In real life, concussions have a number of unpleasant symptoms. These include, but are not limited to headache, nausea, and dizziness. They also involve minor brain damage in addition to those. Fortunately for our protagonist, this is fiction. Here, if one gets a Tap on the Head or a particularly violent Dope Slap, one need only worry about sporting a dopey grin and falling over, or, at worst, experiencing a Non Sequitur, *Thud*. In fact, the effects of slapstick concussion look alarmingly like the effects of euphoric drugs. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })(Don't worry about after-effects, either - any Circling Birdies can be dismissed with a quick shake of the head, and a Cranial Eruption can often be pushed straight back in. And multiple head injuries will never make the problem worse, ever.) Naturally, depending on the work, this falls under either Artistic License, Acceptable Breaks from Reality, or, if the writers are truly dense, Critical Research Failure. Surprisingly though, there can be a grain of Truth in Television in it - someone acting mildly drunk after taking a blow to the head is a good indicator of concussion, and they should probably see a doctor. An Injury Bookend can bring this state to an end. Related to Hard Head, Tap on the Head, Non Sequitur, *Thud*, and How Many Fingers?. |

In The Smurfs episode "Pappy's Puppy Prescription", Gargamel gets a bit loopy after he collides with a tree that he couldn't see when he was using a pair of special goggles that can only see blue in order to find Smurfs. | |

In the Chip 'n Dale short "Working For Peanuts", Donald Duck chases the two chipmunks until slamming his head into a wall after they escape through a hole. He then sits there with swirly eyes and a toothy grin on his face; later on in the short the elephant he was taking care of finds him still like this. A similar one happens in the short "Dragon Around" where Donald Duck is building a road and the chipmunks' tree is in the way, so he has to get rid of it. When his crane (which the chipmunks think is a dragon) gets damaged so that the shovel's teeth are removed so it can no longer dig, he resorts to try ramming the tree with it, only for the chipmunks to loosen all the screws/bolts/nuts, so as Donald is charging towards the tree, his crane falls a part leaving only him charging towards the tree, then hitting his head on it, leaving him dazed. Dale then imitates Donald after finding it funny. |

On Days of Our Lives Nick Fallon was concussed while disposing of a bomb. This induced a euphoric state, during which he flew to Las Vegas and married a hooker named China Lee. | |

More literal than most examples: in MAD #116 (January 1968) the Don Martin cartoon "A San Francisco Trip" shows a hippie preparing some banana peel shavings in a frying pan, and trying to smoke the result in a pipe. Nothing happens. He angrily stalks away — immediately slipping on the peel he cast aside earlier. He bashes his head (KLANG), and is left sitting on the floor seeing paisley-styled hallucinations. Also references the then-current legend of bananadine. | |

A review of Magic Carpet in the now-defunct magazine PC Zone included a picture with a caption that advised readers to simulate the (impressive for the mid-90s) visual effect by "hitting yourself very hard in the temple with a heavy object". (PC Zone was gonzo like that.) This is not the proper venue to discuss whether any impressionable young future tropers actually did. | |

On The Office, jerkass Dwight starts acting uncharacteristically nice after crashing his car. The others eventually realize that he has a concussion and take him to the hospital. During this bout of identity amnesia Dwight also shows absentmindedness and compulsive behavior not unlike fictional portrayals of being high on marijuana. | |

Hunting the Unicorn averts this. Blaine gets a concussion from a moderate fall in a fight before he gets kidnapped by his Stalker with a Crush, rambles about nonsense for half an hour, and runs off in a panic, which extends the police search for him. He degenerates into having headaches that he can't communicate about properly, gets nauseous, and in The Red Bull, he's making no sense to anyone. He tries to reason with his stalker, and instead watches Kurt nearly get choked out. Considering this took place over the later half of a day and would be stressful for an uninjured person, it's understandable that he starts crying Broken Tears when the paramedics finally load him up. | |

Sore ga Ai, Deshou?: Averted; after Mai whacks him over the head during their first informal meeting, Andy is left dazed and is warned not to fall asleep or he might die. The "don't fall asleep part" is a common misunderstanding with concussion victims—sleeping is perfectly fine if you're tired and in a safe place. The problem is if you don't wake up (someone needs to wake the victim up about once or twice to make sure they aren't in a coma) or if you aren't acting normal/coherent upon waking, at which the person needs to go to the hospital for potential brain damage. |
