* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', Johnny accidentally brings a parody of ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' into the real world. While tearing up Johnny's house (literally and metaphorically), he picks up a toaster and shoots toast at the kids and Dukey, which is heralded by Johnny shouting "[[IncendiaryExponent FLAMING]] TOAST!".

* ''Videogame/CrazyMachines'' is a physics simulation where you can engineer your own HeathRobinsonMachine. Including an electric toaster and this trope.

* Several Looney Tunes shorts feature a "get a character out of bed and ready for the day" RubeGoldbergMachine that includes a toaster shooting toast straight into the character's mouth. At least one ''WesternAnimation/RalphWolfAndSamSheepdog'' uses it as an EstablishingCharacterMoment for Ralph (who is BrilliantButLazy).
* The [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Bugs Bunny]] cartoon "To Hare Is Human" shows Bugs with a toaster that loads carrots. Wile E. Coyote substitutes the carrots with hand grenades, but [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption guess what happens when the toaster goes off.]]

* In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', it's not toast but a plunger that gets lodged in the toaster during the opening cartoon.
* The toaster in ''Film/GhostbustersII'', which launched toast into the air while dancing to Jackie Wilson.

* In the ''Literature/SonicTheHedgehogInRobotniksLaboratory'', Sonic himself gets ''turned into a toaster''. You heard me.

Tails goes totally ActionHero on a rampage into Robotnik's laboratory, at one point disintegrating a heavy door with waffles.
* In the ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' book "The Test", Marco says he put a pop tart in the toaster, but it flew out and hit him in the face.

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* Lucille Ball apparently loved this trope. It also shows up on ''The Lucy Show'', when Lucy gets a job at Mr. Mooney's bank, selling new savings accounts and giving away [[BankToaster free toasters]]. To give her demonstration "pizzazz," she puts a passbook into the toaster and then launches it out in order to give it to the customer.

* ''Series/TheAvengers1960s'' episode "Return Of The Cybernauts" concluded with a [[TheTag tag]] where Steed's attempt at repairing Emma's toaster succeeds all too well.
* ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' had one scene where Phil's inability to fix appliances is brought up, including a line of something like "Just like dad 'fixed' the toaster?" just on cue for toast to launch from the offscreen kitchen into the living room where the conversation is being held. Ashley then says to "set the toaster on dark so she can meet it at school."
* A physical challenge from ''Series/{{Double Dare|1986}}'' involves launching toast out of a springloaded toaster across the stage to one's partner.
* A Projectile Toaster was worked into ''Creator/MorecambeAndWise'''s classic making-breakfast-to-the-tune-of-'The Stripper' routine.
* Toyed with in a variation in one episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}''. A bizarre device that Fred has been tinkering with is theorized by several other characters to be some kind of projectile launcher (it actually does throw axes) or maybe it just makes toast.
* This is how the ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' get their Tubby Toast.

* ''Series/TheGoodies'': Tim is pelted by toast fired from the toaster when the household appliances rebel in "Robot".
* ''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.
* In ''Series/MythBusters'' when testing the myth "Toast always lands butter side down", they built a huge rig to launch toast off the side of the building.

[[folder: Video Games ]]

The robot then proceeds to shoot its toast at you.
* Cyan's early children's game ''Spelunx'' has a minigame where you must bounce slices of bread up to a man who drops them, using a toaster. There's even a backstory for the minigame in one of the journals.
* "Crazy Machines" is a physics simulation where you can engineer your own HeathRobinsonMachine. Including an electric toaster and this trope.
* The first boss of ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' is the Octo Oven ([[BossSubtitles 425° of Pain]]), which attacks with glazing ink, ink pistons, and octopus bread.

* ''WesternAnimation/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.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Chuck, a "member" of the Revenge Society is just a plain toaster that shoots toast. Revenge (Phantom Limb) uses Chuck's expertise to disarm traps (... it shoots toast that sets off the traps).

* ''VideoGame/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.

* The first boss of ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' 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!]]
