Tap on the Head	comment	In fiction, anyone caught unaware may be easily, instantaneously and noiselessly incapacitated with a single blow to the head (or alternatively, a karate chop to the neck). A character thus treated will usually be perfectly fine afterwards; oh, they may have a headache, dizziness, slightly blurred vision, or in the very worst cases, Laser-Guided Amnesia, but this is nothing compared to the real danger â€” the Bad Guys standing around the operating table (or other heavy piece of furniture) to which they find themselves tied down. For heroes, this is the perfect way to dispatch the villains. When you bonk someone on the head, you don't have to worry about breaking any moral codes or violating the censors on weapons, guns and blood. In other words, when fictional characters take a blow to the head, they'll suffer nothing worse than an unplanned nap. (This is why In the Back does not apply â€” hitting someone from behind is not really dangerous.) For obvious reasons, not Truth in Television. Any sort of damage to the brain, even 'minor' trauma, can have devastating results. It's the difference between turning a computer off by shutting it down and by hitting it. The latter is likely to cause serious long-term damage. Most real-life unconsciousness due to injury lasts only a few seconds, not some indeterminate amount of time lasting hours or days during which our hero can be carted around, dressed/undressed etc. To hit someone on the head hard enough to make them unconscious for an extended amount of time requires a fair bit of force, and such an impact is going to leave visible damage to the head. If you are out longer than a few minutes, some combination of brain damage, coma, cranial bleeding, loss of motor and cognitive functions, and amnesia is going to greet you when you wake up â€” if you wake up. The "karate chop to the neck" version may have been removed from modern TV because if you hit the right spot it actually can knock you out, though not without serious risk of death. It utilizes the Carotid Sinus Reflex (the reason you should not take a pulse at the neck) and is very dangerous. There have also been depictions in productions as varied as the lighthearted I Spy and as dark as Callan in which neck-chopping unambiguously is shown to be fatal because it breaks the target's neck, which circles back to unrealistic â€” breaking a person's neck takes a lot of force. Despite having very little grounding in reality, the Tap on the Head is still commonly applied in fiction — after all, Tropes Are Tools. Maybe The Hero is a bit too good at their job, or the Big Bad's minions are getting too big for their britches and need an attitude adjustment, or the Tagalong Kid needs to be stopped from suffering (or causing) a fatal case of Cerebus Syndrome. Sometimes a brief bus trip is just something the plot needs to proceed, and rendering the offending character unconscious is a quick and easy excuse to get the ball rolling without actually killing them off. It might be justified if the character who receives the blow has super or magic powers of some kind (such as healing factors or invulnerability), as that would allow them to shake off something that would otherwise cause a concussion. Other methods to knock someone out quickly and non-lethally include: In Western media, there's the punch to the jaw (AKA a "knockout punch"). Again, in reality this could inflict serious injury to both parties. Without hand protection, the attacker could very easily break his fingers; boxers and MMA fighters wear gloves not to protect their opponents' heads (which they only partially donote The gloves may protect the other person's face from things like cuts and the like to an extent, but they do cause more damage to the brain since with your hands being cushioned by the gloves, you can apply more force to the other person's head, causing the brain to be hit with more force.), but to protect their own hands (which they do). Modern-day productions often depict the person throwing the punch injuring their hand in some way, sometimes for humorous effect. Common in anime is the "sharp shot to the solar plexus", often used to subdue a struggling person. It makes it fairly easy to pick up the now-unconscious person and sling them over one's shoulder for easy carrying. Its effects in real life vary; the severity depends on several factorsnote