Smoke Out: Difference between revisions

* Nightcrawler leaves a cloud of purple smoke along with his [[Signature Sound Effect|signature "BAMF"]] whenever he teleports.

* The dark wizard Necross the Mad does a combination of Smoke In and choking on his own smoke in ''[[Cerebus the Aardvark]]''.

* [[Batman: Year One]] has a particularly notable Smoke In, leading to this classic moment:

* Done straight in the latest ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie, but also subverted when Raphael does a standard ninja Smoke Out, but instead of mysteriously vanishing he's seen running away. Also [[Lampshaded]] in the film when Karai and a henchman disappear.

** There is also a scene where Raphael smokes out... only to leave Casey Jones coughing and waving smoke away... then Raphael leans out from behind a nearby structure and chastizes Casey for just standing there like an idiot.

* ''[[Batman]]'' movies.

** The Michael Keaton Batman does it after Jack/Joker falls into the vat. He combines it with the batline to make it look like he's flying away.

* The Spike TV show ''[[Deadliest Warrior]]'' gives a highly possible real-world origin for the [[Smoke Out]] in the form of "black eggs", literal whole eggshells painted black and filled with either sand, pepper (either ground or as a mace-like extract oil), and/or glass that is thrown into the enemy's face; the theory was, the egg would shatter upon impact (or, if the contents were dry ingredients, crushed pre-throw) and splash all over the enemy's eyes, blinding them for several seconds and giving the illusion that the escaping ninja vanished in a puff of smoke.

* Subverted in ''[[Castle]]''; investigating the death of a magician, Beckett and Castle approach a street magician with a motive. The street magician, obviously not keen to answer questions, does the standard Smoke Out disappearance -- and Beckett (who, as it turns out, knows a little something about magic) merely rolls her eyes, opens up the box he's standing on (and which he slipped into after dropping the smoke bomb) and yanks him out.

* On ''[[The Cape (TV series)|The Cape]]'', Max and anyone else trained by him can do this at a level verging on supernatural. Subverted in Episode 3 when Vince fights Gregor and gets grabbed by the cape in the middle of his smoke-out.

* Played mostly straight in ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', but parodied in one episode where the eponymous doctor is so used to doing this that he reflexively uses it to escape from an awkward social encounter.

* Used in [http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/archives/3/8/386.html this strip] of ''[[Angel Moxie]]''.

Although, I think you might've done too good a job... }}

* ''[[Bug (webcomic)|Bug]]'' shows us that this is [http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/breaking-up/ one way to end a relationship.]

* Used in ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' When Robin used it to get his team away from Now-Evil Terra. Beast Boy lingers for a bit before he runs off into the smoke.

* Parodied in ''[[American Dad]]''. Roger did this twice but he kept falling over unconscious. Klaus tried this in "The One That Got Away", and he ''ended up in another dimension'' for 60 years ([[Year Inside, Hour Outside|a few seconds in his world's time]]).

* In ''[[Wakfu]]'' episode 8, a [[McNinja|ninja]]-[[Martial Arts and Crafts|baker]] uses a cloud of flour to disappear.

* In ''[[Perfect Hair Forever]]'' episode 2, Uncle Grandfather ''attempts'' one. He's still there once the cloud dissipates, though.
