* In the children's magazine ''Cricket'', Sluggo the snail is often seen carrying around a baseball bat, despite his lack of appendages to hold it with. George the earthworm isn't usually seen carrying items with him, but he often leaves things propped up outside his hole with no explanation for how (or if) he managed to move them there.

Many animated characters, especially {{Funny Animal}}s, are missing certain anthropomorphic features- perhaps the art style is stylized to the point where [[PowerpuffGirls hands lack]][[PowerpuffGirlHands fingers]], some characters simply [[HomestarRunner don't have arms]], or [[VeggieTales nobody is of a species that has appendages]].

* ''Fallout3'' and ''FalloutNewVegas'' lets you pick up objects in front of you without putting them in your inventory. The effect is the same like in ''HalfLife2'', except since you can change the camera to a third person view, you can see the object is literally floating in front of your character while your arms can be holding something else or nothing at all.

* Many Monsters in Monsters Inc. A lot of the stock monsters are shown without hands, feet, or are just toothy heads walking around on little nub limbs. So how do these monsters operate the machinery, let alone drive cars? In fact, how can Wazowski drive a car himself so effectively when he dousn't have double vision?

** Goombella, introduced in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'', especially stands out, as (to get information on the opponent you're facing in a battle) she frequently takes out a green book and turns the pages, despite her lack of visible arms. And despite the fact that a lot of tropes are [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the game, neither she nor anyone else comments on this.

* How the hell is Handy the Beaver in ''HappyTreeFriends'' able to build so many things with handheld tools when he only has amputated stumps for hands? Granted this is only seen off-screen, but when he [[TheCentipedeDillemma realizes his obvious predicament]] all his building expertise goes out the window. Ditto for Cro-Marmot whose entire body is encased in ice yet is still capable of performing various tasks.

* This is one of the many, ''many'' running gags in the various ''{{MS Paint Adventures}}'' comics. Characters are often drawn armless unless they're actually using them, and almost always when they're first introduced. Their first instruction is with a few exceptions always "Retrieve arms from <x>".
