▲* A ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' filler includes Happy being abducted by runaways from a dark guild who hope to eat him. What makes his use of this trope odd is that he isn't saying this to stall. He's genuinly concerned that he'll taste bad because he really has to pee.

▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* A sketch on ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' has Kermit, as Sindbad the Sailor, telling Sweetums that frogs taste terrible "even with lots of ketchup." To back it up, he asks his crew, "Have I ever been accused of good taste?"
* Inverted in the episode ''[[I Was a Teenage Werewolf]]'' on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', where they have the soon-to-be-first-victim saying "I'm probably very tasty and well-marbled. Not something I've often thought about..."
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* "Tastes Bad to Monsters" is actually a beneficial status in one tabletop game.
* ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' has the Merit "Bad Taste", which puts any werewolf or other monster who bites you at some disadvantage due to nausea. Unfortunately, it also means that dogs, wolves and other werewolves won't lick your face or hands, which is a problem socially.
* There is a spell in ''[[
** And a lower level spell, called "Horrible Taste", which causes nausea in any monster that bites you.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Super Mario 64]] DS'', a penguin tells Yoshi not to eat him because he tastes terrible and gives cavities. Yoshi promptly spits him out.
* This is a common response in the second ''[[Ys]]'' game when Adol [[Baleful Polymorph|turns into a monster]]. (Ironic, since the monsters in question are harmless kangaroo-like creatures.)
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* [[Digger]] tries to convince Grim Eyes and other hyenas that she is unclean and therefore inedible.
* In ''[[Dreamwalk Journal]]'', Fleur says the line to her hungry spider companion.
* The first chapter of ''[[Eerie Cuties]]''; Layla corners a potential victim - well, does so for [[Annoying Younger Sibling| Nina]] - who pleads not to be eaten, claiming he has hepatitis ''and'' rabies. Layla doesn't buy it, but [[Vegetarian Vampire|Nina really doesn't want to feed on him anyway.]]
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Totally Spies!]]'', Alex tries it on a giant squid, adding "Once, a mosquito bit me and it was sick for, like, two weeks afterward!"
* Ami, to a sasquatch in ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'': "I'm not part of your balanced diet! I'm not kosher!"
* In ''[[Taz-Mania]]'', Wendel says it to Taz. Taz tries to eat him anyway and discovers that [[Subverted Trope|Wendel was telling the truth]].
* In the episode of ''[[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Aladdin: The Series]]'' "Mudder's Day", the heroes are caught by the titanic Al Muddy Sultan, who plans to cook them. Aladdin tries to stall for time by telling him his stew is "inferior", and mentions a rare spice fit for a king that grows on the surface. The sultan is intrigued, but suspicious [[Scheherazade Gambit|(as he should be)]] and tells Aladdin to get it ''alone''. ("They didn't make me Sultan ''only'' because I was the ''biggest''," he claims) requiring a change of plan on Aladdin's part.
* ''[[Gummi Bears]]'': When captured by the spider-like Spinster, Grammi comments that she's preparing the stew wrong, noting her expertise as a chef. (Gruffi almost blows the plan my noting to himself [[Lethal Chef| how her cooking actually is]]) and then gives her a few suggestions that she claims will help it. Like the ''Aladdin'' case, the Spinster is intrigued, but not stupid, and walls the place off with more webbing before leaving.
* In an episode of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', Shredder's plan involves flooding the city while the Channel 6 crew is at a restaurant, which results in April trying to go for help using the salad bar as a raft; she is quickly menaced by a hungry shark. She nervously tries to persuade it to leave her be by offering it the salad, but it seems such a notorious carnivore isn't impressed.
