History Main / WaterGunsAndBalloons

** One episode culminates to an all-water balloon ''Patton'' parody.
** Bart used two water guns filled with ketchup and mustard to threaten Mr. Burns when he went on a date with Marge's mother. Burns tests Bart's willingness to go through with it, which costs him.

* 'Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'', Jumbo, and Yanda held a water balloon fight inside the house. When Yotsuba was supposed to be ''housesitting'' no less. And she even started it by ambushing Yanda with her water pistol.

The contents will not always be water-- it could be jelly, ink, or something more... [[UrineTrouble foul]]. Either that or some jerk will bring out the hose.

* In the ''Franchise/StarWars'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4383163/1/It-s-a-Jedi-Thing-You-Wouldn-t-Understand It's a Jedi Thing, You Wouldn't Understand]]", Han and Luke are both annoyed about having to go to a diplomatic dinner with Leia. And they're acting worse than Leia's toddler twins. She catches them at the hotel in the midst of a water gun fight. When she interrupts them, Luke already emptied his on Han's head, and Han had his pointed at Luke's crotch, going for the 'wet his pants' look.

* Regular feature on ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''. An EscalatingWar usually follows, with the local weapons-of-mass-destruction equivalent being the garden hose, or on one occasion a filled kiddy pool. In the PrintBonus story of ''The Lazy Sunday Book'', Spaceman Spiff's [[RayGun Zorcher]] and Demise-O Bomb are in Calvin's reality a water pistol and water balloon, and only succeed in making their respective targets, Susie and Calvin's mom, wet and angry, though the grounded Calvin is still plotting a new watery prank in the last panel: a BucketBoobyTrap.
* Appears in [[http://garfield.nfshost.com/?s=water+balloon some]] ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' strips.
* At least once in ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'', Jason and Marcus were firing squirt guns filled with fruit punch. When they stopped to refill, they were swarmed by flies.

* Divas matches will sometimes feature these, especially during summer, for {{Fanservice}} like a SexySoakedShirt. However, Wrestling/JillianHall once [[PistolWhipping smacked Mickie James in the head with her water gun]].

* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' High Tech has rules for using a Super Soaker. GURPS being GURPS, it mentions loading it with paint to blind enemies wearing faceplate helmets, or with [[KillItWithWater holy water]].

* The area surrounding both ''Ride/DudleyDoRightsRipsawFalls'' and ''Ride/PopeyeAndBlutosBilgeRatBarges'' at [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal's Islands of Adventure]] has several water cannons stationed that guests can use to shoot water at people on the ride, getting them even more soaked than they already are.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'s'' "Nuka-World" DLC has a water gun weapon called the Thirst Zapper. It normally fires harmless blobs of water until you find the Project Cobalt schematics, at which point you can modify it to fire weaponized Nuka-Cola at your foes, which cause explosions on impact.

* [[Series/DoctorWho Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee]] had a routine at conventions where they would go at each other with ever larger water pistols.

* [[DoctorWho Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee]] had a routine at conventions where they would go at each other with ever larger water pistols.

* Used in multiple sketches of ''Series/TheWhitestKidsUKnow''. The ''Water Balloon'' sketch is about a man selling water ballons in the old west and ''Booger Blasters'' is an advertisement for a variation of squirt guns that uses boogers. Both ''Booger Blasters'' and the ''Nerf Nuke'' sketch also mentions another product from the same in-universe company: the Cum Bomb.

* [[https://youtu.be/I06nha_jLq8 This skit]] from ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy'' takes this trope to extreme measures. Here, Wubbzy and Widget are playing "water-fight" by using water balloons, with each one seen getting bigger and bigger. Hilarity ensues and they later on begin using hoses, and a gigantic water-hose/water ballon combination, which eventually leads to the whole town ending up underwater.

Expect college science geeks and/or medical students with too much time on their hands to build a water balloon slingshot out of lab materials, or some other ridiculous contraption.
