* Parodied in ''[[The Venture Bros]]'' when Dr. Venture grabs a candle holder on the wall and flips it over expecting something to happen. Dr. Byron Orpheus informs him that it doesn't do anything...except dump wax on his carpet.

* In the film ''[[Igor]]'', the main characters are being chased, so Brain starts trying to find a switch for a secret passage on the wall. Igor tells him there isn't a secret passage and bangs the opposite wall in frustration, hitting the switch for the secret passage.

* ''[[Ben 10]]'' has Ben doing this with the omnitrix; rather than trying logical patterns or anything like that, he just randomly rotates the dial. It actually doesn't do anything for many episodes, until he gets lucky and triggers the [[Super Mode]] that removes form time limits. Other characters call him on the useless fiddling several times as well. It may be all justified by the fact that he's a kid and no one understands the thing anyway, but whatever.
