Basic Trope: Attacking someone with a cane or other heavy stick.
- Straight: Bob attacks Alice by hitting her with a cane.
- Exaggerated: Bob bludgeons Alice and a whole crowd of people to death using his cane.
- Downplayed: Bob lightly whacks Alice with the cane, but doesn't continue to fight.
- Justified:
- Bob has a cane with him because he's elderly, or otherwise has mobility problems that would require him to carry a cane.
- Alice was attacking Bob; he's hitting her in self-defense.
- Bob is evil and is intentionally attacking Alice with whatever weapon he has nearby.
- Bob's cane has a Cane Sword.
- Inverted:
- Someone destroys Bob's cane.
- Bob hits Alice with his cane and it restores her to perfect health.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: Bob attacks Alice with someone named "Caine."
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Nobody is attacked with a cane.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied:
- Canes cannot be brought into the specific area to prevent incidents like these, with exceptions likely made for those who have legitimate disabilities.
- Bob raises his cane, ready to strike Alice again as she's downed, but she kicks his cane out of his hand, sending it in a place where he can't reach. Commence Good Old Fisticuffs!