victim body build, tensed torso or abdomen, force of the blow, etc., a serious blow normally impacts the nerve bundle in the region and causes the diaphragm muscles to spasm uncontrollably, which makes any activity requiring air very difficult. It can cause unconsciousness in certain circumstancesnote when the amount of stimuli (pain, shock) inflicted to the victim's nervous system exceeds the body's threshold to endure; typically when there is a large gap in body conditioning between victim and attacker (i.e an untrained or amateur victim being caught unaware by an expert martial artist), and is somewhat safer than a blow to the throat or the back of the head, but it is difficult to tell what amount of force will cause what damage. It is very easy to veer into excessive force and cause dangerous organ or nerve damage such as rupture and internal bleeding. Choke Holds, where an arm around the neck is used to cut off blood to the brain ("blood strangle/choke") or oxygen to the lungs (chokehold, stranglehold). Properly applied, this is a safer and more reliable way of causing someone to become unconscious (still used in judo/jiujitsu competitions to this day), but carries a risk of stroke or other dangerous problems if used on an older victim or one with a weakened circulatory system. It also tends to wear off quickly (as in, after a couple of seconds), or alternatively when it doesn't, cause varying levels of brain damage. Not depicted very often in film or TV as it's difficult to distinguish on screen between a choke hold and someone having their neck broken or being strangled to death, potentially giving the wrong impression if the intent is to show non-lethal takedowns. Another variant is instant knockout caused by shattering either a vase or lamp over someone's head or even just on their back. This is even more of a no-no in real life, as a hand made of flesh is merciful compared to a hard object. Swinging a few pounds of porcelain at the noggin with enough force to shatter said porcelain is a definite leap from "attempted knockout" to "attempted murder". Sometimes the knock-out victim will be hit with a Tranquilizer Dart instead of being hit. While this is a bit safer and more grounded in reality (as any park ranger can tell you), anesthesia is risky, as too small of a dose doesn't give the target anything worse than a moment of drowsiness, while an overdose could cause cardiac arrest. The exact height, weight, and species of the target must be known beforehand or else there's a risk of losing or killing the target (or of your target waking up before you want them to and rampaging through San Diego). Of course, in fiction the dart will always inject the exact amount of tranquilizer no matter who it hits, and the victim will suffer no ill effects upon waking up. Further, it is often depicted as Instant Sedation, whereas real tranquilizer darts normally require a few minutes to take full effect. Another variant is Electricity Knocks You Out: knocking someone out via electric shock. A tased/shocked character will scream for a moment (maybe we'll see a brief outline of their skeleton) before they promptly black out. This is a bit more common in science fiction (where electricity weapons are more common), and is even less possible then most other versions in Real Life. In reality, tasers (briefly) incapacitate people via uncontrollable muscle contractions and pain, not unconsciousness, and on occasion, even this can fail, as terrifyingly, adrenaline and some drugs can override the muscle contractions, causing the enraged target to begin blindly attempting to assault those trying to apprehend them. Tasers can cause dangerous medical conditions, even cardiac arrest, but if you lose consciousness due to them, you are unlikely to ever wake up. However, in fiction the tased person will, of course, wake up with no pain and suffering no ill effects. If played for laughs, the knock-out may be accompanied by Circling Birdies or a Cranial Eruption. Can induce moments of euphoria. See also Frying Pan of Doom, Rolling Pin of Doom, Back Stab, Blinded by the Light, Choke Holds, Instant Sedation, Pressure Point, Put Their Heads Together, Flower-Pot Drop. Contrast Death by Falling Over. Often leads to Waking Up Elsewhere. Pistol-Whipping is a Sub-Trope. Non-Lethal K.O. is a related trope in video games. Can be used to initiate an Injury Bookend.

