* ''Series/GuillermoDelTorosCabinetOfCuriosities '': "The Autopsy" features an elderly coroner who discovers that a rash of strange deaths and disappearances were the work of an alien PuppeteerParasite who not only pulls GrandTheftMe on it's victims, but also leaves their consciousness intact and helpless just for it's own sadistic pleasure. Due to the parasite being almost helpless while switching hosts, it requires the help of it's current body to move to the next, and the coroner is able to use this brief window to blind, deafen and cripple himself, trapping the parasite inside his body and making it nearly impossible for it to steal another one. Making things worse for the creature is that the coroners body is not only mutilated beyond use, but also diseased with cancer, meaning it's also short-lived.

** [[spoiler: The second Greed takes the words of the first Greed to heart. After Father consumes him, he uses his Ultimate Shield in a reversal mannter to turn Father's body into the weakest form of charcoal, allowing Edward to strike the finishing blow]]

* [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Medicine Melancholy]], a poison doll youkai, was once captured by a man-eating plant in the Forest of Magic in the [[{{Hentai}} H]]-{{doujinshi}} ''Ningyou Kakumei''. While the way she cried it out was desperate, she ''was'' warning the plant that she was [[PoisonedWeapons poisonous]].

* In ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga 2'', a prisoner in a HumanResources prison/factory says "Devour me and [[Franchise/StarWars I will become more powerful]] [[ShoutOut than your digestive system can imagine]]."

* In WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter, when alternate-world Donkey gets captured by the resistance ogres and is about to be sent to the kitchen, he threatens that he "goes down smooth, but comes out fighting."

* Played with in ''Literature/TheEnormousCrocodile'' by Creator/RoaldDahl. When the titular crocodile tells Muggle-Wump the monkey about his plans to eat a child, clothes and all, Muggle-Wump retorts, "I hope the buttons and buckles all stick in your throat and choke you to death!" Thankfully, due to his actions and those of the other animals as well, this never happens.

* In ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'', Dale is captured by the Hunters, a group of survivors who have resorted to cannibalism after running out of food, and has his remaining leg cut off (his other leg had been amputated several months earlier to save him from a zombie bite). When he wakes up and finds the Hunters eating his leg, Dale just laughs hysterically... because he'd been bitten ''again'' just hours before while the main characters were fleeing a zombie herd, and the whole reason he'd wandered off from the group was to die alone, meaning that the cannibals were just gorging themselves on infected flesh. [[spoiler: It's never revealed if they were infected or not, as the meat had been cooked, and Rick and the others track them down and brutally kill them all before any of them could get sick.]]

** [[IncrediblyLamePun ...Ha ha.]]

* The ''{{Transformers}}'' have attempted to give both [[PlanetEater Unicron]] and [[HordeOfAlienLocusts The Swarm]] "The worst case of indigestion they've ''ever'' had," twice apiece. It's one of longtime Transformers scribe Simon Furman's famous "[[AuthorCatchphrase Furmanisms]]".

* In the comic ''ComicStrip/HsuAndChan'', when the title characters are cornered by man-eating bears, Hsu stuffs himself with Zingers saying "These always make me sick as a dog. This'll teach 'em to eat me!"

Not to be confused with TooSpicyForYogSothoth (where the enemy actually '''does''' regret eating them) -- although that's a common way of playing this trope for laughs. Also don't confuse this with YouWontLikeHowITaste. While they sound similar, there's a big difference. In this trope, the invoker has pretty much come to terms with the idea of getting [[EatingTheEnemy eaten by their foe.]] They're just spitefully hoping that their hungry hunter doesn't enjoy their meal. You Won't Like How I Taste, on the other hand, is actually an attempt to convince their attacker ''not'' to eat them at all.

* In ''Literature/CarpeJugulum'', witch Granny Weatherwax turns the tables on a family of vampires by deliberately offering them her blood. It's not so much a case of Granny becoming a vampire, as of the unwary vampires drinking the blood of the most powerful witch on the Disc and absorbing something of her essence. This can only end badly. For a clan of vampires who now manifest a ferocious craving for hot sweet tea, Granny's belief in vampire weaknesses, and a complete inability to admit they have a problem.

* ''Literature/TheTerror''. Dr Goodsir takes a fatal overdose rather than [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty be forced participate in cannibalism]] by the mutineers, but leaves a note on his chest saying he took poison and anyone who eats his body will die. No-one dares do so.
