* The first time Molotov appears in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Brock throws a knife at her and she catches it in her teeth. Then she licks the blade and tries to stab him.
* Ubiquitous to the point where the vast majority of its uses fall under MundaneUtility in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Completely justified since, as ponies, they have no hands with which to manipulate objects.
* When Splinter finally faces the Shredder in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'', he manages to catch one of Shredder's blades with his teeth and break it. This isn't too far from what rats in real life can do, having been observed chewing through concrete or even lead pipes; in fact it's at this point Splinter turns the fight around by fighting like a rat instead of a man (including RunningOnAllFours).
* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' was once given the task of retrieving a scarf from around a pole with his teeth...''while on horseback.'' He succeeded, thanks to his "Gadget Teeth," a pair of flying, remote-controlled dentures. (Just so we're clear, the guy who challenged him was a MAD Agent, and the scarf had a bomb in it.)

** One part of the search for Jack the Ripper in "[[Recap/TotalDramaISeeLondon I See London...]]" requires the teams to undress a Beefeater to find a clue in his clothes. Team CIRRRRH nominates Tyler for the job, who is under the mistaken impression that he has to undress the Beefeater with his teeth only. Noah lets him stumble a bit before setting him straight.
** At the prospect of getting a kiss from Cody in "[[Recap/TotalDramaNiagaraBrawls Niagara Brawls]]", Sierra becomes hellbent on saving everyone from going over the Niagara Falls. She ties a rope around Owen, throws him over to the other paddle boat as grapnel, holds the rope between her teeth, and starts paddling the boat she's in forward with superhuman speed.

* Music/TheyMightBeGiants' song "I've Got A Fang" opens with the lyric: "Glistening white triangular tooth / Open up a can of tomato juice." Reportedly, the song was inspired by John Linnell's memories of watching ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangface}}'' (see below under Western Animation) as a kid. Fangface never actually used his fang to open up a can of tomato juice, but he did once open a can of red paint (in the episode "The Invisible Menace Mix-Up").
