Shooting an apple or some other item off another character's head, to show off one's Improbable Aiming Skills. Usually with a bow and arrow.
This is based entirely on the legend of William Tell, though the same story has existed before his time in similar variations. In the legend, William Tell, who originally came from Bürglen, was known as an expert shot with the crossbow. In his time, the Habsburg emperors of Austria were seeking to dominate Uri. Albrecht (or Hermann) Gessler, the newly appointed Austrian Vogt of Altdorf, raised a pole in the village's central square and hung his hat on top of it, demanding that all the townsfolk bow before the hat. When Tell passed by the hat without bowing to it, he was arrested. (In some versions, Tell told Gessler that he didn't know about the law, but then boldly insulted him by saying he'd never have bowed before it even if he had.) As Cool and Unusual Punishment, he was forced to shoot an apple off the head of his son, Walter. Otherwise, both would be executed. Tell was promised freedom if he successfully made the shot. On 18 November 1307, Tell split an apple balanced on top of his son's head with a bolt from his crossbow. Gessler noticed that before the shot Tell had removed two crossbow bolts from his quiver, not one, and after the shot asked him why. Tell replied that if he had killed his son, he would have turned the crossbow on Gessler himself. An enraged Gessler had Tell arrested, but he escaped then later ambushed Gessler and shot him through the heart.
Needless to say (and since when has that ever stopped us from saying?), Don't Try This at Home. There's a reason the trope-naming incident was such a big deal: It's shooting a deadly weapon at a small object near a person's head. Mess up, and someone is likely going to become seriously injured or even die.
Sometimes played for laughs like the target suggesting a more suitable fruit on his head, like a watermelon!
A common variant involves shooting something, like a cigarette or a straw, out of the target's mouth. Compare Close-Call Haircut and Hat Damage. Sister trope to Near-Miss Groin Attack, which involves the other end of the body.
Compare Splitting the Arrow, the signature feat of another legendary Master Archer. Also compare Knife-Throwing Act, another high-stakes display.

In the first Doom novel, Flynn Taggart reminisces on the day his comrade and best friend Arlene Sanders first joined the Marines and took care of any latent Stay in the Kitchen mentality they had by participating in a William Telling contest with the best marksman in the unit. They both took a turn with an apple on the head and being the shooter, and both hit the apple. Some of the guys started calling her "Will" afterwards. It's the first hint of her marksmanship, which Flynn admits is much better than his.

In the 2000 Arabian Nights mini-series, one of Scheherazade's stories concerns a prince who sets out to obtain a great treasure. As he is justly proud of his archery skills, the guardians of the treasure tell him he must prove himself worthy of it by shooting a target balanced on a child's head. It turns out to be a Secret Test of Character: when he declines to take the shot, admitting he's not certain he won't hit the child, he passes the test.

Played with in an episode of Batman. Alfred attempts to show off his archery skills and places an apple on Dick Grayson's head. Bruce stops him saying it's not worth taking the risk, so Dick places the apple on a stationary target. Alfred shoots and misses. Had they gone through with it the arrow would have hit Dick right between the eyes.

Arrow:
In "Vendetta", Oliver demonstrates his marksmanship by shooting objects out of the air after Helena tosses them. When she picks up a tennis ball, he shoots it out of her hand while she is still holding it.
In "Vertigo", Oliver is suffering from the after-effects of being injected with the eponymous drug. Diggle holds a tennis ball next to his head and says that if Oliver can shoot it then he is fit to go out. Oliver nocks an arrow and sights on the ball before deciding his aim is too bad to risk the shot. He leaves anyway, saying he doesn't need the bow.

One time on Bones, when she and Booth are undercover at the circus doing a Knife-Throwing Act, she makes him throw a knife at an oversized prop apple on top of her head. She sprungs it on him all of a sudden during the show. She then puts on a prop nose, visibly worrying him (and the team watching back in the institute). Made funnier by the fact that she is wearing an eye-patch at the time.

Merrie Melodies:
"Daffy Duck and Egghead" (1938) has Daffy placing an apple on his head so Egghead can shoot it. But he misses each time, no matter how close Daffy gets to him. Daffy chucks the apple, gives Egghead a tin cup of pencils, a pair of sunglasses and a "Blind" sign around his neck.
In "Early to Bet" (1951), this is one of the penalties the cat is subjected to after losing a card game to a bulldog.
In "Upswept Hare" (1953), Bugs Bunny bets Elmer Fudd that he can shoot an apple off Elmer's head, using a shotgun and looking in a mirror. Elmer chuckles when he wins the bet (despite the blast to the face).

