Line 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|pagesuf=Gross-Out Showss}}
== [[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 ButtheadButt-Head|Butthead]]). You better not hurt the kid or Kyochan will grow arms on his head and feet on his mouth to rip off your guts ! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6LjG9IGVYU Episode 1]
* ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt]]'' features monsters themed around poop, vomit, boogers, breast milk, and semen.
* Volume 5 of ''[[Tactics]]''. There's lots of shit. ''Literally''. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/tactics/v05/c013/7.html There's even a scene where ''we see child Kantarou taking a shit, and we see the turd coming out of his ass.''] Was that even necessary?
Line 21:
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Many [[Troll Fic]]s.
* '''Many''' of XanderMartin98's fanfictions, most notably ''[[The Buzz On How Maggie Got (Insert Here)|The Buzz On How Maggie Got Fondled By Flecko And Then Got Inside Her Psychiatrist's Head]]'' and ''Giantess Toriel X Asriel: Motherly Fuckery''.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* The [[Slasher Flick]] genre.
* Too many Arthouse films to count (mostly [[Euroshlock]] films).
* ''[[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]] ==
Line 63:
* 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.
** Like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO96uMTxGes this].

* 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.
* ''[[Cow and Chicken]]''
** Of these, ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'' is the best-fitting example.

* ''[[Schnookums and Meat]]'' (a Disney series, believe it or not)
* ''[[Mega Babies]]''. There's nothing wrong with this cartoon if you don't mind the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKX5V_FvHQ0&feature=related gratuitous amounts of shitting, vomiting, and prolonged nose picking]. The sad part is that it's by the creators behind ''[[Swat Kats]]''.
