History ImprovisedWeapon / WebOriginal

* In ''WebVideo/SMPLive'', Joko and JC the Caster have a fight where they smack each other with fish.

* Happens from time to time in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', especially when students who are assigned useless weapons simply make new ones out of available materials, such as Niniko Kishinawa (v1) and Dan Brent (v3) making spears out of nearby items and, in Niniko's case, a shaft of bamboo. Walter Smith of v2 also used his assigned rock to smash a window and make a knife out of the biggest, sharpest, fragment he could find. To top it off, [[spoiler:Dominica Shapiro]] killed [[spoiler:Nigel Gillespie]] with a frigging ''ocarina'', while [[spoiler:Blake Ross]] killed [[spoiler:Gregory Moyer]] by hitting him in the face with a bible and knocking his head onto a rusty nail. And lets not forget the most recent case where [[spoiler:Shameeca Mitchell]] killed [[spoiler:Boxer Carvahlo]] with a customised [[spoiler:double-ended dildo!!]].
** Less immediately fatal, no less impressive, V4 example, combined with ProductPlacement: [[spoiler:Jimmy Brennan and the can of Moxie]].
* ''WebVideo/LG15TheResistance'' Chapter 3, "Trust Fall" includes a scene in which Jonas and Sarah fight off [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy security guards]] using [[NoFourthWall the camera]] and the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Samsaran Doctrine]].
* ''WebVideo/KateModern'' often features Improvised Weapons, such as Terrence's garden gnome in "Seven Dials: 5pm - 23rd November 2007" or Lauren's [[BatterUp cricket bat]] in "Batwoman". At one point in ''The Last Work'', Charlie uses an ornamental sword that just happens to be on hand.
* Chaka, in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'', has control of Ki, so her aim is unnatural. She disarms a sword-wielding super-powered ninja using a handful of playing cards. And then there's her aim with a sewing needle...
** She's been known to ''shelve books'' by throwing them just right without getting up. This tells us everything about her ki-powered ImprobableAimingSkills that we'll likely ever need to know.
* The Internet based [=RP=] ''[[http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=5145 Insane Café 3: The Curse of the Haunted Hotel]]'' features the characters using a ''lot'' of improvised weaponry.
** [[WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTimeIITheGreatValleyAdventure Strut]] using a crowbar then a shovel to subdue a super powered Human who had tried to pick a fight with the entire hotel.
** [[Fanfic/TwilightValley Rime]] using a machete to protect [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]]
** [[Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers Zachary]] using a fire ax to take down a magically summoned knight.
** [[ChefOfIron Haresh]] using a [[FryingPanOfDoom frying pan]] to knock out an enemy mage.
*** Also him throwing lawn darts, rubble and furniture at the mages from the 2nd floor during a massive battle.
** [[Fanfic/TwilightValley Ms. Swimmer]] throwing furniture and rubble (also from the 2nd floor) at the mages during the same massive battle, killing two mages with a toilet and a radiator, also thrown from the 2nd floor, and fighting off and killing six assassins sent after her. In the bathroom with a baby changing station, a stall door, a metal paper towel dispenser and an end table.
** Franz, Werner and Hans fighting off some summoned creatures using a piece of rebar, a pickax and a fire ax.

* ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'' has a few of these: Ace's harpoon, Ruby's heavy gloves wrapped in barbed wire, and the '''BLUDGEONY CANESHOVEL'''.
* ''Literature/UnlikelyEden'' manages to make an axe one of these - as wielded by a ten year old girl.
* ''WebVideo/AskANinja'' has many examples; Gift cards, [[DeathDealer playing cards]](sorry, ''working cards''), folded flags, a boiling hot burrito, [[NoodleImplements two cowboy hats and a walnut]]... Ninjas have a saying, "if you can't kill it with paper you cannot kill it with steel".

