A Sub-Trope of Made of Iron, perhaps its most common usage. Whether in a Tap on the Head situation, Use Your Head, or any other, getting hit on the head has no lasting effects whatsoever. If you clobber The Hero, the villain, or assorted small fry, they may be very, very dizzy or even out for a while but they will never suffer worse than a headache once they wake up — unless Easy Amnesia is needed. All right, you can also have Circling Birdies if you want. But nothing else.
In short, fictional head injuries are no worse than inconvenient, so have as many as you want.
This is in no way Truth in Television. A blow to the head is probably the worst way to render someone unconscious, especially if you're trying to do it "gently". Injuries from even relatively light blows can be serious, permanent, or even fatal. Whether or not you'll actually knock the person out is something of a crapshoot as well. As a rule of thumb, anyone who's involuntarily unconscious for more than a few seconds has a concussion and needs immediate medical attention to ensure they don't have an epidural haematoma or some other time-bomb of a brain injury. In short: If you hit them in the head hard enough to knock them out, they stand a good chance of dying very quickly. A person who appears fine often subverts the trope by abruptly falling down dead.
Sometimes hand-waving by having the characters treat it as potentially serious and even lethal, but a statistically improbable number of characters turn out to be lucky and suffer no serious damage. A common source is the Cranial Plate Ability.
See How Many Fingers?.
Can sometimes be justified in cases of alien biology, superpowers, or artificial enhancement.
Not to be confused with Hollow-Sounding Head, Use Your Head, or Bald Head of Toughness. Super-Trope to 'Tis Only a Bullet in the Brain, for cases of the head injury in question being a shot to the head. See also Can-Crushing Cranium, when the trope actually works.

Happy Days: In the episode where the restaurant burns down due to Chachi being, well, Chachi, Fonzie and the gang are trapped in the bathroom, and the Fonz gets the bright idea to open up a pathway by putting on his motorcycle helmet and bashing a hole in the wall. After crashing through the wall, he pulls his head out, and one of his friends asks what the wall was made out of because it broke so easily. The Fonz calmly replies "Concrete" and falls unconscious. Other than knocking himself out, he suffered no injuries from headbutting through a concrete wall.

Played straight in Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, where Batman, being against killing, gets rid of the thugs by combat, which consists of many kinds of strikes, some to the head, and takedowns, which include bone breaking and hitting heads against the floor, letting the enemies lie "unconscious" but totally still on the floor, just breathing and with a blood pressure half the normal. Also, if Batman had decent medical skills, he would surely be aware of the fatal effects of hits to the head.

Hawkeye: Hawkeye: Blind Spot plays this trope somewhat realistically (at least at first). Hawkeye is dealt a head injury during a battle with Ronin, and the resulting brain damage is severe enough that he slowly starts going blind. Of course, since Status Quo Is God, the hero is cured by the end of the story.

Parodied in The Gamers. The characters try to knock their friend unconscious, so his "paralysing fear of water" won't get in the way as they cross a shallow river. They try a few times, in vain, with him losing health points every time, till eventually, one character lands in such a strong hit, that he is "very unconscious". But unfortunately, as the player counts the hit points his character lost, it also turns out he is dead. The blow killed him.

Dexter: Dexter headbutts Doakes in the face and walks away apparently unaffected by the impact. The only effect on Doakes is to infuriate him into attacking Dexter — in front of everyone else. Then again, Dexter probably didn't ram Doakes very hard, as the point of the attack was to provoke and not to injure Doakes.

In 8-Bit Theater, Fighter is a master of the ram technique of Zodiac Kenshido, which consists of breaking your opponent's equipment with your head before he breaks your head with his equipment. He also gets stabbed a lot, and once broke through the Armoire of Invincibility with his head (cheap particle board base notwithstanding). In some cases, getting hit/stabbed/shot in the head has made Fighter smarter.

Wonder Woman Vol 1 & Sensation Comics: Back in the Golden Age comics there was at least one Tap on the Head doled out per story, often to the entirely human Steve Trevor, without any damage or effect beyond harmlessly knocking out the victim for a bit. At one point Diana herself knocked out Steve this way to keep him out of harm's way.

Possibly played straight in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. A quest in Vasj'ir has the player relive a naga's memories of fighting kvaldir. The memory starts off with a naga remarking that "The skulls of these kvaldir are hard as rock!" since the player-controlled naga had apparently just broken her trident over a kvaldir's head. Since this event is off-camera whether or not the kvaldir survived the blow to the head isn't known, but naga throughout the memories only kill kvaldir with torso-targeted attacks.

