This trope is about the versatility, ubiquitousness, and downright usefulness of the substance known as "duct tape". A plastic adhesive tape, usually black, grey or silver in color, originally created to seal ammunition boxes in World War II, but whose usefulness is apparent to anybody who's ever had breakage of any kind that has to be temporarily held together. A military-grade version also exists, known as hundred-mile-an-hour tape in the US, which is even stronger and more adhesive than duct tape, and typically comes in some shade of green or brown. Sometimes, the universal usefulness of duct tape is paired with the universal usefulness of WD-40 lubricant, the philosophy being that duct tape is good for stopping things from moving while WD-40 is useful for the exact opposite reason. One should never combine the two. Common usages in fiction include restraining individuals and jury-rigging... well, everything. Rather ironically, Duct Tape actually sucks at sealing ducts. It degrades and loses its stickiness over time, failing "reliably and catastrophically" when used on ducts. Aluminum tape or mastic is used instead. It is also banned by some building codes for use on ducts due to the occasional incidence of bursting into flame under high temperature. The etymology of the word and whether it originated as "duck" tape is unclear, though the best bet is that it was first made out of a type of waterproof canvas called "duck". There is a brand of duct tape called Duck Tape, but it's relatively new, and so named to deliberately capitalize on the joke. Not to be confused with Scotch Tape, although egregious use of duct tape can function as Handwavium. International names include "silver tape" in Latin America, "gum tape" (gamu teepu) in Japan, "roadie tape" and "Jesus tape" (because it performs miracles) in Finland, "American tape" in Spain and Italy, "Panzertape" (armor tape/tank tape) in Germany (military grade, green), and "weave tape" or "silver tape" in Sweden, blue "isolenta" ("insulation tape") in Russia. In Britain, it can be confused with "gaffernote also an informal term for a manager or foreman, make of that what you will tape", a closely-related product that is more widely known in Britain — to the point where a lot of the virtues of duct tape are often spoken of by practically-minded Brits as being the virtues of gaffer tape. Gaffer tape differs from duct tape in the composition of both the backing (gaffer tape is made from fabric as opposed to vinyl or other plastics) and the adhesive (gaffer tape is easier to remove without damaging the surface to which it is adhered). As a result, "gaff" is used a lot in the entertainment industry; using duct tape on a film or theatre set where you should have used gaff will get you yelled at by the crew. Occasionally, super-glue fills this role, but more often it's used in comedic mishaps. Compare and contrast Painful Adhesive Removal. Has been examined, and confirmed, by the MythBusters. All five times. |

In an episode of Megas XLR, the titular mecha's photonic stabilizer is damaged, which could wind up with Megas exploding big time. After spending the whole episode looking for a replacement part, and in the middle of a fight for the replacement part that was pushing Megas to its limits, a cry of "DUCK!" inspires Coop to wrap the damaged stabilizer in duct tape. Seconds later, Megas is able to fight at full power. "When in doubt, duck it." | |

An issue of Cable & Deadpool set during the Civil War (2006) involved Cable, Captain America, and several others incapacitating Deadpool by cocooning him to a chair in a back alley with duct tape. As Cable states, "Duct tape. Lots of it. At least one roll for his mouth alone." What follows is several pages of him musing to himself, alone. And then he has to pee. He really has to pee. | |

"Franklin's Promise" from Franklin has a notable subversion. Throughout most of the story, Mr. Turtle tries to fix a malfunctioning sprinkler, becoming increasingly desperate. He finally tries to solve the problem by just slapping a whole bunch of duct tape over the thing, only for the water to burst through and ruin this latest slap-job fix. He finally admits defeat and joins a picnic with Mrs. Turtle, Franklin and his friends. | |

In Schooled, it's an early reference that one of the main characters' commune home is 30% duct tape, and they buy many, many rolls each time they go to the store. The novel also says that duct tape was used for flypaper, holding up baby diapers, house repairs, and broken bones. And in one of the final scenes, after Cap is sent back to the commune, the only thing left in his room is a page from his report on what he thought the most useful invention in the world was, duct tape. |

One Dilbert comic has Dilbert, Alice, and Wally tie an annoying co-worker to his chair with duct tape. Alice comments on how useful the stuff is, and Wally responds "Sometimes I use it instead of underwear." Wally's usage might be Truth in Television... unless this one is photoshopped, of course. In one early strip Dilbert was bumped from a flight. When he demanded satisfaction, the airline put him in the special "duct tape section". Meaning they taped him to one of the plane's wings. |

In Freefall, Sam made several repairs to the Savage Chicken with duct tape before Florence joined the crew. In a subversion, she points out that the tape is woefully inadequate. Also, Sam's scarf is at one point replaced by one made of duct tape. Also, when a robot's leg has just been repaired by welding, a character remarks: "You should put some duct tape on it. Repairs never seem complete without duct tape." When Florence discovers just how much duct-tape has gone into the repairs of The Savage Chicken, she comments that she hopes it's not too late... because "Power corrupts, but duct-tape corrupts absolutely." |

