In The Wild West and other American Frontier settings, a common form of mob justice short of actually lynching a wrongdoer (or suspected one) is to cover them with tar and feathers, parade them through town riding a rail, and run them out of town. May be found in other settings as well, and the sticky substance may not always be tar. Tarring and feathering seems to be the epitome of American folk justice (well, if we exclude lynching, that is). The belief that it is extremely dangerous seems to be an overreaction to the belief it was purely comic, there seems to be no corroboration on the use of boiling tar for this purpose (frankly, pouring boiling tar over a person's body is moving into lynching territory). The essential aspect of the punishment was to use the filthiest feathers possible. Often played for comedic effect, but the reality was that this was hardly a mild punishment; being run out of town without your belongings was harsh in itself, and the physical damage inflicted by the tar varied wildly, ranging from being a mild irritant requiring hours of scrubbing to clean off your skin if it's relatively cool (pine tar becomes a spreadable liquid at about 25° C / 77° F) to causing life-threatening burns if the tar is near boiling. In addition, they tended to suffer fairly severe injuries from being forced to straddle the rail. Note: The rail in question would be a splintery wooden fence rail, not a steel track section as shown in the page illustration. Even an angry mob would be hard-pressed to lift someone on one of those. |

Bone: After his Mystery Cow scam was exposed near the end of "The Great Cow Race" arc, Phoney Bone was tied to a stake and pelted with eggs by his outraged suckers. It's strongly implied that they would have done much, much worse if Lucius and Gran'ma Ben hadn't agreed to pay Phoney's debts. | |

The Simpsons In "Treehouse of Horror XVIII," one of Marge Simpson's sisters appears to have been tarred and feathered from a Halloween prank. In "Bart of Darkness," Bart gets Grandpa Simpson tarred and feathered. In the final segment of "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" parodying Freaks, the circus freaks chop Homer's limbs off and tar and feather him. The credits show that he later gained fame as the "world's strongest duck." In "At Long Last Leave," Homer is tarred and feathered as the family is driven out of town. Just Homer, of course. |

The 2008 HBO miniseries John Adams featured a fictionalized scene of Adams witnessing a British tax collector being tarred and feathered by an angry Boston mob. In this case it is shown as a frightful form of torture and there is nothing funny about it. The title character quite aptly calls it barbarism. See the Real Life section for the possibly apocryphal real basis of the scene. | |

Tatort: In the Western parody "Der höllische Heinz", Kommissar Lessing is eavesdropping on the subjects. A directional microphone would have been a better idea than climbing on a convenient shaky scaffold. He promptly crash-lands in a convenient tar barrel. (Admittedly no feathers, because a surplus chicken stampede or whatnot would have stretched it. note Word of God confirmed they had an idea but edited out for too much hassle. | |

Total Drama: Harold tries to stop the moving train in "Get a Clue" by throwing something at the wheels to block them. First he throws a bottle of soda pop. It bursts open and the sticky substances splashes all over Harold. Next he throws a pillow. It also bursts open and the feathers blast all over Harold. Due to the layer of soda pop, the feathers stick to him. On the train in "Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles", Heather tries to defend herself from Ezekiel by throwing whatever she can grab at him. Most of it is food, but when she readies herself to throw a bowl of porridge, the train hits a bump and she herself becomes covered. Her next move is to grab a pillow to protect herself from Ezekiel's attack now that he has an opening. The pillow is ripped open and the feathers stick to the layer of porridge on Heather. Scott has to build himself a set of wings in "Up, Up, and Away in My Pitiful Balloon" and gets well underway with a whole batch of mutant seagull feathers and a thick glue. However, Zoey is fixing up her flying machine nearby and obliviously gives it a test run. The air blown from the machine travels over and lifts the glue-covered feathers right onto Scott. |

Nero Wolfe: In Death of a Dude, when Archie questions a friend of one suspect (the murder victim had gotten the girl he loved pregnant and then deserted her), the friend says that she had indeed encouraged the suspect to seek revenge that day, but that he'd planned to tar and feather the man, not kill him. This causes Archie to reflect that at least now he knows why said suspect had visited a chicken farm and a roofing business that day, as he'd apparently planned to go through with the tarring and feathering before his victim turned up dead and been gathering the supplies. | |

Lucky Luke: Happens regularly to Card Sharps and gamblers who push their luck too far, and sometimes, in the more lawless frontier towns, to local law enforcement. A recurring gambler receives this comment: "Scat! I didn't recognize you without the feathers!" One story had a Cattle Baron's mooks repeatedly fail to intimidate farmers into leaving, coming back tarred and feathered every time. To the point where one of them doesn't even want to get cleaned up anymore since it's just going to happen again. |

Unfortunately for them, Bob becomes aware of the trap and ducks before Vince and Spinelli can spray him with grease, resulting in T.J. getting sprayed instead. Then Mikey launches a box of feathers into the air, resulting in them covering T.J. and the latter being humiliated by Bob in front of everyone on the playground. | |

One episode of The Fairly OddParents! had Mr. Crocker trying to set up a Zany Scheme involving a giant magnet dragging Timmy into a pair of roller skates and sped through this, with the added elements of sticking a glove on his head and throwing him into a nearby Dimmsdale Fried Chicken restaurant. It backfires when he walks out wearing a metal video camera headset. In another episode, Timmy gets tarred and feathered by Vicky. |

Played seriously in Victoria, where this is meted out to an activist judge who uses his powers to protect the gangbangers and drug dealers who prey on the protagonists' friends and family. The man is apparently not badly injured, but certainly does not enjoy the experience. All the more serious, because they use hot modern road tar. Similar in concept if not execution, thirteen federal agents are later forcibly stripped, their butts painted red, and run out of New England in a boxcar. |

Seen in the infamous Jack Acid Society story arc in Pogo, which satirized Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare of the 1950s. The Society is a "bird watchers" group on the look out for migratory birds (read: Communist subversives), and when it's unable to find any, they accuse other characters of being them. Simple J. Malarkey, the strip's version of McCarthy, takes things too far by suggesting that they tar and feather their victims as "proof" that they are birds, and plans to start with his co-conspirators, who turn the tables on him. | |

In It Gets Worse, a Rube Goldberg-esque chain of events causes supervillain Lung to be tarred, feathered, lifted off the ground by a giant balloon, blown up, and then dropped into a sinkhole full of wet cement up to his neck, when he attacks a chicken festival attended by a parahuman with the power of causing unlikely events that chain together to comically neutralize any threat to her or anyone she likes. | |

In Your Highness, Courtney is given this treatment by the dwarves for associating with Thadeous and shows little more than some annoyance. | |
