Duct Tape for Everything/Playing With

Basic Trope: Objects are conspicuously held together with duct tape. ""Three hundred dollars?! For a tape job?! I coulda done that myself practically for free!""
 * Played Straight: Bob seals a leak around a pipe with duct tape.
 * Exaggerated:
 * Most of the items in Bob's house are held together with duct tape.
 * Bob's SPACESHIP is held together with duct tape. And it works.
 * Downplayed: Bob seals a cardboard box with duct tape.
 * Inverted: Bob patches a strip of duct tape with a pipe.
 * Justified: Bob is lazy.
 * Bob doesn't have much handyman's skill and the only tool he really has is duct tape.
 * The situation needs a temporary quick-fix, as there's no time to do an actual repair--or else, the materials for a more permanent fix aren't readily available.
 * Duct tape is very useful, and if it isn't involved with water then duct tape can be a VERY good fix for cracks or broken parts. It may just be better to work over the item with duct tape than to try something else.
 * Subverted:
 * Bob notices the leaky pipe and considers using duct tape... but then sets out to fix it properly.
 * Bob considers using duct tape... but ends up calling the plumber, who comes over right away.
 * Bob tries to use duct tape, but it doesn't hold together.
 * Double Subverted: Tomorrow. Today, he's much too busy, so he takes 5 seconds and wraps a length of duct tape over it.
 * And then uses duct tape to fix the pipe and charges Bob an arm and a leg.
 * Deconstructed: Duct tape is meant to be a temporary solution.
 * Reconstructed: But somehow, it holds together for hours, days, weeks, months, years, and Bob has more time to do things he wants to do.
 * Parodied:
 * The house, Bob's clothes, in fact pretty much everything in town is held together with (or outright made of) duct tape.
 * Duct tape is actually Bob's superpower!
 * Lampshaded: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, just put some duct tape on it!"
 * Averted: Bob calls the plumber, or fixes the leak using something other than duct tape.
 * Enforced: Rule of Funny
 * Invoked: Alice asks Bob to fix the leaky pipe, but Bob just wants to watch the game on TV. So he wraps tape around the pipe and calls it good.
 * Defied: Bob feels that this job is a little too big of a fix for duct tape and either does actual repairs or calls the plumber.
 * Discussed: "Duct tape fixes everything!"
 * Conversed: "The duct tape gag? Writers must like that one."
 * Played For Laughs:
 * It's part of a Doom It Yourself project of some sort.
 * Bob calls the plumber, who fixes the leak with duct tape and charges Bob an arm and a leg for the "repair."


 * Played For Drama: A hostage is duct taped to a chair.
