22With all the [[EldritchAbomination monsters]], [[OmnicidalManiac world destroying psychopaths]], and [[MonsterClown clowns]] out there, the world can be a pretty frightening place. Encounters with these things can weaken not only the resolve of the strongest, but their bladders and sphincters as well.
23
24This is when somebody's response to a scare is to piss or crap their pants, though this may not always be shown. The reasons for using this trope vary, including robbing a particular character of their dignity, as a joke on the extent of their cowardice, or occasionally in an attempt to show just how frightening something is. Most often this trope is used for comedic purposes, but there are a few serious examples as well. Unfortunately, much like the GroinAttack, this trope is played for laughs so often and by itself is so absurd that it's nearly impossible to take seriously when played for drama. The character need not relieve themselves in their pants, but it happens in most of these examples.
25
26TruthInTelevision as sudden urination or defecation is one of the possible reactions to extreme stress. Scientists are unsure if it is to lose weight before running or to distract the attacker with the smell of the puddle or both, but it can be found in a variety of species. While it happens especially to children and animals (who may lack social awareness of "public release" to begin with), it also frequently happens to adults when confronted with terrifying incidents such as kidnapping, hostage situations, torture or similar.
27
28The title comes from the old joke about the captain who, before any battle, asks their porter to BringMyRedJacket, so their crew won't see them bleed and therefore lose morale. Eventually, upon happening upon a battle that they have no chance of winning, their porter asks if they should get their red jacket. "Yes...", the captain says, and then, after a moment's hesitation, they add, "...and bring my brown pants as well", [[DontExplainTheJoke the implication here being that they have, or are about to have an unfortunate case of bowel control loss.]]
29
30Spontaneously defecating or urinating is likely a vestige of the primal "fight or flight" instinct, where some animals do this in the face of danger. This is why [[CowardlyYellow the color yellow is associated with cowardice in many cultures]], as it insinuates that the person the insult is directed toward would piss themselves if confronted with a situation that required a level of courage; by extension a "yellow-bellied coward" being someone who would piss themselves and crawl through their own waste trying to escape. It is also the origin of the expression "scared shitless", due to sufficiently frightening things being enough to make people void themselves in sheer terror.

32For a comedic metaphorical substitute, see BowelBreakingBricks. Compare PottyEmergency, when a character has to go and is desperate to hold on, and PottyFailure, for when they fail. For something that usually comes after, see NoDeadBodyPoops.

34This trope is OlderThanFeudalism.

43* In a commercial for the National Geographic Wild channel's reality show Snake City (about a husband and wife team who professionally catch and relocate dangerous snakes that get into peoples' homes), the husband at one point states that "if something goes wrong, I am going to need a change of underpants."

49* It happens occasionally in the manga ''Manga/{{Arachnid}}'' and its sister series ''Caterpillar'' when characters believe they're about to die.
50* ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita'': [[spoiler: Alita's team has finally (''finally!'') won the TournamentArc but BigBad Mbadi wants to incinerate them with his KillSat. What Mbadi doesn't know is that the rebellion-suppressing software implanted in his people has been hacked, so he's shocked that his prime minister doesn't want to do it. The man wets his pants in front of his superior but sticks with his feelings and is rewarded with a prompt [[NeckSnap neck-snapping]]. Fortunately the hacker also hacked the cameras..]].
51* In ''Anime/BattleGirlsTimeParadox'', everyone is trapped by ghost samurai and not allowed to leave until they tell the ghosts 100 scary stories. When they are done, they find Mitsuhide, who had been freaking out the whole time, had passed out and wet herself. She embarrassingly carries her wet pants on a large stick when they leave.
52* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'':
53** Jill from the Lost Children arc understandably pisses herself when she sees [[WhenTreesAttack a tree turn into a monster and attack]].
54** Thomas from later in the same arc, the poor little boy that Guts uses as a lure for Rosine's Apostle-spawn "elves" on the end of his sword, wets himself in terror.
55** When Nina is taken to Mozgus's torture chamber, by far the most nightmarish place in the entire Tower of Conviction, her entire body goes limp in sheer terror when she sees the horrors the others are being subjected to, and her bladder soon follows.
56* ''Manga/BlackButler'': Ciel wets himself after seeing the murder scene of Mary Jane Kelly in the manga. In the anime, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything it instead cuts to a draining gutter downspout.]]
57* ''Anime/BladeAndSoul'' In episode 1 Alka is [[OutdoorBathPeeping bathing in a pond]] (the viewer only sees her ShouldersUpNudity or ToplessnessFromTheBack with {{Sideboob}}) when she notices [[ThePeepingTom a man peeping at her]]. So she [[CantBatheWithoutAWeapon reaches for her weapon underwater]] and leaps out of the water to [[FullFrontalAssault attack him while fully nude]]. She doesn't kill him since his partner comes out and convinces her otherwise but she does end up scaring the peeper so much he pisses himself in fear.
58* ''Manga/BlueExorcist'': Renzou Shima has a severe case of entomophobia (fear of bugs). Upon being faced with a literal moat full of caterpillars, well...
59-->'''Shima:''' That's it! No more! Heheheheh... I've pissed my pants.
60* ''Anime/BlueGender'': Yuji Kaido's reaction to his first sight of the Blue is to wet himself.
61* In Chapter 14 of ''Manga/CannonGodExaxxion'', a female Riofaldian guard is so deeply frightened by Reiko's powers that she makes an embarrassingly ''huge'' yellow puddle on the floor.
62* In Chapter 70 of ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'', [[EldritchAbomination Riful]] wraps Audrey in [[CombatTentacles her tentacles]] and announces that she will start torturing her. Audrey wets herself in fear all over Riful.
63-->'''Riful:''' ''(to Audrey)'' No... ew! Don't stain my body, please!
64* In the ''VideoGame/CorpseParty Tortured Souls'' OVA, this understandably happens to Yuka when she's cornered by [[spoiler:Kizami in full on psycho mode]].

66** In Episode 3, Ange wets her flight suit while facing a dragon that is about to kill her.
67** Also, in Episode 23, Sylvia wets herself after Ange's ToughLove treatment.
68* ''Manga/DesertPunk'':
69** In one episode, Punk is being fired upon by some bandits, and first comments that he crapped himself, and shortly afterward makes a comment about not needing a colonic.
70** When being chased down by [[TankGoodness Fire Dragon Kong]], Punk claims the crew weren't trying to kill them (they weren't, as they didn't want to damage a MacGuffin) and one of the Machine Gun brothers tells him that his pants disagree.
71* Happens a few times in early episodes of ''Manga/DragonBall'': Bulma ends the first episode peeing herself when Goku's saves her from falling to her death by pinning her shirt to a cliff, and Oolong pees himself when he first runs into Ox King. Bulma wets her panties in the first movie, ''[[Anime/DragonBallCurseOfTheBloodRubies The Legend of Shenlong/Curse of the Blood Rubies]]'' after she and Goku are shot out of a plane. Goku pins her shirt to a cliff and she pees herself in a manner almost idenitcal to how the first episode of the series ended.
72* ''Anime/DragonBallGTAHerosLegacy'': Goku Jr. wets himself when Mamba gives him a CloseCallHaircut with a knife.
73* The second chapter of Creator/AkiraToriyama's ''Dragon Boy'', the prototype for ''Manga/DragonBall'', features a scene with the heroes coming face to face with a giant robot. As Tanton, the dragon boy, fights the robot, the Princess constantly distracts him because she peed her pants and worries about her reputation and need for a bath.
74* Nozomi from the manga version of ''Manga/ElfenLied'' was abused by [[WellIntentionedExtremist her father]] when she was a child (he wanted her to inherit the family business, she wanted to be a singer like her mom), which led to her getting a psychological trauma that makes her wet herself whenever she becomes too nervous. Being [[ShrinkingViolet the kind of person that she is]], this happened so often that she had to wear diapers.
75* It happens to a kid in ''Anime/EurekaSeven''. The eyes of the titular character, which are the same eyes as the monsters that murdered his entire city, frightens a mute child so deeply that he pees his pants and begins crying.
76* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': In the first chapter, after seeing Kenshiro fighting for the first time -- and ''making his adversaries' bodies explode'' courtesy of the Hokuto Shinken -- Bat pisses himself. The 1984 anime removes this aspect, simply depicting him collapsing in fright.
77* In the pilot of ''Anime/GhostInTheShellSAC2045'', a gun-toting Togusa kicks down the door of a HackerCave to find the hacker dressed in his skivvies with a noticeable stain in his underpants. He's suitably grossed out.
78* In ''Anime/GingaNagareboshiGin'', Hyena lets out a nice, steaming stream of urine when confronted by three [[ItMakesSenseInContext ninja dogs.]]
79* The poor Priestess in ''Literature/GoblinSlayer'' wets herself in the first chapter when she sees her fellow adventurers getting [[CruelAndUnusualDeath torn to pieces]] or raped by goblins and they're looking to do the same thing to her. Fortunately, this is about the time when Goblin Slayer shows up to clean house.
80** And when she's [[spoiler:alone with the Goblin Champion]] during the terrifying Chapter 22, poor Priestess is absolutely petrified, right down to wetting herself again.
81** During the following chapter, in which [[spoiler:Goblin Slayer proceeds to turn things around by strangling the Goblin Champion with the hair of one of the goblins' victims and ripping his eye right out, followed by menacingly heading toward the goblins wondering which of them will be next]], one of the goblins is so utterly terrified of Goblin Slayer that he pisses himself in sheer terror, followed by [[spoiler:the entire enemy horde turning tail and fleeing]].
82* In the dub of ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'', the title character finds out that a guy on a subway that he hit for [[TheChikan harassing some woman]] is the guy who will be interviewing him for a job. He says to himself that he might have just shit himself.
83* ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'': When Eikichi sneaks into Nao Kadena's apartment, he watches her point a gun at two guys who seem to be yakuza and order them to leave. As soon as they're gone, she turns the gun on him and pulls the trigger, saying he knows too much. [[spoiler:It's revealed to be OnlyALighter]], but he still shits himself in fright.
84* ''Manga/HowClumsyYouAreMissUeno'': During the skit where Ueno plans on putting her and Tanaka in a scary situation at school during the night, Yamashita turns out to be really bad with scary stuff when she pees herself before it even really begins.
85* ''Manga/HozukiSanChiNoAneki'': Gorou, most of the time when he sees something that deals with Horror.
86* ''Manga/IkkiTousen'':
87** In ''Dragon Destiny'', Sousou is fighting an EmotionlessGirl assassin named Koushaji. She spits a needle [[EyeScream in his best friend Kakouton's eye]]; this [[UnstoppableRage sends Sousou into absolute rage]], and he releases his dragon to fight her at full strength. After fighting for awhile, Koushaji produces a liquid from between her legs (even though some people claim she actually had an orgasm from fighting him, since there ''is'' another female fighter in the same series who did have quite the OrgasmicCombat)... [[spoiler: and he follows this with crushing her head with his bare hands and then into a wall.]]
88** In the manga, all the major beatdowns end with at least one or both of the girls having wet herself/themselves, [[VomitIndiscretionShot throw up]] and bleed everywhere, subverting BeautyIsNeverTarnished ''hard''.
89* ''Manga/InoHeadGargoyle'': When Inokuma has a gun to Saejima's head, Okita saves him. He says he probably would have pissed himself if the gun had been pointed at him, only to look down and see Saejima did just that.
90* Mahiru wets herself in terror during a flashback in ''Manga/KamisamaDolls''. When you're a 7-year-old girl staring down a demonic doll with MindRape as its main weapon...
91* ''Manga/KillingBites'':
92** Ui Inaba wets herself when she sees Kido/Brute Pangolin punching ''his own teammate'' in half.
93** Yui Okawa pisses herself in terror when [[RaptorAttack Koyomi Uzaki]] tries to eat her alive.
94* ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'': The title character and [[Anime/UltimateMuscle Kinniku Mantaro]] have a tendency to do this. Most notably in Kinnikuman's case is when soiling himself in fright saves his life when his opponent, Ramenman, is so disgusted by the act that he releases Kinnikuman from his deadly Camel Clutch hold (which he had used in a previous fight to ''rip his opponent in half'') to let him change his pants.
95* The titular character from ''Lotte No Omocha!'' does this due to the scares from a haunted house.
96* Happens a number of times in ''Manga/MadBull34'':
97** A female hostage wets herself when a thug aims his gun at her.
98** Also in the manga, Lily loses control of her bladder [[spoiler:after Black Tattoo informs her that he's going to kill her with an acidic bomb]].
99* In the second chapter of ''Manga/MagicalGirlApocalypse'', we see after Tsukune leaves her hiding place that she's wet herself in fright of the invasion of monstrous magical girls and the ZombieApocalypse they bring with them. It's not brought up after, but she doesn't actually get a chance to change until the seventh chapter.
100* In ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan'', after Punie defeats her EnfantTerrible CreepyTwins sisters she prepares to punish the little usurpers and, knowing their sister, the young girls lose control of their bladders. However, she never does anything worse to them then spanking or some TickleTorture.
101* In ''Manga/MarisTheChojo'', Maris is fighting a criminal gang in the opening scene. The gang's leader comes out in his armored suit, laughing nervously. That wasn't hydraulic fluid running down his leg. Maris is disgusted enough to throw him out into space.
102* A 10-year-old Satoshi Batista did this in ''Anime/MichikoAndHatchin'' when a gang boss he'd tried to kill threatened to kill him if Satoshi didn't make him laugh before he finished his cigarette.

107* ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'': In "It's a Birthday Party, Dajo", Jyushimatsu wets himself after witnessing two of the servants at Hatabou's house get shot in the head for a case of MistakenIdentity. Keep in mind, he already ''had'' to go, and the whole thing started because they were going to ''lead'' him to the restroom. They just made it easier for him.
108* While ''Manga/OnePiece'' never explicitly uses this trope, [[CowardlyLion Usopp]], the character most likely to do this among the main cast, actually ''includes'' a pair of brown pants in his standard outfit. [[spoiler: After the TimeSkip, his regular garb now has tan pants instead, possibly to symbolize how he's largely grown out of it.]]
109* ''Anime/OruchubanEbichu'': Ebichu pees herself at the end of Episode 5 when the delivery man returns and he finds out that she devoured somebody else's order of Camembert cheese.
110-->"Ebichu was severely punished afterwards."
111* ''Anime/QueensBlade'':
112** In the first episode, when the heroine Leina is attacked by PsychopathicManchild Melona at her castle she wets herself. The BlobMonster laughs and ridicules her for doing this.
113** In the first ''Queen's Blade Grimoire'' OVA, Zara wets herself when she gets cornered by TheBigBadWolf a second time. The wolf comments that it proves that she's afraid of him, and fear makes his prey taste better.
114* ''Anime/ReadOrDie'': Presidents of the United States have a very low bladder capacity in this universe. They exist solely to wet themselves at whatever BigBad is currently Badding it up.

117* In episode 184 of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', the girls are freaked out after hearing a noise in the hallway in Usagi's house and Mako scares them by telling them about the horrible gory monster that was there. Seiya then tells them that he'll attack it on the count of three, but they all jump and trip on each other... only to find out that the figure was just Chibi-Chibi.
118-->'''Chibi-Chibi:''' Chibi?\
119'''Ami:''' Don't scare us like that, Chibi-Chibi!\
120'''Usagi:''' Now I need to clean up again!

123* Happens to Satomi in ''Manga/ShadowStar'', and with good reason - her Shadow Dragon, which she has a PsychicLink with, has just been cut down by a rotating blade. And not only she pees, but she also [[VomitIndiscretionShot vomits]] and passes out.
124* In episode ten of ''Manga/SquidGirl'', Squid Girl sneaks into Takeru's room at night to leave a good luck charm hanging over his bed. Unfortunately, due to her... [[NightmareFuel unusual art skills]], when he wakes up and spots it, this scares him enough to wet his pants.

127* ''Manga/TerraforMARS'': In Episode 3, Eva Frost wets herself upon being approached by a Terraformar. It is ''not'' PlayedForLaughs... [[MoodWhiplash well]], [[BrickJoke at least until she's later informed that she has to clean the mess up]].
128* In episode 7 of ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}'' one member of Organ pisses his pants when some of his fellow members are shot and killed by an Alliance member, who then shoots him.
129* More in the novels than in the anime but Rimuru's [=Intimidate/Menace=] skill caused a very [[LiteralMetaphor literal]] MassOhCrap when it was used in an attempt to make some would-be troublemakers back-off while waiting to be admitted to Dwargon in ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime''.
130* In ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'', when RetiredBadass Yoshimura finally steps onto the battlefield, several CCG Investigators facing him begin pissing themselves in terror. During the same battle, CowardlyLion Takizawa Seidou does the same when confronted with [[spoiler: CoDragons Tatara and Noro]]. Rather than coming across as pathetic, it shows the depths of his resolve when he decides to fight ''anyway''.
131* ''Anime/{{Tsugumomo}}'': Kyouka the flute Tsukumogami pisses herself when Kazuya stops just short of killing her in his [[SuperMode Ascension State]].
132* In Episode 2 of ''Visionary'', this happens to Shiori when she first falls out of the skydiving plane.

134** Kuroda takes a break from blowing up stuff (and students) to try to [[spoiler:rape a girl named Noriko with his gun]]. When Kuroda announces these intentions, the target is so terrified (''and with damn good reason'') that she wets herself and [[TearsOfFear cries to the point where her face is a mess]]. Fortunately, Inugami interrupts him before he can do so.

142[[/folder]]
143
144[[folder:Comedy]]
145* Creator/DaveAllen may have been the first to tell the trope namer joke in the 1970s.
146* Creator/GeorgeCarlin had this to say about when airlines tell you to put on the oxygen mask and "breathe normally".
147-->"Well, I have no problem with that. I always breathe normally when I'm in a ''six hundred mile-an-hour uncontrolled vertical dive''. I also ''shit'' normally. '''Right in my pants!'''"
148* The late Creator/GrahamChapman discussed this trope during a lecture series later recorded as ''Looks Like a Brown Trouser Job'', regarding adventures with the Dangerous Sports Club.
149* Creator/BillCosby said it best when describing the course of events in an auto accident:
150-->''And mothers are always more interested in the condition of your underwear than your body if you're ever in an accident. And they tell you that. "I hope for my sake that if you're ever in an accident, you have on clean underwear!" Well, I thought that was what [[PottyFailure an accident]] ''was!'' Look, you're driving a truck. Here comes another truck, gonna hit you. Now, whether you hit the truck or not, you're going to have soiled underwear! Because '''[[OhCrap first you say it]], [[LiteralMetaphor then you do it!]]'''''
151* Creator/BillEngvall told the [[TropeNamers trope-naming]] joke during an exchange of them in the tail end of one of the ''Series/BlueCollarComedy'' movies. Engvall having the captain deliver the punchline with the same authoritative tone as "BringMyRedJacket!" is what really sells it.
152* Creator/HughLaurie has joked that while he was filming a movie in which there was a lion, the lion's handler told him that lions are fastidious and have very sensitive noses, and if he was ever faced with an angry lion, he should reach around behind himself, grab a handful of feces, and throw it at the lion's face so that the smell would drive the lion away. He asked what to do if there was no feces there, and was told "if you're facing an angry lion, don't worry, it'll be there."

159* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Batman of all people got hit with this when Creator/KevinSmith did his run on the character by having Batman himself hint that he actually wet his own pants during the scene in Creator/FrankMiller's ''ComicBook/BatmanYearOne'' where he fire bombed the Gotham mafia, and having Batman admit this to a guy who's like a low rent blue collar knock off of himself. More specifically, Batman says he had a "bladder spasm" because he set off too many explosives to get the desired effect, at which point the other guy exclaims "No! You're saying you '''WET YOUR PANTS'''?!" Needless to say, many a Batman fan was angered by this less than tasteful joke from Smith, feeling it completely degraded and humiliated the character for the sake of a cheap laugh instead of humanizing the character.
160* ''ComicBook/CaptainBritain'': In Creator/AlanMoore's 80s run on ''ComicBook/CaptainBritainWeekly'', Captain UK, an alternate-reality version of Captain Britain, wets herself at the sight of the Fury, the cyborg monster responsible for killing all the superheroes of her home reality, after it has wreaked havoc on Captain Britain and his compatriots.

