Gasshole / Western Animation

Go To

  • Adventure Time:
    • Double Subverted with Gunter: In the Vignette Episode "Five Short Graybles" the Ice King falsely accuses him of stinky air, only to realize it was his own armpits. Later on, after the Ice King is done bathing and apologizes to Gunter, the latter gets comfortable under Ice King's arm... and cuts one.
    • Also, Starchie. If you squeeze him, he'll fart!
    • Jake has been known to be gassy from time to time, but mostly in the early seasons before Cerebus Syndrome set in.
  • The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: Hugh Neutron, Jimmy's dad
    • Jimmy's friend Carl is one. Not only was he used to fuel a burp-powered jet pack made by Jimmy, the episode in which Jimmy and co become superheroes ("The N-Men") makes him into "Belch Boy", who has sonic-blast burps.
    • Libby is implied to be a female variant who normally prefers to avoid burping. When she accidentally took the Belch Boy packet in The League of Villains, she initially couldn't control her burping at first, but then she quickly masters it, to the point she becomes better than Carl at using her powers, as she can burp on-cue instead of needing to drink seltzer or shake herself around to "charge up" first. Eventually, she invents a new dance with her burps.
  • American Dad!'s Stan Smith can become this from time to time.
    • Notable moments include the very first episode, where he tries to retort Hailey's jab against gun laws with a fart. In "License to Till", he farts while hugging Francine. In another episode, he proudly farts on her while the two are in bed. In "Honey, I'm Homeland", he lets out a silent fart while talking to his family. He also audibly farts out a wedgie in "Garbage Stan".
    • At one point, he eats an entire bag of Doritos and "shares" it with Hailey by burping loudly and blowing his burp in her face. Several episodes also indicate that he enjoys either the smell of his farts or the feeling of releasing them.
      Stan: "Sorry I took so long, I farted while pulling into the drive way and I just wanted to enjoy it for a while"
    • Roger would also be included in this category. At one point, he farts a lethal gas during the middle of the night, prompting the whole family to leave their residence and stay at a hotel for a week.
    • Francine can also be included. She once let out an enormous belch after chugging an entire liter of soda while extremely stoned. She also farted in bed in the episode "Stan Time", and in the episode "Of Ice and Men", she farts which unintentionally activates Stan's password recognizer to enter a hidden passageway in the house, and again in the same episode when she was confronted by Clifford asking for the same password.
      Clifford: Stop, maiden woman! No further shall ye venture without the password.
      [Francine farts]
      Clifford: Ugh! What in God's name is wrong with you?
      Francine: I thought that was the password.
      Clifford: It's not a word. It's a terrible, terrible abomination.
    • Stan once notices that she often lets out silent, yet non-smelling farts in the episode "Shallow Vows".
  • Animaniacs:
    • Wakko Warner was a Gasshole as well as an Extreme Omnivore and Big Eater. He once belched The Blue Danube in Symphony Hall, and was a general provider of dozens of burp jokes throughout the run of Animaniacs. His Symphony Hall performances, under his alter ego of "the Great Wakkorati", were always based on this and ended with him bowing and repeatedly declaring, "Excuse me!"
    • For one performance Wakko had lost his voice, so he had to make fart noises with his hands instead. However, the last note was played hands-free.
  • Pam from Archer has been shown to belch and fart a lot. She will belch openly, but when she farts it's usually while she's asleep. Archer himself also burps pretty often, and starting in Season 6 Cheryl has been seen letting out a burp or two when she gets really drunk.
  • Beast Wars:
    • Megatron uses a virus to turn Rhinox into one of these. It backfires. Literally.
    • In Season 2, Transmetal Cheetor seems to develop this whenever he's around energon. in "Bad Spark," he ends up emitting an energon fart and apologizes:
    Cheetor: My Transmetal bod's been soaking up so much energon I'm about to blast one off.
