Hammerspace Hideaway: Difference between revisions

 

When characters use Hammerspace to disappear behind narrow poles, they are [[Behind a Stick]]. If a character turns out to be living inside a Hammerspace Hideaway, then it is probably a [[Clown Car Base]] instead. If we can see inside the Hammerspace Hideaway, then it will likely be [[Bigger on the Inside]]. Compare [[Party in My Pocket]]. See [[Behind the Black]] for similar situations resulting from the [[Rule of Perception]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Kaede's Artefact is a cloak (essentially a flat piece of tattered cloth) that can hide several people inside... it does have a fully furnished house in there after all.

* In ''[[One Piece]]'', Capone Bege has the ability to miniaturize things to fit within his body (the inside of which appears to be like a castle).

 

== Comic Books ==

* [[Scott Pilgrim]] can fit inside Ramona's shoulder purse.

 

== Literature ==

* There is that addition to the good ship Gay Deceiver in the [[Robert Heinlein]] novel [[The Number of the Beast]].

* Chiron's [[Super Wheelchair]] in ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'', where he hides his [[Our Centaurs Are Different|horse legs]].

* Not the most extreme example, but in the first book of [[The Mysterious Benedict Society]] trilogy, Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance are forced to squeeze into a very small crate to hide from Mr. Curtain. The illustration does not at all look comfy.

 

* There was once an episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'' where Turk sneaked JD around in his backpack.

* One common gag in ''[[Shake It Up]]'' involves cute kid Flynn stowing away in his sister CeCe's suitcase, even when it's filled to capacity.

* ''[[Danger 5]]'' reveals Stalin's moustache is one of these. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e7z9X1YfGU Seen here].

 

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* Several types of [[Exalted]] have access to Charms that allow them to store objects Elsewhere. Lunars, however, can actually learn Charms that allow them to create tiny little dens in Elsewhere, safe places they can escape to on a moment's notice.

 

== Video Games ==

* One of Dr. E. Gadd's new inventions in ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion 3]]'': His portable lab! It starts out as a breadbox-sized, dome-shaped object, and with the touch of a button, expands into a cottage-sized lab, complete with his ghost-containment device and computers.

 

* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': One episode had Patrick's head come out of a hat box, which was itself in a television box.

* ''[[Animaniacs]]'': Dot had a special box in which she keeps a gigantic monster. The Warner brothers themselves can pop out of incredibly small places as well.

** Eddy once managed to stuff himself into a bucket.

** Edd managed to fit inside his sock hat.

* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'': [[Bugs Bunny]] is known for stuffing some of his foes into rather tight spaces. For example, in "Bugs and Thugs", Bugs stuffed two fully grown gangsters into a rather small oven...twice!

** Another gag is the folding box. put someone in it, fold it like cardboard, then fold it again... and again...

* The closet doors from ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]''.

* [[Danny Phantom]] uses this plenty. One wonders how [[It Makes Sense in Context|a soup can can hold an unlimited amount of ghosts.]] It's even lampshaded at one point:

* One variation on a very old joke about a scientist, a mathematician, and an engineer ends with the mathematician inside a can of beans.

* Several people smuggled girlfriends/wives out of East Berlin in some impossibly tight spaces like a suitcase (or two) and a car seat (the person was literally inside the hollowed-out car seat).
