Line 14:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Legend (Filmfilm)|Legend]]''. The pig-like goblin Pox wants to use the unicorn's magical horn to "turn everything into garbage, a great towering mountain of slop" for him to eat.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Journey to Thethe West]]''. Zhu Bajie is a [[Pig Man|half man/half pig]] who, among other things, is quite gluttonous.
* In George Orwell's [[Animal Farm]] the first thing the pigs do when they seize power is keep the milk and apples for themselves. They are also prone to alcoholism and Squealer becomes enormously fat by the end of the book.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Pey'j, Jade's pig uncle from ''[[Beyond Good and& Evil (Videovideo Gamegame)|Beyond Good and Evil]]'', eats flies [[Messy Pig|by snorting them through his nose]].
* The Rashberry species in ''[[Viva Pinata]]''. In order to romance them, they need to eat items that have gone rotten. If they eat a hunk of cheesecake, they transform into warthogs.
* The villains of ''[[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]]'' are based around pigs. They burp and eat junk food a lot.
* Hoggmeiser from ''[[Disgaea Hour of Darkness (Video Game)|Disgaea Hour of Darkness]]''. He's greedy to the point where the periods in his speech have been replaced with $ marks, he uses his own followers as shields, and at one point compares the main character to a fish bone stuck in his throat. He never shows up in more than one chapter in the game, despite forcing his way onto your team for the rest of the game.
* Horkos of ''[[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|Shin Megami Tensei]]'' fame is a demon pig/dragon hybrid wearing a crown and cape and wielding a staff. Oh, and he [[Villainous Glutton|loves to]] [[Extreme Omnivore|eat]].
* ''[[Hogs of War]]'' is about armies of pigs fighting a bloody war for a continent full of swill.
* The pigs in ''[[Angry Birds]]'', particularly in the spin-off holiday comics. The 2011 Christmas comic has the pig king thinking that the meaning of Christmas is for him to eat all day long. In the games, if they'd just give up on eating the eggs and run for it, they'd save themselves a world of hurt.
Line 36:
* An early [[Porky Pig]] cartoon has him being punished in an [[Ironic Hell]] for stealing a pie by being force fed.
* In the U.S. Acres shorts on [[Garfield and Friends]], Orson defies this trope, but his brothers play it straight by stealing food whenever they can.
* Hoggish Greedly from ''[[Captain Planet and Thethe Planeteers]]'' is a very piggish human rather than an anthro pig, but otherwise fits the trope with both greed, gluttony and table manners.
* A pig-woman in the ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' episode "Popcorn Pandemonium" pulled the [[And a Diet Coke]] routine after ordering a large amount of snacks for herself at the movie theater.
