History FireBreathingDiner / WesternAnimation

* In the second episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'', when Hop Pop insists that Anne and Sprig stay home, Sprig suggests that they have some fun by tasting his "pain peppers". He starts breathing fire about a second after merely touching his tongue to one.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/PopeyeTheSailor'' cartoon, ''What? No Spinach?'', Wimpy puts hot sauce on some roast duck, making Popeye breathe fire.

* ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'': In "Martha Makes Scents", OG Kennelly ([[CloudCuckooLander TD]]'s father and an inventor) draws Martha eating a chili and then breathing fire on a blackboard.
* No literal fire, but ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' did an episode where Peter takes stupid dares for 10$, and the first one involves drinking a shot glass of hot sauce. Immediatly after drinking, Peter sees visions of an inferno, a volcano eruption, and [[OneOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the Carneval in Rio]].

* In the first episode of ''{{Bordertown}}'', Pepito sneaks a pair of red chili peppers into Bud's taco at J.C's graduation party, and Bud immediatly starts spewing flames...from both his mouth ''and his anus''. He gulps down a bottle of water, only for the water to pour out his ass from the damage the fire did.

* Done realistically in one of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''' earlier episodes, "Waiter, there's a Baby In My Soup!", where Stu has no choice but to bring Tommy with him to an important business dinner with the president of Mucklehoney industries (a toy factory). Tommy wriggles out of his baby chai under their notice, and wanders into the kitchen where he pours garlic powder, pepper, and hot sauce into a chef's soup prepared for the president. Upon sampling the concoction, the president struggles all over the floor, gasping for water while Tommy returns inside a bowl of spaghetti.

* When Heffer eats Hot Tamales in the ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' episode "Spitballs" and is about to do this, Rocko points him to the opposite direction. The duck that was sitting next to him becomes a cooked goose.

* Happens in one of the ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials'' when Garfield samples some of Grandma’s sausage gravy. Afterwards, he deems it “perfect”.

** In "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim Joking Victim]]," [[CoolBigSis Amethyst]] uses magical "fire salt" on some fries she gives [[KidHero Steven]] at the start of the episode. Later, he and [[StraightMan Sadie]] try using it on a donut for [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Lars]] as revenge for him skipping work ([[WomanScorned among other things]]); between them using too much and it getting stuck in his throat he winds up running crazily through the town, breathing fire. In this case, it's actually played semi-seriously as a near-DeadlyPrank.
** Played with by one joke in "Gem Harvest": Amethyst burps up some fire once, not because what she ate was spicy, but because it was ''flammable''--specifically [[ExtremeOmnivore straight cooking oil]].

* Happens in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', when Monkey eats some lava, thinking it is candy, making him breathe fire. This episode was a parody of ''SpeedRacer'' so the cartoon logic is even looser than normal.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim Joking Victim]]," [[CoolBigSis Amethyst]] uses magical "fire salt" on some fries she gives [[KidHero Steven]] at the start of the episode. Later, he and [[StraightMan Sadie]] try using it on a donut for [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Lars]] as revenge for him skipping work ([[WomanScorned among other things]]); between them using too much and it getting stuck in his throat he winds up running crazily through the town, breathing fire. In this case, it's actually played semi-seriously as a near-DeadlyPrank.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'': Stay away from Scrooge's chili! In "Ducks of the West", Scrooge cooks up a potful. It turns everybody who eats it (aside from Scrooge) into a FireBreathingDiner. Scrooge's unintentional victims then head to a nearby horse trough to cool out their mouths.

* No literal fire, but ''FamilyGuy'' did an episode where Peter takes stupid dares for 10$, and the first one involves drinking a shot glass of hot sauce. Immediatly after drinking, Peter sees visions of an inferno, a volcano eruption, and [[OneOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the Carneval in Rio]].

* Happens in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', when Monkey eats some lava, thinking it is candy, making him breathe fire.

* This happened to Iggy in the ''[[ComicStrip/LittleLulu The Little Lulu Show]]'' episode, "Tiny Tots Syrup", after eating some apparently spicy candies in order to get the terrible taste of said tonic out of his mouth.

** Happens to Rocko in "Rocko's Happy Sack" when he eats a free sample for Volcano Puffs. He puts out the fire by drinking from a lobster tank ([[FridgeLogic which wouldn't help, since lobsters live in saltwater]]), leading to the lobsters attacking him.
* ''WesternAnimation/TazMania'': Happens in "Francis takes a Stand" when Francis switches Taz's lemonade recipe for a hot sauce recipe. Taz's resulting fire breath scorches Francis like a flamethrower. When Francis tries to turn the tables on Taz and takes a swig of the lemonade/hot sauce, his fire breath acts like a jet engine and propels him into a cliff.

* In the episode, "The Spice Game" from ''TeenTitansGo'' the Titans, sans Robin, all become addicted to spicy foods, using peppers and such on everything, to the point where even the mighty Habanero does nothing for them. They then consume the "Tears of Zephos" and begin breathing fire uncontrollably, forcing them to quest for milk from the Dairy King to put out the fires.

--> '''Iroh:''' To perform the technique requires peace of mind.
--> '''Zuko:''' I see. That's why we're drinking tea. To calm the mind.
--> '''Iroh:''' ({{beat}}) ... [[SureLetsGoWithThat Oh yeah, good point!]]

* In the ''SushiPack'' episode "Red Hot Chili Planet," Ben had to pass along a message from Wasabi to the others, but since Wasabi [[TheUnintelligible speaks "mustard"]], Ben has trouble getting the inflection right. Ikura suggests he drink some hot sauce to get it right, and with one drop, Ben is breathing fire (and starts speaking "mustard")!

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Twilight Sparkle accidentally drinks some hot sauce, and though her face does turn red with a kettle-whistle effect, it's her ''mane'', not her breath, that turns to fire.

** Even Pinkie Pie herself falls victim to this; she breathes fire for a moment after literally tasting a rainbow in "Sonic Rainboom". The fire even turns multiple colors. Keep in mind that Pinkie is seen eating a cupcake drenched in hot sauce in the pilot episodes.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/Popeye'' cartoon, ''What? No Spinach?'', Wimpy puts hot sauce on some roast duck, making Popeye breathe fire.

* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' suffers this twice. In "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E15CantBayouLove Can't Bayou Love]]" he tries some brownies, which make him belch fire out of his mouth.

Also in " Monsters-R-Us", where he eats some Transylvanian goulash, which makes him breathe fire.
