Bottomless Bladder/Playing With

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Basic Trope: A character runs non-stop through his/her to-do list...which does not include mundane tasks like eating, drinking, using the toilet, changing clothes, etc.

  • Played Straight: Bob kills a bunch of Mooks, saves the princess, and defeats the Big Bad without taking a break.
  • Exaggerated: The amount of time covered in doing the above tasks? A month.
  • Inverted:
    • Bob's to-do list is use the toilet, shower, change clothes, have lunch, etc.
    • A lá FATAL, Bob is capable of urination without a drop of fluid in his body.
  • Justified: The amount of time it takes for Bob to complete his quests is relatively short (an hour or less)
  • Subverted: Bob decides to take a bathroom break after rescuing Princess Alice
  • Double Subverted: But then decides it wouldn't be proper to pee in front of a lady and decides to hold it.
  • Deconstructed: Bob suffers from a rare condition in which he simply does not feel hunger, thirst, or urges to use the bathroom.
  • Reconstructed: His body has adapted to this condition, so even after it's cured, he still doesn't need to do those things very often.
  • Parodied: Bob stores his unneeded belongings in his kitchen and bathroom, since he rarely uses either of those rooms.
  • Lampshaded: "Shouldn't we take a break?"
  • Averted:
  • Enforced: Bladder of Steel
  • Invoked: The player behind Bob is playing for hours
  • Defied: See "Averted"
  • Played For Laughs:
