Li'l Jimmy's done it now. His dad is angry, and this is a crime worthy of far more than a Time Out. And Daddy's getting out the belt. This ain't gonna be pretty. Truth in Television. Corporal Punishment has been around since practically the beginning of time. More and more parents are considering it barbaric these days, but it still goes on. Anyone from an old-school Black, Hispanic or Asian family can tell you what's up. Values Dissonance tends not to be called out, (like other forms of punishment/abuse) because of how common an occurrence this trope was in Real Life for anyone born before the last couple of decades, and how common it is in certain cultures and cultures.

  • Li'l Jimmy's done it now. His dad is angry, and this is a crime worthy of far more than a Time Out. And Daddy's getting out the belt. This ain't gonna be pretty. Truth in Television.

Asians are often targets of this as well. While the belt is usually the symbol of male parental pain potential, the cane (or rattan/rotan) and sometimes the meter-long ruler is the symbol of teacher pain potential, and standard equipment in state-funded schools until fairly recently. The humble feather-duster (or a wooden spoon) is used by mothers and it doesn't tickle. Of course, in the comedic version, the father takes his belt off, raises his arm to apply some pain, and his pants immediately fall down for want of a belt to hold them up. Related in spirit to Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!, but different in application. A Sister Trope for Spank the Cutie, but usually used on boys rather then girls, almost never for erotic purposes and is often treated like an explicit child abuse. Can be coupled with (and the result of) Calling the Old Man Out. See also Corporal Punishment, A Taste of the Lash. Examples of Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off include:
