Our lives are increasingly filled with small electronic devices that make annoying shrill noises at us, usually when we least want them to. This often results in sudden, shocking violence toward such devices. Thus, makers of alarm clocks will never go out of business. The oldest examples of this trope are all alarm clocks (or occasionally the even older non-digital form of the annoying wake-up, the rooster). Only with the arrival of the ubiquitous cell phone, has this trope wandered out of the bedroom and into public places. The advent of cell phones has also instituted the expansion of the trope to violence directed toward devices owned by people other than yourself. It's not all that easy to justify whacking someone else's alarm clock (unless it's that pesky rooster owned by the neighboring farmer), but grabbing and smashing the cell phone of an inconsiderate owner — say, someone talking loudly and obnoxiously in a public place, or someone who forgot to turn the phone's ringer off before entering a movie theater — is not only simple but may be considered a form of public service. (We do not support doing this in real life. You may get hurt or charged with a crime. On the other hand... Worth It.) Other annoying modern noisemakers that may also be subject to this trope include smoke detectors/fire alarms, car alarms (usually requires demolishing the entire car to stop the noise), and carbon monoxide detectors. Subtrope of Percussive Shutdown. A common tactic if the cruncher is Not a Morning Person. A typical reason for this reaction is I Was Having Such a Nice Dream. Compare Cuckoo Clock Gag for another kind of clock used for comedic effect. See also Cutting the Electronic Leash, a cellphone-specific and generally less violent related trope, Agitated Item Stomping, Shoot the Television. May go hand in hand with That Satisfying "Crunch!" (for which this is a Sub-Trope). |

Inverted (or played straight?) in Antihero for Hire: Shadehawk is a deep sleeper, so his alarm clock is programmed to explode in order to wake him up. It's not enough. (Or maybe he shot it in his sleep? It's hard to tell because of the composition of the panels.) | |

X-Men: In an old comic, Kitty Pryde used her tendency to fry electrical equipment she "phases" through to the detriment of her clock radio. Cyclops on the other hand, merely looks at his alarm clock. |

Used regularly in the narrative intros and outros to Bleak Expectations. Anytime Elderly Pip gets frustrated with Mr. Sourquill's gadget of the week it's guaranteed to be broken in some manner or another. A notable example being the clock which gives various dings and chimes for every hour, minute, and second; it suffers a very quick Appliance Defenestration. | |

The Whiteboard: Subverted in this strip. Alarm clock rings. Doc's paw comes out from under the covers with what looks like a Colt 1911. Clock promptly shuts up. In this strip Doc applies the more common version of the trope, using a mallet to smash the alarm clock. |

Wario Land II starts off with one of the most elaborate examples. The Black Sugar Gang sneaks into Wario's Castle in order to steal his treasure, and as part of the scheme, they place a living Waddling Head alarm clock in the castle which proceeds to wake up Wario and distract him from their thievery. The first level is completed upon destroying the clock. | |

A cell phone goes off and she shows just one of the reasons why they are so useful. She hands the offending co-worker the titanium rod with what's left of the cell phone stuck to it with a simple "It's for you." | |

Strangers in Paradise has Katchoo go through a new alarm clock every day, often with a large-caliber bullet from a gun she kept under her pillow. She accumulated a large pile of ruined clocks before the Running Gag faded from the series. Interestingly, the story included a Dream Sequence that explained, in heart-wrenching detail, exactly why Katchoo is so upset at being awakened. | |

One-Punch Man: Saitama wakes up from an action-packed fight dream when his alarm clock starts ringing, to which of course he punches it to stop it. This sends it straight through the floor. Though granted it seemed it was done out of habit rather than annoyance. | |

Unlike most examples, Gilda comes to regret the event, since it leaves her talons aching for a few days, she needs to spend precious money to buy a new one, and the only one she could afford is a cuckoo clock with a pop-out bunny. | |

Implied in Léonard le Génie. While Heavy Sleeper Basile is never actually shown demolishing his alarm clock, some bedroom scenes show it smashed by a large hammer, or simply with an "out of order" sign on it. Unfortunately for him, his Mean Boss usually wakes him up by much less orthodox and more violent means... | |

More of a 'tick tick tick tick SMASH. CRUNCH.' and then probably stomping on the parts in Tsukihime when Shiki is getting some spillover from Roa/SHIKI and causing violent rage of which he's not really aware. He wanted to lie down and get rid of his headache so he could talk to Ciel without... getting... horrible destructive. Good luck, Shiki! | |

Seen in Snoopy, Come Home, when sleeping in Woodstock's nest on their journey to see Lila in the hospital, Snoopy is startled awake by his very loud alarm clock and smashes it with his fist. Then Woodstock laughs at him, so Snoopy conks him on the head as well. | |

In the Fantastic Four comic book, Ben Grimm was forever forgetting his Super-Strength and smashing his alarm clock to bits when he went to turn it off. The next panel would usually show him tossing it onto a pile of similarly smashed clocks. | |

In the first episode of Pokémon: The Original Series, Ash smashes his Voltorb-shaped alarm clock against the wall while dreaming — so it doesn't wake him up at the right time, which directly leads him to get Pikachu as his first Pokémon. The Journeys season reveals that wasn't the first time: he did the same a few years prior and missed out Professor Oak's summer camp as a result. | |

In Hellsing, during a lull in the battle aboard the H.M.S. Eagle, an alarm clock starts ringing, only to be promptly smashed underfoot by Alucard. The alarm clock indicates that enough time has passed that Alucard will not be able to be returned to London when it is attacked by the Last Battalion. | |
