| Crushing Handshake | comment |
Two people, often two men, shake hands. One of the men grips harder than the other one, and the other guy might start wincing or showing signs of clear discomfort. The guy delivering the Crushing Handshake might grin about it, having shown off his superior strength or "manliness". This could be done to show off just that, or as a hint that the other guy doesn't like you, or wants to intimidate you—for instance, if he's a rival for a love interest. Or it could be that he's actually being friendly, but Does Not Know His Own Strength and/or has Cumbersome Claws. When both parties attempt to do this, the results can be embarrassing for one or both, which can be played for laughs. In animated works, expect the victim's hand to be red and pulsing afterwards. The squeeze itself would remind one of a tube of toothpaste: the palm area gets basically empty, all the volume migrating to the fingertips. Can be related to Bear Hug. |

Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats: At the start of the film, T.C.'s latest scam involves the gang posing as "Alley Scouts", who do good deeds for rewards. He starts off by using a fan to blow a man's hat off his head, then pretends to have found it. The man, who sees right through him, responds by "thanking" him with a bone-crushing handshake before telling him to get lost. | |

After greeting him enthusiastically, Booth throws in some not-very-veiled threats about treating the girl right, including mentioning that he used to be a sniper, and finishes off with a handshake that leaves the kid wincing and rubbing his hand. | |

Honor Harrington: The series includes enough characters from high-gravity worlds for the occasional accidental hand-crushing, but it's known to happen deliberately as well. At the first meeting between Klaus Hauptman and Honor, she is surprised to feel him trying to apply a crushing grip since she thought he would be above stooping to such petty displays of power. Since he had forgotten that she is a heavyworlder, she is able to smoothly apply more pressure in turn. | |

In Chapter 43 of BlazBlue Alternative: Remnant, Yang and Penny do this to each other. Yang, initially thinking Penny and Ruby are on a date, does this to Penny when introducing herself to intimidate the girl away, but it has no affect on her besides mild confusion due to her greater Super-Strength and Super-Toughness. Penny, due to a misunderstanding from Ruby, does this to Yang in the same interaction, and unlike Yang's attempt, it actually crushed her hand. | |

Total Drama: After the elimination ceremony in "Runaway Model", Jo is moved over from the Mutant Maggots to the Toxic Rats. This means that she once again is on the same team as Brick, also a former Maggot. They did not part on friendly terms, but Brick's not one to hold grudges and holds his hand out to welcome Jo to his team. Jo takes it, pulls him towards her, counters that she's welcoming him to her team, and crushes his hand in a display of dominance. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022), Knuckles does this to Robotnik, Agent Stone and later Sonic himself. Interestingly, it's neither a case of Does Not Know His Own Strength nor Knuckles trying to be intimidating; he's just told by Robotnik that firmly grasping the hand of someone is how you make an alliance on Earth and Knuckles, well... firmly grasps the hand of whoever he agrees to ally with from then on, unaware that most people do not have hands as sturdy as his. | |

In Aperture Hand Lab, during the handshake exercise with Business Bill, he, after the first handshake, urges the player to give him the stronger one, claiming he can take it. Unfortunately, the player squeezes way too hard, which results in Bill's arm breaking off. And then things go literally downhill, as the entire stage malfunctions and player falls into the chasm. | |

X2: X-Men United: Iceman does this to Wolverine by freezing the older mutant's hand when Rogue introduces them. Bobby is aware that Rogue has a crush on Logan, so he wanted to subtly assert his position as her boyfriend. At another point in the movie, Deathstrike shakes hands with Senator Kelly (Mystique in disguise) and seems to be giving a minor one of these. It's unclear whether it was a Does Not Know His Own Strength situation, or if Deathstrike could sense something was up. | |

