* ''BobTheAngryFlower'' loves this, from creating a monster to fix his printer to bringing Jesus through time for girl advice.
* In the world of ''NatureOfNaturesArt'', odd as it might sound, very few of the setting's superpowered martial arts styles are exclusively used for combat. In fact, some aren't supposed to be used in battle ''at all''...which doesn't stop certain characters from doing so.
* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' suggests that [[{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]] does this in [[http://shortpacked.com/comic/book-1-brings-back-the-80s/03-customer-protection-rackets/a-36/ this]] strip.
-->'''Optimus Prime''': If this is about using the mystical energies kept stored in the sacred Autobot Matrix of Leadership to open tough jar lids, I can explain--
* ''AMagicalRoommate'' has this as staple humor. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that the world with magic doesn't have equivalent technology.
** And inverted, surprisingly enough. Technology becomes an obsession of Daria once she arrives in our world, because she views ''magic'' as mundane.
* [[http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/?p=1387 This]] ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'' strip shows an interesting possibility for Zelda's transformative powers...
* ''BobAndGeorge'': The MadScientist's [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000415 inventions are always used for Mundane Utility]].
* Webcomic/KidRadd and his gang met up with a world of [=NPCs=] who are all invulnerable and don't feel pain. They use their power for fun party games like 'Pin the Tail on Anything That Moves', 'Five Player Badminton (They use each other as the ball and rackets)', 'Musical Bear-Traps', and 'Blatant Pyromania (Just setting themselves on fire)'.
* In ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' the Denizens used the ray gun technology they stole in personal weapons, KillSat and a ''popcorn popper'' (and it's a plot point too).
* AlternateUniverse version of Yeagar in ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' has [[http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/gamespyarchive/index.php?date=2007-03-14 other uses for his axe]].
* In ''Webcomic/TwoEvilScientists'', Wily and Eggman use their powerful shapeshifting robots to [[spoiler:disguise themselves as Amy and Roll and babysit for Wily's daughter Cream, while the real Amy and Roll are imprisoned by the two scientists.]] This bites them in the ass later on when the robots betray them partly because of being used mundanely.
* There is a fair amount of this in ''WapsiSquare''. For starters, Shelly was given some clay dolls by her mother [[ChekhovsGun and told that they would be important in the future.]] [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/crackwalnuts/ They crack walnuts really good.]] On top of that, Bud [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/thingslikethat/ has an interesting way of making popcorn,]] and Tina uses her AuraVision to predict people's coffee orders.
* Driders and other spider [[HybridMonster hybrids]] have a handy supply of homegrown silk for tailoring. One of the best tailors in ''DrowTales'' is a drider, and ''{{Spinnerette}}'' decides to try her newfound powers out by knitting a silk scarf.
* Also from ''{{Spinnerette}}'', Sahira uses her newfound powers out in [[http://krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/11/30/11302011/ this strip]] to clean the flat in record time.
* ImpureBlood: [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter003/ib017.html Using magic to -- open the door]].
* ''SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' considers how to make [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2305 optimal use of Superman]] as a large-scale energy source.
* ''Webcomic/WaywardSons'': Occasionally, but the most {{egregious}} example would be Nysus using his ability to manipulate time in a localized area to ferment wine in time for the Holy Day celebration.
* ''Webcomic/FontesRants'': [[http://fontesrants.smackjeeves.com/comics/1297871/colgate-who-needs-that/ Dai Gurren Dental Care]].
* ''MinionsAtWork'' aren't always at work: EvilMinions have their days off too. Which is why things like [[http://www.minionsatwork.com/2011/10/minions-at-work-delayed-this-week.html All-Terrain Hammock With Attached Shade And Controlled Rocking]] appear around {{supervillain lair}}s.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Fuchsia used [[AnimateInanimateObject animation]] by DemonicPossession [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3183 as an express mail system]], though this had a little side effect. Crimney's Hellish Book (also from Fyoosh) [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3462 can light a fire on a rainy day.]]
** And another Fire Succubus works in a bar for her kind. So those fireballs are also [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4365 used to make cocktails]].
