  • In The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, Cupids' bows aren't ever visible until they pull out them from behind their back.
  • When transformed, the characters in The Cartoon Man are able to produce cartoon objects from thin air. Simon pulls out an actual hammer on multiple occasions.
  • In this Conroy Cat short where Conroy pulls out several items throughout the cartoon that will help him from stop falling.
  • Lampshaded in Critical Role. After the Mighty Nein had their items stolen and needed to grab them back in a hurry, Veth ended up with Yasha's sword, Skingorger. When Yasha asks for it back, Veth claims to have stashed it in her pocket, and highlights the absurdity of a three foot tall halfling carrying a five foot greatsword with zero difficulty.
  • Destroy the Godmodder: Everything, just everything. People pull weapons seemingly out of nowhere, and in DTG2, people began abusing this to utilize more weapons than they should have.
  • In Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, after the eponymous character spends time walking around monologuing, he suddenly spins around and dramatically pulls out from under his lab coat a giant Death Ray that was quite clearly not actually under there before that point due to the way the coat hangs. note  The hammer space is his penis.
  • Played for Laughs in this edition of Ask Dr. Steel.
  • 80's Dan pulls random stuff out of his jacket.
  • Lampshaded in Four Swords Misadventures Episode 7 when Green reacts with confusion when a drunken Red manages to use a hookshot on Dark Link after being inadvertently woken up by him (he earlier passed out), with Blue asking Green "how should [Blue] know [where Red got the Hookshot]?" after Green asked him.
  • A story in the comments of Friendship is Dragons takes this into full Heart Is an Awesome Power territory. The narrator was once in a toon-esque game where one of the things you could put points in was "Hammerspace Capacity". The narrator put all her points into that, and by a few sessions in had a Hammerspace capacity in the neighborhood of half a cubic light-year. Then she revealed why she'd done this. The party was sent to retrieve a mysterious artifact from a heavily guarded dungeon. The narrator simply stuffed the entire dungeon into her hammerspace, then pulled the artifact back out. Moreover, the rules also specified that anything you pulled out of your Hammerspace was yours to wield as you saw fit. Including the Big Bad's dragon minions. Needless to say, the Hammerspace rules were majorly tweaked after that campaign.
  • How to Hero references this phenomenon in their guide to Pocket Dimensions. Even singling out hammers as something than can be pulled out of thin air by heroes operating under cartoon physics.
  • The Legend of Neil (a Legend of Zelda parody) inverts this then lampshades it. For the first few episodes Neil awkwardly carries everything (including bomb, bow, sword, shield, and the raft) until a secret Moblin teaches him how to use hammerspace.
  • Played Straight in Metafictionized Phlebotinum Poisoning, where Arthur explains that the angels get 'P.L.O.T. hole' lockers, which are just regular storage units, but with mini-portals attached. Also explains how he drew his sword out of nowhere. Tagino gets one in chapter seven, too.
  • In the New York Magician series, Michel is able to pull a magical flintlock pistol out of the air by raising his arm like he's hailing a cab.
  • Invoked by Daniel in "On the Couch", who hides large weapons in convenient places in Curly's house.
  • Both Ruby and Tom in Ruby Quest have Inventories in which they can store up to 8 items.
  • SCP Foundation
    • SCP items labeled "ectoentropic" will likely implement this trope in some fashion since it means the object generates matter and/or energy in an anomalous manner.
    • SCP-049 ("Plague Doctor"). SCP-049 can produce a bag containing scalpels, needle, and thread from its body and return it to its body when it's finished with it. The bag cannot be detected in any way while inside SCP-049's body.
  • Violet Capagio, a super hero in Skyway Mechanix, has pulling weapons from hammerspace as her main power.
