== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Urusei Yatsura (Manga)|Urusei Yatsura]]''
** Parodied: Kurama has one of Ataru; she throws a dart at it, only for the image to ''catch the dart in its teeth'' and gleefully ''eat it.''
** Also, one of the Spice Girls has a somewhat cruder version with doodled pictures of Benten, Oyuki, and Lum with Ataru. When she's trying to be dramatic about suggesting they try seducing Ataru to get to Lum, she attempts to look cool by announcing her intent with a thrown dart, but it misses by a huge margin -- somargin—so she has to walk to the wall and manually jabs Ataru with it.
* In ''[[Detective Conan (Manga)|Detective Conan]]'', when Vermouth's hideout is raided, a picture of pre-Apotoxin Haibara is tacked on a dartboard with a giant "X" drawn over her face.
* Used in the absolute most hilarious fashion possible in ''[[Mazinkaiser (Anime)|Mazinkaiser]]''.
* In ''[[Vampire Knight (Manga)|Vampire Knight]]'', Kaname pins a letter opener into a picture of Zero and Yuki (in Zero's neck, to be specific) after Zero bites Yuki.
* ''[[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature):|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' has a variant of this. With a plushie of the object of hatred in place of a picture and fire magic in place of the darts, but the intent is the same.
* In ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'', when Ippo visits the Mashibas' appartment while on a date with Kumi, she admits to be embarrassed because there is a picture of Ippo in the living room. To Ippo's chagrin, the picture was pasted on Mashiba's sandbag.
* A subtle variation appears in the film of ''[[Film/HowlsHowl's Moving Castle (anime)|HowlsHowl's Moving Castle]]''. Howl points out the oath he took before becoming a wizard: it's pinned to a dartboard by several darts ''and'' what looks like a pair of scissors.

* [[Lex Luthor]] has one of [[Superman]]. He has also been known to purchase Superman merchandise to casually destroy.
* In an issue of ''[[The Flash]]'', Wally fails to rescue a woman from a fire because he needs to save 10 people in a plummeting elevator, and didn't have time to check the fire for anyone who might be trapped inside (a policeman tells him there is no-one there). The woman ends up badly scarred and loses both of her legs. Guess what she has on the dartboard in her hospital room?
* In ''[[Twisted ToyfareToyFare TheaterTheatre]]'', Captain America has one of Rob Liefeld's take on the Fighting American, who was such a blatant ripoff of Cap that the issue was taken to court.
* An issue of ''[[Archie Comics|Archie's Joke Book]]'' had a full-page gag in which Archie's mother reprimanded him for throwing darts at a picture of Reggie.

* Starr from ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' has toilet paper decorated with the faces of Jesse, Cassidy, Eisenstein, and other foes that, over the course of the series, have left him a one-legged, castrated, head scarred to look like a penis, shell of his former self.

{{quote| "It widnae be right lads, she'd blunt the darts!"}}
* ''[[FoxTrot (Comic Strip)|FoxTrot]]'' did a variation that mixed this trope with [[Batter Up]] where Andy Fox, when expressing irritation at having to go golfing with Roger Fox while the kids are out, envisioned Roger Fox's face on the golf ball making statements that were apparently audio flashbacks to when he got her to go golfing, with Andy proceeding to hit the ball extraordinarily hard, enough to break the tee, with Roger obliviously remarking "Easy, dear. You want to ''hit'' the ball, not ''kill'' it.", with Andy, whose arms are currently twisted around her body, coldly responds "Says you."

* In ''[[X-Men (Filmfilm)|X-Men: First Class]]'': Erik Lehnsherr, as an adult, is looking at a map containing pictures, he then toys with the concentration-camp coin from his childhood, and then magnetically tosses it right at a picture of Dr. Klaus Schmidt, hitting it cleanly through. {{spoiler|This also serves as foreshadowing, since in the end of the movie Erik kills Sebastian Shaw in the exact same way.}}

* In [[Diane Duane]]'s ''[[X-COM]]'' novel, base commander Jonelle Barrett relieves stress with one of these, featuring her thoroughly incompetent predecessor.

* ''[[Callahan's Crosstime Saloon (Literature)|Callahans Crosstime Saloon]]'': The dartboard used in the Darts Championship of the Universe at the Saloon was one of these.

