| Buzzsaw Jaw | comment |
A Subtrope of Big Eater and Extreme Omnivore in which a character (sometimes more) eats a massive portion of food, sometimes much bigger than they are, really fast. Some cartoons even give the act a sound effect like that of a power saw or woodchipper. In animated works, termites/beavers and piranhas are almost always depicted as buzzing their way through any amount of (respectively) wood or large prey in a matter of seconds. Reducing them to piles of sawdust or tiny bits of flesh. Often used by the Horde of Alien Locusts, if smaller than human size, to horrifying effect, leaving only bones in their wake. This trope may be justified by Too Hungry to Be Polite. Compare Typewriter Eating. Sub-Trope of Metaphoric Metamorphosis. |

Tom and Jerry: In two of Chuck Jones' shorts, Jerry befriended a tiny dog that does this often to Tom before hammering the hapless cat into the ground. In the MGM era, Tom turns the tables by taking advantage of this dog ability. Spike is being held back by a leash, so Tom uses his fruitlessly gnashing jaws to carve a log into a bat. |

Coneheads: The titular Conheads all make use of this trope when "consuming mass quantities". The daughter, for example, impresses a would-be boyfriend by eating an entire foot-long Subway sandwich in about three seconds. | |

The Fairly Oddparents: In "The Big Superhero Wish!", Chester's superhero persona, Matter Muncher Lad, can turn his braces into buzzsaws and drillers capable of making short work of hard materials —like soil, concrete, and even metal— at high speeds. This is useful for creating tunnels for sneaking into the villains' bases. | |

Family Ties: This became a running gag when Meredith Baxter 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. | |

The Langoliers: The titular Clock Roaches have huge mouths that can tear through everything in as much time as it takes to read this sentence. The Film of the Book takes this one step further by giving them three rows of alternately rotating metallic teeth, making them look like a cross between Pac-Man and an excavation drill. | |

Mortal Kombat: Mileena uses this to eat an opponent's head (or entire body) as a fatality attack. Reptile does so too, in one game snagging a victim's head with his long tongue and swallowing it, and in another, devouring most of the victim's body in three parts the same way. |
