One specific, discredited version of I'm a Humanitarian is the idea that when people from the "civilized world" (like missionaries and explorers) encounter Hollywood Natives, they are in danger of being eaten. The "civilized" characters may initially think that the natives are treating them as respected guests or even gods, and feeding them better than they ever have been... but then, without fail, out come the pots and the chanting. Cast-iron cauldrons are a staple of the trope, even though the natives appear to be otherwise stuck in the stone age — talk about Anachronism Stew! Jungle Drums, Skeletons in the Coat Closet and a Tribal Carry may well be involved. If they escape, they can expect to be Chased by Angry Natives. Sometimes, the eating aspect isn't as stressed, but the idea remains that the outsider will be attacked and sacrificed instantly upon entering foreign territory; a particular Sister Trope is Appease the Volcano God. If the captured is one of the Human Traffickers, they'll wind up being an Asshole Victim. The trope was updated for the 20th and 21st centuries with the idea of a Cannibal Clan: a creepy, disturbed family or community that captures and eats people. The clan may be in the backwoods, deep in the Wild Wilderness, or in a blighted wasteland of a post-apocalyptic setting. See also Wacky Wayside Tribe, Cannibal Tribe, Cannibal Clan, Hollywood Natives, or The Captivity Narrative. Likely to overlap with Black Comedy Cannibalism, Cooking the Live Meal, or Stewed Alive. |

In This Immortal the group of protagonists is taken captive by the Kouretes, a tribe of half-human mutants living near a a Hot Spot in the mountains of Greece. They don't bother with niceties, but pretend their captives could win their freedom through a Duel to the Death against the Dead Man, whom the Kouretes worship. While Hasan fights the Dead Man, the others try to break free, and through a combined effort they manage to both kill the Dead Man and flee. | |

TaleSpin: In "The Bigger They Are, the Louder They Oink" Becky's truffle hunting expedition turns sour when they're found by "pygmies" who try to cook her and the pig she brought to sniff the valuable fungus out. The biggest irony is, the pygmies seem to have plenty of truffles; they use them in the soup that Becky nearly becomes a part of. | |

Red Ears: Subverted. In one comic set in Darkest Africa, a father and his son from a cannibal tribe are sent out to hunt for food by his fat, foulmouthed wife when they stumble across a pretty young European woman. After they capture her, the son asks his father if they'll take her home and eat her. The father replies that they'll take her home and eat his mother instead. | |

Averted in the original book version of Adventures of Captain Vrungel. At one point, the crew of the Trouble ends up in Australia, and Vrungel, waking up from his sleep, sees his first mate, Lom, with some aboriginals over by a campfire, causing him to think they're about to eat Lom, and so he rushes over to rescue him. It turns out to have been a misunderstanding, Lom was just hanging out with the indigenous people, and they were sitting at a distance so as to not wake up Vrungel. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation avoids the racist connotations by going with a different stereotype, Hillbilly Horrors, instead. In an extended parody of Deliverance, Banjo Possum's equally hillbilly family attempts to turn Babs into rabbit stew while Buster is distracted doing a "Dueling Banjos" version of the theme tune. | |

Spellsinger: This is pretty much a Once per Episode event in the novels starting with Day of the Dissonance. Usually, this involves Jon-Tom, Mudge, and the temporary companion of the story being captured by a Cannibal Clan and Jon-Tom using spellsinging to let them escape, but in Time of the Transference (where it happened twice) they escape the first time by given an acrophobic pegasus cocaine and the second time by Jon-Tom introducing the concept of feminism to the women of the tribe and convincing them that they didn't have to do what the men of the tribe told them to do. Son of Spellsinger featured a variation in that the protagonists get captured by a group of desert dwellers who don't directly eat the people they capture, they use them as fertilizer for their crops. | |

Subverted in Tales of the Magic Land. Charlie Black was presumed dead for years after being captured by a cannibal tribe. When he turns up alive in the second book, Ellie asked whether he managed defeat them in combat. Charlie stated there was no way for him to have fought off thousands of people, but the cannibals turned out to be quite nice guys, and once he showed himself to be more useful alive than cooked, they were all too happy to leave him alive, accepted him into the tribe, and, eventually, helped him return home. | |

Rocky and Bullwinkle: Happens to Rocky and Bullwinkle. Lampshaded and Subverted when they point out that since they're not human it's technically not cannibalism. This also happens to Sherman and Mr. Peabody during one of their segments on a trip to meet Dr. David Livingston. Peabody gets them out of it by impressing the cannibals with some showmanship. |

The first time you meet recurring character Clara Lost in Yooka-Laylee, she's in such a plight. In the world Tribalstack Tropics, she's being held inside a large pot (also sentient, his name is Potty Mouth), and she asks you to dispatch the "natives". The "natives" in question are monsters, which helps avoid the Unfortunate Implications the trope often carries. Amusingly, Clara Lost is a sentient skeleton, so it begs the question of just what part of her they want to eat. | |

The Legend of Korra: It's implied that this happened to Bumi. While walking around the fog with his siblings, he started having flashbacks of this event. Even though his siblings believed that his stories were fabricated, it's pretty clear that this one really did happen. | |

Disney does not like talking about the way Africans were portrayed in their 1930's Mickey Mouse comics. This trope has a lot to do with that. | |

The 1985 movie of King Solomon's Mines has The Hero and someone else being thrown into an enormous cooking pot. They escape by swimming back and forth until the pot turns over and they roll away downhill. | |

Actually used fairly straight in two novels of The Culture. In Consider Phlebas, the protagonist is captured by a cult who practice cannibalism. He literally pulls Regret Eating Me on them, as his Bloody Murder powers ensure death to anyone taking a bite of him. Also, in Use of Weapons, the protagonist is tortured and sacrificed by natives on a planet he lands on, and is down to Losing Your Head by the time he is rescued, and needs a new body as a result. | |

This is one of the biggest fears of Robinson Crusoe. He eventually acquires one of the cannibals as a faithful servant he names Friday, but remains convinced that Friday's people will eat him if he ever ventures over there, despite Friday's insistence otherwise. They later rescue a Spaniard and Friday's father from being eaten by another group of cannibals. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. The crew of Voyager are stranded on a planet, and are captured by a primitive tribe. Neelix says, "They're trying to work out what to make of us... not in a culinary sense, I hope." | |
