* ''[[Sidekick Girl]]'', a superhero parody comic toys with the idea by having a mind-switch between the powerful ditz Illuma and her sidekick [http://sidekickgirl.comicgenesis.com/d/20081119.html here]. Once switched she practices and applies Illuma's powers in a much more intelligent way. Developing flight, stun blasts, and other useful applications that Illuma could never figure out herself.
* ''[[Video Game/Fracture|Fracture]]'': As pointed out in this ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' strip: [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/909/19/\ strip]. Andon ''[[Fracture]]'' pointed out: when you start to think about how the terrain deformation might work and other applications for its principles, it becomes even sillier.
** They also came up with another use for the ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' gun.

* ''[[Drive (webcomic)|Drive]]'': [[Averted Trope|Averted]] viciously. If the space being pinched by a ring drive is occupied by a planet, then that planet will suffer massive tremors. The bigger the ship, the more severe the quakes. This ''has'' been taken to the [http://www.drivecomic.com/archive/110519.html logical] [http://www.drivecomic.com/archive/110623.html conclusion].
* ''[[Vexxarr]]'' mocking ''[[Star Trek]]'': "It's like they were so confused by the weird conundrums inherent in their wacky technology that they couldn't see [[Mundane Solution|the solution staring them right in the ''face'']]."
