Some characters are vast stores of useless knowledge. Now, normally, you'd think that useless knowledge would never come in handy, right?
You'd be wrong.
Because, by Law of Conservation of Detail , or maybe because of some usage of the Idiot Ball, there will rise an exact situation where their trivial knowledge will come to the rescue. Sometimes it requires a Plot Tailored to the Party to happen, other times it just happens naturally. In any case, their so-called "useless knowledge" will save the day. Of course, this is pretty much the mantra of the Crazy-Prepared.
This is the subtrope of Chekhov's Gun when the object is something a character knows, though occasionally it is a Deus ex Machina. May lead to This Is No Time for Knitting. Compare This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman, where it's a useless superpower that comes in handy. When it's a seemingly useless item or knick-knack, It May Help You on Your Quest.
Chekhov's Hobby and Chekhov's Classroom lead to this. Compare Figure It Out Yourself, You Will Know What to Do.

The page quote comes from The Malloreon by David and Leigh Eddings. Sure enough, towards the end of The Malloreon something Beldin said turns out to be of vital importance: both the heroes and villains need to find out where to go for the final showdown from the Seers at Kell, when Belgarath remembers Beldin mentioning "the Grolims are still afraid to go near Kell" — the villains can't go themselves. Of course, this is something that Beldin and Belgarath have both known perfectly well for centuries. It's common knowledge among the world's sorcerors and, of course, the Grolims. Mentioning it early in the story for later use is an excellent example of Chekhov's Gun, but this may not exactly fit the trope since it isn't unusual knowledge. The page quote itself simply refers to Silk learning that green is made from blue and yellow... which had absolutely no impact on the plot beyond explaining why the Sardion was red.

On Cheers, Cliff somehow ends up a contestant on Jeopardy!. The clue categories align perfectly with his idiosyncratic "knowledge" (mothers, the Post Office, etc). He dominates the first rounds, amassing a pile of winnings, but of course ends up stupidly blowing it all in Final Jeopardy.

In the Old World of Darkness setting, a similar effect could be achieved by taking the 5-point "Jack of All Trades" Merit, which basically gave you an "illusory" 1 dot in every Skill and Knowledge, counting as basic training/understanding of each of those abilities. To actually build any of them up required buying the first dot from scratch.

Dave the Barbarian
"Termites of Endearment" Dave refuses to practice sword fighting because he's busy making decorative knick-knacks for sale. His sister Fang badgers him to practice fighting, and Dave says "one day my love of decorative knick-knacks will one day save us all!" He keeps saying this throughout the episode, usually directly to the audience. Then the Monster of the Week attacks, defeats everyone easily, and is about to kill them all—when Dave notices the monster's bracelet. The monster and Dave agree to knick-knacks together.
And in another episode, it was his origami skills.
And his Amazing Penmanship.
And then his pastry baking skills.
And Fang's bug-squishing abilities. (Notice a trend?)

When Jack asks Dan how he knows which specific restaurant the criminal ate at, Dan responds, "There's three things I know something about: fast cars, fighting crime, and the various good barbecue in the Dallas metroplex."

In one of Darkwing Duck's origin stories, the phrase "It could come in handy someday," is uttered by:
His father, as he gives Darkwing his Omniblaster gas gun (just before his space pod takes off from their exploding home planet).
His Quack Fu master, upon completing his training.
The genie he meets while travelling through the desert, who gives him his costume and his signature smoke-intro.

King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones has the "Annual Book of General Knowledge" which Graham gets after reading all of the Kolyma library's interesting and useful books. While most tips in the book are just pointless rubbish or setups for jokes, the rest have been relevant in the previous game or prove useful in the very near future, such as advice to read lines in the sand for directions which Valanice wrote to help Graham, and that mixing animal hair in potions causes interesting effects, which Graham does with a youth potion mixed with cat hair to defeat Hagatha.

Whateley Universe:
Phase is Crazy-Prepared enough to pull this off. In the fourth Phase story, he obsesses to teammates about the New Olympians, who might just be incarnations of the real Greek Gods (all of them are). In the seventh Phase story, the team is trapped in a holographic simulation facing simulacra of... the New Olympians. Phase pulls out his knowledge of them to figure out how to beat Counterpoint and how to rescue Lancer.
Phase learning about "giants" (size Warpers who use a warp field to appear to grow to giant size) in class and then using that to defeat one in Boston. He also uses the same tactic to defeat the Vindicators at the beginning of Ayla and the Birthday Brawl — he takes over Sizemax's field and uses her like a meteor hammer.
Phase is made of this trope when he's not being Crazy-Prepared or a Sheltered Aristocrat. There's the lecture he gave on fighting other mutants in "Ayla and the Birthday Brawl". There's the training manual he read in "Ayla and the Great Shoulder Angel Conspiracy". There's the financial expertise he learned about as a child in a super-rich family. There's the knowledge about religious icons he wields in "Ayla and the Grinch". And so on...

