Context PlayingWith / NoDeadBodyPoops

Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': Dead characters do not void their bowels at death.
2* '''Straight''': Jasmine has ADeathInTheLimelight, and no excretory matter is released from her body during or after her death.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Jasmine doesn't even release so much as one last puff of carbon dioxide.
4* '''Downplayed''': Jasmine does not void her bowels, but some other characters do when they die.
5* '''Justified''':
6** If NobodyPoops while they're alive, why start now?
7** Jasmine used the bathroom before she died.
8** Jasmine had been fasting or otherwise not eating before she died.
9* '''Inverted''':
10** [[CleanPrettyChildbirth Alice gives birth, and the birth is clean and quick, and Alice does not defecate while pushing the baby out]].
11** Jasmine explicitly voids her bowels when she dies.
12* '''Subverted''':
13** A mention is made of corpses excreting all manner of waste.
14** Jasmine [[BringMyBrownPants soils herself]] in her final confrontation with [[BigBad Evil the boss]].
15* '''Double Subverted''':
16** But no dead bodies are ever seen doing so.
17** But that was ''before'' she got killed, not post-mortem.
18* '''Parodied''':
19** ''This'' is when Jasmine's BottomlessBladder runs out.
20** Jasmine requests prune juice and Prune Bran cereal before her execution, so she can do a final TakeThat at the society that put her on death row.
21* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
22* '''Averted''':
23** Jasmine urinates and defecates when she dies.
24** [[NeverSayDie No characters ever die.]]
25* '''Enforced''':
26** "Let's keep the NauseaFuel to a minimum, OK?"
27** ArtisticLicenseBiology, as applied to the digestive and urinary tracts.
28** It's not really important to acknowledge that people tend to experience PottyFailure when they die, so it's just not included. Besides, [[MoodWhiplash suddenly stating]] that a character urinated/defecated themselves after a dramatic death would probably add some [[{{Narm}} unintentional]] ToiletHumor.
29* '''Lampshaded''': "Don't dead bodies usually poop?"
30* '''Invoked''': Jasmine makes sure to use the toilet before facing the BigBad, just in case she dies.
31* '''Exploited''': ???
32* '''Defied''': Jasmine makes sure ''not'' to use the toilet before facing the BigBad.
33* '''Discussed''': "Use the bathroom before the FinalBattle, just in case you get killed. You wouldn't want to leave a [[{{Pun}} shitty corpse]], now would you?"
34* '''Conversed''': "Death on TV usually isn't so clean."
35* '''Played for Laughs''': ToiletHumor
36* '''Played for Drama''': A character who witnesses this has a ContemplateOurNavels moment at the irony.
