"Now was that funny or just disgusting? I don't know, I'm asking."
Dog, Oh Yeah! Cartoons
Animated show that relies heavily on ugly animation, displeasing concepts and extreme close-ups of things such as hairy, warty green tongues, stink-line-laden sewage sandwiches, and toilets that haven't been cleaned in a long time.
Pioneered by John Kricfalusi with The Ren & Stimpy Show, this type of show dominated children's animation in the late 1990s. The animation house Klasky-Csupo and the studio Spumco specialized in animation of this style. Many of these clones failed to realize, however, that the success of Ren and Stimpy was also due to excellent writing, not just to the presence of icky, stinky things.
Examples
Anime and Manga
- Ippatsu Kikimusume, aka Miss Crisis Moment, is this trope in four-minute chunks. Kunyan survives each life-threatening situation by executing a preposterous escape plan that Crosses the Line Twice, often to the point of Nightmare Fuel. If you watch this, you will be grossed out. You will also learn physics. (Check one out on YouTube
 if you dare...)
- Kyoufu no Kyochan, a parody of "Obake no Q-taro" written by the comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto, the series is about a kid and his ugly critter (with a strange likeness with Butthead). You better not hurt the kid or Kyochan will grow arms on his head and feet on his mouth to rip off your guts ! Episode 1
- Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt features monsters themed around poop, vomit, boogers, breast milk, and semen.
- Volume 5 of Tactics. There's lots of shit. LITERALLY. There's even a scene where WE SEE CHILD KANTAROU TAKING A SHIT, AND WE SEE THE TURD COMING OUT OF HIS ASS. Was that even necessary?
- Earlier volumes of Pocket Monsters relied on this trope. The series has since lessened though, just becoming a Widget Series.
- There's a... charming series of shorts in Japan known "Burutabu-chan" AKA "Poop Genie". It's about, well, just read the title. Or watch it.
- Crayon Shin Chan
Comics
- Many of the comic strips featured in Mad Magazine.
- Like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO96uMTxGes
- Probably the most infamous of these was 'The Zit'. Drawn by Tom Bunk (go figure), it resulted in a lot of letters to the editor's desk.
- Its carried over to the cartoon version too.
Film
Literature
- A fictional example: Since the Nightside is inimical to the internet due to AI Being A Crapshoot and the prevalence of Haunted Technology, Rule34 applies to television. One particular show "The John Waters Celebrity Perversion Hour" has had John Taylor hiding behind the sofa like the Daleks were coming.
- The ''Barf-O-Rama'' series of children's paperbacks was based on this trope.
- Captain Underpants, a series where just about 95% of the characters, plots, and events have something to do with Toilet Humour.
- The Australian children's novel The Day My Bum Went Psycho (Butt in North America) and its sequels, Zombie Bums from Uranus, and Bumageddon: The Final Pongflict. The titles should be a dead giveaway.
Live-Action TV
- Jackass
- Silent Library
- Fear Factor, despite its name, is best known for having contestants eat things like live insects.
- I\'m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! was a Reality Show crossed with this.
- Kenny Vs Spenny rarely avoids this trope, particularly in the humiliation round.
- Laura en América: one episode of this show is infamous for this. Its name was "Lo haría todo por dinero" ("I'd do anything for the money"). People from the public was challenged to do the most disgusting things for money. Among the challenges there were: to stay naked in a bathtub with frogs (US$ 30), eat a whole habanero-like fruit (US$20), to kiss an unknown person (US$ 30), dress up like a baby and crawl (US$ 20). The most memorable part? Lick the armpits and feet of a bodybuilder who had not taken a shower in 48 hours.
- Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow nearly got banned for being so gross.
- Wonder Showzen.
- Dirty Jobs, at times.
- Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is what you get when you make a reduction of Grossout Show and cannabis. The 11-minute pan sauce that remains is...unique.
- Kids' show Round the Twist almost got banned for this, including ''inappropriate' material such as death, nudity (including references to genitalia), underwear, incest (Kissing Under the Influence), mild sex references, and relying on your typical gross-out humor staples.
- Double Dare, a game show built around getting Covered in Gunge.
Tabletop Games
- About the only example of a Tabletop RPG in this genre: Low Life, where among the playable races there are worms, roaches and walking piles of poo.
- FATAL most certainly falls under this category, intentionally or not. In no other Tabletop RPG will you have a need to calculate oriface sizes. Or has detailed rules for rape.
Video Games
- Boogerman.
- Postal 2 features plenty of pissing and vomiting. Three objectives actually require the player character to urinate.
- Limbo of the Lost. It's very surprising to find such a macabre game that, in only its first half-hour of gameplay, throws worms pulled out of ears and snot at you as integral parts of puzzle solving.
- Stupid Invaders, the gross moments are even nastier than Space Goofs
- The Binding of Isaac is very generous with this when not making Biblical references — giant mounds of poop are a common obstacle, there's a boss called Peep who spreads toxic urine everywhere, and pretty much anything involving Isaac's abusive mother is given a Gross-Up Close-Up.
- Earthworm Jim contain a level called "Snot A Problem!"
