!!Examples:

* A running gag in ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' was that Misty would yank on Brock's ear whenever he hit on a girl, which was ''often''. When she made a reappearance in Hoenn and went through the routine again, Max quickly picked up on it.

* In ''{{To Aru Majutsu No Index}}'' we have [[ChurchMilitant battle nuns]] who, in order to counter Index's spell, sticks pens into their ears to break their eardrums.

* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': In the episode "War Stories," Adelai Niska cuts off Mal's ear after Zoe rescues Wash, because the ransom she paid was "too much for just one man."

* In ''{{Castle}}'', Detective Beckett has a tendency to yank Castle's ear when he irritates her by listening in on conversations, getting close to her, and generally annoying her. Which is often.

** Another episode had Stewie show his parents he was missing an ear because he was walking home with a bag full of burgers and "a lot of hungry deer were walking around this time of the night". A deer bit off his ear and Stewie mentions he was able to pull the ear out of the deer's mouth and put it into a cup with some ice he got at a 7-Eleven.

* In ''WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', Eddie Valiant repeatedly grabbed Roger Rabbit by his long ears and swung him around.

** Which is kind of ironic, given he didn't. It was only the lobe, and it probably wasn't him that did the cutting.
* A common punishment for runaway slaves in the Antebellum South was to have an ear chopped off.

* ''{{Firefly}}'': In the episode "War Stories," Adelai Niska cuts off Mal's ear after Zoe rescues Wash, because the ransom she paid was "too much for just one man."

* ''RurouniKenshin'' - After Kenshin disables Enishi's sense of balance with a supersonic attack, Enishi decides to reduce the effect by ''pulling out his own eardrum''. Ouch.
* ''KodomoNoJikan'' - Rin bites Aoki on the ear in one scene while she's going through her [[CreepyChild creepy]] phase.

* [[spoiler: Siegfried]] from SaintSeiya applies this to ''himself'' [[spoiler: to not fall victim to Sorrento's MagicMusic.]]
