History Main / MeatOVision

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "The Hungry Games" has a desperately hungry Wanda hallucinate that Cosmo, Timmy and Chloe are turkey legs.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' did an interesting spoof. When Timmy's parents are given superpowers, Timmy's Dad gains "meat vision" (to complement his wife's heat vision). Basically, he can now make meat products appear at will just by looking at some empty space and squinting. Instant hot dog! (When they were forced to give up their powers, Timmy's Dad said this power is what he would miss the most.)

** The 1938 short ''WesternAnimation/JungleJitters'' involves a salesman being captured by cannibals and brought before their queen, who falls in love with him. While she sees him as Creator/ClarkGable and Creator/RobertTaylor, the rest of the tribe see him as a giant roast chicken.

** In "Kooky Cooks", [=SpongeBob=] is accidentally cooked and served to Mrs. Puff, complete with an apple in his mouth. One stomach surgery later, she sees [=SpongeBob=] again and, having developed a craving for fried sponge, sees him as the meal from before before giving chase.

* ''WebComic/{{Oglaf}}'' has a non-food variant, naturally involving sex because it's ''Oglaf''. In "Longitude", a group of seamen who have been stranded on a small boat too long are so horny that they can't tell whether they've finally spotted land because they keep seeing only sexual imagery when they try to look at it through a telescope.

* In one episode of ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'', Kawasaki accidentally feeds Kirby a magical spice capable of making any dish look palatable. Cue Kirby [[MushroomSamba seeing everything and everyone as food]].

-->'''Alex:''' Ohhhhh yeah! ''(growls and advances meaningly towards Marty)''

* ''WebComic/{{Oglaf}}'' has a non-food variant, naturally involving sex because it's ''Oglaf''.

* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': While it isn't necessarily from intense hunger, in Season 5 episode 36, Happy S. imagines numerous objects around him, such as robots and tree leaves, turning into lollipops, but doesn't try to eat them. This distracts him for enough time that he nearly gets hit by a car on the street. Later, the MonsterOfTheWeek, which feeds on people's distractions, traps Happy S. in this fantasy.
* In the ''Animation/MotuPatlu'' episode "Motu Ke Samose", Motu gulps down an entire bottle of medicine made by Dr. Jhatka, causing him to hallucinate samosas everywhere.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheNewMrPeabodyAndShermanShow'', Mr. Peabody and Sherman get trapped underground with explorer Lucy Walker, leaving Peabody starving and seeing Sherman as a hot dog and Lucy as a chicken leg. Not wanting to eat his son, or change history, he settles on a convenient hamburger that turns out to be a compass.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' has an episode where Monty sees Zipper as a piece of brie while attempting to go cold turkey on cheese after his addiction puts Gadget's life in danger.

* ''Series/TheMrPotatoHeadShow'': When Queenie goes on a diet, she starts seeing other cast members this way (who, let us remember, are almost all AnthropomorphicFood to begin with): she sees Mr. Potato Head as a baked potato, and she sees Baloney as a sandwich.

* In ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary]]'', [[SweetTooth Lemres]] abstains from candy for a few days and slowly starts to go insane from it. He eventually comes across Dongurigaeru and, in a slight variation on the trope, mistakes him for a gumdrop and tries to eat him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'', after the [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute kraken]] has a taste of Captain Hook for the first time, it sees him as [[http://magicalscreencaps.com/images/returntoneverland/gall/returntoneverland144.jpg a big red codfish]].

* Winnie the Pooh of, well, ''WesternAnimation/{{Winnie the Pooh|2011}}'', begins hallucinating that his shadow, his friends, and ''everything'' around him are honey pots when he's starving.

* The main plot of ''Manga/TheMermaidPrincesssGuiltyMeal'' discovers the wonders of seafood by eating cuisine made from her fish friends. After numerous chapters worth of dining on members of her community, she starts seeing other fish, even her attendants, as potential meals, and can't snap out of it.

A character has been suffering from hunger for days or weeks, and begins to hallucinate. Is that a delicious steak dinner, a giant hot dog, or a large roast fowl sitting right next to him? No, it's one of their friends, who is now staring back at him oddly, wondering "{{Why are you looking at me like that}}?"

Also, to clarify, despite the name, MeatOVision can apply to any kind of food, not just meat-related products.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', the neighborhood is flooded, and after having gone without food for a while, Rolf imagines Johnny's head as a turkey. Even though there was a cow, goat, pig, and several chickens on board the raft with them.

'''Johnny:''' O-kay...

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' did an interesting spoof. When Timmy's parents are given super-powers, Timmy's Dad gains "meat vision" (to complement his wife's heat vision). Basically, he can now make meat products appear at will just by looking at some empty space and squinting. Instant hot dog! (When they were forced to give up their powers, Timmy's Dad said this power is what he would miss the most.)

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': In one of the comics, Soldier, Pyro and Scout get lost on a Russian mountain looking for Heavy when Soldier begins to hallucinate that everything around him is food, including Scout who appears as a giant hot dog. Except Scout ''is'' actually wearing a hot dog costume he found in...[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Amelia Earhart's downed plane]].

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* In the ''Webcomic/TeamFortress2'' comic "A Cold Day in Hell", Soldier is suffering from hypothermia-induced hallucinations in Siberia and envisions the wildlife as a Thanksgiving dinner, his hands as halves of a grilled cheese sandwich, and Scout as a giant hot dog. Except that last part is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]: Scout snaps him out of it, revealing that Scout really is wearing a hot dog costume, which Pyro [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext found for him in the long-lost remains of Amelia Earhart's plane, along with loads of honey]].
