Basic Trope: Video game toilets can be flushed but are useless.
- Straight: In Danny's Adventures there are toilets and when clicked on they flush, but they are not needed.
- Exaggerated: There are whole bathrooms, and all the parts (toothbrushes, toilets, sinks, bath tubs, showers, toilet paper, and cabinets), are interactive, but all completely useless.
- Downplayed:
- The toilets can be used to unlock achievements or other minor things, but are not necessarily important for use.
- You can use the toilet to go to the bathroom if you want, but going to the bathroom is completely optional.
- Justified:
- The characters don't need to "go."
- It's in a showroom, fully functional it may be, but you have absolutely no privacy.
- Inverted: The game is about flushing the toilets.
- Subverted: One toilet gives you points or is needed.
- Double Subverted: It was not a real toilet.
- Parodied: Danny gets an overly long lecture from his wife for flushing the toilet too much and needlessly raising the water bill.
- Lampshaded: "What's the point of having toilets anyway?"
- Zig-Zagged: Some toilets are needed, some are not interactive, some can flush but are useless and some give you points.
- Averted: There are no toilets, the toilets are not interactive, or the toilets are useful.
- Enforced: "They'll need toilets of some kind, but they don't need to go just yet and everything else is interactive."
- Invoked: The game starts with regular citizens gaining powers, and one of them is a Bottomless Bladder.
- Exploited: The villain put the toilets there simply to distract Danny.
- Defied: As soon as it becomes known that Nobody Poops, all toilets are removed.
- Discussed: "I found a toilet, but I didn't see anybody using it."
- Conversed: "Why does this game have toilets anyway?"
- Played for Laughs: Whenever Danny flushes the toilet, his snarky companion says, "You're wasting time."
