[[caption-width-right:330:"[[LemonyNarrator I mean, crap, man, look at that!]] That's, like, [[MadeOfBologna his stomach plug on the ground back there]]. ''Tch.'' You don't see that every day."]]

** Ayakashi, on the other hand, [[EnergyBeings are made ]] of LifeEnergy, so Sosuke's attack really ''does'' bite pieces of them off. They apparently don't have organs anything like corporeal life forms, as [[spoiler:Shirogane]] lost half of his ''head'' without even losing consciousness.

* ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'': Luz receives one of these from Millie the Witch's [[LightEmUp magic laser beam]] in chapter 17. Fortunately, it's nothing her HealingFactor can't fix, albeit with some scarring on her stomach.

* Mine from ''Anime/AkameGaKill'' uses a laser gun that gets more powerful the more danger she's in. When we see this weapon used early in the series on one of the Empire's guards, the laser bores a clean, cauterized, baseball-sized hole in his chest.

** Over the course of the series, Alphonse gets bits and chunks removed from his body, some with very nice rounded edges. Justified in that he's a magically animated suit of armor. At one point he does crumple over.

** Edward leaves [[BigBad Father]] with one after he punches a hole through his chest. Ed manages to destroy Father's Philosopher's Stone with said punch, giving a hole for all the souls that made the Stone up to escape through.

** Nnoitra has a hole through his ''brain''. The difference between a Hollow hole and a regular hole is emphasized when Kenpachi stabs through Nnoitra's eyepatch, leading to the reveal of his Hollow hole and causing Nnoitra to comment something along the lines of, "you're right, no-one could survive a stab to the head. But your sword didn't stab me, it passed right through!"

** Future Trunks has done this to people and been on the receiving end of it. As the one doing the deed, he blows a hole through King Cold with a God Breaker blast, leaving the tyrant alive long enough to beg for his life, only to blow him to pieces with another blast. As the one on the receiving end, he gets blasted through the chest by Cell after he comes back from his near-death experience. By the text, Trunks doesn't die right away, but he isn't conscious either.

* ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'': When Shinji Matou Installs the Assassin Class Card, he gains the Noble Phantasm, Zabaniya: Dead Heartbeat Melody, which lets him somehow punch three-leaf clover shaped holes in people to kill them.

** The first one is Dio Brando during his penultimate fight with Jonathan, who manages to punch right through his chest with a Hamon infused blow. This destroys Dio's vampiric body, [[spoiler:but not his head, [[LosingYourHead which lives on]] long enough to pull a GrandTheftMe on Jonathan's own body, allowing Dio to survive for another 100 years]].

** Josuke once ''saves'' his mother Tomoko's life by punching all the way through her stomach--it keep her from ingesting the liquid stand Aqua Necklace, which Josuke promptly traps in a bottle, [[GoodThingYouCanHeal and Crazy Diamond immediately fixes the injury]]. As she's not a Stand user and therefore can't see Stands, Tomoko doesn't even notice anything happened.

* ''Punctures'' by Shintaro Kago uses this in its main plot, where people puncture items or even themselves to solve various daily issues. In the series, people have dug holes through their hands, their chests or even straight through their face, but can still seem to function completely normally.

* The monster Zanba from ''Anime/TheUltraman'' was eventually defeated when Ultraman Joneus, spinning himself like a corkscrew, rips a hole in it's midsection, large enough for Joneus himself to fly through.

* Another statue, titled "Melancholy", [[https://www.penwellgabeltopeka.com/Blog/6245/Melancoliesculpture has NOTHING in its torso]]. A football can literally fit through the space in the middle of the statue. As it turns out this work of art is a portrayal the void that grief leaves behind in those whom were mourning.

* Franchise/{{Batman}} villainess Una Nemo AKA "The Absence", currently the trope picture on the WhoEvenNeedsABrain page. Una was shot in the head by gangsters and now has an enormous hole in her forehead and extending all the way through, with no visible brain, yet functions just fine, and may be smarter than before the hole happened. It appears to be a combination of a previously undiagnosed freak medical condition (which resulted in the brain lining the skull rather than sitting in the middle of it) and Gotham City's water supply being seriously tainted.

