Standard Pirate punishment: extending a wooden board or similar object over the side of a ship, and forcing the intended victim to step off the far end and presumably drown or be eaten by sharks or crocodiles. This is a good scene for building suspense, if taken slowly. It is also an excellent opportunity for last-ditch-bravado and summing up antagonistic relationships. The plankee often tells the villain exactly what he thinks of him, and vice versa. The victim is usually bound. An occasional twist is for an unbound victim to grab the plank on the way down or otherwise use it as a springboard into combat. Real Life pirates very rarely if ever executed people this way: as with The Mafia and their alleged fondness for Cement Shoes, they usually preferred to just shoot 'em and then dump the body overboard. Considering that in the sail-ship era most sailors couldn't swim, even that much effort could be excessive compared to simply tossing the victim overboard; blinding, binding, weighting them, or giving them a plank, would only mean wasting a perfectly good planking or rope that could be used to maintain the ship. Binding was traditionally used in one case only: as a punishment for murder. In that case, the body of the murdered sailor would be bound together with the killer. A related punishment is Keelhauling, where the victim is thrown overboard with a rope tied to them, then hauled across (or if they're really unlucky, along) the ship's keel and pulled up the other side. This wasn't necessarily fatal, but the barnacles that are usually found attached to the bottom of any ship made this a painfully unpleasant experience. The intended function of a ship's plank was to allow the crew to sail up to and walk onto another ship, in case you were wondering. One possible interpretation of the myth was the pirates' habit of using the crew of the captured ship to drag valuables (which were, well, the purpose of the attack) to their own ship, walking the planks that formed a "bridge" between the two vessels. When the pirate ship departed, if the attackers did not really feel like shooting the crewmen dead and/or taking them as captives, they could just make the survivors jump from those planks into the water in a desperate attempt to reach their own ship. Not that it added a lot of chances of survival (considering the ship in question could be set on fire), but made the pirates' departure more, ahem, entertaining. Since Space Is an Ocean, Space Pirates have a parallel punishment with a similar dramatic role: the victims are Thrown Out the Airlock. Sky Pirates seem to prefer the more old-fashioned plank—not surprising, since the airship's altitude would make it especially dangerous to the hero. See Ordered to Die for other forms of, well, ordering people to die. |

Happens three times in Sluggy Freelance. The first time is in an early arc where Bun-Bun decides to "play" pirate in North Virginia. He makes a rich, elderly couple walk the plank off their own yacht. Fortunately for them they were in the shallows, and for that bit of bad navigation Bun-Bun makes Kiki walk the plank as well, telling her to "roll those two lardasses into the deep end" when she gets down there. The second time is during the "Oceans Unmoving" story arc, where Calix and Honest Stu are forced to walk the plank by the pirates and leaf people combined. This is considered the worst fate possible in Timeless Space. The third time is during the sea voyage to Africa. The captain agrees to allow Riff to build one on his ship, after he learns that all the carrot cakes have been stolen. Of course, Riff adds explosives, which go off when a seagull lands on the plank, damaging the ship. The captain quickly creates a plank out of a folding deck chair and makes Riff walk it. |

Demons of the Deep is kicked off by one such instance when right in the opening backstory, you get captured alive by pirates who killed your crew. Being the only survivor, you're then told to step off a plank of the pirate's ship, much to the cheering of several pirates. Amazingly enough, instead of drowning, you land in a magic circle in the middle of the ocean, which allows you to breathe underwater, thereby kickstarting your quest. | |

Puzzle Pirates: You can use the /plank command to eject other players from your ship (or any ship that you are, by virtue of your rank in a crew, authorized to command). If the pirate made to walk the plank is a jobber (that is, hired help rather than a member of the crew) then their employment with the crew is also automatically terminated so they can't just hop back on. Hilariously, a captain can inflict this on himself. | |

