* The Boov from ''WesternAnimation/{{Home}}'' are willing to eat a lot of strange things, including footballs, motor oil, and paintings. Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'' nearly ends up being lunch.

* In ''Film/ReturnToOz'', the Nome King turns into a giant rock monster and tries to eat the Gump (which is made of a Gump's head attached to a sofa). They save the head, but he does eat the sofa. He later tries to eat Jack (who is made of sticks, though he does have a pumpkin for a head). It is likely he would have tried to eat the Scarecrow as well if [[spoiler: Billina had not laid an egg that fell down the Nome King's throat and killed him]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'', Gru's detailing of [[TestosteronePoisoning El Macho]]'s life before his supposed death shows him pouring alcohol and snake venom into a shot glass, then he eats the whole glass. Later when El Macho demonstrates the effects of the [[PsychoSerum PX-41]] on Gru's minion Kevin, the latter eats a mechanical swinging ax, a bomb, and a police cruiser.
* Lou, the goanna in ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' is apparently very pleased to be eating Zac and cheerfully gulps down a snail and plants as he chases after the poor guy.

* In ''Film/BlackCatWhiteCat'' a pig slowly eats a whole car in several short scenes spead all along the film.
* Vermin from ''Film/TimeBandits''. "He eats ''anything!''"
* In ''Film/TheMask'', the [=titular=] artifact turns Stanley Ipkiss into a human cartoon. Thus, at the climax, he is able to neutralize a bomb by swallowing it and letting it explode inside him. The only side effects to this are comical distension as it explodes, followed by a fiery belch afterward.
** This exact same gag was done in the pilot episode of ''[[Series/LoisAndClark Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman]]'', where Superman's debut as a superhero involved ''eating a bomb on a space shuttle''.
** In the animated series, a villain wants to blow up Edge City with a nuclear missile. The Mask covers said missile with bread, sauce and salad, and stands on the place it would hit the ground with his mouth open. Although this time the bomb-eating [[NonFatalExplosions gets him charred and smoked]].
-->'''Mask:''' [turning to the viewers] That's right folks. I'M GONNA EAT IT!
* [[Creator/MarxBrothers Harpo Marx's]] character(s) were frequently like this.
* Bill Murray's character in ''Film/OsmosisJones'' contracts a lethal virus by eating a hard-boiled egg he'd dropped on the ground near the monkey cage at a zoo. He arm-wrestles the egg away from a grabby monkey, then heedlessly pops it into his mouth.

* The dog in ''Film/{{Snatch}}'' eats a shoe, a rubber chew toy, and [[spoiler:an 86 karat diamond...which has actually lost a couple of karats by the time it comes out of his digestive tract]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' ([[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant the animated one from the 1980's]]) has an interesting example in Unicron, a massive robot the size and approximate shape of a large planet, that eats, well, [[ApocalypseHow planets]]! He comes into this category because planets typically tend to have lots of things on them, which he gobbles up along with the rocks themselves.
* As part of its MO, Film/{{The Thing|1982}} consumes and imitates any form of life. And we DO mean ANY. Be glad Antarctica is practically devoid of life, or our heroes would have been dealing with more mutated animals than just the 'dog' they incinerated.
* During the scene in ''Film/{{Help}}'' where Music/TheBeatles come on dressed as a marching band, Music/GeorgeHarrison [[FunnyBackgroundEvent takes a giant bite out of one of his cymbals.]]

* In ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'', Mr. Gloop eats a microphone.

* Crossed with EatDirtCheap in ''Film/Godzilla2014'', as the Mutos consume radioactive material. Even a nuclear bomb is little more than a metallic pastry to them.

* An interesting example is Dopey in ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', in that he doesn't intentionally or even knowingly eat anything that he isn't supposed to; it just always happens to accidentally make its way down his throat.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'', Gru's detailing of [[TestosteronePoisoning El Macho]]'s life before his supposed death shows him pouring alcohol and snake venom into a shot glass, then he eats the whole glass.

* In the 1934 short subject ''Roast Beef And Movies'', Curly Howard (in a rare appearance away from Creator/TheThreeStooges), eats goldfish and the buttons off a friend's vest. He also claims to have eaten the metal canisters holding the film that he and his friends had made.

* In the live-action version of ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' , the titular character is depicted eating a discarded wine bottle, a Santa plate and a superheated bolt.

* Link from EncinoMan will eat anything he can get his hands on. Some of the things he eats are actually food (salsa, butter, Hot Pockets, candy bars, etc.), and some are obviously ''not'' (dog food, bath beads, formaldehyde-preserved frogs, and so on). The one and only thing he ever ate that he reacted negatively to was the salsa, because it was hot and he drank an entire bowl of it. He got over it about ten seconds later.
