* ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'': Wonder Woman could count on her magic lasso securely wrapping itself to whatever is handy when she needs to use it to scale a building. For example, she did this in "My Teenage Idol Is Missing" to scale a 20+ story building. Justified in that the comic books establish that she has mental control of the magic lasso. However, this is neither confirmed nor denied in the series.

[[AWizardDidIt The Force aside]], Luke was completely untrained for it.

Added DiffLines:
* Played for laughs in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Leela fires a grappling hook onto a roof, where it simply lands, not embedded or knotted around anything. However, since it's the future, the hook is also a ''robot'', so it then walks like a spider over to a pipe, latches on securely, then gives the rope a couple of tugs to signal it's safe to climb.
