History Main / JabbaTableManners

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', Jafar takes a huge bite of an apple, eats it while talking and spits part of it onto Jasmine's face.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingMaurice'', Boss Man's ravenous devouring of his food, and the disgusting noises that accompany it, are enough to repulse his two rat catchers. [[spoiler:This is because he is actually a [[TheWormThatWalks being whose body is composed of hundreds of rats]].]]
* [[FatBastard The Penguin]] is seen scarfing down a pile of fish when meeting with Task Force X in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', at breakfast together, Belle is visibly disturbed to see Beast snarfing at his porridge like an animal. Chip helpfully nudges him his spoon... which leads to Beast dripping the porridge into his waiting jaws. Belle offers a compromise by lifting her bowl up, and they both sip.

* ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'': [[VillainousGlutton Mayor Shelbourne]] is constantly shown shoving all sorts of junk food in his mouth from the sky, at one point swallowing a 6-foot dog while ''while he is still talking''.
* The animal characters of ''WesternAnimation/FantasticMrFox'' like to think of themselves as urbane and sophisticated, but they go wild at mealtimes.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists'', while discussing plans with the admiral, Queen Victoria is talking with her mouth full.
* Chihiro's parents are seriously greedy pigs in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', even before they are turned into actual pigs for touching the food of gods. At one point her dad seems to stuff a fried chicken down his throat! Though it's implied that's an effect of eating the enchanted food: once you start you can't stop scarfing it down until you become a pig.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'', Foreman Spike is seen scarfing down a slice of pizza without chewing. Perhaps unsurprising; given that he's rude towards the Mario brothers, it's fitting that he's rude when eating.

** A milder example occurs in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E10JourneyToTheCentreOfTheTARDIS Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS]]". The seemingly refined Mrs. Gillyflower makes a horrible slurping sound when she eats her soup.

* In ''LightNovel/AnotherNote'', an ''entire paragraph'' is devoted to Rue [[spoiler: Beyond Birthday]] eating strawberry jam out of the jar (at a crime scene, no less!) with his hands, and both Naomi and [[LemonyNarrator Mello]] commenting on how gross it is.

* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' has Mr. Luggs. This enormous ghost quite literally ate himself to death, and he never stopped.

* ''Film/TheBride'': When Frankenstein and Mrs. Baumann are attempting to teach Eva civilised manners, they allow her eat after she correctly says she is about to eat chicken. However, when the plate is placed in front of her, she starts to eat by lowering her face directly onto the plate.

* ''WebAnimation/TroubleBusters'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=134tbxXzeQ0 Minami]] always stuffs her face with food much to the disgust of the other moms.

* Mr. Creosote in ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'', "Part VI The Autumn Years". Then again, he does promptly explode afterwards...

'''Bob:''' ''(with food still in his mouth)'' I'm sorry Harry, I promise I won't do it again! ''(while crumbs are spilling everywhere)''

** Wapol. His super ability of the Baku-Baku Fruit gives him the ability to eat anything and stretch his jaws, as well as taking the phrase "you are what you eat" literally.

* Though not shown directly onscreen, the wasteful manner in which the noblemen of ''Anime/PumpkinScissors'' treat food that should be used to feed the refugees ''definitely'' qualifies them for this trope. Although there was one instance where it is shown, with that noble in episode 2 who [[MoralEventHorizon hunts his citizens with his tank for sport]]. He throws a tantrum because his steak was prepared differently from his usual and throws it to the floor. Then he hears his maids' stomachs growling (rather audibly), [[KickTheDog so he tosses the rest of the onto the floor while remarking that he should feed his dogs]].

* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'': The title character ''doesn't'' fit this -- he is a pretty fast and BIG eater, but he always appreciates what he eats and never wastes a crumb. The Bishokukai on the other hand have truly disgusting eating habits and occasionally go out of their way to kill animals without eating them. The closest thing the group has to a NobleDemon is also the only one who seems to appreciate good food as much as Toriko.

* ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'': The Skeksis gorge like animals at an opulent banquet table. They're even served live animals, which scamper around the table, knocking things over as the Skeksis excitedly try to smash them with their fists.

* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'':
** Jabba's father Zorba from the ''Jedi Prince'' series of novels is just as disgusting as his son. His hosts at a feast are [[{{Squick}} squicked out]] by his eating habits and are aghast when he ruins their super expensive carpet. Oddly enough, Zorba gorging himself in that situation is somewhat understandable since he had been wandering Tatooine for days with hardly anything to eat.
** During ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' there's a character [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast named Karkas]] who's introduced [[SecondFaceSmoke blowing smoke into Tash's face]]. Later he doesn't smoke while talking to Jabba the Hutt, but he does swallow a live eel with a contented sigh. [[spoiler: [[GrandTheftMe Because he's in Tash's body]]. The writer still wanted to reinforce his grossness, but while a man eating live animals and [[SerialKiller murdering people]] in the body of a thirteen-year-old girl is okay, smoking is not.]]

* In the 5th ''Literature/DeltoraQuest'' book, Gellick the Great Toad devours flies by the massive bowlful. His slaves have to keep special rooms full of maggots and rotting food to ensure a sufficient supply of flies. He even kills a slave with his poisonous saliva for having to tell him that the supplies are lower than normal due to him slowly eating larger quantities each meal.

* ''Literature/StarTrekTitan''. Several of the carnivores on the ''Titan'' crew, including Dr. Ree, tear into their raw meat in a highly inelegant manner, usually spurting blood all over the table. This isn't because they're villainous or ill-mannered (in fact Dr. Ree's culture is incredibly polite), but because their species' instincts and metabolisms require them to "play" with their food.
* Invoked in ''The Well of Ascension'', the second book of ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy''. Tyrannical nobleman Lord Cett deliberately serves messy food and eats it with a noticeable lack of decorum during a dinner with his political rival [[TheWisePrince Elend Venture]], to the point that he starts eating even before Elend shows up. [[ActionGirl Vin]] (Elend's lover, the trilogy's heroine, and an assassin and former thief) quickly pegs Cett's poor manners as ''entirely'' deliberate, designed to keep Elend off-balance and uncomfortable throughout the entire meal. It's also something of a running theme with Cett that since he's paralyzed from the waist down and therefore has a hard time intimidating people physically, he makes up for it with his deliberately [[LargeHam bombastic and over-the-top personality]].

* ''Literature/TheFireRose'': Jason isn't as bad as many of the other examples here, but he does wolf down raw meat. (Justified because his transformation left him half-wolf; how else ''would'' he eat?) Rosalind eventually gets him to use a knife and fork.
* If [[Literature/AmeliasNotebook Amelia]] is to be [[UnreliableNarrator believed]], her sister Cleo.

* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'': Katniss deliberately starts eating with her fingers and wiping them on the tablecloth after Effie makes an insensitive comment about the previous tributes' table manners.
* In ''LightNovel/AnotherNote'', an ''entire paragraph'' is devoted to Rue [[spoiler: Beyond Birthday]] eating strawberry jam out of the jar (at a crime scene, no less!) with his hands, and both Naomi and [[LemonyNarrator Mello]] commenting on how gross it is.
* In ''Literature/MondayBeginsOnSaturday'' this is defining trait of second Vybegallo's cadavers. While looking like Prof. Vybegallo (being homunculus made from his tissues) it has no qualms from running on all four and plunging head-first into pile of fish heads. Justified by the fact that it was a model of "stomachically unsatisfied human".
* A heroic version with Literature/CiaphasCain's aide Jurgen, as an extension of his awful hygiene in general. He sprays everywhere when eating, and the more gruesome sights in 40K like cracking open Tyranid carapaces are unfavorably compared to the experience of Jurgen going through a plate of shellfish.