  • While Gene from Bob's Burgers isn't seen farting too often, he is a big fan of flatulence-based music. He has a set of farts programmed on his keyboard, and his segment on "The Frond Files" ends with a song about them. Alpha Bitch Tammy is also known to fart a lot, but unlike Gene she takes no pleasure in it and tries to deny it and/or blame it on others.
  • Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese:
    • Inverted. Boy is unable to burp even when he tries to, which causes him problems when he is challenged to a Burping Contest. He wins by cheating and having Girl hide in the bushes and burp for him while he mimes it.
    • In "Scoot or Be Scooted", while attempting to train Cat, Cheese tells her to relax. Cat relaxes too much and farts in Cheese's face.
    • "Scientifically Impossible" reveals that Girl's science teacher, Ms. Rodriguez, is surprisingly gassy.
  • Sisto from The Brak Show. In two of his only three appearances, he simply walks across the kitchen and farts halfway.
  • The ChalkZone episode "Rudus Tabootus" has Rudy visit a section of ChalkZone themed after Ancient Rome, where he is antagonized by a flatulent character named Odiferous.
  • The Cleveland Show:
    • In the episode "Gone with the Wind" Cleveland is given a literal fart card by his doctor.
    • Auntie Momma farts so much that it's actually part of her catchphrase.
  • Sam Goldman was briefly of the fart variety in the The Dating Guy episode "Ass Pocalypse Now". When she and VJ were coming back from Brazil because Sam went to get butt implants, she wondered why she wouldn't stop farting after her surgery; until she realizes that her butt is now huge because the doctor transferred all of VJ's stomach fat into hers, and now she had VJ's butt, which also seems to imply that VJ is gassy.
  • Dennis's baby sister Bea in Dennis and Gnasher. Dennis has been known to use her farts as a weapon.
  • Garby the Stegarbasaurus from Dinotrux, is part stegosaurus, part garbage truck, the latter half being what gives him his grosser attributes, such as expelling gas and excreting the rocks he eats as cubic bricks. He can even shoot them out of his backside with enough force that they can be used as an effective weapon.
  • D.N. Ace has Digby, who's a combination of a groundhog and a whoopee cushion. There's also the Great Bivalvo (a combination of an oyster and a fortune cookie) who can only speak when he's underwater. On land, he just makes burping noises.
  • Drawn Together has Toot Braunstein and Spanky Ham, who the latter was able to let one out for a good long minute. In the episode where he did that, Spanky gets upset when he learns that the in-universe Drawn Together show was panned, and realizes that his farts aren't funny as he thought they were. This lead to him quitting the show until he finds out that people loved him for that sort of thing, causing him to return.
  • Granma-ma from Duckman, who was in a vegetative state and could only communicate through farting.
  • Hector's stomach, Stomach, in Evil Con Carne.
  • Family Guy's Peter Griffin, the King of the Fart Joke. Not only does Peter use his farts at will (mostly to abuse Meg), but in a cutaway gag, he had a farting contest with Michael Moore and the two basically "created" music out of it. Peter's no slouch when it comes to burping either.
  • The titular character from Fleabag Monkeyface is one of both sides of the body.
  • Maurice the Maggot of Freaky Stories was continually farting. At one point he gets the "Maggot Flu", which is like the normal flu, except you also fart whenever you sneeze. That said, Larry the Cockroach was able to beat him at a fart-off.
  • The first episode of Garfield Originals is devoted to burping antics done by Garfield, Jon and Odie.
  • The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy:
    • Billy is guaranteed some approximation of three fart jokes and five burp jokes per scene he appears in.
    • In the episode "Tastes Like Chicken" Mandy proved herself quite the Gasshole as well (her belches cause minor earth tremors).
    • Wanda, a character that only appeared in the episode "Just the Two of Pus". She works as a psychic and a skin doctor. She is also very flatulent and makes the smoke effects for her psychic senses with her farts, which she does several times throughout the episode.
