* In the opening of ''Film/JurassicPark'', Robert Muldoon and other gamekeepers attempt to use cattleprods that resemble short-range [[LightningGun Lightning Guns]] (and are portrayed as such in some of the [[VideoGameAdaptation Video Game Adaptations]]) to subdue a ''Velociraptor'' that managed to break out of confinement and grab one of the staff - it doesn't work before the victim is killed.
* In ''Film/JurassicWorld'', a cattle prod is enough to zap a charging ''Velociraptor''.

* Subverted in the first novel of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', ''Literature/StormFront''. While wizards are normally just as vulnerable to mundane weapons as any other human, being one also makes you a WalkingTechbane. So when he's threatened with a stun gun [[spoiler:by the BigBad's untrusting wife]], Harry is easily able to disable it although it would easily take him down if she managed to hit him with it.

* Early in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', Team Rocket often came out with HumongousMecha, robots, etc. that generally proved explosively vulnerable to Pikachu's electricity. Eventually they got smart and started designing their machines to withstand or even be supercharged by electric attacks.
