{{trope}}
[[File:
A [[Comedy Tropes|Comedy Trope]] that also functions as a sort of Tension Breaker, in which a character is so shocked or surprised that [[Bring My Brown Pants|they lose complete control of their bowels]]. Of course we don't actually see this happen, we instead get [[Stock Visual Metaphors|a quirky little visual metaphor]] to let us know what they mean. It's a subtle way of ([[Incredibly Lame Pun|wait for it]]) [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼
▲== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* In a rare non-comedy example, during ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'' episode 2, "Escape From The Dead", a student in the infirmary drops a push-broom in this manner when one of the victims they are tending to starts to reawaken as a zombie.
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'': {{spoiler|Near the end of the climactic tank fight sequence, almost everyone, including Donovan, Ilsa, Brody, Henry Jones, Sr., and (probably) a handful of Nazi's have abandoned the tank, which is now careening towards the edge of a very, ''very'' steep cliff. The only two people who are still oblivious to this fact are Indy and SS Colonel Vogel, who are locked in a rather vicious, back-and-forth fistfight. When they do manage to realize it (with seconds to spare), Indy's trademark fedora is whipped off the back of his head by a strong and sudden gust of wind as the camera focuses on his [[Oh Crap]] face}}.
* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2'': Mr. Potato Head's rear compartment pops open spilling his accessories after seeing the luggage conveyor belt.
* ''[[Finding Nemo]]'': Nemo's classmate, Pearl the octopus, "inks" [[Book Ends|on two occasions]].
** [[Justified Trope|This is actually the default reaction for ink-producing mollusks when faced with a dangerous or stressful situation - they do this to use the ink as cover/an irritant and swim away.]]
Line 30 ⟶ 28:
* In ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: [[At Worlds End]]'', Pintel and Ragetti each grab a cannonball, planning to drop them on the bodies floating in the water while escaping Davey Jones' Locker. As they're about to, they see Tia Dalma standing there. The camera cuts to their lower bodies, as they drop the cannonballs in a way that resembles this trope.
* In ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'': After nearly being discovered by Randall in the bathroom, we see a huge splash in the stall Sully, Mike, and Boo are hiding in. Boo sums it up best.
{{quote|
** Subverted in the next scene, when we see an up-close shot of Mike's legs completely soaked, implying that he slipped and fell in, with Boo still understanding how gross that was.
== [[Literature]] ==
* Referenced in ''1635: The Cannon Law'', one of the books in the ''[[1632]]''

'''Petey''': You look like you're thinking maybe the plumbing in here needs to accommodate flushed bricks. }}
* In ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' a half-spider Daemon Princess [http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2014-06-29/comic/tangled-web/gotta-go-fast/ mentioned] that Harold (who was quietly freaking out from the moment he noticed her due to his deep arachnophobia) "looks like he's about to excrete a cinderblock".
Line 68 ⟶ 66:
* [[Transformers|Optimus Prime]] lost a considerable deal of oil after seeing The Terminators of ''[[Terminator Salvation]]'' in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRhCOSseP6Y this review].

Line 76 ⟶ 74:
* As pictured in ''[[Futurama]]'' this happens whenever Bender is frightened and he literally shits bricks. Something of a [[Running Gag]].
** Or when he eats chips with Olestra in them.
** The writers got quite a bit of <s>shit</s> bricks [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|past the radar]] in ''Lethal Inspection'' when Bender suggested everyone get [[The Alcoholic|brickfaced]].
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': "Chocolate With Nuts" After being cornered by "The Chocolate Maniac," who reveals that he wants to buy all their chocolate. A pile of chocolate bars fall out of Patrick's pants and is crowned by a tiny chocolate kiss.