Fist of the North Star used this as a Kick the Dog moment in an early episode, with one of Diamond's men forcing a villager to try to shoot a can off the head of his son with a bow and arrow. When the father can't go through with it, the scumbag takes it upon himself to "help" him, taking hold of the bow and arrow in a Hands-On Approach fashion, but deliberately shaking up the poor guy's aim just to be a sadistic asshole. When the arrow finally does get launched, Kenshiro intervenes before it can go into the boy's throat, catching the arrow between two fingers with Nishi Shinkuu Ha before sending it into the mook's shoulder.

The earliest version of this trope may be from the 12th century, in Saxo Grammaticus' version of the story of Palnatoki, whom he calls Toko (Gesta Danorum Book 10, chapter 7). Toko is made to shoot an apple from the head of the future king Sven Forkbeard, his foster son. Notable that it's Svein's real father Harald Bluetooth who knowingly does this to his biological son.

In Married... with Children, Kelly becomes a skilled archer and accepts her opponent's challenge to shoot an apple on Bud's head. She balks at going through with it, not wanting to hurt Bud, but when her opponent accuses her of cowardice, she shoots the apple without warning, causing Bud to pass out and, upon reviving, regress to toddlerhood.

James Bond does this in The Man with the Golden Gun. Infiltrating Scaramanga's business as his assistant, Bond is told to liven up the festivities after a meeting between criminals at Scaramanga's unfinished hotel. He asks to borrow Scaramanga's gun, and uses it to shoot a pineapple that a singer is wearing on her head.

An episode of Total Drama Island had a "Reverse Willam Tell" challenge, wherein one member of each team must balance an arrow on their heads, while a teammate must fire crabapplesnote According to the challenge briefing. They actually look more like normal apples. from a slingshot—blindfolded, no less—to try to knock the arrow off.

In Sonmi's storyline in Cloud Atlas, Boom-Sook Kim gets drunk and does this to Sonmi after his friends mock his marksmanship. He starts with a melon and moves down to increasingly smaller fruits. This is what leads to Mephi taking Sonmi away from him and placing her in a more friendly environment.

The Muppet Show:
In the episode guest-starring Alice Cooper, a William Tell routine was playing onstage, but all that is seen are the stray arrows falling backstage. At the end, the boy has an arrow through his head. "You know me. In one ear and out the other."
Another example has an orchestra performing the William Tell Overture and finishing with the cellist firing the bow from his cello to shoot an apple off Beauregarde's head.

Samurai Champloo. In "The Art of Altercation", our three adventurers are (as usual) broke, so raise money with a demonstration of their swordplay. Mugen and Jin are blindfolded and have to cut two fruits balanced one-on-top-of-the-other upon a nervous Fuu's head. It doesn't help that Mugen and Jin are visibly hung-over from last night's debauchery.

Sonic does this to one of Robotnik's robots in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Getting up in Robin Hood garb and balancing an apple on his head, Sonic tauntingly asks the robot (Called Dragon Breath in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine) if he's ever heard of William Tell. Infuriated, Dragon Breath throws his spiked club at Sonic, but the hedgehog's super speeds allows him to dodge just in time, so that the only damage done is that apple is split in half... and the tree behind Sonic falls over onto Dragon Breath.

In the James Bond film Skyfall, Big Bad Raoul Silva does a particularly cruel version of this trope to Severine, with a glass of whisky on her head and flintlock pistols, and forces Bond to play the game. Bond misses, but Silva deliberately shoots her in the face. This example has a subtle difference from the original tale. The goal was to knock the glass off her head, not shoot it. So, by killing Severine, Silva actually won the contest, because the glass fell off her head as she slumped to the ground.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
An example involving Firebending: in a flashback to Zuko's childhood, Azula demonstrates a "game" by fireblasting an apple set on Mai's head. She successfully hit the apple, but Mai starts freaking out from having a burning apple on her head and Zuko, trying to help her, accidentally knocks her into the fountain. All this because Azula suspected that Mai has a crush on Zuko.
The extra comic "Going Home Again" shows how Zuko and Mai get together. After Azula ruins the dinner she set up by giggling in the bushes with Ty Lee, the couple go on a walk where they run into Jin. Mai, suspecting a history, demonstrates her knife throwing prowess by standing Zuko in front of a fountain, sticking a fish on his head and then chucking an icicle at the fish. She then offers Jin another icicle to try it out for herself. Jin hurls it a Zuko who dives out of the way and falls into the fountain. And to top it all off, Mai leans over him and says, "Now we're even."

In The Musketeers, this is used as a form of Perp Sweating. When it doesn't seem to be having the desired effect, D'Artagnan hands his musket to Cadet Brujon, who holds it nervously as he aims shakily at the apple. Once the Mook has told the Musketeers everything they want to know, Porthos throws the apple in the air, and Brujon hits it with a single shot.

