|Dog, '''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'''}}
Animated show that relies heavily on ugly animation, [[Nausea Fuel|displeasing concepts]] and [[Gross Up Close-Up|extreme close-ups]] of things such as hairy, warty green tongues, stink-line-laden sewage sandwiches, and [[Toilet Humour|toilets that haven't been cleaned in a long time]].
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
Pioneered by [[John Kricfalusi]] with ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'', this type of show dominated children's animation in the late 1990s. The animation house Klasky-Csupo and the studio Spumco specialized in animation of this style. Many of these clones failed to realize, however, that the success of Ren and Stimpy was also due to excellent writing, [[Refuge in Vulgarity|not just to the presence of icky, stinky things]].
{{examples|
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Ippatsu Kikimusume]]'', aka ''Miss Crisis Moment'', is this trope in four-minute chunks. Kunyan survives each life-threatening situation by executing a preposterous escape plan that [[Crosses the Line Twice]], often to the point of [[Nightmare Fuel]]. If you watch this, you ''will'' be grossed out. You will also learn physics. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYYIDPUUpEo Check one out on YouTube] if you dare...)
* ''[[Kyoufu no Kyochan]]'', a parody of "Obake no Q-taro" written by the comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto, the series is about a kid and his ugly critter (with a strange likeness with [[Beavis and
* ''[[Panty & Stocking with
* Volume 5 of ''[[Tactics]]''. There's lots of shit.
* Earlier volumes of ''[[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]]'' relied on this trope. The series has since lessened though, just becoming a [[Widget Series]].
* There's a... charming series of shorts in Japan known
* ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]''

** Probably the most infamous of these was 'The Zit'. Drawn by Tom Bunk (go figure), it resulted in a ''lot'' of letters to the editor's desk.▼
** Its carried over to the cartoon version too.▼
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Year One]]''. A movie about two cavemen who randomly stumble into the Bible stories, but with numerous disgusting scenes, such as Jack Black eating poop, and Michael Cera peeing all over his face.
* ''[[Freddy Got Fingered]]''.
* ''[[American Pie]]'' does this from time to time, mainly with any scene involving Stifler. In the first movie, he drinks a glass of beer with cum in it. In the second one, he gets peed on. In the third one, he eats dog shit.
*
* More or less the whole ''ouvre'' of [[John Waters]].
* ''[[Shark Tale]]''
Line 36 ⟶ 34:
* ''[[The Garbage Pail Kids Movie]]''
* ''[[Flubber]]''
* ''
* ''[[The Hot Chick]]'' and at an even lesser extent ''[[The Benchwarmers]]''
* ''[[50 First Dates]]''
Line 42 ⟶ 40:
* The [[Video Nasty]] genre.
* The [[Slasher Flick]] genre.
* Too many Arthouse films to count (
* ''[[Stand by Me]]'', specifically the part where Gordie tells story about the pie-eating contest where a fat kid gets revenge on bullies by making the whole audience puke.
== [[Literature]] ==
* A fictional example: Since the ''[[Nightside]]'' is inimical to the internet
{{quote|"There are some [[Things Man Was Not Meant to Know|things man is just not meant to know,]] [[But You Screw One Goat!|let alone do with a moose.]]"}}
* The [http://www.amazon.com/Great-Puke-Off-Barf-Rama-No/dp/0553484060 ''Barf-O-Rama''] series of children's paperbacks was based on this trope.
* ''[[Captain Underpants]]'', a series where just about 95% of the characters, plots, and events have something to do with [[Toilet Humour]].
* The Australian children's novel ''[[The Day My Bum Went Psycho]]'' (''Butt'' in North America) and its sequels, ''Zombie Bums from Uranus'', and ''Bumageddon: The Final Pongflict''. The titles should be a dead giveaway.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
* ''[[Silent Library]]''
* ''[[Fear Factor]]'', despite its name, is best known for having contestants eat things like live insects.
* ''[[I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
* ''[[Kenny vs. Spenny]]'' rarely avoids this trope, particularly in the humiliation round.
* ''[[
* ''[[Dick and Dom in da Bungalow]]'' nearly got banned for being so gross.
* ''[[Wonder Showzen]]''.
* ''[[Dirty Jobs]]'', at times.
* ''[[Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!]]'' is what you get when you make a reduction of
* Kids' show ''[[Round the Twist]]'' [[Moral Guardians|almost got banned for this]], including ''inappropriate' material such as death, nudity (including references to genitalia), underwear, incest ([[Kissing Under the Influence]]), mild sex references, and relying on your typical gross-out humor staples.
* ''[[Double Dare]]'', a game show built around getting [[Covered in Gunge]].
* ''[[You Can't Do That on Television]]'' pretty much started the trend on ''[[Nickelodeon]]''.
== Periodicals ==
* Many of the comic strips featured in [[Mad|''Mad'' Magazine]]. Actually, pretty much of ''anything'' in ''Mad''; they were doing gross-out humor before it was considered funny.
▲** Probably the most infamous of these was 'The Zit'. Drawn by Tom Bunk (go figure), it resulted in a ''lot'' of letters to the editor's desk.
▲** Its carried over to the cartoon version too.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* About the only example of a [[Tabletop RPG]] in this genre: ''[[Low Life]]'', where among the playable races there are worms, roaches and walking piles of poo.
* ''[[FATAL]]'' most certainly falls under this category, intentionally or not. In no other [[Tabletop RPG]] will you have a need to calculate ''oriface sizes''. Or has detailed rules for ''rape''.
* ''[[Human Occupied Landfill|HOL]]'' includes its fair share as part of its parody of high-level hack-and-slash powergaming.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Boogerman]]'': a superhero whose powers all involved farting, belching, and snot-flicking. Oddly enough, his foes were the type [[Captain Planet]] tended to fight, the type that polluted the world on purpose.
* ''[[Postal
* ''[[Limbo of the Lost]]''. It's very surprising to find such a macabre game that, in only its first half-hour of gameplay, throws worms pulled out of ears and '''snot''' at you as integral parts of puzzle solving.
* ''[[Stupid Invaders]]'', the gross moments are even nastier than ''[[Space Goofs]]''
* ''[[The Binding of Isaac]]'' is very generous with this when not making Biblical
* ''[[Earthworm Jim]]'' contain a level called "Snot A Problem!"
== [[Web Original]] ==
* ''[[The Angry Video Game Nerd]]''. Mostly, it's just the titular character talking about shit in great detail, but there are plenty of scenes with fake poop and vomit.
* ''[[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]'' is/was a satire wiki that isn't afraid to delve into [[Squick
* The [[
▲* Many [[Troll Fic|Troll Fics]].
▲* The [[Deviant ART]] group [http://ovarypuncher.deviantart.com/ OvaryPuncher] is specifically for this sort of thing.
* The ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' animation "In Search of the Yello Dello."
* ''[[What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?]]''
* ''[[The Cinema Snob]]'' usually reviews these.
* ''[[Brows Held High]]'' is mostly about letting us know about how sick Arthouse films can be.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'', the [[Trope Maker]] and [[Trope Codifier]].
* Many entries of [[Cartoon Network]]'s ''[[What a Cartoon]]'' series went with that kind of humor. Most of those that were continued as their own series (''[[Powerpuff Girls]], [[Cow and Chicken]], [[I Am Weasel]], [[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'', etc.) used it at least occasionally.▼
