Line 107:
* In at least two episodes of ''[[Torchwood]]'', the rampaging [[Monster of the Week]] encounters Owen {{spoiler|after he was [[Our Zombies Are Different|killed and resurrectied]]}}, and, after a moment of disgusted inspection, rejects him as a possible victim. The first time, in "Something Borrowed", {{spoiler|the monster doesn't eat dead meat}}, and the second time, "From Out of The Rain", {{spoiler|the villain steals your last breath - and Owen had his last breath some weeks beforehand}}.
** This trope actually forms a major part of the Series 1 finale. The [[Big Bad]] of the season, Abaddon feeds directly off life energy. So how do they kill it? The immortal Captain Jack allows Abaddon to feed off him, but Jack's life energy doesn't run out and Abbadon can't handle it.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''
* Buffy from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' suffers this once while she's working at the [[Burger Fool|Double Meat Palace]]. Standard vampire fight happens, except the vampire gets the upper hand ({{spoiler|Buffy was quite depressed this season and verged on suicidal at more than one point. She almost let a singing demon kill her once.}})...but when the vamp almost bites her, he finds he 'can't stand the smell' and tries to leave.▼
** In Spike's very first appearance (and his [[Establishing Character Moment]]) he relates how he was at Woodstock and fed on a drugged up hippie - not something he remembers fondly.
▲** Buffy
** In another episode, Angelus bites a jock, but spits out his blood in disgust. The jock was taking steroids {{spoiler|and was mutating into a fish-monster.}}
* An early episode of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' had the [[Monster of the Week|Pudgy Pig]] defeated when the Rangers fed him food that was literally too spicy for him. He promptly spat up their weapons, which he had eaten, allowing the Rangers to destroy him.
