When an armed grenade lands in the general vicinity, there's just enough time for the heroes to pick it up and throw it back (extra points for blowing up the original thrower), pass it to someone else to deal with it (which leads to them realizing they've just been handed a live grenade and try to pass it onto someone else) or, in the more heroic fashion for when the clock is really low, jump on it. This is, of course, Truth in Television. To avert this trope, the thrower might allow the grenade fuse to 'cook off' a few seconds before throwing so that it explodes right as it's thrown at its intended target and no time for them to evade the blast. This too can have unpredictable results, as the time it takes for fuses to burn is never consistent. Most soldiers are instead trained to lob grenades in a high arc to reduce the chances of the enemy throwing it back by maximizing the time it stays in the air. One possible form of Tennis Boss. When used in Darker and Edgier stories, or when the "hero" happens to be wearing a Red Shirt, it tends to backfire horribly. Subtrope of Hot Potato. See also: Pineapple Surprise. May overlap with Explosive Stupidity. |

In Mosul (2020), two Iraqi policemen with a wounded officer guarding several detained Islamic State drug smugglers are holding out in a café against ISIS fighters. One of the ISIS footmen tosses a grenade into the café, completely uncaring for the lives of his captured comrades. One of the Iraqi policemen quickly picks up the grenade and lobs it back at the sender blowing him up spectacularly. | |

In Sunset Riders, certain enemies will throw lit sticks of dynamite. You have several seconds in which you can pick it up and either throw it back at the attacker or another enemy or simply throw it safely away from yourself. Later on, they replace the dynamite with round bombs that explode on impact, invalidating this tactic. | |

The Simpsons: Played for laughs in "You Only Move Twice", when, as Homer is leaving Scorpio's base in the middle of a battle with the U.S. Military, a cooking grenade lands near Homer's feet and he just casually kicks it away before it explodes. A soldier pulls the pin before delivering an extended And This Is for... speech to the enemy. Key word: extended. |

On MythBusters, they explored several ways to deal with a nearby grenade, including throwing it in a bucket of water or into a fridge (as per the previous example). Most were ineffective but it was shown that training soldiers to throw themselves on a grenade is in fact, an effective way to reduce casualties, since each grenade only kills one person, and the human body is a better shield against fragmentation grenades than most other common objects lying around on a battlefield. A bucket of water would also work fairly well, though the bucket might hurt somebody if it hit them, the water dissipated most of the blast. Another episode covering general explosive myths had them visit the "Grenade being shot out of the air" trope with a pistol, shotgun, and rifle. To their amazement, the Shotgun (Disintegrating it, leaving nothing to explode) and Pistol (Cut it in half, causing the blasting cap to go off ineffectually separate from the payload) both worked perfectly, but the Rifle was busted because the force of the bullet alone set it off. At 2/3, the overall myth was deemed plausible, assuming you could shoot the grenade in midair, a tricky shot for even an expert marksman. Ultimately, you're probably more likely to survive by batting the grenade away with your gun. |

This is possible in Half-Life 2, with or without the Gravity Gun. In Episode Two, taking out a Combine trooper with his own grenade earns you an Achievement ("Hot Potat0wned"). In Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, this can actually get quite ridiculous. Hitting a grenade with a Gravity Gun slightly increases the time before detonation of a grenade. If someone walks up to you, holding a live grenade with his Gravity Gun, it is possible to indefinitely prolong the detonation by shooting against it with your own Gravity Gun. This, however, is very tricky, since not much time is added to the timer, so stopping to shoot against the grenade may make it detonate before you have the chance to run away. Considering it is very tricky to get into this deadlock under natural circumstances, it doesn't happen very often, though some players do have firsthand experience with this. Black Mesa, the Fan Remake of the original Half-Life, has the achievement "Kinetic Repulsion" for killing an HECU marine with his own grenade, which is significantly harder than in Half-Life 2 due to the lack of the Gravity Gun. This is also possible in both Day of Defeat games, even when the original Half-Life did not have the same support. Also, the grenade actually appears in the character's hand, instead of Half-Life 2's floating physics. |

