Burping Contest: Difference between revisions

Basically, a [[Burping Contest]] is [[Exactly What It Says On 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.

* One occurs between Klein and Calvin in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes The Series (Fanfic)|Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]''.

* 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.

* 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]].

* 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!''"

* In ''[[Fosters 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.

* In an episode of ''[[Bump in The 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.]]

* 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.
