* In ''{{Fallout}} 2'', there is a talking plant named Seymour in the Residential area of Broken Hills. He's bored of the garden he's planted in (the other garden plants aren't as talkative). He asks TheChosenOne to find a suitable place to be moved. Upon agreeing to do so, Seymour spits this little cheer:
-->''"I'm so excited I could release a spore cloud all over myself! Let's go!"''
** And you thought he meant poo? I had a [[FreudWasRight whole other take]] on reading that.
*** Biologically speaking, the trooper above [[{{Squick}} is correct]]

* ''FindingNemo'': at the end the octopus "inks" at the sight of Bruce the shark in the reef. Pearl also "inks" earlier in the film.
** This is actually the default reaction for ink-producing mollusks when faced with a dangerous or stressful situation - they do this to use the ink as cover/an irritant and swim away.
*** It was definitely played as this trope, almost as a kind of visual pun.

* Rover springs an oil leak in the latest trailer for ''{{Planet 51}}''.

* As pictured in ''{{Futurama}}'' this happens whenever Bender is frightened and he literally shits bricks. Something of a RunningGag.

* ''SpongebobSquarepants'': "Chocolate With Nuts" After being cornered by "The Chocolate Maniac," who reveals that he wants to buy all their chocolate. A pile of chocolate bars fall out of Patrick's pants and is crowned by a tiny chocolate kiss.
* In one episode of ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'', a scared Platypus-bear spontaneously lays an egg. [[{{Squick}} Then a hungry Sokka picks it up and sniffs it.]]

* ''SchlockMercenary'':

* At the beginning of one episode of ''BigGuyAndRustyTheBoyRobot'', a trigger-happy hick in a mech was about to vandalize the Lincoln Memorial, until Big Guy showed him his "Mag Popper." The pilot then surrendered and ejected out of his mech's rear end.

* In ''{{Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worlds End}}'', Pintel and Ragetti each grab a cannonball, planning to drop them on the bodies floating in the water while escaping Davey Jones' Locker. As they're about to, they see Tia Dalma standing there. The camera cuts to their lower bodies, as they drop the cannonballs in a way that resembles this trope.