** A Jedi strike force brings down the the Chief Epistolary of the Crimson Razors, a SuperSoldier with both PoweredArmor and PsychicPowers, with an archaic Jedi rifle that literally bores a hole clean through the Space Marine's armored torso, obliterating all three lungs and both hearts.

* ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'': Richard Gecko (Quentin Taratino) gets shot in the hand during the robbery at the beginning of the film. During the drive to Mexico, he holds up his hand and peers at his brother through it, then wraps it up with duct tape.

* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s "Meet The Pyro", the ending shows the BLU Soldier having a gaping hole in his chest and dying among the aftermath of the Pyro's visit. [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Ouch.]]

* ''VideoGame/PrimeTarget'' have animations for mooks killed by large-bore weapons like the shotgun or magnum, resulting in a torso-hole provinding a clear view of their ribcage and internal organs. It's not exactly a see-through hole, however.
* Exaggerated with the floating zombies from ''VideoGame/RemorseTheList'', who doesn't even ''have a torso''. Said monster is a deformed head, two limbs and two legs, forming a humanoid shape and floating everywhere to attack you. Oddly enough, shooting the blank space where their torso ''should'' be can hurt them.

* ''VideoGame/SteelHarbinger'' have this happening to Victim Zero of the alien pod infestation in the opening cutscene. A random civilain, curiously trying to get a closer look at a dropped pod in the middle of California, is suddenly skewered through the midsection by the pod's tentacles, and as said victim turns around to reveal the see-through hole in his guts, it's suddenly filled with metal as the victim becomes a human-machine convert.

* ''VideoGame/WildArms5'': [[spoiler:After being defeated by the heroes and then in a duel by Greg, Kartikeya blows a hole through his torso to deny Greg the satisfaction of killing the responsible for the death of his family. Greg calls him an idiot, saying that his vendetta against the demon is not longer his main objetive but "just a point to pass along the way". [[UndignifiedDeath Realizing that he essentially killed himself for nothing]], Kartikeya can only mutter an utterly confused "w-what!?" before falling down dead.]]

** Trolls are shown to have endoskeletons through XRaySparks, but are also implied to have exoskeletons (which they use in place of the word 'backbone').

* Done in ''Webcomic/RomanticallyApocalyptic''. Snipey is not only fine but also (apparently) the only one to survive the scene. The only things that get mentioned are that "it hurts alot", and that [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he no longer makes a suitable human raft.]]

** A side variant occurs in "Fry and the Slurm Factory" where Bender is saved from becoming over a hundred slurm cans... but not fast enough to have a hole punched through his side. Justified, since he's a robot.

* It is possible for a gunshot wound to heal this way, assuming the bullet was high-enough caliber. One photograph of a Civil War soldier shows the soldier sticking a ramrod through a bullet wound that healed as a hole.

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': If ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' is the king of this trope, then ''[=JoJo=]'' is the queen, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1rMXW4OOQw many characters suffering this both lethally and nonlethally]], particularly when a user has a Close Range Power Type Stand. The fandom refers to these injuries as [[Memes/JoJosBizarreAdventure "donuts".]]

-->--'''Male superhero''', ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' for [[https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1994/02/20 February 20, 1994]]

** Nimaiya gets this courtesy of [[spoiler:Lille Barro shooting him in the chest.]]

* ''[[Film/Deadpool2016 Deadpool]]''. The protagonist's HealingFactor is demonstrated to the audience by Deadpool getting shot through the arm, and looking through the hole as it shrinks closed again at the person who did it (though first he [[FlippingTheBird pushed his finger through]]).

* On ''Series/{{Community}}'' Jeff meets one of his old law associates, played by Creator/DrewCarey, who has a hole through the palm of his hand due to a childhood accident.

** PlayedForDrama in "World Enough and Time" [[spoiler:when this happens to the Doctor's companion, Bill. She survives, but only at the cost of being converted into a Cyberman]]. It's a WhamShot to show the audience that this is one crisis the Doctor is not going to resolve easily.

* In the first SeasonFinale of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', Jackie uses Shendu's own Dragon Talisman to blow a hole straight through his chest. Unfortunately, Shendu still has the Horse Talisman, allowing him to heal the damage in seconds.