In Board Game Online, this can be done during the bomb random event. Unlike nearly all other explosives, it simply knocks the player unfortunate enough to be holding it back a number of spaces based on how far they had traveled, making late-game bombs enough of a setback that it can completely prevent the player in the lead from winning. | |

Spirit of the Century goes out of its way to give thrown explosives some explicit special-case rules to randomly determine exactly when and on occasion if they go off after landing and everybody's initial (and potentially fairly hard) attempt to dive clear. A character who gets to act before the grenade/stick of dynamite/whatever goes off can try to douse or disarm it, pick it up and throw it elsewhere, heroically leap on top of it, or simply run away as fast as their legs will carry them (possibly dragging or carrying friends along, though that in turn makes getting away oneself more difficult). | |

In World of Warcraft, during the General Pa'valak encounter, at two points, the boss hides inside a shield and summons minions to attack the party while dropping explosives on the players that explode after a few seconds. You can pick up the explosives and either throw them at the shield (weakening it and giving the boss a damage-increasing debuff) and/or throw them at the minions to kill them. A few seconds after landing, though, the explosives arm and cannot be picked up; you must get away from them or take damage. | |

Mario Party: Mario Party 5: One of the modes in the special minigame Beach Volleyball has the series's native Bob-ombs be used as the balls, with their countdown approaching zero with each pass. Super Mario Party: The minigame Lit Potato sees each player along with any ally characters they have all standing in a circle, with certain characters being given bombs. If a player has a bomb in their hands, they can pass it to the player next to them clockwise by pressing a button. When the bombs explode, the character holding them will be eliminated, and this keeps going until only one team remains. |

If a player has a bomb in their hands, they can pass it to the player next to them clockwise by pressing a button. When the bombs explode, the character holding them will be eliminated, and this keeps going until only one team remains. | |

Can be done in Halo if you're sufficiently skilled or lucky. To "return to sender" a grenade, you have to throw a sticky (plasma or spike) on it; this changes the direction of the grenades, as the last force was your throw, allowing both to hit the original thrower (who'll probably call you a hacker). A conventional catch-and-throw-back can happen if a thrown plasma grenade sticks to the spike grenade that you're about to throw back at the plasma grenade's sender. |

A variation happens in the second episode of Band of Brothers: Buck Compton pulls the pin on a grenade and is about to throw it when it slips out of his hand. After bobbling it from hand to hand in an unsuccessful attempt to catch it, he calls "Grenade!" after which he and his squadmates bail out of the trench they were in until it detonates. Except for Joe Toye. Toye, after already having an enemy grenade go off right next to him and survive. Fucking twice indeed. | |

In the rather surrealistic episode of M*A*S*H, "Dreams", one Dream Sequence had Col Potter riding Sofie around a battlefield, and when a grenade is thrown near him, he pulls out a polo mallet (dream sequence, remember), and whacks it back at the throwers. Then it explodes like fireworks. And this was one of the more mundane of the segments of that episode. | |

In Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong, there is a cyberware arm implant called the Magnet Arm. Any character possessing this implant will automatically catch and throw back any grenade that would harm the character, including rounds from grenade launchers. The return throw can miss, but it effectively renders the character immune to grenades. Duncan can gain it for his final level-up bonus in the main campaign, and most of the grenadier and commander enemies in the Shadows of Hong Kong bonus campaign have it standard. | |

Modesty quickly scoops it up and throws it back just as the fuse runs down. In the short story "A Better Day To Die" (part of the Pieces Of Modesty collection), Modesty is attempting to protect a missionary with no combat skills from a gang of bandits. The missionary ends up demonstrating the cricketing skills he had mentioned earlier by making a diving catch of a Mills bomb and throwing it back at the bandits in the manner of a slips fieldsman, with lethal results. |

In Saving Private Ryan Mellish manages to get rid of two German grenades this way. They landed in his lap while he was trying to unjam his rifle, he didn't have much of a choice. A German soldier also pulled this off with an Allied grenade. | |

