Jokes about boogers and/or snot. Used often for the sake of grossout and/or immaturity. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|'Snot that hard]] to write a joke about all things mucus-related, so you shouldn't have to [[Overly Long Gag|dig that deep to pick out a good example of this joke]]. See also [[Toilet Humor]], [[Snot Bubble]].
{{examples|Examples:}}▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[
* ''[[Panty
* ''[[One Piece]]''
** Many characters
** Trebol, a villain from the Dressrosa Arc, takes it [[Up to Eleven]] with his disgusting but ''very'' dangerous ''Beta Beta no Mi'' Devil Fruit power which turns his mucus into a weapon. He constantly produces it in excess, and can use it as a powerful adhesive (using it offensively on opponents, or on himself to stick to walls or make himself slippery), use it like a grapple, and fire off lethal snot-bullets. It's also flammable, enabling him to use his nose like a flamethrower.
* 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.
== [[Fan
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' fic ''[[The Girl Who Loved]]'', Usagi and Harry notice eight-year-old Luthien Greengrass at the Wizengamot meeting to determine his guardianship while she is thoroughly engaged in picking her nose. This seems to be a habit of hers; her older sister Daphne refers to her as "Princess Bogeypicker".
▲* ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]'' has everything from a nosepicking protagonist to an entire episode centered on the snot dangling from Kondo's nose.
▲* ''[[Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt (Anime)|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'' had a Snot based [[Monster of the Week]]. That's par for the course of this show.
▲* Many characters in ''[[One Piece]]'' frequently pick their noses. During the Baratie arc, Luffy taints Zoro's drink with his snot, which Zoro then forces Luffy to drink. And then we have Mr. 5, who with his "Nose Fancy Cannon" flicks explosive boogers at his opponents...
== Film ==▼
▲== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[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.

* In ''[[Treasure Planet]]'', Dr. Doppler gets a faceful of [[Space Whale]] snot.
* At the end of ''Money Train'', the two brothers get even with a [[Jerkass]] who spat at Wesley Snipe's character by simultaneously punching him out and then firing off two snot rockets at him while he's down.
Line 22 ⟶ 25:
* ''[[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''.
* In ''[[Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory]]'', Violet Beauregard enthusiastically picks her nose while declaring spitting to be a dirty habit.
{{quote|'''Wonka:''' I know a worse one.}}
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[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.
* The ''[[Captain Underpants]]'' series has Bionic Booger Boy.
* Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans in ''[[Harry Potter]]'' have 'bogey' among their varieties. That is, of course, [[British English]] for 'booger'.
* In ''[[Matilda (

* ''[[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).
* In the new ''[[

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* 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?]]"
* In a ''[[For Better or For Worse]]'' [http://catalog.fborfw.com/strips/09/091122.jpg strip,]{{Dead link}} Michael and John play a game called "Booger Beasts," where you can play on the "slimer" team or the "crust" team.

* 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 ''[[
== Western Animation ==▼
* 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!"
* Several of
▲** Yes, they were his magic Nose Goblins; Stimpy picked them himself. He even spoke to them in another episode to ask of the whereabouts of his missing flatulence, which the boogers thought was just ''crazy''.
▲* Several of ''[[Chowder]]'''s [[Gross Up Close Up|Gross Up Close Ups]] on the title character feature strings of snot hanging off his nose.
▲* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': "I found a moon rock in my nose!"
* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Jimmy noting how gross a [[Bedsheet Ghost]] looked, then turning around and seeing Beezy picking his nose.
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' has a recurring villain called the Common Cold, who can use his snot as a weapon.
* There are a lot of jokes about this in an episode of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'' where the antagonist is a nasalmancer, a wizard who practices nose magic. ("It's not a very popular school of wizardry", according to Grim.) Grim comments in the episode that he thinks nosepicking is among the stupidest things mortals do.
