Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })It seems that in fiction, whenever a kid goes to gym class, the mean gym teacher or coach will make them play dodgeball, much to the delight of The Bully and the despair of the nerds and unpopular kids. Enough balls to resemble a Bullet Hell game will ensue. Despite not being a particularly dangerous sport in Real Life, in fiction, dodgeball is as close as you can get to a Blood Sport without any actual death (...usually.) Somehow, the inflatable balls weigh as much as a ton of bricks in TV Land. It's not uncommon for students to come out of the gym with injuries from nosebleeds to broken bones, and the perpetrators never seem to get in trouble for it. This trope can often seem like Truth in Television to some kids, which is where the trope comes from in the first place. |

The Simpsons: One episode begins with a new PE teacher who didn't even bother to let the kids play dodgeball, he just spent the entirety of every class throwing dodgeballs at them himself, which he calls "Bombardment" ("Bombardment! Bombardment!"). For Christmas they're doing "Double Bombardment!" The same teacher seems to like throwing things at people in general, because he's shown later throwing rolls at Groundskeeper Willie after Willie got a job in a fancy restaurant (making Willie into a gentleman being the main plot of that episode). | |

In The Powerpuff Girls, the Gang Green Gang pelt a bunch of kindergarteners in a game of dodgeball, taking advantage of the fact that the girls are not allowed to beat them up at school. Ms. Keane manages to find a loophole around this by telling the girls to go outside and "play dodgeball" as well. | |

My Monster Secret takes it to hilariously extreme lengths (as it always does) by putting the homeroom teacher Koumoto Akari against the entire class, thanks mainly to Akane pressing her Berserk Button. Even with the students allowed to use weapons and shields, they're still at a crippling disadvantage. The chapter features various military strategies to try and defeat her, all in vain. It also features an epic climax after Sakurada reveals that he will confess his feelings to Akari if they win the game. It doesn't work. | |

In Paranatural, Coach Oop says that the board has forbidden schools from playing Dodgeball, but they didn't forbid his original sport Hitball. Similar to dodgeball, but with a lot of balls at the same time and the inclusion of the Golden Switch which causes a hit student to switch sides instead of getting eliminated. | |

In both the original film and musical adaptation of Hairspray, Tracey gets knocked out by a dodgeball. In the new movie, it's a throwaway gag, but in the original it's a major plot point: Link asks her out after it, and Penney and Seaweed bond when they rush over to help her. | |

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide has an episode that focuses on this. Naturally Loomer and his lackeys enjoy the game and are more then pumped to bring the pain. Ned hopes that Moze would be their ace in the hole against them but she claims to have given up the sport after supposedly injuring Coconut Head in a previous game to the point he bled and spit out teeth. If that wasn't bad enough, Cookie is recruited by Loomer to play on his team after seeing Cookie have a good throwing arm. In the end it turns out Coconut's injuries were just coincidental (He suffers from chronic nosebleeds and the "teeth" were really Tic Tacs). Once Moze realizes this, she pulls a Big Damn Heroes in the final part of the game when only Ned is left against Loomer and his goons. | |

The Mixels episode "Every Knight Has Its Day" introduces the game "Murpball", which is dodgeball with the twist of Murping the knocked-out student. Mixadel naturally chooses all the strong students for his team, leaving Camillot with the weaker ones. He also has the upper hand with students Mixing to cheat or using his own team members as shields...and still ends up the unfair winner. | |

In the second Percy Jackson and the Olympians book The Sea Of Monsters: At first Percy thinks that gym class is just going to be this but it turns out that the other team is actually made up of giant cannibals, so it actually is a fight to the death. And said cannibals are fighting with giant flaming cannonballs, so it's literally hell. |

A subarc of the Greed Island arc of Hunter × Hunter involves Gon, Killua, Bisk, Hisoka, and some minor characters in a dodgeball game. The players on the other team throw the ball with sufficient force to break bones. The players on the heroes' team, however, are battle-hardened people with lethal superpowers themselves. The captain of the opposing team, Razor, is so powerful that he inflicts The Worf Effect by his mere presence and is the only person shown so far to genuinely put Monster Clown Hisoka on edge. |

In DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story, the training that the heroes receive is steeped in Serious Business and makes it appear as if dodgeball is hell. The actual sport is pretty childish, which is the point of the film. | |

There was a dodgeball game in Survival of the Fittest v4 pre-game. Craig Hoyle naturally had difficulty, Meredith Hemmings managed to injure herself due to wearing goth boots with heels instead of something more practical, and Cisco Vasquez... is Cisco. | |

The episode "Ed in a Half-Shell" of Ed, Edd n Eddy plays with this trope. Eddy has the gang play dodgeball while babysitting Jimmy, and Double D's reaction plays this trope completely straight, to the point where he undergoes a Heroic B.S.O.D. after having gym class flashbacks and collapses into a fetal position. | |

An early episode of Dexter's Laboratory had this with Dexter forced to participate by his gym teacher (he had tried to get out of it with a signed excuse but said teacher ripped it up). Poor Dexter finds himself constantly targeted by bullies every gym class. Eventually it hits Dexter that he is a boy genius and builds a dodgeball mecha to finally get even... only to get beaned on the noggin... by his sister. | |
