Cow Tools: Difference between revisions

** "Broken. Broken. Hair dryer..." One has to wonder what the others would have done if they'd been working (Cow Weapons?).

* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', maintenance extras regularly walk around pointing vaguely cleaner-like or metal-detector-like gadgets at the floor. In A View From The Gallery two of them even speculate on what they are for.

* ''[[MythBusters]]'' has the real special effects studio M-5 as their base of operations, with all sorts of equipment that comes in handy for testing myths. The shop itself is constantly cluttered with devices, tools and a wall of cubby shelves with interesting labels that are more or less accurate ("Raw Meat" is one in particular that we hope is less). At one point trying to do a scale test, they needed an action figure and after a minute Jamie produced one from one of the cubbies. At other points devices from past and upcoming episodes can be seen in the background. Props from other films the studio has worked on are also around.

* In ''[[The Red Green Show]]'', junk-store owner Dalton Humphrey finds an odd looking device in his garage, and has to resist the male urge to keep it until he figures out what it's for.

** There were a few other ''Far Side'' cartoons involving these. In one, gangsters torturing a hostage bring out what they call "Mr. Thingy," [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|which looks like a fishing rod attached to a bicycle horn with a carrot on the string]]. In another, "Harold finds his purpose," a man digging around the couch finds a ball with springs coming off of it, including one with a duck's head attached. Larson has stated that after the controversy over "Cow Tools," he was afraid people would overanalyze these ones.
