While it has been done, in Real Life chainsaw juggling is unusual even for highly skilled professional jugglers who want to add the spice of danger to their act. But it's much more common in fiction — want to take that juggling act to the next level? Just add chainsaws! A common yet very dangerous trick that is often performed at sideshows and circuses. It is typical for someone of exceptional bravery to juggle chainsaws while the chainsaws are running. In Western Animation, expect a character to appear fine for a minute before literally falling apart or to fall through a hole in the floor that was caused by the chainsaws. Of course, chainsaws aren't the only dangerous things that can be used in juggling. People can also juggle flaming torches, tasers, and swords, which makes this trope Truth in Television. Not to be confused with Juggling Loaded Guns, which is more about comedically reckless gun usage than juggling per se. Though if one were, in fact, to juggle loaded guns, that would indeed be an example of both tropes. For a character who fights by making sharp objects fly around, see Master of the Levitating Blades and related tropes. |

One The Far Side cartoon shows a stage performer who has been juggling nuclear warheads, but has just dropped them all over the place. An audience member complains: "More like defused nuclear warheads!"note Reality Is Unrealistic; a nuclear warhead will not detonate from being dropped, even from thousands of feet in the air. | |

In an episode of Bones, Brennan has called in all her interns (instead of the usual one-per-episode), and while they're standing around waiting for her, they decide that they must have been called in to study a body with a chainsaw sticking out of its chest. When Brennan arrives, she scolds them because it should have been obvious that the body was just some silly person who had been trying to juggle a chainsaw, a tennis ball, and another object; not murder. | |

In the Beavis and Butt-Head episode "Comedians", the first scene inside the Laff Hole shows a juggler juggling a small white ball, an axe, and a chainsaw. It is heavily implied that his arm is cut off by the chainsaw at the end of the act. At the end of the episode, Beavis sets up his own juggling act involving newspapers lit on fire. Cut to Beavis and Butthead outside the Laff Hole, watching the fire department arrive and put out the fire. | |

In Jingo, Vetinari goes from juggling melons, to juggling melons and knives. He adds the knives because juggling items of multiple shapes is more difficult than juggling items of only one type. This is followed with a footnote that this is, in fact, true even of chainsaws, but if you do happen to miss one, that's only the first of your problems, and some more will be along shortly. | |

Warframe has Vauban, who will do a one-handed shower juggle as a charging animation if you hold down the key for his Tesla Nervos. It falls under this trope, because Tesla Nervos are autonomous electroshock grenades, and are so dangerous that merely being within a few meters of one will result in the Tesla latching onto its new friend with homicidal enthusiasm and applying large amounts of electricity directly into their central nervous system (or equivalent). Telsa Nervos also explode violently from time to time; after all, they're still grenades. Thank goodness that they're Friendly Fireproof. | |
