History Main / BurpingContest

* [[TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]] had one with [[TheCritic Jay Sherman]] in their crossover episode. In fact the only other person who can come close to Jay's skill is author Eudora Welty.

* It happens in the first live action ''ScoobyDoo'' movie, between Shaggy and Scooby.

* A regular tenet of the annual {{Nickelodeon}} Kids' Choice Awards is the celebrity burp-off, which is exactly what it sounds like. Winners have included Cameron Diaz, Hugh Jackman, and the penguins from ''{{Madagascar}}''.

** Not a burping contest. In certain cultures, burping after the meal means you apreciated it, and NOT urping is unpolite.
** A similar incident happens in ''Film/IndianaJonesTheTempleOfDoom''.

->''You win again, you magnificent beast!''

* One of the [[HilariousOuttakes "outtakes"]] from [[{{Pixar}} Pixar's]] ''{{A Bugs Life}}'' had [[FunnyForeigner Tuck and Roll]] (the pillbugs) interrupting a scene to have themselves a [[BurpingContest burping contest]].

* Kuzco has one with a manatee in ''TheEmperorsNewSchool'', followed by a conversation with an angry Malina that mirror's Homer's and Marge's above.

* Korra and Bolin get into one on their date in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', much to the horror of the other patrons in the restaurant. Korra seems to come out on top.

* One occurs between Klein and Calvin in ''[[Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]''

* In ''TotalDramaIsland'', when Chris splits the teams up into guys vs. girls, the guys bond over one of these at their cabin. The winning burp, Geoff's, is so loud that it actually singes the fur off some squirrels hanging around outside. In a similar, albeit non-contest related, incident in the hour-long special that followed the first season, Izzy tries to teach Eva how to burp loudly. She chugs some soda and eats ninety-five marshmallows, then belches so powerfully she causes a tidal wave in a nearby pool. [[GeekyTurnOn Owen thinks that's really hot.]]

* An episode of ''{{Alf}}'' had the title character inviting a blind friend of his over to dinner. He then challenges her to a game of "guess the belch". Alf belches, and his friend chastises him with a cry of "Alf!" He, {{completely missing the point}}, replies with, "No, no! You don't guess ''who'' belched, you guess ''what they ate!''"

Basically, a BurpingContest is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what it sounds like]]. It happens in fiction, but clearly this is inspired by that timeless party game, most popular amongst the frat boy demographic but enjoyed by many children and adults around the world. Even you. (Yeah, ''you''. Drop the innocent act; there's no pretending to be highbrow at TVTropes). This is a favored activity of the {{Gasshole}}, even if the person they challenge doesn't accept.

Since belching (recreational or otherwise) is stereotypically a [[BeautyIsNeverTarnished male activity]], a good burp-off is a common way to show that a female character is {{one of the boys}}.

* Octus (as Newton) and Meat have one in ''SymBionicTitan''.

** Parodied, as was the film itself, in the ''FamilyGuy'' episode "Wasted Talent".

* Kuzco has one with a manatee in ''TheEmperorsNewSchool''.

** Then there's this bit of dialouge after Homer becomes an artist (something that has always been Marge's dream.)