163* ''ComicBook/{{Kobalt}}'': The fourth issue has Kobalt psychololgically torture a man he's tied up by smearing peanut butter on him and leaving for now while claiming he'll let some rats eat him later. Kobalt's captive is so horrified by this that he pees himself.
164* ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'': When the Saint of Killers returned from the dead, the first person he encounters is the ex-preacher who is part of the gang who killed him. The preacher wets himself in fear and starts uttering one last prayer before the Saint kills him.

166* ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'': In Volume 3, when Scott and Todd are about to fight at Honest Ed's, and Wallace is giving Scott some advice on how to beat Todd.

Ramona then says, "It's not raining."
167* ''ComicBook/{{Silverblade}}'': In issue #5, two paparazzi are sneaking into the grounds of Shangri-La when they are confronted by Blackfeather in the form of a wolf:

171* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Bruce Banner was released during the battle with the Chitauri, becoming Hulk. Nick Fury was not in MissionControl duties but in the scene, and had no problem to admit that he was messing a decent pair of army pants...

Sonia, the woman who rescued him, explains he had an "accident" in his pants when he landed in the grass. In the television series, Sonia gives a lame excuse about his clothes being covered in blood.

194--> Kivith's footsteps echoed through the hall as he hurried towards his master, his cheeks burning with shame. With every step, the wet cloth of his apprentice robes slapped against his shins, reminding him that it was stained with bright yellow liquid.

Present Mic is captured and brutally tortured nearly to death. He endures a horrific [[ATasteOfTheLash flogging with a cat-o-nine-tails]] and loses bladder control during it. And given the state he was in at the end and the filth and stench of mixed body fluids Aizawa notes on him and the chair he was shackled to, it’s a safe bet it wasn’t the only time

233* Happens rather a lot in ''Fanfic/RobbReturns'', with numerous characters noting that they wanted to piss themselves when seeing things like people being possessed by the Old Gods, evidence of the Others and wights, and a live direwolf.

241** In Episode 41 part 1, Farnus regains consciousness after being taken prisoner by Ahsoka and Rex a few episodes prior, and finds himself strapped down to a chair inside a medical tent full of Clones being tended to by medical droids. The realization that he's been captured by the enemy (potentially a FateWorseThanDeath in the ''[[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 40K]]'' universe depending on the faction) combined with the sight of the droids (which the Imperials [[FantasticRacism hate and fear as Abominable Intelligences]]) causes him to have a panic attack and piss his pants out of sheer terror.

245** Asuka's brutal fighting style has this reaction from a spectator:

247** Subverted. In the epilogue, Touji and Kensuke are terrified after [[spoiler:meeting the Chaos Gods,]] but some external force prevents them from staining their pants.
248--->They were terrified, but they found themselves unable to act on their fear. Something from outside them was overriding their ability to act in even the most instinctive ways, which was a good thing for their pants.
249* In [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1088094 this crossover fanart,]] Reisen of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fame does this upon seeing the titular VideoGame/AoOni [[NightmareFace (for very good reason)]], much to Inaba's [[{{Troll}} delight.]]

254* [[LovableCoward Razzik]] from ''Fanfic/WhatLiesBeyondTheWalls'' tends to wet himself whenever he's scared out of his wits.

255* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11033616/14/You-re-my-Density You're My Density]]'' Ron wets himself when he sees Voldemort's face on the back of Quirrell's head.

267* In ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'', Hank inks after [[spoiler: a young girl pokes him in the touch exhibit at the Marine Life Institute]]. This helps play a crucial role in how [[spoiler: Dory gets back to her parents]]. While inking is more a case of BowelBreakingBricks than this trope, Dory reassures Hank by saying that "everyone does it", indicating that everyone does ''something'' involuntary when scared, which might include incontinence.
268* There is a running gag to this effect in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon''. When he assumes he's going on a expedition to find the dragons' nest, Gobber remarks that he'll pack extra undies.

293* Defied in ''Film/NinthCompany''. A bunch of young recruits are in boot camp in Afghanistan, and, as a drill, they have to lie in a shallow trench, let a ''tank'' roll over them and then throw a dummy Molotov's cocktail at it. One of them completes the assignment, but then it turns out that he'd wet himself from fear, much to the amusement of his comrades.

310* In the 1996 French war movie ''Film/CaptainConan'', a parade is held to announce the signing of the Armistice ending World War I. The solemnity of this occasion is ruined by the large numbers of soldiers running off the parade ground to drop their pants as they're suffering from dysentery.

A puddle emerges from underneath Chance.
337* In ''Film/{{Innerspace}}'', Tuck, a former pilot, gets into an argument with another pilot after drunkenly telling the story of landing a crippled plane in a storm.
338-->'''Rusty:''' And give that crippled Tomcat story a rest, 'cause we've all heard it.\

The protagonist sees the puddle he's making and gets clued in, then makes a valiant try at bluffing his way through his interaction with the villain -- bluff checks are notoriously spotty when it comes to scenes like these.
353* Happens to Will Graham's son in ''Film/RedDragon'', which gave him an idea on how to defeat Francis Dolarhyde.
354* ''Film/RoboCop1987'': Young corporate upstart Bob Morton mocks CorruptCorporateExecutive Dick Jones in the executive washroom, only for a [[BathroomStallOfOverheardInsults stall to open]] and the [[RightBehindMe subject of conversation emerge]]. Everyone else in the washroom immediately flees including the man Bob was talking to, who does up his fly before he's finished urinating in his eagerness to leave.
355* In ''Film/RockOfAges'', Dennis craps himself upon beholding the [[BoyBand Z-Guyeezz]] performing not-so-live.

357'''Lonnie:''' Where?\
358'''Dennis:''' In my pants. Out of my ass.
359* Happens to Inspector Lee at the end of ''Film/RushHour3'' (he had been suffering from constipation for most of the film).
360* In ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', a major record producer named G-Man compliments Sex Bob-Omb on their set and the lead guitarist wets himself. The trope is subverted since it's not due to fear but overwhelming joy. Just so you don't miss it, it's [[PaintingTheMedium pointed out for you on-screen]].
361* ''Film/Slipstream1989'': After BuzzingTheDeck and canyon dodging in his ultralight, Owens suggests that his passenger might need to change his pants, unaware that his passenger is an android who really doesn't have to worry about such things.
362* Partially comedic example in ''Film/{{Soldier}}''.

The new driver complies, driving fast and dangerously through the city, as she ultimately gets so scared by the erratic driving and being thrashed around the car that she wets herself and thrown from the car right in front of the paparazzi, who quickly get pics. The once tough-talking superstar subsequently begins to cower and cry in front of everyone, further destroying her reputation. It's revealed midway through that her manager is behind this as revenge for his constant mistreatment, showing who the true spineless one really is.
365* In ''Film/StarflightOne'' (1982), a character has to go outside the hypersonic aircraft [[DisasterMovie which is adrift in space]] and do some necessary repairs. He says he'll need a wire stripper, some nuts, "and a dry pair of pants when I get back".
366* ''[[Film/StuartLittle Stuart Little 2]]'':
367** Stuart and Snowbell head out to a seedier part of town to find the whereabouts of the villainous Falcon, Stuart as intrepid as usual, and Snowbell in the need of a [[PottyEmergency litter box]]. They meet up with Monte, who explains to the two how sinister the Falcon is. Snowbell is left terrified.
368--->'''Stuart:''' Snowbell, are you all right?\
369'''Snowbell:''' Yeah. In fact, good news. I no longer need a litter box.\
370'''Monte:''' ''(laughing heartily and rolling on the ground)'' Mop up on aisle three!
371** And in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VCa6xoEcMk early trailer,]] Snowbell gives this little hum-ding after falling down the side of a skyscraper:
372--->'''Snowbell:''' This is now officially a litter box!
373* In ''Film/TheSubstitute'', Shale decides to interrogate a bad guy [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique Jack Bauer-style]]. The bad guy becomes so terrified that he poops himself. Though he tries to blame it on the bowl of high fiber cereal he'd just eaten.

375* In ''Film/TakeShelter'', the hero wets himself during a particularly intense bad dream.
376* Happens in ''Film/TangoAndCash'', during Requin's interrogation scene:
377-->'''Tango:''' Do you think he's telling the truth?\
378'''Cash:''' I don't know. But it's not raining, and he's standing in a puddle.\
379'''Tango:''' Disgusting.
380* A subtle example occurs in ''Film/TeenWolf'', when Harold Howard [[PapaWolf tells his son's principal to step off]], a nice little speech punctuated at the end by a low, bestial growl (the principal knows about the family legacy of lycanthropy). After a beat, both men glance down, and Harold, back to friendly, remarks, "I knew I could count on you." It is strongly implied that the principal has wet himself. This is made even funnier by the fact that Harold is at least a foot shorter than the principal.
381* In ''Film/{{Threads}}'', a nuclear attack hits RAF Finningley near Sheffield. As people are running around the streets screaming in terror as the mushroom cloud rises over the city, one woman can be seen just staring at it with urine streaming down her leg. BlackComedy at its finest.
382* ''Film/TigerOnBeat'' has the main character Francis (played by Creator/ChowYunFat, ''of all people'') wetting himself in a standoff scene going wrong.
383* Medieval-era Vincent's "personal problem" in ''Film/TimeBandits'', which reactivates as he's tied to a tree with his girlfriend Pansy.
384-->'''Vincent:''' Oh no. The problem. The problem, Pansy! It's started again!\
385'''Pansy:''' Oh! Oh, don't worry, darling!\
386'''Vincent:''' Ohhh... ohhh...\
387'''Pansy:''' I say!\
388'''Vincent:''' I must have fruit!

