* Zoidberg in ''{{Futurama}}'' always hacks up stuff when he has grit in his throat. Leela and Amy think its disgusting, until they notice the "stuff" is actually beautiful pearls.
** Similarly, Nibblonian poo is dark matter, a prime starship fuel.
*** Or, one could say dark matter is Nibblonian poo!
**** Thanks, Captain Tautology.
*** ''Not'' the same statement. The former implies that Nibblonian poo is ''a'' source of Dark Matter; the latter that it is the ''only'' source.
**** Thanks, Corporal Clarification.
*** Though because of [[spoiler:the single non-local metaparticle and the Anti-Backwards crystal fusing in ''Bender's Game'']], the stuff's practically worthless now.
**** Thanks, Private...um...Dumb...weiner?

* [[StarslipCrisis Cirbozoids]] have [[BizarreAlienBiology so many weird things]] going on in their bodies that they produce pretty much anything you could ask for as waste products. His exoskeleton secretes ritalin, he has a "smelting cloaca" which deals with unneeded iron, and in the most recent arc, when he stopped eating to combat a sudden, unexpected, and highly problematic growth spurt, his body responded by making it's own sustenance.

** Actually, she does. There's little marble-looking whorls which are her puke, molded glass flames are her attempt to breathe fire like a normal dragon, a spray of needles which is how she actually defends herself, and I forget what shape her poop is, but she does indeed crap yet another particular shape.

** A similar fairy tale specifies that the girl gains this ability because she was kind to an old lady who turned out to be a fairy in disguise, testing peoples' generosity. When her vain and avaricious sister learns how she gained this remarkable capability, she sets out to find the "old lady" herself. And she does, too, but her greed gets the better of her and she gives herself away. Having failed the fairy's test, she is instead enchanted to have toads and slugs tumble from her lips when she speaks. Bet she learned to shut up fast.

* In ForwardTheMage by EricFlint, it turns out that a magic scroll that turns "base materials" into gold only works when a dwarf takes a dump on it, since there is no material more "base" than dwarf shit. When TheEmpire finds out, they start gathering dwarves, chaining them to toilets, and start experimenting on dwarves to find out how to replicate this (unaware that a magical scroll is required). When someone brings up that it's gold, yes, but it's made from dwarf shit, the guy that recommends this plot states that gold may as well be dwarf shit, for how many dwarf slaves that they send to the mines.
** This is brought up in the sequel ThePhilosophicalStrangler, where this project is still going strong, and TheEmpire is devoting it's top scientific and magical experts to the task of discovering how to replicate the process.

* A SufficientlyAdvancedAlien in ''SouthPark'' appears to the children as a taco... that poops ice cream. {{Squick}} factor aside, it would probably be delicious.
** If memory serves, it was the kids' suggestion, after the alien tried countless other forms that they didn't like.

* Because urine fresh from a healthy urinary system is biologically sterile, it's been used for thousands of years as an improvised antiseptic. In some herding cultures, livestock-keepers traditionally use a bit of their own urine to cleanse the wound after gelding a male animal or cutting the umbilical cord of a newborn one.

* MadMax Beyond Thunderdome: Bartertown is fueled by methane, a byproduct of fecal decomposition. This choice of fuels was clearly made just for the arguments that could result.
Mad Max has it explained to him by Aunty Entity and her Mook:
-->Mad Max: What's the energy source...oil, natural gas?
-->Aunty Entity: Pigs.
-->Mad Max: Pigs? You mean pigs like those? Bullshit.
-->Aunty Entity: Pigshit.
-->Mad Max: What?
-->The Collector: Pig shit. The lights, the machines, the vehicles all run on a high powered gas called methane. Methane comes from pig shit.
and
-->Master: Me order! Me Master, me run Bartertown!
-->Mad Max: Sure, that's why you live in shit.
-->Master: NOT SHIT! Energy!
