-->Stephanie: "Listen, I... I'd like to apologize. You know, for my meltdown"
-->Mia: "Meltdown? What meltdown?"
-->Emma: "We didn't notice any meltdown."
-->Olivia: "Unless you mean when you force fed us cake until we begged for mercy and then yelled at us to get out."

Sam and Alex manage to avoid swallowing the cookies when Dr. Bittersweet (the villain who invented the device and made the addictive ingredient for the cookies) isn't looking but Clover, who's already hooked on the cookies, is a little too into it. At the end of the episode, [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine they get back at Bittersweet]] by forcing her to ingest a test tube filled with the ingredient that made her cookies so addictive in the first place.
-->'''Clover:''' ''[the Feeder feeds her a cookie after Bittersweet activates it]'' Yummy!\\

Peter delicately brushes a strawberry across Lois' lips before feeding it to her; she does the same thing to Peter with another strawberry; then Peter produces a giant slice of watermelon and jams it into her mouth until she's gagging and spitting out seeds.

* The Walter Lantz short "Apple Andy" where Andy Panda's evil side tricks him into eating green apples (as in, unripe apples painted red) until Andy gets sick and collapses.

* There have been occasions in which Bluto has crammed a cup or even a full can of spinach down WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'s throat. Guess how well that turned out for him.
** 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.
** In a beach episode, Olive Oyl gets Popeye and Bluto to promise they won't fight.

* A comedic example in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. Joker is doing a commercial for his new brand of Joker Fish and tries to get Harley to eat one to show how good they are.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', Jack befriends a village of peaceful creatures who have to deal with mauaraders who like to invade them and steal their food.

They're then catapulted out of the village.
* John Kricfalusi's 1988 reboot of ''WesternAnimation/BeanyAndCecil'' led our heroes and Dishonest John on a quest to find a Mystic Menu, which provided whatever delicacy the wisher asked for. In the meantime, Captain Huffenpuff and Crowy have to consume vast quantities of food dishes to keep from angering the native waitresses as the Captain's face is featured on the natives' stone idol, and they take him to be their god.
* ''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 cola and make a Roy Rogers, simply because he hates the drink. Later on, Roger gets his revenge on Stan by pouring cola and grenadine down his throat.

%%* ''Film/IDrinkYourBlood'' (blood)

* Part of the schtick of the evil Jiuxian Witch from ''Film/TheDevilsMirror'' is by having her force-feed her victims Corpse Worm Pills, poisoning them fatally with their [[FacialHorror faces melted]] ''alive''.

* In ''Film/HocusPocus'', the witches force various people to drink their potions.
* The last surviving character in ''Film/{{Cornered}}'' is killed by being force-fed donuts, his favorite food.
* This is the entire premise of ''Film/TheHumanCentipede'' and its sequels, in what is possibly the [[{{Squick}} most disturbing way possible]]. The details have been put in spoiler tags not because it's actually a spoiler (it's the main hook of the films, in fact), but for BrainBleach reasons: [[spoiler:each film is about a madman who [[BodyHorror sews people together mouth-to-anus]] in order to create a being with a single digestive tract. Yep -- save for the "head" of the centipede, everybody is force-fed the fecal matter of all the people in front of them.]] And in each film, the "feeding" scene is the main horror set piece.

* In ''Film/{{Suffragette}}'', this is done to the Suffragettes when they go on a hunger strike to enforce treatment as political prisoners. And not out of concern over their wellbeing; it is mentioned that if the suffrage movement had a martyr that would be bad for the government.

* ''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 never asked the candidates 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 ''[[Film/LesVisiteurs Les Visiteurs II: The Corridors of Time]]'', when Jacquart (Creator/ChristianClavier) is stranded in [[TheMiddleAges 1123]] after an involuntary TimeTravel, he's tortured on an inquisitor's orders by being forced to drink gallons and gallons of water, which makes his belly inflate cartoonishly. And he can't stop urinating once he's freed from that ordeal.
* In ''Film/TheKillingKind'', Terry visits the home of Rhea Benson, the attorney who failed to get him a reduced sentence. In a deranged state, Terry forces her at knifepoint to ingest a significant amount of alcohol. When she falls unconscious, Terry lights her house on fire, burning her alive.

* One of Baron Ryoval's torture methods in ''Literature/MirrorDance'', but the victim, Mark Vorkosigan, is TooKinkyToTorture because of his SplitPersonality.
-->'''Technician''': I hate to be the one to tell you this, Baron, but your torture victim appears to be having a wonderful time.
* In ''[[Literature/KnightAndRogueSeries The Last Knight]]'', a quasi-MadScientist character force-feeds the main character potions to give him magical powers. She also tests the potions on her mentally ill servants, but tries to justify it because, to her mind, they just don't understand that she's trying to help them.

