Line 8 ⟶ 9:
* In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', Jackie Chun tricks the [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Man-Wolf]] into going out of bounds at the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budokai by throwing a bone. Man-Wolf was not amused...[[Crowning Moment of Funny|though the audience was.]]

* Grant is able to stop a pissed [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|T-Rex]] from crushing a stalled jeep (with children inside) with a flare in ''[[Jurassic Park]]''.

Line 49 ⟶ 45:
* In a ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|Simpsons]] Treehouse of Horror'' episode, Kodos manages to get an eager-to-help Bart away from him by asking him to fetch a wrench that he dropped, which he throws as far as he possibly can.
