** 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 publicity caused by force-feeding the suffragettes is what led to the practise being ultimatly banned in England.

* In the British horror film ''Film/{{Alone}}'' a serial killer breaks into a young woman's house, binds her to a chair, and jams microwaved dinner and custard down her throat. The police then find the woman dead after the ordeal.

** More than one Devil Fruit user has been coerced into eating said Fruit, sometimes on-screen. The list includes [[spoiler: Boa Hancock and her sisters (by the World Nobles that [[MadeASlave enslaved them]], [[ForTheEvulz for their amusement]])]] and [[spoiler: Trafalgar Law (forcefed by his BigBrotherMentor to use the Fruit as cure for his lethal illness.]]

* 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.''

* In ''Manga/ArakawaUnderTheBridge'' this is Nino's idea of hospitality.
* 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.

* Also played for laughs in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', when the girls "interrogate" Ku Fei.
** And earlier when Asuna force-feeds Negi the LovePotion he made for her. Unfortunately, it was an area-effect potion centered on the drinker...

* 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...]]

* 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*

* The end of ''VisualNovel/{{Umineko|WhenTheyCry}} [=EP2=] (''Turn of the Golden Witch'') has a scene in which Beatrice captures Battler's aunt Rosa, restrains her, and has her force fed [[spoiler: the remains of her siblings]].

* In one of the earlier ''[[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Wheel of Time]]'' books, Jaichim Carridin is a servant of the bad guys. He keeps screwing up because he likes to drink too much. After he's screwed up once too often, his superiors have him gruesomely murdered as an object lesson. They strap him down, force a funnel into his mouth, and pour an entire keg of brandy in. He drowns.

--->At these buffet-style restaurants, patrons are encouraged (by cattle-prod wielding Demons, no less) to go back for seconds... and thirds... and thousandths... and millionths... You'd be amazed how much you can cram into a body before it explodes.

* In ''VideoGame/CaveStory'', using the mushroom to restore Curly's memory apparently involves jamming it into her mouth.
** There's also the instance where Balrog force-feeds Toroko red flowers to turn her into a Frenzied Mimiga.

* The Great Mighty Poo from ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' is fought by force-feeding him [[spoiler:bog roll]].

* Essentially the main strategy for the final boss of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' features three separate boss battles where the solution is to force-feed the boss.

* In ''[[VisualNovel/ShallWeDateNinjaShadow Shall We Date?: Ninja Shadow]]'', at the end of [[spoiler: Kagura]]'s route, the PlayerCharacter almost gets force-fed [[spoiler: a very dangerous medicine that she had tried obtain and give to Kagura]] by [[spoiler: Toru and Willem.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7bEytedtE And don't forget the gravy!]] The ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "Chow Hound", directed by Creator/ChuckJones, 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-- whose contents 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7bEytedtE "This time, we didn't forget 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...

* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': Used as a murder method in "The Lions of Causton". The second VictimOfTheWeek is stunned, and then the killer pours molten chocolate down his throat until till he drowns.
