{{quote|''"This tickle torture isn't funny!"''|'''Luigi''' being subjected to this, ''[[Super Mario Bros Super Show]]''}}
So, we have a [[Card-Carrying Villain]] who is going to inflict a horrible torture on his victims. [[Fingore|Cutting off fingers]] won't work in a G-Rated show, what can be a substitute for that? Of course, tickling! Sometimes lampshaded. Basically, tickling is a G-Rated [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]. It's usually led up to by the torturer saying "[[We Have Ways of Making You Talk]]".
Usually done with a feather (despite not being the most effective in [[Real Life]]) and/or [[Robotic Torture Device|tickle robot]]. May be played as [[Romanticized Abuse]].
Line 20:
* Used in ''[[To Love Ru]]'' by a [[Man-Eating Plant]]. Since it's To Love Ru, it's purely for [[Fan Service]].
* Happens to Sasami in the second OVA and an episode of the [[Pretty Sammy]] TV series.
* [[Dragon Ball|Goku]] gets tickled by Caterpy (no, not ''[[Pokémon|that]]'' Caterpie) in his first round of the Otherworld Tournament.
** He is not so lucky in Dragon Ball GT when he is tickled out of the ring during the Junoir Division [[Born Lucky|by a nerd]]. (Thanks in part to a distraction by Vegeta.)
** He was also tickle tortured by an old hag in hell after she attempted to cook him.
Line 29:
** Later on, most of class 3-A does this to Chao.
* Happens in the ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' manga, as part of a contest.
* Purely for the sake of [[Fetish Fuel]], this shows up a few times in [[Seikon no Qwaser]]. Specially between [[Mistress and Servant Boy|Katja]] and [[Happiness in Slavery|Hanna]].
* In ''[[Nabari no Ou]]'', Raikou and Kouichi do this to some poor Alya Academy student for fun.
* [[Shinryaku! Ika Musume|Ika Musume]] discovers this in a chapter of the manga (which was adapted into an anime sub-episode), and goes on a tickling spree with everyone she meets. Naturally, she decides to use it to make Chizuru die of laughter. Chizuru [[Beware the Nice Ones|being who she is]], though, means [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shinryaku_ika_musume/v05/c081/7.html annihilation] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shinryaku_ika_musume/v05/c081/8.html ensues.] (Presumably, the episodes are not in chronological order, as a couple of earlier episodes show her tickling Eiko both as revenge and to convince her to become her servant, and on the four alien-obsessed scientists to find out why they wanted a strand of Chizuru's hair.)
* When the Saigoku Three show up and finish their introduction, [[Sengoku Otome|Nobunaga]] easily defeats them and ties them up. To find out where the [[Dismantled MacGuffin]] is, Hideyoshi does this to each of them. They return the favor later in the episode.
Line 55:
* An episode of ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'' had a man in Tartarus subjected to an eternity of tickle torture.
* On ''[[The Office]]'', Darryl [[Sarcasm Mode|further educates]] Michael on the ways of the street by explaining that gangs often duel using a technique called Fluffy Fingers, where members of each gang tickle one another to the point of capitulation.
* An episode of ''[[Life with Derek]]'' did this, when Derek had to babysit.
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 91:
* An episode of ''[[Blinky Bill]]'' has Blinky training a crocodile friend of his to be tough, part of which involves tickling. His rationale is that "tough crocs aren't ticklish".
* An episode of ''The Mouse and the Monster'' has the titular characters Chesbro and Mo (the mouse and monster, respectively) being test subjects for some scientists. Mo is subject to tickling, though the actual torture part is subverted as he actually enjoys it.
* Happens in an episode of ''[[Dragon Hunters]]''.
* In the ''[[Space Goofs]]'' episode "Scout's Night Out", Gorgious is subject to this after being captured by boy scouts.
* In the ''[[Muppet Babies]]'' episode "The Frog Who Knew Too Much", Kermit is subjected to this by a machine in a fantasy in an attempt to find out what secret he's keeping from the others.
