On TV anything can be made to seem to talk. This is especially common in commercials, where everything from products, to signs, food, body parts, clothes and beyond has something to say. They all want you to buy something too, even your ratty old sneakers have sold out and are working for the man. One might think that consumers would want their foodstuffs and household products not to be possessed by demons (in fact, a Sprite commercial features a family running in terror from the smiling anthropomorphic sun that bursts forth from a bottle of a Sunny Delight counterpart), but apparently advertisers don't see it that way. At its worst, it can become quite disturbing. Often combined with Animate Inanimate Object. Some specific subtypes of this are: Animate Body Parts Ghost in the Machine Let's Meet the Meat |

Pee-wee's Playhouse, in which pretty much every single object in the house could talk, including a chair, a window, a globe, a clock, a kite, food, flowers, all animals, and even the floor. His name was Floory. | |

A magazine article on DC Nation's animated Amethyst Princess Of Gem World shorts describes one of the obstacles Amethyst must overcome as "a forest of super-saccharine, talking everything". The short look in "Level 4: Random Encounter" attests that this is pretty much accurate. | |

In The Stormlight Archive the Cognitive Realm is made up of a lot of beads, each of which represent the "soul" or cognitive aspect (how an object is seen by people and how it 'sees' itself) of an object in the Physical Realm. Those with the power to Soulcast can "talk" to these to convince them to change into something else, though it's not clear whether they are actually self-aware in the sense we would understand it or if it's just how the Soulcaster conceptualizes what they are doing. | |

In the Banjo-Kazooie series, NPC characters are usually a sentient version of an inanimate object, with googly eyes. This includes (but is by no means limited to) musical notes, honeycombs, hives, oranges, jigsaw pieces, Leaky the Bucket, Cheato the Cheatbook, Loggo the Toilet (!) and even the Banjo-Kazooie cartridge. Conker's Bad Fur Day, which is essentially a Rated M for Money version of Banjo-Kazooie from the same company, continues using this trope, frequently to darkly hilarious effect. Really, anything and everything can be a living, breathing character in a Rare game. |

Hanazuki: Full of Treasures features several structures and landscape objects all over Hanazuki's moon that have faces and a capacity for speech. The Treasure Trees grown by Hanazuki also have faces, but are The Unintelligible. It takes a dark turn when the moon is slowly engulfed by an eldritch cloud of inky blackness, which is bad enough on its own, except we also get to see a pair of adorable talking mountains wheezing and on the verge of death as they beg for help. | |

Total Distortion plays this for laughs. Interacting with the environment often results in random voice clips saying what you're doing, but the objects in question aren't alive. Your Interdimensional Guitar Case says "Guitar Case!" or "Crack it open!" when opened; spinning disks in a stacking minigame shriek if they fall off, and most famously, a harmonized voice sings "Yum-Yum!" after you've eaten something. | |

Most of The Muppets are animals or vaguely-human, but as well as the Singing Food, there are the Talking Houses from The Muppet Show, the various objects from the "Here is Your Life" skits on Sesame Street, just about everything in Elmo's World, and so on. In the Peter Ustinov episode of The Muppet Show, Ustinov tells Kermit he was very surprised to have a conversation with the hatrack in his dressing room.
