* There are several awful chefs in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Lunch Lady Doris routinely serves truly abominable food to the students at Springfield Elementary. It's hard to tell whether she's such an awful cook because of apathy, malice, lack of talent, budget cuts from the school forcing her to buy bad ingredients, or an evil combination of all of these. Some examples of her culinary failures:
*** From season four's "I Love Lisa," Lunch Lady Doris serves beef hearts to the kids (it's Valentine's Day)... after the delivery guy reluctantly dumps them on the dirty floor. If you listen closely, one of them is still beating.
*** From "Treehouse of Horror V"'s story, "Nightmare Cafeteria" ([[spoiler:in which the school decides to solve its delinquent children problem and its school lunch issues by cooking the students]]): "Thanks to the latest round of budget cuts, we're down to using Grade F meat." (Ingredients: Mostly Circus Animals, Some Filler)
*** From season seven's "Lisa the Vegetarian," it's revealed that Lunch Lady Doris doesn't cater to vegetarians (except for giving them a plain bun and deadpanning, "Yum. It's rich in bunly goodness.") and that the meatloaf she makes isn't made of meat.
*** She has also been known to use shredded newspapers and gym mats.
** Homer himself cannot cook, feeding into his general ineptitude:
*** When he was attempting to cook breakfast for Mr. Burns, everything he tried to make caught on fire ([[EpicFail including combining corn flakes and milk]]).
*** On the season four episode "Marge in Chains" (where Marge is put in jail for 30 days after accidentally shoplifting bourbon due to being stressed out from her family being sick), Marge flashbacked to the last time Homer tried to cook for the family. He served fish that weren't quite dead--and the lobsters attacked him.
** Marge herself is implied to be kind of an uninspired chef ("''Eight'' spices? Some of those have to be doubles! 'Ore-gahno'? What the hell?"), but as her family just shovels it down anyways, there are not complaints. There's also a mention of her making Bart [[CordonBleughChef butterscotch chicken]] (which, oddly enough, [[http://www.101cookingrecipes.com/chicken-cooking-recipes/butterscotch-chicken.php people have actually made]]) on the season eight episode "A Milhouse Divided."
** Mr. Burns seems to be rather bad at it, judging by the expression on Smithers' face when he tastes a cake that Burns baked in the episode "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield". "I pickled the figs myself."
** Luann Van Houten is heavily implied to be a bad cook in "A Milhouse Divided." When Luann mentions the time some high school punks egged her husband's Bonneville, Kirk (the husband) snarks that the punks should have hurled some bacon so he could have a decent breakfast for once. Also, Kirk mentions that he hasn't eaten this good (or that noisily, according to Luann) since he was in the Army. [[PlayedForDrama It's from these two instances that gave the audience (and the characters) an early clue that the Van Houtens' marriage is on the rocks]].
** The Springfield prison chefs are known to be horrible, even by prison standards. In the episode "The Seven-Beer Snitch", the prisoners were fed "horse meat... with traces of jockey meat". Cue camera to a box of "Churchill Downs Mystery Meat".
** Nelson's mom once sent her son to school with a ''drywall'' sandwich for lunch.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Bender, being a robot, has no sense of taste and a limited knowledge of organic biology. As a result, he has trouble understanding why humans dislike food that ''only'' contains 90% of a lethal dose of table salt. He even ended up accidentally killing his [[TheObiWan Obi-Wan Kenobi]]-esque culinary teacher with a dish that made his stomach implode, though his mentor at least declared it "acceptable" before dying. He also once made drinks that melted through the floor when spilled. The episode "A Leela of Her Own" also featured aliens called Cygnoids, whose bizarre physiology and foreign culture led to many problems, including "wine" made from crushed rats.