Superman: In Superman: Secret Origin, Sgt. John Corben does this to Lois Lane's new co-worker to intimidate him, but considering this is Clark Kent, it doesn't work. Clark Kent's Jerk Jock coworker Steve Lombard tries this on Clark when the two first meet (in Steve's first appearance); Clark of course doesn't really feel anything, but fakes pain anyway to keep Lois from getting suspicious. In Who Took the Super out of Superman?, Clark Kent confirms he has been mysteriously depowered when Steve Lombard visits him in the hospital, wants to test his grip, and Clark is unable to crush his hand. One occasion had Lombard attempt this only for Clark to troll him by ignoring it, no matter how much obvious effort he was making. Lombard stops when it's implied Clark returns the favor, without changing the audacious curt smile on his face. "Superman and Spider-Man": When Peter Parker arrives at the Daily Planet, Steve Lombard shakes his hand, gloating he will try to not squeeze too hard. At the same time, Peter ponders he is talking to a stupid, arrogant bully who does not know Peter can crush steel with his bare hands. A team-up between Superman and Captain Marvel ended with them both attempting this and refusing to admit the other was having any effect, while Mary and Freddy rolled their eyes in the background. |

In Will Of The Empress from the Circle of Magic series, when the mages in Berenene's court introduce themselves to Briar, they play macho games by trying to knock him over with their magic as they shake his hand, which is essentially meant to parallel this trope. | |

Vince McMahon did this at the end of a particularly uncomfortable and tense interview with sportscaster Bob Costas in 2001. McMahon was already visibly rattled by Costas criticizing him for his recent controversies (the failure of the XFL and the infamous "Trish Stratus barks like a dog" segment on WWE Raw), trying to disguise his discomfort by pretending to be overly jovial, ending with a handshake that Costas later reported felt as though McMahon was deliberately trying to crush his hand. It would explain why Costas briefly stopped speaking mid-sentence during the exchange. | |

In Slam Dunk, after the practice match with Ryonan, Sendoh approaches Sakuragi for a handshake, telling him that if he wants to beat him, he'll have to train much harder. Sakuragi grudgingly accepts the handshake, and afterwards we see Sendoh's hand completely swollen, much to his discomfort and Hikoichi's horror. | |

The Rose Tattoo features a variation on this trope. Alvaro, approaching Serafina with seductive words, grabs her hand and presses it firmly against his tattooed chest, and she complains: "But, Mr. Mangiacavallo, that is my hand, not a sponge. I got bones in it. Bones break!" He politely relinquishes his grip on her hand. | |

This is one of the possible humiliation moves in Bully against bigger opponents. After nearly knocking out his opponent, Jimmy will stop the fight and offer a handshake to his opponent, who will bite the bait and have their hand appropiately squeezed and twisted. | |

Pokémon: The Series: In one episode of the first season, Brock and James seem to be doing this during an Enemy Mine moment. Female-to-male example in Journeys. When Ash meets Elite Four Drasna prior to their battle, the two shake hands and she tells Ash that his winning streak ends today, all while keeping a smile in her face. Ash's hand shaking implies she had a pretty strong grip. |

A variant appears in Of Mice and Men; when Curly picks a fight with Lenny, the bigger, mentally handicapped and massively strong Lenny catches Curly's punch and then starts squeezing it as hard as he can in a mixture of fear and anger. Lenny breaks every bone in Curly's hand without even meaning to before his handler, George, can get him to let Curly go. Given the context, nobody blames Lenny for what he did at all. | |

Ciaphas Cain's augmetic fingers have given him the upper hand (ha ha) in regards to this trope. This has become something of a running gag, since genuinely stronger characters keep trying to intimidate him this way only to be surprised by him effortlessly winning. Major Broklaw is shown to also be fond of this, although he too was blindsided by Cain's fingers. | |

In a slight variation, in A Spark of Ice and Fire Queen Cersei Baratheon and Agatha Heterodyne do this to each other in an attempt at faking civility, that only fools King Robert. While both their hands end up painfully white, Cersei ends worse, having to keep her hand in cold water, while Agatha is merely annoyed by the bleeding left by Cersei's nails. | |
