In a society where people, by and large, agree not to engage in random acts of violence with each other, a story can be restricted by the fact that, well, everybody's kind of agreed not to engage in random acts of violence with each other. The Glove Slap is an end-run around this. The process of slapping someone with High-Class Gloves is in itself so polite and dignified that it somehow seems socially acceptable that the natural outcome of the slap is a Duel to the Death. Well, that's the theory anyway. A long time ago, the trope might have been used like this. But these days it's only the stuff of laughter and parody. Chiefly, no doubt, because the chances that the duel will actually be fought are low. (People who wield guns have tended to be much less chivalrous in the post-Victorian era.) Most of the time this trope is used in such a way that accents the absurdity of the formality. Characters who otherwise have no problem with overt acts of hostility will treat the glove as being somehow significant while still recognizing that the Glove Slap means that everything is now no holds barred. Historical, or appropriate futuristic or fantasy, settings can still play this in earnest, particularly among the elite. The idea seems to be that the blow is brazen enough to be an unignorable insult, but light enough not to be seen as a sucker-punch. Often accompanied by such lines as "Sir, you have insulted my honor!" or "I demand satisfaction!" Compare with Throwing Down the Gauntlet (this trope's Real Life predecessor); also compare and contract Dope Slap, when this is done against someone for doing or saying something foolish, and Zen Slap, when a spiritual mentor gives a slap to their disciple for the purpose of enlightening them. Can be played for injurious laughs in a cartoon by using Weighted Gloves. Not to be confused with Glove Snap. |

Tom and Jerry, episode Duel Personality - Jerry gets sick of the chase in one episode, somehow lands inside a glove drawer, motions Tom to stop and proceeds with the glove slap after which they seem to agree to a series of organized feuds involving cannons and slingshots. After the battles are over and Tom is again chasing Jerry in the same way as before, Jerry glove slaps Tom again, except this time Tom takes the glove and slaps Jerry over and over when chasing him. | |

The Simpsons: The episode "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)", where Homer is inspired to do it by a Zorro movie and keeps it up once he realizes people will just give him what he wants because they don't want to duel. He receives his comeuppance (and the rest of the episode's premise) when he slaps an actual Southern Gentleman in the course of slapping a long line of people. Later in the episode, the Simpsons have fled their home to avoid the duel and come across Jimmy Carter working on Habitat for Humanity. Homer, obviously not having learned anything, tries to needle him into building him a house; Carter pulls out a glove and Homer screams and drives away as fast as he can. |

Looney Tunes: In "Knights Must Fall", Bugs Bunny reacts to such a challenge from a knight by yanking the knight's steel gauntlet off and smacking him with that. "Hare Trimmed" has Bugs load his glove with a brick for the return slap he gives to Sam. In "Jack Wabbit and the Beanstalk," Bugs takes his gloves off and slaps the giant's face, challenging him to a duel. Parodied in "Porky Pig's Feat", Porky and Daffy from the 1940s, where Daffy, after being slapped and challenged by the manager of the Broken Arms Hotel ("You have insulted me! We meet on the field of honor! My Card."), he returns suit ("You have insult me! We meet on the field of onion!") and slaps back with a horseshoe-stuffed glove, and then slaps him in the face with flypaper ("My Card, you cad!"). Foghorn Leghorn does this to a genetically-enhanced rooster with his comb in "Cock-a-Doodle-Duel". |

In an episode of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Barry Kripke are disputing who gets to move into a recently vacated office. Sheldon finally tells him, "I challenge you to a duel. I'd smack you with a glove but I've packed all my winter clothes away." In a later episode, the gang takes up fencing in a class taught by Barry after Sheldon and Amy break up. When Barry finds out about the breakup and expresses interest in Amy, Sheldon again challenges him to a duel, but he ends up slapping Leonard with his fencing glove. |

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "No Pictures, Please", Patrick is angry that the bus depot doesn't sell balloons, so he puts on two gloves, then pulls one of them off and slaps the ticket clerk with it. | |

Team Fortress 2 has the Hot Hand as a melee weapon for the Pyro. It's a rubber glove that grants a speed boost upon slapping an opponent with it. It even announces that the player got a "SLAP KILL!" in the killfeed when an enemy dies to it. | |

A solution to a puzzle in The Curse of Monkey Island, where you have to prove to a dapper pirate that you're a gentleman. And he'll only accept that you are one if you can take him in a duel. And he won't duel you until you serve him with the proper insult (and apparently just calling him a doody-head isn't insulting enough). |

Wakamatsu from Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun plans on doing this to his tormentor, Yuzuki Seo. Unfortunately, the only gloves he was able to find were a pair of cute mittens, and he's far too polite to actually hit anyone, so he winds up just giving her a pair of mittens. This, coupled with his shoujo manga addiction causing him to seal his letter of challenge with a heart shaped sticker and claiming he wishes Seo were more like her own secret persona as "The Lorelei of the Choir Club", results in Seo walking away from the meeting convinced they've started dating. | |

Played straight in the Enemy at the Door episode "The Prussian Officer". Reinicke challenges the aristocratic Prussian officer von Bulow to a duel by slapping him in the chest with his gloves in front of their fellow-officers, after von Bulow humiliates him (and inadvertantly gets the woman he loved killed). | |

This is the custom in Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor for a magician to challenge another to a duel. It is specifically done with the left glove, as the left hand is better for casting magic (being closer to the heart). The light novels clarify that this is seen as an outdated tradition even in the setting, with alternative methods of resolving conflict being preferred. | |

Cyrano de Bergerac: Invoked by Christian and Cyrano, but neither of them plays it straight: At Act I scene III, Christian wishes to throw his glove at De Valvert, but then... At Act I scene IV, Cyrano talks about it to provoke De Valvert... and also because Cyrano is so poor he doesn't have gloves. |

In 1632, when Chip (an American from the year 2000) feels a downtimer (1632 German) Alex Mckay has stolen "his" girlfriend, he slugs Alex. Alex (a VERY experienced military man who had his teeth fixed by a modern dentist without any anesthetic) then takes this as an obvious request for a duel. Upon seeing Alex is serious (he draws a sword and offers Chip the use of another of his swords), Chip runs in terror. Chip gets no sympathy from his friends, as they point out he was Bullying a Dragon. | |

Parodied in "Porky Pig's Feat", Porky and Daffy from the 1940s, where Daffy, after being slapped and challenged by the manager of the Broken Arms Hotel ("You have insulted me! We meet on the field of honor! My Card."), he returns suit ("You have insult me! We meet on the field of onion!") and slaps back with a horseshoe-stuffed glove, and then slaps him in the face with flypaper ("My Card, you cad!"). | |
