'''Examples:'''

Line 21:

* In Volume 4 of ''[[Monster (Anime)|Monster]]'', the Neo-Nazi gangster called "the Baby" continually compares the arson he plans to commit against the Turkish section of town to a fine meal, with {{spoiler|the destruction of the chemical warehouse}} as the "main course". When it's prevented by Tenma, he sadly notes, "My main course has gone cold..."

* In the first anime of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', the homunculi gain their powers by eating "red stones", which are [[Human Resources|made from people.]] [[Complete Monster|Envy]] gives some to Wrath while [[Hannibal Lecture|Hannibal Lecturing]] him into a [[Face Heel Turn]]. Envy remarks on his enjoyment for the taste of them.

* Given that the [[I Cannot Self Terminate|the only way to kill an immortal]] in ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]!'' is to [[Identity Absorption|"devour" them]], an [[Evil Tastes Good]] metaphor is practically required to show up. The [[Light Novels]] don't even try to dance around it, going straight for the cannibal implications of [[You Will Be Assimilated|Szilard Quates]]'s murder spree.

{{quote| '''Quates:''' I always did like the taste of brain fluid.}}

* The Gluttony chapter of the book of Eibon in the [[Soul Eater|Soul Eater manga]].

Line 37:

* Harry Osborn in the third ''[[Spider-Man (Film)|Spider-Man]]'' movie uses this trope in a [[Double Entendre]]. After manipulating Peter into thinking Mary Jane has dumped him for Harry, he tells a waitress asking him about the pie he's eating that it "tastes so good."

* Hexxus in ''Ferngully'' describes [[Card Carrying Villain|spreading pollution, devouring animals and destroying the environment]] with quasi-sexual glee in "Toxic Love", a [[Villain Song]] ''ode'' to [[Evil Feels Good]] and more so, [[Evil Tastes Good]]. Even more evident in the extended version. While the in movie version danced around it, the extended version has him outright state: "I feel good, a special kind of horny."

* [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] has an [[Evil Tastes Good]] scene in ''[[Cruel Intentions]].''

* In ''The Polar Bear King'', the Witch infuses her wedding feast with a moderate amount of Evil for her guests (including the Devil himself). Too much evil is apparently fatal.

Line 97:

** At one point he talks about drizzling rage dressing on a salad of evil.

* In [[Professor Layton and The Last Specter]], [[Tim Curry|Descole]] drops the line, "Witnessing your downfall will be... ''delicious''".

* Ghirahim, main villain of ''[[The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'', licks his lips in every fight with Link. It's more of an example of "Violence Tastes Good", considering [[Ax Crazy|his]] [[Blood Knight|personality]].

Line 107:

** And [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0031.html brain sucking has all kinds of tastes!]

** Also subverted: in the prequel book ''Start of Darkness'', a pre-lich Xykon goes on about his... strange relationship with bad coffee. The first thing he and his minions do after he's been turned into a lich and escaped his confinement is return to the old [[Greasy Spoon]]... only for him to find he can no longer taste anything. He flips out.

* If you ask Black Mage of ''[[~~Eight~~ Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-Bit Theater]],'' the only thing better than pie is EVIL pie.
