* ''Film/DinnerInAmerica'': Simon eats six dinners (in America) over the course of the film. He's always hunched over his plate with his elbows on the table, shoveling food into his mouth and loudly sucking on his fingers. In the end, when he eats the only dinner he actually enjoys, he grabs the steak with his hands, rips it in half, tosses one half to a bystander, and bites a hunk off of his own.

* In ''Film/TheKingsMan'', Grigori Rasputin tears a whole Bakewell tart in half and then shoves it messily in his face with most of it ending up in the floor. He might be actively invoking this trope as a mockery to his dinner guest, an [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman English lord]], with him making a quip about how "English" it is, but he's also messy and crude overall. [[spoiler:Also the tart is poisoned and Rasputin figured it out from the [[BitterAlmonds almonds]] on top, so even with his AcquiredPoisonImmunity he's got an incentive to waste as much of it as possible.]]

It is an unspoken agreement in polite society that the proverb ''"You are what you eat"'' not only applies literally to what you are eating, but also ''how'' you actually consume the food. What better way, then, to show that a powerful (usually [[FatBastard fat]]) and important person is a corrupt villain by having him greedily wolf down food with loud slurps-burps-slobbering, in a manner more befitting of a pig than a gentleman of his status?

Bonus points of villainy if the food is meant to be "fine" gourmet food that would cost the month's wage of a poor person to buy. It takes an ''epically'' repulsive villain to make the very consumption of fine foods a disgusting act to behold. If the character is a {{Gasshole}}, expect plenty of belches, or at least a very loud one.

Eating loudly, using their bare hands, spilling food on themselves and not bothering to clean it up, consuming plates, silverware, tablecloths, and other tablewares, taking the food of other patrons, and [[{{Gasshole}} belching often, or at least letting off one singular, loud burp]]; there are an endless number of ways to portray disgusting table manners.

* The ogres in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' are legendary for both the quantity of food they consume and the complete lack of any sense of manners they display while doing so. In fact, cleanly eating is considered to be borderline heretical in ogre culture and any ogre who doesn't display the expected level of sloppiness while eating can face punishment from their tribe as a result.