-->'''Leela:''' Oh, God! It's horrible.\\
'''Fry:''' It's the saltiest food I ever ate, and one time I ate a heaping bowl of salt!\\
'''Amy:''' Bender, is this salt water?\\
'''Bender:''' It's salt with water in it, if that's what you mean.\\
'''Fry:''' My vision's fading... I think I'm gonna die.\\
'''Bender:''' There was nothing wrong with that food. The salt level was only ninety percent of a lethal dose.\\
'''Zoidberg:''' Uh-oh. I shouldn't have had seconds.
* Two examples from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Granma Stuffems is a very extreme example. The food is literally alive and acts as her helpers. And also that giant sandwich creature Slamwitch is one meal that could probably make a meal out of you.
** Lizzie, #1's [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend girlfriend]], is also pretty bad. When "Nigie" is sick, she makes him soup that he later uses as an explosive weapon. When he goes on a retreat in Jamaica, she follows with a pie she baked for him. One bite of the pie knocks the pilot unconscious. And then the replacement pilot.
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' often jokes about the lethality of cafeteria food at The Skool, including missing livers if the kids are lucky.
* Grandpa Max from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. While his cooking may not strictly be lethal, it's generally... rather strange and somewhat unappetizing. This is a RunningGag for the series. At one point, Max pulls a grubworm out from under a log at Yellowstone and eats it, much to the disgust of his grandchildren.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{X-Men Evolution}}'''s Kitty Pryde is an example of this early on (her muffins either bounce off the walls or leave dents in the floor; poor Kurt), but gets a little better with constant practice as the series progresses.
* Jon Arbuckle, in ''WesternAnimation/{{Garfield and Friends}}'', is frequently portrayed as a Lethal Chef; his "new recipes" invariably end up as something that looks like it belongs in a low budget horror movie, although he is also usually capable of making normal food when he's not trying to get creative. However, sometimes he even fails at that. In one episode, Jon attempts to cook breakfast. With the RuleOfThree fully in effect, the first two food items he makes, which require actual contact with flame, catch fire. Jon then gives up and decides to have some cereal. When he pours milk on his cereal, it promptly catches fire.
* A few examples from ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'':
** Squidward seems to be something of a gourmet (albeit one with an affinity for canned bread and marzipan), and, in at least one episode, is seen eating what has all indication of an elaborate and tasty dish prepared by himself. However, when asked to sub as cook at the Krusty Krab, all he manages to do is burn everything to a crisp, suggesting he's at least a lethal ''fry-chef''.
-->'''Customer 1:''' [[EpicFail "He burnt my shake!"]]
-->'''Customer 2:''' My sandwich tastes like a fried boot!
-->'''Customer 3:''' My sandwich ''is'' a fried boot!
** Likewise, the main reason Plankton is always trying to steal the Krabby Patty formula is because his own cooking is highly unappetizing. One episode had Karen (Plankton's computer wife) paying a guy to eat at the Chum Bucket (Plankton's restaurant). He gave her her money back because ''he had to get his stomach pumped three times''. It's ''that bad''.
** Mr. Krabs was also shown making a terrible dinner once, which came to life and tried to eat him and some customers ("Squilliam Returns"). In the same episode we learn that he only cleaned the bathrooms on the S.S. Gourmet -- but that he was the head chef on the S.S Diarrhea.
* Both of the girls on ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' are lethal chefs, but whereas Starfire might be a good cook [[AlienLunch by Tamaranean standards]], Raven is just plain terrible. It does not cheer her up at all when the alien on the team is the only one who enjoys her pancakes. The boys don't fare much better. Beast Boy is a strict vegetarian whose dishes are 90% tofu, while Cyborg is an avid carnivore. Their fridge has a [[ItCameFromTheFridge strange, blue, living substance]] in it (that apparently tastes quite nice).
* Heffer Wolf on ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' is a variation: while the meal he cooks for himself and Rocko in one episode tastes decent enough, it looks disgusting, is made from thoroughly unappetizing ingredients, and actually tries to crawl away from his plate at one point.
