Cannibalism is often played for dark comedy. Cannibalism is gross, disturbing, and strongly taboo in many cultures, but less likely to get a Dude, Not Funny! reaction than more common forms of violence. Because cannibalism is both taboo and outlandish, it's common Crosses the Line Twice fodder. And food is funny. Compare Emergency Food Supply Animal. Black Comedy Cannibalism does not need to explicitly depict the act of eating people, and in fact, often it doesn't. It can be just as funny when the actual cannibalism is implied or offstage, and the humor comes from the incongruity of juxtaposing the horrors of cannibalism and murder with the mundanity of cooking and menu planning. Groan-worthy cannibalism puns are also a distinct possibility. Meat-O-Vision may occur if a character considers cannibalism because they're starving. A common variant is the gag where the characters are captured by a Cannibal Tribe and placed in a pot to be Stewed Alive, accompanied with lots of wisecracking and/or corny byplay, and possibly a lot of puns. Black Comedy Cannibalism can also provide uncomfortable comic relief in a work with a Faux Affably Evil cannibal villain. If someone unintentionally becomes a Humanitarian, may overlap with I Ate WHAT?!. Compare Let's Meet the Meat, when the meal is not only sentient but wants to be eaten. |

Bojack Horseman: The meat industry in this verse is treated the same way it's treated in the real world: living beings are bred and cooked for the evolved ones to eat, mostly mentally retarded animals who are even tenderized by their civilized counterparts. The humor comes from how hilariously wrong it is to see people treat this as normal, even if it's also Played for Drama by showing how inhumane the process is, regardless of any argument. Zach Braff's death is pure comedy-horror personified, because nobody expected it. Still, since several celebrities were trapped underground and Sanity Slippage was running amok, most of the deranged accepted it as necessary as a sacrifice to the "Fire". Everyone except Braff himself. |

Black comedy Ranma ½ fic "Ukyo Can Cook!" is all about this trope, with Ukyo snapping, murdering her rival Akane Tendo, and feeding her to Ranma without Ranma's knowledge, all while making double-meaning jokes about what she did as she commiserates with Ranma, who is finally starting to notice her romantically now that Akane is gone. The fic ends with Ranma leaving and Ukyo having an insane fit of triumphant laughter at how well her plan has worked. | |

Chew thrives off this trope. The protagonist is a detective who can determine something or someone's past by taking a bite, which comes in handy- if you're willing to chow down on human remains, or even living people. As you can imagine, things often get dark quickly- but usually hilariously so. | |

The song "Shia LaBeouf" by Rob Cantor is a mock horror about being stalked by Shia LaBeouf as a serial killer and cannibal. The concept is ridiculous, though the events are narrated completely seriously for Bathos. | |

In Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Sophocles and company watch as the dead remains of a bunch of Minior float up into space, having reached the end of their short lifespans. As everyone feels down in the dumps, suddenly, Rayquaza shows up in the sky, and everyone immediately forgets about the downer of an event by admiring its sudden "unexplained" appearance, brightening them all up. The kicker? None of them, even their own teacher who should know better, knows that Rayquaza appeared for a very good reason: it likes eating meteorite dust. Sophocles and the rest are utterly left in the dark his Minior's remains will turn into a space turd. | |

