== [[Video Games]] ==
* Any bone-throwing skeleton in ''[[Castlevania]]'' series throws a classic cartoon bone.

Line 45:
* ''[[The Flintstones]]'': Dino has giant, dinosaur-sized femur bones to chew on.
* In one episode of Spongebob, Patrick eats some Exploding Chewing Gum. [[Your Head Asplode|Results were predictable]], right down to having a femur where his spine should be ([[Rule of Funny|if starfish had spines, that is]]).
