Line 42:
** This eventually led to the famous ''[[Nextwave]]'' cover parody of the ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'' event, which read "Mark Millar Licks Goats". Millar apparently took it in stride.
* Deconstructed in [[Alan Moore]]'s ''[[Swamp Thing]]'' run. After pictures of her and (the admittedly anthropomorphic) Swamp Thing are shown in newspapers, Abigail Cable is arrested for her relationship and charged with "crimes against nature", the laws that would usually be used to prosecute the aforementioned screwers of farm animals. She's arrested, fired from her job, her reputation is ruined, everyone starts treating her like a horrible sex offender, and Swampy is forced to cover almost the entirety of Gotham in greenery in order to secure her release. It is up to Batman to point out that if the authorities are going to arrest everyone in [[The DCU]] who has a relationship with a non-human, and it's the delivery that just ''nails'' it as a '''literal''' [[Space Whale Aesop]]. Eventually we '''''will''''' run into intelligent non-humans, and perhaps the biggest part of [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]] is whether or not we believe them - or they believe us - worthy of [[The Power of Love|love]].
{{quote|'''Batman:''' I '''mean''', if you want to take this all the '''way''', '''non-humanity''' doesn't ''end'' with the ''Swamp Thing''. Let me '''see...''' You'll possibly have to arrest '''[[Hawkman]]...''' and '''[[Metamorpho]]...''' ...And there's also '''Starfire''', from the '''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Titans]]'''. '''Her''' race evolved from '''[[Catgirl|cats]]''', I believe... The '''[[Martian Manhunter]]''', obviously. [[Captain Atom]] '''[[Captain Atom|Atom]]'''... And then of course there's '''what's-his-name'''... the one who lives in '''[[Superman|Metropolis]]'''.}}
** Played to comedic effect in the DC Universe-based online role-plays of JLA_Watchtower and [[DC Nation]]. The characters are taking the 5,000-question online "purity test," and Gar Logan's girlfriend (an OC who is an animal-based shape-shifter like he is) quips, "Honey, just how DO we answer those bestiality questions?"
* Also gets a deconstructive nod in ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]].'' Beast's already blue and furry, but when he undergoes a secondary mutation that leaves him looking more feline than hominid, his girlfriend breaks up with him because the tabloids start comparing the relationship to bestiality.
Line 53:
== Fan Fic ==
* The [[So Bad It's Good|stunningly surreal]] ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' fic ''[[Chocobo Nights]]'' features Tifa having sex with a chocobo. Yeah.
* ''[[Forbiden Fruit: The Tempation Of Edward Cullen|Forbiden Fruit the Tempation of Edward Cullen]]'' features Jasper Cullen having a threesome with a human named Vince and the [[Mary Sue]] heroine's sidekick. This would be all very well, if not for the fact that the sidekick is an apparently non-anthropomorphic panda.
 
 
Line 80:
* In ''Far and Away'', Joseph uses this trope to insult his drunken brothers when they start giving him trouble.
{{quote|'''Joseph:''' Shag off, the pair of you. There's a goat over there. Go improve your love life.}}
* ''[[Jekyll and Hyde]] ... Together Again'': The first time the doctor wakes up from his drug-crazed adventures, he's in a motel room with a sleeping girl ... and all kinds of objects most people wouldn't consider as having anything to do with sex. Unable to remember what happened, he stares at this and wonders in horror, "How low have I sunk?" Then he turns around and sees a sheep. "'''''That''''' low?!"
 
 
Line 256 ⟶ 257:
* "The Lonely Shepherd" by [[Pig With The Face Of A Boy]] is about a shepherd who slept with another shepherd's wife, and then starts to feel a bit lonely...
* The Spaniard song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSjUR5IEBKM "La Cabra"] (translated as "The Goat") from the gag band ''Los Farlopez'' is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] {{spoiler|until ''they kill her'' after having too much sex with her.}}
* A [[Society for Creative Anachronism]] parody of the song "Old-Time Religion" had a stanza that went something like:
{{quote|All praise to Father Zeus,
He's a lecher on the loose,
He'll screw woman, goat or goose,
But he's good enough for me.}}
