History Main / ConeOfShame

* ''WebVideo/CreamHeroes'':

* [[BelagueredAssistant Bitzer]] from ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep'' found himself wearing wearing this twice in "Pig Trouble" and the appropriately titled "Cone of Shame"- both times because he couldn't stop chewing the bandages- or in the former episode's case- his leg cast- the doctor made him wear.

* ''Webcomic/{{Mohagen}}'' has the title character (a goldfish) [[http://mohagencomic.com/2011/08/22/137-hes-from-france/ forced to wear such a cone]] for a few strips because of ichthyophthirius (it's kind of like a rash). He encounters problem like reduced vision field, sneezing propelling him backward, the cone working as a receiver from a nearby Xbox chatter, and getting feedback on his phone.

* ''ComicStrip/GetFuzzy'' uses this a few times. It's called "cone of shame" by name.

* [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2020/04/19 A strip]] for ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' has Odie dream about the rest of the main cast wearing one and being inconvenienced by the cones they're wearing.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Even platypuses aren't immune. Perry has to wear one in "Hail Doofania!", which is so big that it keeps him from entering his lair, and subsequently, from thwarting Doofenschmirtz.

* One of the joke gifts available as DLC for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' is one of these. It's the only thing that will lower the Mabari hound's approval rating for the Warden, and lowers his morale when equipped.

* The ''Exploding Kittens'' expansion introduces changing the direction of play...and includes a full size cone with arrows to depict turn rotation, called the ''Exploding Kittens Cone of Shame.'' The first player to lose track of whose turn it is has to wear the Cone for the rest of the game.

* In ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'', Ruff has to wear one when he breaks his leg while dancing on a fence in a attempt to imitate his "Action to the Maxion" action figure, to prove that the toy is based on him. At the end of the episode, he's force to wear and even BIGGER cone that covers his entire face except his ears.

* [[https://garfield.com/comic/2020/04/19 A strip]] for ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' has Odie dream about the rest of the main cast wearing one and being inconvenienced by the cones they're wearing.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' episode "Muffin Cone", Bluey's cousin Muffin is put in one to keep from sucking her thumb. Like Mr Peanutbutter, the dogs in ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' are anthropomorphic, and Muffin has trouble seeing with the cone on too.

In veterinary practice, the Elizabethan Collar (known colloquially as an "e-collar," "lampshade,", "cone of shame", or "pet radar dish,") has the purpose of promoting healing of a wound or lesion by preventing the animal from messing with it. It's very effective. However, there is one big problem with this device...

* The dog in the video for Music/TheOffspring's "Hit That" ends up in one of these, presumably after being neutered.

* In one episode of Marvel's webcomic ''Webcomic/ItsJeff'', Jeff the [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter baby land shark]] is put in a cone of shame (referred to as a 'cone of doom' in the title) after injuring his tail. Predictably, he hates it, but can't escape. He's a little happier after a garden hose is used to fill the cone.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}} Sun and Moon'' [=SM007=] has Litten end up in a Cone of Shame after a fight with an Alolan Persian. InUniverse, it is referred to as a "Heliolisk Collar" (Heliolisk being a lizard-like Pokemon with an expandable frill on its neck). When it tries to escape still wearing the cone, it's foiled by a fence which has bars the cone cannot fit through.

* Rowlf wears one in his first appearance in ''Series/TheMuppets'' (episode 3 "Bear Left Then Bear Right"). Since he has hands, he's later shown having removed it so he can bite his stitches.

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, [[RuleOfFunny funny]]. Not only does it make the wearer look pathetic and reduce their peripheral vision, it also opens the door for slapstick gags like bouncing off chairs, getting stuck in the pet door, or simply battering their owners' shins.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', Bubbles is reduced to having to wear one of these after being stung in the throat by a bee.