--> '''Rocko:''' Heff! This is bonza! What's in it?
--> '''Heffer:''' Well, let's see, there's...pickled banana shavings, gym socks, canned haggis, beetle bladders, real processed head cheese, saltpeter, reconstituted corn sweat, the finest barley and hops...*stops food from moving*...Hmm, now where was I? Potash, sulfur, monosodium glutamate, and vegetable cartilage as a binding agent!
** This dish should by all rights be volatile, as it contains the ingredients for ''gunpowder''.
* In the one time that ''{{Chowder}}'' decided to make a dish ''without'' the assistance of master chef Mung Daal, he accidentally dumped a whole bottle of poison in it, and then unknowingly tried to sell it on the streets. It even managed to burp out the warning "You... will... ''die!''" when Mung was almost forced to taste-test it.
* Dave from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dave the Barbarian}}'' is actually considered to be a good cook, however he has an episode where Dave lived out his dream of running a bistro, the term "Lethal Chef" got taken to a new level when he used a cursed cookbook called "The Cuisinum Mysterium Cookbook" to help him -- the recipes are cursed (the food comes alive and takes on a life of its own) and later on while making "Armageddon Souflé" the souflé comes to life and becomes a rampaging monster dessert.
* WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'s grandmother probably wouldn't be such a bad cook if she weren't distracted by the other things she tries to do at the same time. (Buster Baxter gobbles her cookies right down, though.)
* Timmy's mother from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. That being said, her food generally tastes better than it looks. Some examples of her cooking:
** It once ''defied the laws of physics'' and collapsed into a pink mess. ''In a world where the concept of color did not exist''.
** She sets a bowl on fire while pouring milk in it.
* ''{{Catscratch}}'' has Gordon (being Scottish and all) but Waffle managed to do worse in the episode where he was asked to make the soup and used the wrong book- instead of using the recipe book he used the book of the dead and zombies rose from their graves because of this.
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' has Pops, the owner of a local diner who uses all sorts of strange things in his dishes, including possums and bald eagles. When Johnny runs in desperate for hair gel because Mr. Kevin's triple-strength hair tonic has been discontinued and is nowhere to be found in town, Pops responds with a cheerful: "Sure! Mr. Kevin's is the main ingredient in my Five-Alarm Chili!"
* ''[[RickySprocketShowbizBoy Ricky Sprocket]]'' has Ricky's mom.
* A slight twist was done in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin''. Everybody hated Grubby the Octopede's food, but that was because he always used tree root as a main ingredient: A favored taste for Octopedes but disliked by everybody else. His root stew in particular was also literally lethal at times, in that it made a great form of ammunition which quickly became a standard weapon for the heroes. Subverted once, however, in an episode where it turned out that root ''beer'' is the one recipe where roots are actually tasty to non-Octopedes.
* A running gag in ''TheWeekenders'' is Tino's mother "experimenting" with healthy foods...with disastrous results. Tino often tries to avoid getting a parental lecture by commenting on the food instead with comments questioning the ingredients and sometimes even implying that the food is alive.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' has Gretchen talking about Tomato Surprise ([[TomatoSurprise no relation]]). She later uses the Tomato Surprise to destroy the hinges and the lock on a door so she and the rest of the gang can free TJ.
-->'''Gretchen:''' The tomato surprise isn't without it's useful properties.\\
'''TJ:''' You mean this stuff is safe to eat?\\
'''Gretchen:''' No. I mean if you let it age, it can burn a hole through a concrete floor.\\
'''Vince:''' ''(inserts spoon into Tomato Surprise and it dissolves)'' It doesn't have too far to go.
* Subverted in the animated version of ''TheTick''. The Breadmaster's baked goods (or as Tick puts it, "Baked Bads!") are ''intended'' to be dangerous (bread bombs that demolish buildings by expanding to enormous size, gingerbread men that rob banks,) although when Tick samples the first bread bomb, he comments, "This is actually quite good!"
