Larry. She ends up spitting in his face, and when he raises his hand to her, she says "Go on, hit me. It's what you want. Come on, hit me, fucker!" [[spoiler:He does.]]

* After a joking attempt to feel up [[{{Meido}} Shannon]] gets a little too close to reality for his comfort in ''[[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Legend of the Golden Witch]]'', [[ChivalrousPervert Battler]] starts begging for somebody to beat him senseless before anything actually happens (and thanks Jessica when she elbows him in the head). After the fact, Battler insists that Shannon has the right to smack him if he gets within 10cm of her breasts -- and the ''obligation'' to if he gets within 2cm.

* Near the end of case 5 ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', Apollo asks Athena to hit him as payback for [[spoiler: believing she could have murdered Apollo's childhood friend Clay Terran.]] Athena opts for a DopeSlap instead, and she only does it because she's annoyed at Apollo [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan beating himself up over it]].

* Not exactly "hit me" in the sense of punching, but in ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'', Yosemite Sam and D.J. Drake are playing blackjack at a casino. Yosemite Sam keeps pestering the dealer (WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn) to "hit me" (play a card) -- and gets a sock in the face because it's not his turn.

What [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this trope is that instead of busting his grill, Shun offers his hand to Dan, not only welcoming back him back into the Brawlers, but recognizing him as their leader once more.

* In episode 100 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', while in Caboose's mind, Church needs to be killed so that he can leave:
