* During ABC's Saturday morning lineup in TheEighties, an animated PSA often aired encouraging kids to [[https://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.

* ''Series/DansUneGalaxiePresDeChezVous'' Due to Pétrolia upgrading the ship's toaster with turbine compressor springs, two toasts got launched at supersonic speeds. Bob ends up having one of the toasts embedded into his skull, missing his brain(Bob's brain is both small and able to hide itself). The other bounced all over the place, without losing momentum.

* The first boss of ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon 2}}'' is the Octo Oven [[BossSubtitles (425 degrees of Pain)]], which attacks with glazing ink, ink pistons, and octopus bread. Notable in that instead of shooting slices at you, it ejects whole loaves from its many ovens. [[TacticalSuicideBoss The loaves work as platforms, too!]]

* ''WallaceAndGromit'' seem to have specifically modified their toaster to launch the toast with incredible precision; the toast flies across the table, only to be "shot down" by a glob of jelly, landing neatly on Wallace's plate. One suspects that a considerable amount of trial and error went into setting this up.

* Infamously in ''VideoGame/HotelMario'', currently the page quote. (Technically, toasters toast ''bread''. If it's already toast, you don't need to toast it ''again''.)

* In ''Pinball/JunkYard'', collecting the Toaster and the Hair Dryer nets the player character the Toaster Gun, which he can then use to shoot Spike, the AngryGuardDog. This is required as Spike carries a crucial part needed to escape the junkyard, though the part is chosen at random.

Schlock, being Schlock, begged it off him so he could take it down to the firing range.

* In ''VideoGame/102DalmatiansPuppiesToTheRescue'', One of Cruella De Vil's mechanized toys is a robot that disguises itself as a regular, working toaster when idle, then ''TransForms'' into robot form with the toaster as its chest when you're in range.

* 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 me]], 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.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Glider}}'' games include toasters which juggle slices of ProjectileToast that must be dodged.
