Would a perfect example be Batman (1960's), and his utility belt?

 Beyond perfect.

 I remember one episode in which Batman and Robin are dropped into a vat of sharks.  Luckily Batman has a large canisterof Shark Repellent attached to his utility belt - just in case.

Gasp!  How could you be more wrong, YIYF?  First of all, this isn't an episode.  This is the iconic movie, wherein Robin, in the Batcopter, flies Batman, who's on a ladder, out over the ocean to catch up to a passing yacht... which suddenly disappears.  This leaves Batman floundering in the water, and when he's pulled back up, an angry shark is attached to his leg.  Luckily, Robin has a can of Shark-Repellant Bat Spray in the Batcopter and lowers it down to Batman who sprays the shark, which falls back into the water and... explodes.

When you write it your way, it just sounds silly!
