Line 73:
* The [[The Seventies|1970s]] [[Disney]] movie ''The Apple Dumpling Gang'' has a [[Running Gag]] of the girl announcing that she has [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|"to go."]]
* At one point in the Korean film ''She's on Duty'', a scientist on the run from criminals meets with his high-school student daughter in the girl's bathroom. While they're in there, the door's locked, and a line of increasingly aggravated girls gather in front of it. Eventually, the door slams open into them, causing [[Potty Failure]]... though by that point their response is more along the lines of "Oh, ''heaven...''"
* Happens to [[Forrest Gump]], simply saying "I gotta pee!" as he meets [[John F. Kennedy|President Kennedy]]. Drinking a dozen Dr. Peppers will do that to you.
* In the [[Matthew Broderick]] movie ''Biloxi Blues''; a soldier in ranks has to pee, and the [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] views his discomfort and makes him do ''two hundred pushups'' before letting him go to the bathroom.
Line 100:
** That particular variant is [[Older Than Television]]; the silent [[Laurel and Hardy]] short ''Liberty'' has escaped convicts Stan and Ollie putting on each other's pants by mistake, and spending much of the film trying to find a suitable place to exchange them. They're repeatedly exposed just as they're dropping their pants together, leading to the onlooker(s) [[Not What It Looks Like|getting the wrong idea]].
** Another non-potty version comes in the [[Batman: The Movie|feature-film version]] of the '60s ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'': "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!"
** And the first episode of ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'' sees George dashing through the woods desperately seeking a place to transform into a werewolf and encountering civilian after civilian. {{spoiler|He ends up going back home instead.}}
* Happens to Hyde, Kelso, Fez, and Jackie from ''[[That 70s Show]]'' after Donna and Eric put laxatives into a batch of brownies they fixed for them.
** After Kelso comes out of the bathroom and marvels at Donna and Eric's "wicked burn," [[Too Dumb to Live|he eats another brownie.]]
Line 160:
== Video Games ==
* Level 5 of ''[[Parappa the Rapper]]'', a video game for [[
** Directly afterwards: "The toilet over there, will bring you luck, so give up, I've got no time to spare!" Who knew hobo frogs wanted to pee too. Plus, when you do 'BAD', it starts raining, when you do 'AWFUL', loud claps of thunder that could scare you, and when you fail, he soils himself. A real man like [[Pa Rappa]] values his functions over his crush's strange bowel torture fetish.
* Very early on in ''[[Persona]] 4'', when you, Yosuke and Chie enter the TV for the first time, Yosuke gets a case of this.
Line 218:
* Henry goes through one of these at the end of the ''[[Ka Blam!]]!'' episode, "Timeless!"
* A [[Nightmare Sequence]] in ''[[Nightmare Ned]]'' had Ned being force fed water until he had a [[Balloon Belly]], which invoked this trope.
* A [[Running Gag]] variety on ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' - Grandpa generally has to interrupt whatever lesson he's teaching Arnold because he "shouldn't have had" * insert food/drink here* .
* In the ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' episode "Transformation", Starfire was analyzing her [[Bizarre Alien Biology|body changes]] while Beast Boy needed the bathroom. He notices Robin watering the flowers, Cyborg getting a drink, and Raven moving boulders out of the way of a waterfall. He says the alphabet to himself ending with the usual letter and as a plant comes into view, the scene ends with water going down a drain implying he went all over the plant.
* ''[[Wonder Pets]]'': "There's a puppy and he has to pee-pee, but he can't... because he's stuck in the house!"
