History Main / GluttonousPig

* Horkos of ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' fame is a demon pig/dragon hybrid wearing a crown and cape and wielding a staff. Oh, and he [[VillainousGlutton loves to]] [[ExtremeOmnivore eat]].

* An early WesternAnimation/PorkyPig cartoon has him being punished in an IronicHell for stealing a pie by being force fed. Another one shows him going to a hospital, claiming to have eaten too much at a birthday party and gotten a stomach ache; an x-ray of his stomach shows a birthday cake [[RuleOfFunny with candles still lit.]]

* The pigs in ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'', particularly in the spin-off holiday comics. The 2011 Christmas comic has the pig king thinking that the meaning of Christmas is for him to eat all day long. In the games, if they'd just give up on eating the eggs and run for it, they'd save themselves a world of hurt.

* Music/PinkFloyd's "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" follows the gluttonous for power variant from ''Animal Farm''. (the real life targets are thinly veiled, except the third one, which goes straight "Hey you [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Whitehouse Whitehouse]]!")

* Averted in ''Literature/MrsPiggleWiggle''. She has a pig named "Lester," whose sole purpose is to teach children to use their best table manners by setting a good example.

Subtrope to BigEater and, in some cases, ExtremeOmnivore or VillainousGlutton (if the character is a villain). Supertrope to FedToPigs, where the pigs' gluttonous nature is used [[EatTheEvidence as a means]] [[DisposingOfABody to dispose of bodies]]. For other common porcine AnimalStereotypes, see MessyPig and BrainyPig. For a trope related to boars, see FullBoarAction.

* Pigs are used to dispose of bodies in ''Film/Snatch''. What's even more shocking is their willingness to eat human flesh.

* Miss Piggy of ''Franchise/TheMuppets'' is sometimes portrayed this way, for example in ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'', where she insists she's "testing" the chestnuts, or [[http://muppetmovieposters.tumblr.com/image/34179727375 this]] image from the ''Muppet Movie Parodies Calendar''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/The3LittlePigsTheMovie'', Wally, the pig who builds his house out of straw and is the laziest of the three brothers, just wants to eat all day, as stated during one of the songs.

* In the U.S. Acres shorts on ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', Orson defies this trope, but his brothers play it straight by stealing food whenever they can.

* Chihiro's parents in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' turn into pigs after gorging themselves on the spirits' food.

Interestingly, in Judaism pigs are actually a symbol of ''{{hypocri|te}}sy'': they are said in Literature/TheTalmud to be the only animals with cloven hooves that don't ruminate[[note]]Not true: okapis fit this description as well; but they haven't been discovered when the Talmud was written[[/note]], so a pig displays its hooves and claim to be pure while not so[[note]]Mammals need to have cloven hooves and ruminate to be kosher; you can read more about it [[UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}} here]][[/note]]. However, due to a more global version of EaglelandOsmosis, this trope is very well-known among Jews, to the point that ''khazirút''[[note]]חזירות[[/note]] (lit. 'swinery') is essentially Modern Hebrew for 'avarice'.

** A trait he shared with his counterpart Hamton J. Pig from TinyToonAdventures.

* The Rashberry species in ''VivaPinata''. In order to romance them, they need to eat items that have gone rotten. If they eat a hunk of cheesecake, they transform into warthogs.

* ''HogsOfWar'' is about armies of pigs fighting a bloody war for a continent full of swill.

* The piggies in ''{{Glitch}}'' require being fed periodically. They will have word balloons pop over their head with knife and fork to indicate they're hungry. And if they are not fed, they will not let you nibble them no matter how much you pet them. And while they can and do eat fruit dropped from trees, they will also eat food dropped by Glitches.