Tap on the Head / int_12427314	comment	It's especially prominent in The Play That Goes Wrong, where the part of "Florence" is supposed to be prone to hysterical fits, but whenever the script calls for her to have one of those fits the actor playing her accidentally gets knocked out. It first happens when the actor Sandra, playing Florence, gets hit by an opening door and spends the rest of the scene lying unconscious on the floor while the other characters, trying to keep the play going, "respond" to her hysterical bursts. While Sandra recuperates the part of Florence is taken over by Annie the stage hand, who is awkward in the role at first but begins to really get into it... only to then get knocked unconscious when she is hit on the head by the same opening door, and once more the other players have to "respond" to hysterical fits that aren't actually happening because Annie is too busy lying unconscious on the floor. A recovered Sandra (in her underwear because Annie is wearing the costume) steps into the scene to take back the part of Florence, only to get knocked out again, and still by the same door. Trevor briefly steps in to speak Florence's lines before he's knocked out. For the rest of the play, Sandra and Annie fight over who gets to play Florence, each actress trying, with various success, to knock the other one out or push her off-stage.

Tandy gets into a minor car crash; Tyrone tells her that she looks like she has a concussion and should go to the hospital, but she ignores him and drives off. She manages to get on a bus before falling unconscious. She ends up having a shared vision with Tyrone, who had gone to a Vodun priestess for unrelated reasons. The priestess gave Tyrone an herbal bath to open his mind to the spiritual, but mentioned that a concussion can do the same thing—she just doesn't use it for obvious reasons. In the end, Tandy is fine, but considering that the pair used their shared vision to magically heal each other, it's implied that her powers are the only reason there are no long-term effects.

Tap on the Head / int_1b386512	comment	Used inconsistently in the Ranma Â½ manga and anime. Not counting the comedy Hammerspace hammers, or the ubiquitous Megaton Punch, there are many instances where these martial arts masters are knocked out with serious, deliberate blows to the head. Since these are people who have withstood the equivalent of exploding tank shells, mountains collapsing on top of them, and accumulative damage from prolonged duels, the ease with which they can be incapacitated with an elbow (or kick) to the skull is mind-boggling.

Torg says "I'll get the hammer." In the next comic, he's holding an MC Hammer poster that's so colourful it causes Kiki to go into ferret shock and thus stay still.

When a Soul Reaper is suspicious of Uryu and Orihime, another Soul Reaper knocks him out with a piece of wood to the back of the head. There's also a fairly ridiculous example where Orihime gets a chop to the neck by a guy that just wanted her to shut up. It's not played as okay on that occasion, as the man realises he hit her too hard and is very worried about what damage he may have done to her (none, as it turned out, meaning this trope was still played straight). Anime episode 362. Orihime and Chad are knocked out by Kisuke Urahara and Ichigo's father by being hit on the back of the head, since they're under the effect of Tsukishima's nasty Mind Rape and further struggle would cause them brain damage.

His other method of 'knocking out' thugs involves no-holds-barred beat-downs where he snaps bones and most certainly gives severe concussions. Not only that, but in Arkham City Batman himself is knocked out due to extreme blunt force trauma to the head no fewer than four times, two of which occur before he even puts on his mask.

This is explained as the characters can only survive such attacks because their Ki is active, when their body is emptied of Ki (such as when they let their guard down) their body are just as fragile as any normal human. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods shows that this applies to gods as well as mortals, with Whis using the chop-to-the-neck version to knock Beerus out. In Dragon Ball Super his sister Vados does the same to Beerus's brother Champa.

Tap on the Head / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Lampshaded when one of Harry's internal monologues mentions that someone must have done one of those adamantium upgrades on his skull. Also retroactively justified by the author, after it was pointed out to him that with all the blows Harry takes to the head, the concussions should have added up and left him brain damaged. So to justify this, and the Wizards Live Longer trope also prevalent in the series, he had a doctor give exposition explaining that Harry, and all wizards, have better healing ability than muggles. Any injury Harry takes will heal at a normal rate, but will heal completely, to the point where previously broken bones eventually show no scarring, and a burned hand that a doctor advised he simply amputate is back to fully functioning after a few years. It's even mentioned in Changes that Harry's broken spine might well heal on its own... in a matter of decades. Actually averted later on, when Harry considers knocking the possessed Justine unconscious and decides against it on the reasoning that even if he could overpower her, anything that would knock her out could easily kill her too.

