The game of tossing an object around in a group to keep it away from someone else.
In one scenario, the heroes are trying to keep the MacGuffin away from the villain or villains. The villain is so focused on the item that they're not fighting the heroes who don't have it.
The answer is to throw the MacGuffin from hero to hero, with the villain being frustrated as he barely misses it each time. If there's a group of villains, expect multiple "yoink!" moments as the groups intercept it from each other.
In another scenario, the protagonist might be quietly minding his own business on the schoolyard when a group of bullies come up and take something of his, then pass it around to another one whenever he gets close. If he can make a plausible threat of getting them in trouble, expect them to transparently lie and claim that it was only a game; otherwise, they might just keep the MacGuffin. One way or another, the protagonist will need to find an effective way to deal with the bullies.
Polar opposite of the MacGuffin Delivery Service and Hot Potato. If the heroes and villains get into a physical scuffle during the "Keep Away" session, it's a MacGuffin Melee.

Ranma ½: In the manga, Ranma, Genma, and Sōun toss Happōsai between the three of them in order to keep him away from Pantyhose Tarō. The Dirty Old Man takes it in stride, even calmly smoking his pipe during those antics. Ranma even says:

The Simpsons:
In "Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood", the bullies do this with Bart's "Junior Campers" uniform. Bart actually wants to quit so he starts to walk away, telling them to keep it. Jimbo then tells him that he'd better pretend to want it back, or he'd be sorry. Bart complies.
"Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily" has a group of girl bullies doing this with Lisa's shoes. They end up throwing them completely out of reach, forcing Lisa to walk home barefoot, causing a social worker to think that she's suffering from Barefoot Poverty.

Aladdin: The Return of Jafar ends with Aladdin and his friends trying to get Jafar's lamp away from him and Abis Mal in order to destroy it, because according to Genie, the only way to kill a genie is to destroy his lamp before his summoner can wish him free (at which the genie becomes invincible afterwards). Jafar finds out about this, and as a result he traps the heroes in a pit of lava, with the lamp just out of reach. Fortunately, Iago the parrot shows up in time, grabs Jafar's lamp, and throws it into the lava. Cue Jafar getting electrocuted, turning into a skeleton, screaming throughout, and exploding violently.

This is directly used as a spoof of American Football in season 3 of Transformers: Generation 1 as Blurr, Wheelie and the others throw Metroplex's conveniently egg-shaped Transformation Cog to one another while running. Indeed, the term "yoink!" in these moments is a sort of inside gag for Transformers fans, as it pops up in a lot of fan works.

Mr. Toad and his friends Mole, Water Rat, and Angus MacBadger actually do this to the deed for Toad Hall at the end of The Wind in the Willows segment of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad in order to get rid of the evil innkeeper Mr. Winkie and his army of weasels, who have taken over the mansion after framing Toad for allegedly stealing a car. Toad complicates matters enormously during the scuffle by tossing out dozens of paper-airplane decoy deeds, confusing everybody.

Power Rangers:
On Power Rangers Zeo had an episode where Rocky was kidnapped by the Monster of the Week, with the villains confiscating his Zeonizer, only to drop it when the others appeared, leading to a game of Keep Away between them and the Cogs using carnival rides, ending with Tommy grabbing it and purposely letting the Monster grab him too so he and Rocky could blast their way out.
Power Rangers Ninja Storm has a memorable sequence of yoinks as the Wind and Thunder Rangers fight for the Wind Rangers' mentor, currently a guinea pig in a pet ball-sized force field.

Total Drama: In "If You Can't Take The Heat", Heather demands that Owen get her makeup bag from the cabin. When he returns after encountering bees, Owen ends up tossing the bag in Heather's direction, only for Leshawna to intercept it. Leshawna then throws the bag to Beth, who then throws it to Lindsay, with Leshawna motioning her to throw it in the walk-in freezer. When Heather snaps her fingers to get her makeup bag, Lindsay instead backhand throws the bag in the freezer, allowing Leshawna to lock Heather inside.

