This can also be used to describe when, in a TV show or movie, a character comes up with a never-before-seen power just in the nick of time, therefore winning the fight. An ass pull either has a completely unbelievable explanation or the writer conveniently forgets to add one in.

This is most commonly seen in anime (esp. bleach and sailor moon) where the characters are all about to die, but then one of them (in those two, it's almost always Ichigo or Usagi) goes 'oh wait, I forgot about my superawesomeultramove that can kill all the bad guys'.
When Ichigo learns bankai in three days because...um...well...you see this is why it's an ass pull.

Sailor moon aquires 6 different forms throughout the series (7 if you include her normal form), each being inexplicably more powerful than the last. Why? Because she needed to kill the bad guys who were also getting inexplicably more powerful. What, you didn't expect her to lose, did you?

Superman coming up with his 'super-weaving' ability when he needed to make a wedding dress for some reason. Why? Because all superheroes have super-weaving, they just never use it...

Also known as Advanced Procrastination Literature or AP Lit. for short, is a high school class for "gifted" seniors who are supposedly extremely intelligent. In reality, these students have simply mastered the art of Bull-Shitting their way through English for the last 3-5 years of their lives. They just pull ideas out of their ass and write a fancily worded essay the night before and get A's on everything.
Giorgio: Oh my gosh Adam! How do you have an A in Advanced Placement Literature
Adam: It is actually called Ass Pulling Literature, I just wrote this essay that I got a 100% on last night
Vanessa: Me Too! These ideas came straight out of my asshole!
