A gag very common in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, involving the use of ToonPhysics. Somehow, one character always has a fist which can stretch across the entire room. Or the entire country. Or the entire universe. No matter the length, it's a quick gag where a character extends their arm(s) to grab or hit something far away. There are similar gags with extendable legs and the like, but arms are the most common.
Not to be confused with RubberMan. Compare EyePop. ''Usually'' doesn't overlap with CreepilyLongArms, which are a permanent biological feature.
If you're looking for the trope where a character has this as an actual ability, see ExtendableArms.
