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.
