History Main / OverlyLongTongue

* Characters in ''TabletopGame/InNomine'' can learn a suite of Songs called Numinous Corpus, which allow the performer to augment his or her body in various ways. One of these Songs is Numinous Corpus: Tongue. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Three guesses what it does]].
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': Everything Slaanesh-affiliated will likely have this. Genestealers also have long tongues that are almost always shown hanging out of their mouths; justified, as a genestealer's tongue is an ovipositor used to deliver a FaceFullOfAlienWingWong to its victims.

* In ''Theatre/LaCageAuxFolles'', Phaedra "the Enigma" shows off a gag tongue.

* Anteaters, aardvarks and pangolins have all convergently evolved long, sticky tongues, which they use to collect ants and termites for food.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** Marceline has this in a few of her spontaneous monster transformations.

** The first of Minerva Mink's many takes when she sees a male mink she's attracted to has her tongue making a huge pile on the ground.
** Dot Warner also extends her tongue to great lengths to try to get a pastry, even when it's wrapped around her.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** June's Shirshu have a very long tongue that might have been prehensile and provided InstantSedation.
** ''Toph'' of all people has one [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/marikunin/6676517/245590/245590_original.jpg in the comics]] (which she uses to demonstrate the effect SickeninglySweethearts has on her).
* ''WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons'': In "Deputy Droopy", a hapless safe robber gets glued to the floor, then has a stick of TNT shoved in his gob. He stretches his tongue out two miles to allow it to explode without waking the sleeping sheriff.
* This is the defining characteristic of Tung (a frog-person from Swap Star 46) in ''WesternAnimation/DexHamiltonAlienEntomologist''.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' seem to have them, all the better for eating the oversized jawbreakers they're so fond of. Also count as MultipurposeTongue, as they are strong enough that Eddy is able to balance on his.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** Gene Simmons again, in a brief gag--his tongue goes off screen, followed by Lois (also from off-screen): "Oh, ''hello'', Gene..."
** In an earlier episode, the normal-looking girl at the flag girl tryouts has her long tongue flop out when she tries to respond to Meg.

** Pinkie Pie extends her tongue longer than her body to slurp up a cake near the beginning of "Swarm of the Century".
** Spike's also got a pretty long one, which he combines with rapid spinning to clean frosting off of his body in "Lesson Zero".
** Mr. Tortoise-Snap is a giant tortoise whose prehensile tongue is far longer than his head and neck put together.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'':
** In "Mental hen" Kowalski does [[JawDrop "beak drop"]] with tongue dropped to ground, off the screen and rolled away, till it hits his head from back, when hen surprised him with her [[ItMakesSenseInContext clairvoyance skills]].

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' has Raptor from the episode "Dome of Doom", as one of seven warriors Jack fights during the finals of a BloodSport. Raptor's main weapon is his long, prehensile tongue which he uses to pick up weapons and attack with. Unfortunately, it ends up biting him in the ass when Jack forces him to eject his tongue to take down two of the other fighters, then cuts it in half. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Raptor wisely decides that retreat is the better part of valor]] and is the only fighter who survives the episode.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'': Drew Monday, Drew Saturday's MirrorUniverse EvilTwin, has a prehensile tongue.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E6TreehouseOfHorrorV Treehouse of Horror V]]", Homer messes around with the time space continuum and changes evolution drastically, and finally comes back home thinking everything is normal... only to see everyone eating by using their long frog-like tongues. He shrugs and decides that [[CloseEnoughTimeline it's close enough]].

The episode on termite-mound predators is also called "Termites Vs Tongues" thanks to this trope.
