take away his favorite electronic games.
beat the crap out of him
Hang him by his thumbs in the dungeon.
Smack them or timeouts. Make sure it's a real time out, not this "I'll send them to their room where they can play their Xbox and listen to music." Put a dot on the wall that they have to have their nose on for 2 minutes. If they move away, then the time starts over. My parents did that to me and it was absolute hell. I would actually ask for a spanking instead.
put him in time out for as many mins as his age and tell him the older you get the more I think you will behave so the longer you go to time out for
Spank his butt just to teach him a lesson.
Have you tried talking to him? And is he really unruly, or is he just a normal energetic child who needs an outlet for his energy. Too many parents today expect their kids to just sit quietly with their eyes glued to a screen, and they don't want to be bothered by a kid that (gulp) actually plays.
Lock him out of the house for an hour or so.
