Line 27:
* [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in ''[[Mogworld]]'', wherein Jim says the line to a monster, realizing a second later that, being a zombie, he's more than likely telling the truth.
* In ''Kids Praise 9: The Search For Psalty's Missing 9'', Psalty and the kids encounter a tribe of [[Cannibal Tribe|bookibals]] who plan on eating the main character. One of the kids tries to dissuade them by pointing out Psalty's name is indicative of how he'll taste.
* In ''[[James and Thethe Giant Peach]]'', the centipede says this to the huge cloud man.
* In ''[[The Silver Chair]]'', a Talking Stag tries this and fails to avoid being eaten by {{spoiler|giants}}. The protagonists overhear them talking about the incident later, which results in an {{spoiler|[[Alien Lunch]] moment of horror when they realize ''they are eating the Stag.''}}
 
Line 33:
== [[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 [[MST3KMystery 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 (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 ''[[Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]'' that turns your blood into an acid that injures any monsters that bite you.
** And a lower level spell, called "Horrible Taste", which causes nausea in any monster that bites you.
Line 44:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|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 (Video Game)|Ys]]'' game when Adol [[Baleful Polymorph|turns into a monster]]. (Ironic, since the monsters in question are harmless kangaroo-like creatures.)
 
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* [[Digger (Webcomic)|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.
 
Line 56:
* 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]].
