Noodle Implements: Difference between revisions

* Another ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5288868/1/Uprooted Uprooted]'', has Tsunade recite the [[Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon|following]] to the Third Hokage: "You don't get a say in this, old man. Tar. Feathers. Gelding knife. Superglue, walnut groats and two hundred rabid squirrels. Do not tempt me."

* ''[[Yet again, with a little extra help]]'' has the Pirate Space alien Giraffe bondage incident (also a [[Noodle Incident]]).

* The ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fanfic ''One More, From the Top'', had Soun mention (towards Genma) the Tendo Family Torture, which involves "bubble gum and fluorescent light bulbs". Once Genma leaves the room, Kasumi mentions that she's never heard of the Tendo Family Torture. Soun reveals that he just made it up, that he had no idea how to torture someone with bubble gum and fluorescent light bulbs, and that Genma "always did have a... creative mind."

* ''[[Potter Puppet Pals]]'' short "Wizard Angst": "You will be dragged by your ears to the basement, where a drunken Filch will be waiting with a cactus and a croquet mallet..."

** Another Ray Stevens song "Shriner's Convention" featured some spoken lines where Bubba the Illustrious Potentate is scolding a Shriner named Coy over the phone. Several Noodle Incidents and implements are mentioned:

{{quote|''Oh! Hello! Coy? Where have you been? No, you wasn't at the meeting! Well, I found out that at three o'clock this mornin' you was out there in your Fruit of the Loom's in the motel swimmin' pool with a bunch of them waitresses from the cocktail lounge! I just hope Charlene don't find out about this, Coy! What? Well, how'd you get that big motorcycle up there on the high dive, Coy?''}}

** In [http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2010/ga100525.gif this] new Garfield strip, we have a rather hilarious example. What on earth happened to Jon that would require these...random objects?

*** A belt to hold up the remains of his pants, a Fire extinguisher to put them out, and... I don't know about the fishbowl.

* In ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'', [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0389.html Elan's original plan] to get to Azure City involved a corkscrew, some skis, a box of soap, a basketball, a traffic cone, dressing Thog in a leprechaun costume, and stuffing a giant wooden alpaca with potato salad. It should be noted, however, that, [[Prestige Class]] notwithstanding (and he didn't even have one at time), Elan is not precisely the sharpest spoon in the drawer, so his plan wasn't necessarily something a normal person would expect to work. And yes, [[Spoony Bard|"spoon" is the intended word]]. This was, of course, lampshaded in the episode's title: "As Good an Explanation as is Forthcoming"

** [[Truth in Television]]: An adventurer can do ''anything'' with a portable hole, an immovable rod and a bag of holding! No idea where the ice spell comes in.

** Three words: House Rules Parcheezi.

* Sam Starfall of ''[[Freefall]]'' had a [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1600/fc01515.htm great rescue plan].

** [[Word of God]] has stated that the reason Sam Starfall was exiled from his planet was an incident that involved a dirigible, a loop-de-loop and lots of pudding.

* One of the many deaths Kaguya and Mokou of ''[[Touhou]]'' fame inflicted upon each other in [http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=thcomic17 this] installment of ''[[Touhou Nekokayou]]'' apparently involved "a toilet plunger, the Buddha's stone bowl, a kendama, a Christmas tree, and three stuffed rabbits" and it "took weeks to find all the patches from (Mokou's) overalls again." (The creator "just wanted to make a comic involving death-by-noodle-implements.")

* A running gag in ''[[Cheer]]'' involves a character coming up with a plan that requires "two geese, a roll of duct tape, twenty-three toothpicks, and some sodium benzoate." It was initially coined by Tamara, though Jo and 32 have also used it.

* ''[[Starslip Crisis]]''. "Remember the [[Cryptic Background Reference|Harakkon disaster of '37?]] [[Badass Boast|That was]] ''[[Badass Boast|me.]]'' And ''six trained goldfish.''" ([http://starslip.com/2008/01/16/starslip-number-697/ Link].)

* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'''s Tycho creates something very much like this with ''one implement'' in [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/03/21 Exile from Guyville].

* ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]'' has genius Jyrras demand his friend to open the door or he'll do it himself with [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_663.php some floss and a spork].

* [http://www.threewordphrase.com/sadcomic.htm This] ''Three Word Phrase''. An [[Anti-Humor]] example because the "medical condition" requiring the implements is named, not just Noodle-implied. [[Insane Troll Logic|Makes even less sense]], of course.

* In ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'', [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/character.php?character_ID=1982 Matt O'Morph] gained his superpowers when, "during his college freshman chemistry class, there was a bizarre accident involving an unknown alkaline solution, a dash of monosodium glutamate, a live electrical wire, a pack of Big Red cinnamon gum, and a mosquito."

* Professional wrestler [[John Cena]] used to do a Q&A session on WWE.com called "5 Questions with the Champ." When a fan would ask a question such as "How did you spend your birthday?" or "How do you plan to spend the holidays?" he would say that "to protect the guilty," he wouldn't say exactly, but that it did involve [ Insert Noodle Implements Here], some of which were: packets of Mayonnaise, children's golf clubs, a Samoan, Pay Per View cable, and massive amounts of alcohol.

* [http://needmorerage.blogspot.com/search/label/Galertruby Galertruby] is a master of this trope. As a zombie who's missing his jaw, most of his blog posts come out as complete gibberish, but the mouse-over hyperlinks work just fine. So when you come across a post titled "Galertruby's Guide to Dating" which is mostly composed of five paragraphs of nonsense, but which includes hyperlinks to a broken wine bottle, a gnome effigy, a flask of Big Mojo, and a set of plate-armored leggings, you '''know''' there's gotta be a good idea in there somewhere.

** [[Wwb Video/The Nostalgia Chick|The Nostalgia Chick]] review of Grease features a subplot of BFF Nella being forcibly given a makeover from the Makeover Fairy. Tools the Makeover Fairy uses in her attempts to beautify include an eggbeater, a hammer, a skull, a ''power drill'', an iron (implied use on clothing ''not removed from her body'', a sanding file, pliers...

** In [http://twitter.com/BennettTheSage Bennett the Sage's Twitter account], several are referred to in relation to his upcoming review:

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7plwRplpa4 Episode 9] of Khenpoe's ''[[Bleach]]'' [[Abridged Series]] has Rukia plotting to persuade Ichigo to go to the upcoming Don Kanonji/[[Captain Ersatz|Trashy]] concert event with a pair of tongs, a rabid raccoon, and a third item (Rukia's "favorite part") that is left unnamed because Ichigo stops the flashback right there ("Let's just say I ended up going.").

* ''[[Cracked.com]]'' ain't bad with this. From "[http://www.cracked.com/blog/choose-your-own-drug-fueled-adventure-fk-the-lost-world/ Choose Your Own Drug-Fueled Adventure]":

*** When Brain takes the case to court, the company's lawyer ''does'' know how a microwave works and thus proves that it couldn't have caused the "accident"...only to go "oh" at the mention of the non-dairy powdered creamer.

*** "I think so, Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu."

* ''[[Invader Zim]]'' had a "final test" to determine who his new best friend would be in the episode "Bestest Friend". It involved him walking menacingly towards the contenders with a beaver and a toy taxi, followed by a lot of horrified screaming.
