History Main / ForceFeeding

* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': The three main characters are bound in chairs in the episode "Passion Patties" and force-fed addictive cookies. The device is aptly named "The Feeder". Sam and Alex manage to avoid swallowing the cookies when the villain isn't looking but Clover, who's already hooked on the cookies, is a little too into it.

** "Squirrel Jokes" had Sandy Cheeks forcing huge amounts of water into Spongebob as revenge for getting popular on [[FantasticRacisim jokes made at her expense]]. Being a sponge, however, it's relatively harmless.

** Another example had lima beans.

'''Dr. Bittersweet:''' It's not "yummy", it's Death by Cookie!\\
'''Clover:''' Sorry.

* One nightmare sequence in Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet5TheDreamChild'', Freddy force-feeds Greta to death (in the uncut version, he is [[{{Autocannibalism}} feeding her her own insides]]).

A person is restrained and possibly put into a straitjacket, or strapped to a chair. A funnel/tube may be put in their mouth and something like raw eggs mixed with milk or some other [[StockYuck yucky]] (or worse, poisonous/plagued/rotten) mess, or medication/drugs is forced down the victim's throat into their stomach, possibly causing their stomach to get bigger as the torture continues. Sometimes, there is no physical force involved at all because in that particular case, threats are just as effective. May cause NauseaFuel, for both the person being force-fed and for people actually watching it happen. And, of course, NightmareFuel should not be ruled out ... nor should {{fetish}}. Its potential consequences are [[BalloonBelly both]] [[PopGoesTheHuman obvious]].

* WesternAnimation/YogiBear'': As an inversion, an episode of the original series had Yogi being rewarded for restraining a runaway lion (Yogi thought he was being shipped to a zoo when it was the lion in this case)--Ranger Smith tells him to find himself a picnic basket.

'''Yogi:''' (''dumbfounded'') It's just not the same when the ranger knows about it. (''brightening up'') But I guess I'll just have to force myself! (''starts eating happily'')

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': The episode "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS2ETheBigClamUp The Big Clam-Up]]" had all the Planeteers save Ma-Ti (who had been left behind due to his obsession with a detective series) bound to chairs, about to be force-fed the same polluted food that had put the victims of the week in the hospital. Then Ma-Ti kicks open the door and causes the villain's lobsters to upset the plan.

** This worked the other way in a cartoon where the two of them are trying to get themselves injured (unsuccessfully) to get admitted into the hospital and looked after by nurse Olive. Popeye finally gets the idea to pin Bluto down and force-feed him a can of spinach...Bluto becomes an uncontrollable fighting machine, demolishing a happily willing Popeye.

* ''Film/DasExperiment'': The Guards are given very specific instructions that the Prisoners are to finish their meals. However, one prisoner is lactose intolerant so he cannot consume the standard-issue milk cartons without getting sick (implying that the Professor in charge of the experiment either DidntThinkThisThrough and asked the subjects about any allergies or he deliberately inserted this problem to see how the subjects would respond). The guards decide to hold the prisoner down and force the drink down his throat.

* In the film ''Film/DoubleDragon'' a bad guy gets force fed spinach through a funnel as torture.

* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': Deconstructed in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue59 Pie in the Sky". Pinkie Pie constantly forces Rainbow Dash, who [[DoesNotLikeSpam hates pies]], to eat her pies so she'll like them. This later angers Rainbow enough to make Pinkie sit through her favorite pastimes just to give ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine. Pinkie doesn't get the message until Rainbow gives her an ArmorPiercingQuestion, ''finally'' making her see what a jerk she was in completely ignoring her friend's feelings and invalidating her wishes for disliking pies.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': The episode "Roy Rogers [=McFreely=]" has Roger getting pissed off at Stan when he doesn't buy grenadine for him to mix with warm cola and make a Roy Rogers, because he hates it. Later on, Roger gets his revenge on Stan by pouring cola and grenadine down his throat.

* Mentioned, but not used in ''Manga/DearBrother'': Nanako learns about [[spoiler: Mariko's [[ImNotHungry hunger strike]]]] when speaking to the latter's mother, who tells her that [[spoiler: her daughter has been refusing to eat for days and she was actually planning to force-feed her]]... but it didn't happen since by that point [[spoiler: Mariko has been hospitalised due to her self-inflicted malnourishment.]]

* There have been occasions in which Bluto has crammed a cup or even a full can of spinach down WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'s throat. [[WhatAnIdiot Guess how well that turned out for him]].

* The premise of the 2005 Australian horror film ''Film/{{Feed}}''. A cop investigates a fetish website wherein obese women are held captive, force-fed, and raped while the site participants bet on how long they'll live.

* In another [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1995/10/16 strip]] Jon recalls how he flirted with a pretty girl: "Our eyes met. She smiled sweetly. Then her boyfriend made me eat my socks."

* A Literature/{{Goosebumps}} book, "Attack Of The Jack-O'-Lanterns", took place during Hallowe'en. Two of the characters appear to be kids who are friends of the protagonists, wearing pumpkin masks over their whole head. They take the protagonists and the bullies who are forcing them to trick or treat with them, to a hidden suburb behind a forest where ''everybody'' has a pumpkin head. The Pumpkin Head kids force the other kids to take as much candy as they can carry in pillow cases, then eat ''everything'' in the bag. Then, they try to force the kids to go for more. [[spoiler: The bullies run off and leave the protagonists, but the pumpkin heads turn out to be superpowered aliens who are the protagonists friends.]] But then, [[spoiler: after they laugh at the bullies running scared, they admit that they actually eat fat adults, but the protagonist is not old enough or ''fat enough'' yet.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': The episode "The Big Clam-Up" had all the Planeteers save Ma-Ti (who had been left behind due to his obsession with a detective series) bound to chairs, about to be force-fed the same polluted food that had put the victims of the week in the hospital. Then Ma-Ti kicks open the door and causes the villain's lobsters to upset the plan.

** It wasn't just suffragettes who were force fed in England at that time. It was common procedure to force-feed any prisoner or mental patient (usually the later) who was refusing to eat. [[note]] Hence why the prisons already had the machines used on the suffragettes at hand[[/note]] In fact, the puplicity caused by force-feeding the suffragettes is what led to the practise being ultimatly band in England.

* There was also this weird cartoon called Shnookums and Meat about a pet cat and dog that were trying to get fit and ended overdoing it. Their owners then had to start force-feeding them to return them to normal. The short ends with a typical BalloonBelly.
