Groin Attack/Web Comics

Played for Comedy
"Lucy: Well, at least I got to kick one last guy in the balls!"
 * Abused mercilessly in Buttlord GT - one memorable example being a Kamehame Hadoken Groin Attack at point blank range.
 * Sluggy Freelance has milked a lot of humor from Gwynn's violent tendencies, including how often she nails Riff in the groin. Interestingly enough, the strip on August 21st, 2007 shows that Zoe's just as affected by a crotch kick as the two male leads.
 * Also, this: http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060122
 * Then there's Bun-Bun's Groin Attack on Gofotron: He stole the Sixth Ranger's piece of the Combining Mecha, the crotch. Hilarity Ensues.
 * In 8-Bit Theater Black Mage, soon after becoming a Blue Mage (which allows him to learn attacks he survives getting hit with) is hit by a "Goblin Punch", which is actually just a kick in the nuts from a non-goblin monster (the attack was named by "the greatest cryptozoologist in all Red Wizard history, Blindy O'Sightless"). He learns this attack and returns it with enough force to launch the enemy into low orbit.
 * In Monsterful, the mummy Lily Osiris has shown her pervert ghost friend Lawrence that not even ghosts are safe from this.
 * Webcomic The Sins demonstrates that this doesn't work on Anthropomorphic Personifications in this strip: http://www.sincomics.com/index.php?443
 * In Ghastlys Ghastly Comic, Chibi Sue knows how to get results here.
 * In the Furry comic P.S.I., wrestler Lucy demonstrates her signature attack.
 * In relation to that, Badly Drawn Kitties shows us where Lucy learned it, and then applies it! However, after being fired, Lucy makes her former boss really regret it!

"Bash: You're the one who brought it up!"
 * Australian webcomic Bigger than Cheeses even has (or had; it hasn't made an appearance in quite some time) its own sound effect for nut shots -- "Bojangles," or sometimes the long form "Right in the bojangles!"
 * Goats has several characters' genetic materials extracted by the urethra weasels, which are just as painful as they sound; made worse by the graphic description of their function given while they work.
 * Order of the Stick: "I'm sure Durkon can fix that, too."
 * Combined with Unsound Effect in # 586. * nuts!*
 * And again, here.
 * Haley's father was apparently rendered sterile by a poison dart to the nuts.
 * Tales of the Questor: WHAM! Right in the cahooties!
 * In a storyline of Nip & Tuck, Thelma Opossum was about to be photographed in a bikini when the photographer tells her . She immediately starts kicking lecherous guy's butt, which gets the attention of a lady wrestler.
 * Remember that section in Film about Elly Mae and that "Hickory Nut Crunch" finishing move from the Beverly Hillbillies movie? Thelma applies it forthwith. Ta-ta to those testicles.
 * Just imagining that is Nightmare Fuel for 'this' troper.
 * In Questionable Content Faye accidentally headbutts Marten's groin and then vomits all over him while she's blind drunk.
 * In an earlier comic, the Vespavenger's Vespa, which could morph into a not-so-giant-mecha, manages to also hit Marten in the crotch, with a metal pole. This leads to the statement from Marten as he's on the ground in pain, "Pain level...Shatnerian... in...intensity"
 * And in Doc Rat, even a punching bag feels the pain!!!
 * ... but later on, it becomes a VERY EFFECTIVE Chekhov's Gun when taking out a nasty villain!
 * Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki: Used on the Auroch
 * Tailsteak's Band puts one behind a warning label - and in the next strip, hangs one as a Chekhov's Gun...
 * Happens a few times in Dominic Deegan. "There's no need for -- " UnSoundEffect The dwarfs seem to think otherwise. Earlier than that, Luna nails Sigfried right in the "knighthood." Ouch.
 * That first one achieve a huge meme among the snarkdom.
 * Well, Sigfried DID comment badly about her dental problem. Dude, Not Funny.
 * Also, here. I bet THAT woke him up fairly quickly...
 * In Exterminatus Now the best way to disable a power crazed demon worshipper is apparently with a boot to the sack.
 * A female groin attack occurs in Polk Out.
 * "And it'll go and it'll find her and it'll bite her in the cunt."
 * This Something Positive strip from 2002.
 * The Green Avenger has a character named Lady Groincrush. Guess what her usual attack is.
 * This is the only thing the bulletproof Speedo can protect cops against in Cyanide and Happiness.
 * In one Penny Arcade strip, Gabe ends up downloading a patch for Tribes 2 that ends with an OK button and the message "Click OK to be kicked in the beanbag". After debating between his love for the game and his genitals, he presses the button and his computer sprouts a leg and kicks him, elicting the memorable response "Right in the Mean Bean Machine!"

"Grif: What is your problem with my balls!?!
 * Asperchu receives one of these in his titular webcomic.
 * Casey and Andy. Casey picks on a short alien with a single eye on a stalk. The alien retaliates. Casey spends the rest of the day watching Independence Day. On the other hand, when Quantum Cop catches the aliens and they give him the Groin Attack, he's wearing a cup. And he writes them a citation, since he happens to know their legal system too.
 * Pokémon-X had this as one of the most popular comics. Lampshading Zelda's "Item Get" sequence in the process probably helped.
 * For Lucy from Bittersweet Candy Bowl this practically counts as a signature move. One particularly good (bad?) example here.
 * Utilized mercilessly in chapter 10 of Red vs. Blue: Revelation by . For extra laughs, all six seven groin blows in the episode were focused on Grif alone.

(later, after the final groin attack from ... )

Grif: Why don't you just... kill me?"

"Riku: SCREW YOU AND SCREW YOUR AMNESIA!"
 * Seven? I counted eight, possibly nine.
 * Knocked out early in Ansem Retort, where Sora kicked Riku in the nuts to see if he could still feel it after being cut in half...and then did it again cause he forgot about it.

"Bea: Look at me! If you ever pull that shit again, I'll pull out your vas deferens and use them for bowstrings!! Got it?!"

 * Page 192 of Las Lindas. Miles learns the hard way not to ogle Sarah.
 * In User Friendly, there is a "Forced-Feedback Enemy-Denial Smackdown Ergonomic Gaming Chair", which features a boxing glove on a stick aimed at the face for when your character is gibbed, and a metal, spike-knuckled gauntlet on a hydraulic ram positioned directly over the crotch for when your character is killed by Quad Damage.

Bea, the girl's giraffe Parental Substitute, threatens him of this as she hoists him up by the collar, and giving a Death Glare at the same time in French:


 * In Autobot Burnout's Funnies (A photocomic on Transformers World 2005), a recent (as of February 3rd, 2011) arc has Battle Ravage defeat the Fallen this way, using his (Ravage's) girlfriend Tigris' Buster Sword. As a result, The Fallen ends up with a censor bar over his gearbox.