Played straight two decades later back in Japan's Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, where the local Grey Ranger is themed around a Pachycephalosaurus, and consequently displays this trope even when not suited up.

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja plays with this one. In most instances, a character who takes a wallop to the head (or a chop to the neck) comes out fine. However, the back of Doc's head was once rudely introduced to a piece of wood (pirates and alcohol were involved) resulting in a concussion and a hallucinatory conversation with a roast turkey. (He got better.) In "Why a Gorilla", the trope is parodied by having Doc "wake up" while being pounded into the ground repeatedly by an angry gorilla; he had been unconscious for the better part of an hour but emerges from the experience completely fine.

Wolverine's skull is nigh-invulnerable to anything, it helps that he has his healing factor to back it up. His skull is so hard that he can take a bullet at point-blank range and it will just bounce off. Of course, given his long-term memory problems, brain damage is a distinct possibility. This is definitely subverted in the World War Hulk storyline. A pissed-off Hulk is in no mood whatsoever for Wolverine's bullshit and curb-stomps Wolverine. He does this with both his superhuman strength and speed, hitting Wolverine in the head multiple times so hard and so fast that Wolverine's brain is still slamming against that Adamantium skull, his healing factor can't even begin to keep up, and he's left completely unconscious and out of action for quite some time.

In Ernest Rides Again, the eponymous Great Redneck Hope ends up shot in the head by a renegade nailgun while pretending to be Indiana Jones at a construction site. He removes his hat to reveal that all three nails bent on impact — "I'm glad it was the hard end!" — and later, when the villainous Dr. Glencliff tries to remove the Crown Jewels of England from his head by cutting the top half of his cranium off with a surgical saw, Ernest's head turns out to be hard enough to blunt it.

In Fallout 2, scoring a critical hit with an aimed attack to the head may cause stunning, unconsciousness for several rounds, or death. If you're the recipient of the second and manage to wake up before your foes kill you off completely, you will have suffered no obvious loss from the trauma, other than hit points. There was also a perk that could be taken called Bonehead, which made you much more resistant to the effects of crits to your head.

In Randie and Ryan, the concussion is treated very realistically. That is, after a period where Randie appears to be fine after her fall, she, subverting this trope, starts to act and speak in a confused and incoherent manner. Fortunately, Spill is driving and very quickly changes route to the ER. A prolonged recovery ensues.

Jake LaMotta (whom the movie Raging Bull is based on) had the reputation of being impossible to knock out. He was famous for simply "bull rushing" his opponent and withstanding any punches they hit him with, with little to no effect. Many accounts describe opponent who tired themselves out beating on Jake's head with little to show for it. Most famously, when Jake faced "Sugar" Ray Robinson (whom many boxing experts pick as the greatest fighter ever) for the sixth time, Robinson beat LaMotta so savagely in the later rounds that newspapers afterward dubbed the fight (which happened on Valentine's Day) "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre". The fight was stopped by the referee, but afterward LaMotta taunted Robinson about how in that fight, and all their other bouts, Robinson had never been able to knock LaMotta down.

The Back to the Future trilogy:
In Back to the Future, Marty McFly gets KOed when he gets hit by a car belonging to his mom's family, whacking his head on the pavement in the process. There don't appear to be any direct long-term consequences unless you count the risk of Critical Existence Failure from his mom falling for him.
In the second film, Biff's goons KOs him when he visits the clock-tower hotel and casino. Later, he is briefly KOed by a door when his earlier self opens it; however this is a just a temporary stun without loss of consciousness. And these are probably not all the examples.
In one of the series' famous sets of parallel events, Marty is knocked out cold in each movie, followed each time by a scene of him recovering with Lorraine (in Part III it's Maggie) at his bedside. In Part III the concussion happens when his head hits a fencepost. Needless to say, Marty will need a CT scan when he gets back to 1985.

Kill Six Billion Demons: The Rant once mentions a martial art school called Head of John (taken from the official spinoff RPG), which involves having three metal studs hammered into your skull, rendering your head (and only your head) invincible via magical acupuncture, as well as making your headbutts stone-pulverizingly powerful. Supposedly its oldest master was once decapitated but survived four weeks as a severed head and regained all bodily functions after being sewn to someone else’s headless corpse. Incubus is reportedly another master, and has the three studs to prove it, but it hasn’t come up in the story yet.

The T29 Heavy Tank in World of Tanks is infamous for how heavily armored its turret is. It has so much frontal armor on the turret that when it's hull-down it's effectively immune to all but the most powerful guns, and even they won't be able to reliably damage it.