Used hilariously in Pineapple Express, where a constantly high drug dealer and his bumbling server witness a murder and find themselves pursued by crooked cops and hitmen. On the run, they go to Red's house (a friend of theirs) and find him beaten up. Fearing his call to his wife is, in fact, a call to the hitmen and cops on their location, they subdue and duct tape him to his deceased grandfather's chair before running through the back door when the hitmen come in. | |

Evil Dead In Evil Dead 2, Ash wraps up his freshly vacated right arm with gauze and duct tapes over it. (That spoiler isn't very secret) In the Evil Dead (2013) remake, David uses duct tape on a chest wound, an amputated arm and a Magical Defibrillator. |

In the parodic fantasy webcomic Nodwick, duct tape is an essential component of healing spells, up to and including the resurrection of the dead. Whether the tape itself has any inherent magical properties is left to the reader's mind, should one choose to venture beyond the Rule of Funny powering the setting. (Although the character write-ups in Dragon make Duct Tape of Healing a powerful magical item.) | |

In Schlock Mercenary, Pronto the demo expert loves using duct-tape. A foot-note also mentions that, out of common jury-rigging materials, "Duct Tape has actually seen the most change during the intervening centuries. For instance, it can now safely be used to fasten and seal duct-work. Just be sure to lose the handy-dandy spool with the built-in tape cutter before it trims the tape just above your first knuckle." | |

In the first ObsCure game, you can attach flashlights to guns using duct tape. Strangely, this is a case where it wouldn't work in real life — it's done in-game by simply wrapping duct tape around the gun and the flashlight, including around the slide in the case of the pocket pistol, which would cause that gun to jam due to the duct tape preventing the normal operation of the slide. Even with other weapons, the recoil would likely cause the flashlight to go flying after a few shots. There's a reason why lights and other attachments are specially mounted, as is the case with the heavy pistol in-game, which comes with a built-in flashlight. | |

The Darwin Awards have a few entries related to people who overestimated duct tape: A physics professor allows his students to tape him to a wall as part of a fund-raising event...and nearly suffocates because duct tape doesn't "breathe." A fishing boat was held together with multiple duct tape repairs, and carrying equipment that weighed more than three times than it could hold, along with two fishermen. |

Duct tape is explicitly anointed as the 'handyman's secret weapon' on The Red Green Show, becoming identified with it to the extent that 3M became an official sponsor and Red (aka Steve Smith) became Scotch's spokesman in Canada. An entire episode of the program was called "No Duct Tape" and focused on the Possum Lodge running out of it and Red freaking out over it. In a brief DVD commentary, Red Green poked at the writing staff (including himself) about the fact that it took them ten seasons to come up with that. One early episode contained a subversion by showing a situation when using duct tape is not a good idea-Red uses Harold to show how you can use duct tape to shave your legs. Also subverted (or played for laughs, depending on how you look at it) in a later episode when Red actually did need to tape two pieces of ductwork together, and spent nearly half a minute on-screen trying to figure out what he could use for this purpose before arriving at the obvious solution of masking tape. |

Fallout One of the "repair item" sound effects in Fallout 3 is the sound of duct tape being ripped off a roll. Several weapons have bits of duct tape wrapped around them. Quoth the recipe for Weapon Repair Kits: "1x Duct Tape, 1x Scrap Electronics, 2x Scrap Metal, 1x Wonderglue, 1x Wrench". The perk "Jury-Rigging" shows Vault Boy duct taping two unrelated weapons (apparently an assault rifle and a shotgun)◊ together. He uses a lot of duct tape. In Fallout 4, "Adhesive" is one of the most common components required for building weapon and armor mods. Duct tape is quite naturally one of the most readily available forms of adhesive available (at least until you're able to start cooking up vegetable starch). |

Doing It Right This Time proves that even Artificial Humans created by Sufficiently Advanced Aliens appreciate the many uses of duct tape, as several important parts of the desperately kludged-together time machine Kaworu creates to avert the Bad Future are held together with it. Shinji does not find this very reassuring, but it does work. | |

Joe from NewsRadio once claimed that the only thing holding the station together was his home-made duct tape. In one episode, a class of kids around 10 years old go visit the station ("Broadcasters of the Future", they're not time travelers though). Every member of the cast is assigned to take care of one kid and show him around the station. Joe uses the day to show the boy assigned to him the many uses of duct tape (including taping the boy to his back for easier transport). In the Titanic episode, Joe claims that the hull is made entirely out of duct tape. |

In The Escapists, duct tape is used to craft almost every useful piece of equipment in the game. Tool upgrades require even more duct tape to craft. In addition to crafting, it can also be used to tie people up and temporarily block the view of cameras. Because it's so useful to potential escapists like yourself, it's considered contraband by the guards and is fairly difficult to get. | |

This extends to laser guns, hand grenades, and a fully-functional car, which not only runs on duct tape, but has windows.

