History Main / MrFixit

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': For all his senility and poor judgment when it comes to dealing with Beavis and Butt-head, Tom Anderson is a very focused and skilled handyman. In the 2022 revival, he was even able to fix a malfunctioning anal-probing device on an interdimensional spaceship that was likely more technologically advanced than anything on Earth.

%%* ''VideoGame/StarFox'': Slippy Toad.

* Lampshaded by Becca in ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'' if the protagonist offers to fix her faucet. She calls him “my personal Mr. Fixit.”

* ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'': Wildcat. [[TheDitz Despite not being the sharpest tool in the shed]], [[GeniusDitz he's a crackerjack mechanic]], able to fix anything in record time. When he's introduced in the pilot, Baloo has him demonstrate this ability by breaking the phone and giving it to Wildcat. Seconds later it's as good as new, just in time to receive a call.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Fixit. Not only can he fix anything, but he chose the name "Fixit" for himself.

* In ''VideoGame/NoUmbrellasAllowed'', the owner of 1st Repair Shop can fix up to two of your broken items a day as long as they're "Fairly Damaged" or worse. Depending on the item's other attributes, he can either fix it immediately or take an extra day to do so.

* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'': Anything at all break down for Delta Squad? Damon Baird's on it, with a growl, and a sarcastic comment about how much you guys suck at fixing things. Seriously, this guy basically repairs everything in the game. And then gives you lip about it. If he weren't so funny, (and your allies weren't immune to friendly fire) he'd probably have eaten a shotgun by now. [[note]]Anyone else notice that he looks like a bulked up version of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cid Highwind]]? [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'': Bao-Dur . The player character in both games can become one as well, if his/her "Repair" skill is high enough.

%%* ''VideoGame/StarFox'': Slippy Toad.

* The ''VideoGame/WingCommander'' games have a long series of Mr Fixits, in the form of the various crew chiefs that keep your fighter flying sometimes via the combined magics of {{Duct Tape|For Everything}} and strong language. Nicknames for these folks include "Sparks" and "Pliers".
* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'': Jeff. All you needed is a place to sleep for the night and he can turn your Broken Iron into a Slime Generator, provided that his IQ stat is high enough.
* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'': Helnar. As shown in the event "A Slice of Summer" and the beginning of his 5★ upgrade Fate Episode, he knows how to draw up blueprints and fix up his robot-bird friend with relative ease.
* ''VideoGame/{{Homeworld}}'' is one of the worst offenders regarding this trope. Within minutes of encountering an enemy vessel you've never seen before, you are informed that your own research team is ready to build an identical ship. Even when the ship in question is a millions-year old {{Precursor}} machine that's been lost to time, your trusty Hiigaran scientists can quickly devise countermeasures to them and even reverse-engineer them to produce copies.

* ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'': In the intro, Lance Galahad is adamant at fixing computers, and sees that the way to fix one computer is by using [[MacGyvering bubble gum]] for connection... or at least [[SolidGoldPoop a snotty substitute]]. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Unfortunately, all this is slowly and suddenly]] [[TakeOverTheWorld going to hell...]]
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': The Engineer, although he's better at [[MoreDakka making weapons]] than [[InvertedTrope actually fixing stuff]].
%%* ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': Kazuichi "Super Higschool Level Mechanic" Souda.
* ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'' has the world of video games and ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' merging, turning the Poopsmith into "Mista Fixit", who naturally can fix broken objects.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'': In ''Ages'', Patch lives atop Restoration Wall and has the expertise to repair just about anything someone might bring him--provided they participate in his "trap, er...ceremony". Link is required to bring him a broken nut from Symmetry Village to repair it and restore its symmetry. Later, once Link obtains the Broken Sword at the end of a long FetchQuest, he can bring it to Patch who will transform it into the Noble Sword (or the Master Sword, if the player already has the Noble Sword by means of a Linked Game).
* ''VideoGame/JaggedAlliance'': Both Trevor and Static start with the highest mechanical skill and can pretty much repair anything ingame.

* ''VideoGame/{{Battletech}}'': By the standards of the setting, Yang's ability to restore, rewire and remodel [[HumongousMecha Battlemechs]] in a few days is nothing short of miraculous even before [[spoiler:he gets access to the Argo, which was designed to carry entire colonies' worth of material and allows him near-infinite space for tinkering and storage]]. Depending on game rules and how much you upgrade his mechlab, Yang is able to weld together pieces of disparate 'mech wrecks back into fully operational machines complete with weapon loadouts, and remodel them with a speed and flexibility only beaten by [=OmniMechs=] in the lore. Speaking with him implies Yang could easily get a job in any Inner Sphere house, but he likes working with a small-time merc outfit ''because'' it gives him the freedom to tinker.

