Girls Have Cooties: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

'''Marcus:''' Does lava burn off cooties?|''[[FoxTrot]]''}}

* [[The Frantics]] sketch "Outgrossing" invovles two boys trying to out-gross each other (turning their eyelids inside-out, etc.). A girl comes along and says she can out-gross them both, which they have a hard time believing - until she describes exactly how.

== Comic Books ==

* Shutaro from ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' follows this trope hilariously:

== Film ==

* William Brown in the ''[[Just William]]'' books can be quite the [[Kidanova]] with his chivalrous pining for [[Girl Next Door]] Joan and susceptibility to pretty actresses. But Violet Elizabeth Bott leaves him shaken to the core:

'It's all very well saying ''that'',' said Douglas. 'But some old girl is prob'ly going to marry ''you''.' }}

* In ''[[Artemis Fowl]] and the Time Paradox'', 10-year-old Artemis says of {{spoiler|Holly and 14-year-old Artemis}} kissing that you wouldn't catch ''him'' wasting time like that. Not as vehement as some of the other examples, but does contain built-in proof he'll grow out of it: Within three years, back in the second book (or at least non-U.S. editions thereof), he's consciously aware that he'll be attracted to Holly when he's older.

* [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0066.html Thog] from ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]''. Probably [[Psychopathic Manchild|an adult, but with the mind of a child]].

** The Monster in the Darkness acts like this as well.

'''Monster:''' No, silly! She's a ''girl''! }}

* Even demons have fear of cooties in ''[http://www.drunkduck.com/Charby_the_Vampirate/4968524/ Charby the Vampirate]''.

* Akiko Kitsune in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' was happy that the sister hangs out with a girl [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-02-17 because boys are weird and gross]. Of course, from this point the situation was bound to get more and more awkward.

* In ''[[Thistil Mistil Kistil]]'', [http://tmkcomic.depleti.com/comic/ch06-pg15/ one of Coal's objections to bringing Hedda].

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', because of [[Negative Continuity]], is all over the place with this one. Bart will go from apparently genuinely thinking girls have cooties, to making out with a girl, and then right back to thinking they have cooties.

* Subverted on an episode of ''[[King of the Hill]]'', when Bobby is invited to a sleepover at a girl ([[She Is Not My Girlfriend|note the space]]) friend's house:

'''Bobby:''' [[From the Mouths of Babes|Oh, you mean like chlamydia]]?<br />

'''Hank:''' Huh? }}
