Line 14:
[[Necessary Weasel|Almost guaranteed]] in pretty much anything with babies in it.
 
~[[I Ate What?~]] is the trope when eating is involved. Characters that are [[Gasshole|Gassholes]] and most instances of [[Fartillery]] are also usually meant for comedic purposes. Compare [[Nose Nuggets]]. Can be played very lightly via [[Calling Your Bathroom Breaks]].
{{examples}}
 
Line 44:
** Also Naruto had a habit for stepping in Dog poop, not mention Akamaru peed on his face once.
** In the [[Spin-Off]] ''[[Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth]]'' The first couple pages has Lee stepping dog feces then kicking an enemy ninja in the face with it.
{{quote| '''Lee''': '''[[Calling Your Attacks|"Konoha Poop Sticker"]]''', I just stepped on this a few minutes ago. }}
* The original ''[[Di Gi Charat]]'' series.
* Makes up a good deal of the humor in ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo]]''. In particular, it's the specialty of [[Fartillery|Gasser]] and anyone talking about Softon (whose head is shaped like... ahem, chocolate soft-serve custard... yeah).
Line 78:
** Of course, when you realize [[Seltzer and Friedberg]] were two of the writers it makes sense.
* Even [[Pixar]] movies are not immune -- there's a scene in ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' where a [[Stuff Blowing Up|whole friggin' bunch of underwater mines blow up]], which causes a massive explosion underwater but only a slight bubble on the surface. Said bubble appears right behind a floating pelican.
{{quote| '''Pelican's Friend:''' Nice. }}
** The outtakes for ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'' and ''[[Toy Story]] 2'' throws in some fart jokes for cheap laughs. The latter brings a whole new meaning to the name "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Stinky Pete]]".
* ''[[The Lion King]]'' somehow managed to do toilet humour tastefully.
Line 86:
* ''[[Star Wars]]: Episode I'' had a creature on Tatooine fart in [[Alien Scrappy]] Jar Jar's face. Makes me feel unclean just thinking about it.
** An earlier scene also has Jar Jar accidently stepping in what appears to be fresh bantha dung.
{{quote| '''Jar Jar''': Ohh! Icky, icky goo!}}
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6dm9rN6oTs epic campfire scene] in ''[[Blazing Saddles]]'' features a crew of cowboys eating beans and delivering a storm of farts and belches. The scene was actually considered edgy in its day.
** It's rather surreally subverted by the early television broadcasts of the film though, as the sound effects for that scene were removed by the censors, leaving a two-minute sequence of cowboys sat round campfires eating and periodically standing up then sitting again, while the fires flare slightly.
Line 100:
* [[Iron Man (film)|"You know, the question I get asked most often is, how do I go to the bathroom while wearing my suit? ......just like that."]]
* Very common in films of [[The View Askewniverse]]. It was made part of a half-joking musing by Holden in Chasing Amy.
{{quote| '''Holden:''' My grandmother once said, "Holden, the real money is in dick and fart jokes." She was a churchgoer her whole life.}}
* [[Another Gay Movie]]. The sequel takes things even further. Of course these movies are the gay variation of [[American Pie]].
* MTV's first film Joe's apartment has a TON of This!
Line 107:
* The trailer for ''[[The Change Up]]'' is filled with it, most notably a baby shitting on [[Jason Bateman]]'s face (with an added pause of it happening).
* In ''[[George of the Jungle (film)|George of the Jungle]]'', the villain does an utterly gratuitous faceplant in a heap of elephant dung. The movie then epically redeems itself:
{{quote| '''Native guide 1''': [[Don't Explain the Joke|Bad guy falls in poop!]] ''Classic'' element of [[Slapstick|physical comedy]]! Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and [[Epic Fail|laugh]]! Ready?<br />
'''Other guides''': Ready!<br />
'''All''': AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! }}
Line 122:
* ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'': pretty much any scene involving Mulch Diggums.
* Turns up sometimes in ''[[Welkin Weasels]]'', most notably in the bit where Scirf escapes the tower by climbing down the garderobe (toilet which drains into the lake).
{{quote| '''Sylver:''' "But why didn't you call out to us?"<br />
'''Scirf:''' "Couldn't. Had my mouth full."<br />
Sylver chose not to delve any further into this line of enquiry. }}
* Dav Pilkey's ''[[Captain Underpants]]'' books have large amounts of it, which is most often evident from their titles alone, although they also balance it with a healthy dose of social satire.