* Psycho Gecko of ''Literature/WorldDominationInRetrospect'' will use anything around him to lethal effect. There are supervillain ghost stories about him using a walnut to bring down a helicopter.
* Shibuya in ''Podcast/RollToBreathe'' regularly uses these as a superhero without any superpowers. This leads to her defeating villains with weapons ranging from a wooden baseball bat to a flamethrower to a stool.

* ''Series/CobraKai:'' Miguel uses a lunch tray and {{chair|man of the brawl}} to deal with a GangOfBullies in the [[DinerBrawl school cafeteria]] in the first season.
** "No Mercy." In the school-wide brawl, one representative of each dojo uses one. Tory (battling Sam) takes off her spiked bracelet and wraps it around her knuckles, slicing Sam's blouse and leaving three lines of gashes on her arm. Meanwhile, Chris uses a [[ThrowTheBookAtThem textbook]] to finish off Mitch.

*** Hans uses [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome a MRI machine to trap Subject 19]].

*** Shakila makes use of [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Trinity Facility's power room, followed by the sprinkler system to destroy Project Zeta]]

** [[Fanfic/TwilightValley Ms. Swimmer]] throwing furniture and rubble (also from the 2nd floor) at the mages during the same massive battle.
*** Also her killing two mages with a toilet and a radiator, also thrown from the 2nd floor.
*** And her CrowningMomentOfAwesome, fighting off and killing six assassins sent after her. In the bathroom with a baby changing station, a stall door, a metal paper towel dispenser and an end table.

* In a borderline ridiculous example, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUEFxSOVd6A first episode of]] ''WebOriginal/CauseOfDeath'' featured the killer using [[spoiler:a granola bar]] during the [[DavidVersusGoliath fight]].

** [[TwilightValley Rime]] using a machete to protect [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Spyro]]

* Shibuya in ''Podcast/RollToBreathe'' regularly uses these as a superhero without any superpowers. During fights she takes advantage of whatever weapon she can find in the area. This leads to her defeating villains with weapons ranging from a wooden baseball bat to a flamethrower to a stool.

* ''AskANinja'' has many examples; Gift cards, [[DeathDealer playing cards]](sorry, ''working cards''), folded flags, a boiling hot burrito, [[NoodleImplements two cowboy hats and a walnut]]... Ninjas have a saying, "if you can't kill it with paper you cannot kill it with steel".

*** Again during said battle, he throws an oil drum at a Chimera. [[spoiler: It is not very effective.]] Then follows it up with a pickax. [[spoiler: It too is not very effective.]]

* ''LG15TheResistance'' Chapter 3, "Trust Fall" includes a scene in which Jonas and Sarah fight off [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy security guards]] using [[NoFourthWall the camera]] and the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Samsaran Doctrine]].
* ''KateModern'' often features Improvised Weapons, such as Terrence's garden gnome in "Seven Dials: 5pm - 23rd November 2007" or Lauren's [[BatterUp cricket bat]] in "Batwoman". At one point in ''The Last Work'', Charlie uses an ornamental sword that just happens to be on hand.

** [[TheLandBeforeTime Strut]] using a crowbar then a shovel to subdue a super powered Human who had tried to pick a fight with the entire hotel.

* ''UnlikelyEden'' manages to make an axe one of these - as wielded by a ten year old girl.

* Flippy from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' has a knack for this when he's not using his [[KnifeNut bowie knife]]. His list of killing methods includes stabbing someone through the heart with a drinking straw, stabbing someone through the head with a rose, and even disemboweling someone with a christmas cookie.

** [[DarwinsSoldiers Zachary]] using a fire ax to take down a magically summoned knight.

* This is ''extremely'' common among the protagonists of ''DarwinsSoldiers''.

* In a borderline ridiculous example, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUEFxSOVd6A first episode of]] ''WebOriginal/CauseOfDeath'' featured the killer using [[spoiler: a granola bar]] during the [[DavidVsGoliath fight]].
