* "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E8Frenemies Frenemies]]": During the VillainSong, after Chrysalis sends Tirek tumbling down a flight of stairs, the centaur grabs an annoying Cozy Glow, sings "''For all this pain and torture, I swear you'll pay!''"... and then he shakes the filly forcefully enough for her tongue to hang out.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': During the first dream of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E4BloomAndGloom Bloom & Gloom]]", [[spoiler:upon noticing her brand-new cutie mark,]] Apple Bloom excitedly shakes Applejack fast enough that her head becomes a blur while making a ringing sound.

** In ''Asterix and the Missing Scroll'', Bonus Promoplus is a choleric little man who's in the habit of doing this to his servants. Including with a mute scribe, while ordering him to talk (he has to be reminded twice that the scribe can't).

** Dave lifts human!Artie [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/users/narbonic/080505out_again.jpg off the ground in joy,]] freaking the latter.

Falling between the NeckLift and MetronomicManMashing in terms of forcefulness (and physical improbability), the Minion Maracas occurs when Alice lifts Bob and shakes him in mid-air, whether for emphasis or from an excess of emotion. Generally applied only in animation and comedic works, due to issues of leverage.
