** Onizuka punishes the three schoolgirls Anko, Naoko and Mayuko for bullying and humiliating the poor Noboru. It involves tying them by their hands, spanking them (in the anime only) and [[spoiler: take pictures of them butt-naked after letting Noburu write apologetic words on their ass (on their panties in the anime).]] Their humiliation is played for laughs.

** In the first anime, Chibi-Usa [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink spikes the Inner Senshi's drinks]] to make them fall asleep and look for the Silver Crystal. Usagi, however, had been smart enough to not take her drink, so she pretends to be drugged; when Chibi-Usa gets close she suddenly gets up, tucks Chibi under her arm and begins spanking her as punishment. [[spoiler: [[MoodWhiplash It's a plot point]]: Chibi-Usa is so shocked and upset that she starts crying and releases an odd PillarOfLight, which tips off the Black Moon Clan...]]
** In the SuperS movie, Usagi spanked Chibi-Usa when she got frustrated over failing to snap the later out if a hypnotic trance she was in. The funny part is that her getting spanked is what ''does'' finally snap her out of it.

** At the end of [[CourtroomEpisode Episode 35]], [[spoiler: Bad Kaeloo]] spanks [[spoiler: Mr. Cat]] offscreen. The spanking is played for laughs because the one being spanked is actually more upset about having been emotionally manipulated than physically hurt.

''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'': in "Nobita's Bride", when Nobita and Doraemon travel to the future to see his wife, he finds out an ugly woman in his apartment... but turns out, that's not his wife, but the mother of a kid that his future son likes to bully, who has come to complain about. His wife, turns out, is his current crush, Shizuka, and she makes Nobita apologize, believing him to be their [[IdenticalGrandson identical son]] Nobisuke. Upon realizing this is the future he would have hoped, he gets really happy and even starts calling Shizuka some loving nicknames, which causes her to drag him over her lap and give him a spanking while scolding him on how much of a troublemaker he is, compared to his father, who is such a nice man. [[HilarityEnsues And then the actual Nobisuke shows up...]]

** In episode 37, a BrainwashedAndCrazy Ai is fighting against her younger brother Kaito using a small mecha and during the fight she spanks him, which makes her stop by giving her a case of deja-vu. Kaito's response is to [[NakedPeopleAreFunny remove all his clothes]] and telling Ai to look at his butt and remember that she used to spank him a lot when he was younger. It works.

It may cause some ValuesDissonance in modern audiences as CorporalPunishment is becoming more and more frowned upon. Because of this, spanking played for comedy can often come off as DudeNotFunny.

* Count Spankulot, a recurring VillainOfTheWeek in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', is built around this trope, [[ShapedLikeItself as should be apparent from his name.]] He's pretty much a vampire, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent except that his powers are based on spanking naughty children rather than sucking blood]], which is done when they break the rules or make him really angry. (Note that Spankulot is the only villain in the series to get in actual legal trouble for what he does, as he has taken this too far more than once.) Likewise, when Count Spankulot spanks his victims without his gloves, it turns other people[[spoiler:, even stuffed animals (which the vampirified Numbuh 1 did to [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals Numbuh 3's Big-Bottom Rainbow Monkey doll)]]]] into spanking vampires, and the only way the victim can cure themselves is to either spank back the vampire that spanked him/her or spank the original Spank-Happy Vampire (Count Spankulot himself).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'': the scene is rather dramatic since it sparks the whole incident that results in Dumbo being separated from his mother and the latter being chained, but when Mrs. Jumbo goes all MamaBear on the [[TheBully human kids that mock her son]], the first thing she does is... spanking the kid that touched Dumbo.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'': The Phlume gets back at Reeka for stabbing it with a pick by grabbing a spoon from... somewhere... and spanking her with it.

** Judge Harm sentences Marge and Home to have their heads and hands locked up in wooden stocks. Later it is made harsher -- they have to stand at the road, bend over and be spanked by drivers. Nelson even whips them with an extension cord.

* In a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch, [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]] turns himself into a baby to infiltrate Castle Greyskull's nursery, but is sidetracked when the nanny spanks him for being mean to another baby and gets sexual pleasure out of it, leading him to repeatedly misbehave to get more spankings, which gets awkward when the spell wears off and He-Man bursts and finds him. The sketch ends with the King giving a medal...to ''Skeletor'' for exposing the abusive nanny.

* Music/ElvisPresley's character spanks to a girl who tries to commit suicide in the movie ''Film/BlueHawaii''. The next morning she was at the table... sitting on a pillow.

* A RunningGag between Queen Aminata and Joseline Navarro, except for when their [[TheRival rivalry]] is at it's most serious. During their first match in Premier Championship Wrestling Aminata refused to lock up, pie facing and spanking Joseline instead, but though the palm to the face was effective, Aminata hurt her hand as much as she hurt Joseline's butt, leading her to scream that Joseline's ass had to be fake. Since then the two like to [[UnsportsmanLikeGloating rub in their victories]] over each other with more examples of this trope or LiteralAssKicking.[[/folder]]

It's a subtrope of Corporal Punishment and {{Slapstick}}, and a sister trope to other spanking tropes KinkySpanking and DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff. For more general posterior-punishment, see LiteralAssKicking and PainToTheAss.

When [=DiDi=] seems to be getting into this, it perhaps becomes more KinkySpanking. (See strip #612, June 12, 2012, onwards — NSFW).

* In one episode of ''Series/YoungSheldon,'' Connie refuses to drive Sheldon to a roboctics lecture (mostly because a creppy professor who has a crush on her was going to be there) and Sheldon accuses her of being selfish.
