| 19 | ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Sometimes considered an example of ColdBloodedTorture. Can be PlayedForLaughs. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | A person is restrained and possibly put into a straitjacket, or strapped to a chair. A funnel/tube may be put in their mouth (or, if they're particularly unlucky, their [[NoseShove nose]]) and something like raw eggs mixed with milk or some other [[StockYuck yucky]] (or worse, poisonous/plagued/rotten) mess is forced down the victim's throat into their stomach, possibly causing their stomach to get bigger as the torture continues. Sometimes, there is no physical force involved at all because in that particular case, threats are just as effective. May cause NauseaFuel, for both the person being force-fed and for people actually watching it happen. And, of course, NightmareFuel should not be ruled out ... nor should {{fetish}}. Its potential consequences are [[BalloonBelly both]] [[PopGoesTheHuman obvious]]. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Alternatively medication or drugs may be force-fed, either by medical staff or untrained captors. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Note that an OrificeInvasion through the mouth is a different thing. And then there's the exact opposite, [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment starvation]]. Many times this can work in tandem (starvation for a week, then force fed several times a day for a week). May be used if prisoners attempt a [[ImNotHungry hunger strike]], or as a means of FatteningTheVictim. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Compare with FoodInterrogation; that trope may lead to this one if the perp refuses to eat the food. Compare also FeedItABomb. For a milder example of this trope which is generally done in order to make a character stop talking, see FoodShoveGag. |

| 52 | * ''Manga/NodameCantabile'': Chiaki gets frustrated with Nodame and tries to force-feed her mushroom and cheese risotto after she lies and tells him that she has no appetite, even though she is actually very hungry. |

| 60 | * ''Manga/ShadowStar'': |
| 61 | ** A particularly scary version of this occurs in the anime which is pretty much a horror show all on its own. A girl named Hiroko is frequently harassed by a trio of cruel bullies (and [[PeerPressureMakesYouEvil a reluctant one]]) and on one occasion is ''forced to ingest a bunch of worms from inside a test-tube'' which she quickly vomits back up. |
| 62 | ** In the manga, Hiroko is only scared into swallowing one worm, but not actually force fed it.

Naturally, this [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfires on him]], as Mega Man had [[PowerCopying copied]] a weapon that Quick Man is ''very'' weak against beforehand, and being fully healed just allows him to tank Quick Man's blows and OneHitKill him. |
| 78 | * ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': Deconstructed in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue59 Pie in the Sky"]]. Pinkie Pie constantly forces Rainbow Dash, who [[DoesNotLikeSpam hates pies]], to eat her pies so she'll like them. This later angers Rainbow enough to make Pinkie sit through her favorite pastimes just to give ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine. Pinkie doesn't get the message until Rainbow gives her an ArmorPiercingQuestion, ''finally'' making her see what a jerk she was in completely ignoring her friend's feelings and invalidating her wishes for disliking pies. |

| 80 | * ''[[ComicBook/TheSimpsons The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror]]'' comics have a story called "The Legend of Batterface". Homer becomes a doughnut themed serial killer who murders childhood camp mates each year by force feeding them doughnuts until they suffocate. The reason he does this is because he was driven insane after his friends pulled a deserved prank on him for eating all of the doughnuts in summer camp. |
| 81 | * In ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' comic book version of "The Astro Smurf", Papa Smurf force-feeds the title character with the sleeping potion to keep him asleep. |
| 82 | * Weird example in ''ComicBook/XMen'' #231: A demon in the form of Literature/BabaYaga takes over the X-Mansion and trusses up all the New Mutants (except Magik[=/=]Illyana Rasputin) for eating, force-feeding them to make them fat. Magik risks her soul to summon her brother Colossus (she thinks he's dead; he was hiding out in Australia. ItMakesSenseInContext), and they're able to defeat the witch, but she has to use a spell to restore her friends to their normal selves. Presumably it was magic food, because the story takes place seemingly over a few hours, but the victimized mutants are fat all over, not just {{Balloon Bell|y}}ied (perhaps; the art is not clear) and they seem to be in semi-permanent {{food coma}}s (makes 'em easier to butcher). |

