In a God Guise or Time Travel scenario, a modern person with some technological convenience uses it to try and impress the more primitive locals. Guns and cigarette lighters are common versions, with Polaroid cameras and portable radios not far behind. Japanese fiction has a particularly ludicrous variant, where a medieval Europe analogue is introduced to such "unbelievable technologies" as fold-forged sabers and short-form writing systems. See also Convenient Eclipse for another way to impress the locals. It's almost never played straight anymore. If the time traveler gives modern technology to the locals, it's Giving Radio to the Romans. If it's done with contemporary music, it's A Little Something We Call "Rock and Roll". If the time traveler uses the technology to pretend to have outright supernatural powers, they're a Sham Supernatural. If the natives buy it, a Cargo Cult may spring up. Has a strong overlap with Firearms Are Revolutionary, in which firearms prove to be a major game-changer when a society invents them. Named for a famous line in Army of Darkness, the third Evil Dead film, where the time-displaced zombie-fighting housewares stocker Ash is threatened by medieval peasants. He has a shotgun. Violent Hilarity Ensues. Nothing to do with an actual Boom Stick. See also Mundane Object Amazement and Easily Impressed. |

In an episode of The Adventures of Superman, several people get sent to the time of the cavemen. A mobster quickly gets the cavemen to obey him with his lighter and gun and sets them against the others. Superman puts a stop to it by demonstrating he is more powerful (making a bigger fire with his heat vision, punching through a boulder, etc). | |

Stuck on a backwater planet in Star Ocean: The Second Story, space cadet Claude unthinkingly uses his laser pistol to dispatch a monster threatening a local girl. Worse, it turns out the natives have a prophecy about a "hero from the skies" bearing a "Sword of Light". Eventually the gun's battery runs out, and he's forced to make do with an actual sword. Comes back again if Opera is recruited as she comes equipped with a large beam rifle. | |

In Sluggy Freelance, Zoe is launched back in time and is imprisoned because she is thought to be spy. But she is given her "strange club" (shotgun) and saves the stupid king with it "She can call down the thunder to smite tie unrighteous!" Incidentally this plotline starts with a joke referring to Evil Dead. A nude magazine is also used to persuade the very very hard-to-persuade hermit. | |

Dave the Barbarian: In "Ned Frischman: Man of Tomorrow" the nerdy Ned travels back in time to impress natives with the power of a garage door opener. However, since there are no garage doors to open it doesn't produce the effect he desired. Played straight later on when Ned brings back video games which everyone soon becomes addicted to. He also invents the sitcom. Though it is eventually made obsolete when the heroes invent reality programming. | |

One has to wonder what Picard was thinking in Star Trek: Insurrection when he continues to try and explain things like holograms to the Ba'ku even after they reveal they're just as knowledgeable and technologically capable as he is, if not more.

Played straight in all of Larry Niven's Ringworld books. Justified in that the explorer's third millennium technology truly IS godlike by the standards of most of the subsistence level natives. Subverted in that at first they frequently trip over the EXISTING religious dogma / cargo cult of the previous owners. | |

In an early episode of Stargate SG-1, O'Neill manages to strike a deal with a Mongol-like-descended tribe leader to trade a captured Carter for one of his handguns. They team leaves as the camp triumphantly cheers on their leader, shooting in the air with his new, potent weapon. O'Neill then nonchalantly quips that they should get a move on before the clip runs out. And perhaps somewhat subverted in a much later episode when O'Neil's team delivers several crates filled with modern firearms to help supply a group of rebel Jaffa they're allied with. The Jaffa, more used to the flashy energy weapons they'd been trained with by the Goa'uld they'd previously served, are quite skeptical of the value of the Earth-made weapons. O'Neill has to convince them that they're worth using by having Carter (wielding a FN[Fabrique Nationale] P-90) do a side-by-side comparison with a Jaffa marksman wielding a staff weapon at the shooting range. The staff weapon blows a flaming chunk out of the target log (and misses two out of five shots), while the P-90 saws it in half, before Carter finishes by firing a single shot to cut the rope the log is hanging from. O'Neill points out that staff weapons are designed to invoke this trope by being big, flashy, and terrifying, whereas a P-90 is designed to kill things very efficiently. Played straight in the seventh season episode Enemy Mine when Daniel gives a lighter to the Unas leader as a thank you gift for not slaughtering the humans. Earlier in the same episode Daniel had given him a chocolate brownie. In another episode, a human slaver who sells Unas has captured the team and develops a liking for firearms, as they inflict more pain to the Unas than staff weapons. He kills a slave Unas by emptying the entire clip and then says that the drawback of the weapon appears to be that it stops functioning after a time (obviously, he doesn't understand the concept of ammunition). After a beat, he produces the clips for the weapon and guesses they have something to do with it (and indeed, doesn't take long to figure out how to reload). |

