== [[Comics]] ==

* ''[[28 Days Later|Twenty Eight Days Later]]'''s Jim uses a crowbar in one scene near the end, where he bashes a soldier's head in.

* Crowbar is one the many things used to pin Freddy against a wall in ''[[Freddys Dead the Final Nightmare]]''.

* Surprisingly averted in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' which had a bit Decepticon named Crowbar who used... guns and explosives. The same sub-faction also had another member named Hatchet who also used guns.

* One of the intro victims in ''[[Cornered]]'' is beaten to death with what looks like a crowbar.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Probably [[Trope Codifier|the most famous example]] is in ''[[Half-Life (series)|Half-Life]]'': [[Player Character|Gordon Freeman]]'s [[Weapon of Choice|signature weapon]] is a crowbar. This is [[Lampshade Hanging|commented on]] by the G-Man in Episode 2.

{{quote|"Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something?"}}

* ''[[The Punisher (2005 video game)|The Punisher]]''

* ''[[Odium]]''. About as much power as a [[Batter Up]], and weaker than an [[An Axe to Grind|axe]].

* Present in both ''[[Saints Row]]'' games. The best melee weapon in the original, but overshadowed by [[Magical Defibrillator|better]] [[Drop the Hammer|weapons]] [[Katanas Are Just Better|in the]] [[Chainsaw Good|sequel]].

* In ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'', one would probably expect the recurring ultimate [[Bonus Boss]], Tyrant Overlord Baal, to [[Equippable Ally|magichange into a sword]], considering how almost all of his attacks involve summoning [[BFS|really huge ones]] to impale his foes. Instead, he magichanges into an ordinary-looking crowbar. A crowbar so powerful, that it can potentially max out the wielder's stats.

** This might be a [[Shout-Out]]

* The [[They Call Him "Sword"|aptly-named]] Felt member {{color|#00FF00|Crowbar}} from ''[[Homestuck]]'' uses a crowbar which, in addition to being a handy weapon, has the ability to destroy [[Time Master|temporal artifacts]] and [[Anti-Magic|negate their effects.]]

* Duncan in ''[[Niels]]'' favors a crowbar over ranged weapons. A chart made by the author describes him as the second-best fighter in the series, but it's been noted that he usually [[Death of a Thousand Cuts|has to hit someone many, many times before they finally die]].

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* ''[[Darwin's Soldiers|Darwins Soldiers]]'', the second RP. Dr. Rawlson/{{spoiler|Dr. Jeston}} tries to kill Dr. Zanasiu with a crowbar.

* Tom spends a large portion of ''[[Ruby Quest]]'' carrying around a crowbar to smash things with.
