  • Beavis and Butthead take groin shots to a philosophy class. After one lengthy debate over a music video on the purpose of testicles, Beavis promptly ends the discussion by kicking Butt-head in the crotch, stating "See? That's what nads are for."
Cquote1

 Buzzcut: You wanna see a man, boy? I'll show you a man! (widens stance) Kick me in the jimmy!

Butt-head: N-no way--

Buzzcut: I said do it!

(Butt-head kicks Buzzcut in the nuts, just as he was asked.)

Buzzcut: (grunts loudly) Yes! Do it again! Do it hard!

(This time, Butt-head steps back and lands the entire sole of his shoe into Buzzcut's crotch.)

Buzzcut: (grunts even louder, face beet red for a few seconds) YES!

Butt-head: Whoa! That was cool!

Cquote2
  • The episode of King of the Hill titled "Bobby Goes Nuts" has Bobby take a women's self defense class and, well, you can guess what happens from there. Remains fully faithful to the trope in that Bobby attempts it on his mother, and she dismisses the kick with a smirking: "That's right, I believe you'll find that I have no testicles!"
Cquote1

 Khan: She's bluffing! Finish her!

Cquote2
    • Bobby's signature war cry: "That's my purse! I don't know you!"

  • In "The List" episode of South Park, Cartman comes up with "Operation: Cannot Possibly Fail", to steal the titular list from the girls. This involves one of the boys kicking the girl carrying The List in the balls and taking it.
Cquote1

 Cartman: Okay, our mission failed, but we've learned a lot. Primarily that girls do not have balls.

Butters: [with a black right eye and his right arm in a sling] They sure don't.

Cartman: Never mind, because we are going to Plan B, one that I call "Operation: Cannot Possibly Fail A Second Time."

Cquote2
    • It becomes increasingly funny due to the looks of growing horror on the boys' faces when they don't get the expected results.
    • Also: "GODDAMMIT, BUTTERS! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SHOOTING GUYS IN THE DICK!?"
    • "roshambo-ing". A "Cartman Roshambo" involves two guys taking turns and kicking each other in the nuts. Whoever is unable to stand up anymore loses. Obviously, these matches tend to be rather short.
    • The boys' game of "I'll kick you in the nuts!" in "Here Comes the Neighborhood". And early!Cartman's repeated threats to kick people "squa' in the nuts".

  • In The Fairly Odd Parents episode "Frenemy Mine", after Timmy saves Vicky's life, she gets kicked out of B.R.A.T.

Fed up, Timmy does humiliating things to Vicky and manages to turn her back to her normal, cruel self by hitting her with a wrecking ball. The newly restored Vicky then proceeds to humiliate Timmy back, and one of the ways was a golf club to his groin.
  • The Simpsons features this trope in many episodes:
    • "Bart Star": Bart, wearing a cup, goads Milhouse into kicking his crotch. Milhouse repeatedly does so, to which Bart merely yawns. Eventually:
Cquote1

  Marge: Milhouse, stop that!

Cquote2
    • The infamous "Man Getting Hit by Football" short film shown in the film festival episode "A Star is Burns". Homer, upon seeing it, says "The contest is over, give that man the $10,000!", even though it was pointed out that this wasn't Americas Funniest Home Videos. Homer replies, laughing the whole time, "but... the ball... his groin... it works on so many levels!"
      • Homer is apparently the only one who finds it funny.
      • At the end of the episode, Homer's comedic taste is vindicated when a remake of the film starring George C. Scott wins the Best Actor Oscar.
Cquote1

 George: Aaahh! My groin!

Cquote2
      • Jay Sherman also got hit by a football in the same episode.
Cquote1

Cquote1

 Homer (skiing, accidentally doing the splits, Tempting Fate): "Owww, my legs! This is the worst pain ever!" (receives several additional Attacks from moguls as he passes not-quite-over them)

Cquote2
    • In "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes", an episode spoofing The Prisoner, Homer returns home only to be attacked by his own German body double. As the evil Homer tries to strangle him, Homer counters with this attack, reasoning that "If I know me, he won't like being kicked in the crotch!"
    • In "Homer to the Max", The "fat and stupid" version of the 'fictional' Homer Simpson (From the show 'Police Cops'), falls from a great height and lands on a cactus.

