* In the ''[[Superman]]'' story "The Black Ring" (which in fact is a [[Villain Episode]] staring Lex Luthor) Grodd the Gorilla consumes the brains of victims, gaining the knowledge they possessed by doing so.

Line 101 ⟶ 102:
* In ''[[Farscape]]'' the cyborg Kaarvok had a habit of removing the brains of his victims with a straw- which would them be fed into a slot in his head.
** After removing the neurochip from Crichton's brain, [[Magnificent Bastard|Scorpius]] finds that there's a large chunk of cerebral tissue clinging to it. [[Slasher Smile|Grinning wickedly]], he eats the piece of brain matter in a single bite.

:* Subverted in "Brown Evil"; Mandy thinks Billy can safely fight the zombies for the same reason, but ''these'' zombies are ''not'' after brains, but rather the brownies Grim is hiding in his skull.
* Parodied and subverted in ''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey]]'' episode "That Darn Platypus", where a new platypus student keeps rubbing into everyone's faces that he is an alien. Adam refuses to believe this, but the animals have reason to believe from various signs, such as when he keeps mentioning he enjoys brain juice. Turns out it was just a nutritional fruit juice. And then got inverted towards the end where it is implied that it really is made from brains.
* In the ''[[Invader Zim]]'' episode "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars", ZIM is simultaneously trying to keep his Robo-Parents from eating a child, pilot the (incredibly large) ship of his alien leaders to come to Earth to see his "progress" while trying to keep his rival Dib from crashing said ship, and keep a creature in a containment chamber's status stable. The creature is a giant brain-sucking parasite. No reason is give as to why it sucks the brain right out of your skull or even how ZIM managed to obtain such a thing in the first place (but this ''is Invader ZIM'' after all...)
