Line 50:
** A [[Lethal Joke Item|bomb on a stick is a viable weapon outside of suicidal charges]], leaving the demoman using it still alive.
** The scout can send someone flying across the map with the swing of a bat. Bear in mind he has normal human strength. [[Muscles Are Meaningless|Mostly]].
* [[Leisure Suit Larry]] combines this with [[Medium Awareness]] in the second game. For one task, Larry needs to get a 32-gallon Bladder Buster soda, which comes in a cup almost as big as he is. After filling the giant cup [[Overly Long Gag|(which takes two full minutes of playing time)]] Larry wonders how he's going to carry it around, but then he remembers he's in a video game [[Bag of Holding| and stuffs it in his pocket.]]

* ''[[Project 0]]'': One of the powers afforded by [https://web.archive.org/web/20160314094232/http://www.centralcitytower.com/search/label/
* ''[[The Cartoon Chronicles of Conroy Cat]]'' breaks up cartoon physics into two factors: [http://dtoons.com/conroy/2010/09/shonen-lump/ the Funny Bone], where toons can withstand things like [[Amusing Injuries]], and the [[Fourth Wall]], as seen [http://dtoons.com/conroy/2010/09/the-4th-wall/ here].
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' has a lot of this, seeing as it takes place at a school for young Toons to learn how to do what Toons do best.
* ''[[The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat]]''.
* In ''[[Family Guy]]'', the laws of physics seem ''slightly'' more realistic than most cartoons. For instance, Peter's attempt to emulate Scrooge McDuck and leap into a pool full of money reduces him to a bloody mess with a bone protruding from his leg. His attempt to compose poetry while skydiving causes him to impale himself on a replica of the Eiffel Tower. And his crazy attempts to invent things - which tend to have sharp blades more often than not - only result in more bloody injuries. Still, he always ''survives'' these horrible injuries, so maybe physics for him is ''slightly'' adherent to this Trope.
** Regarding the Scrooge McDuck reference, Scrooge actually addresses this in ''[[DuckTales (2017)|DuckTales]]'', telling Dewey most people ''would'' be hurt trying to dive into money the way he does, claiming it's a skill he spent years perfecting. He doesn't elaborate, but given the [[Charles Atlas Superpower| physical feats he can do that others cannot]], it's not much of a stretch.