* In ''TheReplacements'', about the only thing that omnicompetent superspy Agent K can't do is cook; in one episode her husband builds an indestructible house for the family's pet mule out of K's breakfast bars.
* A ''MickeyMouseWorks'' short, ''Mickey Tries to Cook'', has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Mickey Mouse trying to cook]] [[OneNoteCook something other than sandwiches]], and ending up causing an explosion when he doesn't realize his fan is flipping the pages of his cook book when he isn't looking.
-->'''Book:''' Cut Carrots\\
''(Mickey cuts some carrots)''\\
'''Book:''' Whole Carrots\\
''(Mickey takes the cut carrots and glues them back together)''
* While not a lethal chef per se, [[JohnnyTest Johnny Test's]] father loves to cook meatloaf and though he loves the resulting meals, it's next to indigestible for anyone else. His attempts to bake healthy cookies taste like dirt according to Johnny. His dad forces him to taste dirt for a better comparison, forcing him to admit he stands corrected - dirt tastes better.
* In ''GIJoe'', Heavy Duty takes this to another level; he likes to use ''grenades'' to barbecue. This is an intentional contrast to his cousin, world class chef and gourmet Roadblock.
* Pleakley in ''{{Lilo and Stitch the Series}}''. He's pleased by the fact that dog food makes its own gravy.
* That frog cook with the handlebar moustache from the old British {{Nickelodeon}} claymation shorts. He makes probably worse food then the Swedish Chef, though he seems to do all right with sea food.
* There are several examples in ''TotalDramaIsland'':
** Chef Hatchet sometimes make terrible food deliberately, as part of a challenge, but his everyday cooking is not much better. That said, when he knows that good cooking will lead to camper pain (such as feeding the contestants a full thanksgiving dinner after a ten mile run as a prelude to a "who can stay awake the longest" competition), he can pull off some pretty fine dishes out of pure malice.
** In the "Who Can You Trust?" episode, two contestants have to prepare blowfish to feed to a teammate. While Bridgette makes a perfectly edible meal (even presented as sushi rolls), Lindsay made a glob which sent Trent to the infirmary. He survived [[MadeOfIron (don't ask us how).]]
** One of the competitions in ''RevengeOfTheIsland'' involved the contestants finding food in the radiated island and cooking it. All four dishes were repulsive in different ways, and only one was edible in the end. During the preparation portion of the contest, Zoey's salad actively tried to kill her.
* The Peculiar Purple Pieman from Porcupine Peak from the 1980s ''StrawberryShortcake''. When on a cooking show, his own oven groaned at the thought of baking his cookies, and one taste of his entry had the judge calling for a doctor, an ambulance, and the marines. Fortunately, [[SupremeChef Strawberry's]] cooking was the antidote.
* From ''CareBears'':
** Mr. Beastly once tried to make cookies by following the instructions on Grams Bear's cooking show. Despite making an utter mockery of the recipe, the lone cookie he manages to make comes out of the oven perfectly fine. ''[[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever And fifty feet tall.]]'' The next time we see him, his monster cookie is chasing him across the landscape. Of course, we never learn if the cookie is actually ''edible'' or not, but it's probably safe to say that only Franchise/{{Godzilla}} could answer that question.
** An evil pieman named ''Sour Sam'' created some apple pies that make whomever eats one become grumpier than even GrumpyBear... [[spoiler: apparently, Tenderheart was one of the victims. but if it weren't for Grams' [[SupremeChef Happy Apple Pies]]..... ]]
* June of ''KaBlam'' is such a terrible cook that she had to be kicked out of her scouting troop because of this.
* BugsBunny tends to do this on purpose. "Wild Turkey Surprise" consisted of a small powder keg and two sticks of dynamite, arranged and dressed up to look kinda like a turkey. The surprise? He lights the fuses. Why such a delicacy? He was feeding a Tasmanian Devil—that would otherwise have had Bugs for lunch.
