* Spoofed in WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}. One episode has Chowder become unable to open his mouth without unleashing fire at a time when the Catering Co. has an order for a Barbershop Soufflé, which requires 4 people to sing in order to rise. When Chowder opens his mouth, the soufflé is instantly ruined.

Two variations on this trope exist: In one, the rambunctious behavior around the soufflé is quieted down with no ill effects, only to have a relatively-distant disturbance (slamming door, car backfire) collapse the soufflé after it is "safe" (the soufflé can be replaced by say, a sleeping baby). The other works much the same, except that it is the cook him- or herself who triggers the collapse.

** In one episode when the station is under Dominion control, Quark and Ziyal try to bring a soufflé to a group of prisoners. Naturally, the guard demands to investigate it, and is only made further suspicious when Quark gets nervous and invokes this trope as the reason... giving Ziyal a chance to get behind him while he's distracted and knock him out with the [[InstantSedation Off-Button Hypospray]], causing his head to fall into the soufflé and crush it. Quark briefly expresses regret for his soufflé, but gets over it since it ''was'' only meant as a decoy and therefore served its purpose.

* In a ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' episode, Piper is baking a soufflé. When Leo walks in, speaking loudly, Piper threatens to blow him up if her soufflé falls.

* [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in one ''ComicStrip/ShermansLagoon'' strip, wherein Megan managing to cook a souflee without destroying it is equivalent to CueTheFlyingPigs.

* A common thing that happens not only to Greedy's soufflés, but also his muffins, in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs''.