* [[EmotionEater The Changelings]] in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' have this as their [[BodyHorror default anatomy]].
* [[SoftSpokenSadist The Milkman]] from ''WesternAnimation/PennZeroPartTimeHero'' has a body that's entirely made up of milk, making it virtually impossible to harm him. When he gets shot at, his abdomen simply splits to allow the ammunition to pass through and when Penn punches him, his arm ends up going right through his torso.

* In a ''WesternAnimation/PinkPanther'' cartoon, the Panther is ironing his fur when the phone rings, and as he answers it the iron burns through his body, leaving an iron-shaped hole. He tries to cover it up by putting a clock that matches the shape perfectly.

** In one episode, Homer gets his guts ripped out by a badger. [[AmusingInjuries He's fine]].
** Bart, a.k.a. "Stretch Dude", created a hole in his stomach using his rubber powers to dodge The Collector's phasers.

* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/{{Squidbillies}}''. One episode shows the Sheriff with a large chunk bitten out of his torso. When he unbuttons his shirt to show the wound, his torso promptly begins to sink, but he seems to be unhindered by the wound as soon as he rebuttons his shirt.

* One of Creator/TexAvery's common visual gags, as seen in shorts such as ''The Chump Champ''.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'', Banzai the hyena was once so hungry he said he felt like he had a hole in his stomach. Then he illustrated it by literally pulling his belly into a donut shape.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersWarForCybertronTrilogy'', [[DeathByAdaptation Ultra Magnus]] is shot clean through the torso by Megatron.
* On one ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner'' cartoon, Wile E. tries to stop the Road Runner by holding a "triple-strength battleship steel armor plate" in front of him. The Road Runner just rips through the plate, leaving a [[ImpactSilhouette Road Runner-shaped hole]] through it... and presumably through Wile E.'s body as well. Wile E. looks down in shock and tiptoes out of frame.

** Whitebeard gets half his head blasted off before dying, and it's not even what kills him!

%% This page has been alphabetized. Please add new examples in the correct order. Thanks!

->''I could '''feel''' my spine shatter.\\

...A '''lot'''.''

This trope works for - or against - either MadeOfIron or MadeOfPlasticine, DependingOnTheWriter. Similar to a bigger version of InvisibleHoles. Sometimes paired with MadeOfExplodium for [[RuleOfCool whatever reason]], and frequently caused by ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice or an ImpactSilhouette. Often you can expect the interior surface of the hole to be MadeOfBologna. May also result in BloodyHilarious.

** One of the most stretching moments has Byakuya Kuchiki blowing a baseball-sized hole clean through Tsukishima's chest and back, (which had to take segments of his spine, lungs, and heart, etc.), and outside of his Fullbring, Tsukishima is a normal human. Rather than it being an insta-kill, Tsukishima's co-conspirator points out that he'll die in "ten minutes",[[labelnote:*]]somehow sensing him from ''a different [[AlternateDimension pocket dimension]]'',[[/labelnote]] during which he's '''still''' able to get up, try to sneak attack Ichigo, and afterward endure a massive VillainousBreakdown. [[spoiler: Later chapters reveal that he did indeed die from the wound, but you gotta give him credit]].
** White is a notable aversion, whose Hollow hole has been filled with a veiny substance. However, [[spoiler: Masaki]] starts growing one when she inadvertently [[spoiler:assimilates him]].

** [[spoiler: Izuru Kira]] takes the cake with his reintroduction to the series. Subverted in that his hole is reinforced.

* Happens in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' when the Tamers are attacked by Beelzebumon. [[spoiler: Leomon]] stops Beelzebumon from attacking another Digimon and taunts him, but gets ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by Beelzebumon's claws, leaving a big hole in [[spoiler: his]] abdomen before ultimately perishing. This death causes [[spoiler: his Tamer, Juri, to descend into despair, which the BigBad uses to their advantage]].

* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' had this [[https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1994/02/20 happen]] in a spoof of violent comic books. Even [[NightmareFetishist Calvin]] is a bit traumatized by this, not helped by his oblivious mother.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': This is how the Omnidroid V10 was killed in the final battle, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard by its own spinning claw no less]]. The movie delivers what is arguably the most awesome shot, firstly showing the audience Mr. Incredible and his family, and then pans out - ''through'' the hole on the Omnidroid - revealing it's been defeated.

