* In ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', after [[HurricaneOfEuphemisms she is fired by Kuzco]] Izma lets off steam by smashing busts of Kuzco.

* In SpiderRobinson's ''CallahansCrosstimeSaloon'' series, all drinks at Callahan's bar are fifty cents, and Callahan only accepts one dollar bills. You get the fifty cents back unless you want to step up to the line and make a toast by tossing your empty glass into the bar's fireplace hard enough to shatter it. It is an exceptionally cathartic action, as it turns out.

* ''{{Shortpacked}}'': Ethan really has it in for [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2010/comic/book-12/05-neww-2010-comics/gangsta/ Alternators Tracks]].

* ''MarioParty Advance'' contains a Gaddget called "Stress Press." The entire purpose of it is to smash various objects with an enormous hammer, for the express purpose of making you feel better.

* ''Many times'' in ''{{Zombieland}}''. Most particularly the nice minivan and the gift shop.

* The first weapon you get in ''RatchetAndClank: Up Your Arsenal'' gives a nice satisfying crunch.

* Referenced in whichever mythbusters episode had the killer snowplow myth. (where a snowplow could blow a car off the road.)

* Referenced by EddieIzzard in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUwnkTnHrtI this]] sketch from ''Dressed to Kill''

The visceral joy one gets from ruthlessly smashing or otherwise destroying some inanimate object, especially if said object (or whatever it represents) has caused you a great deal of annoyance. Implements favored for this kind of catharsis include, but are not limited to: [[BatterUp Baseball Bats]], [[DropTheHammer Sledgehammers]], [[ChainsawGood Chainsaws]], Woodchippers, Heavy Construction Equipment, and in some cases High Explosives. As a general rule, [[NoKillLikeOverKill the more over the top the means of destruction, the greater the satisfaction.]] RingRingCrunch is a subtrope of this. DieChairDie may also be related to this, depending on the game.

* In the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'', when a muckraking reporter and her film-crew kept following [[BoisterousBruiser Stone]] around, looking for ''something'' to tarnish up his already shaky reputation with, he finally got so fed up with her that he flattened the newsvan they were using to follow him. And you should take the word "flattened" literally, as he used his [[Super Strength]] to drop a bulldozer on it eight or nine times in quick succession. Then he got himself a beer.