  • Kon Kujira from Grojband is accused by Trina of being a frequent farter in the show's pilot, but in the series proper, he's more often seen belching. One episode even had him impressed at hearing the loudness of a monster's burp and wonder what he could do with burps that powerful.
  • At least two villains from Grossology had this theme:
    • The first was recurring antagonist Fartor, who can only breathe methane thanks to one too many dutch ovens from his brother Gary (who could also qualify for this trope) as a kid. He can also weaponize his own flatulence. In one two-part episode, he forced Ty to undergo the same mutation he did, turning him into the evil Far-Ty.
    • The second was one-shot villain Basso Profundo, a disgraced opera star who could weaponize his own burps. He ended up defeated in a burping contest by Harvey Archer.
  • One episode of Iron Man: Armored Adventures has Pepper Potts claiming that she can recite the alphabet from A-Z and name the 50 states of America, all in one burp.
  • Jade acquires a belching habit in the Jackie Chan Adventures episode "Relics of Demons Past", although it's never brought up or referenced again. And when that belching comes in contact with the power of Wind Demon, those belches could rival hurricanes.
  • Dragon from Jane and the Dragon.
  • Beezy on Jimmy Two-Shoes often pulls of extremely powerful burps. As in powerful enough for him to produce enough wind to move a sailboat! One episode even had him burping fire as a Running Gag thanks to a new soda product he was drinking throughout the episode.
  • Johnny Test:
    • The title character has his signature "flaming power poots" under his superhero form, "Johnny X".
    • Dukey and his continuous farting with little concern for others.
    "That's a sign of happiness in many cultures ."
  • Justice League Action: In the episode Keeping Up With The Kryptonians, the heroine Supergirl lets out a loud, unladylike burp powerful enough to shake the farm she was in when eating blueberry pie. She then covers her mouth and mutters a "pardon me" with an embarrassed smile.
  • Stumpy the squirrel from Kaeloo. The problem gets even worse when he drinks soda.
  • Gonard from Kappa Mikey is also a constant source of gas-themed humor, featuring such gags as him accidentally blowing up a house with a fart. The same episode mentioned that medical science used the term "Gonard's Syndrome" to describe explosive flatulence. He has nothing on Mitsuki, however, whose own fart echoed throughout the galaxy after she accidentally ate some ice cream with novelty farting powder on it.
  • Burping Herbert the Burpasaur in the British children's TV series Kerwhizz.
  • Gunther from Kick Buttowski. Brad has been known to fart when he needs to (e.g. in a fight) and one episode revealed Kendall is one in private.
  • Kim Possible: One would think Kim's friend and sidekick Ron Stoppable, with his primarily Bueno Nacho-based diet, would be an absolute fart machine... but aside from a passing (no pun intended) reference in "Ron Millionare", you'd be wrong! Rufus, however, rips a horrendous one at least once!
    Kim: Hey, you don't tell him to cut out the gross stuff when I'm around.
    Ron: What's your point?
  • Skinnet from Legends of Chima. Though at least he apologises, almost every time...
  • The Legend of Korra:
    • Meelo. He even weaponizes it a few times.
    • Korra herself qualifies, being able to belch with so much gusto that Bolin's hair and collar are visibly blown around by it from a few feet away.
  • The Loud House:
    • Lincoln can let out a good fart, such as in "A Tale of Two Tables," "Space Invader," and "Roughin' It." He also knows how to let out a good burp as well.
    • Lori has a farting habit, but she usually does so when no one's around. She also refuses to admit she even has a farting problem and will blame her farts on anything.
    • Lynn is usually very flatulent and loves giving Dutch ovens (especially to Lincoln)... and for some reason likes receiving them as well. She's also shown burping the most often out of all of the sisters (tying with Lana).
    • As revealed by Lola in "Brawl in the Family", Lana often sleep-farts so loudly that it blocks the sound of snoring. Lana also burps as much as Lynn on the show as part of her enjoying being gross.
