Suppose some animal, or child, or any other character doesn't want to eat what they're being fed; how will you get that food in them, without resorting to [[Force Feeding]]? Why, you [[Title Drop|feed by example]], of course!
 
Line 13:
 
== Comics ==
* [[Tintin (Comic Book)]] and the Picaros: When Calculus is spotted slipping something into the rebel's grub (anti-alcoholism pills), the rebels refuse to eat it, since you never know what kind of chemicals were in the pills. They're convinced when Snowy (after some convincing) chows down.
 
 
== Film ==
* In ''[[Dolphin Tale (Film)|Dolphin Tale]],'' wherein all the more qualified aquatic life hospital employees didn't know how to convince [[Friendly Playful Dolphin|Winter]] to drink from the bottle she needed to drink from, newcomer Sawyer came up with the idea to drink from it himself in front of her... {{spoiler|and it worked.}}
* ''[[Free Willy]]'' has a variant of this. Jesse tries throwing Willy the fish and it doesn't work, so he holds it up and pantomimes eating it. This leads to him eventually realizing Willy wants him to put the fish right into his mouth.
 
Line 28:
* ''[[House]]'' uses a similar tactic to get a low-functioning autistic kid to put on an oxygen mask, he refers to it as "eating the yellow berries".
* ''[[Finding Bigfoot]]''. James "Bobo" Fay once cooked up some bacon because he believes that "squatches" like the smell. He said that after the bacon was cooked he would throw pieces of it into the woods for them to eat, and he ate some to show any that were watching him that it was O.K. to eat it.
* ''[[Malcolm in Thethe Middle]]'': Dewey is given the task of feeding a very reluctant Jamie. To get him to eat, he eats a spoonful of the baby food. As it happens, baby food is apparently delicious, and Dewey spends the rest of the episode eating tons of baby food, along with wearing a onesy and diapers...
 
 
Line 36:
 
== Western Animation ==
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' Fluttershy put her mouth into the soup bowl, pretending to sip on it so that [[The Phoenix|Philomena]] would do so as well. {{spoiler|It doesn't work.}}
