Depending on the pitch of the prop (e.g constant speed prop in coarse pitch/min. rpm) you could stall it by going to full power on the ground with the brakes on. It would unstall as the aircraft gathered speed and the prop AoA decreased. In the early days of VP props people used to run off the end of runways through trying to take off in coarse pitch. Oops.
