Bob suffers a Tap on the Head or some other form of Instant Sedation. The world goes black... The next thing he (or we) know is that he's somewhere else — and soaking freezing wet, because whoever roused him decides to do it by throwing a bucket of cold water onto him. This generally means that Bob has fallen into the hands of people who don't care much about his comfort, and that imminent interrogation of the not-very-nice sort is coming. (If Bob is in a cell, Strapped to an Operating Table, or tied to a chair, that's a pretty good sign that there's worse to come.) But it can also be done by friendly characters — to wake Bob quickly in an emergency, to attempt to jolt him back to his senses when he's panicking or delirious, or simply for laughs. Bonus comedy points if Bob comes awake on his own but the other character pitches the water in his face anyway. Tends to overlap with Waking Up Elsewhere. Examples |

In Gate: Princess Piña Co Lada takes a nap and tells the head maid to wake her up if anything important happens. The maid promises to wake her up even if she has to dump a bucket of water on her. Later, she does dump a bucket of water on her. When Itami gets knocked out by a door, Tuka pours her canteen in his face. |

Cowboy Bebop (2021). In "Callisto Soul", Faye Valentine crashes her spacecraft doing a Heroic Sacrifice, but we find she's still alive via a POV shot of Ein licking her face. Faye is suitably disgusted once she wakes up. | |

Ultraman Taro does this to a kaiju, of all things. One episode involves Veron, the harmless monster pet to an alien boy-band called the Space Boys crashing into Tokyo while drunk on sake, where it goes on an unintentional rampage while intoxicated and tap dancing to music. The final battle had Ultraman Taro using the King Bracelet to summon a giant bucket of water (one large enough to be held by an Ultra) and splashing its contents on Veron, waking him up, at which point the embarrassed monster quickly leaves and is never seen again. | |

An episode of El ChapulÃn Colorado involved a couple trying to sleep. The wife couldn't due to a cat meowing outside, but the husband had it much easier, to the point he wouldn't wake up unless she splashed him with a bucket of water. As a Running Gag, every time she did this, the man would scramble for the window and jump down, because he apparently was dreaming about being in a sinking ship. | |

This has been done at least once in Ranma ½ when Akane found Shampoo sleeping with an oblivious Ranma. (She'd crawled into his futon sometime during the night.) Akane woke him up with a bucket of cold water which, thanks to his curse, also turned him into a girl. Added hilarity came from the fact that Shampoo didn't know about the curse and was trying to kill "Girl-Type Ranma". | |

Heroes In the final episode, chapter 3, Ando gives himself the ability to amplify other abilities after injecting himself with the serum. This causes him to black out, and he is subsequently awoken by Matt, who pours a glass of water on his face. Early on in Season 2, The half-naked, bloodied, tied-to-a-chair Peter is awoken with a bucket of the wet stuff to the face by the Irish gangsters who are holding him captive. During Volume 4, Mohinder gets woken up with a bucket of water thrown at him in the classic tied-to-a-chair situation after being recaptured by Danko's team... although they actually don't proceed to give him the third degree. But it didn't do his already wild, shaggy, frizzy hair any favors. |

During the events of Curious George Takes A Job, George trips out and then passes out on the floor after smelling the contents of a bottle of ether while waiting to be picked up from the hospital by The Man with the Yellow Hat. This is how the doctor, nurse, and The Man find George when they return, and they wake George up by putting him in the shower. George is very surprised and confused when he comes to. | |

Manuela uses a glass of water on Iván for that purpose when she finds him sleeping on a deckchair near the pool after yet another night of partying and needs to talk to him before starting work. |

An accidental version in Mad Max: Fury Road. Max is still chained to his former captor Nux, dragging his unconscious body with him until he comes across Furiosa and the Five Wives washing themselves down with a fire hose. Max forces them at gunpoint to hand over the hose and greedily gulps down the water. As Max has his eyes (and shotgun) on the women the whole time, he doesn't notice the water splashing on Nux who's lying at his feet. | |

When the long awaited fight between Sean Thornton and his brother-in-law Will Danaher finally starts in the climax of The Quiet Man, the crowd of onlookers is delighted at the spectacle and wants it to keep going, so at various times when one of the combatants is knocked down or seems beaten, the crowd splashes a bucket of water on them to revive them and prolong the fight. It's a Running Gag that Thornton is actually fine and about to get up on his own each time the overly enthusiastic crowd douses him with water, leaving him to react to the shock of the cold water with a sarcastic "Thanks..." each time it happens. | |

In Quigley Down Under, Quigley sends a message in which he offers to spare any of Martson's men who leave Marton's compound before the next day. Marston assumes that Quigley is using a ploy like Marston himself would, and that Quigley intends to attack during the night when their guard is lowered. So Martson forces his mooks to stay awake and on guard duty all night long. One method used to keep them awake is throwing a bucket of water on one of the men. | |

In El Chavo del ocho, each time the title character gets scared he immediately paralyzes — after adopting an awkward pose nicknamed "la garrotera". The only way to snap off from this is by splashing water on him. Normally a small splash in his face works, but meaner-spirited characters often empty whole buckets on the poor kid. One episode had Quico and El Chavo fainting after being kissed by Patty, and being waken up by splashing water on them. Then Don Ramón had the same with Gloria, and Chavo calls dibs to wake him up... except he grabs a bucket full of bricks instead of water. |

The Professionals In "Stakeout", an atomic bomb is about to go off, but the bomb maker decides he doesn't want to die for the cause. Before he can defuse it however, he's knocked out by his more fanatical colleague. Doyle empties the contents of a fire bucket over his face to bring him round again. In "Long Shot", an assassin tries to shoot Cowley while he's taking a shower. Fortunately Cowley has been forewarned, leaving the shower running while he knocks out the assassin from behind. Bodie and Doyle then wake the assassin up by dunking his head under the still-running shower. |

Kingsman: The Secret Service: Eggsy is woken this way by his team mates once as part of their bullying campaign. Earlier in the film, the room was turned into a Drowning Pit, and all of the candidates woke up once the water level was high enough. The prank was therefore making Eggsy think this was happening again, making it a rather cruel prank. | |

In season seven of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Scoobies capture Andrew — who barely qualifies as a villain and is regarded as more of a pest, and so the capture-and-interrogation routine is entirely Played for Laughs. While he's unconscious and tied to a chair, Dawn tries to wake him up, first by slapping him and later by throwing cold water in his face. Neither method works, but he comes to on his own before she can try throwing hot water on him. Since Buffy doesn't approve of this, Dawn and Anya try to pretend the water came from Andrew drooling all over himself. | |

This is what people do on multiple occasions to attempt to revive Grace Marks, protagonist of Alias Grace, after she faints from strong emotions or shock. Emphasis on attempt, as every time she faints, she faints so deep that the water (or indeed anything else) doesn't even come close to making her stir, so everyone eventually gives up, leaving her to wake up from her dead faint naturally on her own many hours later. | |

Unfortunately, he realizes to his horror that his powers are on the verge of disappearing, leaving him about to drown. Upon wakening, he realizes the water was actually from a pitcher that Superman used to wake him after he overslept on a work day. | |

In Charlotte's Web, farmhand Lurvey revives Wilbur with a bucket of water when the latter faints after overhearing the humans talk about butchering him. Later, when Wilbur faints from Stage Fright at the county fair, Lurvey runs off to get water again, but instead Templeton revives Wilbur by biting his tail. Lurvey reappears with the water moments later, impulsively throws it before noticing that Wilbur has already revived, and accidentally drenches Mr. Zuckerman and Avery. | |
