Line 9: {{examples}} == Comic Books == * In the comic book version of ''[[The Tick (comic)\|The Tick]]'', Paul the Samurai bakes a baguette around his sword to sneak it past customs. When fighting ninja later on, he doesn't bother removing the outer bread coating (though he does eventually eat it). * ''[[The Boys]]'' is not a series where you would expect this trope to be deployed, but during The Frenchman's reminisces, we get Le Saintes Des Haw-Haw, where Frenchmen settle their differences by jousting on Bicycles, using baguettes as lances. Frenchie claims that his father was killed by his childhood enemy thrusting a rock-hard stale croissant into the front wheel of the bicycle, which (if true) would count as de-nerfing this trope. Then again, he is just plain crazy (as well as [[Ax Crazy]])... Line 37 ⟶ 36: * ''[[Dead Ringers (TV series)\|Dead Ringers]]'': "Your bakery products are weak, old man!" * In ''[[Heroes (TV series)\|Heroes]]'', Hiro tries to defend himself against his katana-wielding father with a baguette. It works about as well as you'd expect. * In one episode of ''[[Kaamelott]]'', King Arthur tries cutting a loaf of bread but can't even dent it with his knife. He is then informed that the peasants are revolting, and hadn't brought fresh bread to the castle for weeks. Arthur leaves table to have a serious discussion with the ~~rebels -- and~~rebels—and, after reflection, pick up the stale bread as a bludgeon. * ''[[Leverage]]'': {{quote\| '''Nate:''' Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?~~<br />~~ '''Eliot:''' I dunno, maybe. }} * ''[[The Nanny]]'': "Put the bagel down and step away from the breadbox!" Line 54 ⟶ 53: * The classic Lucas Arts point and click adventure game ''[[Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders]]'' features a stale baguette that could be used to kill a two-headed squirrel. You receive the baguette by annoying a baker into throwing it at you. The bread ''breaks'' the sidewalk. * Kass Basher (formerly titled "Whack-A-Kass"), a ''[[Neopets]]'' minigame, uses a baguette as one of the "baseball bats". * [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game\|MMORPG]] ''[[~~Runescape~~RuneScape]]'' has a (very irritating) random event called the Sandwich Lady. Every so often (i.e. usually at least once a day) she appears out of nowhere and offers you one of a selection of treats (only one of which was actually useful for healing past level 10). Pick the wrong one, and she knocks you out (guess what with) and you wake up somewhere else. Fortunately, this event has been ~~modified -- she~~modified—she no longer pops up right in the middle of you doing something. ''Un''fortunately, however, she still knocks you out with a baguette if you choose wrong. * In ''Kingdom o' Magic'', in order to depose the High Steward of Minar Tragedy you have to get a sword baked into a baguette so you can get it past the guards. * Loaves of bread are available as weapons in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''. With proper fusion, they can be quite powerful, granting the wielder a wide range of techniques.