Amagi Brilliant Park: When real pirates show up and take over the theme park, they force a few people to walk the swimming pool's high dive board... after filling the pool with some tentacle monsters. The monsters molest but don't harm the victims; it's just for the pirates' amusement. Moffle has an Indulgent Fantasy Segue where he epically breaks free and defeats the pirates, but when he actually tries it he slips and falls into the water. Also, one of the other, less scrupulous mascots, Tiramie, temporarily pulls a Face–Heel Turn, forcing some of the heroes onto the plank. He tries to do this to his Sitcom Archnemesis Isuzu Sento...but the Death Glare and killing aura scares him and he takes steps back on the plank. |

In the Disney Peter Pan movie, after capturing the Darling kids and the Lost Boys, Captain Hook offers them a choice — join his crew and become pirates, or walk the plank. Wendy, the oldest of the Darlings, chooses the plank. Peter is able to rescue her before the big splash, confusing Hook and his crew. One of the prequels, Disney Fairies The Pirate Fairy averts this. The pirates want to have Zarina walk 'a tiny little plank', but Captain James Hook gives this remark. |

A Woody Woodpecker cartoon had Woody being forced to walk the plank several times by a pirate dog. Each time he did it, Woody would walk over the edge of the plank, upside-down along the underside of it and would then somehow come up behind the dog and jab him in the rear, causing him to jump into the water. | |

Harlock: Space Pirate has a variation as you'd expect. Yama and four others climb to the top of a mesa to where the Arcadia has landed, looking to join its crew. They are made to stand on the edge of the loading ramp on flaps sticking out over the abyss. Those who don't correctly answer the question: "Why do we sail?" have their flap dropped from under them. When the Arcadia flies off, the audience is shown the ones who fell survived because they landed in Soft Water. | |

In The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #2, Indy and Girl of the Week Edith Dunne are forced to walk the plank by the treacherous Mr. Black. This saves their lives when Black's freighter is torpedoed by a Nazi U-boat: Indy and Edith are flung into the ocean rather than going down with the ship. | |

Like the Woody Woodpecker example below, the Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines "Magnificent Muttley" segment "Muttley On The Bounty" has the snickering canine forced to walk the plank of the H.M.S. Bounty after biting Captain Bligh's (Dastardly's) hand when attempting to take a medal from him. Muttley walks to the edge then under the plank. When Blight wonders what went wrong and run onto the plank's edge, Muttley is on the deck sawing the plank off. | |

In High Diving Hare, Yosemite Sam forces Bugs Bunny to do a high-diving act, and Bugs asks him to look away so he can put on his bathing suit. However, this was actually so he can flip the diving board around and trick Sam into thinking he's diving, leading Sam to walk off the board and into the water. | |

The Transformers: The Movie has a non-pirate version. The Quintessons enjoy taunting prisoners by forcing them onto a plank that's hanging over a Sharkticon pool and conducting a mock trial. Regardless of whether the prisoner is found guilty or innocent, they're dropped into the pool so that the Quintessons can watch them get devoured by the Sharkticons. | |

Surprisingly averted in the pirate manga One Piece. It is especially noteworthy with how One Piece has a lot of so-called "Devil Fruit users" - people who have been granted superpowers by eating magical fruits but paid for the powers by losing their ability to swim - so making them walk the plank would be quite the effective tactic against them. | |

This was constantly threatened in Scooby Doo! Pirates Ahoy! probably because the pirates really can't do anything violent on Scooby Doo. Original series episode "Go Away, Ghost Ship" had Shaggy and Scooby aboard Redbeard's ship, hiding under a wooden washtub. They slide around the deck, actually unable to see ahead of them. They wander onto the plank and eventually tumble off. |