Averted in Final Fantasy VII when you search a locker in the Shinra Building and find a megaphone. Cloud sees no reason why he would need it, so he just leaves it there. The next time you visit the building you have since acquired a party member who can use megaphones as weapons, so you can pick it up if you remember to search the locker again.

This is pretty much the plot of Slumdog Millionaire. Although, it's less that the main character is full of useless information as it is every memorable event in his life happened to intercross with the questions. Sort of like if your life was a Chekhov's Armory.

In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, Nangre the librarian advises George and Paul to collect the sayings, poem lines, and other bits of graffiti and trivia found just about everywhere. She says that these strange things are the feeble attempts of the gods to communicate with the outworlders, and have meanings that might not become evident for a long time. George dubs them "Gods Chat" and keeps a list.

Done in Banjo-Kazooie. Throughout the castle, you'll come across Gruntilda's (good) sister Brentilda, who will happily tell you all of Gruntilda's embarrassing secrets. Later on, when Grunty challenges you to a quiz-style board game, these secrets become your only means to win. Note that it's possible to avoid answering the "Gruntilda Questions" for the most part if you make a slight detour to get a Joker (which lets you skip a Question). In fact, it's possible to finish the Board without having to answer any Gruntile Question. Also, the answer to each question is different and changes with each playthrough of the game. So getting Brentilda to give you the facts becomes necessary each time you play.

The Honeymooners, episode "The $99,000 Answer". Music-guru Ralph learns he is to be a contestant on a music trivia game show and Norton helps him practice for the show by playing snippets of various songs on the piano. To Ralph's ever-increasing annoyance, Norton always warms up by playing the first two lines of "Old Folks at Home" ("Way down upon the Suwanee River, far far away"). When Ralph confidently appears on the game show, the first musical clue he hears is the same two lines that Norton always warmed up with. Ralph is dumbstruck, can't come up with the answer, and is eliminated from the game on the very first question. For the record, he guessed that Norton composed it.

A short Batman: Black and White story by Warren Ellis and Jim Lee features Batman hunting down a murderous senator and fighting his way through his goons. Each skill that Batman uses is followed immediately by a one or two-panel flashback showing how he learned it. These include building a remote control, knowing the smell of every aftershave ever, knowing the exact hole size and shape different caliber bullets make in different body parts, kicking a tree in half and identifying how recently someone had a manicure from the nail impressions left in skin.

In RuneScape, one sidequest, Mahjarrat Memories, gives you an Engrammeter as a reward. Kharshai states at the end of the quest that he wonders what would happen if you were to use it on Freneskae, although he then goes on to say that he fails to see any situation in which you would go there. Guess where you end up going in the (sort of) sequel to the quest?

The Kim Possible episode "Dimension Twist": Ron's family has just got cable TV and Ron has been glued to it for so long he's memorized the channels. Not something you'd need, right? Wrong. Trapped in TV Land with the hole that dropped him there threatening to undo all of reality, he knew what to switch to plug up the tear in the space/time continuum with a horde of monkeys.

Watership Down has a couple instances of this.
Early in the book, the rabbits discover that sitting on a floating piece of wood allows a rabbit to float. This is a difficult concept for such simple animals, and only a couple of the group can wrap their heads around it. After using this principle to help a wounded rabbit get across the brook, Blackberry comments: "I admit it was a good idea. Let's remember it. It might come in handy again sometime." And of course, it does. When the rabbits have to make a quick getaway from an enemy patrol, their plan hinges on getting on a little punt and biting the rope. The enemy rabbits (and many of the escapees) are completely baffled by this tactic.
Hazel, on an impulse, saves a mouse from a kestrel. This is seen as unusual because rabbits usually have no associations with other non-predator species. Hazel, however, sees it as an opportunity. Mice are fairly useless to the rabbits, but what would be the benefit of befriending a more useful animal? Enter Kehaar. Not to mention that the mouse warns them of the arrival of the Efrafa rabbits later on.