    • As shown in "Come Sale Away", Lola herself is apparently the best burper in the family, even winning the family Burping Contest and being quite proud of herself for it.
    • All ten brothers (the male counterparts of Lincoln's sisters) constantly burp and fart, and give Lincoln a Dutch Oven Loud House style in "One Of The Boys".
    • As shown in "Out on a Limo", all of the Loud siblings enjoy letting out a huge group belch after reciting the Burpin' Burger's anthem, which states that it's a part of the fun of eating there.
  • From The Mask: the Animated Series, Kablamous the Exploding Man (who's somehow able to inflate and explode himself repeatedly) is defeated when The Mask affixes a tap to him, causing him to deflate harmlessly every time he tries to inflate... turning him into what is essentially a perpetual farting machine. And the police hauled the gassy miscreant to jail... with clothespins on their noses!
  • The titular Power Trio from Mega Babies are a shining examples, especially Meg. In one episode she actually blew a hole in the Ozone Layer with her farts!
  • Coop from Megas XLR is as talented at belching as you would expect someone with his stature and limitless appetite to be. Hilariously, when tasked with giving "special training" to a team of Power Ranger/Voltron expies, the one he teaches how to belch loudly is the sole female member of the team.
  • Mr. Rude of The Mr. Men Show does this on occasion.
  • The Flea from ¡Mucha Lucha!. He farts more than anyone else and implements Fartillery numerous times as well. He burps often, too.
  • From Mysticons, in the episode "Heart of Gold", Piper outburps Emerald's brothers with a burp so powerful that when an earthquake coincidentally happens afterwards, she assumed she caused it.
  • Spike from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is prone to belching, as this is probably how he breathes fire.
  • The first episode of New Teen Titans is titled "Burp", and it has all the main characters burping throughout the episode, even having a burping contest. Even Raven, who dislikes stomach emissions, lets out a huge and loud belch, and it's extremely loud that is heard all around the city and chars her teammates.
  • Planet Sheen: Aseefa becomes this after losing her roove in "Feeling Roovy". A roove is an animal living in Aseefa's throat which enables her species to yodel. Without it, she belches constantly.
  • Planet Sketch: "Parping Ponies" is about a horse named Horace and his aunt Hortense trying to avoid the embarrassment that usually results from Horace's flatulence problem. Sometimes (but rarely) Hortense also has flatulence.
  • Buttercup of The Powerpuff Girls (2016) belches sometimes. Bubbles also farts often, especially in her sleep.
    • There was also the giant fart monster in "Reeking Havoc," which was manifested after everyone in Townsville ate the Professor's Chemical X-spiked chili.
  • The Ren & Stimpy Show:
    • Stimpy is very flatulent from time to time. When it happens in the infamous Son of Stimpy episode, he calls it his child because it came out of his butt. Given that it is Ren and Stimpy, the fart actually is sentient.note  Stimpy tries to fart a second time, in order to prove to Ren that it really happened. The first try is a dud, the second try isn't much better, and Ren starts to get impatient. So Stimpy tries a third time, teeth gritting and straining as hard as humanly possible. Stimpy's butt cheeks swell up then suddenly go limp and deflate as Stimpy gasps in exhausted defeat. Ren then dismissively kicks at Stimpy's deflated butt cheeks.
    • Giant powerhouse superhero Powdered Toast Man is associated with his own brand of "powdered toast", which is made when he takes regular toast and releases a loud, long fart on it.
    • Don't think that Ren wasn't a Gasshole from time to time... he did make bubbles in the bubbles in the bathtub in a couple of episodes... and not with his mouth!
  • Rick and Morty:
    • Rick Sanchez frequently burps in the middle of his sentences, which seems to be due to the fact that he's constantly inebriated. It's also evidently genetic as his daughter Beth can do the same, something that his alternate dimension selves take pride in.
