* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Uaid often eats squirrels, birds and annoying men but as his entire torso has been replaced with a large metal carriage and he never chews the biggest danger is the fall, or the other occupants, with being eaten only a traumatic surprise.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', both Yoshi and Kirby have this as their {{Signature Move}}s. In their original games, their eating moves were fatal and would see them turned into an inert egg or fully absorbed to [[PowerCopying steal their power]]. In this game they simply pop out of the egg or as a star in a moment, only having taken a small amount of damage from it.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' has the anime-only Forest Wolf card, a three star monster with the disproportionately high attack of 1800, with the effect "If this card destroys a monster by battle, equip that monster to this card. When this card is destroyed, Special Summon all monsters equipped to this card by this effect to their owners' sides of the field." It's an obvious pastiche of The Big Bad Wolf, as when it attacks it instead swallows its target whole, and defeating it frees the devoured monster and allows them to continue fighting.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HomeAdventuresWithTipAndOh'', Tip tries to get a funny picture of herself holding open the mouth of a large 3-eyed hippo-like animal, but it swallows her before Oh can take the picture...and then farts as her head pops out its rear end just fine, disgusting her. She gets fully out offscreen.

* ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie'': '[[Recap/TucaAndBertieS3E3TheOneWhereBertieGetsEatenByASnake The One Where Bertie Gets Eaten By A Snake]]' features ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. When Bertie, and eventually Tuca, get swallowed, it only hinders them as much as being wrapped in a full body latex suit would. The snakes let them go about their day, and after a while harmlessly pass them and leave.

* In ''Film/MenInBlack2'', Serleena accidentally flies her ship into the giant worm Jeff's mouth. She not only gets swallowed, but is chewed up by a whole gullet's worth of teeth, yet she survives and manages to infect Jeff and kill him from the inside. Granted she's a plant alien who previously regenerated [[FromASingleCell from a single bud]].

At this point, one of two things might happen. [[KillItThroughItsStomach Either the monster is slashed open from the inside]] or the outside, and the hero escapes unharmed (and usually quite clean), or else he does something to cause the monster indigestion, [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth and get vomited back out]]. For bonus humor, [[ThatsNoMoon they may not even be aware they were inside the monster's gut]] until they provoke this dyspesia.

** The third dungeon of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' takes place inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly. The only reason it's dangerous is because of the corrupting influence of Barinade, as Princess Ruto claims she's been going inside Jabu-Jabu's belly since she was little but only now is it dangerous because of the monsters and "strange holes everywhere." Even when Jabu-Jabu swallows Link against his will, Link is left completely unharmed and can even leave and return whenever he wants.

* The [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier nachzehrer]] in [[VideoGame/BattleBrothers]] grow stronger by eating the bodies of the dead, whether they be your brothers or their former allies. Full-sized ones, which have eaten at least two bodies, can go on to consume the flesh of the living, [[EatenAlive swallowing your brothers whole]]. These bros can be rescued by killing the nachzehrer, leaving them slimy but no worse for wear, but if the nachzehrer - [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere or the adventuring party]] - flees the battle, they're lost in the belly of the beast for good.

* The [[BossBattle Boss Battles]] in ''Videogame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'' normaly start once [[TheDragon Kamek]] massively increases the size of a regular {{Mook}} via magic. However, at one point Kamek does not do this. Instead he shrinks Yoshi with Baby Mario and both are immediately eaten in one piece by a frog. The entire boss battle takes place inside the stomach of the frog and the only immediate danger for the duo are some drops of stomach acid. Yoshi has to defeat the frog by [[KillItThroughItsStomach attacking his uvula]].

* In the children's book "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A Hippopotamus Ate The Teacher]]", the titular teacher, Ms. Jones, survives inside a hippo's stomach for presumably a week, and even teaches the class from inside it. At the end, the students are available to get her out, and she's perfectly fine.

* Myth/NativeAmericanMythology: In one Mamaceqtaw and Ojibwe story, Nanabozho is swallowed, canoe and all, by a gigantic fish-monster. He kills the fish from inside and then survives long enough to escape after seagulls eat holes in the carcass. This story was adapted in ''Literature/TheSongOfHiawatha'', comprising canto VIII.



* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': In "Doomy Tales of the Macabre", the "doomy fate" of The Cheat and Strong Mad is for the latter to accidentally [[SwallowedWhole swallow the former whole]] while gorging on Halloween candy. Strong Bad protests that isn't "macab-er", because Strong Mad eats The Cheat all the time with no ill effect: "How do you think we give him baths?"

While describing the experience as "[[TakeOurWordForIt unspeakable]]," Strong Bad is also pretty much in one piece afterward.
