Line 72:
* There's quite a bit in ''[[Scary Movie]]'', possibly to the point of overuse.
** Of course, when you realize [[Seltzer and Friedberg]] were two of the writers it makes sense.
* Even [[Pixar]] movies are not immune — as this sort of joke tends to amuse young audiences:
*
{{quote|'''Pelican's Friend:''' Nice. }}
** The outtakes for ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'' and ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|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]]".
** ''[[Cars]]'' has a brand of fuel "Butte Gas" sold in the forecourt of the Wheel Well Motel, and a [[Spit-Take]] when Lightning tells Mater that Doc won the [[Bland-Name Product|Piston Cup]]:
{{quote|'''Mater:''' He did WHAT in his cup?}}
* ''[[The Lion King]]'' somehow managed to do toilet humour tastefully.
** ''The Lion King 1 1/2'' has the hot tub scene...in which the bubbles stop as soon as Pumba leaves the hot tub.
* ''[[Drop Dead Fred]]'' includes a scene where he tracks dog poop on the carpet with his shoes.
* The
* ''[[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
{{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.
Line 107 ⟶ 110:
* In a very unlikely place to find this trope, ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' has a scene where Floyd is reading a long, detailed list of instructions on how to use the Zero Gravity Toilet.
* ''[[Shark Tale]]'', one of many lesser Dreamworks movies that had gone for [[Gross-Out Show|gross-out humor]]. One of the jellyfish had made a wee-wee joke and to what they had called [[This Loser Is You|Oscar]].
* ''[[Igor]]'' had made this kind of
* ''[[Delgo]]'', being somewhat schizophrenic in its attempts to decide exactly which demographic it was trying to appeal to, naturally stooped to a bit of this. In particular is a scene in which an animal that, though it previously averted [[All Animals Are Dogs]], proceeded to lift its leg in dog-like fashion to pee on a man, which was apparently included for no other reason than to appeal to small children and the hard of thinking.
* ''[[Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle]]'': Would you like to play battleshits?
* Disney's ''[[The Wild]]'' had lots of poop jokes, when they weren't focusing on slapstick humor.
* ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to the Future]]'' was prone to awkward collisions between the villain and a manure pile as a [[Running Gag]] through all three parts of the trilogy.
** And, after I fell off my toilet, I drew this: [[Applied Phlebotinum|The Flux Capacitor]]!
* A very mild form of this trope: At one point in ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'', Ray the firefly yells, "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Don't make me light my butt]]!" at the [[Living Shadow|shadow]] [[Familiar|demons]]. [[Dude, Not Funny|Not funny]].
* In ''[[The Party]]'', Bakshi ([[Peter Sellers]]) has to take a leak, but can't find an unoccupied bathroom. Getting increasingly desperate, he starts to cross a room when the girl he's sweet on starts singing for a crowd - he stops out of politeness and writhes in smiling agony for the duration. After he finally relieves himself in the master bathroom the toilet won't stop running, and in his attempt to fix it, he breaks the tank lid on the floor, drops a watercolor painting into the tank, and floods the room.
Line 127 ⟶ 131:
* In ''[[Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator]]'', in response to the grandparents taking too much Wonka-Vite, the Oompa-Loompas perform a song telling the sad tale of a little girl who foolishly helped herself to the tastiest-looking stuff in her grandma's medicine cabinet — which turned out to be chocolate-flavored laxatives... It takes up [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|several pages]].
* Another [[Roald Dahl]] example is in ''[[The BFG]]'', where the titular Big Friendly Giant explains how he hates human soda, which has rising bubbles, thus causing the drinker to burp. Burping is phenomenally rude to giants, so instead they drink frobscottle, which has bubbles that sink, thus causing the drinker to... well... [[Unusual Euphemism|whizzpopper]]!
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131205055013/http://www.kipling.org.uk/poems_municipal.htm Municipal]'' by [[Rudyard Kipling]] is a dramatic (and almost epic) proof that [[Tropes Are Not Bad|this sort of humour is not always cheap]].
* ''[[Uncle John's Bathroom Reader]]'' zig-zags this. One page will have a fart joke, the next will have a scientific article on ''why'' we pass gas, and the third will have an article about something crazy like a gold-plated toilet.
* In [[Derek Robinson]]'s novel of the Battle of Britain, we first learn ''why'' Air Commodore Bletchley is nick-named "Baggy". Then his death is described in excruciating detail - he becomes trapped in a portable chemical toilet when the air-raid siren goes. Deciding to cross his fingers and sit it out - well, squat it out - he chooses wrongly and the whole lavatory is seen bowling across the airstrip, propelled by a hail of cannon and machine-gun fire from a strafing German plane.
Line 139 ⟶ 143:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Not even ''[[Firefly (TV series)|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!"}}
Line 186 ⟶ 190:
* Rob Balder's [[Filk Song]] "[http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1090 Ars Musica - It Had to Be You]" <ref>Quick note - you'll have to check a box that says you want to hear it.</ref> is basically a [[Hurricane of Euphemisms|Hurricane of Fart Jokes]]. Slightly [[squick]]y, in the artist's words.
* [[Spinal Tap]] likes a bit of the fart humor - their first live album was ''Silent But Deadly'', while their 1992 reunion album was ''Break Like The Wind''. The connotations of certain Tap song titles such as "Nice 'n' Stinky" probably aren't worth considering.
* [[Bob Rivers]] piles and shovels loads of this crap into song parodies. "The Old Man Down The Road" (John Fogerty) becomes "The Old Man's on the Commode". Bob Seger's "Night Moves" becomes "Bowel Moves". A parody of [[Britney Spears]] exclaims "[[gasshole|Oops]], I [[fartillery|farted]] again!" And yes, [[mondegreen|there's a bathroom on the right]].
