Our good ol' friend Alice, who has absolutely no self-defense skills whatsoever, is walking down an empty street, and suddenly a stranger comes at her at knifepoint and tells her to give him her handbag or else... However, much to the surprise of this mugger, Alice quickly pulls something from her handbag; pepper spray. She proceeds to use it on the mugger, irritating his eyes and temporarily blinding him, giving Alice enough time to flee and alert the police about the attacker. It should be also noted that while most of the time the characters will use pepper spray exclusively to defend themselves, it can also lead to some of them using it as a way of abusing others while calling it self-defense in order to get away with it, using it as Disproportionate Retribution on anyone that pisses them off or who they wrongfully perceive as a threat, and in the worst case, getting over-confident and thinking that the pepper spray will help them take down any threat they face, leading to a disastrous result. Also, if someone like The Ditz, The Klutz, or the Cloudcuckoolander is given pepper spray, chances are that they accidentally end up spraying themselves. Another popular gag with pepper spray is that whomever owns one is a little too paranoid and trigger happy with it, panicking and spraying someone whom was casually greeting them or trying to strike up a conversation with them, being spooked because they were preoccupied being overwhelmed by paranoid thoughts. Pepper spray might also be referred to as Mace in a case of Brand Name Takeover, however it's noteworthy that in works set during the 1980s and earlier Mace usually referred to a brand of (now illegal in most jurisdictions) tear gas, not capsaicin spray. Sometimes, a contrast will be made about the way males and females defend themselves, with men fighting their attackers with their bare fists while women use less combative means of defense, with the most common one being pepper spray. That said, men who defend themselves with pepper spray or other types of non-lethal tools such as mace or tasers are also shown on media, albeit more rarely than women. However, people carrying pepper spray in order to protect themselves from any type of attacker is not exclusive to fiction, especially in the case of women. In real life, many countries encourage women to either take self-defense courses or carry pepper spray with them in case someone tries to attack or force themselves onto them. In more recent times, the U.S. has seen an increase in the number of women that carry pepper spray as a means of self-defense. Importantly, since it is not considered a deadly weapon, it is allowed in places where firearms are prohibited. A Sub-Trope of Eye Scream. |

The Simpsons: In "The Strong Arms of The Ma" Marge is mugged by a homeless man at night in front of the Kwik-E-Mart's restroom, causing her to become paranoid and develop agoraphobia. When she decides to go back to the Kwik-E-Mart to do some shopping the following day, Homer gives her a bag with various self-defense tools, among which is some pepper spray. When Marge gets to the Kwik-E-Mart, her paranoia gets the best of her and she ends up using the pepper spray on Ralph Wiggum when he says "hi" to her, making her panic. In the episode "War of the Simpsons," when Barney approaches Patty and Selma and tries to hit on them, Patty maces him. In "Saturdays of Thunder," at the final soapbox derby, Barney approaches Patty and Selma and tries to hit on them yet again, and he gets pepper-sprayed as a result. |

In Jessie, the titular character pepper-sprays Tony (who had gifted her the pepper spray in the first place) in one episode after hanging out with him for a day under the impression that he was trying to kiss her, not because she didn't want to, but because she remembered what happened to her the last time a man dumped her and panicked. Jessie immediately apologizes for this. | |

Yandere Simulator: Akademi High School has allowed the members of the Student Council to carry pepper spray and restrain anyone who presents a threat to the safety of the students, as the president of the Council suspects of someone dangerous being on school grounds (a.k.a Ayano Aishi, you). If they catch Ayano killing someone or disposing of a corpse, she tries to directly attack them, or she bumps into them too many times, they will pepper-spray and restrain her with zip-tie cables, causing a Game Over. In 1980s mode, the Student Council was also allowed to carry pepper spray and zip-tie cables following the disappearance of Sumire Saitozaki (whom Ryoba Aishi, Ayano's mother, killed and then proceeded to dispose of her body) on school grounds. |

Black Widow's use of it in Iron Man 2 is clearly meant to be comedy that plays on what you expect. Here, we have a woman that has physically defeated several men with skillful weapons or her bare hands, proving that she's more than capable of fighting on equal terms. Then, for the final guy, she doesn't even bother using any of the stuff we just saw. Without even looking at him, she just pepper-sprays him and keeps walking toward her goal. | |

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory: Sarah attempts to defend herself against the imposing mercenary Penn by spraying him with what she thinks is mace. Penn, however No Sells it entirely and mockingly tells her that what she's using is not mace, but pepper spray, taking the canister from her and spraying some into his mouth as he claims it "clears the sinuses" after he got used to it. This scene invokes heavy Artistic License; in reality, pepper spray replaced mace because it's a stronger chemical and it is impossible to build any immunity to it because it causes an immediate biological reaction, making it impossible to see or effectively breathe. All of this was ignored in order to make Sarah vulnerable and make Penn look imposing. | |

Blade (1998): A variation of this trope appears when Blade gives Karen garlic spray, specifically formulated to be harmful to vampires, rather than the traditional pepper spray. Unfortunately the first person she uses it on turns out to be human and therefore unaffected, although she is able to later use it successfully on a vampire. | |

Spider-Man had a Badass Normal sidekick named the Steel Spider for a while who used wrist-mounted pepper spray canisters as a homage to Spider-Man's web shooters. He'd originally been an incompetent nerd who called himself Spider-Boy, but after growing up a bit, working out, and learning how to fight he was shown to be quite effective against normal foes. | |

Twilight: in the film version, Bella tries to escape James by using pepper spray. It appears to annoy him momentarily but is otherwise a No-Sell as he's a vampire. The only reference to pepper spray made in the book version is when Bella is stalked in Port Angeles and notes that she knows exactly where her pepper spray is: in a bag under her bed. | |

Family Guy: Quagmire is pepper-sprayed by a woman, but doesn't even flinch and boasts that he's built up an immunity. In "Brian Goes Back to College", Brian is pepper-sprayed by a female student after asking her if he was in the correct class, with the girl claiming that she has a right to defend herself as a woman. After the girl calms down, she apologizes and explains that she just came back from a seminar about college dating, which made her paranoid that any man on campus would try to rape her. |
