Basic Trope: Someone is scared and they poop out something that isn't poop.

  • Straight: When the Monster of the Week pops up, Alice poops out a brick.
  • Exaggerated: She somehow poops out an entire house.
  • Downplayed: She poops out a handful of gravel
  • Justified:
    • Alice had swallowed a brick whole earlier.
    • Alice has a brick shoved in her rectum.
  • Inverted:
    • When Alice is scared, she coughs up or vomits a brick.
    • She poops the brick when she's not scared.
    • She eats a brick when she's scared.
    • This happens with peeing and Alice pees out liquid nitrogen.
    • Alice sucks bricks in through her butt.
  • Subverted: A brick falls out of Alice's pants, but it turns out she had it in there for another reason and didn't poop it out.
  • Double Subverted:
    • She was lying.
    • Then when the monster starts chasing her, she really does poop out a brick.
    • Then, Bob poops out a brick.
  • Parodied: Alice poops out a large, heavy mobile phone.
  • Zig-Zagged: Alice appears to poop out a brick, but it turns out she was carrying it in her pants ... however, she's acting awkward ... because she stole the brick. Then, a brick falls out of Bob's pants and it's unknown whether or not he pooped it out.
  • Averted:
  • Enforced:
  • Lampshaded: "I thought 'shitting bricks' was just an expression!"
  • Invoked: Alice swallows something whole to see if she will poop it out.
  • Exploited:
    • They use the brick Alice poops out as a weapon.
    • They can Spot the Imposter because in this universe, only a certain type of Shapeshifting aliens poop out bricks.
  • Defied: Alice doesn't eat anything abnormal, so she can't poop out something abnormal.
  • Discussed: "And I actually pooped out a brick!"
  • Conversed: "Ow, it must have hurt that character pooping out the brick."
  • Implied: A brick is seen under Alice and she looks embarrassed.
  • Played for Laughs: Toilet Humour
  • Played for Drama: Alice poops out a bottle of medicine that she stole and hide in her rectum so guards of respective territory could not find it, which drops on the ground and breaks, thus preventing Alice from curing the deadly disease of her younger daughter.
  • Played for Horror: Alice screams and cries out of pain while brick, emerging out of her body, rips her anus. Her tailbone gets injured, thus paralyzing her legs. Trying to crawl, crying in agony she dies out of blood loss from her injured butt.
  • Deconstructed: Pooping out the brick leads to Alice's anus being severely injured.
  • Reconstructed: Alice has a tough anus or gets it fixed sooner rather than later.