In Wakfu, a Hard Head seems to be one definite trait of Iops. Sadlygrove defeated Rubilax in his true form — a huge demon made of stone — by repeatedly head-butting him. Not that the other heroes are slouch either, and regularly receive some serious beating with barely a trace a few frames later.

Valhalla: The Jotun Hymir has the thickest skull in Jotungard, both figuratively and very, very literally. A beer mug made from the skull of his grandfather is solid enough that it can serve as a bludgeoning weapon, and even Thor isn't able to break it because everything he tests it against breaks before the skull does. Until he gets the bright idea of testing the mug against Hymir's head, which sees the cup lose. Even then, having the mug chucked at his head at ballistic speed doesn't harm Hymir — he's just upset that his mug is broken.

Averted in the Leverage episode "The Blue Line Job". The team has to protect a hockey enforcer who already has serious brain damage from the fights his manager gets him into, and throughout the episode, Eliot has a lot of work cut out for him in keeping anything from hitting his head. He doesn't even fight back when the guy attacks him.

In the Gensokyo 20XX Series, it was mentioned that Ran had this as a child and presumably still does, though, it is noted to be kind of a deconstruction in that a rock hard skull may protect from long-term brain injuries but not from pain or, for that matter, concussions, seeing as she had gotten three of them in her childhood.

Subverted in Survival of the Fittest in the case of Sean O'Cann. Upon his introduction to the game, Sean is already suffering from a head wound as a result of landing on something hard after being thrown onto the island. After this wound is bandaged, it's seemingly forgotten, up until a couple of days later, when Sean really starts to suffer, his vision blurring frequently and he himself collapsing on more than one occasion. Averted in the v4 Pregame when Christopher Carlson gets the crap beaten out of him by Monty Pondsworth at lunch; he's stated to have spent a good week with a headache and spent the rest of the day having trouble walking.

The first recruitable units in Brütal Legend were once enslaved miners, forced to break rocks with their heads instead of proper tools. Freed from the mine, they now use their heads for ramming attacks in battle. (It's a setting that runs on The Power of Rock, so they're referred to as "headbangers.") It's made clear that they aren't the brightest bulbs on the stage, though they do occasionally pull of surprising feats of intelligence, like constructing the Skullsplitter.

Blows to the head in Deadlands added two dice to the weapon's damage. Since having more dice increased the shooter's chances of getting 'exploding' dice, this meant that headshots could do far more damage than initially advertised. A headshot was how an inexperienced saloon gal once got nearly 80 damage with a derringer, a weapon that only does 2d4 damage. For reference, a human only needs 30 damage to kill them (if shot in the torso or head) or have that limb completely destroyed (anywhere else).

In Aladdin, it's implied that the titular protagonist landed on his head when he, Abu and the magic carpet became trapped in the Cave of Wonders, he actually remarks "I must have hit my head harder than I thought!" when the genie demonstrates what he's capable of. Later, Aladdin is knocked unconscious by the palace guards after they capture him on Jafar's orders. The shock of landing in the ocean brings him round just in time for him to realise he's about to drown.

Averted in GURPS. Blows to the head do quadruple damage, have a good chance of causing unconsciousness and the "critical head blow" table is pretty nasty.

Reign has the advantage Thick Headed, which grants an extra wound box at the head location. The head location normally has the fewest wound boxes, and filling it up with damage will take you out. Even so, shock (nonlethal) damage to the head still goes away just as quickly and cleanly as it does to any other body part, so Reign characters can still get knocked out without any long-term effects. Even killing (lethal) damage to the head doesn't actually impede you until all your wound boxes are filled there.

In the Family Guy episode "Big Man on Hippocampus", Peter gets amnesia from a blow to the head. This amnesia is cured when the Giant Chicken clobbers him in the head with a rake. It's then immediately reinstated when Peter insults the Giant Chicken and the latter beans the former with a length of pipe. This is repeated multiple times. Peter suffers no ill effects, except for amnesia from every other bonk, which is reversed upon the very next bonk (fortunately, the Giant Chicken had an odd number of objects to strike Peter with).

The Bushwhackers had heads so hard, their Battering Ram finishing move involved one grabbing the head of the other and running it into their opponent.

Arianna in Castoff gets hit on the head a lot, often times with blood. She just shrugs it off like it's nothing.

Revolution: Charlie must have a bionic skull. In Episode 9, not only does she survive getting shot in said noggin - a grazing wound only, but she then hits her head on concrete steps hard enough to cause bleeding and a near-death experience, yet she eventually wakes up and shrugs it off, even though in real life (as has been proven in the sad case of actress Natasha Richardson and many other cases) a head wound of that nature has the potential to be fatal.