Line 145:
* Not even ''[[Firefly]]'' avoids it, with Simon stepping in bull crap.
* ''[[Blackadder]] Goes Forth'' has a joke ''[[Lampshade Hanging|about]]'' this trope:
{{quote| '''The Red Baron:''' "How lucky you English are to find the toilet so amusing! For us, it is a mundane and functional item. For you, the basis of an entire culture!"}}
* [[NCIS|Abby Sciutto's]] stuffed hippopotamus, which farts when squeezed.
* ''[[Bottom]]''
Line 153:
* The episode "Drew Blows His Promotion" of [[The Drew Carey Show]] actually uses this trope very cleverly. Drew's friend Kate, as a birthday prank, makes a copy of a safety video which Drew filmed and adds fart noises to it, making him appear as a [[Gasshole]]. Unfortunately, the tapes get switched, and Kate shows a boring office safety video to Drew's friends while Drew ends up [[Crowning Moment of Funny|presenting the altered copy to the Board of Directors]]...
* The technology that allows Raxacoricofallapatorians to pass as humans on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' requires periodic emission of malodorous gas to function properly. This is disguised in exactly the manner one would expect.
{{quote| '''The Doctor:''' Excuse me, but would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?}}
* In ''[[Harry Enfield and Chums]]'', Wayne is watching a [[Show Within a Show]] that consists entirely of someone reciting "Willy. Bottom. Dirty pants. Women's dirty pants." Wayne laughs uproariously at each one.
* ''[[Farscape]]'' takes toilet humour and runs with it, especially with regard to Rigel's digestive system which has at various points produced exploding poop, toxic farts, and incendiary urine. There's a reason for the show's [[Fan Nickname]] of "Fartscape".
Line 163:
** At one point, the toilet ''itself'' spoke up and made a joke.
* On ''[[30 Rock]]'', the sketches on [[Show Within a Show|TGS]] seem to involve farts quite a bit.
{{quote| Carol: There’s this one Fart Doctor sketch where Fart Doctor’s trying to figure out who farted in the spelling bee.<br />
Liz: He who spelt it, dealt it. I wrote that! I wrote all the Fart Doctors! }}
* Al's love for his toilet (the mighty Ferguson!) was one of the staple gags of ''[[Married... with Children]]''.
Line 170:
* ''[[Round the Twist]]'' is a kids show with copious amounts of this, including urinating contests and all sorts of other gross bodily-function based comedy.
* Even [[Bones]] got in on it briefly.
{{quote| Brennan: "He who smelt it, dealt it."<br />
Booth: How do you even know that phrase? }}
* [[Two and A Half Men]] uses this rather often in Season 9, most notably the episode "Not In My Mouth" which has nonstop barrage of vomiting gags.
Line 244:
** Messy Sims in Sims 2 will burp and fart during/after meals. Also, the Cow mascot in University will burp in Sims faces, and some will like it and burp back!
* Even the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series isn't immune to this. In case 2-3, Moe the Clown tells a fart joke on the witness stand if you press one of his statements. And ''Trials and Tribulations'' has even more examples, from Phoenix's obsession with cleaning the toilet to his infamous line in case 3-1:
{{quote| '''Phoenix:''' Toilet?! My perfect little Dollie doesn't poop!}}
* In Fable (at least in the second game), you can interact with NPCs using various expressions, including burping and farting. Done right, both seem quite popular amongst Albion's inhabitants, save for the most serious citizens. But fail these and you'll have to face the rather unpleasant and disgusting consequences.
** In Fable 3, this is turned [[Up to Eleven]]. Not only can you only do both in NPCs' faces, the smell of your character's farts are so potent they make the NPC pass out during the animation.
* ''Death Maze 2000'' was a game for the Radio Shack TRS 80 in which one used the keyboard to navigate a block graphics maze. To save time and keystrokes getting to the end of a long straight hallway, you could type "fart", which would blow you down the hall until you slammed into the wall at the end.
* Lampshaded in ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: Strong Badia The Free'' by clicking on the Toilet.
{{quote| '''Strong Bad:''' Ah, toilet humor.<br />
'''Strong Bad:''' Oh, potty humor.<br />
'''Strong Bad:''' Uh, commode humor. }}
* Some moves in the [[Monster Rancher]] games were more humorous in nature. One group of those moves is Hare's Gas attacks (Gas, Foul Gas, and Stinking Gas), which do [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|just what you'd think.]]
