I usually catch it on one of the Discovery channels.

Some guy discovered that if your toaster malfunctions and fails to eject
the poptart, the toaster becomes a flame thrower. They then posted
low-resolution MPEG videos on the Internet. It was briefly a big phenominon.
A bit like those stupid dancing baby GIFs...

I would think some sort of accellerant would have to be used to get that
kind of effect. Getting a toaster to ignite is pretty hard as it is, and
without an open flame, I can't see the pop tart catching fire. But it
would be interesting to see them try to do it.

Yes, there are complete episodes, but cut into separate videos due to
youtube limits.
Note these are unofficial and prone to legal takedown :)

Very likely. Discovery does make video available on their website,
though, and that may include full episodes.

Ah, Dave Barry was the origin. That explains a lot (he's a humour
columnist in Florida). :-)

And apparently he demonstrated it on David Letterman, videos apparently
on YouTube (I haven't searched for it)