-->'''Madeline''': "You're a fraud, Helen! You're a walking lie, and I can see ''right through you!''"

* Iceman in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', by [[spoiler: ''three'' Sentinels in the climax.]]

* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': After [[spoiler: Tessa critically injures Michael]], infuriated Harry burns her through with a gargantuan blowtorch of anger-fueled magical fire. [[spoiler: Being a fallen angel, she survives, but only barely.]]

* In ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', the Dragon Zord Fighting Mode's FinishingMove is to use its staff - tipped with the Dragonzord's tail drill - to stab straight through the MonsterOfTheWeek. We get a view of the Zord as if you were looking through the hole from behind the monster until it falls over and only then does DefeatMeansExplosion kick in. The hole shows no sign of the monster ''having'' organs or bone or being anything but solid straight through. The monsters are, of course, [[{{Golem}} clay figures brought to life]], so they kinda aren't supposed to have organs.

** ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightNewGenerationHeroes'': [[spoiler: The BigBad of the series, Ultra Dark-Killer, eventually dies when the New Generation Ultras [[AllYourPowersCombined combines all their energies]] into Ultraman Ginga's Taro armour, allowing Ginga to unleash the combined force of all ten of the Ultras, effectively tearing a hole through Dark-Killer's torso and finally finishing him off for good]].
** ''Series/UltramanTriggerNewGenerationTiga'' have this as the fate of [[spoiler: Darrgon]] as part of his HeelFaceDoorSlam; shortly after his reformation, he then gets an empowered Nursedessei tunneling through his midsection.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', [[spoiler:Kanaya]] gets a huge hole punched through her torso, which [[spoiler:she dies of - [[CameBackStrong temporarily]]. After coming back, she retains the hole, and is able to walk around with it quite happily.]] Perhaps justified as her species is implicitly invertebrate (Gamzee calls Karkat his 'iNvErTiBrOtHeR').

-->'''Gabe''': All my pieces...my pieces...go back in...go back in...

-->'''Pfff''': ''(inserts arm and points finger through one hole)'' That's child abuse.

-->'''Eddy''': Ed! Your stupid toy ate my breakfast!

-->'''General Skarr''': Oh, now I remember.

* On ''Series/{{Community}}'' Jeff meets one of his old law associates, played by DrewCarey, who has a hole through the palm of his hand due to a childhood accident.

*** This is the ultimate fate of anyone pierced with a Raikiri. Naruto (healed it with the Nine Tails chakra), Haku (died instantly), Kakuzu (it only costs him ''one'' of his hearts. He had four more), [[spoiler: Rin (fatally injured), and ultimately Obito ([[DeliberateInjuryGambit intentionally]] let Kakashi run him through the heart to remove Madara's special seal, but was quickly dying and only barely managed to perform the jutsu to seal the Ten Tails inside of him to heal up)]].

* ''[[Fanfic/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K]]'':

* Happens to a villain in an episode of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. His species had a highly decentralized internal body structure that granted them this ability, resulting in a rare use of [[DisintegratorRay a phaser set to "disintegrate"]] by the ''heroes'' on that series. The CGI and ChromaKey needed to accomplish the effect looked pretty impressive for the era.

* Mentioned in the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' episode "Safe", when Shepherd Book is shot. Zoe talks about a soldier she knew in the war who had a hole shot clean through his shoulder that "used to keep a spare hanky in there."
* In ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers,'' the Dragon Zord Fighting Mode's FinishingMove is to use its staff - tipped with the Dragonzord's tail drill - to stab straight through the MonsterOfTheWeek. We get a view of the Zord as if you were looking through the hole from behind the monster until it falls over and only then does DefeatMeansExplosion kick in. The hole shows no sign of the monster ''having'' organs or bone or being anything but solid straight through. The monsters are, of course, [[{{Golem}} clay figures brought to life]], so they kinda aren't supposed to have organs.
** Happens to the zords themselves sometimes. One notable instance was in ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'', where [[TheDragon Diabolico]] [[ChestBlaster shoots a beam from his chest]] and pierces through the Supertrain Megazord.