In other words, he is not allowed to stop eating until he has finished the ''whole'' cake. The cake measured between 18-24" in diameter with three layers of cake, so standing between 6-8" high[[note]]Total volume of said cake would be between 1526 - 3619 cubic inches (in metric that would be 25 - 60 ''Liters'')[[/note]]. To add insult to injury, Miss Trunchbull announces that the cook who baked the cake, "baked her sweat and blood into the cake'', and the children don't realise it's a figure of speech. He manages to eat the whole thing, but not before looking incredibly sick. After he finally finishes it, Miss Trunchbull hits him over the head with the dish it was on and then orders the rest of the school to spend five hours in detention or else go to the Chokey, her closet that she made into an iron maiden. |
| 148 | ** In the original book, however, he goes at that cake with gusto. By the end of it, he's so high on his own victory (not to mention copious amounts of chocolate) that he doesn't even notice it when Miss Trunchbull smashes the dish over his head. |

| 153 | * The main character of ''Film/Ravenous1999'' is forced to eat human flesh twice (arguably, three times) when his life is endangered. As the film is based on the {{Wendigo}} legends, these acts have larger ramifications than simply breaking the normal taboo regarding eating human flesh. |

An elderly woman named Sara becomes addicted to weight loss drugs and is sent to a medical facility where she is interrogated by doctors, strapped into a chair, and force-fed.

| 335 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7bEytedtE And don't forget the gravy!]] The short "Chow Hound", directed by Creator/ChuckJones, dates from 1951, originally illustrated this page and may have come fairly early in this trope's life - funnel and everything. |
| 336 | *** A little context: a mean, gluttonous, lazy dog has been using a cat and mouse in a scheme to get food (he usually bullies the cat into giving him the food from his various "owners", and slapping the cat, grumbling "You forgot the gravy!"). He eventually parlays the scheme into earning him enough money to buy a stocked butcher's shop-- whose contents he devours in an off-screen frenzy. While he's lying there bloated and ill, the cat and mouse he used to bully show up, claiming that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7bEytedtE "This time, we didn't forget the gravy..."]] Cue the terrified (and helpless) dog begging for mercy, while the cat and mouse calmly stuff a funnel on the dog's mouth and start pouring the contents of a nice big container of gravy... |
| 337 | ** A much earlier Looney Tunes short, "WesternAnimation/{{Pigs Is Pigs|1937}}", involves a greedy piglet -- an early version of the character who later became the iconic Porky Pig -- having a [[DreamSequence dream]] about a scientist who straps him to a machine that feeds him until has a BalloonBelly and then [[PopGoesTheHuman he eats one more piece of food, explodes]], wakes up, and [[IgnoredEpiphany doesn't really think about the dream and just goes on being gluttonous]]. |
| 338 | ** Yet another early Looney Tunes short, "Wholly Smoke", has a dream sequence of Porky being forced to consume chewing tobacco. |
| 339 | ** "A Tale of Two Mice", featuring the Creator/AbbottAndCostello expies Babbitt and Catstello, ends with Babbitt scoffing at the cheese Catstello has brought back for them: "You know I don't like Swiss cheese!" Castello slaps him about the head before shoving hunks of cheese into his mouth, saying, "Well, Babbitt, you're goin' ta' ''loin'' ta' like it, right now!" |
| 340 | * Played straight in ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'', to awful effect ("Fancy Pants"). |
| 341 | * The ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR''[='s=] oil gauge reads from "Empty", "Need a little", "Almost There", "Enough", "No really, I'm fine", and '''"PLEASE STOP!"''' |
| 342 | * There have been occasions in which Bluto has crammed a cup or even a full can of spinach down ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'''s throat. Guess how well that turned out for him. |
| 343 | ** This worked the other way in a cartoon where the two of them are trying to get themselves injured (unsuccessfully) to get admitted into the hospital and looked after by nurse Olive. Popeye finally gets the idea to pin Bluto down and force-feed him a can of spinach... Bluto becomes an uncontrollable fighting machine, demolishing a happily willing Popeye. |
| 344 | ** In a beach episode, Olive Oyl gets Popeye and Bluto to promise they won't fight.