Made a joke of by the Mythbusters, when Jamie proposed attaching microphones to the necks of actual living ducks with ...what else? Ultimately an aversion: they put velcro-strip collars on the ducks instead. Later they made an entire hour long episode about its many uses. Including, lifting a car, patching a leaky boat, making an entire boat, sealing a potato gun, and finally making a fully functional cannon. They did another Duct Tape hour, where they make a rope bridge out of the stuff, put a torn apart car back together (and it still works), and do the old trick of using duct tape to stick a car to a pole - the engine gives out before the tape did in both experiments. However, duct tape can't stop a 60 MPH car... well it could, if you used enough of it, but it would take a lot of tape and the work of several days to do it. Note that it takes them several tries to get this result, because the duct tape wall keeps holding tight but the anchoring points on the concrete weights keep ripping off. It's only once the anchors finally hold on that the wall gives way. Adam also states that if they chose too, they could do an entire season with nothing but duct tape. The build team outdo themselves again by first fixing a grizzly bear mauled plane with Duct Tape to the point it can fly. Then making a functioning plane out of duct tape! They've done a third hour-long episode, this time with duct tape as the only tool Adam and Jamie are allowed to use to escape from a Deserted Island. They make a number of interesting objects, including sandals, a waterskin, a spear and net for hunting, a chess set, hammocks, and a duct tape version of Adam's trademark fedora. Oh, and an outrigger boat to escape from the island. Towards the end of the episode, Jamie basically sums the trope up with this: Then they did another duct tape survival hour, this time the situation being a broken-down car in the middle of the desert, and they have to traverse the Grand Canyon.note Actually, a canyon in Utah, with the final segment taking place on a river in California's Central Valley. This time, they also have a great deal of bubble wrap to help them out. |

Doom³ is an indirect example. Most fans didn't like the "flashlight simulator"*in that you can only have a torch or a gun out at a time, and the game is very dark aspect of the game, so much so that the first mod created for it attaches a flashlight to most weapons. Its name? "Duct tape". The author says the mod is justified and not a cheat, because it's wholly illogical that one shouldn't be able to find a roll of duct tape or a similar adhesive in a space station of the future. | |

The Hearthians in Outer Wilds have an extremely "whatever works" approach to making spacefaring equipment. Your ship has several parts held together (as in, bound to each other) with what looks suspiciously like duct tape, and the telltale sound of peeling and ripping fresh strips of it can be heard if you ever need to patch your suit. | |

Have Space Suit – Will Travel. The protagonist Kip, who has a secondhand but well-designed spacesuit, and Peewee who has cheap tourist spacesuit, have to escape across the Moon's surface from the villains who kidnapped them. The problem is that Peewee only has one full bottle on her spacesuit, so Kip has to keep filling hers with the air from his own suit, and his oxygen bottles are the screw-in type while Peewee's have bayonet sockets. He's able to jury rig a connection using hose and surgical tape (the book was written in 1958, before duct tape was well known). | |

The fifth issue of Empowered has two separate Duct Tape moments. First, there's the time when she lets Ocelotina interview her, only to be caught off guard and bound up with duck tape. Ocelotina finishes her big discussion on how great Duct Tape is as a bondage medium with the comment "Can you imagine using a pair of handcuffs or a ball gag to do, like, plumbing repair or whatever?". The whole thing was just a complex preparation to Emp being spanked for underestimating duct tape. This also helped her to use it as a Chekhov's Gun. Then later after Willie Pete blasted the space station, MindFuck's spacesuit had a big chunk torn out of it, and Emp successfully patched the big hole with Duct Tape note Well, most of the space station was assembled with duct tape. | |

John Cena met Batista in a Last Man Standing match in the main event of WWE Extreme Rules 2010. Normally, you win this kind of match by knocking your opponent out for a 10-count; instead, Cena beat Batista by using duct tape to tape Batista's ankles behind a ring post, thus making sure he could not stand to answer the ref's count. Not even Batista could break duct tape, and thus he suffered a REALLY embarrassing defeat. He could have pulled the tape off if he hadn't been busy raging while the ref counted... Alberto Del Rio beat The Big Show the same way only taping him to the bottom rope. |

Burn Notice loves this trope. In the pilot episode, Michael comments that it's "better to fight your wars with duct tape" because "duct tape makes you smart." Since then, we've seen a duct tape pulled out a few times. When Agent Bly destroys Michael's favorite chair, we later see him fixing it up with a roll of duct tape. Then, in the season 2 finale, in the middle of a car chase, Michael pulls a roll of duct tape out of his glove compartment. The character from the first episode on the receiving end of Michael's duct tape strategy returns in season 3 as a client. Throughout the episode, he suggests that Michael can resolve the situation by doing something cool with duct tape. Sure enough, midway through Michael ends up using duct tape (among other things) to turn a microwave into a bomb. |
