You wouldn't know it from fiction, but getting an electric shock will not normally render you unconscious.note It is possible to be rendered unconscious after a severe electric shock, just not likely — if it's a serious enough shock to do that, then unconsciousness will be the least of your problems. Permanent impairment or death can occur at shocks much milder than that. If you've ever tried sticking a fork in an outlet, you already know this. If not, do not try it. You will not fall asleep, you will just get a nasty shock. You might lose consciousness if struck by lightning... but it's unlikely you will ever wake up. Electricity in the right amount to incapacitate you without killing you will do so not by making you unconscious but by causing muscle contractions. ECT is done under general anaesthesia, so people who didn't know about the drugs and saw unconscious patients might have assumed the electrical shocks were responsible. Compare Electroconvulsive Therapy Is Torture for another misconception about electricity. Supertrope to Static Stun Gun. Often happens with Shock and Awe. Compare/contrast Lightning Can Do Anything. Another unrealistic depiction of electricity is Slow Electricity. A character might give a goofy grin just before they pass out. Subtrope of Harmless Electrocution. Examples |

Underdog tries to thwart Electric Eel during a robbery. However the Eel lures Underdog into an electric field, which saps his strength and leaves him in a heap, though conscious. Underdog weakly begs not to be thrown into a lake, so the Eel does exactly that. This was some Briar Patching by Underdog, as the electric charge in his body gets dissipated by the water, restoring him to health. | |

Screen Rant Pitch Meetings: While pitching Wonder Woman 1984, the Screenwriter says that during the fight between Barbara—"who, by the way, is a cat now"—and Diana, Barbara will get electrocuted and go to sleep. When the Producer assumes Barbara dies, the Screenwriter says no, when cats get electrocuted, they just get "a little sleepy". He recalls when his childhood cat chewed through an electrical cord, his dad said that the cat went to sleep and then went to live on a farm and he never saw him again. | |

Frequency: The Nightingale killer tracks Frank to a police station interrogation room just as Frank sets off the building's fire sprinklers. When the killer steps through the door, Frank throws a stripped live wire into the puddle he's standing in, shocking him into unconsciousness while Frank escapes. Ironically, the killer is woken by the sprinklers about a minute later and gives chase. | |

Hei in Darker than Black uses his electricity power to render people unconscious at times. In one case he actually pretended to have a taser, because he wasn't disguised at the time. In the finale, he learns that his power is actually quantum manipulation of matter, so it might have worked that way because he expected it to. | |

Unfortunately, he gets trapped in the malfunctioning automated doors of the building and in his attempts to get out, uses a rod against the opening mechanisms of the doors, giving him an electric shock and zapping him unconscious. | |

Person of Interest. Averted in "Cura te Ipsum". Dr. Tillman is planning to kidnap and murder serial rapist Andrew Benton. She zaps him with a taser and he is almost immediately on the floor, but then Tillman follows this up by administering a drug via nasal spray that knocks Benton out long enough for her to restrain him in a wheelchair and wheel him to her van. | |

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Towards the beginning of the episode "Truth", Bucky Barnes ends up being thrown into a power grid during a fight. After the power grid shocks him with electricity, he is knocked unconscious for a brief period of time. However, the trope is downplayed in that it was also the force of the impact that knocked him out, not just the electrical shock. | |

The Iron Giant follows a panicked Hogarth into an electric substation and the robot gets tangled in the high-voltage lines and screams in pain as the electricity starts frying it. Hogarth is able to trip the circuit breaker, shutting down the substation but the power surge shorts out the Iron Giant and he collapses. As Hogarth starts examining the huge robot, it reboots and sits upright, startling the boy. The trope is played with because as a mechanical device, the robot does not get knocked out per se, but rather shuts down and reboots. | |
