** In another Bugs Bunny cartoon, "WesternAnimation/RomanLegionHare", Emperor Nero's Captain of the Guards, played by Yosemite Sam, bashes a caged lion on the head when it roars at him, demanding it to keep its mouth shut. Then Bugs discreetly opens the lion's cage, and again, it roars at Sam, who again does this to the lion, but both his words and the beatings taper off [[OhCrap when he, quite sadly, realizes that the cage is open and there is nothing to separate him from the mauling he is about to receive]].

A comedic version is often used in animation, as to do it in real life often carries a risk of injury. Comedy ain't pretty. Live action examples tend to be intentionally violent and non-comedic, or CrossesTheLineTwice.

* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'', episode "And Between the Wasteland and Sky": Vash the Stampede is trying to stop the sandsteamer he's riding from going into a canyon wall, and his companion, who knows the steamer's layout, has gone into a breakdown. In exasperation, Vash grabs him and headbutts him repeatedly -- into the ground like a tent spike, it's worth noting, as well: "What! Are! You! Getting! All! Senti! Mental! For! You! Little! Squirt!" It should be noted that said squirt had just cold-bloodedly manipulated Vash by pretending to be pathetic, drugged him unconscious, and then systematically betrayed everyone on the steamer to CrazyAwesome bandits who were going to kill them all, and they only had about half an hour before it went over the cliff. Because Vash is too nice a guy to behave like that without extreme provocation.