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Although Cookie Monster definitely eats this way, he's harmless. His eating habits are intended as mildly objectionable in and of themselves and seem to be connected to the fact he's generally uncivilized, though. And in one early appearance, he attempted to eat Kermit.
* The Skeksis banquet scene in ''Film/TheDarkCrystal''. Fun moments: A Skeksis ripping the fat off a steak and chewing it loudly, a Skeksis gargling his beak in the middle of a bowl of water, and the entire group smashing the table trying to catch a live "crawly" rolling across it before the fattest Skeksis catches and eats it.
* ''Series/{{Oobi}}'': There have been at least two instances of Kako eating noisily, whether it be eating pretzels or carrots.
[[/folder]]

* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' has Mr. Luggs. This enormous ghost quite literally ate himself to death, and he never stopped.
* Governor Phatt in ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland2LeChucksRevenge'', a bloated whale of a man confined to his bed, eats through tubes that hang over his bed and deliver liquified food-like substances every 30 seconds or so. A bell rings to signal when it's about to come out. He's apparently learned how to respond to this prompt in his sleep.
* In ''VideoGame/GrandiaII'', the businessman infected with [[SealedEvilInACan Valmar's Tongue]] turns into a huge fat guy who spends nearly every waking moment eating--while his employees lose their sense of taste, and then slowly starve and waste away. [[spoiler: He's also eating their souls.]]
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', [[ProudWarriorRaceGirl Rinkah]] is an heroic example, as she has the habit of sending food and juices everywhere while eating with her bare hands. This annoys the local TeamMom Oboro to the point that she takes it upon herself to teach Rinkah how to eat with utensils.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* [=BigMastadon's=] self-imposed challenge to eat 40 pizza rolls. WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}'s {{MST}} and reaction [[http://www.viddler.com/explore/retsu/videos/108/ here]].

* Mandragora slurping down oysters from the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' episode "Double Date". Bonus points for leering at Black Canary as he says, "[[{{Squick}} I like my oysters nice and juicy.]]" Ew. And then you remember that oysters are supposedly an [[ParentalBonus aphrodisiac]]. Unsurprisingly, Black Canary gives his repulsive face a good smack, not that it does any good since Mandragora has CharlesAtlasSuperpower and is actually a huge slab of muscle rather than fat.

* The Tamaraneans from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' have meals that involve fighting for food. It didn't help the Earthling Titans that you can't tell if the food is meat or not.
-->'''Robin:''' So... I'm guessing you picked up your table manners on Earth?\\
'''Starfire:''' ''(shoving food into her mouth with her bare hands)'' HURRY OR YOU WILL NOT GET ANY!
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Homer Simpson.
-->'''Frank Grimes:''' He eats like a pig!\\
'''Lenny:''' [[InsultToRocks Nah, pigs tend to chew]]. I'd say he eats more like a duck.\\
''*Cut to Homer tipping his head back to gulp down a whole slice of pie*''\\
'''Frank Grimes:''' Well, some kind of farm animal, anyway.
** The whole family can be like this, though Homer is by far the worst offender. They're shown several times as just wolfing down their food like starved animals.

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': The Tasmanian Devil, when he even bothers with a table. And if he does, then the table gets eaten too.
-->'''Bugs Bunny:''' ''[as the Devil devours a skewer of three dynamite sticks]'' Yeesh, what atrocious table manners!
* ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' has a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. Kilowog, who's very explicitly not greedy or villainous nevertheless eats like this -- he shoves his face directly into his plate and doesn't bother using his hands at all, much to Razor's disgust. And he can [[ExtremeOmnivore eat almost anything]], even a videotape.

* ''WesternAnimation/ClueClub'': Seeing Mr. Glut from "The Missing Pig Caper" eat is enough to make Sheriff Bagley lose his appetite.
* Raspberry Torte in the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series, at least until her friends teach her otherwise.
-->'''Raspberry:''' ''I'll reach across the table / Won't even try to share / I'll eat with just my fingers / I’ll stand up in my chair / And if that makes 'em angry / That’s how it's gonna be / 'Cause the only one I care about / Is me, myself, and me.''
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Helga is occasionally shown to be a messy eater, as seen in "Helga's Masquerade" and "Big Bob's Crisis", where she has chocolate syrup (in the former) and barbecue sauce (in the latter) all over her face.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hunger|1974}}'' is a DerangedAnimation short about a gluttonous BigEater of a man who shovels in truckloads of food -- and that isn't a metaphor, by the end his head has literally turned into a clamshell bucket and he is hoovering in truckloads of food.
* Zerk from ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' is a downplayed example in that he's not a villain, just a jerk before CharacterDevelopment settled in. In "Back to Bortron 7", he asked the group if they wanted to see how many Figinnuz[[note]]The alien equivalent of French fries[[/note]] he could fit into his mouth until his mom stopped him.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'', [[spoiler:the Core in Marcy's body]] eagerly smashes a cupcake into their mouth, getting frosting all over their new face. They remark how delighted they are to have a body again [[spoiler:since spending centuries as minds uploaded to a computer]] deprived them of mortal comforts like eating.

