Line 12:
Ironically, this is now a [[Dead Horse Trope]] in the West, where it originated; modern Western examples are typically from shows invoking anime, which has added its own touches to the mix, or from homages to [[Looney Tunes|Warner Brothers cartoons]].
For more tropes on the spontaneous generation of matter, see [[
For characters that use hammers for purposes other than comedy, see [[Drop the Hammer]], for when the Trope is enacted for comic effect but the actual reason the girl is supposed to be angry is missing from the context see [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback]].
Line 73:
** Sandman does it with his hands on occasion. Sometimes he even creates spiked mallets.
* The titular character of ''[[Leonard Le Genie]]'' often pulls hammers, anvils and other heavy, blunt objects from his beard to punish his clumsy assistant Basile.
* A modern western example / subversion / [[Shout
* This is [[The Awesome Slapstick|Slapstick's]] primary method of attack.
* In one strip of the Italian Comic ''Lupo Alberto'', one of the two characters starts talking about old comics and their "special effects", until the other one, annoyed, reminds him the last one, A.K.A. said "Mallet that popped out of nowhere used to punish the bad guys".
Line 115:
* A serious example happens in the ''[[Elder Scrolls]]'' games, where the Bound Weapon / Armor spells are basically pulling an [[Infinity+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One Weapon or Armor]] from [[Hammerspace]].
* Lucca from ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'' attacks with a hammer if her target is too close for her guns. The hammer always has the same properties as the gun she's equipped with, too.
** Actually, it ''is'' [[Pistol
*** Not so sure, in her [http://www.rpgplanet.com/chrono/images/ct/oaw-lucca.jpg official artworks], she is depicted as carrying a mallet. Its no surprise at all that she carries one since she is a [[Wrench Wench]] and hence, the mallet is unlikely to be a hammerspace one.
* In ''[[Lego Batman]]'', Harley Quinn can pull a mallet out of nowhere and bludgeon the enemy with it. This is one of the most effective melee attacks in the game.