* From ''KimPossible'':
** Kim herself. She can do anything...except cook. Cooking is one of the few skills where Ron excels over Kim.
** Also the lunch ladies in the school cafeteria.
--->'''Ron''': Behold, the cafeteria, where I am told you can get a hot nourishing meal. I haven't yet, but your mileage may vary.
* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' has Morgana Mckawber as an example of the second type. Having come straight from MonsterMash land, most of her dishes look like they came straight from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', looking quite unpleasant and almost always [[{{Squick}} still moving]]. Oddly however, in-universe, the only one who ever has any problem with this is Darkwing himself.
* Peter Griffin from ''FamilyGuy'' is a ''literal'' version of this trope: In an episode where he starts his own restaurant, it was revealed that the last time he made food, he baked muffins that [[YourHeadAsplode blew up the heads]] of people who ate it, which was also implied to have shut down his business.
* The lunch lady at Stanley and Mary-Jane's school in ''StainesDownDrains''. She's called Typhoid Mary for a reason.
* A few examples from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, being kids, clearly aren't up to the task of cooking just yet. Apple Bloom's attempt at making cupcakes in "Call of the Cutie" produces oddly shaped, half-burned lumps that Pinkie Pie says "look much better than the last batch" and a big mess in the kitchen. In "Sisterhooves Social", Sweetie Belle tries to make Rarity breakfast in bed and manages to completely carbonize everything, including the ''juice'' and a bowl of what Rarity guesses to be applesauce. "Nope, [[EpicFail toast]]!"
** In "Applebuck Season", Applejack becomes one after working so hard at the farm (possibly overnight) that she's delirious and mishears every ingredient Pinkie Pie reads off to her. They end up making "muffins" out of potato chips, soda, lemon juice, and worms. Oddly, they somehow still come out looking (and apparently tasting) like muffins, and nobody notices until it makes them all sick, including Pinkie Pie, who had no problem eating the above mentioned cupcakes made by Apple Bloom. [[ExtremeOmnivore Spike loved them, though.]] It's also stated that she's normally a very good baker.
* [[TheProudFamily Oscar Proud]] is constantly shown to be this in regards to his food product "Proud Snacks", resulting in the person ingesting it either choking, getting cramps, or simply just falling extremely sick. In fact, of all the people on the show who've had his snacks, only ''one'' is explicitly shown to enjoy his snacks, a kid who is WiseBeyondHisYears. How Oscar continues to run his business despite it clearly being unliked by virtually every single person in America is unknown.
* Jacob from ''{{WesternAnimation/Motorcity}}''. Chuck still eats his mayonnaise muffins, even if he can't stand them.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', the Professor is an okay cook, ''except'' when he tries to cook chili. A flashback in the episode where he tries to do so for a chili cookoff reveals that the last year's attempt caused a disaster, and the current attempt doesn't seem any more promising. [[spoiler: After adding Chemical X to it, it ''tastes'' good, but still causes a disaster, in the form of a methane monster.]]
* In the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' animated special ''It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown'', Peppermint Patty tries to teach Marcie how to make Easter eggs, but Marcie can't get a handle on how to prepare the eggs. First she fries them. Next she tries cooking them on a waffle iron, then a toaster, and then putting them in the oven. Finally, with help from Patty, she boils them... but cracks them open first, resulting in "egg soup".

** Lunch Lady Doris routinely serves truly abominable food to the students at Springfield Elementary. It's hard to tell whether she's such an awful cook because of apathy, malice, lack of talent, budget cuts from the school forcing her to buy bad ingredients, or an evil combination of all of these. Some examples of her culinary failures:
*** From season four's "I Love Lisa," Lunch Lady Doris serves beef hearts to the kids (it's Valentine's Day)... after the delivery guy reluctantly dumps them on the dirty floor. If you listen closely, one of them is still beating.
