Projectile Toast: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* In ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'', it's not toast but a plunger that gets lodged in the toaster during the opening cartoon.

* The toaster in ''[[Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters II]]'', which launched toast into the air while dancing to Jackie Wilson.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* ''[[I Love Lucy]]'' [[Trope Maker|is perhaps the oldest TV show this is seen on]], and it became somewhat of a [[Running Gag]]. 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.

** They could've just built a table twice as high as a normal one, like ''[[Beakman's World]]'' did.

* Averted in the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]''; 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...

* ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' episode "Return Of The Cybernauts" concluded with a [[The Tag|tag]] where Steed's attempt at repairing Emma's toaster succeeds all too well.

* ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' 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 Projectile Toaster was worked into ''[[Morecambe and Wise]]'''s classic making-breakfast-to-the-tune-of-'The Stripper' routine.

* Toyed with in a variation in one episode of ''[[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.

* Ya know what they say: [[Hotel Mario|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.)

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

* Catching the toast that pops out of a toaster composes one of the many, many microgames in the ''[[Wario Ware]]'' series.

* Launching toast at [[Invader Zim]]'s face is one of the ''least'' annoying things GIR does upon getting his mind sucked into their house's master control system.

* Snoopy proves himself Virtuoso Master of the Projectile Toast during the cooking scene from ''[[Peanuts|A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving]].''

* Twist: [[The Ren and Stimpy Show|Powdered Toast Man]] actually shot ''butter packets'' instead. (After all, he was meant to promote ''powdered'' toast.)

* The ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door|Kids Next Door]]'' have, among their improvised weapons arsenal, numbers of gatling gun-like weapons that end in toasters. They seem to launch energy, though.
