So our hero finds themselves against a notably-sized obstacle. It could be the Monster of the Week that's twice the size of them. It could be an Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever if it's on a grand scale. The hero could even be the Incredible Shrinking Man. Whatever the situation, the hero is vulnerable either to being Eaten Alive or unwittingly committing Orifice Invasion. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })With that, the hero must react quickly to avoid being Swallowed Whole. But, wait! What's that, hanging down at the back of the throat? The hero has the option to pull off one last act of defiance in order to force their predator to spit them back out. They can either treat the uvula like their own personal punching bag, or they can grab hold of it and hold on for dear life. Either way, taking advantage of the uvula's sensitivity is enough to force the would-be consumer to cough or spit (or, in rare cases, sneeze) their unwitting prey to safety. Not to be confused with Attack the Mouth, where the hero directly intends to strike their target's mouth as a direct action, rather than a reaction. |

In one Garfield comic strip, Garfield almost swallows a mouse that was hiding in his mouth when Jon slapped him on the back. The punchline reveals that the mouse has a death grip on his uvula. | |

Star Fox Adventures's first boss will swallow Fox whole, and for some reason its uvula is down in its stomach with you. Striking it is what deals actual damage to the boss. | |

In Monster House, soon after the kids sneak into the titular house while it sleeps, Chowder spots a bulbous lantern filled with glowing orbs hanging from the ceiling. He and DJ shoot water guns at it, mistaking it for the house's heart, which they have to destroy in order to kill it. Instead, a huge chasm opens up in the floor and water gushes out, prompting Jenny to realize that the lantern is actually the house's uvula. Not long after this, the house wakes up and tries to swallow them, but Jenny manages to grab the uvula and swing from it, causing a huge gush of water from the house's gullet that washes all three out of the door. | |

Timon & Pumbaa: The episode Beetle Romania has Timon being transformed into a bug; Pumbaa manages to catch him in his mouth, but Timon grabs Pumbaa's uvula in an attempt to avoid being swallowed. It doesn't end well. The episode Unlucky in Lesotho has Pumbaa trying to hide a panther cub from Timon by putting it in his mouth. The cub starts hitting Pumbaa's uvula, eventually causing him to spit it out when Timon isn't looking. |

In Burly Men At Sea, your characters get swallowed by a whale (which is apparently a routine means of transport). The whale will eventually spit you out at another location, but you can get to different locations by punching the whale's uvula to get it to cough you out earlier. | |