    • In an unusual female example, Marge knees a female child therapist in the crotch. Appropriately, the woman crumples over in pain.
    • In a Treehouse of Horror segment Professor Frink kills his father this way as the only organs he didn't have were testicles.

    • Comic Book Guy gets kicked in the crotch by Nelson in the episode "Lisa the Drama Queen", and Krusty gets bombarded by snowballs to the nuts in the episode "Simpsons Christmas Stories".
    • Although it's offscreen in "Lisa's First Word" when a toddler Bart jumps off the tv trying to land on a sleeping Homer's stomach, when Bart makes the jump it implies he jumped a little too low and it cuts to Homer screaming in pain.
    • Subverted slightly in "Beyond Blunderdome", as during shooting of Rainier Wolfcastle's Saving Irene Ryan (Which Homer, Mel Gibson, and studio executives interrupted due to a chase between the executives and Homer/Gibson in regards to an edited film), Rainier's character is carrying Irene Ryan through a battlefield while she's kicking and screaming, and it is implied that she's kicking him in the crotch, yet his only reaction is "...and stop kicking me there!"
    • In "Million Dollar Abie", Bart is helping Grandpa train to be a bullfighter by pretending to be the bull, using a pair of horns strapped to his bicycle's handlebars. He misses Abe, but heads right for Homer, who's bent over trying to pick up a lucky penny that he found on the sidewalk. Bart manages to brake in time, but then Homer turns around and walks groin-first into the horn, complete with a cartoonish "doink" sound effect, and falls over clutching at himself.
    • "The Greatest Story ever Doh'ed": Bart gets groined by Dorit, the daughter of Jakob the tourist, and from Lisa herself; both in the art of Krav Maga.

Colonel Burns gets the hint and flees, although not before swearing revenge.
  • Robot Chicken
  • A musical "Ode to the Nut Shot," played a mélange of — you guessed it — nut shots to the finale of The 1812 Overture, and finished with an orchestra pit musician running up to swing his saxophone into the conductor's groin.
    • The Christmas episode starring Goku and Gohan of Dragon Ball fame. The Nutcracker has a moveset of over 100 testicle based attacks. Poor Gohan gets hit with attack # 49, which causes him to shout, "OWWW! MY DRAGON BALLS!" upon hit (He also believes one of them "popped". Ouch.).
    • During Composite Santa's rampage, he kicked a rabbi "right in the Matzah Balls."
    • The "Ted Turner as Captain Planet" sketch. "Protect the environment, or I'll f***ing kill you!"

Cquote2
    • He-Man proved that this move was just as effective against women when he declared that "one in the hand is worth two in the BUSH" as he punted Evil-Lyn between her legs
    • What Bob Barker did to Snoop. Plus, all those dogs, cats, racehorses, pandas.... Snoop got a shot on Barker too, but it didn't bother him too much.
    • In "Idle Nuts", a man agreed to have his nuts run over by a car for $2 million. The doctor could do a transplant for $2 million plus tax. He only had the nuts of a serial killer to work with, so the trope was Inverted Trope when the groin started attacking others. Jessica Alba also makes an appearance.
Cquote1

 "You know, I'd want to attack you with my nuts even if they weren't possessed."

