** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E11TheGodComplex The God Complex]]" has an alien minotaur [[EmotionEater feeding on]] [[spoiler:the faith]] of those trapped in its prison by revealing [[YourWorstNightmare their worst fears]]. When Rory shows up, all it does is show him the exit because [[spoiler:he is neither religious nor superstitious and, unlike Amy, does not have an abiding faith that The Doctor will always save the day]]. Also, because after the events of "The Pandorica Opens"... there isn't really anything left for him to be afraid of.

** Likewise, in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife The Doctor's Wife]]", House is only shown attempting to MindRape Amy. WordOfGod says that House ''did'' try to do this to Rory, but simply gave up after he proved immune to it.

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "The Lodger" has an alien spacecraft trying to repair itself using people who want to leave. When a man who is comfortable sitting on his sofa all day connects himself to the main controls the whole ship overloads.
** It wasn't so much the "sitting on the sofa" as the PowerOfLove.
** In the new series episode "The Next Doctor", the Cybermen attempt to convert Mrs. Harttigan. Problem is, she's too strong-willed, and dominates them instead.
*** Similarly, the Cybermen tried to convert the same guy from "The Lodger". It worked... right up until he heard [[PapaWolf his child crying]].

* ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'' has Bizarro clones running rampant through the city, converting anyone they touch into Bizarros. When one touches Steve, his steroid habit makes him immune.

* Star Trek Voyager: A borg sphere "consumes" the Voyager by pulling it inside but Voyager just shoots its way out.

* A serious variation appears in a {{Batman}}/''FinalCrisis'' crossover. A couple of Darkseid's henchmen capture Bats and try to extract his memories in order to implant them in a clone army. Trouble is these memories are so traumatic ([[BellisariosMaxim just roll with it]]) that they short-circuit said clones.

** He also stated that he wouldn't review ''any'' webcomic, primarily because they're free entertainment mostly done as a hobby, and it's unfair to treat them the same way as comics done by professionals.

* Before the series was [[TooGoodToLast pulled prematurely off the air]], an unfinished episode of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' would have had Zim being judged on trial by the Control Brains (the central decision makers of Irken society). After finding him unquestionably guilty, they try to upload Zim's Memory Drive in his Irken Pack (where his real personality is located) before deleting his memory, but his memories drive them completely insane. Before the end of the episode, the now-insane brains declare Zim the most incredible Irken ever and granted ten minutes to control a giant ship called the MASSIVE.

** An issue of ''{{Runaways}}'' substitutes Dracula with "random vampire teenager" and Supes with Karolina, with the same results.

* TheThreeStooges get a taste of brainwashing when captured by RedChina while re-enacting ''AroundTheWorldInEightyDays''. Result? [[YouNoTakeCandle "No brainee to washee!"]]

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime's'' [[KillerRabbit Gunther the penguin]] is so evil that Marceline's [[{{Satan}} dad]] considered it a great honor to suck out his soul. He backed down pretty fast when it became clear that Gunther wasn't having any of that. Reminder: this is the guy who stomps on ants and sucks out their souls ''just because it's fun.''

* In ''WrathOfTheFirstLantern'', [[EmotionEater Volthoom]] tries to feed on Larfleeze's emotions by showing him what his life would be like with his family back. Larfleeze is too [[{{Greed}} greedy]] for it to work and Volthoom just gives up and leaves him alone.

* BigFinishDoctorWho: The Eighth Doctor in "Phobos". When facing a monster that feeds on adrenaline but is harmed by actual fear, the Doctor conquers it effortlessly by showing it his own mind. He starts by feeding it memories of all the things he's seen in the past, followed by all the evil he's seen from the future... and as a final blow, [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds all the things he's afraid he might do someday]]. The whole CrowningMomentOfAwesome takes several minutes, with the Doctor continuously mocking the monster throughout. Oh, and he does it ''while bungee jumping into the monster's transdimensional portal''.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime's'' Gunther is so evil that Marceline's [[{{Satan}} dad]] considered it a great honor to suck out his soul. He backed down pretty fast when it became clear that Gunther wasn't having any of that. Reminder: this is the guy who stomps on ants and sucks out their souls ''just because it's fun.''

* In ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublicII'', Darth Nihilus is practically crippled during his attempt to feed on [[spoiler: the Exile]], due to the former being driven by an [[HorrorHunger insatiable hunger]] to devour the Force energy of all living things, while the latter passively draws forth the Force from those around them. In other words, Nihilus tried to gorge himself on what is essentially a Force ''[[PowerOfTheVoid black hole]]''.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime's'' Gunther is so evil that even Marceline's [[{{Satan}} dad]] is afraid to suck out his life force. But isn't he so [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins cute]]!
** The way he acted and what he said fit more in line as if he would consider it a great honor to be offered Gunther's soul. Though he did back down pretty fast when it became clear that Gunther wasn't having any of that shit. Reminder, this is the guy who stomps on ants and sucks out their souls ''just because it's fun.''

** When she fights Angelus Faith dopes up then lets him feed on her. The drugs she took are so strong than he promptly stops and passes out.

* In the film adaptation of TheHitcHikersGuideToTheGalaxy, the chronically depressed robot Marvin connects himself to a police cruiser for a little chat. After a little while, the police cruiser shuts down because its computer committed suicide rather than continue listening to Marvin.