Tap on the Head / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: In Thief of Time, it is mentioned that some trainees in the Thieves' Guild cause serious injuries with their inability to knock a victim unconscious with a single blow. Likewise in Monstrous Regiment, one character is about to knock a guard unconscious when The Igor points out that blows to the head can be fatal and takes over, as Igors have extensive knowledge of human anatomy. So extensive, in fact, the Igor knows just how hard and where to hit to knock the guy out for exactly 20 minutes. Additionally in Men at Arms someone is accidentally killed by an attempt to knock them unconscious. Not seen, but referenced in Night Watch, when it's mentioned the rebel barricades have a doorway built into them, with all refugees coming through at just the right height for "a gentle Tap On the head if they turned out to be a soldier." Vimes in particular plays this trope quite straight. But, like Igor, he knows exactly where and how to strike — at one point he stops his less-experienced younger self from delivering such a blow and does not teach other coppers how to do it right if they approach him privately. It's implied in that same book that the Agony Aunts (enforcers for the Guild of Seamstresses) are adept at this, and similar to the previously mentioned Igor, can put you out for a given period, provided you don't fall asleep. In Interesting Times, a briefly deranged Rincewind is used in an impromptu demonstration when a Thief's Guild apprentice tries and fails to knock him out. So the tutor steps out of the nearby alley to show him the right way ("Ow."), then what the trainee did ("Ow! Hahaha!" "So, can anyone spot the difference?"). It isn't until he regains his senses that he succumbs. In Maskerade, someone tries to knock out Nanny Ogg with a bottle. Nanny sees stars, but since she has a bit of dwarfish in her ancestry, she recovers without passing out, and chases the attacker. In The Truth, Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip manage to thump Vetinari just hard enough to keep him unconscious for the whole plot (after being specifically instructed not to kill him), and Drumknott so he can't clearly remember whatever he witnessed. In Soul Music, we're told that The Sandman (who, like in other worlds, carried a sack of sand that he throws into children's eyes to make them fall asleep) doesn't need a large sack, because he doesn't take the sand out of it.

He continues to expound to Trent and Gwen that with the balloon Courtney is sure to win, which inspires Leshawna to grab a thick branch and knock Chef out from behind so she can take the ATV and even the odds with Courtney's balloon. During breakfast in "Ocean's Eight - Or Nine", Owen and Leshawna are separated from their teams and taken away to be locked up in vaults as part of the day's challenge. Owen is merely tied up during the abduction, but Leshawna is knocked out offscreen and unconsciously dragged away.

Mobs in Warcraft cheerfully stroll over their comrades' bodies without noticing, let alone giving an alarm. Rogues get a number of other kinds of stun attacks as well. It's hard to imagine how any of them is supposed to work in real life terms. Except for Gouge. If you got stabbed in the eye, you'd most certainly stop whatever you were doing to just hold your hands over your eye and scream your head off, though arguably for much longer than a few seconds. And being hit again would do hardly anything to make you forget. You know that you got ''stabbed in the freaking eye''.

Heero asks Duo, completely out of left field, to punch him. Duo complies, and his right hook is "rewarded" with a shot to the solar plexus ("W-why?" "One for one; we're even now."). The idea was to knock Duo out so he could affect his own escape later, while Heero pretended to be KO'd and made a break for it when the soldiers were distracted by talking to Trowa, who pretended he captured the pair.

No ill effects on the guards at all, either — as soon as they wake up after being choked out, they'll immediately be aware of what happened and alert the others. It's only downplayed a bit—by stealth game standards, anyway—in that knocked-out guards will wake up on their own relatively quickly, rather than needing a comrade to find and rouse them. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes has one particular cutscene where Snake is hit in the back of the head with a rifle stock, to which he responds by menacing the guy who hit him for about five seconds before falling over. Metal Gear Solid V allows the player to take out enemies non-lethally by shooting them in the head with rubber bullets. In Real Life, targeting someone's head with rubber bullets can be just as lethal as with normal bullets, since you're still hitting them with supersonic projectiles.

This would have to kill Wesker for him to be able to transform into his undead, G-Virus self, present in the rest of the series.

While his helmet deflects the bullet, the blast throws him down a flight of stairs, knocks his helmet off, and puts him to sleep for 10-odd hours. When he wakes up, all he has to show for it is a nasty gash where his head struck the floor. You'd expect him to have a nasty concussion at best, but he recovers his strength almost immediately.

In the episode "Summer Once Again," Vanessa is hit by an opening door no less than three times during the play, but she always stays conscious. The trope isn't completely averted though, as every so often someone will end up unconscious and requiring the other players to play around them, such as Dennis in "90 Degrees," Trevor in "Harper's Locket" and the entire cast apart from Chris and Jonathan in "The Cornley Drama Festival Part 2" (though in this case it's more a case of Instant Sedation, as most of them accidentally take sleeping pills and Annie is hit by a tranqilizer gun).

