That Satisfying "Crunch!"	comment	The visceral joy one gets from ruthlessly smashing or otherwise destroying some inanimate object, especially if said object (or whatever it represents) has caused you a great deal of annoyance. Implements favored for this kind of catharsis include, but are not limited to: Baseball bats, sledgehammers, chainsaws, woodchippers, heavy construction equipment, clubs, and in some cases high explosives. As a general rule, the more over the top the means of destruction, the greater the satisfaction. For obvious reasons, this is rarely something you can do in real life without legal consequences at the least. Sister trope of Agitated Item Stomping. Ring-Ring-CRUNCH! is a subtrope. Compare Percussive Therapy when the item being smashed was unrelated to the cause of the rage. Compare Dartboard of Hate when the item bears the image of a disliked person. Die, Chair, Die! may also be related to this when used as a Catharsis Factor. Not to be confused with Sickening "Crunch!", which involves living beings instead.

That Satisfying "Crunch!" / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes had its share. One good example was "Tugboat Granny," when Sylvester's motorboat sped down a waterfall and had a crash landing. The motor runs in the totaled vessel; Sylvester pounds it with a club. The motor sputters; Sylvester gives it one more good pound, and it promptly wilts.

That Satisfying "Crunch!" / int_ba6cc3a1	comment	An interesting and incredibly dark case with Lobelia in Granblue Fantasy. He's a serial killer who causes a Sickening "Crunch!" with his victims, but the crunch is actually this trope to him, and the entire reason he kills. He even records the crunches because he loves them so much. Ultimately, his own bones crunching is what satisfies him the most, which has him stop killing because he's so satisfied by hearing it as he's constantly killed and revived by his summon companion.

The Soviets didn't have one, but the Germans did. However, the Soviets couldn't bring themselves to tell the Germans how bad the radiation was, so months of effort getting the robot was wasted when it was fried after four seconds.
