* As pictured in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' this happens whenever Bender is frightened and he literally shits bricks. Or when he eats chips with Olestra in them (Olestra is a food additive falsely rumored to cause loose stools). Something of a RunningGag.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek the Third}}'', Gingy deposits a little gumdrop when he faces the palace guards.
** And on ''Shrek Forever After'', a goose spooked by Shrek lays an egg.
** In the special ''Scared Shrekless'', Gingy poops out jellybeans during the scarily revised Duloc song.

* A terrified BLU Spy drops an entire cinderblock after he upsets a RED Heavy by stabbing his Medic in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivy7tvc2fyQ this]] ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' animation by [[Machinima/TheGModIdiotBox Das Bo Schitt]]. Due to ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s style, the breeze block is notably wider in some dimensions than the Spy is.
* ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'': In "Mario Commits Tax Fraud", Yoshi, upon seeing [[TheDreaded Hal Monitor]] easily dispatch Beeg Yoshi with ease, releases about 30 eggs from his butt, signaling that [[ThisIsGonnaSuck he know he's not going to get away easily]].

A [[ComedyTropes Comedy Trope]] that also functions as a sort of Tension Breaker, in which a character is so shocked or surprised that [[BringMyBrownPants they lose complete control of their bowels]]. Of course we don't actually see this happen, we instead get [[StockVisualMetaphors a quirky little visual metaphor]] to let us know what they mean.

Bricks, due to the phrases "to shit bricks" and "to brick it," are especially popular.

* A trailer for [[VideoGame/LegoStarWars Lego Star Wars III]] features a cocky clone clone trooper showing off his blaster skills to the camera, until the [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Zillo Beast]] comes on screen and he unceremoniously drops a pair of Lego bricks.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': In "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheFortuneteller The Fortuneteller]]," a platypus-bear is in the middle of attacking a traveller, but when Appa roars from behind it, it lays an egg and hightails it out of there. [[{{Squick}} Then a hungry Sokka picks picks up the egg and sniffs it.]]

** In "Bloom & Gloom," Apple Bloom scares the family rooster off the windowsill, [[AnimalGenderBender causing it to]] [[MisterSeahorse lay an egg.]] [[spoiler:Given the later reveal that [[AllJustADream she was still dreaming]], this actually comes off as some subtle {{foreshadowing}} that she's not back in reality yet.]]

* In the vampire comedy ''Eat Local'' (2017), a chicken lays an egg after a vampire snarls at it.

* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'': In one ''ComicStrip/USAcres'', Orson [[ItMakesSenseInContext hypnotizes a bull into thinking he's a chicken.]] The bull promptly makes himself at home in the hen house, prompting Roy to quip, "If he lays an egg, I'm getting out of here."

* From ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'': [[ComicStrip/USAcres "If he lays an egg, I'm out of here!"]]

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', (The Fortuneteller) a scared Platypus-bear spontaneously lays an egg. [[{{Squick}} Then a hungry Sokka picks it up and sniffs it.]]
** Later he get so angry, he loses hold of the egg and it lands on his head. That's sort of a FridgeLogic way of [[CrossesTheLineTwice crossing the line twice.]]

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Grand Maester Pycelle remarks in a meeting that ZombieMountain is an abomination and should be killed. He turns to see the creature standing right behind him and we hear a very loud fart come from Pycelle.