390** The first movie features a small time hoodlum wetting his own pants after seeing Toxie for the first time.

395* The Salvadorean film ''Film/VocesInocentes'' ("Innocent Voices") has a scene where an army unit goes into a middle school to [[ChildSoldiers pick up a fresh batch of draftees]] to fight the Marxist guerillas. As the students stand in attention to see if their name is called, the camera focuses on a boy who creates a large puddle of urine around his feet.
396* Subverted in Jack Neo's film ''We Not Naughty''. After seeing a wet spot on the car floor, Weijie and Jianren believe that Mrs. CK had wet herself in fright, due to Jianren's erratic driving; [[spoiler:however, instead, she is about to go in labor]].

400--->'''Deadpool:''' WAIT! You might be wondering "Why the red suit?" Well, that's so bad guys can't see me bleed. ''[points to a {{Mook|s}}]'' This guy's got the right idea. He wore the brown pants!
401** Later used as a CallBack BrickJoke in ''Film/Deadpool2'' when [[spoiler:Deadpool meets Juggernaut]]:
402--->'''Deadpool:''' I should've worn my white pants.
403* Happens to Columbus at the beginning of ''Film/{{Zombieland}}''. One of his rules is "beware of bathrooms" and trying to use the john at a gas station leads to an extended zombie chase.
404-->'''Columbus:''' At least I found a place to do number two...

407[[folder:Jokes]]
408* Joke:
409-->An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, 'Seven Points.'\
410His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?'\
411The old man replied, 'It's fart football.'\
412A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says 'Touchdown, tie score.'\
413After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, 'aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.'\
414Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, 'Touchdown, tie score.'\
415Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, 'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.'\
416Now the pressure is on the old man.\
417[[IWasBeatenByAGirl He refuses to get beaten by a woman]], so he strains real hard. Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally shits in the bed.\
418The wife says, 'What the hell was that?'\
419The old man says, 'Half time, [[{{Squick}} switch sides]].
420* Joke:
421-->An airline pilot starts making a routine announcement over the PA system, then suddenly screams at the top of his lungs. A moment later, he says, "Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen. No cause for alarm, I just knocked a hot cup of coffee onto my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" Hearing this, a passenger says, "That's nothing, you should see the back of mine!"
422* Old Joke (At least an UrExample, if not the outright {{Trope Namer|s}}):
423-->Lord Nelson is getting ready for the Battle of Trafalgar. The faithful Hardy is laying out his uniform.\
424"Lay out my red frock-coat, Hardy, so if I'm hit, the sailors will not see me bleed and thus get disheartened."\
425"Very good, sir. Very wise. Apparently there are fourteen French warships heading straight for us."\
426Nelson pauses for a moment.\
427"Hardy?"\
428"Yes, sir?"\
429"In that case... lay out my brown trousers."
430[[/folder]]
431
432[[folder:Literature]]
433* "Literature/AfterKingKongFell" has Tim Howller faint and pee himself at the site of the real Kong escaping in the theatre.
434* There is a scene from ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront'' where a new soldier soils himself when bombs go off nearby. The other soldiers merely tell him that it happens and to just throw his underpants away and move on.
435* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'':
436** In ''[[Recap/AnimorphsTheChange The Change]]'', Tobias and Ax apparently wet themselves when Jara Hamee ''slices his own head open'' to prove that he's not infested with a [[PuppeteerParasite Yeerk]].
437** In ''[[Recap/AnimorphsTheIllusion The Illusion]]'', when Tobias is captured and tortured by the Yeerks, the author is kind enough to draw the reader's attention to the exact point in time where the pain becomes intense enough to invoke this trope (though he is a bird at this point). [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids You know, for kids!]]
438* In ''Literature/AshASecretHistory'', several characters piss or soil themselves on the field of battle or in other horrifying situations.
439* In the {{Novelization}} of ''Film/Batman1989'', when Batman attacks a criminal at the beginning, it's said that "all he could do was piss in his pants".
440* In ''Literature/BattleGround2020'', Rudolph is reduced to a blubbering mess in a pool of his own urine when Harry [[spoiler:comes gunning for his blood for killing Murphy]].
441* In ''The Bloody Road to Death'' by Creator/SvenHassel, a DirtyCoward of a Nazi officer is caught by shelling on his way back to headquarters and soils himself, quickly getting rid of the evidence. Porta chooses that moment to come along and naturally draws attention to the event as loudly as possible.
442-->''"Are you injured, sir, seeing as you just had to dispose of your pants, sir?! [[ShotInTheAss A shot in the arse]], sir, is a very dangerous thing, sir! Shall I call an orderly to dress it, sir?!"''
443* In ''Literature/BryonyAndRoses'', Bryony's first encounter with the Beast, raging over her taking the enchanted rose, ends with her fainting; when she wakes up, she's mortified to realise that she's also wet herself.
444* ''Literature/CiaphasCain'':
445** Commissar Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, remarks on several occasions that he may seem brave at this moment, but he really, really needs to change his pants.
446** Cain gets to help deliver one of these in ''The Traitor's Hand''. He and an Arbite are tag-team interrogating a smuggler who hadn't realized he was working for a Chaos cult. Once this gets explained to the smuggler, Cain comments that he now understands why the interrogation chamber has a floor drain.
447* This happens to the eponymous character of ''Literature/{{Crabbe}}'' when he's attacked by a bear.
448* An American officer in WWII does this in ''Literature/{{Cryptonomicon}}'', where his incontinence is contrasted to General [=MacArthur=]'s coolness.
449* In Lene Kaaberbol's ''Dina at the Dragon Fortress'', Dina, a 13-year-old girl, is caught between two dragons:
450-->"It would be wonderful if I could say that I looked at the dragon calmly and fearlessly. But I didn't. Instead, I wet myself."
451* This is so common in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' that it nearly hits RunningGag status. Nearly every instance of extreme fright will be followed by a mention of dampness or the need to do laundry. Specific examples:
452** In ''Literature/MonstrousRegiment'', just before Corporal Strappi runs away.
453** In ''Literature/FeetOfClay'', when Colon is hanging off the edge of a roof.
454** ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'' also mentions that Rincewind costs the Unseen University money due to an above-average amount of soiled pants. Archchancellor Ridcully, however, feels it's worth the price since Rincewind's status as a [[CosmicPlaything Cosmic]] ButtMonkey keeps it from having to be anyone else.
455** ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'' has a trainee History Monk who doesn't realize he just challenged Lu-Tze [[OhCrap to a duel]]. Once he does, he's prepared to give up his belt (symbolizing his current martial-art rank) to get out of the fight.
456--->'''Lu-Tze:''' No, no, we don't need that. ... And we would not want his trousers falling down at a time like this, would we? ''Especially'' at a time like this.
457** Used twice in ''Literature/TheAmazingMauriceAndHisEducatedRodents''. It's PlayedForLaughs when Sardines narrowly escapes a mouse trap and says that "It's a good job rats don't wear underwear". Later it's PlayedForDrama when Dangerous Beans gives the Rat King a ReasonYouSuckSpeech. He manages to maintain a completely calm and unfazed exterior, with the only sign that he's actually terrified being that he's widdled himself.
458** In ''Literature/FeetOfClay'', one of a gang of criminals facing Carrot (six foot of muscle with a very sharp sword) and Angua (in wolf form) mutters to the gang leader that he has a weak heart. When Carrot throws a loaf of [[BaguetteBeatdown dwarf bread]] and it embeds itself in a cart inches from his face, the LemonyNarrator notes that he also has a fragile bladder.
459* ''Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse'':
460** From the ''Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'' novel ''[[Recap/EighthDoctorAdventuresTheAncestorCell The Ancestor Cell]]'', after the [[SpaceshipGirl humanoid TARDIS]] seriously malfunctions, crashlands in a horrible spooky place, and spits out everything inside her, including the Doctor and his companion Fitz, who admits to farting with terror:
461--->'''The Doctor:''' [...]There's a stench of decay here.\
462'''Fitz:''' Sorry. ''[smiles and waftes with his hands]'' That would be me. Well, I was very frightened.
463** Fitz also once either pisses himself or comes very close when trying to rescue the Doctor from the living personification of FutureMeScaresMe, or possibly just the Doctor's own paradoxical and terrifying future self, in what he describes as a "surrealist hell". True to this trope, he's quite happy about the fact that he's too soaked for anyone to notice. Under the circumstances, it just makes him all the more [[TheWoobie sympathetic]] and [[CowardlyLion admirable]].
464** In the ''Literature/DoctorWhoMissingAdventures'' novel ''State of Change'', Peri speaks of having an 'accident' out of terror while StrappedToAnOperatingTable in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E2VengeanceOnVaros Vengeance on Varos]]".
465* ''Literature/{{DOME}}'' features a senior technician in a nuclear reactor control room voiding his bladder as he realizes everything's going pear shaped and everyone in the room is about to die.
466* ''Literature/DragonridersOfPern'': Discussed in ''Dragonseye'' between B'nurrin and K'vin about the prospect of facing the first Threadfall in two hundred years (they're at the end of the first Interval, about to face the Second Pass). K'vin's Weyrwoman, Zulaya, surprises him by admitting she's concerned about needing to change pants during Fall herself.
467* This happens twice to Leresy Cadigus in the ''Literature/DragonsOfRequiem'' trilogy ''The Dragon War'', most notably after [[spoiler:Valien nearly executes him]]. A jailor named Halfhead also wets his pants in ''Dawn of Dragons'' after Tanin threatens to "curse" him into becoming a dragon.
468* ''Literature/{{Dreamspeaker}}'': Peter Baxter is an 11-year-old boy who isn't toilet trained. As a result, he tends to pee his pants.
469* ''Literature/TheEnglishDragon'': Played straight. Oliver wets himself while panicking about Ben's disappearance.
470* ''{{Literature/Everworld}}'': David wets himself when Loki (in giant form) grabs him and yells at him like a hurricane. It doesn't help his [[ARealManIsAKiller massive self-image problems]] [[spoiler:due to being raped as a child]]. Loki, {{Jerkass God|s}} that he is, tells his mooks to "kill the cowardly one slowly".
471* ''Literature/FamilySkeletonMysteries'': Haunted house attractions are noted for having caused this in a few people, including the man who tried to molest a six-year-old Georgia ([[spoiler:though Sid's revival also played a part]]), and at least one of the people attending [=McHades Hall=].
472* Literature/{{Flashman}} farts his way down the Valley of Death during the Charge of the Light Brigade, as he hasn't eaten for days and so has no solid matter to 'release'.
473* "Literature/FlowersForAlgernon": In his youth, Charlie tended to 'make' in his pants whenever he got scared, which, considering that he's mentally disabled, happens rather often. Then his [[AbusiveParents mother]] Rose made it worse by spanking him for soiling himself, thinking that would stop him from doing it/being mentally disabled.
474* ''Literature/FoundationsFear'': While Hari Seldon and Dors Venabili are training to pilot a tiny spaceship through a [[OurWormholesAreDifferent tiny "wild worm"]], he notices that the apparently risk-loving pilots have memorial plaques on their urinals, rather than public memorials or gravestones. They record their use of the place to "relieve" themselves, rather than their death. As you might expect, he shit himself on the first training run.
475-->In the men's room, above the urinal he used, Hari saw a small gold plaque: Senior Pilot Joquan Beunn relieved himself here Octdent 4, 13,435.\
476Every urinal had a similar plaque. There was a washing machine in the locker room with a large plaque over it, reading The entire 43rd Pilot Corps relieved themselves here Marlass 18, 13,675.\
477Pilot humor. It turned out to be absolutely predictive. He messed himself on his first training run.
478* The first ''Literature/FrannyKStein'' book, ''Lunch Walks Among Us'', had a running gag where one kid at Franny's school kept wetting his pants. The last instance has him wetting himself when he and the other children watch in horror as Franny uses the lunch meat from the kids' sandwiches to create a FrankensteinsMonster.
479* ''Literature/AGirlNamedDisaster'': The first time she sees a landmine go off, Nhamo wets her pants.
480* ''Literature/GoingAfterCacciato'': This is why most of the book's plot even exists.
481* In the first ''Literature/GordTheRogue'' novel (a ''[=D&D=]'' ''World of TabletopGame/{{Greyhawk}}'' tie-in), Gord pees himself during a beginning of the book encounter with a street gang. After leveling up big time, Gord heads back to that neighborhood at the end of the book specifically to make the gang leader both piss and crap his pants.
482* Happens in ''Goshawk Squadron'' by Creator/DerekRobinson, due to the castor oil lubricant used by World War One aircraft. Another pilot recommends drinking Scotch to solve the problem, [[INeedAFreakingDrink which also solves another trope]].
483* Just about every single ''Literature/GotrekAndFelix'' novel involving skaven (RatMen with DirtyCoward as one of their biggest hats) will contain a reference to a skaven spraying/spurting/releasing "fear musk".
484* In ''Literature/TheGreenMile'' and [[Film/TheGreenMile its film adaptation]], Percy [[MeaningfulName Wetmore]] is grabbed and molested by "Wild Bill" Wharton, which causes him to piss himself in terror, much to Delacroix's amusement.
485* In later books of the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' series, high-ranking Solarian officers frequently make [[DiscussedTrope snide comments]] about how the opposing Manticoran commander must be suffering from this. Then the Sollies wonder why the Manty commander isn't backing down. Then a [[MacrossMissileMassacre Manticoran Missile Massacre]] gets [[OhCrap launched]].
486* ''Literature/HorusHeresy'': In ''Age of Darkness: Forgotten Sons'', this is described as a symptom of "transhuman terror", a common reaction that mortals have to seeing [[SuperSoldier Space Marines]] in action.
487* Lampshaded and averted in ''Literature/TheHuntForRedOctober'' when Jack Ryan -- in a nervous spot -- congratulates himself for having gone to the toilet prior to the scary bits.
488* ''Literature/ImperialRadch'': {{Invoked|Trope}} by [[spoiler:Tisarwat]], who makes a deliberately inept attempt to infiltrate an enemy spaceship, then breaks down sobbing and wets her pants as soon as she's captured. The display distracts the enemy leader from the fact that [[spoiler:Tisarwat]] has the top-level access codes to take control of the spaceship [[ArtificialIntelligence AI]], which she quickly does.
489* In ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' novel ''What Savage Beast'', a villain soils himself after Banner Hulks out (the villain had [[NiceJobFixingItVillain inadvertently destroyed]] the AppliedPhlebotinum that was keeping Banner from turning into the Hulk while attacking him).
490* ''Literature/IslandBeneathTheSea'': Valmorain wets his breeches when the rebels are about to attack his home in Le Cap, Saint-Domingue, during the Haitian Revolution.
491* ''Literature/JurassicPark1990'': PR representative Ed Regis, when he realizes that the electric fences don't work and that ''T. rex'' is about to escape her enclosure, wets his pants, runs out of the car, and leaves Lex and Tim to their fate.
492* ''Literature/TheKaijuPreservationSociety'': When new recruits like Jamie go through "ground training" (being certified to work on the jungle floor), Step One is making sure said new recruits understand just how dangerous Kaiju Earth is. This trope ensues most of the time; Jamie's trainer comments that the ones who ''don't'' are the ones she worries about.
493* A number of Creator/StephenKing works feature this. ''Literature/TheShining'', ''Literature/TheStand'', ''Literature/GeraldsGame'', to name a few...
494* In ''Literature/LifeIsARoad'', author Daniel Meyer tells a tale of a young boy who's friends had knocked over Daniel's [[BadassBiker motorcycle]]. The young boy tried to right it but failed, and waited for the owner to help him -- who happened to be a 300-pound BadassBiker. The boy wet himself and nearly fainted, but still didn't run, and thus Daniel deemed this kid -- wet crotch and all -- a man.
495* In ''Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears'', when the mouse invents an island based on his fears that's shaped like himself, he dubs the area under the butt "weewater west", implying that he wet himself.