He drowns.
* ''Literature/AmericanGirlsCollection'': In the first Addy book, the slave driver makes her eat slugs off the tobacco plants.
* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'', there is a portion where [[spoiler:Harry has to force Dumbledore to drink goblet after goblet of unpleasant poison. To be fair, Dumbledore told him he would probably have to do so, and asked him to, and Harry doesn't end up forcing it down as much as pushily coaxing him to drink, but that doesn't make it any less creepy.]]
* Morbidly done in the ''Franchise/StarWars: Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' series, where the book's villain force-feeds a minor character poisonous berries, killing him so that he can be used in the man's experiments for a ZombieApocalypse.
* Another ''Star Wars'' novel, ''The Mandalorian Armor'' shows that if Boba Fett is paid to bring you in alive, starving yourself to death will just make him force feed you.

* Gaius Baltar is subjected to this as part of his pre-torture by the Colonials on ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' when he was refusing to eat, though we don't actually see it.

As was often the case, he sort of deserved the rough treatment, but was actually innocent of much of what the torturers were asking about.

* A particularly scary version of this occurs in the anime ''Manga/ShadowStar'', which is pretty much a horror show all on its own. A girl named Hiroko is frequently harassed by a trio of cruel bullies (and [[PeerPressureMakesYouEvil a reluctant one]]) and on one occasion is ''forced to ingest a bunch of worms from inside a test-tube'' which she quickly vomits back up.
** In the manga Hiroko is only scared into swallowing one worm, but not actually force fed it. A straight example occurs later in the revenge when [[spoiler: Hiroko's Dragon, Oni, grabs Aki Honda (the bully leader) by the head; palm facing her mouth and starts producing worms that she has to swallow until her stomach bulges visibly. Then he rapes and kills her.]] *Shudders*
* Played for laughs in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' where Ranma comes up with a [[MartialArtsAndCrafts martial arts technique]] that involves force feeding everyone else the food on his plate (ItMakesSenseInContext).
** Then there was the time that [[DirtyOldMan Happosai]] was injured to the point of having a full bodycast. Naturally, Ranma Saotome snatches up the golden opportunity to [[JustForPun dish out]] a little pay-back. So what does he do? He force-feeds him ''[[LethalChef Akane]] [[CordonBleughChef Tendo's]] cooking.'' [[ColdBloodedTorture Now that's just cruel...]]

* In chapter 6 of ''Manga/SakuraGari'' Sakurako tries to literally force a tied-up Tagami to eat some of the food she made for him. He's reluctant to do so because the last time she fed him something, she had secretly snuck in some glass. This time the food has nothing, but Sakurako is still pretty scary.
* Ren from ''Manga/SkipBeat'' tends to [[ForgetsToEat forget to eat]] since he was often force-fed as a child by his [[MyBelovedSmother Beloved Smother]] to the point that he was unable to breathe.

* In ''Manga/ArakawaUnderTheBridge'' this is Nino's idea of hospitality.
* In one of the Manga/GalaxyExpress999 movies, Anime/CaptainHarlock forces a mechanised thug to down a pint of mink.
* In ''Manga/AngelSanctuary'' Rosiel force feeds Katan one of his undeath-granting feathers to keep him alive.
* When we see Mozgus's torture chamber in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', one of the victims is having salt walter poured down her throat with a funnel, a real life torture method.
** Also, when [[spoiler:the Count]] turns [[spoiler:Zondark]] into his killer zombie-slave thing, he does it by forcing his long, bloated, demonic tongue 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 hospitalized due to her self-inflicted malnourishment.]]

* Weird example in ''ComicBook/XMen'' #231: A demon in the form of Literature/BabaYaga takes over the X-Mansion and trusses up all the New Mutants (except Magik[=/=]Illyana Rasputin) for eating, force-feeding them to make them fat. Magik risks her soul to summon her brother Colossus (she thinks he's dead; he was hiding out in Australia. ItMakesSenseInContext), and they're able to defeat the witch, but she has to use a spell to restore her friends to their normal selves. Presumably it was magic food, because the story takes place seemingly over a few hours, but the victimized mutants are fat all over, not just {{Balloon Bell|y}}ied (perhaps; the art is not clear) and they seem to be in semi-permament {{food coma}}s (makes 'em easier to butcher).
* An issue of ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' cast him and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica in a spoof of ''Literature/GoofusAndGallant''. One comparison showed that Cap makes sure to accommodate his vegetarian friends' dietary needs, while Deadpool ties vegetarians to chairs and [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment force-feeds them meatloaf.]]

* The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror comics have a story called "The Legend of Batterface". Homer becomes a doughnut themed serial killer who murders childhood camp mates each year by force feeding them doughnuts until they suffocate. The reason he does this is because he was driven insane after his friends pulled a deserved prank on him for eating all of the doughnuts in summer camp.

* ''ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics'': In the third story arc, [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Quick Man]] force-feeds an [[PowerUpFood E-Tank]] to a wounded Mega Man [[NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction so he'll actually be able to fight back]]. Naturally, this [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfires on him]], as Mega Man had [[PowerCopying copied]] a weapon that Quick Man is ''very'' weak against beforehand, and being fully healed just allows him to tank Quick Man's blows and OneHitKill him.
* ''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.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fanfic titled "Narcissism" by WTF Wonder, Dark Danny threatens to do this to Danny.

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 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]].