Cquote2
  • Officer Lucky Piquel, Bonkers D. Bobcat's fat, human partner from Disney's Bonkers, gets hit in the crotch in an episode called "Hamster Houseguest". At one point, he is hanging on to the bottom of a helicopter as it flies down an alley. A tow truck dives past in the opposite direction, and Lucky, looking panicked, pulls his legs in tightly, narrowly avoiding getting smacked in the nuts by the crane at the back. He looks back with relief, only to have a palm tree whack him in the groin. Afterwards, he sports a goofy expression, with crossed eyes and a wavy mouth. His efforts were not entirely wasted; at least he didn't take it in the cojones twice in a row.
    • In episode 1, when Bonkers slips on a banana peel, he slides across the room and in between Piquel's legs. In the second episode, Bonkers bounces up and down on Lucky's belly, and Lucky changes positions while Bonkers is still in the air. As a result, he lands on Lucky's lap.
  • The Disney cartoon Goof Troop has a surprising amount of groin hits. In the episode "Midnight Movie Madness" Pete falls two stories from a ladder and lands groin-first on a tree branch. In "Everything's Coming Up Goofy", PJ slides down a banister and slams into the bottom knob. In "Take Me Out Of The Ball Game", PJ gets hit in the crotch twice by baseballs fired out of a pitching machine at full speed. In the episode "From Air To Eternity" Pete narrowly blocks getting jabbed in the crotch with a walking stick by an old lady. And in "Hot Air", when he, Max, and Goofy are up in the air, with Pete's legs tied to the back of a plane and Goofy and Max are hanging onto his arms, Goofy walks across him to get the pilot, and accidentally stands on Pete's nads.
    • This show seems to have tons of 'em. In "Maximum Insecurity", when PJ and Max are sliding through a waste pipe chasing after Chainsaw, Max stops himself when he reaches the end of the pipe by grabbing onto the sides. Unfortunately, PJ comes straight out after, and crotch-slams Max out of the pipe. Funny how it only ever happened to Pete and PJ...
  • Another Disney cartoon that features a crotch-shot is Tale Spin. In the episode "Bullethead Baloo", Professor Buzz gets caught on a rocket, which flys around his lab, before crashing into Baloo's stomach, slamming him into a wall. Then, Buzz follows up by crashing into Baloo, and his beak hits him right in the groin, causing him to yelp.
  • Happens to Donald Duck in the Quack Pack episode "Snow Place To Hide".
  • Mickey Mouse gets dragged along a fence in the Mickey Mouse Works short "Mickey's New Car".
    • And in the classic 1930 short "The Chain Gang", where the poor mouse even yelps to the beat of the background score as the fenceposts hit him.
      • In another 1930 short, "Pioneer Days", Mickey gets into a scuffle with the Indian chief. At one point, while struggling to pull a knife away from him, Mickey kicks him in the groin several times; this is probably the very first use of an intentional Groin Attack in a cartoon.
  • Mickey's overweight foe Pete gets hit in the crotch during several classic Disney cartoons. In "Two Gun Mickey", Mickey accidentally bodyslams Pete in the balls after he tries to kick Mickey off a cliff. The spur on Pete's peg leg gets caught on Mickey's belt, causing him to spring back and slam into Pete's family jewels. In "Shanghaied", Mickey stabs Pete in the groin with a swordfish, and later on Pete falls onto a lamp crotch-first, his weight causing it to bend. In "Klondike Kid", Pete gets hit in the nuts by trees three times. He gets hit again in "The Mad Dog" as his crotch slams into a lamp post, sliding him to the top where he smashes all of the lamps with his groin.
    • It seems that Mickey himself is also on the receiving end in the episode "Klondike Kid". In the fight scene with Mickey and Pete bouncing on springs, Pete finally lands a blow by punching Mickey in the crotch which sends him flying into a cuckoo clock.
  • In Disney's Marsupilami episode "The Hairy Ape", when Mars and Norman are sliding down a bank towards a river, Norman smacks his crotch off a rock and lands in the water.
  • Avoided (by a few centimetres) in a Darkwing Duck episode. Since it was an axe involved, surely Darkwing appreciates the fact that it didn't hit, but the look on his face in the episode ("Life, the Negaverse, and Everything") suggested it was a concern.
  • In an episode of Yin Yang Yo called "Gone A Fowl", Master Yo gets kicked hard in the crotch whilst fighting with a clown, and is knocked through the air, landing on top of a parked truck.
  • Batman the Animated Series
    • Poison Ivy kicked The Joker in the balls after his attempt to poison her failed - and she kicked him hard enough to knock him onto his back. He gives out a high-pitched remark before collapsing again. He does recover rather quickly.
