* In ''Film/OldSurehand'', the titular character is at a fair near a Hi-Striker, when a pint-sized carnie tries intimidating him. Surehand responds by telling the guy "Oh, you ''shouldn't'' have done that!" before grabbing the carnie and whacks his head ''thrice'' on the striker's pedal. And hits the bell ''thrice'', for good measure.

* ''VideoGame/MarvelsSpiderMan2'': Features Peter, [=MJ=], and Harry going to Coney Island and encounter a strength test that nominally evaluates how much the hitter loves their mate. Peter hides his strength, doing just okay on the test. Harry, who has been newly endowed with is power, hits the launch pad so hard it flies up, breaks the bell off the top, and breaks the machine, much to the displeasure of the now furious carnival worker.

* In the late stages of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', a punch-strength machine is set up for the entrants of the tournament. The heroes all give the machine light taps that send it to the maximum rating (to the horror of the organizers)... [[JerkAss then Vegeta comes up and destroys the machine in one punch.]]
