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...

when you get your dick sucked by the school whore in the bathroom and brag about it for the rest of your high school career
Did you hear that Bryson and Sarah got caught in the bathroom pulling a DK, and now Bryson thinks that he is the fucking shit.

When a player seduces someone and compliments them just for fun for a while then slowly lets them down and say we shouldnt go out and i dont like u anymore after a certain period of time. A Patrick can last between 10 minutes to even a week.
I dont like her anymore so im gonna dump her but I dont want her to cry. So i'm gonna pull a patrick and compliment her so when i break up with her she wont be as sad.

To suddenly release a work to the public without any leaks, warnings, or promotion, as Beyoncé did on December 13, 2013 when she placed her self-titled album on iTunes. In the process, it shot straight to number one.
-"When Beyoncé pulled a Beyoncé, her fans went insane."
-"When the hell is Azealia Banks going to release her album? At this rate, she's going to have to pull a Beyoncé!"
-"Beyoncé actually isn't the first one to pull a Beyoncé. Death Grips does that with every album they make."

Giving zero fucks and using broken exploits and somehow still not getting banned.
Alternatively; hitting on girls through their stream in hopes of sliding into their DMs.
Brad was Pulling a Jay when he gave zero fucks as he exploited the AS packet, but, "It's okay because I'll only level it to 14 instead of max."