* From ''Manga/FairyTail100YearsQuest'', leader of [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Diabolos Guild]] of Dragon Eaters Georg Ryzen is a savage-looking brute of a man who not only is a VillainousGlutton (he genuinely likes to eat Dragons for their flavour rather than power) but is shown "eating" a steak by holding it in his hand and crushing it into paste, squeezing all the juice in his open mouth. Even his underlings are disgusted.

* All-Father D'Aronique in ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}''. He then ''pukes'' on himself. And one character goes, "Oh I forgot to tell you, he's bulimic."
* In ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', one of our big clues that Rorschach is more than a bit socially maladjusted is the way he wolfs down cold baked beans straight from the can. The [[{{Squick}} sound effects]] don't help matters. In his case it's almost a subversion, because rather than being wasteful/greedy it shows him as a loner who doesn't know (or, more likely, simply doesn't care) about the kinds of things normal people care about, such as table manners. It also helps convey that he's a pretty spartan kind of guy: The beans are just as nutritious cold. It's faster. It's easier. Why bother heating them up?
* ''Comicbook/GreenLantern'': Larfleeze, the Orange Lantern, was known to be constantly stuffing his face with repulsive food made from jungle insects and decaying meat. One of the side effects of being the possessor of the orange light of avarice is constant hunger.

* In one issue of ''ComicBook/UltimateIronMan'', Zebediah Stane and Loni Stark's greed is demonstrated by the way they wolf down their food during one of their meetings.

* Subverted in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13674619/1/The-Lard-House The Lard House]]. Despite how much and how quickly they eat given the impression their all gluttonous slobs, the Lard family don't make 'any' mess while eating.

[[folder:Films — Animation]]
* The animal characters of ''WesternAnimation/FantasticMrFox'' like to think of themselves as urbane and sophisticated, but they go wild at mealtimes.
* Chihiro's parents are seriously greedy pigs in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', even before they are turned into actual pigs for touching the food of gods. At one point her dad seems to stuff a fried chicken down his throat! Though it's implied that's an effect of eating the enchanted food: once you start you can't stop scarfing it down until you become a pig.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', at breakfast together, Belle is visibly disturbed to see Beast snarfing at his porridge like an animal. Chip helpfully nudges him his spoon... which leads to Beast dripping the porridge into his waiting jaws. Belle offers a compromise by lifting her bowl up, and they both sip.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists'', while discussing plans with the admiral, Queen Victoria is talking with her mouth full.
* ''WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime'': Drizella Tremaine samples the food being prepared for her sister's wedding by shoving handfuls of it into her face.

[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
* Jabba the Hutt of ''Franchise/StarWars'', who shovels in gourmet food by the handful, is the TropeNamer. A fair amount of it is alive when he eats it. He can [[JustEatHim even swallow humans whole]].
* In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', Pizza the Hut is a parody of Jabba. He's hilarious. And delicious. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, as he ends up eating himself to death.]]
* Lips Manlis, loudly slurping oysters in the ''Film/DickTracy'' films.
* Pang from ''Film/DogBiteDog'' gobbles through every bite, especially in his first scene where after killing a mobster in a Chinese restaurant, he then grabs around 12 dumplings in one hand and shoves ''all'' of them into his mouth at one go. Justified that Pang is a cage fighter who is "raised like a dog".
* In the "Death Proof" segment of ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'', a stuntman's loud and messy introduction with a plate of cheese-soaked nachos is enough to tell you that he is a creep.
* The Sha-Her Triad of Jet Li's {{Wuxia}} film ''Film/OnceUponATimeInChina'' guzzle down pork and wine after forming an alliance of with the American sex-slave traders who invaded China.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing'': (Creator/PeterJackson version) Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, eats chicken and greens with his hands, munches audibly and has grease dripping down his chin. This is intercut with shots of his son being (sent by him) on what's likely to be a pointless suicide mission. The scene really shows the SanitySlippage he's undergoing.
* Mr. Creosote in ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'', "Part VI The Autumn Years". Then again, he does promptly explode afterwards...