* ''Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou'': [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=thcomic74 Stopping time can give you a few minutes to calm down.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'': virtually every team member who has special powers has used them for petty or useless purposes at least once. Decoy Octopus uses his near-infallible disguise powers to play practical jokes and blame Liquid; Revolver Ocelot, having gained an immunity to mind-reading, uses this to mess with Psycho Mantis; and both Mantis and Bernard have used their psychic powers to annoy people or obtain free stuff.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Dave Strider uses his Knight of Time timey-wimey superpowers to a) play the stock market, and b) move from a cold place to a warm place, then go back in time an hour in order to continue a Pesterchum conversation.
* ''Webcomic/{{chainsawsuit}}'' had a long-range skeet launcher used for pizza delivery. There were [[http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/05/02/strip-360/ some]] unfortunate [[http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/05/19/strip/ side effects]], though.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'', those with ElementalPowers are discouraged from doing this, because [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV01CH01P038.html using powers excessively shortens their lifespans]].
** It still doesn't stop some people, though. Examples include: Cinna using her PlayingWithFire ability to prank GravityMaster Muneca, who sometimes respond in kind; MakingASplash Larima loves to show off; and BlowYouAway Enlil prefers to fly when a more ground-bound transportation would've gotten the job done.
** However, there ''is'' a "petty" purpose which is a big deal to Taffe (Larima's sister): [[spoiler:she is deaf, and she uses her MakeMeWannaShout power to amplify sounds so she could hear]].
* In ''Webcomic/TheRedStar'', [[http://www.beyondrealitymedia.com/the-red-star/issue-1/page-8/ sorceresses can light cigarettes -- indeed soldiers considered it lucky.]]
* ''MonsterPulse'': Julie uses her super-fast, almost infinitely regenerating monster - to make a coat.

** A [[{{Shapeshifter}} certain]] [[GeniusDitz individual]] prone to being [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-02-07 "trapped" while mopping]] found a perfectly reasonable solution -- [[spoiler:shifting into her telekinetically strongest form to fly over the wet floor]]. As for how to resolve the "[[ThereIsOnlyOneBed There Are Only Two Beds]]" [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-05-17 problem]]? As one of the fans [[http://community.910cmx.com/index.php?showtopic=8764&view=findpost&p=359820 phrased it]]:
--->...the entire theme of [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-06-11 today's strip]]: getting ready for bed. Susan has changed into her pajamas. Sarah has changed into her pajamas. Grace has changed into a squirrel.
** Nanase was ReinventingTheTelephone with her ProjectedAvatar [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-05-02 spell]].
* ''BobTheAngryFlower'' loves this, from creating a monster to fix his printer to bringing Jesus through time for girl advice.
* In the world of ''NatureOfNaturesArt'', odd as it might sound, very few of the setting's superpowered martial arts styles are exclusively used for combat. In fact, some aren't supposed to be used in battle ''at all''...which doesn't stop certain characters from doing so.
* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' suggests that [[{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]] does this in [[http://shortpacked.com/comic/book-1-brings-back-the-80s/03-customer-protection-rackets/a-36/ this]] strip.
-->'''Optimus Prime''': If this is about using the mystical energies kept stored in the sacred Autobot Matrix of Leadership to open tough jar lids, I can explain--
* ''AMagicalRoommate'' has this as staple humor. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that the world with magic doesn't have equivalent technology.
** And inverted, surprisingly enough. Technology becomes an obsession of Daria once she arrives in our world, because she views ''magic'' as mundane.
* [[http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/?p=1387 This]] ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'' strip shows an interesting possibility for Zelda's transformative powers...
* ''BobAndGeorge'': The MadScientist's [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000415 inventions are always used for Mundane Utility]].
* Webcomic/KidRadd and his gang met up with a world of [=NPCs=] who are all invulnerable and don't feel pain. They use their power for fun party games like 'Pin the Tail on Anything That Moves', 'Five Player Badminton (They use each other as the ball and rackets)', 'Musical Bear-Traps', and 'Blatant Pyromania (Just setting themselves on fire)'.
* In ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' the Denizens used the ray gun technology they stole in personal weapons, KillSat and a ''popcorn popper'' (and it's a plot point too).