* The titular trio in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' tried this scam in "[[Recap/EdEddNEddyS2E19RentAEd Rent-A-Ed]]", where they try to repair appliances, but they-- though, mostly Ed-- end up breaking more things than they can fix, from Jimmy's bedroom (due to Ed chucking Jimmy's oven, with a jammed door, into his bedroom wall, causing his cookies to be so burnt up after the oven door was jammed, they make holes in the floor) to everything in Johnny's house (from the sink to the heat radiator-- where they decided to do a spa scam-- all the way [[FromBadToWorse to the support beam]] [[BringTheAnchorAlong Ed was tied to during the aforementioned scam to keep him from wrecking anything else]]) to the point the whole house collapses.

** It should be noted that the scouter did not display a language, only numbers, and deciphering a numbering system is actually very easy to figure out, relative to a language at least. Deciphering an operating system written in a different numbering system and converting it to display a new language... now ''that'' is impressive. It's not as impressive now that we know more of her backstory -- her family's fortune was built on reverse engineering alien technology that was in the same "community" as the scouter tech. More impressive was her ability to do repairs on the alien vehicle that they reverse engineered ... as a young girl.

* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Presea [[spoiler: and in the anime, her BackupTwin Sierra]] can create and repair ''any'' type of weapon.

** Yusei Fudo grew up in the slums of Satellite, but that didn't stop him from teaching himself mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to the point where he could build his own D-Wheel from the scrap and spare parts tossed away by the people of New Domino... twice. ([[spoiler: Thrice if you've watched the Japanese version]]) He also made a Duel Board (a skateboard with D-wheel capabilities) just by ''hearing about it'' from Rua... ''''in one night''''! Understandable, since [[spoiler: [[InTheBlood his parents were top scientists]]]].

** First is fixing five abandoned Panzers overnight. Five Panzers, all of which were abandoned for 20 years and left in the most ungodly places imaginable. Only one of the Panzers was found in storage -- the rest were scattered over the academy, with the prize going to the [[spoiler: [=StuG=] III left in a pond]] and the [[spoiler: Type 89 I-Go in a crevice, on a cliff, at a minimum of fifty feet from either the top and bottom of the cliff.]]
** Second comes in restoring the [[spoiler: Tiger (P) or Porsche Tiger]], an infamously difficult beast, as well as maintaining it ''while driving it''. To quote, (After the Panzer throws a track, stalls out, and catches fire in the space of a minute) "Aw, here we go again, eh? Hoshino! Hand me the fire extinguisher!"

* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': Fix-It Felix Jr., thanks to his magic golden hammer that can fix anything by just whacking it. In a twist of irony, this actually comes back to bite him [[spoiler: when he's imprisoned in King Candy's castle, because any attempts to break the bars on his cell only end up fixing them so that they're stronger than before]].

* ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'': [[OurGnomesAreWeirder Tinker Gnomes]] of Krynn. Of course it may not work as their non-gnome friends would hope. [[spoiler: The Device of Time Journeying]] in particular could be repaired by any gnome (even one who thinks it's a meat grinder), although it's not mechanical and the parts consist of pieces of gold, a chain, and a couple thousand gemstones.

%%* ''Series/StargateSG1'': Sam Carter is a Ms. Fixit, as well as a HotScientist and TheSquadette.%%How?

* The ''VideoGame/WingCommander'' games have a long series of Mr Fixits, in the form of the various crew chiefs that keep your fighter flying sometimes via the combined magics of DuctTape and strong language. Nicknames for these folks include "Sparks" and "Pliers".

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'':

Unrelated to [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk the Incredible Hulk]], who used the alias "Mr. Fixit" in the late 1980s. And no, this page does not center around the fox in Creator/RichardScarry's Busytown, either (although he is an example of this trope).

* ComicBook/DeathsHead's {{Sidekick}} Spratt is pretty competent with a toolbox, and rebuilt Death's Head after he was nearly destroyed by the Dragon's Claws.

* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'': Lucca single-handedly fixes a robot made with distant future technology the first time she sees it.

%%* ''Series/{{Jericho}}'': Heather. The term "Miss Fixit" is actually used as an insult by some members of the fandom who don't like her. It somewhat backfires when the fans who did like her decided they ''liked'' the nickname.%%Fanon. How is she this in canon?

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleOfAges'': Patch lives atop Restoration Wall and has the expertise to repair just about anything someone might bring him--provided they participate in his "trap, er... ceremony". Link is required to bring him a broken nut from Symmetry Village to repair it and restore its symmetry. Later, once Link obtains the Broken Sword at the end of a long [[FetchQuest Fetch Quest]], he can bring it to Patch who will transform it into the Noble Sword (or the Master Sword, if the player already has the Noble Sword by means of a Linked Game).
