A Stock Parody of the movie Jaws, typically involving a shark or any other creature that threatens a small-town community, killing off a large number of Red Shirt characters that appear. Expect an appearance by some or all of the following: exploding air tanks, ominous fins, a local politician or businessman insisting that nothing is wrong, someone who requires a bigger boat, and of course, low bass strings playing minor 2nds in the background when the creature appears. If the shark itself is singing the music, that goes under Silly Animal Sound. As many moments from the movie are iconic and easily recognizable, a Jaws reference can vary in length from a brief Stock Shout-Out to a Whole-Plot Reference. Not to be confused with "Jaws" First-Person Perspective, which is specifically a video game trope. Compare: Moby Schtick, Attack of the Killer Whatever, Super-Persistent Predator. |

While adrift in a lifeboat, the starving Miguel and Tulio from DreamWorks' The Road to El Dorado brighten when an exhausted seagull lands on the far end of an oar. However, before the two men can capture the bird, a shark breaks the surface, and devours the bird and half the oar in one bite. The shark is seen exactly as it appears on the Jaws movie poster. Technically, this is an in-house Shout-Out, since Steven Spielberg directed Jaws and is one founder of DreamWorks SKG. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Itchy and Scratchy Land" a flashback shows the Simpsons at a beach where Homer scares everybody away with a fake dorsal fin on his back. When Bart does the same he believes him to be "Sharkboy" and runs away too. The music during this scene is a parody of "Jaws". "Lisa's First Word": Homer and Marge consider buying a houseboat from the Sea Captain; his pitch is cut short by a shark, which he proceeds to fight. The shark looks identical to the one on the "Jaws" poster. |

In Naruto, Kisame (who is associated with sharks and uses them in battle) is beaten using an attack that is based on a pressurized air explosion, much like the shark in the first Jaws. At the time, Kisame was inside a giant Water Shark Jutsu. | |

Sharknado, unsurprisingly, contains multiple shout-outs to Jaws: First, there's a moment when the characters feed a shark a scuba tank and then shoot the tank. Nova's backstory includes the line "Six people went in the water that day, and one little girl came out", a reference to Quint's monologue about his near-shark experience in WWII. And finally, "We're gonna need a bigger chopper!" |

DuckTales (2017): The episode "Jaw$". The triplets go for a midnight swim in the money bin, and Dewey gets "eaten" by a golden shark. Then they team up with Webby, Lena, and Launchpad (who declares vengeance on the shark much like Quint), steal Donald's boat and try to lure in the shark with chum (in this case, treasure). After eating almost everyone, the shark eventually gets blown up from the inside. | |

Mr. Bogus: The first act of the episode "A Day At The Office" had Bogus getting chased by a shark that Mr. Anybody had added to the picture of the beachside setting. This was subverted in the first act of the episode "Beach Blanket Bogus", as while a shark does start chasing after Brattus while he's surfing, the shark just winds up running into a rock and gets taken out of action before Brattus could even notice that he was being followed. |

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: The episode "Monster Hunt" is about the boys hunting a mysterious sea monster that is terrorizing the local lake. It was really Carl's pet turtle that he released into the lake and was later mutated by toxic waste from Jimmy's lab dumped by his father. Many scenes in the episode are pretty much directly remade from Jaws only animated and a lot less violent. In "The Mighty Wheezers", the Jaws theme plays when Jimmy slips the Wheezers experimental pills in their sleep, with his signature hairdo acting as the fin. |

The Bob's Burgers episode "The Deepening". A movie with a similar plot was filmed in town years ago, and Mr. Fischoder buys the mechanical shart from the movie as a parkside attraction. The Belcher kids play with it and it turns on and falls on its side, sending it wriggling across the block. The residents treat is as if it were a real shark attacking, and it's up to Bob to stop it. | |
