== Films - Live Action ==
* Played for drama in ''[[Chronicle (Film)|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.
 
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* Subverted (or ''something'') in the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Sourcery|Sourcery]]''. Rincewind is desparate enough to attack [[A God Am I|Living God]] and [[Reality Warper]] Coin with… a half-brick in a sock. Not that it actually works or anything, but Coin is so fascinated by the concept (half-bricks in socks don't ever really occur to you when you have limitless magic at your disposal) that he spares Rincewind.
 
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Get Smart (TV)|Get Smart]]'' - Maxwell Smart had a .22 calibre [[Finger Gun]]. Fires two shots.
** Inverted when KAOS abducts Smart, with his escaping being part of their plan. At one point Smart raises a finger to a KAOS guy who throws up his hands, as if Smart had a finger gun. Smart insists it's just a finger and shows the KAOS guy, who gives up and leaves. Alone in his cell, Smart mutters to himself "Come ''on'', Smart. Use that fantastic ''brain'' of yours!"
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' - "Pssh, what could a screwdriver do?" is a pretty common reaction at first. But did we mention it's ''sonic''?
* One ''[[The Muppet Show|Muppet Show]]'' sketch featured Fozzie as an Old West-style criminal whose entire arsenal consisted of fruits and vegetables.

Line 52:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In the ''[[Time Splitters]]'' series, there is a tendency to give the player a massive abundance of powerful weapons from destructive to plain [[Game Breaker]] and BFG, however in every installment they include the weapon "Brick", which may sound stupid at first, but has a tendency to do a massive amount of damage.
* In the ''[[Worms (Video Game)|Worms]] Armageddon'' game when it was introduced and every version since then has included a series of very very silly weapons, however the sillier it is the more dangerous. When a worm pulls out a banana, expect at least a member of your team to die if not all of your team and maybe some of your enemies... and probably the worm who threw it too.
* ''[[Plants vs. Zombies (Video Game)|Plants vs. Zombies]]'' is based on the premise that you defend your home during a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] with assorted [[Edible Ammunition|vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and other plants]] that can do massive damage to endless hordes of invading zombies.
* The Heavy in ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' has a taunt where he points a [[Finger Gun]] and "fires" it at someone. If you happen to be in its line of fire, ''it's a one-hit kill''.
** [[Improbable Aiming Skills|Not that it's easy!]]
* 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.
Line 65:
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* A ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' [[Machinima]] where the Heavy invents a Sandvich gun [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7q3_NWcH_M proves surprisingly effective].
