You want to dispose of a guy? Give him a particularly nasty end? Don't want to get your hands dirty? The sand necktie is your best friend. Bury him up to the neck and watch starvation and dehydration do their job. In the desert, it's the sun that'll finish him off instead. At the beach, it's the tide. Not to mention the various animals that will be quite happy to find a piece of meat on the ground that can't fight back (in the desert, it's usually fire ants, while if it's a beach it'll be crabs and seagulls). Subtrope of Buried Alive. Compare Beach Bury, which involves people simply buried at the beach for comedic value. |

The Far Side: One cartoon features two cowboys buried like this by Indians. One is gloating about the shadow cast by his partner's hat. "Sure is nice in the shade, yessiree." Another features two Indians dragging a cowboy overlooking several different anthills, each with neon signs advertising their cowboy-torturing skills. The caption reads "Competition in nature". Another features two Indians having buried a cowboy up to his neck by an anthill, one of the Indians calling the other one an idiot because he brought mayonnaise instead of honey. And another featuring "Charlie Brown in Indian country." Overlapping with Beach Bury, one has a kid burying his father with the following (paraphrased) caption: "Billy, the tide's coming in... Billy, unbury Daddy now... You don't want Daddy to get angry..." |

In the Jake 2.0 episode "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", Jake has to infiltrate a black-ops military unit called the Wolfpack to investigate a missing suitcase nuke. As the newest and most untrusted member, Jake is subjected to some brutal hazing; finally he uses his abilities and a bit of knockout gas to inflict the nonlethal, no-scorpions version of this trope on the entire team so that they are discovered the next morning as a row of heads sticking up out of the ground along the road into camp. After they're dug up, the team then accept Jake as having their level of game. | |

Discworld: In Soul Music, the Klatchian Foreign Legion once does this to Death, who's enlisted in a vain attempt to forget his troubles. It is intended as a torturous form of discipline, but the Grim Reaper merely finds it dull. One of the capital punishments from the days when Ankh-Morpork still had conventional laws was to be tied to one of the city bridge's pilings at low tide, then left there for 24 hours. As the Ankh, like the Thames in London, rises with the tides, this is functionally equivalent to the "sand necktie", as per the example below. Also possibly equivalent to conventional live burial, depending on whether the Ankh's toxic sludge really qualifies as "water". |

During a period when Something Awful seemed intent on making Wink Martindale their Sitcom Archnemesis, one of their articles about him claimed that "Wink Martindale buries cowboys up to their neck in the hard pan dirt of the desert and drives off laughing. He doesn't even care enough to watch them die." A later article retracted this, admitting that "He does care, he just has too much on his schedule to stand around watching cowboys die all day." | |

Sons of Anarchy: When the Sons visit their allies at the local Native Reservation who supply them with homegrown drugs, they witness the Indian tribal leader disposing of a man who crossed him by burying the man up to his neck, covering him in honey and setting fire ants on him. When the condemned man later overhears the biker leader conspiring behind the chief's back, the bikers kill him to make sure he won't be able to talk. | |

Wolverine once does this on a beach, with the tide coming in, to an old man who had, decades earlier, tormented him while Wolverine was in one of his endless experimentation/black ops involvements. He makes note of the fact that the man had repented and spent years trying to make up for it, but buries him anyway. Given the sheer amount of punishment Wolverine goes through on a daily basis, it seems rather excessive. | |

Indy thinks he has several hours to think of an escape plan before the tide comes in. However, the cliffhanger involves rock crabs — who strip the flesh from a full-grown seal in minutes — coming in ahead of the tide and surrounding him. | |

In Assassin's Creed Origins, Bayek of Siwa is subjected to this fate after he trusted the wrong people (and the one who does it to him is infamous for their infatuation with this particular method of killing). He manages to free his right arm pretty quickly but doesn't get farther than that on his own, being forced to suffer disturbing hallucinations of all the people he lost and failed. It's his horse that eventually pulls him out of the sand after some... encouragement by Bayek's pet eagle Senu. Once free, he recovers remarkably quickly, gets his equipment back from a nearby fort's armory, and goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. | |

This is how Madeline finally deals with Tony in Thriller: A Cruel Picture. But she doesn't stop there — she ties a noose around him, ties the rope to a horse, and then puts a bucket of water just out of the horse's reach so that when the horse goes to drink, Tony's neck will be snapped. | |

Happens to the title character (played by Dwayne Johnson) in The Scorpion King — next to a massive colony of inch-long fire ants. Apparently, this is a standard method of executing criminals, as two thieves received the same fate. One of the thieves, somehow, manages to free himself, but the Scorpion King needs to be rescued. In the meantime, though, he fights back against the fire ants...with his chin. | |