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[Murphy Brown]]'' had this in her office as a running gag. The picture on the dartboard was different pretty much every episode. At least once, it was a ''[[Mad Magazine]]'' ? I think the Murphy Brown cover, in fact.
* Sam, Sock and Ben have one of Ted in ''[[Reaper (TV)|Reaper]]''.
* ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'': Tim Taylor has one of these with Bob Vila's face on it, at which he shoots nails with a nail gun. Tim being Tim, they all miss.
* ''[[M*A*S*H (TVtelevision)|MashM*A*S*H]]'': Shortly after Radar is rotated home, BJ and Klinger use a dartboard and syringes to play "Vaccinate Radar". BJ is upset because the daughter he's never seen called Radar "daddy", while Klinger is mad because he doesn't feel up to the Company Clerk's job he inherited.
* ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]'': At the end of the episode where Ari is introduced (by taking the medical examiner and his assistant and eventually Kate hostage in the morgue before shooting the ME's assistant in the shoulder, killing some people and putting a bullet in Gibbs' shoulder), Gibbs is seen in his basement messing with his gun. When Gibbs looks up he fires two shots that hit between the eyes of a picture of Ari pinned on a beam on the wall.

** After Boomer reveals her true nature and shoots Commander Adama, posters of her are used as targets on the ''Galactica''{{'}}s firing range.
** After her imprisonment on New Caprica, Kara uses a poster of Leoben.
* ''[[Stargate SG 1 (TV)|Stargate SG -1]]'': Baal has a variation on this. Rather than a picture, he chained Jack O'Neill to it, and used a [[Death Is Cheap|sarcophagus to resurrect him]] every time he got a "bullseye".
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Spike drew a hilariously dorky-looking doodle of Angel to put on his punching bag after he saw the two of them kissing in the seventh season. That is, Angel kissed Buffy, not Spike's punching bag.
* In a second season episode of ''[[The Wire]]'', Frank Sobotka has a Dartboard of Hate on the wall of his office. It's actually Bob Irsay, the owner of the Colts who moved them from Baltimore to Indianapolis.
* ''[[The Brittas Empire]]'': In season 5, episode 8, one of Gordon Brittas's employees is revealed to have a photo of him in her locker for this purpose. Amusingly all the darts are embedded in the [[Groin Attack|crotch area]].

* ''[[Even Stevens]]'' has a variation: After Twitty, as a Pitcher, goes completely ballistic on Louis over nagging him in regards to Baseball one time too many, they get the idea of having the Umpire using a baseball mitt with Louis's photo on it, which Twitty, who still had sore feelings for Louis, was able to land a successful strike on the opponent.
* On ''[[Parks and Recreation (TV)|Parks and Recreation]]'', Leslie plans to get the former heads of her department together for a photo to use on the cover of the parks newsletter. To the disappointment of Leslie, who was expecting to be inspired, they all turns out to be an awful bunch of career bureaucrats who don't give a shit. Ultimately, a picture of Andy and April is put on the cover while the picture of the former heads is used as a dartboard by Ron and Leslie.
* ''[[Criminal Minds (TV)|Criminal Minds]]'': An UnSub <ref>'''Un'''identified '''Sub'''ject. The perp, Bad guy, Villian, [[Complete Monster]], whatever </ref> uses a photo of his stepmother as a dartboard. This normally funny trope becomes squicky when you realize the unsub has piquerism -- apiquerism—a sexual obsession with stabbing, cutting and piercing.
* One ''[[Family Feud (TV)|Family Feud]]'' episode had a survey question asking you to name someone who would likely have a dartboard of George W. Bush. (with answers like Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and Al Gore)

* The Australian sketch comedy show ''[[Full Frontal]]'' did a sketch that parodied an advertisement from the lead up to the 1996 Australian election in which veteran Australian actor Bill Hunter openly abused Liberal Party leader John Howard. The parody, written after Howard won the election, featured Ross Williams doing an uncanny Hunter impersonation and explaining that he was lying and in fact thinks Howard is terrific. The zooming out and panning of the camera reveals, among other things, a dartboard bearing Howard's image and a poster with a Hitler mustache and swastika drawn on it.
