No Animals Were Harmed: Difference between revisions

== Films ==

* From ''[[The Naked Gun]] 33 1/3'':

Wooly Fettered Tree Squirrel (approx. 100) Crew Lunch }}

* ''[[Cats Don't Dance]]'': "No animals were harmed in making this film. Although, a few had to be erased and redrawn."

* ''[[Brother Bear]]'' ends with Koda announcing that "no fish were harmed in the making of this film." The message is undercut by [[Carnivore Confusion|a bear chasing a salmon crying for help]] in the background.

* ''[[In the Mouth of Madness]]'' has this played straight and subverted:

Human interaction was monitored by the Inter Planetary Psychiatric Association. The body count was high, the casualties are heavy. }}

* ''[[The Flintstones]]'' movie: "No dinosaurs were harmed in the making of this movie."

* Parodied in the end credits of ''[[A Serious Man]]'': "No Jews were harmed in the making of this film."

* In ''[[24 Hour Party People]]'', Tony Wilson goes out of his way in his narration to the audience to mention that no animals were harmed at the conclusion of a scene involving Shaun and Paul Ryder killing 3,000 pigeons with poisoned breadcrumbs.

** Feral pigeons are legally vermin in the UK, so they can be killed in any manner by any one at any time, so even if the film ''did'' kill 3,000 pigeons, they didn't really need to add the disclaimer.

* Parodied in the ending credits of [[Critters]] 2: absolutely no critters were harmed in the making of this film.

* Parodied in a recent episode of Time Warp. "Several stuffed animals were harmed in the making of this episode. And to be honest, they had it coming."

* Parodied in ''[[Just Shoot Me]]''. The cast helps Finch with a film for film class. They burn a birdhouse that's a substitute for a real house while the bird was still inside.

** The episode "Slow Donnie" had a subplot concerning some birds in Nina's office. At the end there's a disclaimer from Dennis that "No birds were harmed in the making of this episode." Then a tennis ball from offscreen hits one of the cages, followed by Dennis saying "Oops!"

* Also parodied in ''Richard Hammond's Blast Lab'', where people who are part of experiments are referred to as 'Lab Rats': Richard Hammond says "No Lab Rats were harmed..." towards the end of the credits, and then goes on to say an exception, (for example) "...But one tripped and fell".

* ''[[Not the Nine O'Clock News]]'' had a fake apology for a scene where a lorry runs over a hedgehog. "the hedgehog used was a stuffed hedgehog and we feel we exhibited less cruelty to hedgehogs per se than whoever it is that goes around stuffing them".

* On ''[[The Young Ones]]'', after Alexi Sayle is shown drinking the contents of a goldfish bowl, a short clip of the inside of his stomach is shown:

'''Puppet hunk of food:''' They never read the letters anyway. }}

* In a memorable ''[[Las Vegas]]'' episode: "No [[Jean Claude Van Damme|Jean Claude Van Dammes]] were actually injured or killed during the filming of this episode."

* Humor a-capella group Moosebutter parodied this in their song "Captain Organic Vegetable Man":

* The credits inside Eels' ''Daisies Of The Galaxy'' include a note that "no [[Sampling|samples]] were harmed during the making of this record".

* The end credits for ''[[Resistance]] 2'' end with the line "No gargantuan monsters were harmed in the making of this game", most likely in reference to the [[Kaiju]]-sized Leviathan in the Chicago level.

* Parodied in the credits of [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee's]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYQLR7dE5k4 review] of ''[[Fable]] The Lost Chapters'': "NO PUPPIES WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO EXCEPT ONE WHO GENUINELY DESERVED IT"

* ''[[The Critic]]'': "Celebrity voices were impersonated. No celebrities were harmed in the making of this episode."
