9 | * A very popular phenomenon among fan-created characters for existing series. Yes, that double-ended scythe or windmill-blade-katana-thing your OC has for a Bankai/Soul Resonance/Innocence/whatever may look cool in that one picture... but it would be an absolute pig to wield in an actual fight. |
10 | * In the final battle between [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd gamers]] and [[Website/ChannelAwesome reviewers]], WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick weaponizes the BigLippedAlligatorMoment. |
11 | * Agents in the Fanfic/AntiClicheAndMarySueEliminationSociety use a lot of different weapons: Claire uses pinecones, Marcus sometimes uses an umbrella, Tyler uses a three foot long Lego axle, Tom uses a ''shrubbery'', and Stephen once beat a Sue into submission using a payphone. |
12 | * Good old WebAnimation/ChristianBrutalSniper is fond of this. He's used a chocolate bar to kill someone before. |
13 | * ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'': |
14 | ** Shakila the [[TheSmartGuy smart gal]], in 3rd RP, has used everything from a [[http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9179210 nail gun]] to a ''[[http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9187928 laptop]]'' ''[[http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9187984 computer]]'' to a [[http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9197005 screwdriver]] as a weapon. |
15 | ** Drake from ''New Divide'' uses a [[http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=8316&view=findpost&p=9197904 flute]] as his weapon of choice. |
16 | * ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': A living shovel is Kerry's weapon of choice. |
17 | * In [[http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2766952/1/Elemental Elemental]] Wind Elemental Selah uses the sharpened edge of her shield as a weapon. Another character fitting this trope is Corah, who wields a farmer's scythe. |
18 | * Hitler's pencil in WebVideo/HitlerRants. Nicknamed the "Pencil of Doom and Mass Destruction", it has the powers to completely blow up a planet. The funny thing is that the powers are activated by ''banging'' it to his table. |
19 | * ''WebVideo/TheHorriblySlowMurdererWithTheExtremelyInefficientWeapon'' kills its target by beating him to death with a common table spoon. |
20 | * Although he doesn't have a specific favored weapon, Terrence of ''WebVideo/KateModern'' usually favours fairly improbable weapons, ranging from an ordinary stick to a freezer van. Occasionally these are {{improvised weapon}}s, but more often than not they aren't, and you get the impression he's just [[EvilFeelsGood enjoying himself]]. |
21 | * ''WebAnimation/LongGoneGulch'': Snag fights exclusively with his comb [[ICallItVera Ronette]]. |
22 | * ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat'' has Tricky, [[NightmareFuel a super-evil-zombie Clown]], who wields a... stopsign that was used by the protagonist to ''nail him to a giant marshmallow''. |
23 | * In one case of cosplaying as ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, Webvideo/DPiddy delivered a OneHitKO to another Deadpool cosplayer...with a rubber chicken. |
24 | * ''WebVideo/ScottTheWoz'': |
25 | ** One of the cops in "A Very Madden 08 Christmas" is armed with a pair of stapling pliers, instead of a gun like the one his partner uses. |
26 | ** [[ItMakesSenseInContext During their fight against the Green Bay Packers]] in "Borderline Forever", Jeb is the only person who uses a conventional weapon ([[ICallItVera a gun he named Gex]]); Terry uses a [[EdibleBludgeon carrot]], Target Employee uses a spatula and [[TrademarkFavoriteFood ribs]], Jerry uses his clipboard, Rex uses a frickin' ''chastity belt'', and Scott uses [[ChekhovsGag the bottle of Pepto Bismol that's been sitting on his desk since the first video]] (due to the gravity and atmosphere in the rocket, the liquid's been frozen into a blade-like shape). [[spoiler: Scott does it again in the climax when he uses his massive collection of Wii games to defeat the Blue Border.]] |
27 | * The soldiers in ''[[WebVideo/ShockTroopers2011 Shock Troopers]]'' make use of a defibrillator to shock enemies, blast them dozens of feet into the air, or set them on fire. |
28 | * In the fifth episode of the Stickman Can't Fight series, Black uses a hula hoop. |
29 | * ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'': |
30 | ** Due to the sick sense of humour of [[BigBad Danya]], bobble-head dolls and plastic hammers have been known to come into play as assigned weapons. |
31 | ** The most infamous use of this trope is [[EmoTeen Damien Carter-Madisen's]] pot lid, which he used to perform a curb stomp. |
32 | * Comes up regularly in ''Blog/ThingsMrWelchIsNoLongerAllowedToDoInAnRPG''. |
33 | -->207. The following weapons are not legal choices in a duel: Steamroller, Nerve Gas, Landmine, Midget. |
34 | -->425. Chainsaws and butter churns filled with bees do not use the same weapon skill. |
35 | -->1680. The point of the Improvised Weapon Skill is not to see how many different things I can kill people with. |
36 | -->1915. The following are not acceptable specialties for a weapon master: Mustard Gas, Cheese Grater, Sardonicism. |
37 | -->2098. Even if I took it with me with the full intention of using it, a manhole cover counts as an improvised weapon. |
38 | -->2290. Even if the rules allow it, my gladiator's starting weapons cannot be the trident and bagpipes. |
39 | * In ''Webcomic/UnnaturalSelection'', this is encouraged by the RPGMechanicsVerse: Damage is determined solely by the user's offensive stat (making the character's "weapon forms" purely cosmetic combat-wise), but usability as a tool actually depends on the weapon form. As a consequence, most characters will have at least one weapon form that's a tool, musical instrument, etc.; protagonist Alison's first two weapon forms are [[PrehensileHair her hair]] and [[PianoDrop a piano]].[[note]]Usability is based on weapon form, but efficiency ISN'T: The latter depends on the user's offensive stat too, meaning a DPS brute with a screwdriver will drive in screws faster than a weaker character using a power drill with screwdriver attachment. The weapon form merely means that they're both able to do it.[[/note]] |
40 | * ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': |
41 | ** Chaka uses regular playing cards and some forks. Lancer has a pair of paper swords (which he can cover with his PK field, making them incredibly dangerous). Generator has a Hello Kitty compact which is not at all what it seems, ''weaponized hair decs'', and a stuffed cabbit that has taken down grown men in armor. |
42 | * The main weapons of [[Literature/WorldDominationInRetrospect Psycho Gecko]] are a laser potato peeler, rubber chicken grenades, and a rocket saxophone. In the past he has used a bone shard from the stump of his hand to kill someone. |
43 | * In WebAnimation/{{Xombie}} Dirge's favored weapon is a shovel. |
