* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': One halfling-themed issue of ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' featured an inversion- a magic helmet that doubled as a self-heating bowl for cooking soup or other types of food. This was from back in the days when halflings were still more explicitly just renamed [[Literature/TheHobbit hobbits]] in personality.

* A somewhat more serious use of the trope features in ''Literature/TheSharingKnife'' series. As a prank, a Lakewalker tells one of the local {{Muggles}} that Lakewalker "[[FunctionalMagic groundsense]]" can be blocked by metal (such as by wearing a pot on one's head). [[spoiler:This is totally untrue; wearing a metal pot on your head doesn't affect groundsense one little bit]]. Although the results of this prank are played for a good bit of comedic effect, the underlying issue of the lack of trust between "Farmers" and Lakewalkers (and the fact that this lack of trust is not totally without basis) is treated as a fundamentally serious problem.

** Donnel always wears a metal pot as a helmet, even after he promotes from a villager to a proper soldier. His Supports with Kellam in particular reveal [[spoiler:it's to hide his incredible MessyHair]].

** Crazy Dave, the player's assitant between levels, is iconic for being, well... crazy, but also for wearing a saucepan on his head for a helmet.

While most examples usually wear the bucket properly (as properly as you can wear it at least) by having it above their eyes. Some examples instead wear the full bucket over their entire heads turning them into TheFaceless. With only an eye hole/slit or two to see out of, although for RuleOfFunny sometimes there ''is'' no eyeholes to see out of.