In one book of The Lightbringer Series, Gunner, generally regarded as the greatest shot in the world, claims he can do this with a captive Gavin Guile. Gavin ups the stakes by putting the apple in his mouth and presenting his profile instead of the traditional shot off the top of the head. Even further complicating this is the fact that they're doing this on a rocking boat rather than on land. Gunner nails the shot.

Blood Punch: Russell, wanting to make sure that Milton hasn't developed any feelings for Skyler, has him aim a crossbow at an apple atop her head, all the while playing Russian Roulette with him as he holds his revolver (with only a single bullet inside it) up to his head. Milton refuses on the grounds that if Russell kills him he'd lose his crystal meth cook

The 1961 Al Brodax Popeye cartoon "William Won't Tell" has Popeye as William Tell forced to shoot a very tiny apple off Olive Oyl's head for refusing to remove his hat before the king. Popeye uses a trick arrow to spear the tiny apple but it boomerangs around and removes his hat to reveal what he did not intend — a kiss on his forehead, bestowed upon him by the Queen for helping her in a time of need.
One of the original Fleischer shorts has Popeye meeting the William Tell, who is forced by the evil duke to do his signature thing with an apple on top of Popeye's head. Popeye actually gets shot right in the chest, but the arrow was blocked by his can of spinach.
One episode had Poopdeck Pappy looking after Swee'pea and deciding to teach the baby about William Tell by trying to shoot an apple off Swee'pea's head with a shotgun.

Episode 11 of Revolutionary Girl Utena features the Greek Chorus playing out William Tell, albeit with the "son" pointing out that it's the 37,919th time in a row the apple has been shot, with the "father" saying that they'll keep going until somebody stops them. There's some point about being trapped in a destined eternal horror.

In The Drew Carey Show Mr. Wick decides to get an extra laugh out of firing Johnson. He hands him a crossbow and says that he's fired unless Johnson can shoot an apple off of his head. When Johnson pulls the trigger, a flag that says "You're Fired" drops down from the arrow. When Johnson shifts the crossbow in his hand to be able to read the flag better he hits the trigger again firing the arrow and hitting Mr. Wick in the um... goodybag.

Lucky Luke: The Title Sequence has two instances of this:
Calamity Jane shoots the hats of all four Daltons off their heads as they leave a saloon running in fear with one single bullet, and all four hats perfectly align on the saloon's stairs as a result.
The Daltons pile up apples on Rantanplan's head and shoot at them like in Dalton City. Fortunately, they're good enough shots to get all the apples without killing the dog (who's so dumb he didn't flee in the first place).

Averted by Merida in Pocket Princesses when Snow White just happens to have an apple on her head, although it takes lots of "Willpower". (Considering that Snow White in this comic freaks out at the sight of an apple, it was probably a joke by another of the girls.) Later gets a call-back showing that Merida controls herself much better, although she refuses to ruin a perfectly good apple, aiming at Anna's pigtails instead.

"Wine Red" by The Hush Sound (most famous for a remix making its way onto DanceDanceRevolution) is about a woman accidentally killing her lover when she misses the apple.

The story of William Tell is retold in Sherman and Peabody's segment on Rocky and Bullwinkle. In this version, Tell is nearsighted and has broken his glasses, leaving his son fearing for his life as the date approaches. After failed attempts to replace the glasses, Mr. Peabody solves the problem by replacing the apple with another one with a powerful magnet inside, which Tell is able to hit easily.

Actually subverted in the live-action series Crossbow, which is a fictionalized version of Tell's legend. How so? Tell (Will Lyman) faints after passing the test, thus in a Kick the Dog moment Gessler (Jeremy Clyde) makes him and everyone else believe that his son Walter (David Barry Gray, who is here renamed Matthew) is dead, via having the kid taken away and slandering Tell to Hell and back. It'll takes a while to see that it's not true.

Invoked in the Team Fortress 2 achievement "William Tell Overkill", though to achieve that you shoot an arrow through an enemy's head.
Team Fortress 2 has the Fruit Shoot item for the Sniper, and apple that has 3 styles, "Dangerous", with an worm, "Tasty", bitten, and "Deadly", with an arrow, equipping the item with the Huntsman, a bow, triggers the Dual-Purpose Fruit set, which "Reduces the chance of hunger by up to 13%".
One of the Halloween spin-off comics had the Funny Background Event of the Sniper aiming at an apple atop the Demoman's head. The next time they're in the shot, there's an apple with an arrow in it stuck to the wall.

The William Tell scene is parodied in Asterix in Switzerland, where Asterix meets the local Swiss people who are having an archery contest. A little boy eating an apple is ordered to hang the target on a tree and while he is busy doing this, he balances his apple on his head. While Asterix is aiming and waiting until the boy is ready, Obelix sneezes which causes Asterix's arrow to be fired involuntarily. The scene is subverted by the arrow hitting the bull's eye of the intended target, when it looked like it might have hit the apple. The Swiss liked the spectacle, but still feel that "something is missing", causing one of them to mutter: "Yes, but what?"