* John Belushi did it again in ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'', when Jake and Elwood deliberately invoke this trope to drag Mr. Fabulous away from his ritzy maître d' job and back into their band. Though his insistence to buy the young daughter of the family in the next table probably has even greater effect.

* The overweight Assistant Warden and the Warden of ''Film/RikiOhTheStoryOfRicky'' wolf down banquets while their prisoners starve. Even their ''dogs'' get steak for dinner!!
* [[NoNameGiven The Bandit]] in ''Film/DynamiteWarrior'' is a deranged cannibal who gains super strength when he's hungry. He probably wouldn't be so hungry all the time if he didn't eat like Cookie Monster and, you know, actually swallowed his food.
* ''Film/ThirtyDaysOfNight'': Given that there's only a certain amount of blood in a human body, and only a certain number of human bodies left in Barrow, should the vamps have been dribbling so much down the fronts of their shirts? In some scenes, they actually look like they have blood beards, of the Music/ZZTop variety.
* A porn industry farce, ''Live Virgin'' features a more subtle version of the trope when a porn executive mentions how much he used to hate caviar before spooning it into his mouth from a bowl while lounging on a couch. It wasn't all that terrible, but the film gives plenty of other examples of his general piggery.

* The title character of ''Film/JennifersBody'' indulges in some of this shortly after her DemonicPossession. She's so hungry, she sneaks into Needy's house, pulls a refrigerated roast chicken apart with her bare hands and starts messily shovelling it into her mouth. Her newly-possessed body [[VomitIndiscretionShot rejects it]]. Later, when she [[HorrorHunger learns she has to]] [[ImAHumanitarian eat people]], her feeding methods are no less messy.

* One of the highlights of ''Film/ThePrivateLifeOfHenryVIII'' is the banquet scene in which Henry chugs wine by the flagon, while also attacking a chicken, tearing it apart, flinging the bones and the innards all over the room, splattering everyone unfortunate enough to be sitting near him.

* In ''Film/WhenEvilCalls'', the fat kid is shown eating three burgers in the canteen; stuffing them into his mouth and picking his nose between bites.
* ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'': The Skeksis gorge like animals at an opulent banquet table. They're even served live animals, which scamper around the table, knocking things over as the Skeksis excitedly try to smash them with their fists.

* In ''Film/CryWilderness'', Will, Jim and Paul enter Will's home to find Morgan sitting at the table devouring an entire roast chicken with his bare hands. And ketchup.
* In ''Film/Angel1984'', The Killer consumes a raw egg in the most disgusting manner possible: piercing the top of the shell with the same knife he uses to murder prostitutes, sucking out the contents, and then crushing up the shell and stuffing it into his mouth.
* Laura aka X-23 from ''Film/{{Logan}}''. The kid does ''not'' know how to eat with polite company. When dining with the Munsons she stuffs fistfuls of mashed potatoes in her mouth until Logan corrects her, and scoops big helpings of corn from the bowl as it's passed around the table.

* ''Film/Dune2021'' has Baron Vladimir Harkonnen noisily pigging out on food to celebrate his victory on Arrakis. On the opposite end of the table? [[spoiler: The naked, barely-conscious body of his archrival Leto Atreides.]]
-->"You have a wonderful kitchen, cousin."

** Later on in ''Manga/GoldenWind'', there's Polpo, who does it whenever he's eating. Which is all the damn time he's onscreen.

* ''Series/TalesFromtheCrypt'': In "[[Recap/TalesFromTheCryptS2E1DeadRight Dead Right]]", Charlie's eating habits are disgusting.

* A heroic version with Literature/CiaphasCain's aide Jurgen. He sprays everywhere when eating, and the more gruesome sights in 40K like cracking open Tyranid carapaces are unfavorably compared to the experience of Jurgen going through a plate of shellfish.

[[folder:Music]]
* ''Music/KidsPraise'': One of the catchiest songs in the whole series is a non-praise, plot-related song bordering on a VillainSong where Psalty's daughter Harmony makes an absolute ''pig'' of herself at a potluck to the tune of Tarantella Napoletana.
