- Tropey, stop biting that! You're going to pull out the stitches! I mean it! C'mere you! ...much better! In veterinary practice, the Elizabethan Collar (known colloquially as a 'cone') has the purpose of promoting healing of a wound by preventing the animal from messing with it. It's effective enough. However, there is one big problem with this device... It looks absolutely ridiculous. The Trope Namer is the movie Up, which uses the collar as more of a torture device than for medical purposes. Examples of Cone of Shame include:

| - The Cone of Shame is an award granted to dogs who show incompetence and idiocy in the line of combat. Numerous dogs have been granted this UnPrestigious award since its creation in 1810. When a dog is given the cone of shame, he must wear it until he is given a pardon or he simply removes it (but dogs forget how to remove it because they are stupid). The cone of shame was first created by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1810. After he created the Medal of Dishonor, he began awarding it to Everybody. But then he lost a lot of money (due to gambling problems) and had to replace his horses with dogs. Many of these dogs were stupid. He began awarding the medal of dishonor to them, but then realized dogs don't wear medals. He then made them cones instead. This became the cone of shame.

In veterinary practice, the Elizabethan Collar (known colloquially as a 'cone') has the purpose of promoting healing of a wound by preventing the animal from messing with it. It's effective enough. However, there is one big problem with this device... It looks absolutely ridiculous. It often appears as a large, white, plastic cone. Though a variety of alternatives to this design are on the market, this is the most recognizable. It makes the wearer look almost pathetic. Though the reason for it is usually medical, the result is a silly appearance and reduced line of sight. It is not abnormal to see a dog or cat with it on to run into walls or get stuck in a tight space. For this, it makes an appearance repeatedly in fiction. If it's a show with talking animals or funny animals, expect this to pop up at least once. The Trope Namer is the movie Up, which uses the collar as more of a torture device than for medical purposes. Examples of Cone of Shame include:
