* In ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'', the protagonist Youko is a half-vampire, so the usual vampire weaknesses are underplayed for laughs. In case of garlic, it simply makes her eyes sting. However, we later meet her full-blooded father, and his reaction is pretty much the same, only exaggerated.

* At one point in ''Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt'', Van Helsing tries to protect Lucy from vampiric attack by filling her room with so much garlic that the smell would drive just about anyone away whether they're undead or not. It works in the short term - Dracula is unable to enter her room, and has to resort to alternative methods to get to Lucy.

* ''Series/ForeverKnight''. Don Schanke has been chewing garlic, and [[YouNeedABreathMint as a practical joke breathes on his partner]] Nick Knight who unknown to him is a VampireDetective. Nick visibly staggers, to Schanke's amusement. Nick is also shown trying garlic pills that Natalie has given him in an attempt to ween him off his vampirism, only to regurgitate them immediately.

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p60e2GG6Ays One Canadian Cheese commercial]] in the late-90's had Mina cook Dracula a lovely three-cheese casserole, containing "...a single clove of garlic!" as its final ingredient. Dracula has just swallowed, and has an expression you'd expect from [[IAteWhat someone with a severe allergy who's just been told a half-second too late.]]

* ''Wemcomic/RosiannaRabbit'' has a strip where Harry Hare is a vampire and tries to bite a sleeping Rosianna, only to find out that she's used garlic spray to keep him away. After noticing that she is presently wearing a tampon, Harry settles for instead feeding on Rosianna's menstrual blood, the final panel showing him flying out the window, smiling in content at the satisfaction of earning his red wings.

* In ''WebComic/KevinAndKell'', when Desdemona, a vampire bat (analogous to vampires in this WorldOfFunnyAnimals), was asked if vampire bats are repelled by garlic, she replies that they actually aren't, it's just that garlic breath messes up a bat's sonar, so that's how the myth got started.

* ''Literature/UniversalMonsters'': In book 1, Captain Bob tries to use this against a vampirized Devin Chavarria. Unfortunately, she's able to keep him from hitting her with it. It later helps against Dracula in bat form, but less so when he attacks the Chavarria house; Captain Bob then uses it successfully in the penultimate battle, as it burns him. It's also found that putting garlic and a cross around Devin, while she's unconscious, will start to revert her to human. They have to stay in place or she'll start to turn back though.

* Garlic is a weapon option in ''VideoGame/VampireSurvivors'', though its efficacy against vampires is questionable, given that [[NonIndicativeName no vampires appear in the game.]] At any rate, Garlic generates a damaging aura around the player character -- not enough to do much against mid- or lategame enemies, but enough to easily handle the CannonFodder at the start of a run -- and also increases foes' susceptibility to KnockBack or freeze effects, which can combo nicely with other weapons. Garlic can also evolve into the Soul Eater, becoming so pungent that it gains a LifeDrain effect.
