My favorite example is in Matt Groening’s Christmas animated film, “Olive the Other Reindeer” (it’s great if you like holiday stuff).
Olive is locked in the evil mailman’s van – he’s trying to stop Christmas and Olive needs to stop him. There are piles of mail, and she spots a box addressed to her, that hasn’t been delivered to her house yet. She opens it and there’s a metalworking file in it, so she can cut the lock and escape the truck.
She notices the return address on the box is “Deus Ex Machina”.