*** From "Treehouse of Horror V"'s story, "Nightmare Cafeteria" ([[spoiler:in which the school decides to solve its delinquent children problem and its school lunch issues by cooking the students]]): "Thanks to the latest round of budget cuts, we're down to using Grade F meat." (Ingredients: Mostly Circus Animals, Some Filler)
*** From season seven's "Lisa the Vegetarian," it's revealed that Lunch Lady Doris doesn't cater to vegetarians (except for giving them a plain bun and deadpanning, "Yum. It's rich in bunly goodness.") and that the meatloaf she makes isn't made of meat.
*** She has also been known to use shredded newspapers and gym mats.
** Homer himself cannot cook, feeding into his general ineptitude:
*** When he was attempting to cook breakfast for Mr. Burns, everything he tried to make caught on fire ([[EpicFail including combining corn flakes and milk]]).
*** On the season four episode "Marge in Chains" (where Marge is put in jail for 30 days after accidentally shoplifting bourbon due to being stressed out from her family being sick), Marge flashbacked to the last time Homer tried to cook for the family. He served fish that weren't quite dead--and the lobsters attacked him.
** Marge herself is implied to be kind of an uninspired chef ("''Eight'' spices? Some of those have to be doubles! 'Ore-gahno'? What the hell?"), but as her family just shovels it down anyways, there are not complaints. There's also a mention of her making Bart [[CordonBleughChef butterscotch chicken]] (which, oddly enough, [[http://www.101cookingrecipes.com/chicken-cooking-recipes/butterscotch-chicken.php people have actually made]]) on the season eight episode "A Milhouse Divided."
** Mr. Burns seems to be rather bad at it, judging by the expression on Smithers' face when he tastes a cake that Burns baked in the episode "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield". "I pickled the figs myself."
** Luann Van Houten is heavily implied to be a bad cook in "A Milhouse Divided." When Luann mentions the time some high school punks egged her husband's Bonneville, Kirk (the husband) snarks that the punks should have hurled some bacon so he could have a decent breakfast for once. Also, Kirk mentions that he hasn't eaten this good (or that noisily, according to Luann) since he was in the Army. [[PlayedForDrama It's from these two instances that gave the audience (and the characters) an early clue that the Van Houtens' marriage is on the rocks]].
** The Springfield prison chefs are known to be horrible, even by prison standards. In the episode "The Seven-Beer Snitch", the prisoners were fed "horse meat... with traces of jockey meat". Cue camera to a box of "Churchill Downs Mystery Meat".
** Nelson's mom once sent her son to school with a ''drywall'' sandwich for lunch.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Bender, being a robot, has no sense of taste and a limited knowledge of organic biology. As a result, he has trouble understanding why humans dislike food that ''only'' contains 90% of a lethal dose of table salt. He even ended up accidentally killing his [[TheObiWan Obi-Wan Kenobi]]-esque culinary teacher with a dish that made his stomach implode, though his mentor at least declared it "acceptable" before dying. He also once made drinks that melted through the floor when spilled. The episode "A Leela of Her Own" also featured aliens called Cygnoids, whose bizarre physiology and foreign culture led to many problems, including "wine" made from crushed rats.
-->'''Leela:''' Oh, God! It's horrible.\\
'''Fry:''' It's the saltiest food I ever ate, and one time I ate a heaping bowl of salt!\\
'''Amy:''' Bender, is this salt water?\\
'''Bender:''' It's salt with water in it, if that's what you mean.\\
'''Fry:''' My vision's fading... I think I'm gonna die.\\
'''Bender:''' There was nothing wrong with that food. The salt level was only ninety percent of a lethal dose.\\
'''Zoidberg:''' Uh-oh. I shouldn't have had seconds.
* Two examples from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Granma Stuffems is a very extreme example. The food is literally alive and acts as her helpers. And also that giant sandwich creature Slamwitch is one meal that could probably make a meal out of you.
