Two characters are in a heated argument. Inevitably, they'll get into a fight. One character throws a punch that spins the other character's entire body around in a circle, usually making the punched character stare right into the camera for a moment, with a flabbergasted look on their face. Usually the punch floors the second character in one hit, though it is rarely a knockout punch.
This is often the consequence of a Get A Hold Of Yourself Man punch.

Hi is seated in a car, but still turns and flashes the camera a dumbstruck look when Ed decks him one in Raising Arizona.

Rock Lee did this to Gaara in the Naruto anime and manga. Guess who it got worse for afterwards?

Phil Connors does this to Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day. In the DVD commentary, the director claims that all he had planned was a punch followed by a stunned/surprised reaction from Ryerson; actor Stephen Tobolowski (who played Ryerson) decided to turn it into a full-on, stare-in-the-camera spin-and-fall after the punch.

In Pirates of the Caribbean, a version of this happens with slaps instead of punches, and is a Running Gag directed at Jack Sparrow.
