Example: From the classic Doctor Who serial "Revenge of the Cybermen". The Doctor and a space station crew have been taken captive by the Cybermen, bombs strapped to them that will destroy Voga, the Planet of Gold (which is deadly to Cybermen) once they reach the center of it.

Unaware of the bombs, Harry tries to remove the Doctor's, leading to this scene that is also a Crowning Moment of Funny...
Category: Dope Slap
Example: Every single episode of NCIS, usually several times per episode. Used by main character Gibbs so often that in-show it is referred to as the "Gibbs Slap".