    • It happened to him again while fighting the Phantasm in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. And again in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Maybe it's Crotch Guided Karma for his regular atrocities against humanity.
    • Another episode features Robin nut-punching one of Ra's Al Ghul's cronies. You don't actually see the impact, but the look on the mook's expressive mask is unmistakable.
    • Batgirl gives a thug a kick to the junk in Batman and Mister Freeze Sub Zero.
  • In The Batman vs. Dracula, Vicki Vale knees Oswald Cobblepot AKA the Penguin between the legs after he tried to apprehend her.
  • Batman Beyond
    • In the pilot, Terry escapes from Mr. Fixx by kicking him in the nads.
    • Terry himself was also subject to a Groin Attack in Return of the Joker. During the fight in the night club with the Jokerz, one of the Deedee twins grabs him while the other kicks him in the balls with a flying jump kick before restraining him for a punch from Chucko. His back was turned when the attack was delivered so it wasn't actually seen, but the doink sound effect and Terry groaning in agony while collapsing to his knees makes it very obvious.
  • In Batman: Under the Red Hood a younger Jason Todd kicks The Riddler in the nuts and later threatens to put a cap between Joker's legs.
  • Wonder Woman kicks Granny Goodness in the fork during Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.
  • In one episode of the short-lived MTV cartoon Downtown, the groin attack is attempted by two characters on what they think is a creepy stalker guy. It's actually a creepy stalker girl (and the best friend of one of them...don't ask), who promptly reverses the attack with more success. The kickee falls down gasping, "Always go for the balls...just like my mom taught me."
  • In an episode of Dexters Laboratory Dexter gets hit in the nuts with a dodgeball and spends the whole day holding his crotch.
  • On The Venture Brothers, The Monarch threatens the crotches of the Venture family with the DREADED CANDIRU! A naughty little fish with a penchant for swimming directly up the human urethra! ...But Mother Nature beats him to it with a groin attack of her own.
    • In a later episode, Brock tortures one of Baron Ünderbheit's Mooks by squeezing his testicles to get him to give away the Baron's location. In a case of Crosses the Line Twice, this causes him to notice that the mook has a lump in one testicle. The victim then tells him where the Baron is, figuring nothing matters to him any more.
    • In Season 4's "Handsome Ransom", the Monarch does this on Dr. Venture when they try to make a deal for $10 million in exchange for the titular brothers; instead, the supervillain decided to take the money "the Monarch way".
    • The Murderous Moppets in "Shadowman 9 In the Cradle of Destiny". They take out Henchman 21 & 24, as well as about a dozen other henchman, by kicking them all in their crotches.
    • In another episode, Hank Venture tries to dry out his crotch with a bathroom's hand dryer, but holds it there too long and his pants ignite. Dean tries to beat out the fire and ends up repeatedly striking his crotch.
  • You might think that robots would be invulnerable to crotch kicks. Beast Wars' Rattrap demonstrates otherwise... on Waspinator.
    • Twice.
  • Total Drama Island has one or more of these in practically every episode.
    • It becomes a little heart breaking in season 3, when Owen says that he regrets breaking up with Izzy, and misses the way she would kick him in the 'kiwis' constantly.
    • In the 3rd season finale, Heather and Alejandro make-out for about 5 seconds, then Heather kicks him in the groin and pushes him onto an ice cube, letting him slide down the volcano, making him lose.
  • In an episode of Rocko's Modern Life Rocko is picking berries for himself, Heffer, and Philburt to eat after getting lost in the woods. After picking a few he grabs one and a loud scream is heard and a bear clutching his groin in pain runs him over.
  • Family Guy has quite a few of these. Whenever Peter fights the Giant Chicken, he's always guaranteed to take at least one. In fact, almost every fight scene Peter's in usually has at least one groin shot. So far Peter has been nailed by: Lois, Brian, Giant Chicken, Joe, and some random Jewish guy in a cutaway gag. He's probably had some more but I can't remember.
    • Brian has also been kicked by Stewie for insulting his favourite TV show, Jolly Farm Review.
    • In a nice bit of Medium Blending one cutaway had Peter scolding Scat (from the movie Ice Age) for touching his "frozen nuts" (acorn stuck in ice). Scat responds by attacking him.
Cquote1

 Peter: AAHH MY NUTS! MY NUTS!

Cquote2
  • American Dad subjects Stan and Steve to these every now and then.

The aftermath with Sugamama and Penny's Teacher winning the award also has Oscar lying on a stretcher passing by with one of his legs extended in the air, making it quite apparent as to what happened.
