* During ABC's Saturday morning lineup in {{TheEighties}}, an animated PSA often aired encouraging kids to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMfuvPFWVHc eat a good breakfast]]. The toast not only projectile-popped, it did a graceful mid-air leap to land beside the peanut butter.

* Ubi-Soft's game-you-never-heard-of ''TonicTrouble'' featured a mad scientist's [[MalevolentArchitecture "Laboratory"]] that had one section where you ride a floating platform over [[ConvectionSchmonvection vast pools of lava]] while insane robot toasters fired flaming hot slices of toast at the player. I wish I was kidding.

* In ''MDK 2'', Doctor Hawkins's primary weapon is an atomic toaster that fires irradiated slices of toast...and baguette rockets, and pumpernickel grenades...

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks: Mrs. Davis' toaster worked this way as well.

* Riff invents a souped up one of these in [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=021226 this]] ''SluggyFreelance'' strip.

* Catching the toast that pops out of a toaster composes one of the many, many microgames in the ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}''
series.

* In the ''Literature/SonicTheHedgehogInRobotniksLaboratory", Sonic himself gets ''turned into a toaster''. You heard me. Then Tails and a monkey friend turn Sonic the Toaster into the world's first Waffle Gun. Tails goes totally ActionHero on a rampage into Robotnik's laboratory, at one point disintegrating a heavy door with waffles.

* In the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' book "In Robotnik's Laboratory", Sonic himself gets ''turned into a toaster''. You heard me. Then Tails and a monkey friend turn Sonic the Toaster into the world's first Waffle Gun. Tails goes totally ActionHero on a rampage into Robotnik's laboratory, at one point disintegrating a heavy door with waffles.

* TexAvery gives it a twist on "The House Of Tomorrow". Instead of the toast, [[RussianReversal ''you'' pop up!]]

** There's even a backstory for the game in one of the game's books.

* In ''102DalmatiansPuppiesToTheRescue'', One of Cruella De Vil's mechanized toys is a robot that disguises itself as a regular, working toaster, then ''TransForms'' into a robot with the toaster as its chest. The robot then proceeds to shoot its contents at you.

* ''Series/ILoveLucy'' [[TropeMaker is perhaps the oldest TV show this is seen on]], and it became somewhat of a RunningGag. On one memorable occasion, Lucy was angry that Ricky was paying more attention to his newspaper than to her, so she loaded up the toaster, and aimed it at him. Ricky caught the toast out of the air without even looking up from the paper.
** For bonus points this was done in front of a studio audience. Which means that Desi Arnaz managed to do that in only one take.

** They could've just built a table twice as high as a normal one, like ''BeakmansWorld'' did. Then again, that wouldn't have fit [[UpToEleven the MythBusters' M.O.]] The [=MythBusters=] way also revealed that a slice of toast buttered with sufficient vigor would actually make it more likely to land butter-side-''up'', as the slight indent caused by the buttering would make the toast more stable when falling with the "dry" side down.
* Averted in the new ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}''; the Pop-Tart-esque pastries the characters are preparing don't fly from their toaster, just pop a bit and settle back. But they ''do'' draw the attention of the Centurions (also "toasters") who are hunting the characters, so...

* One of the [[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP Foundation's]] many, many attempts to neutralize [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 SCP-682]] was to expose it to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-426 SCP-426]], the toaster that makes people think they are toasters too. Like most of the attempts to neutralize 682, it ended badly. 682 went berserk, ate a huge stockpile of bread, and went on a rampage in the facility launching toast at personnel with deadly effect. Curiously, the D-personnel who were fed the toast produced by 682 claimed the toast was delicious and that it was the best toast they ever ate.

* Ya know what they say: [[VideoGame/HotelMario all toastas toast TOAST!]]
** Technically, they toast bread. If it's already toast, you don't need to toast it ''again''. (Sort of like a hot-water heater.)