An episode of Doraemon revolved around this: Nobita tried gathering a number of modern objects and using the time machine to travel back in time to the prehistoric age in order to invoke the trope and have the locals make him their king. However, being an idiot, the stuff he took either didn't work in that era (like a radio or a flashlight without batteries), or didn't cause any awe whatsoever (like a pack of playing cards). He ends up mistaken for a monkey and tied to a leash by some cave people looking suspiciously like his friends. To humiliate him even further, Doraemon shows up, chases away a mammoth with his ray gun and the cave people make him their king. | |

In Hocus Pocus Max fools the Sanderson sisters by claiming to be a wizard, at which point he uses a lighter to set off the fire-sprinklers, calling down the "black rain of death." Being from the past, they are unfamiliar with 20th century technology. There is a lot of this played for laughs in this movie, including believing firemen are witch hunters (with axes to chop the wood to burn us), and riding a vacuum cleaner when one of their brooms is stolen. The witches eventually catch on. When they're lured into a furnace by a cassette tape player with a language lesson (they think the protagonists are talking) and almost burned alive, the head witch comes out, obviously annoyed, and starts quoting the tape. |

In combining sci fi and fantasy, Warlock of Gramarye seems to play with this trope. The protagonist is from the future and encounters a "renaissance fairesque" planet some of whose residents have magical powers. Thus, he uses technology as magic, as is typical of the trope, but only because he is in a Magitek world. | |

Spoofed in an episode of Pinky and the Brain. Brain tries to claim an island for his own by impressing the natives with a lighter ("I can make fire from a tiny box") and a mirror ("I can steal your soul, and put it in this piece of glass"). The fairly savvy natives are unimpressed ("So what?" "Big deal." "Let's eat 'em"). Pinky, on the other hand, could make bubbles with his spit, and the natives are impressed. | |

George of the Jungle: Parodied/subverted: Lyle Van de Groot, rich snob white guy, attempts to impress his native guides by offering them lighters and showing off his Polaroid camera... even though his guides are clearly familiar with such things. The guides play along for a bit, and then burst out laughing at him, whereupon their translator makes it clear they're not only unimpressed, they know more about cameras than he does. Going the other direction, Lyle later attempts to scare George off with a lighter shaped like a handgun. George, having never seen any kind of gun before, keeps charging. Then it turns out the gun is real (as Lyle inadvertently grabbed a gun off a guide instead of his lighter, with both objects looking identical). |

The entire premise of the Prometheus and Bob shorts from KaBlam!. Prometheus (an alien) tries to invoke this trope by teaching Bob (a caveman) about science and technology. Every attempt hilariously fails thanks to Prometheus' ego, Bob's idiocy, and a mischievous, intelligent chimpanzee. | |

This trope sets up Your Mother was a Neanderthal, part of the Time Warp Trio series of children's books. The trio get it into their heads that if they travel as far back in time as possible and impress the natives with their modern equipment (including a Swiss Army knife, a thermometer, and a deck of cards), they will be worshipped as magical beings and have a much more comfortable adventure than their previous ones (in each of which they have come close to grisly death at least twice). Since time travel never goes well for these kids, they discover upon their arrival in the time of the cavemen that all of their modern possessions, even their clothes, have disappeared. This is never adequately explained; the idea is that the materials for these items did not exist at the time that they travelled to, but that still leaves the question of why their stuff didn't disappear when they travelled to King Arthur's court in the first book of the series. | |

A Long Time Until Now, in which soldier squads from various eras are transported into the prehistoric era, has a humorous inversion. Ancient Roman legionaries attempt to intimidate a squad of modern-day American soldiers by demonstrating 17th century muskets. The Americans quickly put them in their place by showing what their guns are capable of. | |

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Otherworlder Glenda tries to invoke this by threatening the Eastern Empire "merchant" (actually one of the Empire's Imperial Guard) Damrada with her personal weapon, a Glock pistol that she brought with her from her original world and something she knows almost no one in this world knows about. Damrada instead reveals he is very aware of what that gun is and how dangerous it is, because the Eastern Empire has been using the knowledge of gathered Otherworlders to produce similar and more powerful weapons, including tanks, and how very few in the Western nations would realize how dangerous it could be which likely helps her in her assassination missions. | |

