History Main / ConeOfShame

* ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'': Dudley has to wear one so he won't scratch at the [[GrossUpCloseUp horrible red rash]] on his butt.

* In Episode 6 of WesternAnimation/MonsterBeach, the werewolf Mutt is put in one for not resisting the urge to bite his wounded leg, much to his chagrin. The cone intensifies his canine hearing, making him able to read the radio signals of alien invaders... which is actually just an advertisment for a sci-fi convention.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Even platypuses aren't immune. Perry has to wear one for most of the morning, which is so big that it keeps him from entering his lair, and subsequently, from thwarting Doofenschmirtz.

* Relius Clover of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' will subject Jubei to wearing one of these in his Astral Heat. It should be noted that Jubei is not only an anthropomorphic house cat but also FamedInStory as possibly ''the strongest warrior in the entire world''.

** Eventually, Alpha [[spoiler:gets a loudspeaker funnel stuffed onto his head that causes him to look like he's wearing one too. Subsequently he loses control of the pack]].

* On ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', monsters who undergo decontamination by the CDA end up wearing one.

[[TropeyTheWonderDog Tropey, stop biting that!]] You're going to pull out the stitches! I mean it! C'mere you!

These devices often take the form of a large white plastic cone, though a [[http://www.allfourpaws.com/ variety]] [[http://www.dogsupplies.com/products/Kong-Cloud-Inflatable-Soft-E-Collar.html of]] [[http://www.provizorinternational.com/dogs.html alternatives]] to this design are on the market. The typical "funnel" design is preferred in fiction because it's... well, funny. Not only does it make the wearer look pathetic and reduces their peripheral vision, it opens the door for slapstick gags like bouncing off chairs, getting stuck in the pet door, or simply battering their owners' shins.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'', Mr. Peanutbutter wears one at the beginning of season 2, due to drunkenly punching a mirror thinking it was another dog. He has an additional problem other than the cone making him look ridiculous; because he's anthromorphic, and doesnt walk on all fours like a normal dog, the cone blocks off pretty much his whole field of vision, leaving him with what little he can see over the top edge of the cone.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': When Mr. Burns' slant oil drill ruins Bart's treehouse (with him & Santa's Little Helper inside), SLH is reduced to wearing one of these while in a doggie-wheelchair. Grampa mistakes him for a lamp.

* In ''ComicStrip/LibertyMeadows'' Oscar wears one briefly after being neutered. Though when he first came out of anaesthesia Leslie couldn't find any so he [[http://www.gocomics.com/libertymeadows/2008/06/04 improvised]].

* A deleted scene from ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' shows one of the heads of a runespoor, a three-headed snake, wearing one of these.
-->'''Newt:''' You know exactly why you're wearing it. You stop biting the others and it'll come off.

* The protagonist of ''Literature/ADogsPurpose'' is put into one several times during his several lives. He finds it very embarrassing.

* One of the new interns in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' tries putting one of these on a mentally ill patient to stop him biting the bandages on his hands. She is told to stop it. She did this because she considered it ''more'' humane than tying the man down, which she eventually resorts too.

* The dog in the video for [[Music/TheOffspring The Offspring's]] "Hit That" ends up in one of these, presumably after being neutered.
* The artwork for the ''Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge'' song "Domesticated Animals" shows [[https://format-com-cld-res.cloudinary.com/image/private/s--SotCgYpX--/c_limit,g_center,h_65535,w_2500/fl_keep_iptc.progressive,q_95/v1/030de9b6f3f19d68ae84495daf78f732/Domesticated.jpg?1086 a human man in one]].

* Cricket, one of the cats in ''Webcomic/JohnnyWander'', once [[http://www.johnnywander.com/comic/party-cone had to wear one]] after getting spayed. The AltText even reads "but seriously, the thing is bright pink and covered in glitter."
* ''Webcomic/BreakingCatNews'': "[[http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/the-people-dressed-elvis-up-like-a-lamp/ The People Dressed Elvis Up Like a Lamp.]]" This causes the other two cats great hilarity. Elvis is really not amused.

* ''WebVideo/CreamHeroes'': Lala wears one in ''Cats vs Glass Dome''. Sadly it interferes with her ability to push the glass off the plate so Claire removes the dome and gives her the food anyway. In another video, Lala complains because the cone stops her from jumping on the kitchen counter where she likes to 'watch' Claire make food.
** Toto and Dodo wear one after being neutered, although Claire does cut the cone down and tape it so they will be more comfortable and will be able to eat and drink more easily. Toto doesn't take too kindly to it but not only does it take ''three'' attempts to get it on Dodo, he goes into a huge, angry sulk afterward.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Even platypuses aren't immune. Perry has to wear one for most of the morning, which is so big that it keeps him from entering his lair, and subsequently, from thwarting Doofenschmirtz.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' episode "Cone Dog", Dog gets one of these, and Cat discovers that he can hear people at a distance due to it. He uses this ability to outsmart Winslow at first, but is soon blackmailing everyone in Nearburg about their secrets, and then getting DrunkWithPower and becoming emperor of Nearburg, then the world, using the citizens of Nearburg as slaves to build his empire under the threat of revealing their secrets. All the while, Dog is put into cones of ever-increasing size, and by the end of the episode, the cone around his neck is gigantic. He eventually gets out of the cone when he can take no more and joins the people of Nearburg in an uprising against Cat (which involves revealing their secrets - they all wear pink bunny suits. Yes, it's a bizarre episode).
* In ''WesternAnimation/FatherOfThePride'' Hunter wore one all the time. Why isn't explained aside from one throwaway line in the unaired pilot about a rash.

* Timmy the Dog had to wear one of these in the ''Famous Five'' adventure ''Five on a Secret Trail''.

* In a series of strips that were printed several years later, Wally was again in one (this time a traditionally-attached cone that covered his entire head). He asked for coffee to be poured in.

-->'''Martin:''' Aw, look at him! He's humiliated!\\
'''Daphne:''' True. Although I've noticed that if you put him on top of the telly, Channel 5 comes in clear as a bell.[[note]] This becomes a BrickJoke that reaches its payoff in TheTag.[[/note]]
* In "The Cone Ranger" on ''Series/CutthroatKitchen'', the final challenge is to make ice cream cones and one of the sabotages involves making the opposing chef wear this. It sells for only $500 because the other chef is determined to leave with $25,000, even though he's already been sabotaged by having to mix his ice cream in traffic cones.