* ''Series/DoctorWho''

** PlayedForDrama in "World Enough and Time" [[spoiler:when this happens to the Doctor's companion, Bill. She survives, but only at the cost of being converted into a Cyberman.]] It's a WhamShot to show the audience that this is one crisis the Doctor is not going to resolve easily.
* In ''Series/KamenRiderGaim,'' the Pine Arms' FinishingMove is to perform a DivingKick. When Gaim uses this on a [[OneWingedAngel giant]] MonsterOfTheWeek in episode 2, he goes straight through, leaving behind an energy projection of a pineapple ring around the wound, followed by DefeatEqualsExplosion.

* ''Franchise/UltraSeries''

* ''Series/Charmed1998'': In "Styx Feet Under", Paige decides to cast a protection spell on a chaplain the sisters are trying to protect from demons. The spell [[ExactWords prevents him from dying]] but leaves him with a giant hole through his abdomen. The [[{{Psychopomp}} Angel of Death]] makes it clear that the man is doomed and all the spell is doing is preventing his spirit from moving on.

--> '''Johnny Cage:''' [[Film/TheShining Heeeeere's Johnny!]]

* In ''Webcomic/WelcomeToHell'', the main character Sock has a hole through his stomach from where he [[DrivenToSuicide stabbed himself]] before turning into a demon.

* Done in ''Webcomic/RomanticallyApocalyptic''. Snipey is not only fine but also (apparently) the only one to survive the scene. The only things that get mentioned are that "it hurts alot", and that [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he no longer makes a suitable human raft.]]

* In ''Webcomic/MonsterPulse'', the Arma spirit that plunges through the main character's body not only transforms her heart into an independent and sentient creature but leaves her with a glowing hole in her chest where the organ once was. Mainly she keeps her jackets zipped up high and hopes for the best.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Stormbow}}'', the white [[BirdPeople bird creature]] in [[DreamLand Limbo]] somehow [[http://stormbow.webcomic.ws/comics/81/#comicimage gains one]] over the course of chapter 2. She doesn't even notice until [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Adventurer]] points it out.

* Just like the original, ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' has this happen when people are shot.

--> '''Shakespeare:''' I'll put a slug between your shoulder blades / Then ask what light through yonder poser breaks?

* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'':
** In "''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' vs. ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099''", this is the fate of [[spoiler:Miguel O'Hara, thanks to getting three explosive Batarangs [[WhyAmITicking strapped to his chest]] and is unable to remove them before they blow a clean hole in it.]]
** [[spoiler:[[Franchise/MortalKomat Shao Kahn]] suffers a repeat of getting a hole punching in his torso from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' during his battle with [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]] -- only to ''immediately'' (unlike ''9'', where he was in pain and content to fake his death) get up and resume fighting Akuma. Ironically, he proclaims "Flawless Victory" when he defeats Akuma, even though in the games, that's said when a character wins a round without taking damage -- and right before his final blows to Akuma, Akuma was pummeling him and Shao ''still'' had the damn hole in his torso.]]

* ''WebAnimation/{{Alphabet}}'': [[spoiler:P]]'s and [[spoiler:F]]'s deaths via an oversized bullet and a beam leave giant holes in their bodies. Justified, as they're respectively made out of [[spoiler:bubblegum and black goop]].