672* In an episode of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', Catherine Weaver's daughter Savannah wets herself when her mother (who was really not her mother, but a T-1000 who took her form) told her somewhat sternly to sit down beside her during a photo shoot promoting her company, Zeira Corp. The child supposedly knew something was "off" about "her mother".
673* ''Series/TheThickOfIt'' - Malcolm Tucker invokes this at one point when summoning Nicola to his office.
674--> Might be an idea to wear brown trousers and a shirt the colour of blood.
675* In ''Film/{{Threads}}'', the city of Sheffield comes under nuclear attack. One particularly memorable shot is simply a woman's leg, wearing heeled shoes and trousers. A stream of yellow liquid is coming out of the trouser leg. It's insanely horrible. However it did lead to [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1856457 one of the saddest and funniest IMDB profiles ever.]]
676* ''Series/{{Titus}}'':
677** In the pilot episode, Tommy pees himself when they find out [[spoiler:Dad's not dead, and he's standing behind them]]. Almost unnoticeable, unless you're looking for it. Mentioned in the episode's DVD commentary.
678** In the courtroom episode, it's revealed Tommy wet himself when Titus' mother shot her husband. Later, she takes the judge hostage, but he gets free when Ken goes in to talk to her. Upon seeing evidence of how the judge handled the situation, Tommy gloats, "Oh, look! The Judge wet himself!"
679* ''Series/TopGearUK'': When things pass from "not gone well" to "dangerously wrong", expect Clarkson to claim "Some poo's come out!" For example, after nearly crashing his sports car-cum-train into an actual train facing the opposite way on the same track. Hammond will also claim to have "had a wee" from time to time.
680** The tradition continued when the trio switched over to ''Series/TheGrandTour'' During the cable car challenge of the Namibia special Jeremy declares that his "rectum has just opened like a set of theatre curtains" while Hammond suggests that brown leather would have been a better upholstery choice after an acceleration/braking challenge in a classic Jaguar with the end of the track being a very high cliff.
681* In ''Series/TrueBlood'', an unfortunate police officer wets himself after a close call with Bill.
682* In ''Series/TheTudors'', Catherine Howard wets herself at the sight of Lady Rochford's death.
683* ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'': After Walden apologises for nearly killing them with his reckless driving, Alan apologises for peeing on his car seat.
684* ''Series/VanHelsing2016'': In "Wakey, Wakey", a teenage Scarlett Harker pulled a knife on a boy who wouldn't keep his hands to himself, and he wet himself.
685* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' - This is said almost word-for-word by Colin when the Scene From The Hat was Confusing Battle Cries.
686* In ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' episode "Flood" Mike happens to mention that there's a lion tamer in his bedroom. Neil, not knowing this, opens the door to Mike's room. When he sees the lion there's a loud squelch.
687** It happens to him again in the second series episode "Time". A light bulb in the ceiling decided to leave to get away from Neil's [=BO=] (Vyvyan was holding him over his head to use as a weapon while fighting with Rick), and Mike, Vyvyan, and Rick are preparing to jump off a ladder and onto one end of a seesaw to propel Neil toward the ceiling to put in a new light bulb. As they count down to the jump, there is a loud squelch. Mike tells Neil not to worry, as that shouldn't affect his overall weight in their calculations.
688** Rik also has this happen to him in "Bambi" when he tries to kill himself [[spoiler: with laxative pills.]]
689[[/folder]]
690
691[[folder:Music]]
692* Possibly invoked in ''Revolution 9'' by Music/TheBeatles, with this line:
693-->Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants.
694* Music/MitchBenn's song "Credit Crunch" (which describes the global financial crisis InTheStyleOf a cereal advertisement) includes the spoken line "And remember, kids, Credit Crunch is so worrying it even turns your trousers brown!"
695* Music/Elvira's "Haunted House" claims "you get so nervous that you nearly mess your underwears" upon not knowing if that "Was that just the wind or someone creepin' up the stairs".
696* Music/TheLonelyIsland's "Trouble on Dookie Island" is about two thieves shitting their pants repeatedly (and ''rapidly'') while getting away from cops. Eventually they produce so much shit that their legs get stuck in a mountain of it, causing them to be killed graphically in the shootout.
697* Music/LynyrdSkynyrd in the song ''Gimme Three Steps'':
698--> Well the crowd cleared away, and I began to pray, as the water fell on the floor; I'm telling you son, it ain't no fun, staring straight down a forty-four.
699* In the video clip of Music/{{Rammstein}}'s "Ich Will", Paul advances on a security guard while dragging a terrified woman behind him. The shot changes and suddenly the woman is lying motionless on the floor behind him while Paul keeps coming undeterred -- and the guard pees his pants.
700* In the ''Music/{{Songdrops}}'' song "You Turn My Pinkies Blue", the singer once gets so nervous waltzing with his girlfriend that he wets his pants.
701* In the ''Music/{{Pierce the Veil}}'' music video for "King for a Day", Vic Fuentes and Kellin Quinn portray the roles of bankers. The storyline revolves around a pivotal event where the bank manager, Mr. Smalls, requests both characters to remain in the bank overnight. Their task is to rectify sales values for an impending IRS audit. However, during their diligent work, they stumble upon a shocking revelation. It becomes apparent that Mr. Smalls has secretly transferred an astonishing sum of over $2,500,000 to an offshore bank located in Switerland. The next day, Quinn and Fuentes join forces with their fellow band members from Pierce the Veil, who portray a group planning to rob the bank. Fuentes and Quinn make a stylish entrance into the building, dressed in sleek black suits. Within the chaos, Mr. Smalls, the bank manager, falls victim to one of the robbers, leaving the rest of the bankers hiding in fear. The robbers proceed to access the safe-deposit boxes, swiftly collecting the money into bags that are later distributed to the bank employees. Meanwhile, in a moment of vulnerability and fear, Mr. Smalls, bound and unable to escape, unintentionally urinates on himself.
702* "Nobody Likes Me" by The Northern Boys has Jeremy Pain, [[LyricalDissonance surprisingly confidently]], wrap up a verse about hanging out near the red-light district with, "And then I get mugged and my pants turn brown!"
703[[/folder]]
704
705[[folder:Mythology & Religion]]
706* From the ''Literature/ProseEdda'': The clay giant Mökkurkalfi, who is supposed to aid the giant Hrungnir in a duel with Thor, wets himself when he sees Thor approaching.
707-->''...he was sore afraid, and it is said that he wet himself when he saw Thor.''
708* In some translations of ''Literature/TheBible'' in the Literature/BookOfDaniel, when King Belshazzar of Babylon saw the hand writing the PortentOfDoom on the wall when he and his royal court were having a drinking party with the vessels from the Temple of God, the king was so frightened that he urinated in his robes.
709[[/folder]]
710
711[[folder:Professional Wrestling ]]
712* [[Wrestling/SidEudy Sycho Sid]] crapping his pants in the middle of his ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} 13'' match against Wrestling/TheUndertaker is one of the most enduring tales in the ProfessionalWrestling fandom. Unfortunately for Sid, he managed to live it down, by replacing that image with his horrific leg break in 2001.
713* Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin pulling a [[BANGFlagGun "BANG!" flag]] gun on Wrestling/{{Vince|McMahon}}:
714--> '''Austin''': "[[MemeticMutation McMahon 3:16]] says 'I just pissed my pants!'"
715* Possibly because of the Vince incident mentioned above, anytime a non-wrestling persona is in the ring with a wrestler, under the implication he's going to get his ass kicked, the ring announcers always say something to the extent of "Good thing he's wearing dark pants."
716* Wrestling/JimCornette shat himself when Wrestling/{{Boogeyman}} debuted in Ohio Valley Wrestling. This was actually a case of Cornette failing to control his temper due to anger rather than fear, but we only learned that in hindsight since at the time he was telling everyone Boogeyman was the dangerous individual he had [[{{foreshadowing}} warned them about earlier]] and [[TheDreaded were supposed to be running from]](Boogeyman had accidentally injured a fan by [[CharlesAtlasSuperPower snapping some railing]] in an attempt to intimidate a wrestler who had missed his cue to flee).
717* In the 2011 revival of ''Wrestling/WWEToughEnough'', "Stone Cold" Steve Austin admitted that very early in his career, he shat himself in the middle of a match, but simply continued.
718* Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon may have followed in Daddy's footsteps at the 2014 PPV Payback. After getting slapped hard by [[Wrestling/BellaTwins Brie Bella]], some keen-eyed viewers noticed a dark streak on the back of Steph's dress when she was fleeing the ring. It's debated whether she did indeed accidentally wet herself when Brie slapped her (the slap was probably scripted, but Stephanie might not have expected it at that exact moment and the speed and strength of it might've literally knocked the piss out of her) or if the "stain" was actually a part of the dress itself underneath the top layer that happened to hit an unfortunate camera angle.
719* At ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2018'', Wrestling/DrakeMaverick peed himself when Wrestling/BigShow was about to attack him.
720[[/folder]]
721[[folder:Roleplay]]
722* From ''Roleplay/TheDaoOfTheAwakened'':
723** During their first encounter with [[CanisMajor Tianlang]], the four students all get quite a scare, but Li Gai actually loses control of his bladder. The other three are too polite to comment. The wolf is not.
724** During one adventure, Hua Yin cuts down a guy hanging in a trap he triggered. Since he used the sword, and the guy is one who stole from him in the past, the smell at the end is clear enough.
725[[/folder]]
726
727[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
728* ''TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil'': A side effect of close-range use of the sound-based screamer pistol is that its vibrations may resonate with the bowels and cause them to suddenly empty themselves. Since the pistols are intended to disrupt targets' ability to concentrate enough to use magic, this is generally seen as an extra practical perk by the Task Force: VALKIRIE agents who use them.
729* ''TabletopGame/InNomine'': Subverted in the opening vignette in ''Fall of the Malakim''. During a particularly tense confrontation between an angel and a demon that he's partly responsible for, the Malakite Maximillian undergoes a nervous breakdown and develops a "large, wet bulge" in the seat of his pants, to the demons' disgust and the other angel's embarrassment. Once the others manage to get his pants off to deal with the issue, it's revealed that he didn't actually soil himself -- rather, the dissonance he had been enduring from standing by and watching demons act freely without being able to interfere had transformed into physical Discord in the form a long, slimy tail. To an angel, this physical mark of moral deviance would however be much more shameful than just a sudden bowel movement.
730[[/folder]]
731
732[[folder:Theater]]
733* At the end of the "And All That Jazz" number in ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}'' Roxie shoots Fred and then announces "I gotta pee!"
734* Happens regularly in Creator/{{Aristophanes}}' plays, an example from ''The Frogs'' (Dionysos' slave Xanthias has just described to him a horrible monster that may or may not have existed):
735-->'''Dionysos:''' How I went pale at this sight!\
736'''Xanthias:''' ''(points at Dionysos' robe)'' And this, out of fright, went brown for you.
737* In ''[[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical A Very Potter Sequel]]'', right before they travel back in time, says something along the lines of, "I hope you're all wearing your diapers." After the time travel, Ron asked, "Why did I just shit my pants?"
738[[/folder]]
739
740[[folder:Video Games]]
741* In ''VideoGame/ArkSurvivalEvolved'', the Rex's MightyRoar will cause any creature it stuns to instantly void their bowels. Given that this is caused by being roared at by a ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex'' (well, T. dominum), one of several InfinityPlusOneSword mounts, ''[[RuleOfCool which might have a plasma cannon attached to its head]]'', this also doubles as a literal case of OhCrap.
742** ''Yutyrannus'''s fearsome roar can also induce uncontrollable bowel movements, along with [[InterfaceScrew uncontrollable blind panic]].
743* In ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}}: Vietnam'', the player character would whimper and then proceed to defecate if you let yourself fall without using a parachute for a long enough time.
744* If you enter a room in ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' with only half a heart your character will leave a yellow puddle next to the door, even if you're playing as a ghost, demon, or angel of destruction. However, if you play as [[EmoTeen Eve]], she will leave a bloodstain instead.
745* In ''VideoGame/BlackMesa'', the scientist hiding in the dumpster soils himself when a headcrab leaps at him, explaining why he can't come with Gordon which was unexplained in the original ''VideoGame/HalfLife1''.
746* A recurring theme in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':
747** In ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueCalamityTrigger Calamity Trigger Reconstructed]]'', we have a moment when Rachel teleports right in front of Ragna.
748--->"A thousand pardons, for you and your excrement both.
749** Shows up twice in in ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift Continuum Shift Extend]]'':
750*** Hazama cops to nearly peeing himself [[spoiler:when [[SpannerInTheWorks Makoto sends his local plans down in flames]] during ''Slight Hope'']].
751*** In Valkenhayn's Joke Ending, after Valkenhayn tells a legend of a creature that makes even Hakuman pee himself (ignoring the FridgeLogic of him being AnimatedArmor). Ragna comments "You're gonna make ''me'' pee." Taokaka then admits that she just ''did''.
752* In the opening scene of ''[[VideoGame/BreathOfFire Breath of Fire 3]]'', one of the miner claims to have wet himself in fright of the main character Ryu (in dragon form) running wild through the mine, spreading panic to all the workers.
753* ''VideoGame/TheCaregiver'': When [[PlayerCharacter Tomita]] finally finds Souichi, one of the first things he does is pee himself, leaving a puddle of urine on the floor right under him.
754* In the Thieves' Forest area of ''VideoGame/CastleCrashers'', there are instances where an owl, a deer, and even a bear, soil themselves in fright at some creature stomping around the woods. In the Abandoned Mill immediately following, you see the huge creature firsthand, and have to ride one of the deer to safety. The deer may or may not have the runs ''as'' it runs.
755* PlayedForLaughs in the ending to ''[[VideoGame/DeBlob De Blob 2]]'' when the hero defecates red paint onto the Hypno Ray dish at sight of the black hole.
756* Can be [[InvokedTrope invoked]] and [[ExploitedTrope weaponized]] in ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'' if you are equipped with the Legendary pants “[[https://us.diablo3.com/en-us/item/pox-faulds-Unique_Pants_007_p2 Pox Faulds]][[note]][[FlavorText Made from the treated skin of plague victims]][[/note]].” If at least three enemies are nearby, you trigger the “Stinky” status buff, which generates a toxic cloud that deals significant (450-550% weapon damage per second) poison damage for several seconds. These can easily dispatch a mob of low-level {{Mooks}} without even making any other attacks.
757-->''[[StatusBuff You were frightened, so you resorted to the most primitive of survival tactics.]]''
758* Happens occasionally in ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'':
759** ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'':
760*** Tink voids himself in anticipation of summoning Tyrant Overlord Zenon.
761*** An encounter in the Item World has the player ending up in a bonus room full of cockatrices to initiate a fight. The cockatrice the player talks to claims to wet his feathers in surprise.
762*** During Laharl's anime-rific cutscene, Taro pees down his leg in fearsome awe.
763** Several characters soil themselves at the mere mention of Tyrant Overlord Baal in ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice''.