* AlternateUniverse version of Yeagar in ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' has [[http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/gamespyarchive/index.php?date=2007-03-14 other uses for his axe]].
* In ''Webcomic/TwoEvilScientists'', Wily and Eggman use their powerful shapeshifting robots to [[spoiler:disguise themselves as Amy and Roll and babysit for Wily's daughter Cream, while the real Amy and Roll are imprisoned by the two scientists.]] This bites them in the ass later on when the robots betray them partly because of being used mundanely.
* There is a fair amount of this in ''WapsiSquare''. For starters, Shelly was given some clay dolls by her mother [[ChekhovsGun and told that they would be important in the future.]] [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/crackwalnuts/ They crack walnuts really good.]] On top of that, Bud [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/thingslikethat/ has an interesting way of making popcorn,]] and Tina uses her AuraVision to predict people's coffee orders.
* Driders and other spider [[HybridMonster hybrids]] have a handy supply of homegrown silk for tailoring. One of the best tailors in ''DrowTales'' is a drider, and ''{{Spinnerette}}'' decides to try her newfound powers out by knitting a silk scarf.
* Also from ''{{Spinnerette}}'', Sahira uses her newfound powers out in [[http://krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/11/30/11302011/ this strip]] to clean the flat in record time.
* ImpureBlood: [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter003/ib017.html Using magic to -- open the door]].
* ''SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' considers how to make [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2305 optimal use of Superman]] as a large-scale energy source.
* ''Webcomic/WaywardSons'': Occasionally, but the most {{egregious}} example would be Nysus using his ability to manipulate time in a localized area to ferment wine in time for the Holy Day celebration.
* ''Webcomic/FontesRants'': [[http://fontesrants.smackjeeves.com/comics/1297871/colgate-who-needs-that/ Dai Gurren Dental Care]].
* ''MinionsAtWork'' aren't always at work: EvilMinions have their days off too. Which is why things like [[http://www.minionsatwork.com/2011/10/minions-at-work-delayed-this-week.html All-Terrain Hammock With Attached Shade And Controlled Rocking]] appear around {{supervillain lair}}s.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Fuchsia used [[AnimateInanimateObject animation]] by DemonicPossession [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3183 as an express mail system]], though this had a little side effect. Crimney's Hellish Book (also from Fyoosh) [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3462 can light a fire on a rainy day.]]
** And another Fire Succubus works in a bar for her kind. So those fireballs are also [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4365 used to make cocktails]].
* ''Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou'': [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=thcomic74 Stopping time can give you a few minutes to calm down.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'': virtually every team member who has special powers has used them for petty or useless purposes at least once. Decoy Octopus uses his near-infallible disguise powers to play practical jokes and blame Liquid; Revolver Ocelot, having gained an immunity to mind-reading, uses this to mess with Psycho Mantis; and both Mantis and Bernard have used their psychic powers to annoy people or obtain free stuff.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Dave Strider uses his Knight of Time timey-wimey superpowers to a) play the stock market, and b) move from a cold place to a warm place, then go back in time an hour in order to continue a Pesterchum conversation.
* ''Webcomic/{{chainsawsuit}}'' had a long-range skeet launcher used for pizza delivery. There were [[http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/05/02/strip-360/ some]] unfortunate [[http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/05/19/strip/ side effects]], though.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'', those with ElementalPowers are discouraged from doing this, because [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV01CH01P038.html using powers excessively shortens their lifespans]].
** It still doesn't stop some people, though. Examples include: Cinna using her PlayingWithFire ability to prank GravityMaster Muneca, who sometimes respond in kind; MakingASplash Larima loves to show off; and BlowYouAway Enlil prefers to fly when a more ground-bound transportation would've gotten the job done.
** However, there ''is'' a "petty" purpose which is a big deal to Taffe (Larima's sister): [[spoiler:she is deaf, and she uses her MakeMeWannaShout power to amplify sounds so she could hear]].
* In ''Webcomic/TheRedStar'', [[http://www.beyondrealitymedia.com/the-red-star/issue-1/page-8/ sorceresses can light cigarettes -- indeed soldiers considered it lucky.]]
* ''MonsterPulse'': Julie uses her super-fast, almost infinitely regenerating monster - to make a coat.
