Somebody is working with their head under an object or in a confined space, and they forget where they are. Perhaps they're concentrating on the task at hand, or they're distracted by something else. Then something (often a ringing phone or another person) catches their attention, and they straighten up abruptly, hitting their head. It's a bit like a pratfall on the other end of the body, or a static version of the Low Clearance gag.
Generally, this is Played for Laughs, so the person has a Hard Head and suffers no serious physical injury, though they are quite likely to be sore, flustered or embarrassed. As a result, the person may scold the person who interrupted them, or yell at the ringing phone before answering it. This may also be one way to illustrate that the character is a klutz. On the other hand, the gag may be a way to draw attention to whatever was done or said to cause the person to react this way, or to punctuate the person's surprise.
Common sites for this gag are under furniture or inside a cabinet (say, under the sink in a kitchen or bathroom) and under the open hood/bonnet/trunk lid of a vehicle. May prompt a verbal reaction referring to their new headache. Subtrope to Slapstick and Reaction Shot.

In The Addams Family episode "Cousin Itt and the Vocational Counselor", Lurch bumps his head on the ceiling of Cousin Itt's room more than once (unsurprising, considering he has to stoop nearly double to move around).

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: In "Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson", after spending 20 minutes huddled under a gambling table at a casino, when Daisy and Jemma finally decides to move out, they both first clonk their heads under the table. Understandable considering they're still tripping from an alien drug.

In the Darkwing Duck episode "Time and Punishment", Gosalyn is looking around a horrific alternate St. Canard when she happens upon Launchpad fixing a taxi. She calls to him, causing him to spring up (with good reason, because in this St. Canard, neither he nor Darkwing has seen her for twenty years) and strike his head on the undercarriage of the taxi.

Invoked in a 1983 Garfield strip. Garfield ties himself to a lamp and jumps off the table to swing into Odie's face. The dog jumps and hits his head on the table's underside. Garfield sums the scheme up as complicated but Worth It.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit:
When hiding in the rotgut room at the bar, Eddie keeps banging his head on the ceiling lamp.
When Eddie is Caught with Their Pants Down with Jessica (It's Not What It Looks Like), as he pulls up his pants he bumps his head on Jessica's bosom.
While in Toontown, Eddie bumps his head looking inside Jessica's car, and as Toon Physics are in effect, he gets Circling Birdies around his head.

In Lucky Luke, this can easily happen to Rantanplan, the stupidest dog in the West. Once, he is taking a nap under a horse watering crate (from which Jolly Jumper is drinking), when he hears Luke telling the saloon tenant to feed his horse and give a bone to his dog... and Rantanplan immediately straightens up at the prospect of food and hits his head. Twice.

Murdoch Mysteries:
After a seance in "Elementary, My Dear Murdoch", a skeptical Murdoch is on his knees under the seance table looking fruitlessly for mechanical tricks with Arthur Conan Doyle watching him. The psychic enters the room and says, "Have you found the hidden levers, Detect—" He straightens up and hits his head on the table, and the psychic continues, "Oh good heavens, are you all right?" Murdoch rises to his feet and says, "Fine, fine." Doyle is clearly amused, covering a smirk by stroking his mustache.
In "The Spy Who Came Up to the Cold", Higgins and Crabtree are under a fixture at a murder scene dismantling a piece of equipment and arguing over the disappearance of Crabtree's fancy new pen. As they're trading insults, Murdoch enters and says, "Gentlemen?" to get their attention and inquire about their progress. Both constables straighten up at the same time and hit their heads, effectively ending their tiff for the moment.

M*A*S*H episode "There's Nothing Like a Nurse" sees part of the cast take cover in Henry's office upon hearing an air raid siren. When Radar checks out the window, he reports that the plane in the air is none other than the inept bomber known to the camp as "Five o'Clock Charlie". Henry, hiding beside his own desk, rises to express his outrage only to crack his head on the pull-out panel he frequently uses as a foot rest.

In Mary Poppins, George Banks is looking in the fireplace for the children's notice for a nanny that he threw there (which Mary has just produced). His wife enters and calls his name, causing him to bang his head on the fireplace. In a scene immediately prior, he had already bumped his head for much the same reason when Mary asked if he'd lost something.

This was a hazard both in and out of universe when filming The Lord of the Rings:
During the scene in The Fellowship of the Ring where Gandalf visits Bilbo in his hobbit hole, Gandalf, stooping, accidentally backs into a chandelier (as part of the script). His actor Ian McKellen then promptly turns and accidentally smacks his head on the roof, an (unscripted) accident so funny that they left it in.
In the gag reel for The Fellowship of the Ring, this happens also to the crew. Everyone's sitting inside the hobbit hole listening to directions, then when the meeting ends they all stand up and hit their heads on the roof. Then everyone falls to the floor.

In Cheaper by the Dozen, Dad has recently pulled a practical joke on his children, telling them to look in the engine for a bird and then honking the horn loudly. One day when Dad is having to fix the car after a family picnic, one of the younger children sneaks into the car and presses the horn, causing him to hit his head on the hood and burn his wrist on the exhaust pipe.

This happens twice in The Cannonball Run, both with the characters working on an engine and hitting their heads on the hood. First, it happens to J.J. when Victor mentions... "Him". Later, it happens to Victor when Blake taps him on the back.