** Lizzie, #1's [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend girlfriend]], is also pretty bad. When "Nigie" is sick, she makes him soup that he later uses as an explosive weapon. When he goes on a retreat in Jamaica, she follows with a pie she baked for him. One bite of the pie knocks the pilot unconscious. And then the replacement pilot.
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' often jokes about the lethality of cafeteria food at The Skool, including missing livers if the kids are lucky.
* Grandpa Max from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. While his cooking may not strictly be lethal, it's generally... rather strange and somewhat unappetizing. This is a RunningGag for the series. At one point, Max pulls a grubworm out from under a log at Yellowstone and eats it, much to the disgust of his grandchildren.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{X-Men Evolution}}'''s Kitty Pryde is an example of this early on (her muffins either bounce off the walls or leave dents in the floor; poor Kurt), but gets a little better with constant practice as the series progresses.
* Jon Arbuckle, in ''WesternAnimation/{{Garfield and Friends}}'', is frequently portrayed as a Lethal Chef; his "new recipes" invariably end up as something that looks like it belongs in a low budget horror movie, although he is also usually capable of making normal food when he's not trying to get creative. However, sometimes he even fails at that. In one episode, Jon attempts to cook breakfast. With the RuleOfThree fully in effect, the first two food items he makes, which require actual contact with flame, catch fire. Jon then gives up and decides to have some cereal. When he pours milk on his cereal, it promptly catches fire.
* A few examples from ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'':
** Squidward seems to be something of a gourmet (albeit one with an affinity for canned bread and marzipan), and, in at least one episode, is seen eating what has all indication of an elaborate and tasty dish prepared by himself. However, when asked to sub as cook at the Krusty Krab, all he manages to do is burn everything to a crisp, suggesting he's at least a lethal ''fry-chef''.
-->'''Customer 1:''' [[EpicFail "He burnt my shake!"]]
-->'''Customer 2:''' My sandwich tastes like a fried boot!
-->'''Customer 3:''' My sandwich ''is'' a fried boot!
** Likewise, the main reason Plankton is always trying to steal the Krabby Patty formula is because his own cooking is highly unappetizing. One episode had Karen (Plankton's computer wife) paying a guy to eat at the Chum Bucket (Plankton's restaurant). He gave her her money back because ''he had to get his stomach pumped three times''. It's ''that bad''.
** Mr. Krabs was also shown making a terrible dinner once, which came to life and tried to eat him and some customers ("Squilliam Returns"). In the same episode we learn that he only cleaned the bathrooms on the S.S. Gourmet -- but that he was the head chef on the S.S Diarrhea.
* Both of the girls on ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' are lethal chefs, but whereas Starfire might be a good cook [[AlienLunch by Tamaranean standards]], Raven is just plain terrible. It does not cheer her up at all when the alien on the team is the only one who enjoys her pancakes. The boys don't fare much better. Beast Boy is a strict vegetarian whose dishes are 90% tofu, while Cyborg is an avid carnivore. Their fridge has a [[ItCameFromTheFridge strange, blue, living substance]] in it (that apparently tastes quite nice).
* Heffer Wolf on ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' is a variation: while the meal he cooks for himself and Rocko in one episode tastes decent enough, it looks disgusting, is made from thoroughly unappetizing ingredients, and actually tries to crawl away from his plate at one point.
--> '''Rocko:''' Heff! This is bonza! What's in it?
--> '''Heffer:''' Well, let's see, there's...pickled banana shavings, gym socks, canned haggis, beetle bladders, real processed head cheese, saltpeter, reconstituted corn sweat, the finest barley and hops...*stops food from moving*...Hmm, now where was I? Potash, sulfur, monosodium glutamate, and vegetable cartilage as a binding agent!
