Suppose you either are facing truly insurmountable odds, or are just the kind of quitter who panics at the first sign of trouble. You might want to surrender. A good way to do so non-verbally is to hoist and wave a white flag. Don't use it just to lure your enemies closer for a clear shot, though — that is perfidy, a war crime; moreover, in the future, white flags might tend to be less accepted. White flags can also be used for negotiating things other than surrender (e.g., a prisoner exchange) — the basic meaning behind the white flag is "Don't shoot, we wish to talk about something." Sometimes a character will raise a white flag, only for it to be shot off or filled with bullet holes. In this instance, fight away. |

In the Honorverse, the universal sign of surrender for space ships is to "strike the wedge", or deactivate one's impeller drive, which leaves the ship at the mercy of its opponents. Since the gravitic senors that are used to detect wedges operate at faster than light speeds this allows for a surrender to be communicated more rapidly than it would using standard lightspeed communications, an important consideration when fights can take place as a distance measured in light-minutes. |

In the Looney Tunes short "My Favorite Duck", Daffy Duck antagonizes Porky Pig during a camping trip, using the excuse that it's not duck season yet and there's a fine for even hurting a duck. Eventually, duck season opens and Daffy desperately tries to stop Porky from shooting him. As a last resort, he waves a white flag; Porky blasts it full of holes, which spell out "Start Praying, Duck!" | |

Space Runaway Ideon: After a series of inconclusive battles, the human colonists of Planet Solo decide to negotiate a ceasefire with the Human Aliens who’ve been attacking them, and raise white flags over their starship to display their peaceful intentions (having failed to reach them by radio — their communication technology is too different). Unfortunately, to said aliens, raising a white flag is a declaration of total war and lifelong vendetta, and scramble their forces in a panic. By the time the humans realize their mistake and raise more appropriate colors, the next attack has already begun. | |

Subverted in Westworld's episode "TrompeLOeil". The Confederados trap William, Dolores, and Lawrence/El Lazlo on the train after the latter stole their nitro and replaced it with tequila. A boxcar door opens and out gallops one of Lazlo's men, carrying a white flag. Just as the Confederado officer gets close, he notices clear liquid flowing out of the man's ear. Lazlo uses the distraction to shoot his already-dead man, filled with some of the nitro, and give them a chance to make a break for it. | |

In the early-'50s cartoon "Southern-Fried Rabbit" of Bugs Bunny has the rabbit waving one so he can ask Yosemite Sam why he's guarding the Mason-Dixon line. It turns out that Sam has orders from General Lee to do so, and he doesn't see a little thing like "the war being over for nearly 90 years" as a reason to stop. In "Homeless Hare," Bugs spends the bulk of the cartoon battling an obnoxious construction worker who has razed his hole in the ground so a skyscraper can go up. After a typical Bugs once-over, he issues the ultimatum "Well, toodles...do I get my home back or do I have to get tough?" Amidst the rubble and ruins Bugs issued, the construction worker puts up a white flag. |

In Tyranny, the blue flag serves the same purpose: a banner of peace and negotiation that even Evil Overlord Kyros will respect. On certain paths, the Villain Protagonist, working for Kyros, can choose to honor or defy this flag. The former sets them on the path of becoming a Noble Demon or even making a Heel–Face Turn, while the latter earns them serious Villain Cred for the scheming, manipulation, and sheer cruelty needed to get that many Rebellion leaders together in one place for slaughter. | |

An episode of M*A*S*H had the compound under attack by a lone sniper hiding behind a bush. A helicopter arrives and opens fire on the sniper. After a few tense, silent moments, the sniper raises and waves a white flag. Earlier in the episode, Hawkeye and Trapper employ a white flag in order to get casualties out of the ambulance truck for surgery. It doesn't quite work as the sniper opened fire anyway. |

Subverted in Assault on Precinct 13 (1976). After the initial exchange of gunfire, several of the gangbangers besieging the police station approach holding a white sheet. But instead of negotiating they smash a bottle of blood on the pavement and leave the sheet there as well, which is marked with symbols painted in blood. Turns out it's a cholo, a Blood Oath taken by the gang members to kill everyone there. | |

The Invisible Man also produces one after he's made visible thanks to Master Roshi's Nose Bleed, losing any possible chance of winning against Yamcha. |

Pokémon: The Series: One Kanto episode has Ash and Co. trying to help a Paras evolve, by throwing fights so it can earn experience. One instance has Pikachu dropping on the ground and waving a white flag. In the Johto, saga, after the elders defeated several bandits trying to steal Diglett and Dugtrio, the bandits waved a white flag of surrender. Then again, they weren't actually trying to steal the Diglett/Dugtrio so much as they are trying to test their elders as to whether they can continue to defend their area. |

Tom and Jerry: The mid-60s cartoon "Matinee Mouse" starts off with footage from the original shorts of the two going at each other and then new animation of them presenting white flags, calling a halt to their fighting (albeit temporarily). At the end of the shorts "The Little Orphan" and "Two Little Indians", Tom, after getting a particularly bad beating from Jerry, pulls this off. Both shorts end with Tom joining in with Jerry's activities. |

In Deadpool (2016), the titular Merc With a Mouth makes an improvised one out of his underpants. He's this close to finally tracking down Francis, there's a large, armed squadron between him and Deadpool, and DP left his guns in the taxi. He therefore offers his opponents the opportunity to cease hostilities on the grounds that they're just getting paid, and he won't hurt them if they don't hurt him. They refuse. Deadpool kills everyone (except Bob) and writes Francis' name with their corpses. | |

Used for symbolism in The New Order Last Days Of Europe. If nuclear war breaks out, the last hidden event that plays afterwards shows humans landing on the moon again, untold decades to centuries after the end of civilization. They find a white flag on the moon. At the beginning of the game, the Nazis planted a flag on the moon; now, all those years after the collapse of the world they'd built, exposure to the sun has faded it into a flag of surrender. | |

If the spotlight's still on him when the time runs out, Wario hoists a pair of white flags and you get credit for successfully clearing the microgame. | |