767*** Before the battle of Ostagar, Alistair and the PlayerCharacter are sent to go ready a signal fire. If you ask Duncan what you should do if [[BigBad the archdemon]] appears on the battlefield, Alistair quips "We soil our drawers, that's what."
768*** If you run into a dragon, Zevran may say "I, I may have just browned my drawers, no? Phew! [[MirthlessLaughter Ha, ha]]..."
769** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'':
770*** Viscount Dumar sums up the escalating racial / religious tension with the Qunari thusly, "I'm preparing for the worst. The very worst. This may require absorbent linens."
771*** Also if you bring Isabela on the "Haunted" companion quest at Bartrand's estate, "I ''really'' should have visited the privy before coming here."
772* In ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'', the party is about to cross the unstable-looking Cabasa Bridge. Beat thinks he's going to wet himself. After they cross, Allegretto asks if he did, and Beat denies it nervously.
773* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', after the opening siege mission, one member of [=SeeD=] claims he wet himself on the battlefield.
774* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', in Sully and Stahl's [[RelationshipUpgrade S support]], Stahl admits that he's so nervous at the prospect of asking Sully to marry him that he almost feels like soiling his pants.
775* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'': When you complete a custom night in Games 1 and 2, you [[spoiler: get fired]] for [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking "Tampering with the Animatronics. General Unprofessionalism.]] '''Odor'''."
776* Used as a joke by [[DeadpanSnarker Lt.-Cmd. Snipes]] in ''VideoGame/FreeSpace2'', during a recon mission far [[TrappedBehindEnemyLines behind enemy lines]] with only a very small time window before they get left behind by the rest of the Allied fleet. His wing of starfighters exits from the [[PortalNetwork subspace node]] the exact moment a Shivan [[TheJuggernaut Sathanas-class Juggernaut]] accelerates to full speed to enter it.
777-->'''Snipes:''' That was a little too close. Now we gotta wait 15 minutes before we can change our shorts.
778* Mr. Zero, the announcer of the ''VideoGame/FZero'' series, offers interviews with the racers after completing a grand prix in ''VideoGame/FZeroGX''. When he talks with evil or otherwise intimidating characters, he's quaking in his boots, stumbling over his words, and otherwise making it very obvious that he just wants to get the heck out of Dodge.
779* In one cutscene of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity'', Tommy enters Rosenberg's office while the lawyer is asleep on the couch and slams the door hard enough to scare Rosenberg out of his sleep, followed by this line by the latter.
780-->'''Rosenberg:''' Aw jeez! I'm going to need new pants!
781** A mission in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony'' involves intimidating a man harassing Gay Tony by tossing him from a helicopter at high altitude, then skydiving out to catch him and carry him to the ground via parachute. When you release him on the ground, he staggers away with diarrhea streaming out of his shorts.
782* Face a foe in ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia'' who's a significant number of levels above you and Nep-Nep might start the fight by requesting a change of underwear.
783* In indie game ''Investigate This: Scarecrow'', female private investigator Hannah remarks that she needs a "change of undies" after crashing into the titular Scarecrow.
784* The aftermath of your first encounter with a Clicker in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' has Ellie mentioning that she shat her pants.
785* The cat toy in ''VideoGame/LittleInferno'' does this when it's set on fire. Producing a pile ''larger than the cat is''.
786* One of the things a classmate will say to you in ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' upon being rescued is, "Don't worry about the smell. I just shit myself."
787* The ending to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwXdvTf64Is background animation]] for the song ''VideoGame/{{maimai}}'' song "ULTRA SYNERGY MATRIX" features the protagonist, a bipedal cat-like humanoid who's just pacified a rampaging dinosaur-like monster, suddenly having to stop an incoming asteroid that threatens to destroy the city and then some. The monster gets the idea to roar at the protagonist, frightening him into pissing so hard he launches into the air [[spoiler:and crashes into the asteroid, destroying it in a HeroicSacrifice]].
788* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' -
789** "Be still, Mouse. You can change your pants in a moment." Comes after two OhCrap lines in quick succession, no less.
790** Admiral Han'Gerrel views one of his fellow admirals as such a coward that Han'Gerrel calls him "suit-wetter". They are quarians, and always clad in environmental suits.
791** The Citadel DLC of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' has this occur if one has Liara and Tali in their party while infiltrating the hijacked Normandy. In response to Liara asking "Are you ready?", Tali remarks that she has to use the bathroom... and [[{{Squick}} casually does so right then and there]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDJDkYBMaxw It can be seen here.]]
792* In ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor: Allied Assault'' at the end of the Norway campaign, "Scuttling the U-529", one of the escort ally soldiers quote, "I think I wet myself".
793* In ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorPacificAssault'', during the course of the "Flyboys" mission, your teammate Frank Minoso will mention he's "low on ammo, and needs to change his shorts".
794* A RunningGag in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series. Whenever a member of the Emmerich family shows up, expect them to wet themselves in fear at some point.
795** The first ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' has Otacon peeing his pants when confronted with an insane [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg ninja]]. This gets mentioned in the Tanker chapter of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'', where if you hide in a locker, Otacon will note that this is like when he and Snake first met, only reversed. Snake will then add, "Not unless I wet my pants."
796** Happens to Otacon's sister as well in ''Metal Gear Solid 2''. One of the elderly hostages in the Plant mission will also wet herself upon you mistaking her for Jennifer.
797** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' Sokolov -- though not an Emmerich, but still kind of a stand-in since he is resident scientist of the story -- wets himself when Ocelot decides to play RussianRoulette with him while juggling three pistols. Snake also does this while being tortured by [[PsychoElectro Colonel Volgin]], but only because the electrical surges caused him to lose bladder control.
798** This happens to Johnny Sasaki in every game he's been in. And if he doesn't crap his pants in a scene, he comes very close. Best example: ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', he shits his britches in the midst of a fight with Liquid's [[EliteMooks Haven Troopers]], much to the disgust of everyone else.
799** And in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' Otacon's father Huey wets himself when Skull Face pushes him down a flight of stairs. It definitely runs in the family.
800* Nekomew ends up [[PottyFailure wetting himself]] in the game ''VideoGame/NekomewsPottyTrouble'' when he gets scared by one of the nightmare monsters while [[PottyEmergency he's on his way to the bathroom]] [[NighttimeBathroomPhobia late at night]], followed by a JumpScare and a GameOver.
801* The Dragoon {{Sidequest}} in ''VideoGame/OgreBattle64'' has the player searching for a legendary dragon name the Grozz Nuy. In the process of finding it, the player must track down a series of equipment pieces, all of them take some investigation all over the game's world. Searching for the Dragoon's sword has the player locating a barkeep- a man who claims he saw the dragon, peed his pants, then passed out in the snow.
802* Case 3 of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'', when Phoenix had to confront [[spoiler:[[BrooklynRage Furio]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Tigre]]]] in court.
803-->'''Phoenix Wright:''' ''[gulp]'' Maybe I should have brought a diaper with me today.
804* In ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', a very stuck-up lecturer in the Sensorium is giving a rather uninformed and overall bad talk on the Blood War. One of the main character's possible responses to this is to literally scare the crap out of him.
805* Tagline for ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'': "Be prepared to soil your plants!"
806* Can't blame Derek Badger for doing this in ''VideoGame/{{Poacher}}'', when he's first introduced to the Barghest, a ten foot tall KillerRabbit and the first proper boss of the game. Still manages to be an UnfazedEveryman in spite of it.
807-->"I've just cacked me pants."
808* Some of the {{Mooks}} in ''VideoGame/{{The Punisher|THQ}}'' will say they've wet or soiled themselves after Castle [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill gruesomely kills]] a fellow Mook in front of them.

809* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'': When Captain Qwark first encountered the ameboids he immediately executed emergency response plan "number 2".
810-->'''Qwark:''' Hey! Wait just a minute.
811* After the CatScare -- [[spoiler: well, Mannequin Scare really]] -- in the upstairs bathroom from ''[[VideoGame/MysteryCaseFiles Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst]]'', you can click on the (disgusting) toilet, triggering a captioned comment from your character that suggests ''you've'' just invoked this trope:
812-->"No thanks, I just went."
813* Capcom's ''VideoGame/ShadowOfRome'': The player has the ability to scare opponents into peeing themselves. In fact, it's one of the game's side goals.
814* ''VideoGame/TheSims'' -
815** Sometimes happens to Sims when they see ghosts.
816** Vampires in ''VideoGame/TheSims2: Nightlife'' can also inflict this on other sims with the "bleh!" interaction.
817* Used several times during the ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' series:
818--> '''VideoGame/{{Space Quest I|The Sarien Encounter}} (after crash landing an escape pod):''' That is the seat. It may be slightly moist after that landing.
819* Since ''VideoGame/{{Stacking}}'' takes place in a world populated by Russian matroyshka dolls, scared people leave behind sawdust.
820* In the beginning of ''VideoGame/TonyHawksUnderground'' ''2'', the skaters are kidnapped and taken to a dark room by two guys in hockey masks (really Tony and Bam), the guy in the hockey mask (Bam) attempts to cut Eric Sparrow with a chainsaw. Eric screams in terror and is revealed to have pissed and shat himself at the same time.
821* In the Death Knight starting area in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', one of the enemies you face, the Scarlet Peasant, will sometimes on being attacked say "ungh... I... I think I pooped..."
822* Early on in ''VisualNovel/YourTurnToDie'', Kanna Kizuchi ends up wetting herself. Understandable, considering that she had just witnessed ''[[spoiler:[[CruelAndUnusualDeath a man get his head burned off.]]]]''
823[[/folder]]
824
825[[folder:Web Animation]]
826* ''WebAnimation/DrHavocsDiary'': In Episode 13, it's revealed that a lot of Ally Havoc's dates piss themselves thanks to [[BoyfriendBlockingDad you-know-who]] on their tails.
827* ''WebAnimation/EtraChanSawIt'': [[https://youtu.be/mFm5nD6Mh9k?feature=shared&t=849 Hiiragi]] wets his pants when a {{Yakuza}} gang confronts him and Akamatsu for forcing Kuroki to meet them.
828* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': A group of characters are riding on a school bus around a perilous cliff. Petunia the skunk has been drinking a lot of cherry juice and [[PottyEmergency needs to visit the washroom]]. Chaos ensues, and soon the bus is headed for the edge of a cliff. Petunia puddles the floor (the puddle is strangely coming '''out of her feet''' rather than her crotch), then later [[spoiler:dies]].
829* ''WebAnimation/AnimatedInanimateBattle'': Has the pilot episode with the character Leek, having a hard time relieving himself from behind a bush. He finally goes when Frisbee throws a javelin at Hailstone.
830* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
831** In the WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail "[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE79TheProcess the process]]", Strong Bad urges "the faint of heart or the faint of butt" to leave the room before he explains [[FauxToGuide how to write a Strong Bad Email]].
832** Happens to Coach Z in an Easter egg in "[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE150AlternateUniverse alternate universe]]", after he and Homestar Runner somehow end up in [[Series/TwinPeaks the Black Lodge]].