** This dish should by all rights be volatile, as it contains the ingredients for ''gunpowder''.
* In the one time that ''{{Chowder}}'' decided to make a dish ''without'' the assistance of master chef Mung Daal, he accidentally dumped a whole bottle of poison in it, and then unknowingly tried to sell it on the streets. It even managed to burp out the warning "You... will... ''die!''" when Mung was almost forced to taste-test it.
* Dave from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dave the Barbarian}}'' is actually considered to be a good cook, however he has an episode where Dave lived out his dream of running a bistro, the term "Lethal Chef" got taken to a new level when he used a cursed cookbook called "The Cuisinum Mysterium Cookbook" to help him -- the recipes are cursed (the food comes alive and takes on a life of its own) and later on while making "Armageddon Souflé" the souflé comes to life and becomes a rampaging monster dessert.
* WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'s grandmother probably wouldn't be such a bad cook if she weren't distracted by the other things she tries to do at the same time. (Buster Baxter gobbles her cookies right down, though.)
* Timmy's mother from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. That being said, her food generally tastes better than it looks. Some examples of her cooking:
** It once ''defied the laws of physics'' and collapsed into a pink mess. ''In a world where the concept of color did not exist''.
** She sets a bowl on fire while pouring milk in it.
* ''{{Catscratch}}'' has Gordon (being Scottish and all) but Waffle managed to do worse in the episode where he was asked to make the soup and used the wrong book- instead of using the recipe book he used the book of the dead and zombies rose from their graves because of this.
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' has Pops, the owner of a local diner who uses all sorts of strange things in his dishes, including possums and bald eagles. When Johnny runs in desperate for hair gel because Mr. Kevin's triple-strength hair tonic has been discontinued and is nowhere to be found in town, Pops responds with a cheerful: "Sure! Mr. Kevin's is the main ingredient in my Five-Alarm Chili!"
* ''[[RickySprocketShowbizBoy Ricky Sprocket]]'' has Ricky's mom.
* A slight twist was done in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin''. Everybody hated Grubby the Octopede's food, but that was because he always used tree root as a main ingredient: A favored taste for Octopedes but disliked by everybody else. His root stew in particular was also literally lethal at times, in that it made a great form of ammunition which quickly became a standard weapon for the heroes. Subverted once, however, in an episode where it turned out that root ''beer'' is the one recipe where roots are actually tasty to non-Octopedes.

'''TJ:''' You mean this stuff is safe to eat?\\
'''Gretchen:''' No. I mean if you let it age, it can burn a hole through a concrete floor.\\
'''Vince:''' ''(inserts spoon into Tomato Surprise and it dissolves)'' It doesn't have too far to go.
* Subverted in the animated version of ''TheTick''. The Breadmaster's baked goods (or as Tick puts it, "Baked Bads!") are ''intended'' to be dangerous (bread bombs that demolish buildings by expanding to enormous size, gingerbread men that rob banks,) although when Tick samples the first bread bomb, he comments, "This is actually quite good!"
* In ''TheReplacements'', about the only thing that omnicompetent superspy Agent K can't do is cook; in one episode her husband builds an indestructible house for the family's pet mule out of K's breakfast bars.
* A ''MickeyMouseWorks'' short, ''Mickey Tries to Cook'', has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Mickey Mouse trying to cook]] [[OneNoteCook something other than sandwiches]], and ending up causing an explosion when he doesn't realize his fan is flipping the pages of his cook book when he isn't looking.
-->'''Book:''' Cut Carrots\\
''(Mickey cuts some carrots)''\\
'''Book:''' Whole Carrots\\
''(Mickey takes the cut carrots and glues them back together)''
* While not a lethal chef per se, [[JohnnyTest Johnny Test's]] father loves to cook meatloaf and though he loves the resulting meals, it's next to indigestible for anyone else. His attempts to bake healthy cookies taste like dirt according to Johnny. His dad forces him to taste dirt for a better comparison, forcing him to admit he stands corrected - dirt tastes better.