They're then catapulted out of the village. |
| 348 | * An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheShnookumsAndMeatFunnyCartoonShow'' had them trying to get fit and ended up overdoing it. Their owners then had to start force-feeding them to return them to normal. The short ends with a typical BalloonBelly. |
| 349 | * Spoofed (possibly as a shout out to "Pigs Is Pigs" above) in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''' fourth HalloweenEpisode when Homer goes to Hell, having sold his soul for a donut. He is given an ironic punishment: eat all the donuts in the world. However, the punishment [[{{Unishment}} doesn't bother Homer]] as he just keeps growing fatter and fatter and fatter with no sign of displeasure. The torturer is left confused, as "James Coco went mad in 15 minutes". |
| 350 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': |
| 351 | ** In the episode "Pizza Delivery", when an UnsatisfiableCustomer who [[WrongRestaurant called the Krusty Krab for a pizza]] berates [=SpongeBob=] to the point of tears for forgetting a drink ''he didn't even order'', [[LazyBum Squidward]] [[EveryoneHasStandards is forced to step in]] and [[PetTheDog shoves the pizza into the ungrateful customer's face]]. |
| 352 | --->'''Ungrateful Customer:''' Another one?! Look, I told your little friend I ain't paying for that!\ |
| 353 | '''Squidward:''' Well, this one's on the house! ''[shoves the pizza into the customer's face]''\ |
| 354 | '''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Did he change his mind?\ |
| 355 | '''Squidward:''' He sure did; ate the whole thing in one bite. |
| 356 | ** "Squirrel Jokes" had Sandy Cheeks forcing huge amounts of water into Spongebob as revenge for getting popular on [[FantasticRacism jokes made at her expense]]. Being a sponge, however, it's relatively harmless. |
| 357 | ** "Krabby Land" had lima beans, for [=SpongeBob=] to entertain the kids, then Mr. Krabs after the kids see through his scam and steal their money back. |
| 358 | * ''WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs'': The Dawgs once tricked Fungus into thinking both stunt groups (Dawgs and Scabs) died. The Scabs were in hell (actually, a hell-based set) and under torture. Airball's torture was being forced to eat spinach. While the others learned their tortures were fake, Airball was desperate because the spinach was real. |

| 362 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': The three main characters are bound in chairs in the episode "Passion Patties" and force-fed the titular addictive cookies. The device is aptly named "The Feeder", which force-feeds its victims until they explode. Sam and Alex manage to avoid swallowing the cookies when Dr. Bittersweet (the villain who invented the device and made the addictive ingredient for the cookies) isn't looking but Clover, who's already hooked on the cookies, is a little too into it. At the end of the episode, [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine they get back at Bittersweet]] by forcing her to ingest a test tube filled with the ingredient that made her cookies so addictive in the first place. |
| 363 | -->'''Clover:''' ''[the Feeder feeds her a cookie after Bittersweet activates it]'' Yummy!\ |
| 364 | '''Dr. Inga Bittersweet:''' It's not "yummy", it's Death by Cookie!\ |
| 365 | '''Clover:''' Sorry. ''[secretly places a tracing barrette on Bittersweet's apron]'' |
| 366 | * ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'': As an inversion, an episode of the original series had Yogi being rewarded for restraining a runaway lion (Yogi thought he was being shipped to a zoo when it was the lion in this case)--Ranger Smith tells him to find himself a picnic basket. |
| 367 | -->'''Boo Boo:''' Why aren't you eating, Yogi?\ |
| 368 | '''Yogi:''' ''(dumbfounded)'' It's just not the same when the ranger knows about it. ''(brightening up)'' But I guess I'll just have to force myself! ''(starts eating happily)'' |

