History Main / JugglingDangerously

* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' has Vauban, who will do a one-handed ShowerJuggle as a charging if you hold down the key for his Tesla Nervos. It falls under this trope, because Tesla Nervos are ambulatory electroshock grenades, and are so dangerous that merely being within a few meters of one will result in the Tesla latching onto its new friend with homicidal enthusiasm and applying several thousand volts directly into their central nervous system (or equivalent).

* ''WesternAnimation/InnerWorkings'' features a chainsaw juggler as a background character at the beach. At one point, his brain gets an ImagineSpot of him tripping into the juggler and getting sawn to pieces as a result.

* In ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'', David is a fire-dance who juggles torches on stage at a restaurant and accidentally sets things on fire, embarrassing himself in front of his crush, Nani.

* One joke has a juggler pulled over by a police officer for a broken taillight who accedes to having his trunk searched. When the police officer finds the bag of machetes and chainsaws, the juggler offers to show the officer that he had a legit business use for them, and begins juggling them. Cue another driver going by and commenting that "sobriety tests are getting ridiculous".

* ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'': On Plunder Island, Slappy Cromwell's "Speare!" is a pirate-themed revue of scenes from Creator/WilliamShakespeare's plays, including such embellishments as a scene where Slappy juggles things like knives and cannonballs.

* In ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'', David juggles torches on stage at a restaurant and accidentally sets things on fire, embarrassing himself in front of his crush, Nani.

* In [[VideoGame/AladdinVirginGames the Sega Genesis Licensed Game of]] ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', some enemies are juggling knives, and throwing some at you. Throwing apples at them can lead to the apples getting sliced in midair.

* In ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', David juggles torches on stage at a restaurant and accidentally sets things on fire, embarrassing himself in front of his crush, Nani.

* In ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'', Vetinari goes from juggling melons, to juggling melons and knives. He adds the knives because juggling items of multiple shapes is more difficult than juggling items of only one type. This is followed with a footnote that this is, in fact, true even of chainsaws, but if you do happen to miss one, that's only the first of your problems, and some more will be along shortly.

* Penn of Creator/PennAndTeller has a routine where he juggles broken wine bottles (very carefully smashed open at the large end, so he's not going to hurt himself as long as he catches them by the neck every time) while pattering on at length about how this is the most difficult and dangerous thing he's going to do all evening.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' episode "Comedians", the first scene inside the Laff Hole shows a juggler juggling a small white ball, an axe, and a chainsaw. It is heavily implied that his arm is cut off by the chainsaw at the end of the act. At the end of the episode, Beavis sets up his own juggling act involving newspapers lit on fire. Cut to Beavis and Butthead outside the Laff Hole, watching the fire department arrive and put out the fire.
* This is one of the things [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Sandy Cheeks]] does in order to win a world record. However, they land on [=SpongeBob=] and cut him into pieces. Luckily, he can [[PullingThemselvesTogether pull himself together]].

A common yet [[DontTryThisAtHome very dangerous]] trick that is often performed at sideshows and circuses. It is typical for someone of exceptional bravery to juggle chainsaws while the chainsaws are running. In WesternAnimation, expect a character to appear fine for a minute before [[BloodlessCarnage literally falling apart]] or to fall through a hole in the floor that was caused by the chainsaws.

* One ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' cartoon shows a stage performer who has been juggling nuclear warheads, but has just dropped them all over the place. An audience member complains: "More like ''defused'' nuclear warheads!"[note]RealityIsUnrealistic; a nuclear warhead will ''not'' detonate from being dropped, even from thousands of feet in the air.[/note]
