16	Sentient feces. Living dung. Intelligent droppings. Basically, poo that's alive. Doesn't necessarily have to speak, as long as it's sentient. {{Anthropomorph\|ic Objects}}ised doodoo is generally for comedic purposes, but there are exceptions.
17
18	A subtrope of ToiletHumor and AnimateInanimateObject. Compare and contrast TalkingPest (a mascot for a product that's a member of the species the product is designed to wipe out).

24	[[folder:Advertising]]
25	* Mute but still capable of communicating: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDKWDkNLi9c Zingy animated icon]] used by British energy company EDF has often been likened, unfavourably, to a parasitical turd-monster. Embittered website ''Website/AdTurds'' has not been slow in likening it to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'''s Mr Hankey in its relentlessly cheerful disposition while - well, remaining a turd. The advertising agency has responded by making its colour a more orange-yellow rather than brown: but the current advertising depicting a very-large Zingy in the form of a hot-air balloon does make it look like a giant turd floating above British suburbia.

33	** ''Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters'' has Gomimon, who mostly resembles Garbagemon from the base ''Digimon'' franchise, but has a head that looks like this. When lit up by his Seven Codes orb, he's the same bright yellow color as Sukamon.
34	* The first enemy in ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' is a giant shit monster that can only say things related to crap, shit, bowels, and fecal matter.
35	* During the FreakyFridayFlip arc in ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', Hasegawa ends up becoming this when his soul is inexplicably transferred from Sadaharu into the pile of poop he had just left behind, though the talking is the only thing setting him apart from normal poop initially. Gintoki decides to give him back his glasses (Which have Yamazaki's soul in them), which somehow leads to him transforming into a fully anthropomorphic pile of poop towards the end of the arc, allowing him to help resolve the body-swapping issue once and for all. [[spoiler: In the end, everyone but Gintoki and Hijikata end up being transformed into anthropomorphic poop courtesy of Gengai's faulty invention...]]
36	* If Hong Kong cartoons count as anime, then Excreman from the [=McMug=]/[=McDull=] series.

42	* ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon'': While testing an invention that allows someone to take the form of whatever has touched, Filemón ends up transformed into a mosquito and, after falling into it, (a talking) dog poo. He's not happy at all.
43	* In ''ComicBook/{{Saga}}'', when Marko dumps the ship's waste on the planet Pervious, microbes in the soil turn it into Dung People that take the form of whoever shat them and try to kill whoever's nearby.

50	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
51	* ''Animation/DoggyPoo''. It's a Korean movie and is actually sort of [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/41WTB84H8ML._SL500.jpg cute.]] And it's not even PlayedForLaughs.
52	* The Mexican animated film ''[[Franchise/ElSantos El Santos Contra La Tetona Mendoza]]'' has Gamborino Ponx, who goes beyond this trope: He's a talking '''hemorrhoid!''' (And voiced by ''Creator/GuillermoDelToro'', no less)
53	* Poop from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie''. He's voiced by Creator/PatrickStewart.
54	[[/folder]]

58	* The AttackOfTheKillerWhatever movie ''Film/MonsTurd'' is about a serial killer who becomes mutated into a monster made of feces.
59	* The turd people from ''Film/FleshGordonMeetsTheCosmicCheerleaders''.
60	* ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' has the Golgothan Excremental, a.k.a. the Shit Demon. Supposedly made of the voided bowels of crucifixion victims.
61	* In ''Film/IBoughtAVampireMotorcycle'', the protagonist Noddy has a nightmare in which he is attacked by a talking turd with the face of his dead friend Buzzer.
62	* ''Film/TheABCsOfDeath'': In the "K" segment, an animated stool gets into a battle of wits with the woman who produced it, and who is now trying to flush it. [[spoiler:The stool winds up killing her.]]