    • Summer manages to fart near the end of "The Rickchurian Mortydate". It's not very impressive, but Rick admits it was funny.
  • In The Ripping Friends the villain Citracet was granted super powers all revolved around farting, taking on the new name "Stinkybutt the Foul".
  • Robotboy: Gus Bachman-Turner. But he meets his match when Santa Claus (who is actually revealed to be extremely buff in that episode) presses his butt into an open present, lays a tremendous fart, and gives it to Gus. The stink burns Gus' eyes and leaves him smelling like Santa for months, which isn't nearly the punishment his present got, who had to take it head on.
  • Heffer of Rocko's Modern Life was mostly known for being a Big Eater, but he was sometimes pretty flatulent as well.
  • Samurai Jack has an episode titled "Jack and The Dragon" (called "Jack and the Farting Dragon" by fans). The episode is about a giant, powerful dragon who has brought a town to hell with his flatulence. Unlike most examples, the dragon wasn't doing this intentionally and persuades Jack to crawl inside him and stop whatever is causing him and the villagers so much harm.
  • The Simpsons:
    • Barney Gumble, whose distinctive belch is his Catchphrase, and soon became the belching sound effect on the show.
    • Homer, Bart and Maggie have been frequently seen burping from time to time.
    • "Beyond Blunderdome" began with the Simpsons visiting an electric car dealership. The saleslady asks them "Are you ready to say 'goodbye' to gas?", to which Bart replies "Sure am!", accompanied by a belch. Marge, aghast, is about to scold her son, but is interrupted by her own fart.
    "Well, that shut me up!"
    • Implied in the episode "Little Girl in the Big Ten" when Bart leaves the bubble he was forced to be quarantined in so that Lisa can pull a prank on Skinner to win back the other students. When he opens the bubble, Lisa is disgusted by the smell.
      Lisa: Eww! Bart!
      Bart: Wasn't me!
  • South Park:
    • There's Terrance and Philip, who act like farting machines. The entirety of their show is finding some way for one character to fart in the other's face.
    • Cartman's no slouch in the fart department, and neither is Randy Marsh.
    • In "Spontaneous Combustion", people stop holding in their farts in order to avoid spontaneously combusting. Liane farts on Stan and Kyle twice in the episode, much to the boys' dismay and Liane's amusement.
      Liane: I was just at the store buying some apples.
      Stan: Apples?
      Liane: Yes apples. [Farts]
      Liane: [Laughs] Apples! Get it? [the boys cover their noses again]
      Stan: Dude!
      Kyle: Sick!
      Liane: Stinky apples! See you boys [Proceeds to leave]
      Stan: I don't think I like this new law.
      Liane: [Pops back into view] Squeaker! [Sticks her butt out and lets out a squeaky fart on the boys]
  • Stinkie in The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper, and the movie it was based off of. His trademark move is a "smell-o-gram," where he burps out an awful stench to the unfortunate recipient.
  • Stōked:
    • Broseph, Reef and Fin are all belch variants.
      • Broseph, though, he doesn't burp as frequently as Reef or Fin, he can match Fin in power or at least come close. For example: in the final episode, he was in no condition to surf because of his upset stomach, but ends up winning the men's tournament anyway when said upset stomach causes him to burp powerfully enough to propel him backwards into a 1080, beating Reef's score of 9.5 with a perfect 10.
      • Reef is another contender for most frequent burper on the show, although unlike Fin or Broseph he's not winning any contests.
      • Fin doesn't do it too often, but she's the best burper on the show, and has possibly burped more frequently than anyone else (except for maybe Reef or Broseph) and after passing the "man tests" in season 2's 24th episode, Heartbreak Hotel (and said tests actually start with her chugging soda and belching), she celebrates by cutting loose with a burp powerful enough to blow Reef's and Broseph's hair & lips back, knock Johnny over and shake the room they were in. This is excellent foreshadowing of the plotline that Fin is One of the Boys to such an extent that even the guys find her too much to put up with. Even some of her weaker burps can still blow a person's hair back. Naturally, she's also seen having a Burping Contest with Johnny, Reef, and Lo in the episode "Brofinger". Also, in what may be an Actor Allusion, she has the same voice actress as Total Drama's Izzy, mentioned above.