837* Dada from ''Animation/{{Pucca}}'' pees himself on almost all episodes (or just every one), leaving a nasty yellow puddle behind. He pees himself every time he gets scared or tense, than happens to be every time anyone confronts him, or even talks or looks at him...
838* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
839** In ''Revelation'' episode 19, after [[spoiler:the Reds and Blues crash-land a Pelican in Avalanche]]:

841** In the previous season, [[spoiler:Epsilon!]]Church is [[spoiler:in a Monitor body]], and he tries to figure out how to use his [[spoiler:laser face]]. Tucker and Caboose give him suggestions about emotions causing the [[spoiler:laser]] to activate, leading to the use of a variation of this trope.
842--->'''Tucker:''' Maybe mad makes a red laser, and depressed makes a blue laser.\
843'''Caboose:''' Well, I hope we don't find out what makes a brown laser...
844** In "Last Words", Doc sits in an out-of-control jeep. When it finally stops, he tells the others that the seat will need a thorough cleaning.

846* ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'': Yahtzee refers to the game ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' as being "almost unmatched as a constipation aid."

863* In ''Webcomic/DeadWinter'', this [[http://deadwinter.cc/page/262 happens]] to a soldier when he's almost crushed between the van he fired at and the wall behind him. Bonus points for the advertising billboard nearby: "That was a close shave!"

867* ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'':
868** Eastwood wets himself when the gang is stuck in the CollapsingLair of his ArchNemesis Morth. It mostly seems to have been used to lighten the mood of what would otherwise be a genuinely serious, sombre scene.
869** Morth himself, after he finally became a daemon prince, only to be cornered by the greater daemon of War whom he royally cheesed off not an hour ago:
870--->'''Morth''': Hm... I think I'm learning a lesson about ''[[SuicidalOverconfidence hubris]]''. ''And'' about the waste functions of my new anatomy.

882'''Yeagar:''' If "ominous" means "something that makes you need to change your shorts", then I've learned a new word today.
883* Gabe from ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/10/26/ wets himself]] when Tycho sneaks up on him while he's playing [[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]. Gabe tries to pass it off as a spilled drink.

886* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=696 it's mentioned]] (though not shown) to have happened to Marten, though as he puts it, "'''''You''''' try being used as a human shield by a scimitar-wielding monk and see how well your bladder holds up!"
887** [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2089 Randy]] makes Yelling Bird shit himself with fear.
888* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': Howard Tayler has a lot of fun with this gag. He's used it probably several ''dozen'' times since the beginning of the strip.
889** In the three strips starting [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20090505.html here]], this gag is set-up and used. With a bit of a CallBack to [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-10-03 this strip]] from almost nine years earlier.
890** Again [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20090524.html here!]]

907[[/folder]]
908
909[[folder:Web Original]]
910* Lupis from the rebooted ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'' Furtopia RP wets himself out of fear several times. Luckily, he spends a fair portion of the RP in diapers. {{Justified|Trope}} by the fact that he is four years old and not fully toilet trained.

Then he starts crying and running around screaming throughout the forest, eventually shouting out that "Craig Hoyle will rape you and wear your skin as a coat!"
933** Tabi Gweneth similarly wets herself (and passes out) soon after waking up on the island...notably, she still doesn't realize that she is in fact on Survival of the Fittest. Possibly a natural reaction to being threatened with an umbrella, but it still makes you wonder about her every-day life.
934* Discussed in ''Website/{{Springhole}}'' when an article on children in fiction describes a common, yet unrealistic, plot device of kids being unafraid of situations that would make adults "wet their pants in terror".
935* ''Literature/TailsSeries'':
936** Rast Racklyn in ''Literature/TailsOfFame'' wets his pants after Douglas nearly kills him in chapter 4.
937** ''Literature/TailsOfTheBountyHunter'' has an anthro pissing himself after Rellis Rottili puts a pistol in his mouth and pulls the trigger, only to reveal afterwards that the gun is empty. Later on, [[spoiler:Stollar craps his pants during a stressful gunfight in chapter 16]].

947* ''WebVideo/CriticalRoleCampaignThree'': The GuestStarPartyMember Bor'Dor is a hapless shepherd who finds himself [[KidnappedByTheCall teleported across the continent and granted magic]], so his standard reaction to danger is to scream, [[StressVomit vomit]], and/or urinate.

952* ''WebVideo/{{Freelancers}}'': In "Karate", during a masked Devin's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of the similarly masked boys, whom she [[MistakenIdentity mistakes]] as the people [[BerserkButton who messed up her Scooter]], she is particularly ruthless with Owen, who lost "full control" during the attack.
953-->'''Owen:''' Full control Devin! ''I LOST FULL CONTROL!'' That alleyway is a health hazard now!
954* Happens in ''[[WebVideo/HighRollers2016 High Rollers]]''. Cam's reaction to the group theorizing that they're either dealing with a reawakened god or a powerful magician that has made the AncientTomb they're in his new stomping ground, is to piss himself.
955* ''WebVideo/TheHire''. An obnoxious celebrity forces her way into the [[NoNameGiven Driver's]] car and demands he take her to the venue. At first he drives very slow to piss her off, then DrivesLikeCrazy, tossing her about in the seat like a pinball. By the time she gets dumped at the feet of a horde of paparazzi, she's got an embarrassing stain around her crotch. This is implied to be a result of spilling the coffee mug she was holding between her legs at the start, but that's NotWhatItLooksLike.
956* [[http://jalopnik.com/what-its-like-to-drive-a-tank-1786958096 After driving a tank]] in the series "Jason Drives", Jason comments:
957-->[to the tank's owner] Seriously, that was a lot of fun. And I'm more covered in mud that I usually am at these shoots.\
958[to camera] It's fine, though, because it hides the other stains.
959* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic does it during the "Top 11 Nostalgic Mind Fucks" countdown, then again in the "Top 11 Nostalgia Critic Fuck-Ups" countdown, when the Critic wets himself when the Banshee from ''Darby O'Gill and the Little People'' is brought up.

993-->'''Jake:''' Scared you, didn't I?\
994'''Fu Dog:''' Nah, I'm always this damp.
995* A very rare instance where the character doesn't wet themselves occurred in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' cartoon "The Girl With The Googily Goop", when Wakko has to go to the bathroom after being scared by the scenery in the cartoon. Dot says that in the kind of cartoon they're in (a cartoon where inanimate objects come to life a la old Disney cartoons), the toilet comes to them. However, [[spoiler: the toilet says that he is "going to Flushing", and a fire hydrant agrees with him. Dogs then run them over, and they forget about it.]] This could have been a BigLippedAlligatorMoment.
996** Before "The Girl With The Googily Goop", the same thing happened in "Hello Nice Warners". When Mr. Director sees a scary monster in an ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' spoof, he says he has to use the bathroom, but before we can see the outcome, [[spoiler: he uses a rope to lasso the monster and rocks fall on him instead.]]

1001* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'':
1002** Uncle Ruckus is mopping a hospital floor when he's suddenly confronted by three gun-toting thugs demanding to know where Gangstalicious is. Ruckus' (surprisingly even-toned) reply: "Could you repeat that again? I couldn't hear you over the sound of me shitting myself."
1003** Ed Wuncler III claims in the first episode that, after shitting himself over a dozen times in Iraq, and running out of toilet paper and having to use his thumb after the second time, he was nicknamed "Stinkbomb" and no longer taken on patrol for fear of the stench alerting enemies.
1004* In the ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego'' episode "The Opera in the Outback Caper", right after the rocket launch is aborted with 2 seconds left, Ivy remarks "Number 2? I just did that in my pants!"
1005* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/TheCasagrandes'' episode "Fails from the Crypt". Ronnie Anne and her friends camp out in a cemetery and Sameer notes that he's brought extra undies, later saying that he needed to change them. When they camp out a second time, Sameer brings many pairs of undies and Laird even [[GooGooGetup wears diapers]]. During a chase scene, Sameer is shown repeatedly changing his undies, but at the end of the episode it's revealed that (with the exception of Laird, who was never shown having to change his diaper anyway) everyone was only pretending to be afraid, meaning that this time at least, Sameer didn't really have an accident.