The commentary for the episode reveals that this was a bit of nonsense invented because the script called for Aeryn to hit John to shut him up, then both of them would take her Prowler on a mission. Ben Browder insisted that John Chrichton would NEVER follow Aeryn anywhere after she hit him, so the panthak jab was invented as some kind of Peacekeeper martial arts technique to invoke this trope.

In another episode, Martha Kent is Brainwashed and Crazy and pointing a gun at Lana. Chloe knocks her out with a single blow from a rolling pin (by surprise, from the back). Now...given that this kind of blow would be unlikely, in Real Life, to result in an instant knockout, and given that Martha was in a state of mind where she could easily have used the gun on Lana or Chloe (or, indeed, pulled the trigger by accident)...just think how dangerous it would have been if it was done with realism and Chloe's strength was only sufficient to cause some severe pain to Martha's head without incapacitating her. In the earlier seasons, whoever Clark needed to rescue who wasn't aware of his powers would "conveniently" get knocked out just long enough for Clark to come in and do his thing before they woke back up, none the worse for the wear. The most common offenders were Lana and Lex. At the rate they were knocked out, they should have had serious brain damage by the third or fourth time.

Subverted in that she didn't actually knock him out at all; once he realized what she was trying to do, he faked unconsciousness and then followed after her.

In one episode Alexander Scott (Bill Cosby) attacks a guard with several karate chops to the neck and goes out of his way to explain to the person he'd just rescued that the guard was now dead. This is a rare occasion in which a 1960s spy series actually acknowledges that one of the genre's common "non-lethal" tropes, as it could potentially be in real life, is in fact lethal force.

In "Hearts and Minds", Locke hits Boone to knock him out, ties him up, and sends him on a Vision Quest by "treating" the wound with a hallucinogen. More realistic effects of a Tap On the head are shown in "The Other 48 Days", in which Eko kills two Others with a rock. The series is actually quite guilty of this, as characters would be knocked out with a tap every other episode but only when it would fit the plot. All the fighting scenes feature much harder blows then those who render them unconscious. Almost every major character took a beating at some point with a lot of hits on the head but we rarely see one fainting.

He heads over to her apartment, only to find her door open. While he's seeing if she's alive, the assailant pops out of one of the rooms-which McGee didn't check-and smacks him over the head with a lamp. Despite getting hit hard enough for the lamp to break, McGee is still clear enough to unholster his gun and take a few shots at the fleeing perp, missing by inches. Another painful subversion was when it was determined a man confessing to the murder of his fellow marine had actually Pistol Whipped him so he'd stop screaming after being wounded on a battlefield. The blow had cracked the skull and killed the man, his best friend, and the guilt had eaten at him for years.

Tap on the Head / int_90c73dda	comment	Almost always played straight in Animorphs, where anything from a gorilla fist to a lead fishing weight dropped from a great height can harmlessly render humans unconscious for a reasonable length of time, conveniently getting infested humans out of the way without the Animorphs having to kill them. When Tobias morphs Andalite for the first time, the Andalite whose shape he's taking, Ax, even teaches him how to perform a 'torf', or to hit human skulls with the flat of his tailblade to knock them out. In Megamorphs 1, Rachel flies into a tree while in eagle morph and has Easy Amnesia when she wakes up. Presumably the humans don't generally get that. In book 20, Tobias flies into a closed window as a hawk and doesn't appear to go unconscious but he is uselessly loopy and talking about Clue for the rest of the scene. In Visser, a Yeerk in the head of a woman who was knocked out like this mentions swelling inside of the skull and having to wait until it subsides and her host wakes up in order to do anything. The opening of Megamorphs 3 is the one time a blow to the head isn't harmless - a human-Controller that was smacked by a tiger has a partially crushed skull that doesn't allow the Yeerk to escape, but actually leaves him conscious and begging for help as his human host slowly dies.

It's eventually revealed in the player's final flashback that Nuzleaf (having been told by Ampharos about how to bring the partner back and unbeknownst to the player at the time) had lured Mew away from the player in order to set the plan of bringing the partner back into motion under the guise of trying to make Mew disappear. When the player realized Mew was gone, the screen turns black, and Nuzleaf had struck the player on the head, only indicated by a hitting sound, knocking the player out instantly and causing the headaches to occur.

