History Main / JugglingDangerously

* The [[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Mickey Mouse]] comic ''Lost in Limbo'' includes a medieval jester whose juggling act got boring for the king, so he decided to spice things up by juggling weapons instead. Unfortunately, he forgot to revise the ending of the act, which involved all the items falling on his head. Hence why he is a ghost now.
* In the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, this is the shtick of the Death-Throws; a gang of criminal jugglers who primarily fight ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}. They juggle (and throw) items like blades, bombs and razor-edged rings.

* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': In "[[Recap/HTFWipeOut Wipe Out]]", [[NewJobsAsThePlotDemands Lumpy]], a SurferDude here, shows off by juggling chainsaws while surfing. [[BlackComedy This show being what it is]], [[AnArmAndALeg he gets his arms sliced off]] almost the ''second'' he loses focus.

* In ''WesternAnimation/YogiTheEasterBear,'' Ranger Smith does this in a desperate attempt to entertain a crowd. While he does it successfully, as soon as he stops juggling, he falls into a hole where he's standing that his chainsaws ended up creating.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', Stumpy tries doing this. It actually goes well until Stumpy's mom calls him on the phone after seeing him do this on live TV (to make sure her kid is safe) and [[WhatAnIdiot he picks up the phone to answer]] and forgets to catch the chainsaws.

* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' has Vauban, who will do a one-handed shower juggle as a charging if you hold down the key for his Tesla Nervos. It falls under this trope, because Tesla Nervos are ambulatory electroshock grenades, and are so dangerous that merely being within a few meters of one will result in the Tesla latching onto its new friend with homicidal enthusiasm and applying several thousand volts directly into their central nervous system (or equivalent).

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS9E1ExtremeSpotsSquirrelRecord Squirrel Record]]", this is one of the things Sandy Cheeks does in order to win a world record, which is juggling the most [[ChainsawGood chainsaws]]. However, once Sandy gets the picture and throw the chainsaws away, they land on [=SpongeBob=] and cut him into pieces. Luckily, he can [[PullingThemselvesTogether pull himself together]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Downplayed in episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E20AHorseShoeIn "A Horse Shoe-In"]], where Trixie is juggling with three of her smoke bombs. Naturally, she ends up dropping them, which results in a cloud of smoke that transition to the next scene.

While it [[http://madchadtaylor.com/videos.html has been done,]] in RealLife chainsaw juggling is unusual even for highly skilled professional jugglers who want to add the spice of danger to their act. But it's much more common in fiction -- want to take that juggling act UpToEleven? [[ChainsawGood Just add chainsaws!]]

* In a Progressive commercial, a man feels so empowered by being given the "Name Your Price" tool that he approaches a man juggling chainsaws and wants to participate. Obviously the juggler refuses, for their mutual safety.

* In WesternAnimation/YogiTheEasterBear, Ranger Smith does this in a desperate attempt to entertain a crowd. While he does it successfully, as soon as he stops juggling, he falls into a hole where he's standing that his chainsaws ended up creating.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' epsiode, "Monster Talent", Gossamer wants to sing at his school talent show, but Daffy tries to get him to do another act. When Gossamer sees three chainsaws on the coffee table, he asks Daffy if he's suggesting that he juggle them. Daffy tells him that he would never suggest such a thing... until after he's lit them on fire. This results in Bugs' house catching fire.
