8* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'', Gru's detailing of [[TestosteronePoisoning El Macho]]'s life before his supposed death shows him pouring alcohol and snake venom into a shot glass, then he eats the whole glass. Later when El Macho demonstrates the effects of the [[PsychoSerum PX-41]] on Gru's minion Kevin, the latter eats a mechanical swinging ax, a bomb, and a police cruiser.
9* Lou, the goanna in ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' is apparently very pleased to be eating Zac and cheerfully gulps down a snail and plants as he chases after the poor guy.
10* The Boov from ''WesternAnimation/Home2015'' are willing to eat a lot of strange things, including footballs, motor oil, and {{paintings}}. Creator/VincentVanGogh's "Art/TheStarryNight" nearly ends up being lunch.
11* Remy the rat's relatives in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', but they ''are'' rats.
12-->'''Remy:''' What...are you eating?!\
13'''Emile:''' I don't really know. I think it was some sort of wrapper once.
14* An interesting example is Dopey in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', in that he doesn't intentionally or even knowingly eat anything that he isn't supposed to; it just always happens to accidentally make its way down his throat.
15** First came a bar of soap, which in an attempt to [[SlipperySoap keep a steady grip on it,]] Dopey ended up accidentally swallowing, resulting in him continuously [[HiccupHijinks hiccuping swarms of bubbles.]] Even then, he doesn't even notice until a few more hiccups in; only then does he do a [[IAteWhat double take]] by feeling the soap inside him before comically hiccuping nonstop for the rest of the scene.
16** Second, only in a DeletedScene, was Dopey swallowing a spoon, also without realizing it. The aforementioned hiccups return, and a [[LiteralAssKicking kick in the rear from Happy]] eventually results in him spitting out both the spoon and the soap he had eaten earlier.
17* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' ([[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant the animated one from the 1980's]]) has an interesting example in Unicron, a massive robot the size and approximate shape of a large planet, that eats, well, [[ApocalypseHow planets]]! He comes into this category because planets typically tend to have lots of things on them, which he gobbles up along with the rocks themselves.
18* ''WesternAnimation/MadMonsterParty'' at one point has the Monster eat an entire wineglass. The prequel ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'' also has a scene where the werewolf Ron Chandley licks his plate clean before proceeding to devour the plate itself.

21* ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloInHollywood'': While trying to shave a customer, Abercrombie ends up eating some of the shaving cream. By the look on his face, he actually enjoys the taste.
22* ''Film/AxeMurderingWithHackley'': The special needs guy at [=RKS=], Asparagus, is seen eating paper out of a photo copier at one point in the movie. Later, he claims to have eaten a whole bunch of hamsters, saving one for El Matador. The hamster things makes Asparagus the EmployeeOfTheMonth.
23* In ''Film/BlackCatWhiteCat'' a pig slowly eats a whole car in several short scenes spread all along the film.
24* Link from ''Film/EncinoMan'' will eat anything he can get his hands on. Some of the things he eats are actually food (salsa, butter, Hot Pockets, candy bars, etc.), and some are obviously ''not'' (dog food, bath beads, formaldehyde-preserved frogs, and so on). The one and only thing he ever ate that he reacted negatively to was the salsa, because it was hot and he drank an entire bowl of it. He got over it about ten seconds later.
25* Crossed with EatDirtCheap and MetalMuncher in ''Film/Godzilla2014'', as the Mutos consume radioactive material. Even a nuclear bomb is little more than a metallic pastry to them.
26* During the scene in ''Film/{{Help}}'' where Music/TheBeatles come on dressed as a marching band, Music/GeorgeHarrison [[FunnyBackgroundEvent takes a giant bite out of one of his cymbals.]]
27* In the live-action version of ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', the titular character is depicted eating a discarded wine bottle and a Santa plate, and at one point puts a superheated bolt in his mouth to cool it.
28* Grimpo in the Czech western parody ''Film/LemonadeJoe'' is capable of eating glass and wood, and will frequently do so.
29* ''Film/LostInAHarem'': After hypnotizing Peter and Harvey, Nimativ calls them termites. The pair end up thinking they ''are'' termites and quickly set about eating the wood in the room.
30* Creator/MarxBrothers: Harpo Marx's character(s) were frequently like this.
31* In ''Film/TheMask'', the [=titular=] artifact turns Stanley Ipkiss into a human cartoon. Thus, at the climax, he is able to neutralize a bomb by swallowing it and letting it explode inside him. The only side effects to this are comical distension as it explodes, followed by a fiery belch afterward.
32** This exact same gag was done in the pilot episode of ''[[Series/LoisAndClark Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman]]'', where Superman's debut as a superhero involved ''eating a bomb on a space shuttle''.
33** In the animated series, a villain wants to blow up Edge City with a nuclear missile. The Mask covers said missile with bread, sauce and salad, and stands on the place it would hit the ground with his mouth open. Although this time the bomb-eating [[NonFatalExplosions gets him charred and smoked]].
34-->'''Mask:''' [turning to the viewers] That's right folks. I'M GONNA EAT IT!
35* Bill Murray's character in ''Film/OsmosisJones'' contracts a lethal virus by eating a hard-boiled egg he'd dropped on the ground near the monkey cage at a zoo. He arm-wrestles the egg away from a grabby monkey, then heedlessly pops it into his mouth.
36* In ''Film/ReturnToOz'', the Nome King turns into a giant rock monster and tries to eat the Gump (which is made of a Gump's head attached to a sofa). They save the head, but he does eat the sofa. He later tries to eat Jack (who is made of sticks, though he does have a pumpkin for a head). It is likely he would have tried to eat Dorothy and the Scarecrow as well if [[spoiler: Billina had not laid an egg that fell down the Nome King's throat and killed him]].
37* In the 1934 short subject ''Roast Beef And Movies'', Curly Howard (in a rare appearance away from Series/TheThreeStooges), eats goldfish and the buttons off a friend's vest. He also claims to have eaten the metal canisters holding the film that he and his friends had made.
38* The dog in ''Film/{{Snatch}}'' eats a shoe, a rubber chew toy, and [[spoiler:an 86 karat diamond...which has actually lost a couple of karats by the time it comes out of his digestive tract]].
39* As part of its MO, ''Film/{{The Thing|1982}}'' consumes and imitates any form of life. And we DO mean ANY. Be glad Antarctica is practically devoid of life, or our heroes would have been dealing with more mutated animals than just the 'dog' they incinerated.
40* Vermin from ''Film/TimeBandits''. "He eats ''anything!''"
41* The cavemen from ''Film/TyrannosClaw'' can eat roaches and grubs without any issues. Though [[EveryoneHasStandards they still refrain in cannibalizing fellow humans]].
42* In ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'', Mr. Gloop eats a microphone.
