From YKTTW:
Corahs Uncle: I'm considering adding Pepper Sneeze to the Animated Trope list. The only examples I can recall at the moment are from both of the Wacky Races spinoff series, one instance in each. It must have occurred in slapstick theatrical cartoons of the 1940s.
Ununnilium: Good one.
Ununnilium: I dunno about Truth in Television. Although it is possible to make someone sneeze using pepper, 99% of examples use way too little - as if pepper were a magic sneezing drug rather than a minor irritant.
Harpie Siren: This is relevent how? Aang sneezed once in the entire series, on the first episode... and flew 50 feet into the air, the first case of Airbending in the series... It has nothing to do with a "Pepper Sneeze", and certanily not a Subversion of it ... A subersion of it would be if somebody didn't sneeze ...
Ununnilium: Yeah. Plus, it has nothing to do with pepper. Delorted!
Caswin: Question: Fred Ott's Sneeze. Yea or nay?
