* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Brock, the tough bodyguard character, often uses anything to kill people (often nearly anyone). Once he is pinned under a man with a samurai sword in a hotel room, but then Hank opens the hotel room's end table drawer. Brock remembers what a pastor told him earlier that day... "The only weapon you'll ever need is Literature/TheBible." [[spoiler:He reaches in, taking the hotel bible and bludgeoning his attacker over the head.]]
** One episode has Brock kill a group of The Monarch's guys with a lawnmower.

* WesternAnimation/{{Archer}} and Lana once lost their duffle bag full of ammo in a swamp with a ''very'' pissed-off, wounded gator. All they had was a cooler full of beer, bottled water, and dry ice (to keep the beer extra-cold!). Lana thought they were stuck with no weapons, until Archer pointed out that dry ice combined with undiluted water in a sealed container (like a closed beer bottle) causes a pressure buildup until it explodes and essentially makes a glass-based frag grenade. Archer is actually [[TruthInTelevision correct in his chemistry here]], and after some measuring trials, they are ready for the gator, but they never get to use one on it as they run out of bottles by the time the figure out a combination that will be destructive enough but still safe enough to deal with.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E4WhereNoDuckHasGoneBefore Where No Duck has Gone Before]]", Launchpad appropriates a custard-maker from the Kronks' robot and uses it as a non-lethal weapon against them. (It probably helps that it looks like a gun.)
* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' has the the eponymous cat and mouse making constant use of this trope.
* The show ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' pays obvious homage to Jackie Chan's movies, as the hero can and will use whatever is at his disposal. The first of many examples of this has Jackie defeating three mooks armed with high-tech weaponry, with a pair of wind-shield wipers.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Jayce built (among other things) a pair of large mechanical fists that miners could use, and a smith's hammer with some interesting kinetic absorption properties.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'' features Superman hitting several attacking monsters with a tanker truck (hand-held, not driven), then using his heat vision to ignite the contents into a massive explosion.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' uses this trope a lot, but Mabel is the undisputable ''queen'' among the cast. Leaf blowers, karaoke machines, confetti cannons, fake candles, nerf guns, doors, ''tickling'' and even [[spoiler:''Wax Coolio's head'']] have all been in her arsenal.

* Spoofed in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", in which their improvised weapons (including [[RuleOfFunny a bow with a bowstring made of caterpillars]]) all fail in practice, so William Shatner has to resort to making out with his opponent.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': In "Payback", the eponymous vigilante's signature weapon, a combination LaserBlade and [[EnergyWeapon energy whip]] is actually a laser cutter used by a local artist for making his sculptures.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Jayce built (among other things) a pair of large mechanical fists that miners could use, and a smith's hammer with some interesting kinetic absorption properties. It didn't take much tweaking to turn them into powerful weapons for Vi and himself, and they use them to ''slaughter'' a group of [[LightningBruiser Turbo Chemtanks]].