In Day of Infamy, any thrown grenade can be picked up and thrown back, but watch out for Mills Bombs, which have a slightly shorter fuse than normal, or the No. 69 Grenade which explodes on impact. The soldier will even spout a line or two while doing it. This feature is later ported over to the Insurgency: Sandstorm, which its Source engine predecessor Insurgency lacked. |

In The Rock, the bad guy Marines pitch a grenade at Stanley Goodspeed, who grabs it and tosses it back at them. Later on, one of the bad guys pops the pins and spoons on two grenades, and loudly counts to three before throwing them through the door towards the good guy. It still takes more than five additional seconds for the grenades to explode. | |

The Pyro's airblast in Team Fortress 2 can redirect grenades, along with rockets, arrows, and Jarate. Doing so will change the allegiance of the projectiles to the deflector's team. An unofficial game mode is "Dodgeball", in which a homing rocket is launched, and the players must deflect it to stay alive. This is made harder by the rocket speeding up slightly with each deflection. Last man note or, since it is the pyro, woman, possibly standing wins. | |

While The Punisher oneshot story Return to Big Nothing does not actually feature anyone cooking a grenade, there is a scene pertinent to the trope: The Punisher throws a grenade into a truck full of firearms about to be sold illegally, and as he proceeds to mow down the dealers and their customers, his internal narration counts down from five. The grenade goes off when he reaches one, and Punisher simply remarks, "Short fuse." | |

In Call of Duty 2, NPCs would often throw back grenades, and they would never blow up in their hands unless the player "cooked off" the grenade beforehand. In Call of Duty 3 and onwards, the player could do the same... but lacked the same luck/invulnerability/The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard. Attempting this in multiplayer usually results in getting blown up, due to the fact that most everyone cooks frags before they throw them. Certain perks (Toss Back in World At War and Flak Jacket Pro in Black Ops) can magically reset the fuse on a picked-up grenade, preventing this problem. Grenades can blow up in the hands of NPCs, even without being cooked. (The AI does have an edge, though.) The DS version of Call of Duty: World at War gives you an achievement for accomplishing this entitled "Return to Sender". Ditto for the Medal of Honor series, where the player can also kick back grenades in later games. |

Realising they're still holding a pair of live grenades the goons throw them away, blowing up their own command centre. | |

Zeb gets a bit nervous as the bomb beeps away, but when he is told to throw it, it turns out to be fireworks so everyone is looking up while Kanan plants a real bomb on a TIE fighter. | |

In The Avengers (2012), a group of alien Chitauri soldiers during the invasion of Manhattan have cornered a large number of civilians in a bank. From the second floor, one of them prepares to throw a powerful energy grenade below to kill dozens of people. They get interrupted by Captain America, however, who knocks the grenade out of the Chitauri's hand and starts brawling with them. As the counter on the bomb audibly winds down, one of the Chitauri frantically picks up the grenade and starts turning around to throw it at Cap - who jumps into the air and holds his shield between them. The Chitauri tries to throw the bomb after him - as much to hurt Cap as to just get the grenade away from himself - but he can't even manage to get it out of his hand before it blows up, enveloping the entire second floor of the bank in the explosion and blasting Cap out a window and onto a car below. | |

In episode 270 of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, the characters pass around some dynamite because none of them want to get hurt by the explosion. First the wolves pass it around, but eventually the dynamite gets passed to the goats and then the goats and wolves pass it to each other. Weslie throws the dynamite at Wolffy right before it explodes. | |

Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979) had an example of 'cooking off'. One of the terrorists is about to throw a hand grenade into the hold (having already pulled out the pin) when Telly Savalas (playing the Big Bad) grabs hold of his hand. The mook struggles against his grip in wide-eyed silence for a couple of seconds until Savalas releases him so he can throw the grenade. Incredibly stupid in real life, but it did make Savalas' character look suitably badass and cool under pressure. | |
