* One of the [[WeirdnessMagnet Wild Wasteland]] encounters of ''FalloutNewVegas'' has The Courier being ambushed by a gang of old biddies armed with rolling pins and knives. They're about as threatening as they sound, especially since the player character should be pretty well-armed by this point.

* ''MadMen'' provides a disturbing example when Layne Pryce's father Richard, who [[spoiler:hits his grown son upside the head with a cane and threatens to break his fingers--all because Layne doesn't want to go back to England and has started dating a black woman.]] The [[DeliberateValuesDissonance attitudes are right for the generation]], but even then, it comes off as pretty harsh. It's enough to make it somewhat surprising that Pryce turned out as as stable and sympathetic as he did given his upbringing, instead of totally screwed up, given the series' norms (on the other hand, [[StiffUpperLip perhaps not]]...).