Happens twice on Futurama. In one case, Fry's knowledge of 20th-century TV is what saves the Earth from a horde of invading aliens (they wanted to see the final episode of a TV show that was knocked off the air because Fry spilled beer on the TV station's control panel while delivering a pizza in the 20th century); and in the other case, Fry's knowledge of "good old-fashioned 20th-century garbage-making skills" saves the Earth from...a gigantic ball of 20th-century garbage...for now.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?: Since there was no hard time limit until recently, the contestant was always sure to regale the viewers at home with their life story every time they encountered a $200 question that somehow related to it. The first contestant to win the full million (with no lifelines!) was asked which of the options was not a federal holiday. He informed the audience that he was a federal employee and BSed about it for a while before answering the question.

Wayne's World
A security guard conveys a suitably detailed explanation about the whereabouts of the big-time music producer Frank Sharp. Wayne hangs a lampshade on it at the time by commenting "For a security guard, he had an awful lot of information, don't you think?" Wayne lampshades this again later when Sharp's whereabouts suddenly become important: "Aren't you glad we were there to hear that information? Seemed extraneous at the time."
The sequel does something similar as well. When Wayne and Garth arrive outside of a studio, a number of men are doing things such as moving a window back and forth across the street, stacking fruit, and so on. When asked why, the workers reply that it's just their job. Later on, Wayne crashes through them all in his car in a stereotypical "action sequence", causing the workers to state in a satisfied fashion that their job is done. Of course, the "handiness" of this is almost entirely under the Rule of Cool.

In Policenauts, local explosive expert Redwood challenges the main character Jonathan to guess which of the two wires - red or blue - must be cut to defuse the bomb he built. Jonathan guesses red "for Redwood", only for Redwood to chastise him for believing that a bomb-maker will always stick to their usual methods. Half game later, Jonathan is put in a similar situation, and he's specifically reminded of Redwood's words. The player, however, must remember that Redwood repeatedly lies to Jonathan. Since he built the bomb, the correct answer really is "red for Redwood".

Portal 2: (paraphrased) "Moonrocks crushed into powder and then mixed with water"..."makes a great conductor for portals" becomes extremely useful during the final boss battle, not only at the beginning but at the end your character shoots a portal into the moon, thereby sucking the BBEG into space.

Inverted in Paycheck, where Ben Affleck's character is given the (temporary) foreknowledge of his own future, and based on this he gives himself an envelope full of odds and ends that he will need in the near future. However, he gets his memory wiped and must reverse engineer his own future to survive.

In the Leverage episode "The Corkscrew Job", we learn that while a winery now uses sophisticated technology to filter out deadly carbon dioxide from the lower levels of the winery, before that technology was available, they periodically opened certain doors in the upper level to allow the gas to escape. At the end of the episode, the owner of the winery shuts off said sophisticated technology in an attempt to kill someone via carbon dioxide poisoning and make it look like an accident, and Parker and Elliot use that knowledge to open those doors and release the gas.

When Kaito transports him to the Otherworld and Ian has to proceed to get back out, he uses his knowledge to fight, using a pair of iron scissors that are an effective weapon against fairies and gets Ainsel across a sweetwater river so that the Nuckelavee chasing them can't follow them.

A rather awesome example occurs in the fourth season of Resurrection: Ertuğrul. Here, Ertugrul tells his son Gunduz a story about a cyclops-like creature named Tepegoz. One day, a brave man dealt with the beast by injuring it in the eye and although it didn’t kill Tepegoz outright, it caused him to lose his eyesight and weakened him in the process. This story becomes useful when Gunduz is abducted by the mercenary Titan and taken to Karacahisar, where he encounters Tekfur Ares. After Ares announces that he wants to rechristen Gunduz to Kronos, the Bey’s son boldly pulls out a stone from his pocket and jabs it into one of Ares’ eyes, causing him to be half-blinded for the remainder of the season.

Back in volume 4 of High School Dx D, Sirzechs asks Issei as to what happens if the latter uses Gift on Rias' breasts, then tells him not to worry about it. Seven volumes later, the spirits of the past Boosted Gear users bring it up again and sure enough, Issei uses said skill(with permission from Rias, who readily accepts), and the end result? Rias becomes a battery for Issei at the cost of her breasts shrinking.

It ends up saving the group's life more than once when the group of preteens, ages 11 to 14, get marooned on an uncharted island by themselves well, not really by themselves. There's also a terrorist group on there too.

In the New World of Darkness Tabletop RPG, Encyclopedic Knowledge, which is a four-dot Merit (keeping in mind that you only get seven dots for Merits at character creation), is basically this, allowing you to make a roll anytime you come across...well, anything, really, that might cause you to remember something you once read/heard/saw that might be pertinent to the situation. Also, you can only buy it at character creation, because "you've either spent your life soaking up useless trivia or you haven't".