Tap on the Head / int_9a7088bc	comment	Star Trek: The Original Series Legendary subversion: in the first season Mr. Spock was scripted to incapacitate a maddened Kirk by rapping him in the back of the head with the butt of a phaser pistol. Leonard Nimoy thought that uncivilized, so he and the director came up with a more "civilized" alternative: the Vulcan nerve pinch (AKA neck pinch). Spock repeatedly used the nerve pinch in subsequent episodes. In one of them ("I, Mudd"), the pinch failed because he was using it on an android. "Obsession". Ensign Garrovick tries to knock out Captain Kirk with a karate chop so he can be the one to lure the vampire cloud to the antimatter bomb. Kirk himself was not adverse to a chop or hammerblow now and again. Even McCoy has been seen doing this occasionally... A truer subversion is seen in "Mirror, Mirror", in which mirror!Spock is knocked out this way and Dr. McCoy declares that he'll die without immediate treatment. It may have averted the trope too far, though, considering the deadly object was a skull so fragile that it completely shattered after hitting Spock. It's difficult to imagine it would even knock him out in the first place, unless the skull was so hard it took a lot of blunt force to break it. In "Tomorrow Is Yesterday", Sulu knocks out a U.S. Air Force officer by hitting him in the neck with a karate chop.

During the Black Pearl's attack on Port Royal, Turner himself gets knocked out during his fight with the undead pirates and wakes up dazed the next morning. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has this happen to Will twice, once by a member of Davy Jones's crew and once by Jack. The only lasting damage Will suffers from either is a small cut to the forehead. Happens again to Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

Also subverted earlier in the movie when a dentist, about to remove one of Bartholomew's teeth, hits him over the head with a hammer to knock him out. It doesn't work, and Bartholomew just tells him to get on with it.

There is a long inner monologue about how a rap on the head is notoriously unreliable: the guard may come up screaming, several blows may be necessary to induce unconsciousness, and permanent damage may result. Additionally, this is one of her own guards, so she'd really rather avoid hitting him at all in the first place. Later on in the series, she shows a little girl she is held captive with her preferred way of silent subduing: A knife to the kidney. Where a blow to the head is unreliable and cutting the throat can be too messy and loud, a knife to the kidney puts the victim in so much pain that they can't even scream.

Fezzik knocks out a Shrieking Eel and accidentally knocks out the albino with a clout on the skull. To be fair, it's implied that he in fact killed the albino — later in the movie, Inigo asks where they put the wheelbarrow the albino had and Fezzik replies "Over the albino, I think."

Note 'non-lethal' here does not at all mean 'nobody gets hurt'; in the expansion, one NPC even calls you out, asking if you enjoy putting so many of her men into comas.

Tap on the Head / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Happens near-constantly to the Doctor. His advanced extraterrestrial brain justifies the lack of ill effects. The Third Doctor used "Venusian Aikido" to immobilise someone, which seemed to involve Jon Pertwee jabbing two fingers into someone's chest and shouting "Hai!" This is a preferred technique of classic Doctor Who baddies; a nondescript karate chop to the shoulder which had a 50/50 chance of knocking people out or killing them outright. In "Full Circle", the Doctor himself gets this treatment â€” keeping him from calming the alien child. In "The Masque of Mandragora", when the Doctor realizes that Sarah Jane is being kidnapped and tries to intervene, one mook takes him out with a rock to his head. Played with in the Tenth Doctor episode "The Idiot's Lantern". The Doctor is knocked unconscious by a punch to the jaw, but he only remains so for a few seconds and quickly gets back up in pursuit of the people who punched him.

Horatio challenged a resident sadistic bully for a duel. Clayton feels shamed that a boy much younger than himself stood up to him, and is afraid that Horatio will be killed because said bully counts as one of the best shots in the Navy. Clayton therefore decides to knock Horatio unconscious and fight the duel in proxy as Horatio's original second. The Indefatigable's crew take part in a night attack on a French ship. Archie Kennedy is having a fit which threatens to disclose their presence. Desperate Horatio taps him on head which solves the situation but leads to sad consequences, as the unconscious Archie is lost during their fight because the aforementioned bully untied the boat he was left in. This is based on a similar scene in the books (as explained in the Literature section, above), but Hornblower isn't sure if the man survived.

