Noodle Implements in original Internet works.
- This
delightful little article for The Onion uses this as part of its Crazy Enough to Work parody. - An old, discontinued serial called "Gothic Survivor" (twelve stereotypical Goths are sent to survive amidst the light and joy of Disneyland for 48 days) featured this. A relationship arises between two of the Goths, Angry Kitty and Doomboy, leading to some implied sex with rather kinky toys. Their idea of foreplay involves "a charred top of a grill and two barbeque forks;" they later run off to play with "a recently acquired pair of hot dog tongs and a pizza cutter." A later entry mentions Doomboy's thoughts of "Angry Kitty in a bikini, with a weedwacker and a stack of moist towelettes."
- Galertruby is a master of this trope. As a zombie who's missing his jaw, most of his blog posts come out as complete gibberish, but the mouse-over hyperlinks work just fine. So when you come across a post titled "Galertruby's Guide to Dating" which is mostly composed of five paragraphs of nonsense, but which includes hyperlinks to a broken wine bottle, a gnome effigy, a flask of Big Mojo, and a set of plate-armored leggings, you know there's gotta be a good idea in there somewhere.
- Not Always Right:
- There's this exchange:Customer: Hi there! Where do you keep your ping-pong balls?
Me: Right over here. [walks her over to them]
Customer: Oh great! Now, where do you sell your Vaseline? - An even more worrying one in a phone call to a grocery store:Caller: Do y'all sell erotic movies?
Me: No.
Caller: Hm. D'you know where I can find some bullets?
Me: Nowhere within a hundred miles of here! [hangs up] - And another one, with a grocery customer who bought condoms, razor blades and a large cucumber, explaining that he had a date and "I don't know what she's into".
- There's this exchange
- Cracked ain't bad with this."I don't sell utility drugs, Holmes. You came by last night asking for eight Mephedrone, four tabs of X, 17 reams of Buzzers, three Round-outs, a can of Raid with a drinking straw, and the venom sack from a North African Running Lizard. And that's what I gave you, because I am the best goddamn drug dealer in the entire country."
- Option 3 here. Actually the first two items are included in the plot.
- Some of the SCP Foundation entries become this, when SCP numbers are listed in incident reports or other articles; occasionally the SCP with that designation will appear completely irrelevant to the context in which it was referenced. The usual reason for this is that a previous SCP entry that was relevant was removed for whatever reason, and the number reused for a new SCP. This entry is an example. The ritual it's about requires three human skulls, tin, potassium nitrate, ice, a coil of copper wire, and plutonium-238. And that's not all of it.
- The list of Things Dr. Bright is Not Allowed to Do includes a note saying SCP-437 is not to be handed out as weaponry to new researchers. The original article linked was a woodcutter's axe that would maim anyone who used it, but that entry was replaced, so now one is left wondering how a group of anomalous trees can be given or used as weapons...
- Seanbaby loves to use these in his articles, but they usually involve someone getting hurt (for making awful games). One particularly interesting article has him being given these 3 suggestions to be happy: report crimes you've witnessed, try new sex positions, and avoid toxic chemicals. He claimed that he cannot possibly accomplish that because a new sex move he had in mind required glow in the dark lube that also kills sharks.
- The Kettle Review contains several examples in a number of its tales, such as pepper fountains, polystyrene chess sets, motorized kitchen sinks and soup sieves.
- Skippy's List has examples:183. My chain of command has neither the time, nor the inclination to hear about what I did with six boxes of Fruit Roll-Ups. ®200. My chain of command is not interested in why I "just happen" to have a kilt, an inflatable sheep, and a box of rubber bands in the back of my car.
- Springhole has a random generator for getting 3-5 random objects, found here. As the site's author reads TV Tropes, the generator's description outright references the trope: "Write a story involving them, use them to create a character inventory, or just use them as noodle implements."
