Well, it looks like this is the end. The [[Eldritch Abomination]] rears up on its ugly, misshapen limbs, and devours the [[Idiot Hero|lovable hero]] face first. The audience does a collective cringe since, as everyone knows, watching someone getting [[Nightmare Fuel|eaten alive]] is [[Family
Wait, is that a spitting sound?
Line 45:
== Comic Books ==
* A serious variation appears in a [[Batman]]/''[[Final Crisis]]'' crossover. A couple of Darkseid's henchmen capture Bats and try to extract his memories in order to implant them in a clone army. Trouble is these memories are so traumatic ([[
** With some of the recent retcons, I can understand this. All the silver age stories were either hallucinations due to Joker/Scarecrow gas, or part of an experiment by a younger Batman to try to understand the Joker's mind. Not to mention his past, Jason Todd, [[The Killing Joke]], some of the things he's met and the fact that one of his Silver Age stories was Superman and him being friends as kids (before [[Memetic Mutation|HIS PARENTS WERE DEAD!!!!!!!]]) and Supes building [[What the Hell, Hero?|a machine that could see the future.]]
* In ''[[Nextwave]]'', Forbush Man transports four fifths of the Nextwave team into nightmare visions of their own existence conjured up from the recesses of their minds. This doesn't work on Tabby, whose mind is so utterly shallow as to render her immune. She explodes him.
* In one of [[Marvel Comics]]' goofier ''Captain Marvel'' stories in recent years, the Psycho-Man, a [[Complete Monster|mind-raping]] emotion-controlling mad scientist, attempts to use [[Psychopathic Manchild|dim-witted "hero" Drax the Destroyer]] as his pawn. Unfortunately, fear makes Drax cower in the corner, doubt makes him stand around baffled, and hate makes him attack whatever's in his path (such as Psycho-Man). Cue Psycho-Man musing that he's got to add some new emotions to his device.
Line 81:
*** No wonder. 90% of Barbarella's characterization is that she is innocently sensual, with no malice. Ok, some malice.
* [[The Three Stooges]] get a taste of brainwashing when captured by [[Red China]] while re-enacting ''[[Around the World In Eighty Days]]''. Result? [[You No Take Candle|"No brainee to washee!"]]
* In ''Me and the Big Guy'' a parody of ''[[Nineteen Eighty
* At the end of ''[[Men in Black (Film)|Men In Black]]'', K intentionally gets himself swallowed to retrieve his gun. The result is less than enjoyable for the bug...
Line 136:
== Radio ==
* [[Big Finish Doctor Who]]: The Eighth Doctor in "Phobos". When facing a monster that feeds on adrenaline but is harmed by actual fear, the Doctor conquers it effortlessly by showing it his own mind. He starts by feeding it memories of all the things he's seen in the past, followed by all the evil he's seen from the future... and as a final blow, [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|all the things he's afraid he might do someday]]. The whole [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] takes several minutes, with the Doctor continuously mocking the monster throughout. Oh, and he does it ''while bungee jumping into the monster's transdimensional portal''.
== Tabletop Games ==
* In one old module for ''[[Call of Cthulhu]]'', players have to stop a plot to link the mind of an [[Eldritch Abomination]] to the psyches of all humanity, by which the villains intend to reduce the human race to its gibbering worshippers. If they fail to stop it, there's a campaign-preserving [[
* The Kroot in ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' evolve by [[Mega Manning|assimilating the genetic material]] of what they eat, progressing certains groups along specific developmental lines (to the point where every single animal on their homeworld Pech is a Kroot derivative, their ancestors filling all available niches). However, the Shapers (basically guides as to what should be eaten) instruct their brethren to avoid [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong|Genestealer hybrids]] or those [[The Corruption|tainted with Chaos]] due to their potential to corrupt the entire species.
Line 147:
* In ''[[Nethack]]'', being swallowed whole while wearing a ring of slow digestion causes the devouring monster to vomit the hero out.
