Line 4:
[[Alice and Bob|Bob and Alice]] are in a competitive mood and ready to prove one's superiority over the other. Or maybe they're just hanging around on the couch with nothing to do other than drink lots of gassy beverages. In any case, they decide that there is a competition in order. How will they choose to match their skills? Playing a game of chess? Video games? Pistols at dawn? Nope. They'll just chug their drinks and belch. Loudest belch wins.
 
Basically, a [['''Burping Contest]]''' is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|exactly what it sounds like]]. It happens in fiction, but clearly this is inspired by that timeless party game, most popular amongst the frat boy demographic but enjoyed by many children and adults around the world. This is a favored activity of the [[Gasshole]], even if the person they challenge doesn't accept.
 
{{examples}}
 
== Fan Fic ==
* One occurs between Klein and Calvin in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes The Series (Fanfic)|Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]''.
* Another occurs in an ''[[Animaniacs]]'' fanfic in which characters from the show crashed a contest featuring newer Kids WB characters in what was possibly an attempt to gain back fame. All the notable characters appeared but not surprisingly Wakko won. Amusingly, Hello Nurse came in what appeared to be second.
 
 
== Film ==
* A sort of burping contest happens in the 1959 version of ''[[Ben -Hur]]'' when Ben Hur is treated to dinner by the local sheik. After the sheik lets out a huge burp, he looks to Ben, who gives a blank look back until prompted by nonverbal cues by Balthasar to let out his own (smaller, but still audible) burp.
** Not a burping contest. In certain cultures, burping after the meal means you apreciatedappreciated it, and NOT''not'' urpingburping is unpolite.
** A similar incident happens in ''[[Film/Indiana Jones and The Temple Ofof Doom (Film)|Indiana Jones and The Temple Ofof Doom]]''.
* One of the [[Hilarious Outtakes|"outtakes"]] from [[Pixar|Pixar]]'s]] ''[[A Bug's Life (Animation)|A Bugs Life]]'' had [[Funny Foreigner|Tuck and Roll]] (the pillbugs) interrupting a scene to have themselves a [[Burping Contest|burping contest]].
* It happens in the first live action ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' movie, between Shaggy and Scooby.
* In ''[[Revenge of the Nerds]]'', Dudley "Booger" Dawson goes up against Ogre in one during the Frat Olympics. Booger wins the contest (by releasing a belch that goes on for nearly a minute).
Line 23:
** Parodied, as was the film itself, in the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "Wasted Talent", where they have fart to get out of it.
* ''Unaccompanied Minors'' has one.
* As does ''[[Daddy Day Camp]]''.
 
 
== Live Action TV ==
* A regular tenet of the annual [[Nickelodeon]] Kids' Choice Awards is the celebrity burp-off, which is exactly what it sounds like. Winners have included Cameron Diaz, Hugh Jackman, and the penguins from ''[[Madagascar]]''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxUgALZuacw This sketch] from ''Good Night Burbank'', unusual in that both contestants are female.
* An episode of ''[[ALF (TV)|ALF]]'' had the title character inviting a blind friend of his over to dinner. He then challenges her to a game of "guess the belch". Alf belches, and his friend chastises him with a cry of "Alf!" He, [[Completely Missing the Point]], replies with, "No, no! You don't guess ''who'' belched, you guess ''what they ate!''"

== Western Animation ==
* Happened twice on ''[[El Tigre|ElTigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera]]''. In one episode, Manny and the Zebra Donkey have one of these at an ice cream shop, and in another, Manny and Frida try to out-burp each other [[For Science!|in the name of science]]. Their teacher doesn't buy it.
* One episode of the ''[[The Lion King|Timon & Pumbaa]]'' [[Spin-Off|spin-off series]] had Pumbaa competing against a barnyard pig in a contest that would determine who was the piggiest of them all. One of the trials consisted of this.
* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Homer Simpson]] had one with [[The Critic|Jay Sherman]] in their crossover episode. In fact the only other person who can come close to Jay's skill is author Eudora Welty.

** One of the original Tracey Ullman shorts featured one between Bart and Lisa, with late entries from Maggie and Homer, and Marge trying to put a stop to the whole thing.
** Then there's this bit of dialogue after Homer becomes an artist (something that has always been Marge's dream.)
{{quote| '''Marge''': How would ''you'' feel if I won a..a belching contest?<br />
'''Homer''': Actually, I'd be kinda [[Geeky Turn On|turned on.]] }}
* One ''[[Muppet Babies]]'' episode featured a burping contest between rocks.
** And one between Animal and Piggy's doll. The doll wins.
* ''Purple & Brown'' has a short of them making a [[Gasshole|farting]] and belching contest.
* In ''[[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' Bloo and a snobby [[Imaginary Friend|imaginary friend]] named Blake Superior have a musical contest involving different bodily functions. Bloo hiccups and Blake burps. In the end, [[Dark Horse Victory|they both lose]] to an imaginary friend who made fart noises with his armpits.
* At the end of an episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', Timmy utterly dominates a burping contest. Shortly afterwards, Cosmo notes that a farting contest is coming up, and advises Wanda to start cooking again.
* In an episode of ''[[Bump in Thethe Night]]'' that revolves around Mr. Bumpy repeatedly travelling back through time to try and prevent himself from hurting Squishington's feelings, one of the ways in which he chases off his past-time duplicate is by winning one of these. The winning belch actualy blows his opponent right off of the desk.
* Kuzco has one with a manatee in ''[[The Emperor's New School (Animation)|The Emperors New School]]'', followed by a conversation with an angry Malina that mirror's Homer's and Marge's above.
* In the ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Ed Edd n Eddy]]'' episode ''For The Ed, By The Ed'', Ed and Eddy have one of these while emptying bottles of soda to pawn. Eddy urges Edd to join in, but Edd seemed incapable of letting out a single belch, until he lets out a huge one during one of his sentences.
* In ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'', when Chris splits the teams up into guys vs. girls, the guys bond over one of these at their cabin. The winning burp, Geoff's, is so loud that it actually singes the fur off some squirrels hanging around outside. In a similar, albeit non-contest related, incident in the hour-long special that followed the first season, Izzy tries to teach Eva how to burp loudly. She chugs some soda and eats ninety-five marshmallows, then belches so powerfully she causes a tidal wave in a nearby pool. [[Geeky Turn On|Owen thinks that's really hot.]]
* One of the [[wikipedia:SKWOD|SKWOD]] shorts features one of these between Jax, Kick, and Logan with a pile of snacks as the prize. Jax is about to claim her winnings when a tremendous belch echoes throughout the halls. It came from Seth, who shows up and asks what everyone else is doing before spying the snacks and digging in.
* Octus (as Newton) and Meat have one in ''[[Sym -Bionic Titan]]''. Being a [[Ridiculously Human Robot]], Octus wins quite easily.
* In the ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' episode "The Spirit of Competition" Korra and Bolin get into one on their date, much to the horror of the other patrons in the restaurant. Korra seems to come out on top.
