Line 10 ⟶ 8:
Keep in mind that this trope isn't just relegated to arms: extendable legs, necks, and... well, ''other'' body parts can invoke this trope, arms are merely the limb that instantly comes to mind. Not to be confused with [[Rubber Man]], but there's definitely overlap since stretchy arms come with the territory.

Line 28 ⟶ 25:
* ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' demonstrates this several times, often when Tom tries to reach for Jerry inside one of the walls.
** Often used in conjunction with strategically [[Amusing Injuries|placed mousetraps]].
* Used by ''[[Wacky Races|]]'': Used by Dick Dastardly]] whenever Muttley starts laughing at him, outside the range of a typical human being.
* Pinkie Pie from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has these, but she uses them to pull her friends in for a group hug.
* On ''[[Family Guy]]'', Lois's father once punched Peter through an ''email''.
* Though it doesn't involve combat, one of the the mid-1980s ''[[Scooby-Doo (animation)|Scooby-Doo]]'' series (there are at least eight) had Daphne restrain a fleeing Shaggy by extending her arms from off screen.
* ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarepantsSquarePants]]'' uses this trope often. One episode even had Squidward's limbs used in this manner to keep SpongebobSpongeBob's rotting house from collapsing. (against his will of course)
* Spinel from the ''[[Steven Universe]]'' franchise has these, being a rubberhoserubber hose-like character.
* The robots in ''[[Rolie Polie Olie]]'' can stretch their metallic limbs at will.
