Line 4:
Sometimes used as an end to an apparent [[Brandishment Bluff]].

* Played for drama in ''[[Chronicle]]'' where Andrew points a [[Finger Gun]] at a local gang member and uses his [[Mind Over Matter|telekinesis]] to knock him down.
* Used in the ''[[Hancock]]'' when Hancock uses a candy bar to disable a would-be robber.

* ''[[The Goon Show]]'' - "You fool, you can't shoot me with a banana, it's-" Bang! Bang! "... swine ... it was ... loaded!"
** In another episode, Seagoon is told that Moriarty killed himself by pointing his finger at his head, and saying "bang".

Line 49:
* In ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' [[Ghost Pirate]] Cerevantes normally uses a pistol gun thingy, but his [[Nerf Arm|Joke Weapon]] is a wooden toy sword… which can still use the bullet firing moves.
* The 1993 Amiga game ''Hired Guns'' by DMA Design had a banana as the most powerful explosive weapon in the game as a joke item, similar to ''Worms''.
* In ''[[Maple Story]]'', well, how weird do you want it? Available weapons have included huge flowers, umbrellas, shish-kebab skewers, surfboards, and possibly even actual bananas. If an object is shaped like the weapon it's supposed to emulate (and sometimes even if it isn't) the characters in this game can use it as such. There are also costume skins you can get from the Cash Shop and Events that can make any weapon look like this.

Line 66:
* In an episode of ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters]]'', the heroes have to get past Fangster and Long John, who are guarding a room. Tracy takes out a cute wind-up toy tank and sets it towards the two henchmen. They look at it, and then burst out laughing... Then it fires a [[Freeze Ray]], freezing them sold. Unfortunately, it only freezes them for seven seconds, so the heroes have to run past them quickly
* Literal example in one ''[[Super Friends]]'' episode, where the Hall of Justice was invaded by some nasty members of [[Team Pet| Gleek's]] species who use [[Ray Gun]]s shaped like bananas. The funniest part of the episode comes at the end after the villains were apprehended, when Gleek tries to eat one - with rather ''explosive'' results.
* In a third season episode of ''[[Amphibia (TV series)|Amphibia]]'', Anne manages to take down ''five'' of Mr. X's underlings with a ''toy lightsaber''. Bought in the toy section of a Costco [[Expy]]. {{spoiler|Still, as the climax of the episode shows, Anne might be the equivalent of an actual Jedi...}}
