* ''VideoGame/HalfLife2: Deathmatch''. You have a gravity gun that can launch heavy objects at lethal velocity. Most of the maps have toilets that can be picked up with this gravity gun. Needless to say, this is an iconic combat technique, so much so that not only is the kill icon for thrown objects a flying toilet, it's also in the title screen for the game. There's also an achievement in the standard game for killing an enemy with a toilet. It's aptly named "Flushed".

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series:
** In ''VideoGame/Fallout2'' one sidequest involves a cave under a toilet in Modoc. It is blocked by rocks that can be cleared with explosives, but that causes methane to explode.

If your party is wounded by the explosion, they may attack you.
** ''VideoGame/Fallout3''. There are numerous traps in the game, but one the most sinister takes the form of a toilet rigged to explode whenever somebody uses it, which in your case is drink from it. Some toilets also have mines placed in the bowls or tanks.

This leads to Professor Farnsworth installing an empathy chip in Bender's head, which leads to Bender feeling sorry for Nibbler, taking himself apart and flushing ''himself'' down the toilet to look for him. Both are subversions, as they survive, but it leads to a meeting with the sewer mutants, and then Leela being left as a VirginSacrifice for a monster called El Chupanibre (ItMakesSenseInContext, honest) which is defeated by being flushed down a ''giant'' toilet.

* The first episode of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' has Panty getting sucked into a toilet by the MonsterOfTheWeek.

** Second time in Watchmen. After Rorschach's rescue from prison, he corners a thug in the men's room while Night Owl and Silk Spectre wait. "Need to visit men's room." You see the thug hiding by the toilet as Rorschach goes in and can see brief images of him while the door swings back and forth.

* In ''Film/{{Critters}}'', one of the Krites attempts to escape the bounty hunters by trying to squeeze itself down the hole in the bottom of the toilet.
