--> Mommy, mommy! When are we going to have Aunt Edna for dinner?
--> Shut up, we haven’t even finished your grandmother yet.

* One episode of the obscure ''Series/LoveAndCurses'' opens with witches working in a pizza shop with obnoxious customers. They turn the customers into fish, pop them directly into a frying pan, and add 'Carp Pizza' to the menu blackboard.

* On ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', Kramer starts using butter as shaving cream, then as body lotion. When he stays out in the sun too long and starts to cook, Newman gets cannibalistic cravings. Well, not so much cannibalism, as he [[MeatOVision sees Kramer as a giant turkey, with Kramer's head]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3OXqRciinw "Comin' Back for More"]] by CW [=McCall=], very loosely based on the case of Alferd Packer, the only person ever to be prosecuted for cannibalism in the US. [[note]]Prosecuted but not actually convicted, Packer insisted that it was another in the group who attempted to eat people. And there's a rumor that he became a vegetarian before he died.[[/note]]

* In ''Anime/{{Pokemon}},'' during Sun & Moon, Sophocles and company watch as the dead remains of a bunch of Minior float up into space, having reached the end of their short lifespans. As everyone feels down in the dumps, suddenly, Rayquaza shows up in the sky, and everyone immediately forgets about the downer of an event by admiring its sudden "unexplained" appearance, brightening them all up. The kicker? None of them, even their own ''teacher'' who should know better, knows that Rayquaza appeared for a very good reason: ''it likes eating meteorite dust.'' Sophocles and the rest are utterly left in the dark his Minior's remains will turn into a space turd.

* Creator/{{CS188}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcMAoi0-Je8 Paula Peen Consumes Family Members on the FooF Network]] uses ManipulativeEditing, as is typical of WebAnimation/YoutubePoop, to make it seem like Paula Deen is cooking her grandmother.

* Pops up a few times in the WebAnimation/YoutubePoop "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INa_SYywZis Of or Belonging to Arby]]", through the magic of ManipulativeEditing.

* The ''Barracuda'' miniseries in Creator/MarvelMAX ends on this trope, topping off a series that was already founded on BlackComedy. The series ends with Barracuda and his on-off porn actress love interest stranded in a rubber raft after all their plans have crashed and burned due to sheer random chance. When the actress wonders what they're going to eat since the raft has no supplies, Barracuda implies that he's going to eat her.

* At one point in ''LightNovel/ElegantYokaiApartmentLife'', one of the birds says he finds ''yakitori'' delicious. The other two are somewhat taken aback, but then all three of them act like nothing happened.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Society of the Blind Eye", a group of gnomes try to steal one of Lazy Susan's pies, and the leader threatens to eat his fellow gnomes if they can't get the pie.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', all your companions will have reactions to you cannibalizing a corpse in their presence, and they're all hilarious. Your TokenHeroicOrc companion even recommendeds the tastiest parts to try.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', all your companions will have reactions to you cannibalizing a corpse in their presence, and they're all hilarious.

* This is the premise of the ''WebVideo/FrenchBaguetteIntelligence'' video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH4CnfkTYPI "Vegan Cannibalism is the Future"]]. It starts with Harry insisting that he is eating a vegan diet [[YouKeepUsingThatWord because he only eats vegans]]. It only goes downhill from there - here is an excerpt:

'''Harry:''' Why would I hate that? I am on a [[YouKeepUsingThatWord vegan diet]]. I would never go hungry again.\\

* On Wiki/ThisVeryWiki, there are tropes with such names as NoPartyLikeADonnerParty and JustEatGilligan.

* In the song "Timothy" by TheBuoys the singer is lamenting the loss of his friend Timothy, who it's very strongly implied was eaten by the singer and another man while they were all stuck in a caved-in mine.

A common variant is the gag where the characters are [[CapturedByCannibals captured]] by a CannibalTribe and placed in a [[CannibalCauldron pot]] to be StewedAlive, accompanied with [[YouWontLikeHowITaste lots of wisecracking]] [[RegretEatingMe and/or corny byplay]], and possibly a ''lot'' of puns.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' episode "[[Recap/JackieChanAdventuresS1E10TheJadeMonkey The Jade Monkey]]", the Dark Hand have Jackie tied up and are trying to decide on what animal to turn him into using the Monkey Talisman. When they settle on turning him into an animal that they can eat, Jackie pleads that doing so would constitute cannibalism.

* The controversial song "Congo Man" by Trinidadian calypso artist Mighty Sparrow (real name [[AwesomeMcCoolname Slinger Francisco]]) gives this treatment to a tale of two white women CapturedByCannibals in DarkestAfrica, complete with an [[LyricalDissonance incongruously upbeat-sounding tune]].

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' contains the story of Skabbicus, a Skaven slave who led his fellow slaves in revolt against the brutal Council of Thirteen and was on the verge of succeeding, until the Council had the devious idea to promise a pardon and reward to any slave who pointed out their. It is said that over [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder ten thousand]] slaves [[TooDumbToLive did exactly that]].

** Jack Sparrow gets CapturedByCannibals who intend to make him a meal. HilarityEnsues with his attempts to escape, including at one point resigning himself to his fate and sprinkling himself with steak seasoning.

** A darker example occurs when Will Turner asks what happened to the rest of the crew and Gibbons explains the cages made of human bones the cannibals had them locked in weren't there at the beginning...

* Black comedy ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'' fic "[[http://www.thekeep.org/~mike/ucc.txt Ukyo Can Cook!]]" is all about this trope.
