* The titular sponge from ''SpongebobSquarepants'' once did this to ''sharpen a pencil.''

* In the ''TheLangoliers'', the titular ClockRoaches have huge mouths that can tear through everything in as much time as it takes to read this sentence. The FilmOfTheBook takes this one step further by giving them three rows of alternately rotating metallic teeth, making them look like a cross between VideoGame/{{Pac-Man}} and an excavation drill.

* Mileena uses this to eat an opponent's head (or entire body) as a fatality in ''MortalKombat''.

* Nibbler in ''{{Futurama}}'' as well as all other Nibblonians.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'', Scooby bites rapidly bites a log in two after Velma tells him to "make like a beaver."

* TexAvery's ''Billy Boy'' features a goat who does this throughout the cartoon. (Of course, said goat's definition of "food" is an [[ExtremeOmnivore extraordinary broad one]].)

* An [[ClassicDisneyShorts old Disney short]], ''Mickey's Trailer'', had MickeyMouse and DonaldDuck eating corn cobs like this, as if they were typewriters.
** Another Disney short, ''Donald's Cousin Gus'', has Gus Goose eating a corn cob the same way.

* The Taxxon of ''Animorphs'' have a literal BuzzsawJaw. Their mouth is a gaping hole with rows of teeth. Each row can be twisted back and forth at high-speed to create the impresion of a buzzsaw.

** Sort-of TruthInTelevision, since [[JustifiedTrpe piranha in a feeding frenzy are feared for a reason]].
* Two of Chuck Jones' ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' shorts featured Jerry befriending a tiny dog that did this often to Tom... before hammering the hapless cat into the ground!

* A number of cartoon beavers, like the one from ''TheGetAlongGang''.

* This became a running gag on ''FamilyTies'' when Meredith Baxter-Birney had to take time off for pregnancy. Her character, also pregnant, was kept offscreen, frequently demanding and buzzsawing food. They once claimed she ate a whole watermelon in a handful of seconds.

Often used by the HordeOfAlienLocusts, if smaller than human size, to horrifying effect, [[StrippedToTheBone leaving only bones in their wake]].