    • Ripper is the only Gasshole on the show known for farting rather than burping, hence the Meaningful Nickname.
  • Yoshi in Super Mario World burped quite often including one that resulted in Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool sharing a parting laugh.
  • Teen Titans Go!: Literally all of the main Teen Titans, especially Beast Boy, are the source of most of the fart jokes in the series.
  • The ancient one from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) used a fart to alert some enemies of him and Leo's presence as part of Leo's training.
  • Pumbaa of The Lion King's quality is played for comic effect in the spin-off series, Timon & Pumbaa.
  • Tiny Toon Adventures: "The Horn Blows at Lunchtime'' pitted Little Sneeser sequestered in an air vent doing his trumpet practice while eating limburger cheese. The sound of the trumpet (which sounds like breaking wind) and the permeating smell of the cheese has everyone in the cafeteria accusing each other of the deed.
  • Total Drama:
    • Owen is perhaps the gassiest of all contestants on the show. He farts very often throughout his appearances, to the dismay of most of his fellow competitors. The very last competition of All-Stars has the eliminated contestants trapped in balloons inflated with his farts. In The Ridonculous Race, Noah created an "Owen Stink Scale" after spending so much time with him. He is also no stranger to burping quite a bit too.
    • Izzy's generally a Cloud Cuckoolander, but in the season one special "Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island", she not only lets out a very loud, deep belch, she is then shown burping so hard she creates a small tidal wave in the nearby pool. Owen is awestruck by the first, proclaiming Izzy to be a marshmallow goddess (she was eating 95 of them and washing them down with a soda at the time), but the second one makes him declare that he thinks he's in love with her.
    • Blainey can fart and burp at the same time with enough force to shake her bloated stomach, the room and even the camera to the point of breaking.
    • Sam in Total Drama All-Stars has farts that are strong enough to knock Gwen out as seen in "The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean".
    • Sky from Total Drama Pahkitew Island burps loudly whenever she is nervous, especially when around a guy she likes. She can also burp with great force, which she attributes to all her athletic training making her abs and diaphragm incredibly strong. Her act in the talent show is destroying wooden targets with her burps (including two at the same time, with Chris sitting between them and remaining unharmed), and claims that with enough carbonation in her she can extinguish a campfire. Interestingly, after being forced to chug a gallon of mineral water on a dare and getting a painful Balloon Belly from it, she only manages a pathetically weak burp, until the actual one come out when she’s about to kiss Dave.
    • Sugar, also from Pahkitew Island farts after falling on her face in the commercial for Darwin's Food Safari, which also happens to be part of her audition tape. She also burps often, typically after eating something, and when Sky says that she'll be burping in the talent show, Sugar comments that "Belching ain't a talent, it's a way of life!"
    • Ripper has a tendency to rip farts at the most unexpected times and places. His lifelong dream is breaking the record for the longest fart ever and even manages to tie the record in one episode. That said, Ripper himself states that he would never do it during a wedding or a funeral.
  • Dani Burns from Transformers: Rescue Bots can unleash screen-shaking burps on command with barely any effort.
  • The Venture Bros.: The Action Man from the original Team Venture is prone to flatulence at his advancing age.
  • The title character from Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? did this a lot in "embarrassment", whenever he was anywhere near Shannon, he LITERALLY blew it.
  • Yvon of the Yukon has the titular character, Yvon Ducharme, who not only never bathes, but also farts frequently. At one point, someone tried to use CPR on him, and the chest compression caused Yvon to fart, which caused his would be rescuer to pass out.
