History Main / RedBoxingGloves

* Averted in ''VideoGame/PunchOut'': Little Mac's gloves are green. Likewise in the 2009 UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} release his gloves are a different color depending on what circuit the player is in, as he wears the aforementioned green gloves in the minor circuit, Light Blue Gloves in the Major Circuit, Red Gloves in the World Circuit (Which justifies the trope), and Golden Gloves in Title Defense. Played straight with some CPU opponents, such as Glass Joe, Bear Hugger and Bald Bull (who wear them both in the Contender and Title Defense bouts), as well as [[spoiler:Donkey Kong]].

-->--[[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Strong Bad]], ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory'', upon being asked, [[RunningGag yet again]], how "he can type with those boxing gloves on".

** The game's Title Defense mode gives Aran Ryan a boxing glove whip. How nobody calls him out for it is beyond me. The glove on the whip is ''purple'' (the ones he's wearing are a light green).

-->'''Heavy:''' Strong and Bad, how is boxing career?\\

** This comes full circle in ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory'', when the Heavy finally meets [=StrongBad=] himself.

* Red boxing gloves on springs are one of the weapons in a battle game in ''SuperMonkeyBall''.

* The 1962 ''{{Lolita}}'' begins (in what's the story's end) with Humbert tracking Quilty to a cluttered mansion. Quilty, in a loopy drunken haze, tries playing a game of ping pong with the confronting Humbert, who pulls a gun. Quilty challenges him to go mano a mano, pulling on a pair of boxing gloves (there for lord knows what purpose) - he's carrying on comically until Humbert fires a shot. Quilty nervously mumbles "wow... right in the boxing glove!"

* In ''StreetFighter'', there's a character who's called M Bison in Japan, Balrog in the US, and sometimes just the Boxer by fans who want to avoid confusion. At least the red boxing gloves are always the same.

* The Joker from ''Batman'', more so for the {{DCAU}} version, along with his sidekick Harley Quinn. It goes wrong one time when Harley tries to headshot Supergirl with a boxing glove gun, and it rebounds off Kara's head harmlessly to score a direct hit on Harley herself.

* The first Anime/LupinIIIRedJacket opening had the boxing glove on a spring. Lupin tries to dive on Fujiko in a bed and, well, falls for the [[IncrediblyLamePun "booby"-trapped "box"]], so to speak.

* The third ''KeroroGunsou'' movie has Keroro whipping out the Kero Ball to salvage an emergency, then hitting a button, only for a boxing glove to come out of it and right into his own face.

* In an episode of ''HomeMovies'', Brendon's grandpa has boxing gloves and offers to teach Brendon to fight. Brendon is understandably hesitant but grandpa's repeatedly goading him with girly name-calling gets him to get in some punches. And grandpa lined the gloves with ball bearings for extra "oomph". Painfully, awkwardly funny.

** Once, The Cheat drew Strong Bad's gloves purple, [[LampshadeHanging causing Strong Bad to call him out on it]].
