9Any time hilarity ensues because someone without experience is taking care of a baby, you can expect the writers to bring out the horrible and dreaded act of TheDiaperChange for [[VulgarHumor quick and easy]] ToiletHumour. This is frequently taken one step further when the child in question is a boy, since the infant will frequently "open fire" on his caretaker mid-way through.

11TruthInTelevision, as anyone with any significant experience in caring for babies will confirm. Hardly exclusive to boys in real life, [[note]]Girls can pee upwards and in any direction, too.[[/note]] but in fiction it's only ever really brought up with them since they're the ones with a... um... [[UnusualEuphemism spout.]]

20* There was a horrifying commercial by Huggies, (what else) a diaper brand that showed a father taking his baby into a bedroom to change him. That baby "opens fire" all over the ceiling but the stream stops instantly when the diaper is closed.

24* An episode of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' during the "Eiru and An" arc featured Mamoru caring for a baby named Manami. An got this when she tried changing Manami's diaper.

25* ''Koharu Biyori'': Yui of this ecchi series has this happen to her while babysitting. Worse, the accident causes a short in the RobotGirl's system that deletes all the baby care information she had downloaded specifically for the task.

29* In a filler episode of ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'', perpetual sycophant Stoffel tries to win points with Yuuri by helping him to change the diaper of a baby that he and Wolfram have been tasked with looking after. Since Stoffel makes for a delightfully unsympathetic [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]], this trope naturally ensues.
30* In an episode of ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'', Kuromi gets peed on by Baku's young baby sister, Bako.
31* The ''Anime/BeastWarsNeo'' episode "Attack! Randy" has the Predacons attempt to kidnap a mammalian alien baby and use the child as leverage to force the Maximals to surrender the Angolmois capsule found on the baby's home planet.

42* In ''Film/ThreeMenAndABaby''. (Although it was with a baby girl in this case.) Don't use your expensive leather couch as a place to change diapers.
43* In ''Fatso''. A flashback to the amply-contoured Domenico’s childhood shows the boy getting whizzed on by baby bro Francesco during a diaper change, much to his shock and disgust.
44* In ''Film/RidingInCarsWithBoys'' the main character gets it right in the mouth as she struggles to care for her newborn son. As she rants and raves and brushes her teeth her mother laughs and goes to finish the change for her.
45* At the beginning of ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'', the Chosen One pees in [[strike: Master Pain's]] Betty's face as a baby, in self defense.
46* Tim's infant son Alvey from ''Film/SonOfTheMask'' has so much urine it seems like he's doing it on purpose. And since he has special powers, being conceived while Tim was wearing the mask, he probably is.

48* In the middle of ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' movie, [[spoiler:when the Stooges disguise themselves as nurses in order to kill a man,]] the Stooges are forced to change a bunch of diapers inside of a nursery, ultimately turning this trope into a slight subverted ([[{{NauseaFuel}} and rather disturbing]]) variation of their infamous PieInTheFace gag.

66* Subverted and later played straight in the ''{{Series/Dinosaurs}}'' episode "Nature Calls". At one point, it looks like Baby Sinclair is peeing on his dad Earl while he changes his diaper, but it turns out that Baby was just playing with a water pistol. At the end of the episode, Baby wakes up his father in the middle of the night to inform him that he's ready to begin potty-training, and the subsequent dialogue implies that Earl is trying to teach Baby to pee standing up.
67-->'''Earl''': Now, imagine there's a fire and you are the fire captain. No. No. No. I'm not the fire! The fire's over there!
68* A favorite theme on ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos''.

