Nose Nuggets: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Gintama]]'' has everything from a nosepicking protagonist to an entire episode centered on the snot dangling from Kondo's nose.

* ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'' had a Snot based [[Monster of the Week]]. That's par for the course of this show.

* Takasu from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' had this habit, and the worst part about it was, it wasn't even ''close'' to being his worst trait. The dub version edited the nosepicking out, one of the few things that fans didn't criticize the dubbers for.

 

 

* ''[[Revenge of the Nerds]]'' had a character named Booger, who had a fascination with the topic...

* ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', the scene where they're in the tree petting the brachiosaurus, and it sneezes on the girl, covering her in snot.

* ''[[Ace Ventura]]: When Nature Calls'' played this hilariously when Ace is making a long snort displaying his affection to the chief. They exit the hut laughing with snot all over their faces.

** Including ''Ace himself''.

* [[Dave Barry]] absolutely ''cannot'' resist booger jokes. He even lampshaded the trope by calling a volume ''Boogers Are My Beat''.

** Another Dave Barry example: the [[Round Robin]] book ''Naked Came the Manatee'' was instigated by Barry, who named the eponymous manatee "Booger." The rest of the authors then had to roll with it.

* In ''[[Matilda (novel)|Matilda]]'', there is mention of the boy down the road who picked his nose [[Sticky Situation|without realising he had Superglue on his finger]], with disastrous results.

 

* ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' - "''BOOGER!''"

* In the ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "The Pick", Jerry's girlfriend breaks up with him, after seeing him picking his nose (he was actually only scratching it).

* ''[[Dick and Dom in da Bungalow]]'' had a filmed segment called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-W_EVOrKZU Bogies], where the hosts competed to shout, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"bogies"]] in a public place. Complete with Snotometer on screen to show the volume reached.

 

* [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] - "Gotta Boogie". ("Gotta boogie on my finger and I can't shake it off!")

* [[Biz Markie]] - "Pickin' Boogers". ("So go up your nose with a finger or two / And pull out one or a crusty crew!")

''(A marvel to be seen: dysentery green)}}

 

* In one ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' strip, Calvin walks outside in the cold, then wrinkles his nose before making an [[Aside Glance]] and saying, "Don't you hate it when your boogers freeze?" Lampshaded in an anthology, where Bill Watterson wrote, "I hope some historian will confirm that I was the first cartoonist to use the word 'booger' in a newspaper comic strip."

* There's a ''[[Garfield]]'' strip where he spends the first panel picking his nose. After a [[Beat Panel]], he looks out to the viewer and says, "[[Medium Awareness|I'm on, aren't I?]]"

 

* ''[[Boogerman]]: A Pick and Flick Adventure''

* Zill from several ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' games (originating from Wind Waker) has a trail of snot dangling from his nose that's at least as tall as he is.

* No snot is actually seen but every ''[[Wario Ware]]'' game has a microgame that involves picking a nose.

 

* The [[Trope Namer]] is an episode of ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'', where King Julien gets trapped in Burt the elephant's trunk. When he finally gets out, he says that his life "and many nose nuggets" flashed before his eyes.

** In another episode, a one-shot walrus named Rhonda moves into Marlene the otter's habitat. Rhonda has a sinus problem, which causes Marlene to get covered in snot at least twice.

** When Private is dosed with [[Truth Serum]] and starts revealing the secrets of all the other animals, he announces that Julien picks his nose. Cut to Julien, two knuckles deep in his nostril in front of all the other zoosters. He yanks his finger out and yelps "Aah! My secret gold-digging shame exposed!"

* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Jimmy noting how gross a [[Bedsheet Ghost]] looked, then turning around and seeing Beezy picking his nose.
