3	* In general, any time an inanimate object does something that a sentient tribute would normally do. That's guaranteed to get a lot of people scratching their heads.

7	* Specific moments of inanimate objects doing the improbable:
8	** In Season 23, the [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Dark Prognosticus]] somehow [[WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing wins without killing anyone]], despite being a spellbook.
9	** In Season 83, [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Hastur]] haggles with ''a blade of grass'' during the Feast. ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
10	** In Season 85, VY Canis Majoris pleasures itself, despite being a star.
11	** In Season 182, [[Videogame/TonyHawksUnderground the Hand]] decides to pleasure itself despite being... Well, a ''hand''.
12	** In Season 213, a pile of literal scrap somehow builds a mansion.
13	* In Season 18, WesternAnimation/{{Thomas \|AndFriends}} the [[MemeticMutation Dank]] [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Engine]] gets stung by tracker jackers and dies from their toxins, despite being a ''train.''
14	** Earlier, he picked fruits from a tree, despite having no limbs with which to do so.
15	* In Season 52, [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Sandvich]] is {{Mind Rape}}d and DrivenToSuicide by Phantoms [[WesternAnimation/InsideOut Sadness and Anger]] despite being, well, a ''sandwich''.
16	* Season 53 gives us [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Charizard]] failing to light a fire at some point even though he's a ''Fire''-type, not to mention that his tail's ''always'' on fire.
17	* In Season 60, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Crobat]] somehow disembowels [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] with a machete, despite the former not having any proper hands to hold the weapon and the latter being a skeleton and having ''no organs'' to speak of. Even if Tropers/TroperNo9001, the host of the season, interpreted the event as Crobat using Cross Poison on Sans, it's still baffling in hindsight.
18	* In Season 63, [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Dory]], despite being a fish with short-term memory loss, somehow manages to fatally stab VideoGame/{{Doom}}guy with an icicle during a blizzard ''and'' bash [[WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy the Chameleon's]] head in with a baseball bat.
19	** And in Season 74, she also manages to drill holes into WebVideo/SolarSands and butcher [[Anime/ToumeiShounenTanteiAkira Z-Group Knifeman]]. Makes you wonder where she learned how to use those weapons.
20	* Season 68 gives us [[Franchise/{{Naruto}} Kakashi Hatake]] somehow failing to climb a tree and plummeting to his death, despite the fact that he's a fully-fledged ninja who should have no problems when it comes to tree-climbing.
21	* In Season 76, [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Young Toph Beifong]] cries while holding a photo of her friends and family despite being blind.
22	* In Season 90, [[Literature/HarryPotter Hedwig]] manages to somehow gag [[ComicBook/SuicideSquad El Diablo]] and tie him to a rock before leaving him to die. What's more, the latter [[ForgotAboutHisPowers doesn't think to just burn through the gag and rope with his fire powers.]]
23	* Season 114 sees the infamously [[TheVoiceless silent]] [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] not only do a Chinese cowboy impression, but one that [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards of all people, found stomach ulcer-rupturingly offensive.]]
24	* Season 122 gives us ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} dying from an infection despite his HealingFactor.
25	* In Season 162, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Heracross]] becomes a Pokémon... ''despite already being one''.
26	* Season 174 gives us [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Marlin and Nemo]], who followed their friend Dory's footsteps ([[HumorMode not that the three of them have feet anyway]]) at [[ImprobableWeaponUser improbable weapon usage]] more than once. Such as destroying a guitar (albeit a particularly murderous one) and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro Evil Cynder]] using '''a rocket launcher'''. In the Feast, they managed to bash [[VideoGame/NightInTheWoods Bea's]] head against a rock until she died. Earlier, they also taped knives to their eyes and stabbed [[Manga/MadeInAbyss Mitty]] to death.
27	** There's also the time when the two look into their reflections in a body of water, despite the fact that they are clownfish, which means they ''live'' in water. ''Finding Nemo'' tributes [[SarcasmMode really love to screw our minds here, don't they?]]
28	** There's also that guitar they destroyed. HOW could it even garner ''8'' whopping kills?!
29	* In Season 180, [[Film/{{Rubber}} Robert the Killing Tyre]] manages to kidnap [[Literature/TheHungerGames President Snow]], which begs the question: ''How the hell do you get kidnapped by a friggin' ''tyre''!?!''
30	* In the canon Season 181, a [[VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline Grass Assassin]] finds and holds sniper rifle, despite being a giant mantis and having no hands to hold it.
31	* In Season 182, Creator/GeorgeRRMartin [[TheWorfEffect kills]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage the Demon Tide]] by stabbing it in its "throat", despite the fact that it is composed of hundreds of Shadow Heartless. This one, however, can possibly be {{Hand Wave}}d if one remembers that the Demon Tide has a core, which may be the thing Martin stabbed.
32	* In Season 203, [[Literature/HarryPotter Lily Potter]] manages to destroy [[Literature/TheHungerGames the arena forcefield]]. One has to wonder why exactly the remaining tributes didn't take this opportunity to escape.
33	* During Season 232's Bloodbath, UsefulNotes/StephenHawking, a wheelchair-bound paraplegic, somehow manages to push [[Film/{{Solo}} Dryden Vos]], a ruthless crime lord who's skilled with a blade, off a cliff [[DeathByIrony during a knife fight.]]

36	[[folder: Reboot]]
37	* In the pilot season, Advertising/SegataSanshiro somehow manages to find a ''previous'' season's tribute's corpse. While Tropers/IchigoMontoya speculated that Segata probably found the buried remains of [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} Ares]] from the Original Generation's GrandFinale, it still [[VoodooShark doesn't explain how the remains managed to transcend continuities.]]
38	* In Season 6, [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Zebes]], a ''planet'', somehow manages to disguise itself as other tributes twice: once as the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 the Swarmlord]] via [[Literature/HarryPotter Polyjuice Potion]], and once as [[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers Mepps]] in order to kill [[Franchise/AceAttorney Miles Edgeworth.]]
39	* Season 8 not only had the tributes not taking their chance to escape once the [[Literature/TheHungerGames Arena Forcefield]] burned up in lava, it also had [[MemeticMutation This Ain't It]]![[Franchise/{{Naruto}} Kakashi]] somehow launching [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu]] into it by feeding him extremely delicious [[TrademarkFavoriteFood karinto.]] [[EpilepticTrees Either the Peacekeepers rebuilt it, or Fuyuhiko was launched straight into space, never to be seen again.]]