The Simpsons: In "Fear Of Flying", when Marge's fear of flying resurfaces, Homer tries buying movies of planes to help calm her. Of course, he chooses Alive on the basis of its title. In the "Treehouse of Horror V" segment "Nightmare Cafeteria", the teachers of Springfield Elementary solve both the underfunding of the school cafeteria and the overcrowding of the detention room by serving misbehaving students in the cafeteria. In the "Treehouse Of Horror XVI" segment "Survival Of The Fattest", Mr. Burns is hunting down the male population of Springfield for sport on a safari. After running for only six hours, Homer already resorts to cannibalism by eating Professor Frink. When Lenny points out the edible fruits on a nearby tree, Homer protests that they look a little green. "Simpsons Tall Tales" has a genderbent version of Johnny Appleseed with Lisa as Connie Appleseed. While she's busy wandering the west planting apple trees, her family have been stranded and driven to starvation due to overhunting the buffalo. Driven to cannibalism, the wagon train is just about to devour Homer, only for Lisa to arrive in the nick of time with apples. As she's hailed as a hero, Moe sticks his head out of Homer's blanket with a hunk of flesh on his fork. In "Bart To The Future", Homer offers Bart and Ralph some Soylent Green. In the "Treehouse of Horror XVII" segment "Married To The Blob", a "space marshmallow" turns Homer into a giant, green blob that stomps around the city eating fat people. "You've got an eating problem, and you know it. In fact, you're thinking of eating me right now, aren't you? Aren't you?!" In the "Treehouse of Horror XXVIII" segment "Mmm... Homer", Homer somehow starts getting addicted to cooking and eating his own body parts. All of this is darkly Played for Laughs, ultimately ending with Homer volunteering to be cooked and served as a gourmet dish by a celebrity chef. |

The Punisher Presents Barracuda ends on this trope, topping off a series that was already founded on Black Comedy. The series ends with Barracuda and his on-off porn actress love interest stranded in a rubber raft after all their plans have crashed and burned due to sheer random chance. When the actress wonders what they're going to eat since the raft has no supplies, Barracuda implies that he's going to eat her (note that he'd already admitted to eating human before, though not voluntarily). | |

Hannibal: The gorgeously shot gourmet cooking is all made by a Supreme Chef cannibal, which gives the Food Porn scenes an uncomfortable subtext. The show sometimes plays this for dark humor. For instance: In the same episode, Jack's team is examining the Chesapeake Ripper's (i.e., Hannibal's) latest victims. When they note that one corpse is had its intestines removed, they quip that "either someone's got short bowels or someone's making sausages". Gilligan Cut to Hannibal doing exactly that. This exchange from "Ouef": |

Parodied when the incompetent (and suspiciously obese) pilot of a plane Dilbert is on crashes into a mountain... the same one he's crashed into three times before. Since his "survival tips" for avoiding frostbite involve liberal application of meat tenderizers and Worcestershire sauce, it is implied that after the first crash he became addicted to human meat. | |

In Fallout: New Vegas, the entire side quest taking place in the White Glove Society relates to cannibalism and involves a bit of innuendo and occasional humor. And then there is the character "Cannibal Johnson" who isn't actually a cannibal (having gained the nickname from taking a bite out of a raider's heart in order to scare off the raider's buddies) but enjoys the effect of the reputation. | |

Sergeant Schlock's habit of eating people in Schlock Mercenary is generally played for comedy, to the point where at one point he's told to be ready for "lunch at the zero-evidence buffet". His viewing kittens as comfort food is also played for comedy, although he doesn't generally get to eat any onscreen. | |

Several references toward this in Monstrous Regiment, concerning the desperate state of supplies in the Borogravian army on campaign. Even one of their frequent opponents, a Zlobenian Captain "Hopalong" Splatzer, confirms this is expected in winter warfare around the area rather than the usual saner idea of giving up until spring for pre-industrial militaries. We also learn that while they do accept having to eat people's legs for food, they're shocked at the idea of eating their own legs regardless and thus them swap around. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Jack Sparrow gets Captured by Cannibals who intend to make him a meal. His attempts to escape are Played for Laughs, including at one point resigning himself to his fate and sprinkling himself with paprika. A darker example occurs when Will Turner asks what happened to the rest of the crew and Gibbs explains the cages made of human bones the cannibals had them locked in weren't there at the beginning... |

