Wiki: Huh, looking at the title, I assumed that the trope was gonna describe how writers rarely ever illustrate the means by how the characters are able to return from their epic trip/a deep canyon while carrying a heavy treasure chest.
Ununnilium: By the way, I thought that the first episode of Peabody's Improbable History actually had an explanation for why it worked this way, but I can't seem to find any information about it. Anyone ever see that one?
Branfish: Where does the term "wayback trip" come from?
Andyroid: The Peabody's Improbable History segments on Rocky And Bullwinkle. Pay attention, Bran, it says so right in the entry. =P
Random Surfer: Point of order - the machine Mr. Peabody used was called the WABAC machine, although it was pronounced like "wayback."
