* An episode of ThatsSoRaven has Raven harboring a goat in her house that eats her cellphone (among many other things).

* One episode of ''[=~M*A*S*H~=]'' involves the entire payroll being eaten by a goat (which had been bought by one of the first soldiers to get paid under the auspice of it being economically sound -- he could, after all, get fresh milk from it). This causes numerous problems for the unit, as they must convince superiors that they [[RefugeInAudacity lost their money because a goat ate it]], and one character had taken a loan from another at a ludicrous interest rate on the assumption that he would be able to pay it back pretty much the next day.
* ''TheAndyGriffithShow'' episode "The Loaded Goat" has the title critter endangering the town of Mayberry after consuming a crateful of dynamite sticks.

* In ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (the Disney version), Djali the goat eats Quasimodo's figures, which are made out of wood.
* Grover of ''PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' is actually a satyr, but half-goat surely counts and he certainly eats everything.
** Same for Philocites in Disney's ''{{Hercules}}'', who at one point is seen eating pottery, the AncientGreece equivalent of the tin can.
* As usual, TexAvery takes this trope and goes to town with it in the MGM cartoon "Billy Boy", about a goat that literally eats a farmer out of house and home. [[spoiler:The cartoon ends with Billy being flown to the moon... which he then eats!]]
* And of course, DonaldDuck has had one of these as well. I think it ate the rope.

* Two ArchieComics examples:

* The recent trailer for the upcoming film Babies end with a goat (implicitly, but not shown) eating a baby's feces.
* The song ''Paddy Mc Ginty's Goat'', though his preference was largely for clothing, especially the back of people's outfits.

* In ''HowIMetYourMother'' Ted spends most of an episode trying to keep a goat from eating Robin's towels.

* The Livejournal mascot is Frank the Goat, who is often blamed for "eating" posts and comments.

* This troper recalls a children's book he read in his youth about a goat whose parents are very concerned-he doesn't want to eat normal things like cans and boxes, he wants these bizarre concoctions, like scrambled eggs, and tacos, and peanut butter sandwiches. They eventually start him on a regimen that centers around compromise-they'll let him eat what he wants (ie some peas) if he also eats what they think he should (ie the can); they realize it's worked too well when he starts noshing on Dad's ties and Mom's sewing kit, and have to tell him to scale it back a bit.
** This troper recalls it also-- it's ''Gregory, the Terrible Eater'', written by Mitchell Sharmat and illustrated by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey.

* TruthInTelevision, within limits. ThisTroper recalls a documentary about goats eating roses. To try and stop them somebody bred roses that supposedly tasted so horrible the goats wouldn't eat them. The goats ate them.
** This Troper once was at a petting zoo where you could feed the animals, with little dixie cups full of feed. When he offered some to the goat, he ate the whole thing- cup and all.