In Seinfeld, Kramer starts using butter as shaving cream, then as body lotion. When he stays out in the sun too long and starts to cook, Newman gets cannibalistic cravings. Well, not so much cannibalism, as he sees Kramer as a giant turkey, with Kramer's head. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Shadow of Revan: The player's allies have found a way to discreetly eliminate some enemies, without the Big Bad suspecting a thing. The rub is that they need the player to appear to be a fearsome pirate so that the whole thing looks like a gang war. For a Republic player, they decide to embellish the pirate persona's reputation with cannibalism — to the point that the "Red Hulls" supposedly paint their ships with the blood of their literally butchered victims. Thus leading to a surreal moment when the player arrives and the locals' first reaction is to beg not to be eaten for no readily apparent reason. A second batch of it comes when talking with Optional Party Member Treek (an Ewok mercenary who can be recruited by any class or faction). Treek mentions that there are several sentient races she would like to cook and eat. A bit of Blue-and-Orange Morality comes into play; to an Ewok, meat is meat, and if nature provides you with some, it would be wasteful not to tuck in. Early on in their story, a Sith Warrior can intimidate criminals attempting to steal a package that you're trying to protect by screaming that you'll eat them. They'll decide that they'd rather not take the chance with someone crazy enough to make that threat and you can later clarify whether or not you were bluffing. |

The "Cannibals Anonymous" story in Sluggy Freelance has Aylee the alien's friends making an intervention for her to make her stop eating people. This involves arguing about whether she's eating too many people, as if it's okay in moderation. Then she joins the Cannibals Anonymous program — though she's not technically a cannibal since humans aren't her own species — and the rest of the storyline involves things like a cannibal convention. | |

In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa-Loompas' song about Augustus Gloop — who, having fallen into the Chocolate Room's river, has just been sucked into a pipe headed for a room where a particular variety of fudge is prepared — claims that while he "will not be harmed... he will be altered quite a bit"... And that's okay, because he was such a brat that nobody liked him anyway, whereas "who could bear or hold a grudge/Against a luscious bit of fudge?" The 2013 stage musical's version of this sequence ("Auf Wiedersehen Augustus Gloop") makes this trope's presence much more explicit and cheerier to boot! | |

This is basically the whole premise of The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal. The titular Mermaid Princess, Eru, went to the surface to pay respects for one of her fish friends who got fished and turned into a meal. However she decided to eat the meal when someone tells her the fish can't go to heaven without being eaten. So she eats her friend and finds him very delicious. As a result, she became addicted to the taste of seafood and keeps coming to the surface and eats her other friends who got caught while lamenting the fact that she's not only a cannibal, but also enjoys every taste of it. It's dark, tragic and hilarious at the same time. | |

In Not the Nine O'Clock News, survivors of an air crash in remote South American mountains are interviewed by a gently probing reporter. They were asked what they ate to keep alive in the snowy mountain wastelands in the weeks between their crash and the rescue. The survivors are reluctant to talk, as if there is some big shameful secret. Then they begin revealing fragments about the "pink squiggly stuff" and the "disgusting squicky God-awful red stuff". Eventually it turns out they'd been putting off the awful moment for as long as possible. But there was no choice. Once they'd finished off the dead bodies, the only thing left to eat was the pre-packaged airline food. | |

The Belcher family in Bob's Burgers were originally intended to be cannibals who made their restaurant's hamburgers out of human meat. In the pilot, "Human Flesh", a health inspector accuses Bob of making burgers out of bodies from the mortuary next door, which is also a rumor that Louise has been spreading in her class. At the end of the episode, Bob is exonerated but keeps the story going since a group of adventurous eaters really like the idea of people burgers. | |

Used a lot in Futurama alongside humor involving aliens preying on humans. For example, a flashback shows that cannibalism was a solution during the depression of 3007, and Fishy Joe claims "the only reason we don't eat humans is because we taste terrible". In "Fun On a Bun," Fry falls into a meat grinder that Bender is using to grind up a wooly mammoth but escapes in one piece with only his clothing gone and a little of his hair trimmed off. Bender, who has no idea where Fry went, makes sausages out of the meat and Leela is halfway through hers when she finds Fry's hair and scraps of his clothing in it. She doesn't take it well. |

Santa Clarita Diet revolves around this trope. The protagonist is a (still sapient) zombie woman with an endless appetite for human flesh and blood, occasionally hunting for new victims to satisfy her cravings. And of course, this is all incredibly awkward for her not-undead family members, who have to help her with pretending she's still a normal person. | |