Unfortunately for the crooks, Batgirl takes advantage of Harley's childish gullibility and calls to her to throw the item to her. Harley, caught up in the tossing, does so and realizes too late that she's suckered while Batgirl makes her getaway.

The recurring "Oddball" game mode in every Halo multiplayer game, which in-turn is based on the "Kill The Man With The Ball" mode in Marathon. In both cases, the 'ball' is a skull, and the objective is to hold on to it for as long as possible while the other team hunts you down. While holding the ball, you are limited to melee attacks and your position is broadcast to everyone.

Occurs briefly in Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers: at the end of the game, Big Bad Tetelo is threatening Gabriel's friends, Detective Mosely and Grace, but can't attack Gabriel directly because of his Schattenjaeger amulet, which protects him. She demands the amulet or she'll kill them. The correct answer is to throw the amulet over her head (while taunting her) to Mosely, who then gets Grace out of danger while protected.

One Piece:
Luffy, having extendable rubber arms, is able to perform this trope all by himself to keep Usopp from drinking the group's water supply (and even names it as a technique: the "Gomu Gomu no Dame Da"; Dame Da roughly means "No Way" or "Stop That").
Around the time the Straw Hats depart Water 7, as part of their plan to recruit an unwilling Franky into the crew, they lure him to where the Sunny is docked by having the Franky Family steal his speedo, and passing it from person to person. Franky only gets it back after he joins.

In the altered present in OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders, Eiji and Ankh run into trouble with some kids, who proceed to steal Eiji's OOO Medals and pass them around in order to inconvenience poor Eiji. Later, in the climax of the film, those same kids steal the OOO Driver from the Shocker Greeed; the gathered crowd decide to help them out and join in the pass-around until the captive Riders are freed and the Driver is returned to Eiji.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze has the title turtles playing keep-away from the Foot with the last canister of mutagenic ooze. It eventually finds its way into Tatsu's hands when one of the defeated Foot lays a staff across the floor, causing Donatello, who is riding on a chair, to wipe out.

On Power Rangers Zeo had an episode where Rocky was kidnapped by the Monster of the Week, with the villains confiscating his Zeonizer, only to drop it when the others appeared, leading to a game of Keep Away between them and the Cogs using carnival rides, ending with Tommy grabbing it and purposely letting the Monster grab him too so he and Rocky could blast their way out.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
In chapter 166 (the No Dialogue Chapter), several of Negi's students play keep away with his ring-wand (they're 14/15, he's ten, teasing him is their favorite sport) until Akira, who was helping him look for it in the first place, brings it to a surprisingly abrupt end.
It is also done several chapters later with Negi's unconscious body at a sleepover. Boy's a deep sleeper.

House of Anubis: In the season one finale, Sibuna does this...with a jar of deadly sandflies they had managed to get from Rufus following Fabian tackling him to the ground. Seeing that it was extremely dangerous, it also seemed like a game of Hot Potato as well; nobody wanted to hold it, they just didn't want to drop it, and they wanted to keep Rufus from getting it. Jerome soon solved the problem by throwing it at the ground near Rufus himself and bolting, allowing Sibuna to escape while Rufus was attacked by the swarm of sandflies.

Mario Party 10: The minigame Keep-Away Mayhem places three players in a triangle shape in a sports field, with a solo player in the middle. The three players are given a soccer ball that they have to prevent their opponent from either kicking or stealing. They can use the A, 1, and 2 buttons on the Wii Remote to choose which teammate to pass the ball to, and if they can keep the solo player from getting the ball until the 30-second timer expires, they win the minigame.

Transformers:
This is directly used as a spoof of American Football in season 3 of Transformers: Generation 1 as Blurr, Wheelie and the others throw Metroplex's conveniently egg-shaped Transformation Cog to one another while running. Indeed, the term "yoink!" in these moments is a sort of inside gag for Transformers fans, as it pops up in a lot of fan works.
In the pilot of Transformers: Animated, the Autobots do this trying to keep the AllSpark away from Starscream.
