* ''Website/{{Cracked}}'''s list of [[http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_116_idiotic-real-world-uses-awesome-fictional-technology/ 20 Idiotic Real-World Uses For Awesome Fictional Technology]], a collection of photomanips depicting such things as [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] using his Iron Man Repulsor ray...to toast bread.
* ''Magazine/{{Dragon}} #30'', page 35. Orlow's inventions are a set of magical items used to liven up your life. Magical items include a Spoon of Eating, Broom of Sweeping, etc.
* According to the [[DigitalPinballTables pinball video game]] ''VideoGame/TimeCruise,'' one of the purposes of inventing a time machine is so you can travel to prehistoric Earth... and play golf.
* The Princess of Darkness uses her powers creatively in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQ_JyETyb4 this]] Tia Maria advert.
* ''Theatre/WesterosAnAmericanMusical'': Promptly resurrecting a dead body saves other people the trouble of moving it.
* Kalo of ''Animation/HappyHeroes'' has VoluntaryShapeshifting that he often uses when battling monsters. In Season 5 episode 22, he morphs his arm into a blade to... cut a [[FruitOfTheLoon watermelon he somehow has]]. This gets him confiscated by Headmaster Tele, who had mentioned literally a second or two before that [[ExactWords he'd confiscate weapons he finds in the school]].
* ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'': In "Super Docs", the first things the docs do after they find superhero costumes is to use their respective abilities to do household things like use the one outfit's magnet shoes to collect and throw away some pieces of paper and use the other costume's laser vision to toast a piece of bread.
* Series of ads for the Swedish beer brand Falcon had a series of guys arguing about something, be it who had the thickest beard or who was the coldest, only for a forth guy to show up and use whatever thing they were arguing about with one of the titular beers. Be it to keep the beers in his beard or to use his frozen arm as a bottle-opener.
-->Now that's thick.\\

* This trope is pretty much behind virtually every [[TomeOfEldritchLore Grimoire]] of the European esoteric tradition, particularly those typically used in folk magic.