* On one ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner'' cartoon, Wile E. tries to stop the Road Runner by holding a "triple-strength battleship steel armor plate" in front of him. The Road Runner just rips through the plate, leaving a [[ImpactSilhouette Road Runner-shaped hole]] through it... and presumably through Wile E.'s body as well. Wile E. looks down in shock and tiptoes out of frame.
** Possibly a lampshade since Wile E. seems to realize that this isn't how anatomy is supposed to work.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In one episode, Homer gets his guts ripped out by a badger. [[AmusingInjuries He's fine]].
** Bart, a.k.a. "Stretch Dude", created a hole in his stomach using his rubber powers to dodge The Collector's phasers.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'', Banzai the hyena was once so hungry he said he felt like he had a hole in his stomach. Then he illustrated it by literally pulling his belly into a donut shape.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersWarForCybertronTrilogy'', [[DeathByAdaptation Ultra Magnus]] is shot clean through the torso by Megatron.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FlipTheFrog'' cartoon "The Cuckoo Murder Case", a cuckoo clock cuckoo is shot, and it briefly looks at the neat hole left by the bullet before keeling over. Justified in that it's [[AnimateInanimateObject a wooden bird]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** In the episode "Parasites Lost" Fry gets impaled through the midsection by a pipe after the furnace exploded. After it's removed, we get a view of the hole as the damage is repaired [[ItMakesSenseInContext by the tapeworms that he had eaten earlier]].
** In "The Sting", after Fry is killed by a giant space bee, he visits Leela in her dream. To prove it's really him he sticks his hand through the hole. {{Justified|Trope}} because, well, [[OrWasItADream it's a dream]]. [[spoiler:In reality, this did happen and he survived the impalement, but had to get medical attention and has a large bandage over it the hole.]]
** A side variant occurs in “Fry and the Slurm Factory” where Bender is saved from becoming over a hundred slurm cans… but not fast enough to have a hole punched through his side. Justified, since he’s a robot.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has one-time "historical" gag character Sir Henry "[[MeaningfulName Giant Hole in the Torso]]" Wickenshire, a man who has this as his default living anatomy and is shown to be very effective in a gun duel as a result, especially compared to his onscreen opponent, the equally aptly named Sir Joseph Broadfront.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', General Skarr is shown to have acquired a hole in his torso that he [[NoodleIncident doesn't remember getting]], which seems to disappear partway during his escape from the Grim Reaper, who was chasing Skarr for the very fact that he shouldn't have survived the experience. After escaping, he ponders one of the buttons on his car, which blasts a laser from the steering wheel, bringing the hole back.
-->'''General Skarr''': Oh, now I remember.
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
** Happens to Dipper in "Dreamscaperers", though {{justified|Trope}} because he, Mabel, and Soos were [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind inside Grunkle Stan's head trying to stop a mind-invading demon from stealing the combination to Stan's safe.]]
** In "Weirdmaggedon", Ford tries to take out [[BigBad Bill Cipher]], who's manifested a body after escaping the Nightmare Realm, with a WaveMotionGun but just narrowly misses. The shot hits Bill's hat, which turns out to be ''[[ClothingAppendage part of his body]]'', briefly revealing [[MadeOfBologna a hole full of fleshy innards]] before [[HealingFactor the wound closes up]].
* [[SoftSpokenSadist The Milkman]] from ''WesternAnimation/PennZeroPartTimeHero'' has a body that's entirely made up of milk, making it virtually impossible to harm him. When he gets shot at, his abdomen simply splits to allow the ammunition to pass through and when Penn punches him, his arm ends up going right through his torso.
--> '''Milkman:''' Didn't your mother ever tell you not to put your fist inside someone's chest?
* [[EmotionEater The Changelings]] in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' have this as their [[BodyHorror default anatomy]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' episode "My Family's Full Of Losers", Pfff receives three holes through his body. He is the only one of Ohoh's game show round targets to not escape to the ceiling, as well as being the only one shot by his machine gun. He reacts with [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction his usual tranquility]].
-->'''Pfff''': ''[inserts arm and points finger through one hole]'' That's child abuse.
* In the first SeasonFinale of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', Jackie uses Shendu's own Dragon Talisman to blow a hole straight through his chest. Unfortunately, Shendu still has the Horse Talisman, allowing him to heal the damage in seconds.
* In the sequel episode to their Franchise/JamesBond spoof, ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' suddenly kills off Francine's character by having her being shot to death. She gets a perfect circle shot into her torso, with the middle falling out and her [[BloodyHilarious body ending up wrapped around Stan's body as he tries to shoot her assailant]].
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': In ''Porky's Tire Trouble'', Porky works for a tire factory, making tires with what looks like a giant waffle iron that liquid rubber is poured onto and then squeezed to make a tire. Porky's extremely stupid dog gets into the factory and starts wreaking havoc, much to the dismay of Porky's boss, who starts chasing the dog around the factory. The boss accidentally ends up falling into the tire press and emerges from it with a torso that is a tire, complete with a hole in the middle.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheBoysDiabolical'' episode "Laser Baby's Day Out", Laser Baby does this to a security guard.

* In [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/08/05 the Kickball strip]] from ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'', Tycho kicks the ball so hard, it pierces a hole through Gabe's waist. [[{{Squick}} An intestine can be seen hanging from the hole]].
--> '''Gabe''': All my pieces...my pieces...go back in...go back in...

* ''Fanfic/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K'':
