** In "The Fight", after Chakotay frees ''Voyager'' from "chaotic space" with some help from the local aliens, he ends up taking some time out for boxing on the holodeck. Boothby coaches him to make an adjustment to KO his opponent; then we get the second-person point of view as Chakotay punches said opponent in the face.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Bye Bye, Nerdie" features Francine, a girl bully Lisa tries to befriend who for some reason attacks only nerds and no one else. Lisa uses her for a science project, discovering that she attacks those who secrete "Poindextrose".
