Many cultures and organizations have formalized and/or ritualized ways of casting someone out of their group, usually as a punishment for gross misconduct. These usually involve some form of action that symbolizes the rejection of the person being cast out, as well as a formalized speech or statement. The person being cast out may also have to do something to reflect their status. The Exile results directly from this; a Persona Non Grata can also receive this treatment. When this is done in the military or on a job, it's an Insignia Rip-Off Ritual. Spoilers ahead! |

In the Rihannsu novels, the ultimate form of dishonor for the Romulans is to have one's name thrice written and thrice burned by the Senate, after which one is considered an Un-person and one's name may never be spoken again. This happens to Ael t'Rllaillieu after she teams up with the Enterprise against her own government in My Enemy, My Ally, and many of the Free Rihannsu rebels in the fifth book still refuse to speak her name despite her being a leading member of the rebellion. It's undone after she becomes empress. | |

The Simpsons: In "Homer the Great", Homer joins the secret organisation known as "The Stonecutters" but gets kicked out for desecrating the Hallowed Sacred Parchment. His punishment is to be stripped naked, shackled to a rock called the "stone of shame", and ordered to drag the rock with him as he walked home. Once they see his birthmark, they decide he's The Chosen One—and attach the even larger "stone of triumph"! | |

The Total Drama series, like many of the elimination game shows it parodies, features a ritualized expulsion of players who have been Voted Off the Island. The "Flush of Shame" in Season 5, where eliminated players are flushed down a giant toilet, is the most cartoonish but otherwise typical. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation's expansion of the Klingons and their culture included the introduction of discommendation, in which a Klingon is ceremonially shunned and reduced to an honorless pariah in their society. In the ceremony, the Klingons present cross their arms in front of the discommendee and turn their backs on him. In "Sins of the Father", Worf was subjected to this as a result of the charges brought against his family by the Duras family. In "Reunion", Duras crosses his arms and turns away from Worf with a sneer when Worf challenges him for the Right of Vengeance. Unfortunately for him, it turns out Worf is here for the one thing that will still let him legally challenge and kill Duras: Gralmek, a Klingon spy who underwent extensive surgery to appear human, was discommendated for the failure of his mission to distribute poisoned grain, covered in the TOS episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" and revisited in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations". |

Babel, or the Necessity of Violence: When a student is expelled from the Oxford Institute of Translation, he's publicly thrown out the front door and the blood vial that keys him to the Institute's security systems is shattered on the steps. The theatrical glee with which Professor Playfair performs this is a glaring sign of how much of a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing he is. | |

However, the legal consequences of this are soon cancelled as Stark is deposed by a coup (and the apprehending party themselves are declared outlaws). | |

Two of the Deryni novels include rites of excommmunication, a Church ritual that cuts off the named individual(s) from participating in any Church rites. During the ritual, each participating bishop carries a single lit candle; at the end, all drop their candles, which should go out when they hit the floor. In Deryni Checkmate, Alaric Morgan and Duncan McLain are excommunicated after being unjustly accused of crimes against the Church. When the ritual ends, one of the fallen candles remains burning, indicating that someone believes they are not deserving of this fate. In The Bishop's Heir, the targets are the evil ex-Archbishop Edmund Loris, his allies among the Council of Bishops, and the rebellious Mearan royal family. This time, all the candles go out. |

Clan of the Cave Bear: The Clan have a ritual called the Death Curse the medicine man does to make a person "dead." Nobody acknowledges the person and it's implied that Your Mind Makes It Real—they really can't see them, and the person figures that if they're dead, they'll just lay down and die. Ayla has this done to her twice; the first time it's just for a month, but the second time it's permanent. She doesn't actually die either time though. | |

Warhammer 40,000 novels: Faith and Fire describes the ritual through which a Battle Sister chooses to be cast out of her Order and become a Sister Repentia. The Sister announces herself as bearing a great sin and desiring this fate as her means of absolution as her fellow Sisters strip her of her armor and weapons, clothe her in rags, and use a knife to cut off her hair, announcing their rejection of her until her sin is forgiven. The Forges of Mars trilogy features a lupine-themed "pack" of Titans accompanying the Mechanicus expedition the books revolve around. In the second book, the Warhound Titan Amarok is grievously damaged in a moment's lapse of attention by its Princeps, and as a punishment for the Titan's loss he is "made omega". As a proclamation of his banishment is made by the "pack" leader, his uniform insignia are torn off and his cheeks and throat are slashed just deeply enough to leave permanent scars. He is later brought back into the pack when it's clear that his experience is needed to help fight off the antagonist's invasion. |

Inheritance Cycle: Some crimes in dwarven society are punishable by a form of banishment known as vargrimstn, where they treat the exile as though they had ceased to exist. Eragon notes how chilling it is when after one high-ranked dwarf is pronounced banished, the other dwarves act as though his continued ranting is just ambient noise, and when he grabs hold of one of the other council members, the guards that pull him away do so with an attitude suggesting that they're just helping the councilor straighten his clothes. | |