80
81	[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
82	* In the un-Bowdlerized versions of Native American myths about [[TheTrickster Coyote]], he's assisted and advised by his three "sisters", which are actually his own droppings that talk. The cleaned-up versions depict them as talking ''berries'' that live in his stomach.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder: Stand-Up Comedy]]
86	* Creator/BillyConnolly got a whole routine about going to a public toilet, sometimes on a train or on an aircraft, with a queue of impatient would-be users building up outside, to have a piss - and then looking down and discovering ''somebody else's turd'' floating in the bowl. And worse, it ''refuses to flush''. Connolly vividly described the horror and the embarrassment of the Superturd sitting in the bowl, leering up at you and laughing, and every time you flush it refuses to go and taunts you with "Hey, Jimmy, is that the best ye can do?" and "Aren't you going to be embarrassed, Jimmy? Having to go out of here with me still in the bowl, and having to say ''honest, it isnae mine, it was there when I came in?'' "

89	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
90	* They not only appear in ''TabletopGame/LowLife'', they're a ''playable race''.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Toys]]
94	* Anthropomorphized plush toys [[http://www.peeandpoo.com/eng/flasheng.asp Pee and Poo]] have somehow gained quite a popularity...
95	* From ''Toys/TheTrashPack'', there are various Trashies made out of fecal matter, such as Poop Plop and Poop Monster.
96	* ''Toys/{{Shopkins}}'', of all franchises, has a small pile of pink or purple poop (depending on the blind bag found) with a small dog snout as part of its ''Happy Homes'' Petkins spin off. It comes with a small pooper scooper and shovel, also with the same dog snout.
97	* ''Toys/{{Tamagotchi}}'' has Lucky Unchi-Kun and Super Unchi-Kun, both are poop-like Tamagotchi characters. While they can't talk like other Tamagotchi characters, they can be raised or serve as often useful [=NPCs=].
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder:Video Games]]
101	* ''VideoGame/SeventySevenPEggwife'' has sentient, anthropomorphic, ''hostile'' feces as enemies. You first encounter them in the obligatory sewer level, before your antics caused the sewage to literally ''flood'' the whole place resulting in the living poop swarming everywhere. Yes, it's a disgusting game.
102	* One of the player ships in ''[[CuteEmUp Space Invaders '95: The Attack of Lunar Loonies!]]''
103	* The opera-singing [[BestBossEver Great Mighty Poo]] from ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''.