Used in two Fate/Grand Order events, with the joke both times being that the would-be food item is your Abhorrent Admirer Kiyohime, and you'd rather not encourage her. The first Valentine's event ("Lady's Chocolate Commotion") opens with a dream sequence of Kiyohime shapeshifting into chocolate and demanding you enjoy all 240,000 calories of her. The real Kiyohime later offers herself to you in place of chocolate, although the implication here is a different kind of "eating". During the first summer event ("Chaldea Summer Memory"), you are stranded on a tropical island, and Kiyohime offers to be your food if you can't find any, declaring that her serpent form's tail is "probably delicious, like chicken". For an example that isn't Kiyohime, during the Valentine's events, Beowulf's return gift is a fresh-off-the-grill dragon steak. The CE's description quotes Elizabeth Bathory's hit-by-enemy-Phantasm line, implying she was the dragon who got butchered for it. Sorry, Liz, you were delicious! |

The Amazing World of Gumball has many cast members that are Anthropomorphic Food and loads of Carnivore Confusion. As a result, cannibalism, in the sense of eating someone who is sapient and considered as much a person as you are, is a frequent source of humor. And that's without getting into how all food is sapient on this show: A recurring poster in the background at Elmore Junior High explains that eating other students is against the rules. "The Ghost": In the middle of a Binge Montage, Carrie-in-Gumball's-body is accosted by the Sheriff, who is a donut, and takes a bite out of him. "The Dream": Darwin and Gumball enter the same dream together, which the latter briefly leaves and come back to. Turns out several days had passed from Darwin's perspective where he was trapped in a car with Gumball's unconscious body, which he'd started eating out of desperation. "The Coach": A flashback shows Jamie unpeeled Banana Joe, plucked Sarah's ice cream head off, stuck them together in a bowl, and ate some of them with a spoon. "The Recipe": One of the many clones of Anton, a sentient piece of toast, meets his ends when he's put in the place of the bread on Tobias's sandwich, which he bites into not knowing what it was. Later, Richard finds a bunch of clones and tells them that he plans to eat them once he gets hungry. "The Name": Gumball/Zach grabs an apple off a table someone else is sitting at and takes a bite out of it. This apple turns out to be Banana Joe's cousin, not that Zach cares. He also licked Sarah's face to eat a little bit of her, though she seemed to think of it more like a kiss. "The Pizza": About twenty minutes after Larry quits all his jobs, society has collapsed and people are already forming gangs who kill and eat anyone who invades their territory. Mr. Small, who is normally a vegetarian, is alright with this so long as the people he eats aren't on antibiotics. "The Spoiler": Leslie, Banana Joe and Juke all act out scenes from a movie Gumball wants to see with their food, so to avoid spoilers, Gumball eats all of their food. Anton then keeps talking about the movie, so Gumball slaps him onto another piece of bread and eats him too. In "The Girlfriend", Banana Joe lets Jamie eat part of his head when she orders it, but then she spits it out. Likewise, Anton offers himself with a slice of cheese, and cuts the crust off. She's not interested, so she tells him to eat "it", and he obliges. |

Spiders-Man, an alternate universe version of Spiderman who is a Hive Mind of spiders in a suit with the personality of Peter Parker (which they gained by eating him in a tragic incident) very much enjoy human flesh, especially children. Fortunately, they are still too moral to go after innocents, although this is something they have to remind themselves of at times. (Villains, however, are fair game. And the occasional fresh corpse they come across that nobody will miss anyway.) | |

In a spoken introduction he sometimes used to introduce "The Vatican Rag" (not the version heard on the album That Was the Year That Was), he remarked that the Catholic Church's ban on eating meat on Fridays seemed inconsistent, because it meant that a soldier was permitted to kill a man on a Friday but not to eat him. | |

One of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid's Running Gags is Tohru trying to get Kobayashi to eat her tail meat (don't worry, it regenerates). Kobayashi refuses every time, and seemingly has good reason to (besides Squick), since the first time Tohru tries it she says "Don't worry, I cooked out all the poison." | |