** Unsurprisingly, eating one of the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Riders of the Apocalypse]] has an even worse result.
* In ''[[Blaz Blue]]'', [[The Worm That Walks|Arakune]] tends to [[I'm a Humanitarian|eat vanquished opponents]] in his story mode... but gives [[Highly
** [[Big Eater]] [[Catgirl|Tao]] (who attempts/considers eating various other characters in story mode) also chooses not to eat Arakune on the grounds of how disgusting [[The Nicknamer|Black Squiggly]] looks.
* Charlie Ho-Tep in ''[[Sam and Max]]'', the ventriloquist's dummy that unlocks Max's psychic ventriloquism power, used to belong to Junior, the youngest of the Elder Gods. Junior hated him; played with him for about ten minutes, and then chucked him aside, declaring him to be creepy as shit and wanting nothing more to do with him. That's right; he was too creepy for the brain-melting abomination against reality.
Line 196:
*** Then [[Double Subverted]] later in the same episode, when Groundskeeper Willie tries to de-program Homer and winds up being brainwashed himself.
* In ''[[Spongebob SquarePants]]'', the Flying Dutchman gave Spongebob and Patrick up as slave crewmen in "Shanghaied" because they were incredibly bad at it. In a subversion, rather than letting them go, he planned to eat them, but they escaped. Then the Dutchman catches them, but he offers them three wishes before they're eaten. After accidentally using up two of their wishes, they use their final wish to turn the Dutchman into a vegetarian. But ''then'' they appear in a blender, somehow transformed into ''fruit'', with the Dutchman preparing to eat them.
** Speaking of the Flying Dutchman, in "Born Again Krabs" Mr. Krabs trades Spongebob's soul for 62 cents. Just as he starts to [[My God, What Have I Done?|feel bad about it,]] the Flying Dutchman comes back to return Spongebob after being annoyed by his incessant chatter about his hobbies.
** In a third Flying Dutchman example, namely "Scaredy Pants", Spongebob is shaved down by Patrick to make him rounder for a sheet he uses as a Flying Dutchman costume to try to scare everyone in the Krusty Krab for Halloween. He fails miserably, but as the entire restaurant is laughing at him the ''real'' Dutchman arrives, angered by Spongebob's insulting costume and about to steal everyone's souls. He takes a moment before doing so to explain the concept of being scary to Spongebob, then removes the sheet... and flies away screaming when he sees the sponge had been shaved down to facial features, a brain, and a "spinal cord".
* Literal example from ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'': Following a succession of increasingly dirty encounters and not willing to wash Buttercup once became so filthy and stinky that a huge monster who tried to swallow her spat her out and refused to fight her until she cleans herself. That was the only thing that actually persuaded her to wash.
Line 209:
* In the ''[[Metalocalypse]]'' episode "Snakes N Barrels II", Dethklok consider Los Angeles to be so brutal and messed up that they would kill themselves if they lived there.
* This is the entire point of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. [[Satan|Lucius]] wants to break Jimmy, but not only is he [[Too Kinky to Torture]], but he often drive Lucius crazy.
* ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'s'' Gunther is so evil that even Marceline's [[Satan|dad]] is afraid to suck out his life force. But isn't he so [[
* In the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Trapper Keeper", the Trapper Keeper becomes sick and is destroyed when it assimilates Rosie O' Donnell
* In ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'', Timmy's imaginary friend Gary is eaten by an imaginary monster version of Vicky. She spits him out and says "I hate [[Running Gag|cool!]]"
* In the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoon "The Hole Idea", an inventor has created a portable hole, which he eventually uses to get rid of his overbearing wife, which drops her all the way to Hell. Then the devil pops up to return her, protesting "Isn't it bad enough down here without ''her''?"
* Pinkie Pie from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' spends most of her time doing utterly impossible and sometimes fourth wall breaking antics. But even she can't handle eating a rainbow.
** Double points for Pinkie reacting to it by [[Fire
