Line 17:
== [[Film]] ==
* In [[Buster Keaton]]'s "[[The Scarecrow]]," two farmhands share a one-room house in which all the furnishings have at least two functions -- there is a record player/stove/oven, refrigerator/bookcase, rolltop desk/sink, bathtub/sofa, and Murphy bed/piano.
* The title characters' home in the movie ''[[Mr. and Mrs. Smith]]'' was filled with camouflaged and hidden equipment caches, including a gun drawer hidden as part of a wall oven.
* K from the second ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' movie has a cache of weapons hidden in his old apartment, which is now someone else's home. They have to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|neuralize this family]] in order to access it.
Line 32:
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
* Sarah Jane's attic in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', triggered by the sentance "Mr. Smith, I need you." which makes her [[Magical Computer]] Mr. Smith awaken and transform the room (or at least the chimney breast).
** Chimneys have breasts?
** Only the female ones.
Line 45:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The Hair Bear Bunch had a lot of cool appliances hidden in their phony cave at the Wonderland Zoo.
* [[The Tick (animation)]] bugs Arthur to reveal where "the hidden switch" is in the pilot episode. Naturally, there isn't one, and Tick nearly destroys the apartment looking for secret [[Superhero]] gear.
* ''[[Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]'' had one at Aunt May's boarding house, in Queens. Somehow, she didn't notice.
* In an episode of ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' the bridge of an old harbor-tour boat transforms into a fully-functional anti-sub warfare center.
* Parodied on ''[[Family Guy]]''; Quagmire's bland living room turns into a fully-equipped bachelor pad with the press of a few buttons. In a later episode, there is a chase scene in his house in which every piece of scenery folds out into a bed when knocked.
** Stewie also has a secret room full of guns ammo and other evil genius type decor.
** Peter has a hidden base underneath the house where he hides his porn. It was part of a cutaway gag though and hasn't been seen since, so it probably isn't canon.
*** Is anything canon in that show?
* The 1970s cartoon ''Drak Pack'' had one of these, a room in an old run-down haunted mansion that turned into a high-tech communications center at the touch of a [[Big Red Button]].