107	* Brownie from ''Super VideoGame/MeatBoy'' is made from Doctor Fetus's feces.
108	* The [[GoddamnedBats Turd Minions]] of ''VideoGame/RedneckRampage'', though they don't talk aside from incessantly squeaking "KER-PEE! KER-PEE!" and giggling. These little imps attack by [[DungFu shitting on their hands and throwing the turds at Leonard]] or [[SuicideAttack spinning in place until they explode]], neither of which is effective, though still pretty darn annoying. To make it worse, they're ubiquitous in [[DownTheDrain sewers and underwater sections]] in general.
109	* In ''VideoGame/{{Wattam}}'', the mouth can eat any food characters and turn them into anthropomorphic poops.
110	* VideoGame/{{Whiplash}} gives us a living glob of poop with eyes called The Master. He doesn't actually talk though.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Web Animation]]
114	* The ''WebAnimation/NapsterBad'' series features [=Nutty McShithead=], a human-shaped pile of excrement who is the spokesman of the recording industry, and is also one hell of a {{Gasshole}}.
115	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCQdGfDnfo8 this Brazilian animation]] revolves about [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext a cow randomly pooping and the poop coming to life after a two-headed calf tries to eat it]].
116	* In [=ZDoggMD=]'s "Medimoji" web animations, there is Dr. Crapindra Poomoji. He started off as a caricature of the ''other'' Dr. Damania, [=ZDoggMD=]'s father, and took on a life of his own. (Although (not surprisingly), Dr. Poomoji is a gastroenterologist instead of a PCP.) He is [[FunnyForeigner from Bangladesh]], and his family is very proud that he has a bidet. He is also the Medimoji that is most enthusiastic about his work, although sometimes he wishes he were matched to a larger hospital.
117	* Niño Surullo, from the Chilean webseries of the same name is an antropomorphic turd and the protagonist of the series.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Web Comics]]
121	* Crap Golems from ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' would probably count. Though being golems, they might only qualify as crap-based automata.
122	* In ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'', Schlock is often mistaken for this. Readers are advised to remember that he consists of a proteinaceous gel woven together by fullerene nerves; while from a distance this resembles the excretions of a very healthy horse, you, by the same token, are a structural bag of no-longer-potable water. Indeed, he has a cameo as one of the ''Erfworld'' Crap Golems.
123	* Dr. Doo Doo from ''Webcomic/AxeCop'', who is a MadScientist supervillain made out of talking poo.
124	* Played with in ''Webcomic/ZiggyPigAndSillySeal2022''; to prevent himself from being recognized during Ziggy's crime wave, Silly Seal spends most of the series dressed up in a Poop Emoji costume.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:Web Original]]
128	* For his review of the Odyssey console WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd needed someone to play against. He cloned the Nerdy Turd from his own excrement to provide an opponent. It doesn't "talk," per se, but it can make rude noises that clearly is supposed to almost, but not quite, sound like a language.
129	** Also James Rolfe's creation Shit Pickle who speaks more clearly, though [[PokemonSpeak all he can say is his name]].
130	** There's also the Bullshit Man, as seen in ''WebVideo/YouKnowWhatsBullshit''.
131	* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic briefly becomes an example of this at the end of his ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie'' review. "It's turned me into what the movie always was: a dirty piece of crap!"
132	* WebVideo/{{Enemil}} has Shit-Five (Mierdahinco), a living poop that represents a Spanish television channel infamous for plagiarizing other movies and series in his creations.
133	* The second episode of SurrealHorror StopMotion series ''WebVideo/MadGod'' has a city populated by [[FatBastard grotesque flabby monsters that do nothing but eat and shit all day]], but a machine turns their shit into {{golem}}-like "Shit-Men" who keep the city running. They don't actually talk, though, because [[SilenceIsGolden there is no dialogue]] in the series.
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Western Animation]]
137	* Mr. Hankey in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. A later episode also introduces his wife and children.
138	-->'''Cartman:''' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw you guys, I'm going home]]. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Talking poo is where I draw the line]].
139	** Also, according to the episode "More Crap": [[spoiler: Bono]].
140	* The obscure Creator/JohnKricfalusi character Nutty the Friendly Dump, best remembered for Kricfalusi's threat to sue the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' creators for allegedly stealing the idea as inspiration for Mr. Hankey.
141	** Also, the "star" of the ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Adult Party Cartoon'' episode "Stimpy's Pregnant". More like crying poo, but still portrayed as an animate object.
142	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', a minor character that appears sometimes in the background is a poop guy with limbs, though it never had a speaking role. He was nicknamed "Mr. Poop", but this name was never confirmed.
143	* ''WesternAnimation/AxeCop'' features "Doctor Doo Doo", a hyper-intelligent sentient shit dumped from a zombie who ate the brain of the smartest man on earth. He uses his RealityWarper powers (obtained by marrying the Queen of England) to create an army of likewise-intelligent poop soldiers. If it sounds like it was written by a prepubescent child, it's probably because it actually was.
144	* The Nickelodeon pilot, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqbJCv81T_k Charlie and Mr. Two]]'' about a dung beetle and his best friend who's a pile of dung, respectively. Naturally, all the other characters are disgusted by Mr. Two's presence.
145	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoysDiabolical'': In one short of the anthology series, the protagonist, Sky, after getting a taste of [[SuperSerum Compound V]], develops the superpower of bringing poop to life, which she uses to make turds into her friends.