Doctor Who: In the appropriately named story "The Pirate Planet", the Captain gives this description: "The theory is very simple. You walk along it. At the end, you fall off. Drop one thousand feet. Dead." Atypically, the plank is over a cliff, not the ocean (the Captain's ship is the entire planet of Zanak, and his base is in a mountain). Also seen in "Enlightenment", with the Eternals vanishing the moment they go over the side (the human bodies they inhabit, of course, would not be so unaffected). "The Vampires of Venice": The House of Calvierri, who are not pirates but Fish People masquerading as Venetian nobles, execute people this way. In this case, the threat isn't from the short drop into the water but the creatures in the water. The Eleventh Doctor almost does this in "The Curse of the Black Spot". |

Star Trek: Generations. While on a sailing ship holodeck program, Lt. Worf has to leap from the tip of the plank and grab his commander's cap (suspended overhead) as part of the ceremony marking his promotion. When he does this without falling off, Riker decides to make things more interesting by making the plank disappear. Evidently that was an error. Picard: "Number One, it's retract the plank, not remove the plank." (or, judging from Riker's grin, it wasn't.) Data wonders why everybody else thinks Worf's impromptu dive is hilarious. Beverly Crusher makes the mistake of encouraging him to "get into the spirit", so Data pushes her overboard. Instead of more laughter, Data is met with horrified expressions. |

On Once Upon a Time, when Captain Hook retakes the Jolly Roger from Blackbeard, he forces Blackbeard to walk the plank and offers the rest of the crew two choices: accept him as the new captain or follow the old one. Ariel also walks the plank, but voluntarily. (She re-assumes her natural mermaid form upon entering the water, so she's alright.) | |

In Fortunately, the Milk, the time-traveling protagonist is captured by pirates. He insists on being made to walk the plank, on the grounds that that's when pirates' victims are most often rescued. He has to explain the process to the pirates, who are relatively historically accurate and have never done it before (usually if they want to get rid of someone, they just slit their throat). | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Chapter 268. This was how Queen Arika was supposed to be executed, walking off a plank settled over a huge canyon full of monsters. Luckily for her, Ala Alba (commanded by Nagi, who is able to catch her and drag her out without his powers) is there to save her. | |

Five Nights at Fuckboy's: This is one of Foxy's attacks. Its low damage is compensated for by its high chance to inflict paralysis, making it a Game-Breaker and a life-saver against most bosses (since Contractual Boss Immunity is rare in this series). The absurdity of making someone walk the plank in a Suck E. Cheese's is lampshaded in the move's description. | |

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. The Hooded Claw attempts to force Penelope to walk the plank in the episode "Arabian Desert Danger". And, yes, the incongruity of forcing someone to walk the plank in the desert was Lampshaded. The cannonballs were an interesting addition, though. | |

In Only Fools and Horses episode "May the Force Be With You", Del's school rival and police officer Roy Slater complains that he was always the one who had to walk the plank when they played pirates in the local park pond as kids. Del points out that they did let him play Bluebeard once. Slater responds that was the day that Bluebeard had to walk the plank. This was referenced in the pilot episode of the Rock & Chips trilogy when after being told by the school gym teacher to buzz off, Del and his gang suggest heading to the park, and Slater protests that he doesn't want to walk the plank again. Del assures him that grown-ups don't play pirates. However, when the gang are seen hanging out in the Ritz Cinema (where Del's mother Joan works), Slater is soaking wet. |

In any Fighting Fantasy book with a maritime setting, you can expect this to happen to you. Demons of the Deep is kicked off by one such instance when right in the opening backstory, you get captured alive by pirates who killed your crew. Being the only survivor, you're then told to step off a plank of the pirate's ship, much to the cheering of several pirates. Amazingly enough, instead of drowning, you land in a magic circle in the middle of the ocean, which allows you to breathe underwater, thereby kickstarting your quest. Bloodbones have you being cornered by pirates led by the evil Captain Bloodbones, and forced to walk the plank to your doom. You Do Not Go Gentle however, choosing to fight before leaping off the plank, and in the process remove the hand of Bloodbones' second-in-command, Mirel, who later fights you with a Hook Hand. |
