* In ''Anime/IsekaiQuartet'', this happens to [[LightNovel/KonoSuba Aqua]], who got caught attacking [[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Ainz' group.]]

* Nobi Nobita from ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}'' gets punished this way many times either because he comes to school late, forgets to do his homeworks, or fall asleep in classes.

* In the first episode of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', GenkiGirl Tomo actually sends ''herself'' out into the hall to prove she's up to the challenge of holding those heavy buckets. Tomo being Tomo, though, she isn't. She soon enough finds this punishment ''very'' taxing. Yukari being Yukari, she finds Tomo's standing into the hall yapping to passersby and eventually dropping the buckets to be ''far'' more annoying than the actual tardiness, about which she couldn't care less.

Now used jokingly -- similar to references to "teacher's hickory stick" (being rapped on the knuckles with a ruler), or sitting on a stool wearing a DunceCap.

* In the school stage of the video game ''[[KatamariDamacy We Love Katamari]]'', a pair of students can be seen holding buckets of water in the hall.

* [[Manga/SakamotoDesuGa Sakamoto]] does this in the intro narration to every episode, naturally looking impossibly stylish while doing so

* Ranma and Akane get sent out into the hall in the second episode of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''. Kuno does too, and comes by to fight Ranma.

* In the first episode of ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', Takato is exiled to the hallway after being LateForSchool, though he doesn't have to hold any buckets of water. He takes the opportunity to draw his [[OriginalCharacter fan-made Digimon]], and then gets busted for ''that'' too.

** In the last volumes of the original manga ''MahouSenseiNegima'', Negi (officially) becomes too busy with extra-school activities, so [[spoiler:his former enemy Fate]] starts to substitute him as a teacher. This substitute turns out to be a SternTeacher (although a [[TheSpock calm and collected]] type), and in one moment he uses this trope on two students who were talking during the class.

* ''Manga/IchigoMashimaro'' features a running gag where a boy in Ana and Matsuri's class is constantly and unfairly assigned to stand in the hall at the slightest provocation, such as, well, being there. Miu tends to end up in the hall for, well, being Miu; and being Miu, unable to understand she did anything wrong.

* The first episode of ''KaitouSaintTail'' has Meimi and Asuka Jr. sent to the hall for fighting.

* In ''{{Kekkaishi}}'', Yoshimori's teacher does this to him once, making him stand in the hallway with a bucket of water on his head. He doesn't really seem to mind since his powers allow him to [[BarrierWarrior generate box-like force fields of spiritual energy]] which are invisible to non-spiritually sensitive people. He balances the bucket on this until something causes him to loose concentration, dispelling the field and causing the bucket to fall and pour the water all over him.

* In ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', Yoko does this to a couple of the students during her time as a teacher.
* Female example: in the first episode of ''FushigiYuugi'', Miaka is kicked out of her classroom for hitting the teacher with her table because he woke her up from a nightmare. The next scene, she's seen carrying her desk above her head.

* In the first episode of ''KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'', Kenichi is made to stand in the hall for being late on his first day. Miu, the girl who escorted him, elects to stand in the hall along with him.

* MildlyMilitary example: In ''StrikeWitches'', Francesca has several instances where she's made to hold buckets of water as punishment. In some of the promotional shorts, Mio makes Yoshika hold buckets of water as punishment for forgetting Sanya, one of the main characters.

* This occurs in the second episode of ''WebVideo/SenpaiClub''. Tsumiki is sent to stand in the hall holding buckets because she came to class late and ''very loudly'' screamed "[=I'M SORRY!=]" while Kurokawa was given the same punishment for trying to seduce Teacher-sensei.

* ''{{Friends}}'' [[RuleOfFunny made the duck stand in the hall]]:
-->'''Chandler:''' ''Now you sit there! and think about what you've done!''
-->'''Ross:''' ''Uh... That's a duck.''

[[folder: Web Original ]]
* ''SailorNothing'' does this at one point.
* There's a well-known story on Tumblr by someone who (allegedly) was given the punishment to stand in the hall ''inside'' an empty bucket, but was told "don't leave the bucket" rather than "stand still." HilarityEnsues, as the kid managed to use the bucket to hop down the hall and out into the parking lot, and when caught said "[[ExactWords I didn't get out of the bucket]]." When the principal calls his mom to come get him, ''she'' says "[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Well, he never left the bucket]]."

[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has Bart being expelled from Springfield Elementary and ends up attending a Catholic private school. On his first day, a nun makes him stand in the hallway in "the crucifix position" and makes him hold dictionaries. (After he makes a snarky comment, she adds two more.)

* Subverted in one episode of ''[[Anime/JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Hare+Guu]]'', when the ''teacher'', Lazy, is sent out like this several times for being, well, too lazy to be bothered with teaching.

* Alluded to by Kisaragi Itsuki in ''RahXephon'', referring to a bickering Kamina Ayato and Kim Hotal acting like misbehaving schoolchildren.

* Parodied in ''PuniPuniPoemi'', where the main character points out that no school in Japan has done this for a good ten years and [[NoFourthWall concludes that the writing staff must all be really really old]].

* This occurs in the second episode of ''WebVideo/SenpaiSchool''. Tsumiki is sent to stand in the hall holding buckets because she came to class late and ''very loudly'' screamed "[=I'M SORRY!=]" while Kurokawa was given the same punishment for trying to seduce Teacher-sensei.

* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Ed's father makes him hold a pail of water as punishment.
** The pail actually had an {{aesop}} hidden in it. Hohenheim had Ed hold the pail after he said that his mom loved Alphonse more than him. Ed put down the pail after a few minutes, and complained. Hohenheim pointed out that the pail (with water) weighed about as much as a baby in the womb, and that their mother had carried that weight for nine months. The point was that their mother carried them both, and loved them both.

* An episode of ''NegimaSecondSeason'' featured as a sideplot, Negi's [[CoolBigSis older]] [[TheDitz sister]] dressing as a student and making herself hold a bucket outside the classroom.

* 7 minutes into the 11th episode of the 1982 anime series TokimekiTonight, the main character Ranze Eto has to hold 1 bucket (due to being a girl) and her love interest Shun Makabe has to hold 2 buckets (due to being a boy) after they are both late for school discussing the upcoming birthday party of Ranze's brother Rinze which Shun was planning to attend. Ranze reflects to Shun's friend later (who offers to hold the bucket for her if it happened again) that she doesn't feel any discomfort due to being in Shun's presence.

* Subverted in one episode of ''[[JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Hare+Guu]]'', when the ''teacher'', Lazy, is sent out like this several times for being, well, too lazy to be bothered with teaching.
