Nowadays, the victim's cell phone will invariably ring and the villain will pick it up and answer, "Sorry, she can't come to the phone right now ... she's [[Literal Minded|all tied up]] at the moment." (Villains never get tired of this [[Pun]]. [[Undead Horse Trope|Never.]])

* [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom]] -- when a bound captive is placed on a conveyor belt leading to death.

* [[Death Trap]] -- what many bound captives get placed in for melodrama.

* [[Gulliver Tie Down]] -- when the tie-ers are much smaller than the tie-ee.

* [[Inconvenient Itch]] -- A common result of being tied up in comedic works.

* [[Played for Drama]] in the second manwa of [[The Breaker]], ''New Waves.'' When it's revealed that the doctor who helped Shiwoon overcome several members of the S.U.C was only trying to get close to him, Shiwoon is then shown [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]. It turned out that the doctor was after him for the [[Phlebotinum]] he was [[Phlebotinum Rebel|given in the previous manwa.]] He's given two options: join the S.U.C, or have his blood turned into a powerful [[Phlebotinum]] that will help the S.U.C qonquer Seoul. Since the doctor is {{spoiler|responsible for his mother's severe injuries in an S.U.C. attack}}, he naturally refuses. So, the doctor promptly shoves a gag in his mouth and gets ready to turn him into a living blood bank.

* Tenma is captured, tied to a chair, and beaten by a dwarf Neo-Nazi crime lord in ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]''. The scene is doubly valuable as a great demonstration of [[Heroic Spirit]] and [[Fetish Fuel]].

* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai]] La Verite'' episode 6. In the [[Baseball Episode]] the maid acting as an umpire is kidnapped (and shown tied up and gagged) and replaced with a Technology Department <s>android</s> robot.

* ''[[Ookami-san]]'': Okami gets tied up by some school bullies in episode 2.

* The first volume of ''[[Spider Woman]]'' also features quite a bunch of tie up scenes of Jessica Drew, and at least there's one scene where she's also gagged.

* ''Nyoka the Jungle Girl'' is filled with this. All over the place. Nyoka gets tied up by bad guys all the time, many different ways.

* Justified for many of the Marvel Universe magic users ([[Doctor Strange]], [[Scarlet Witch]], [[Young Avengers|Wiccan]], etc.), who need the free use of their hands and voices to cast spells.

 

== [[Fan Fiction]] ==

* Dr. Brainstorm ends up like this in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]''.

** Calvin's parents also get tied up, though they were asleep the whole time.

* [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Whats Up Tiger Lily]]?'' - villain Shepard Wong has the hero and his two girl assistants bound up. Several henchman walk out of the room as Wong mutters "Everyone shows up when we have girls to tie up!"

* ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''. The Nazis tie Marion Ravenwood to a pole in a tent and gag her. When Indy finds her, he starts untying her, but then realizes that if he does so the Nazis will start looking for them. This would prevent him from finding the Ark, so he ties her back up and puts her gag back on while she makes loud protests.

* In ''Who's Harry Crumb?'', [[Big Bad|Elliott]] winds up tied to a chair, gagged with duct tape, and then suspended in midair so that all he can do is get the chair to swinging. The lipstick mark left on the duct tape right over his mouth adds a bit more humor to the situation.
