* The famous "Crunchy Frog" sketch from ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''. While one could make the argument that eating a chocolate-covered (raw, baby<ref>Shouldn't that be a tadpole?</ref>) frog isn't ''that'' weird <ref>They eat frog's legs, don't they?</ref>, the "Spring Surprise" {{spoiler|which shoots steel bolts through your cheeks}} ''definitely'' qualifies for this trope. (Besides, the ingredients were quite clearly listed on the label. It's your own fault if you don't read them.)

** In the ''Life of Python'' retrospective, Eric Idle recounts a sketch he had written, which some of the other Pythons refused to do. It involved a wine tasting, where the taster would pronounce his judgement on a succession of wines, only to told after each glass that it was actually urine.

* This happened in ''[[Married... with Children]]'', Al Bundy was doing his famous Bundy burgers and needed ash from all his previous grilling in order to give it a flavor. Peggy spilled the ashes and so she sent her kids all around the neighborhood to get more ashes. Kelly found some in an urn at the Rhodes household that held Marcy's beloved Aunt Toody. The results of discovering it was hilarious. {{spoiler|Steven, who hated Marcy's aunt, just grinned and took a huge bite of the burger.}}

The many customers are disgusted, with Kyle exclaiming, {{spoiler|"You were sticking these in your ASS, Cartman!?!"}}

* ''[[The Secret Show]]'' has a whole episode revolving around this. Anita appears to have caused an international incident by, while disguised as The World Leader, eating an alien ambassador. However, when the rest of the species shows up, the rest of humanity eats them as well (everyone except vegans, as the aliens smell like any given individual's favorite type of meat/fish). Those who do eat them, however, turn into deformed splotchy versions of themselves, until a second wave of (dessert-scented/flavored) aliens shows up. It turns out that humanity is actually part of an alien reproductive cycle; once the two aliens are eaten, the victim burps up a new baby alien, restoring themselves to normal.
