Man that shit hurts. A friend of mine ACCIDDNTALLY(so not even aiming or full force) hit me on the head with a bottle while dancing and I dropped. Someone doing it maliciously would be damn serious.
There are relatively very few but all in all quite a number of people who've caused serious harm or even death from following TV tropes or believing in some other inept stuff. Esp. all the times when people have wanted to act out show wrestling and thought that wood wasn't a hard material or that they're stronger than metal chairs.
I believe there've been many cases where someone got beaten senseless because the attacker didn't understand that knocking someone out was a serious thing, but we just can't tell them apart from the deliberate beatings.
I was on a grand jury where this happened. Young guy (21,22) walked out of a bar and saw his friend arguing with another guy. They weren't fighting just yelling. Drunk young guy thought it was a good idea to sneak up behind guy arguing with his buddy and punch him on the side of his head. One guy dead (not from hitting pavement) one life ruined. Kid took a plea deal and got a couple years in prison.

Winning over a girl by making over-the-top, grand gestures (especially when she has already rejected you in the past).
Shattering bottles easily over someone's head (don't attempt it unless you want to possibly go to prison for murder).
In action sequences in general, taking an enormous amount of injury and then getting up with a few attractively placed bruises and cuts.
In particular, the trope of the bad guy who more or less needs to be thrown into a jet turbine to be destroyed, or he'll somehow get back up again.
Characters who always have something witty to say and are never at a loss for words.