He's applauded by everyone for his good shot, until the camera pans out and it turns out his son is completely maimed with arrows. The shot the audience saw was the only good one.

Il Était Une Fois...: In the "Age of Vikings" episode, Viking Pierre and Viking Teigneux are having an argument and agree to settle it with a series of contests. One of the contests involves each of the two men shooting a ball off his son's head with a bow and arrow. Pierre succeeds, but Teigneux gets (understandably) hesitant; even when he fires his arrow within a foot from his son, he ends up shooting through Maestro's beard hair (though, thankfully, not his body).

Suikoden:
Suikoden II has the hero participate in a traveling circus's show by having various pieces of fruit placed on his head while knife-thrower Eilie impales them with expert precision. You can throw off her aim and get hit with a knife yourself by choosing to wimp out and move to either side before she throws.
One of the plays in Suikoden III, which includes William Tell... and can screw up if you pick incompatible actors as William Tell and his son. Will net a boo, but who cares, it's funnier that way!

In Heinrich Kramer's 1486 Malleus Maleficarum (Book 2, chapter 16), a similar story to the William Tell legend occurs: Punker, Puncker, or Puncher of Rohrbach in the Upper Rhineland is said to have been ordered by "a very eminent person" in about 1430 to prove his extraordinary marksmanship (regarded by Kramer as a sign of consorting with the devil) by shooting a penny off the cap on his young son's head without disturbing the cap. He, too, kept a second arrow in reserve to kill the prince in case he failed.

In League of Legends, Lamb and Wolf (also known as Kindred) do this routine in their shared joke emote. Bear in mind, the two are the dual personifications of death itself, and Lamb chooses for the act to wield her bow using her legs. Even Wolf seems to think it's a bad idea.

In Kenny & Company, Doug's dad Big Doug, a secret service agent, has Doug balance wine glasses on the backs of Kenny's hands, then draws his gun and says he's going to shoot them off. He doesn't actually fire, but Kenny is so terrified that he jerks his hands down, smashing the glasses. The Dougs find it hilarious, Kenny less so.

Once Upon a Time: Peter pulls out an apple. Henry says he doesn't like apples—"It's a family thing." Peter tells him that the apple's not for eating...it's for target practice. Henry then asks why Peter put poison on the arrow if he's shooting an apple, and Peter replies "motivation not to miss." The Lost Boys apparently regularly do this for fun.

Lone Wolf — The Kingdom of Terror: Lone Wolf witnesses such a scene in the city of Varetta, although one that doesn't involve bow or crossbow. In a huge tavern filled with soldiers, some men punished for cowardice are standing in line with a fruit on their head, while a rider on horse from the same regiment tries to skewer it with a lance! Naturally, the watching mercenaries are taking bets on whether the cavalier succeeds or fails.

On Gor the Wagon Peoples had a similar thing as a contest of skill - a slavegirl would stand in profile holding a piece of fruit in her teeth and a warrior would lance it while galloping by on the local equivalent of a horse. They'd do it while she was facing him head-on.
And if she really loved him she would swallow. To explain: a girl accidentally stabbed in the back of the mouth was shown to have been swallowing the blood released by the (non-fatal) injury rather than let her owner lose face by forfeiting the contest.

In Kingdom of Loathing, one of the possible minigames (all of which have the exact same function of distributing 99.9% of the bet money to one of the two players completely at random) in the Money Making Game has the player that accepts the bet trying to do this to the player that placed it. If he hits the apple, he wins. If he misses the apple, the other player wins. And if he misses the apple, he always hits the other player. This doesn't actually harm the other player in any way.

Suske en Wiske: In "Lambiorix" Tante Sidonia has to aim her longbow (and not a crossbow, as you might think) at the apples on Suske and Wiske's heads. Trying to hit two apples with one arrow is a bit more complex than what William Tell had to accomplish, but she manages to pull it off by aiming at a pillar left from them, which causes the arrow to ricochet to the right splitting both apples in the process.

One of the most famous moments of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was when he had famed actor Ed Ames (who played the Indian "Mingo" on Daniel Boone) demonstrate his tomahawk-throwing skills. Ames was to throw an axe and try to hit the head of a cowboy silhouette set up on stage - unfortunately he hit the drawn cowboy's crotch, with the handle pointing up, eliciting the longest laugh in television history.
The big laugh really comes with Johnny's line: "I didn't know you were Jewish!" (Followed, when the laughs begin to die down, by "Welcome to Frontier Bris!")