| 372 | * Force-feeding was used on hunger-striking suffragettes in turn of the (twentieth) century England. It made pretty good publicity for the cause. |
| 373 | ** A serious essay/article on the subject coming from the hunger strikes of the women's suffrage movement. [[http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/How_It_Feels_to_Be_Forcibly_Fed How It Feels to Be Forcibly Fed]] The general route was to feed them soup via a tube; this led to one unfortunate incident where the tube wasn't inserted correctly and the woman in question had soup poured into her lungs. |
| 374 | ** It wasn't just suffragettes who were force fed in England at that time. It was common procedure to force-feed any prisoner or mental patient (usually the later) who was refusing to eat. [[note]] Hence why the prisons already had the machines used on the suffragettes at hand[[/note]] In fact, the publicity caused by force-feeding the suffragettes is what led to the practise being ultimately banned in England. |
| 375 | * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras_controversy Foie gras]]. The waterfowl that get fed like this end up with a disease that makes their livers enlarge, and would kill them if they didn't get slaughtered. |
| 376 | * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peking_duck#Raising_the_duck Peking Duck]]. Force fed and shoved into a box where they can't move to fatten them up, meaning a duck only takes 60 days to get to 10 to 15 pounds. No, not 60 days of force feeding, ''60 days of life''. |
| 377 | * A form of water torture, called Water cure, where the victim is strapped to a bed and water is forced into his throat via a funnel in its mouth. The victims would constantly feel like choking, and they say sometimes their stomach could in fact burst. This is known as dry-drowning, and the victim undergoes what feels to them is an execution; they feel like they are dying. Modern version of waterboarding works specifically due to so-called "mammalian diving reflex" -- remember that you're always short of breath after washing your face with a cold water? That's it -- most mammals have a inborn reflex, where the touch of a cold water on a face (or any cold, for that) brings several unconscious reactions that improve our chance of survival if we're thrust into a water suddenly. The most significant of them is the involuntary blockage of breathing passages, so the waterboarding victims literally start to suffocate. |
| 378 | * One of the most common ways to silence the opposition in UsefulNotes/FascistItaly was to force dissidents into drinking massive amounts of castor oil, which is a powerful laxative. In many cases, this led to death by dehydration. |
| 379 | * A form of waterboarding, known as ''Schwedentrunk'', substituted nastier substances, such as boiling liquid, urine, excrement, liquid manure or sullage (waste-water) for regular water. |
| 380 | * Force-feeding was allegedly practiced in Guantanamo Bay on prisoners who "refuse[d] to eat". |
| 381 | * There's [[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/17/AR2005121700018.html an article]] where a man recounts how he went on a hunger strike while in a Moscow prison, and it was decided that he would be force-fed through the nose to break his will. |
| 382 | --->The feeding pipe was thick, thicker than my nostril, and would not go in. Blood came gushing out of my nose and tears down my cheeks, but they kept pushing until the cartilages cracked. I guess I would have screamed if I could, but I could not with the pipe in my throat. I could breathe neither in nor out at first; I wheezed like a drowning man -- my lungs felt ready to burst. The doctor also seemed ready to burst into tears, but she kept shoving the pipe farther and farther down. Only when it reached my stomach could I resume breathing, carefully. Then she poured some slop through a funnel into the pipe that would choke me if it came back up. They held me down for another half-hour so that the liquid was absorbed by my stomach and could not be vomited back, and then began to pull the pipe out bit by bit. |
| 383 | * This is important in scaphism, a Persian method of torturous execution. The malefactor is force-fed milk and honey to induce severe diarrhea while his body is in two narrow boats that lock together like a coffin, forcing him to swim in his own filth. Only his face, hands, and feet are exposed. Milk and honey are smeared onto the exposed parts to attract insects that sting and feed on him. As he becomes increasingly gangrenous, the force-feeding continues to prolong his agony and prevent him from dying of starvation or dehydration while worsening his diarrhea. In turn, more insects will get attracted to the offensive odor and accumulating manure. He will eventually die from sepsis. |
| 384 | * Often necessary with injured, ill or orphaned animals in order to keep them alive. Sometimes food can simply be carefully pushed into the mouth or throat to induce swallowing, but a tube may be required for other cases. Vets can use iv feedings as well at times. |
| 385 | * Slaves would sometimes be forced fed if they refused to eat during the Middle Passage, to try and keep them alive to sell at the end. A common tool used to pry the mouth open was the speculum. |
