The bonk on the head to incapacitate. It always works instantly and has no long term implications.

Thief (The Dark Project) is one of my favorite video games of all time, but the instant KO blackjack weapon causes one of the hardest splits in play style in any genre of games. Using the magic sleeping stick, it’s fairly trivial to take out all the guards and have free run of the map. Not using it essentially requires some form of “ghosting” (beating the level without being seen at all) which is a significantly tougher challenge in many cases.
The prevalence of the trope certainly speaks to some deep inner cromagnon urge in us for problems to be solved with a simple “bonk!”
