Line 88:
** Also used in ''[[Discworld/Guards! Guards!|Guards! Guards!]]'', when the dragon King invites the Guild leaders to a banquet to discuss policies of the new regime. Subverted in that, while the dragon doesn't harm anyone at the time, all of the food provided to the guests is ''[[To Serve Man|extremely fattening]]''.
** In ''[[Discworld/Soul Music|Soul Music]]'', Susan is playing the role of Death (to the extent that the Rite of Ashk'Ente summoned her instead of him). The wizards don't take her seriously, so she attempts a Deathly glare. Ridcully invites her to breakfast.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120428192936/http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Tshup_Aklathep Tshup Aklathep, Infernal Star Toad with A Million Young]. It does not mean to harm its victims, it just shows them pictures of its children until their brains implode or they commit suicide, [[Captain Obvious|whichever happens first]].
* A slightly odd (read TOTALLY FREAKING WEIRD) version of this is the dinner scene at the end of the book version of ''Hannibal''. To be fair, Hannibal [[I'm a Humanitarian|had most of his victims for dinner]]. Heh. He’s also polite and smiling, even after he eviscerates you.
** A similar scene opened ''[[Red Dragon]]''; Hannibal is having a dinner party, possibly feeding his guests people. Later his friend Will Graham shows up to ask for advice and when Hannibal steps out, he looks at a book and realizes Hannibal's the killer he's been looking for.