Tap on the Head / int_d5c2a7a3	comment	The Thief game series: attacks on unaware targets are more effective than those on alert targets. Hitting an unaware target with the blackjack will knock him/her out quickly and quietly. (If they're aware, they cannot be knocked unconscious but can take damage, although the attack is less effective than if they were unaware.) Though even if you use the blackjack, when a guard finds an unconscious person they will mistake it for a corpse. Justified in that they are never shown to actually check the body. The game itself distinguishes between a corpse and an unconscious body; in fact, if you throw an unconscious person into water, this counts as a murder, and changes the body's status from "unconscious" to "dead".

The jaw-punch version occurs in "Prophecy Girl", when Buffy settles the issue of who is going to fight the Master by punching Giles in the jaw, putting him to sleep just long enough for her to be off on the mission. Later Giles is seen nursing a bruise, but it seems no dental attention was required. The trope is subverted in "Dead Things" when Warren's ex-girlfriend Katrina is escaping the Trio's lair and plans to go to the police after their attempt to rape her.

Tap on the Head / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS Harder than usual because you can't do stun damage with regular unarmed attacks. People still lose consciousness by spending too long below zero HP, so you can fulfill the trope by doing that much damage, without causing any lasting injury by crippling a hit location. This means punching a guy in the chest several times is the most effective way to put him to sleep, if stunning weapons are unavailable. If you actually try konking someone over the head, you probably will knock them out... because with much extra damage a head-shot does you'll shoot him straight into unconsciousness. And possibly right past a death check too. Presuming the straight hit point damage doesn't do it, he has to make a stunning/knockdown check at -10 if he takes any damage to his brain at all, and any botch (pretty likely at -10) knocks him out anyways. You have to buy a supplement to get the optional detailed injury rules that can leave the victim brain damaged afterwards. A solar plexus shot (attack to the "vitals") does less bonus damage than a hit to the head, but it still does quite a bit extra, and has a stunning/knockdown roll at -5. So it probably will take them out, but they won't be unscathed... However, some supplements and versions of the rules intended to simulate settings where the trope is in effect, including the Discworld Roleplaying Game, have rules to allow a tap on the head safely to induce unconsciousness. Explicitly defied in the solo adventure included in the main rulebook — when you're given the opportunity to knock a napping guard unconscious the adventure explicitly points out that there's no safe and reliable way to knock someone out, and there's indeed a chance you'll end up accidentally killing him instead.

As some Embeds work on "everybody knows..." logic, the game outlines how a blow to the head can be really harmful... then gives demons using this power the ability to not only knock someone out with a head blow, but declare the conditions under which they'll wake up (e.g., "once I'm out of the building").

He's only out for a couple seconds, though; and "unconscious" wasn't the specific intent, just a bonus. Wash gets one in â€œOur Mrs Reynoldsâ€� because Seduction-Proof Marriage keeps him from kissing Saffron. His head is still hurting after he wakes up so itâ€™s possibly an aversion, though he doesnâ€™t seem to have too many after-effects.

Neither method is especially likely to cause unconsciousness with a single blow, however, and both will leave the recipient with a 'residual' Medium Wound which imposes a -3 penalty to all rolls (and chance of worsening injury in response to strenuous activity) for at least the next 5-6 weeks of game time...

When asked by his guard what the item is, he replies "Lateral... cranial... impact... enhancer", and smacks the guard across the head with it. This happens all the time in MacGyver, what with his no-guns policy. The likelihood of knocking a bad guy out with a single blow is inversely proportional to his position on the bad guy ladder.

When he discovers the masquerade he knocks out one of the fake soldiers with a single blow on the back of the head and puts on his uniform for the purpose of Dressing as the Enemy. In fact, this was done to deal with troublesome guards by the team on a semi-regular basis in the early seasons, though poor choreography often made it look like they were knocking people out by slapping them between the shoulder blades. Later seasons switched to using Instant Sedation using a tack coated with an unspecified knockout drug.