73* Series/TheLoneGunmen find themselves caring for a baby, and none of the three have a clue about baby care, with the predictable result during a diaper change.
74* ''Series/GoodLuckCharlie'':
75** In "Baby Come Back", baby girl Charlie is mixed up with a baby boy. The kids babysitting her manage to switch her back, but are ultimately busted when none of them can explain the pee stains in the living room. Earlier in the episode, we get this:
76-->'''Teddy:''' (panicked) PJ?
77-->'''PJ:''' What?
78-->'''Teddy:''' You brought home the wrong baby!
79-->'''PJ:''' What? I did not!
80-->'''Teddy:''' Look, wrong parts!
81-->(baby emits projectile urine in PJ's face)
82-->'''Gabe:''' There's nothing wrong with ''those'' parts!
83** In "Teddy and the Bambino", Teddy changes Toby's diaper when she has to look after him. As if the odor causing Victor to faint [[FromBadToWorse isn't bad enough]], Toby also pees on him.
84* In one ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' episode, Piper changes a baby's diaper and she freezes time to dodge the urine stream.

89* In the Season 3 episode, Blue Christmas, of ''Series/{{Ally McBeal}}'', Elaine finds an abandoned baby boy and wants to adopt him. The boy tinkles in the eyes of many of those from her office. It made [[MediumAwareness Elaine]] [[GenreSavvy invent protective goggles]].
90* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'': The gender of baby Jamie was an ongoing secret -- until peeing in face happened, and Hal responded "Nice try, mister!"
91* Shown in a {{Flashback}} on ''Series/MyNameIsEarl''. Apparently, Earl started irritating his father ''very'' early in life. Unlike most examples, rather than hitting Carl in the face (while Kay changed baby Earl), the stream hit his blueberry crumble dessert.
92* ''Series/MastersOfSex'': A young nanny hired by Libby Masters to take care of baby John is well aware that this happens, and puts a cup over his penis when she changes his diapers.
93* Happens in ''{{Series/Bones}}'' with baby Hank. Naturally a joke is made about him having good aim like his sniper dad.

106[[folder: Video Games]]
107* ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'':
108** Kiryu ends up on the receiving end of this in one of the side stories of ''VideoGame/Yakuza4'', when a baby mysteriously turns up at New Serena. Nobody there knows why it is crying, until Kiryu suggests that it may have a dirty diaper. When it falls on Kiryu to change the baby, he gets it in the face for his troubles.
109** Shows up again in ''VideoGame/Yakuza6'', except this time Kiryu is more on the ball, and parries the stream with a diaper and a fool-me-twice-shame-on-me-smile.

113* Happens to Rayne in [[http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080416 this]] ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'' strip. He does it himself in [[http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20101006 this]] one.
114* In ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', Fenton Fuscus is changing the [[SmellySkunk little skunks]]' diapers he and Lindesfarne are babysitting, causing him to practice his [[http://www.kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0930.html evasive skills, not against multiple rounds of urine, but terrible blasts of skunk spray!]]

121* In ''WebAnimation/DragonShortZ'' episode one, when [[BumblingDad Vegeta]] and [[SparedByTheAdaptation Nap]][[HiddenDepths pa]] have to change baby Trunks, the latter warns about this trope. It does Vegeta no good...especially since Trunks pees a full-on beam that blasts Vegeta into the stratosphere ([[CallBack exactly like when]] [[Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedE10 Goku blasted him with the Kaioken x4 Kamehameha]]).

124[[folder: Western Animation]]

126* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' movie "Fairly Odd-Baby", where after the baby's gender is speculated over the entire story, Timmy realizes the baby is a boy when a stream of water shoots up between in the middle of a diaper change... "because boys love [[WaterGunsAndBalloons water guns]]!"
127* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Stewie Griffin has peed on people on purpose more than once. In one CutawayGag, he opens fire after Peter accidentally sprinkles paprika instead of talcum powder on him during a diaper change.
128* ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'': Downplayed in "Daddy (Dad for a Week)" when Andy is changing a baby’s soiled diaper. Before he can change him, the baby pees, but thankfully no one gets hit.

132* Tip for the first-time parent or inexperienced babysitter: if you need to change a diaper (especially on a male infant) do ''not'' have your face right over the baby (in fact, keeping something over the relevant body parts is a good move).