The fifth The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel, Mostly Harmless, does a Double Subversion of this trope. Arthur Dent, stranded with a primitive tribe (by the standards of the Sufficiently Advanced Aliens he'd been hanging out with up to then) after an accident, thinks about using this trope and/or Giving Radio to the Romans, but realizes that he really doesn't know enough to do anything that would impress them. Then he makes a sandwich. One Flash Forward later, and the village has given him the sacred position of Sandwich Maker, complete with an eager apprentice. | |

Zukahnaut plays this straight, unless you consider the fact that the natives have the technology and the creatures that came through some sort of dimensional portal don't an inversion. At the true end of the conflict between the goat men and the monkey centaurs that's carried over from their shared native world, Darius, under threat by the groups he's been trying to talk down, breaks a primitive spear by putting a bullet through it. He then explains the situation completely to make it clear to the two sides. As Darius points out, the trope is justified in so far as many individuals and groups are technologically behind (though they may have magic or other advantages). Before giving the speech he actually uses, Darius gives a Shout-Out to Army of Darkness, "Man I wish I knew the boom-stick speech by heart..." | |

Played with in Timecop. The opening scene has a terrorist using submachine guns to kill a group of Confederate soldiers in 1864 but that was hardly "showing off" before he did it. Later, an agent is seen going into his Wall Street office in 1929 and listening to a CD player of heavy metal music as he works but makes sure it's in private. | |

Elizabeth, unimpressed, says that they already have such things: they're called "markets". As he is accosted by palace guards, he drops a roll of breath mints. Elizabeth tastes a mint, and, declaring it "the tastiest thing in the history of the world", lets him go. | |

Doctor Who: In "The War Games", the Second Doctor proves he's from the future by demonstrating the use of the sonic screwdriver (on actual screws, for once). "The Pandorica Opens": River intimidates the Roman commander by disintegrating a piece of furniture with her gun, explicitly comparing it to the Romans' intimidation of barbarians before she does so. "The Girl Who Died": When the Doctor and Clara are threatened by Vikings, the Doctor attempts to impress them with his sonic sunglasses, only for them to casually snatch them from his face and break them in half. Later, the Doctor tries (and fails) to convince a Viking village that he's Odin by wowing them with his yo-yo skills. Made even less impressive when the Mire show up, who have already put on a much more convincing display (without yo-yo). |

Erfworld is something of a subversion, as it features a strategy game geek who gets summoned into a game world. His knowledge of exploiting game mechanics to great effect might have changed the course of the war were it not for his superior, Lord Stanley. Parson did change the course of the war, by Uncroaking the volcano and roasting the entire invading army. Now things are going sorta kinda his way. Maybe. | |

Outlander is about a soldier from a highly technologically advanced planet who finds himself among the Vikings after crashing on Earth, pursued by a dragon-like alien. After a while he loses his gun, which is the only weapon that can harm the creature - or so he thinks.

In the pilot episode of Stargate Atlantis, Sheppard shows two Athosian kids his night-vision goggles. They immediately ask if they can keep it. Subverted a short time later: Sheppard takes out his lighter to light a torch, only to have Teyla take out some sort of infrared laser and light the torch herself. An amused Teyla then comments "We mastered fire a long time ago..." Later, the team is introduced to a village of farmers called the Genii. Sheppard offers to trade with them for food. As payment, he offers to give them C4 to quickly get rid of trees to clear more areas for farming. The Genii are interested in C4... as detonators for their nuclear weapons in order to destroy Wraith hive-ships. As it turns out, they have vast underground bunkers with a 50's era society, with the farmers on the surface as a façade. |

Played with in The Saga of Darren Shan: some 700 years ago, Mr. Des Tiny gave the vampires two magical gifts — the Hall of Princes, a magical dome at the top of Vampire Mountain made of some kind of impenetrable glowing stone, that can only be opened by the hands of a Vampire Prince, and the Stone of Blood, a red stone that can track any vampire that gives their blood to it, as well as send them telepathic messages. A vampire becomes a Prince by giving their blood to the stone in a special ceremony, making it connected to the dome. When Darren first sees these things, he suggests that it was some kind of advanced technology, but his vampire mentor Mr. Crepsley tells him they aren't. These gifts are the reason why he vampires believe Mr. Tiny's prophecies and follow all of his commands — they believe he has great power. He reinforces this belief by manipulating the dome in ways the vampires don't understand. This is before Darren knows that Mr. Tiny can time travel. In the end it turns out that the Stone is the brain of a kind of genetically engineered "Dragon" from the future, and the Dome is likely the scales or bones from the same creature. | |
