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]].
 
Can lead to a [[Fridge Horror]] (as does [[The Scarpia Ultimatum|forced marriage when you realise that it's actually G-Rated rape]]). Sometimes tickling becomes a [[Fetish Fuel]]. Usually done with a feather (despite not being the most effective in [[Real Life]]). See also [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]] and [[Spank the Cutie]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 18:
* In ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'', two of the Digidestined were tortured by Ranamon tickling them with a feather.
* And in ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'', Shoutmon gets treated into this because the villains think he has the [[Plot Coupon|Code Crown]].
* 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.
* [[Dragonball|Goku]] gets tickled by Caterpy (no, not ''[[Pokémon|that]]'' Caterpie) in his first round of the Otherworld Tournament.
Line 28:
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Asuna got the tickle treatment in the nude from Fate who could make water turn into a bunch of arms. {{spoiler|It's later revealed that the only thing stopping him from ripping her to pieces was Asuna's magic-cancelling ability.}}
** Later on, most of class 3-A does this to Chao.
* Happens in the ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|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.
Line 62:
* In ''[[Sly Cooper (Video Game)|Sly 2: Band Of Thieves]]'', THE MURRAY captures General Clawfoot so Bentley can get info on the Contessa's castle from him... With a feather.
{{quote| Bentley: "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|Talk, you scoundrel!]]"}}
* [[The Joker]] briefly does this in an attempt to make [[Batman]] {{spoiler|give in to the Titan transformation}} right before the final battle of ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum (Video Game)|Batman Arkham Asylum]]''.
* A quest in ''[[World of Warcraft (Video Game)|World of Warcraft]]'s'' Northern Barrens has you interrogating a Quilboar. You can break him pretty much instantly if you either feed or tickle him as opposed to punching or kicking him. You also get a status buff, "Saintly" because you're a nice person for using non-violence.

Line 80:
* Used on two separate occasions by Robotnik to attempt to gain information in ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (Animation)|Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.
* A fox gets tickled as punishment in two scenes in an episode of the ''[[Redwall]]'' series.
** While toned down from the ''actual'' [[Cold -Blooded Torture|torture]] from the book, the animated series still manages to make this disturbing by having the fox ''[[Family -Unfriendly Death|dropped to his death]]'' when they were done the second time.
* Olive Oyl gets tickled on two separate occasions in the ''[[Popeye]]'' cartoon.
* Played for laughs in the ''[[Arthur (Animation)|Arthur]]'' episode "Buster's Dino Dilemma". Buster had kept the dinosaur fossil (a footprint) he had dug up during a field trip, instead of turning it in so it could be displayed at the museum as the class had been ordered. In a [[Dream Sequence]], he is found out because Arthur was put through this.
Line 97:
* On ''[[Jimmy Two Shoes]]'', when Jimmy is tried by the Horn Fairies (Miseryville versions of the Tooth Fairy), he expects this is the worst punishment they will come up with. He's wrong.
* In ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures (Animation)|Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', the Monkey King tickle tortures Tohru to make him confess where Jackie and the others went.
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "It's About Time", Spike does this briefly to Twilight Sparkle.
* Used in ''The Secret World of Benjamin Bear'' episode: "A Tickle Too Far"
