** At the end of the episode they get back at the [[Big Bad]] by forcing her to ingest a test tube filled with the ingredient that made her cookies so addictive in the first place.
Line 170 ⟶ 163:
** In another instance, Lois and Peter are sitting in bed feeding each other strawberries. 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.
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'': Grandma Stuffum, a villainess with satanic food, in her debut episode literally cooked up an army of alive "homemade meals" that forcefully jammed themselves down the throats of the helpless Kids Next Door and rendered them immobile and stuffed to the point of pain. What's worse was it seemed that was just the appetizer had it not been for the army of hamsters that saved the day.
* And don't forget the gravy! The ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "[http://youtu.be/mTTusPJyR-A Chow Hound]", directed by [[Chuck Jones]], dates from 1951, originally illustrated this page and may have come fairly early in this trope's life - funnel and everything. A little context: a mean, gluttonous, lazy dog has been using a cat and mouse in a scheme to get food (he usually bullies the cat into giving him the food from his various "owners", and slapping the cat, grumbling "You forgot the gravy!"). He eventually parlays the scheme into earning him enough money to buy a stocked butcher's shop, the contents of which he devours in an off-screen frenzy. While he's lying there bloated and ill, the cat and mouse he used to bully show up, claiming that "This time, we didn't forgot the gravy..." Cue the terrified (and helpless) dog begging for mercy, while the cat and mouse calmly stuff a funnel on the dog's mouth and start pouring the contents of a nice big container of gravy...
** A much earlier Looney Tunes short, "Pigs Is Pigs", involves a greedy piglet - an early version of the character who later became the iconic Porky Pig - having a [[Dream Sequence|dream]] about a scientist who straps him to a machine that feeds him until has a [[Balloon Belly]] and then [[Wafer-Thin Mint|he eats one more piece of food, explodes]], wakes up, and doesn't really think about the dream and just goes on being gluttonous.
** Yet another early Looney Tunes short, "Wholly Smoke", has a dream sequence of Porky being forced to consume chewing tobacco.
** "A Tale of Two Mice", featuring the [[Abbott and Costello]] expies Babbitt and Catstello, ends with Babbitt scoffing at the cheese Catstello has brought back for them: "You know I don't like Swiss cheese!" Castello slaps him about the head before shoving hunks of cheese into his mouth, saying, "Well, Babbitt, you're goin' ta' ''loin'' ta' like it, right now!"
* Spoofed (possibly as a shout out to "Pigs Is Pigs" above) in ''[[The Simpsons]]''' fourth [[Halloween Episode]] when Homer goes to Hell, having sold his soul for a donut. He is given an ironic punishment: eat all the donuts in the world. However, the punishment [[Unishment|doesn't bother Homer]] as he just keeps growing fatter and fatter and fatter with no sign of displeasure. The torturer is left confused, as "James Coco went mad in 15 minutes".
* 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. Cue the dream sequence where he's force-fed apples, apple sauce, apple cider, etc, while his evil side laughs at his misfortune. Eventually, Andy's good side comes to his rescue and snaps him off from his nightmare.
* In the ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' episode "Baby Puss" a girl punishes Tom by forcing him to take a spoonful of castor oil. While Jerry's laughing at Tom's misfortune quite a bit of the oil drips out of the bottle and covers Jerry, including falling into his open mouth.
* In "Butterscotch & Soda", [[Little Audrey]] is strapped to a chair and has a huge bag of candy dumped down her throat in a nightmare sequence.
* In ''[[Ed, Edd 'n'
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': One episode had Sandy Cheeks forcing huge amounts of water into Spongebob as revenge for getting popular on jokes made at her expense. Being a sponge, however, it's relatively harmless.
** Another example had lima beans.
* 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 forcefeeding them to return them to normal. The short ends with a typical [[Balloon Belly]].
* Played straight in ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'', to awful effect ("Fancy Pants").
* One episode of ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]]'' had the Planeteers force fed polluted food.
Line 189 ⟶ 180:
* A ''[[Gumby]]'' episode had Gumby constantly mooching snacks from his friends, then he has a nightmare about being force-fed ice-cream, soda, and hamburgers by a humanoid Pokey.
* There have been occasions in which Bluto has crammed a cup or even a full can of spinach down [[Popeye]]'s throat. [[What an Idiot!|Guess how well that turned out for him]].
* In the ''[[Lego Friends]]'' episode "Rabbitouille", Stephanie, trying to recreate her carrot cake, force fed her friends until they begged for mercy. In the end of the episode, they ran out of her house, screaming and clutching their stomachs, at the mention of carrot cake.

* For medical purposes, an unconscious or disabled patient may be fed via a tube that goes through the ''nose'' and down the throat. Unfortunately, if it's placed improperly, the tube can wind up in the lungs by accident. Getting feeding solution in the lungs can be fatal.
** Longer term feeding (over one month) is more often done via a gastrostomy—a tube that extends through an incision in the abdomen, directly into the stomach. A patient with such a tube can be fed continuously, 24/7, even if comatose or totally unable to swallow.
