After violence, either to emphasize how much one character glorifies in it, or to lighten the mood, one or more characters will kick around a severed head as if it were a soccer ball. Alternatively, if there's a hoop conveniently nearby they may try to throw it in like a basketball. Other options are only limited by the number of ball games requiring something close to the size of a head. Often also a side-effect of certain video game physics engines is to allow you to do this. Reality check: A human head weighs around 7 kg (or for those living in the US, 15.4 lbs., which is as heavy as a bowling ball gets); however, few shows manage to portray this realistically. Related to Off with His Head!. See also Decapitation Presentation for another fate of the severed head. Not to be confused with Head Sports. Can cross over with Losing Your Head if said head is somehow still alive and is being humiliated/harrassed in their helpless state. A more comedic relative involving the entire body is Be the Ball. |

Played for laughs in a The Far Side cartoon about the invention of headhunting — cavemen are gathered on a volleyball court, and one of them notes that no one brought a ball, and one of the bystanders has a round, bulbous head... One of Larson's childhood cartoons was published which depicted a group of stick men playing volleyball. One that the stick men is holding the severed head of a nearby teammate while screaming "Aaaaaa! This isn't the ball!" |

In "Deadpool: The Musical 2," Deadpool beheads a mook with his katana and sends the severed head flying into a makeshift basketball hoop labeled "heads only!" The basket head sets off a goal buzzer, air horn, and lights, and Deadpool celebrates the shot and says the setup time paid off. | |

The end of The Simpsons episode which was spoofing MMORPGs shows Marge's player character playing with the head of Moe's. Also happens on one of the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, again with Moe as the victim of a Mayan sacrifice. His head rolls down the stairs and is used by kids as a soccer ball. Yet another "Treehouse of Horror" had the zombified bullies use Zombie!Principal Skinner's head like a hacky sack. A deleted scene in "Treehouse of Horror IV" (which was eventually shown in "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular") featured demons using Homer's head as a bowling ball when he spent the day in Hell (which then cracked open against the pins to reveal a note reading "I.O.U. one brain, signed God"). |

A club of Harry Potter ghosts known as the Headless Hunt enjoy such sports as Head Polo. One of the reasons why Nearly-Headless Nick isn't admitted is because, as his head wasn't completely severed from his body, he can't partake on these games. | |

In Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind, the Riders play the game of chadash on horseback and usually the severed head of a foe as the ball (a dead goat may be used if no head is available). Usually they use the preserved heads of old enemies, but occasionally they'll celebrate a victory by playing a game with the head of the defeated warleader. | |

Discworld: In Unseen Academicals there is a rule explicitly stating that any object that has been kicked by at least three players in a row during an official football match is to be considered the ball. Guess which kind of object triggered the creation of this rule... (Although Dr. Hix, who'd be qualified to talk about this sort of thing, does discuss the fact that human heads would be very impractical to play football with, as they're heavy and, of course, nobody wants to be bitten in the foot.) Earlier, in Soul Music, Jade says the troll sport of aargrooha is played by kicking a human head with obsidian boots until one side scores a goal or the head bursts. In modern, civilized times, this game is not played (because no one remembers how to make the boots). In Jingo, Carrot gets members of the two opposing armies to play football during a cease-fire. 71-Hour Ahmed remarks that a similar game is played by nomads in some parts of Klatch, with a severed head. |

Action League NOW!: Towards the end of the episode, "Roughing the Passer", The Mayor tries to sabotage the NFL's football game by sawing the chains off the billiard lampshade above it. However, a coin toss from The Flesh knocks him off the lampshade and causes the saw to slice his head off. The football players mistake his head for a loose football and tackle it. At the end of the episode, "What's Eating the Flesh", a body-eating virus consumes the Action League's bodies. Bill cures the league, and The Chief still needs a golf ball for his tournament, as he lost the ones he hit earlier. At the tournament, he uses The Flesh's head as a golf ball and gets a perfect "head-in-one". |

The original Silent Hill has you briefly visit a small basketball court hidden in an alleyway to find a key. Right next to it is a severed dog's head, lying beneath a basketball goal with a bloody backboard. Considering the true nature of the town's warped reality, it may simply be a manifestation of Alessa's fear and dislike of dogs. | |

In Head On, the new popular team sport of Hilketa is played using threeps (robots remotely controlled by people with lock-in syndrome using brain implants). The way to score is to rip off the head of one of the opponent team's threeps and bring in it for a touchdown. The heads are designed to be re-attachable. | |

In Men in Black 3, Jay and young Kay are questioning an alien who runs a bowling alley. They wind up using his head as a bowling ball to get him to answer their questions (don't worry, he's fine afterward, just annoyed). | |

Blood lets you kick zombie heads until they explode harmlessly into droplets of gore. That, combined with Caleb having quite a kicking foot, was one of the game's big selling points. The carnival level even included a minigame where you could win a power-up by managing to kick three heads into a specific place. The sequel tried it, even adding a separate head model for each gibbed humanoid enemy, but the lack of flair to it (like long trajectory arcs, a large blood trail, and sound effects, all of which were present in the first game) didn't make it very noticeable. There's even a deathmatch map dedicated to head football. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has a non-lethal variant where Soccer Mom has the majority of Sector V captured with Numbuhs 2, 3 and 5 tied in the goal netting. As revealed when she says they can be the ball instead of the net if they don't keep quiet, Numbuh 1 is buried up to his neck in the ground with his bald head painted like a soccer ball. | |

The cover of the Genesis album Nursery Cryme features a girl playing croquet with severed heads instead of balls. This doubles as a reference to "The Musical Box", the album's opening track; the story for that song (as featured in the liner notes) opens with a girl knocking a boy's head off during a game of croquet. | |

Earlier, in Soul Music, Jade says the troll sport of aargrooha is played by kicking a human head with obsidian boots until one side scores a goal or the head bursts. In modern, civilized times, this game is not played (because no one remembers how to make the boots). | |

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, the vampires are seen playing hockey with a jack-o-lantern. This was bowdlerized from the original, deleted version, in which they used the severed head of Tim Burton. "There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads." |