Warhammer 40,000: The suggestion that one might occasionally have to subsist on recycled human is one of the lighter notes of 40K lore. The Ciaphas Cain novels in particular like to bring up Soylens Viridians as a staple Imperial Guard ration, and other sources mention "corpse-starch" as an unpleasant but sustaining food source in lean times. After all, humanity is the Imperium's most abundant resource... Invoked in-universe by the Kroot, who know that their Sapient Eat Sapient customs disturb more squeamish races and tend find this discomfort amusing. |

Unsounded: Murkoph, an actual cannibal, making comments on eating orphans or greeting people by asking to take a bite comes off as comedy as he's trapped in the khert and can't actually get at anyone. For now. Duane is pretty good about not eating people when he's present in his body despite his ever present Horror Hunger. He still jokes darkly about it while having to team up with people and one asks why he hasn't eaten Sette yet; |

In Men in Black II there is a joke of this nature in the opening scene. When the film's main villainess lands on earth she takes the form of a sexy lingerie model and gets jumped by a mugger who tells her she "tastes good" and drags her behind a bush. Suddenly we see the muggers feet fly into the air and hear him scream as she devours him alive. The woman then answers his "taste good" comment with "Yeah, you too." | |

Warhammer contains the story of Skabbicus, a Skaven slave who led his fellow slaves in revolt against the brutal Council of Thirteen and was on the verge of succeeding, until the Council had the devious idea to promise a pardon and reward to any slave who pointed out their leader. It is said that over ten thousand slaves did exactly that. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus: The "Lifeboat" sketch, about cannibalism among shipwrecked sailors. It degenerates into an argument about the culinary merits of the various sailors, and then a navy spokesman appears on the screen to object to the portrayal of cannibalism in the British navy. (After all, the real cannibalism problem is in the RAF.) This is followed directly by... The "Undertaker" sketch, about a man who goes to an undertaker to give his mother a burial and the undertaker suggests eating her instead. This skit was almost removed by the BBC and only allowed in with the provision that the studio audience would boo it. One sketch had a restaurant that served human beings as meals, including one man who is voluntarily allowing himself to be eaten and a vicar whom no one wanted to eat. |

In Brimstone Valley Mall, Misroch's habit of using human corpses in their hot dogs, and then selling those hot dogs to the unsuspecting public is pretty strictly Played for Laughs—much of the humor comes in how bad they are at hiding it, and how everyone remains clueless anyway. For example, their employee finds a hand in the fryer on the first day, and not only continues to work there, but doesn't suspect anything is wrong with the food until she's told. | |

Family Guy: In "Perfect Castaway", when he and his friends are lost at sea, Peter eats Joe's legs since he was paralyzed and had no use for them, anyway. Joe later gets a leg transplant, but the donor was also paralyzed. In "Into Fat Air", the Griffin family attempt to climb Mt. Everest and wind up eating the frozen corpse of a boy, which Peter tactlessly reveals to the boy's parents. In "The Old Man and the Big 'C'", there's a Cutaway Gag to a group of women ordering dessert at a restaurant, whom start laughing at one of them making a joke before they suddenly begin eating each other alive. In "Da Boom", after Y2K destroys the world, Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons eat their asian co-anchor Tricia Takanawa. (The episode is All Just a Dream). In "Jerome Is The New Black", a cutaway parody of an old commercial for York Peppermint Patties features a man having been stranded on a frozen mountaintop for two months after biting into one, with the patty - which keeps teleporting him back to the top of the mountain - his only food source. Until another man bites into a patty and gets teleported to the mountain, and the first knocks him out and starts chewing on his leg. Both "Lois Kills Stewie" and "The Fat Guy Strangler" feature jokes about fat people being cannibals (because they'll eat anything, get it?). In the first, an amnesiac Lois gets a job at a fat camp, where her responsibility is to stop the fat kids from eating each other. In the second, part of the mounting proof that Lois's long-lost brother is the titular Fat Guy Strangler is a dead fat guy in his room and an almost dead fat guy in his room, who testifies that "Patrick tried to kill me." After Lois is convinced, instead of asking for help, the surviving fat guy asks "Are you gonna eat that dead fat guy?" |
