Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce / Western Animation

"By the powers of naughtiness, I command this particular drop of hot sauce to be really... really... HOT!"

• One episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog had Scratch and Grounder attempt to capture the blue blur by setting up a fake chili dog stand. Sonic disguises himself as a "chili dog inspector" and critiques Grounder's chili for not being spicy enough. He "helps" Grounder by giving him a can of "Very Hot Chili" to add to the mix and then tricks Grounder into eating a hot dog covered with said chili, causing the latter to explode like a rocket. Sonic then proceeds to serve two dogs (with regular chili) for himself and Tails.

While waiting, they torment a dog by force-feeding it the bottle of "Killer Hot Sauce" on their table.

• Big City Greens: The episode "Feud Fight" has a subplot of Gramma going out to buy the hottest peppers she can find. She soon returns with "Sultan Peppers", chilis so hot that they make eyes water just by looking at them. They prove so hot that they melt a supposedly indestructible tooth filling.

• CatDog: In the episode "You're Fired", CatDog eat a jar of Peruvian Atomic Peppers whole and they start to go out of control, burning down a Mexican restaurant in the process.
• Chowder gets a whole episode based around this, considering it's a cartoon about food. The episode (aptly named "the Fire Breather") introduces the rarest and hottest peppers in the world, the Dancing Diablos. Peppers so hot that it turns your stomach into a furnace and makes you breath fire every time you open your mouth. Guess who decides to eat all of them?
  Mung Dall: Chowder! Look what you did! Now the animators have to draw all this fire!
• DuckTales (1987):
  • Scrooge's chili, in "Ducks of the West". It turns everybody who eats it (aside from Scrooge) into a Fire-Breathing Diner. Scrooge's unintentional victims then head to a nearby horse trough to cool out their mouths.

• The "Honor Thy Ed" episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy starts with the Eds having set up a taco stand selling "tacos" made of paper plates, grass, and shredded crayons. After Ed, Extreme Omnivore he is, eats several crayons thinking they are flavors, Edd humors him and takes a bite of one. He is disgusted and needs water, but the closest thing is Eddy's Brother's Armenian Secret Hot Sauce. He guzzles part of it and seems unfazed at first. Ed also consumes some. Eddy thinks the sauce didn't work and also eats some. It's at that moment the effect takes hold, however. We see a Discretion Shot from down the street as a tower of flame erupts from the stand and the Eds sticking their mouths on a sprinkler.
• Futurama: In "The Six Million Dollar Mon", Hermes spills one drop of sauce from his wife's spicy curried goat, and it eats its way through the dining-room table, the floor, two other residences underneath, and on down to Robot Hell, where it scalds the Robot Devil. Hermes himself thinks that it needs more hot sauce. This ends up saving him later on in the episode; years of his wife's overly spicy cooking somehow made his skin extremely spicy, and when Ax-Crazy robot Roberto eats a piece... he melts.
• Garfield:
  • Grandma's sausage gravy in A Garfield Christmas. It started out as Mom's normal gravy, but Grandma snuck in and added chili powder while whispering about how her gravy won first prize at the fair three years in a row while Mom's didn't even place.

  • In Garfield and Friends, we see him using this on a horse named Certain Death.

Pete, in a state of shocked fury, takes a big bite of the sandwich, turns red, runs outside and drinks his entire swimming pool.

• In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Pinkie Pie apparently loves this. She likes to put it on cupcakes. Her brand is so hot that, when Twilight Sparkle accidentally drank some, her tail and mane caught on fire and she let out the classic "train whistle" steam clouds out her ears.
  • However, not even Pinkie can handle the spiciness of liquid rainbow^* yes, literal rainbow. She turns different colors and breathes a small gout of flame before going weak on her knees and running off, presumably to get something to abate the taste. Keep in mind that this is a character that eats pastries with hot sauce. However, nowhere in the series is liquid rainbow used as a spice. If it's spicier than actual hot sauce, that's probably for the best.
• In the Pucca short "Ring Ring's Party Favours", rather than feeding it to anyone, Ring Ring attempts to sabotage Pucca's party by pouring a drop of hot sauce on the floor, which then spreads and heats up the vicinity for the partygoers, but she just ends up creating a Dance Sensation.
• Regular Show:
  • In "Weekend at Benson's", when Mordecai and Rigby try to pass off an unconscious Benson as awake, they get him involved in a spicy food contest with a guy. Benson comes to just as the guy prepares a concoction he calls "Mississippi Queen", so he has Mordecai and Rigby drink it as well. The "Mississippi Queen" is made of kimchi, pasta sauce, sashimi, chuco, soy sauce, whole clams on the shell, shrimp, mayo, and hot chili peppers poured into a huge glass and served with a little cocktail umbrella. At first, they feel nothing, but suddenly start hallucinating while the song of the same name plays and wake up the next morning in the park.^note Fridge Logic kicks in when you take into account that Mordecai is a bird, meaning that he shouldn't even be affected by capsaicin to begin with...
  • Another episode had Skips go looking for some hot wings to uphold a tradition in their family before they get married (in this case, his cousin, Quips, was tying the knot). But because of National Wing Day, all the shops are sold out, save for one in a bayou that'll only hand over their wings if said person can complete their challenge of eating some very spicy wings. So spicy that they have a wall of people who died trying to finish it. Skips has to undergo a Battle in the Center of the Mind while doing the challenge in which he literally fights the wings as he's eating them. The sauce consists of mutated ghost peppers, hot magma extract and black widow venom! The wings are literally on fire when they're served, the sauce burns right through both the plate and the table and they throw away the blue cheese dressing before the challenge begins.

This plan backfires when it turns out that the boss loves spicy food and applauds the cooking as delicious.
  • Played straight in "Thumbs Up"; To get the babies to stop sucking their thumbs, Lou has Didi make a spicy chili, but he accidentally has her put a tablespoon of cayenne pepper instead of a teaspoon that the recipe called for. When Stu tastes the chili, his face turns red and he drinks from the kitchen sink to extinguish the spiciness. Didi refuses to put the chili on the babies' thumbs and is about to throw it away, but Lou tells her it'll still make a zesty barbecue sauce.

Boimler adds a couple drops to his food and is in agony for about 30 seconds before finally passing out. Mariner spends that same 30 seconds dumping the entire bottle all over her food and then casually remarks that it has a "nice little kick".
