Here's your medication. What? No, it's actually not a pill, it's what we call a "suppository." You see, instead of swallowing it, you wedge it in an orifice and let it dissolve there. Which orifice, you ask? Well, bend over...
Because they're easily confused for pills, and usually go in the butt, there's a fair bit of comedy stemming from suppositories. Often they'll be comically large, prompting someone who mistakes it for a pill to wonder how they'll swallow it.

Several entries on Not Always Right involve suppositories. One pharmacy employee remarks that suppositories are the only context where they can tell a customer "Up yours!" and get away with it.

Futurama:
In "The Deep South", Professor Farnsworth gives Fry a "pressure pill" that will allow him to withstand the deep-sea pressure and looks like a large black egg.
In "I Second That Emotion", one woman takes her dog, which has a head at either end, to the vet, who tells her that "Rover gets the pill and Pepper gets the suppository".

The Venture Bros.: In "The Forecast Manufacturer", Dr. Venture uses a blizzard as an excuse to get Billy to test a suppository that regulates a person's temperature. Billy is grossed out at first, only to express delight at how easy it was to insert. That grosses out Dr. Venture and he says it's Too Much Information, but Billy counters that this is a test, so it's exactly the right amount of information and he really should be writing these results down.

Family Guy:
In "Eight Simple Rules For Buying My Teenage Daughter", Peter asks Mort the pharmacist if the suppositories he sells are available in any other flavors. Mort asks if he's been eating them, to which Peter responds sarcastically "No, I'm shoving them up my butt, of course I'm eating them!"
In "Once Bitten", Brian has a weak liver due to his alcoholism, so a doctor prescribes suppositories. Brian is less than enthused when Peter attempts to insert them and it culminates in him biting Peter on the arm, setting the episode's plot in motion. Also parodied in one Cutaway Gag where Lassie asks Timmy to give her a suppository, but it turns out she wasn't actually sick and just got sexual pleasure from it.