* In ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', one of the Sniper unlocks is Jarate, a jar of pee he can use to throw at enemies. It also extinguishes teammates that are on fire from an enemy Pyro.
** A few days before the short "Meet the Medic" was released, the TF2 website was updated to have Medic's pigeons perched on the logo banner, and pigeon poop splattered all over it.
* German mini game ''Pipiprinz''. Based on a [[Real Life]] event when [[wikipedia:Ernst August, Prince of Hanover chr(28)born 1954chr(291954)|Ernst August von Hannover]] would get drunk at the EXPO 2000, urinate in public, was photographed by a paparazzi and beat him up with his umbrella. What the game is about? Drink beer, urinate when "full", and beat up photographers.
* Pretty much the entire point of the indie Xbox 360 arcade game, ''Try Not to Fart'', in which the goal is to hold it all in near your date.
* From ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Dissidia Duodecim]]'', after Kefka eavesdrops on Cloud and Kuja's heart to heart talk:
{{quote| '''Kefka Palazzo:''' What's this? The brooder and the narcissist having a heart-to-heart? Oh this is rich--so rich it gives me gas! Gives me gas, I say! ho ho! (farting sound) And I give it back.}}
* Aside from [[Meaningful Echo|being]] [[Chekhov's Gag|an]] [[Chekhov's Gun|obvious]] [[Chekhov's Gunman]], [[Ratchet and Clank|the Plumber's]] sole purpose in life seems to be providing toilet humour... [[Literal Minded|occasionally, he takes this to]] [[Serial Escalation|new extremes.]]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzeMwGlYyGk Tools of Destruction demonstrates.]
Line 322:
* ''[[Family Guy]]'' indulges in it in every episode. This includes ''domestic abuse''.
** The episode "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High" gives us the following [[Opening Narration]] as a parody of [[Law and Order]]:
{{quote| "In the television comedy world, the people are entertained by two separate yet equally important types of shows: traditional sitcoms that get laughs at of everyday situations like trying to fix your own plumbing or inviting two dates at the same dance, and animated shows that make jokes about farting. This is the latter."}}
* ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' had plenty of toilet humor like every now and then Stimpy would fart. One episode dealt with Stimpy searching for his missing fart cloud, and in an ''Adult Party Cartoon'' one gag dealt with the fire chief's constipation and finally taking a huge dump and wiping himself with Stimpy's shirt.
* [[Invader Zim]]
Line 328:
** [[Memetic Mutation|I gotta act natural!]]
* [[The Angry Beavers]]
* In ''~[[Rocko's Modern Life~]]'' characters like Heffer and Spunky would often fart.
* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' has actually been held over from airing on [[Disney XD]] in America because of this trope. A [[Bowdlerized]] version of the episode is being prepared.
* On ''[[Total Drama Island]]'', Owen is pretty much entirely fart jokes. The fact that he appears so frequently quickly made him a [[Creator's Pet]].
Line 341:
* In ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', there was the occasional fart/burp joke with Gonard. Also at the beginning of the episode, "Live LilyMu," Mitsuki accidentally eats ice cream with some prank farting powder on it and throughout the rest of the episode, [[Running Gag|she farts several times]] (though she tries to hold them in), much to the annoyance of the audience and the other cast members.
* ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' uses it quite often. Seeing how unserious this show is about itself, it indulges a [[Take That Me]] in the episode "Little Glop of Horrors".
{{quote| '''Fanboy''': Hey Kyle! It's pizza day! Come play pizza monkeys with us! <br />
'''Kyle''': You two are... pizza monkeys? What do you do, throw your poopparoni?<br />
''Fanboy and Chum Chum burst out with laughter''<br />
'''Kyle''' (sighing): I'm witty day after day - and this is what they laugh at. }}
* [[MAD]]: Episode 1, Part 1: "AVATURD".
Line 368:
** Not to mention one episode had the characters playing dung wars!
* On ''[[Adventure Time]]'', one could probably make a good [[Drinking Game]] from every reference to butts, farts, and the like. Also:
{{quote| '''Lumpy Space Princess:''' '''''AAAAAGH!! I'M DYING!!''''' ''(flushes toilet)''}}
* In ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' episode "The Voice in the Night" where at one point Tenzin has to chase after his son Meelo, who has apparently decided that ''something'' at the fancy party they're at is a toilet.
* ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'' veers into toilet humor frequently, like a shopping cart with a bad wheel in the toilet humor aisle - perhaps to be expected with three school-age kids in the family.
