"It's not the mean and nasty monster under my bed or the deep dismal dark or a loud thunderstorm that scares me the most. It's those days when you've got a real potty emergency-you've just got to go, and there's no place to go".
—Wakko Warner, describing the "Fear of No Bathroom" card from the Animaniacs trading card game.

Bubbles: I promise!
—Bubbles & Boomer discussing the inevitable need to go to the bathroom in the last chapter of the The Powerpuff Girls (1998) fan fiction entitled Not All Good Things Last.
Bubbles: I need to go pee! I made myself have to go!
Boomer: Why'd you do that for?
Bubbles: I was only using the bathroom idea as a suggestion, now I need to go! Hurry, Boomer, before I whiz my pants! I've been potty trained for ten years!
Boomer: Ten-so you had a bed wetting problem until you were six?
Bubbles: Not funny, Boomer! I really need to go! I can't hold it!
Boomer: It's in your mind! You only think you need to go!
Bubbles: Just find that key, stupid and it's not all in my head! I have to pee so bad that my back teeth are starting to swim!
Boomer: Hey, that's funny! Good joke, Bubbles!
Bubbles: I need to go, Boomer!
Boomer: You should've gone before we left. Where's that damn key?!
Bubbles: I didn't have to go then!
Boomer: Just hold it until I find the key.
Bubbles: I can't hold it!

Min Joo-hwa: So where's the toilet around here?
Shin Mi-rae's daughter: It's outside. Take the key.
Min Joo-hwa: Uh... how utterly backward. Where's the key?
Shin mi-rae: Here. (holds it out of her reach) Just try to reach it. Or potty dance, if you can't.
Min Joo-hwa: (squirms) How immature of you... why would you possibly want to do this to a proper lady like me?
Shin mi-rae: Because I am immature, that's why. There are no other toilets around here. Everywhere else is closed. Your dignity, and your skirt, is at my mercy.
Min Joo-hwa: Uh...come on, give it... not in that way...
Shin Mi-rae: Why do you look so uncomfortable? You know how power is a great thing. Abusing it even more so...
Min Joo-hwa: I...I won't let you get away with this...once I've used the toilet...
Shin Mi-rae: You've already not let me get away with this. Might as well go all the way.

"Heck, we know you've been there before. At a park, at a concert or at a stadium with your family and friends... eating food, enjoying drinks and having an absolutely GREAT time with everyone. But then, uh oh, what's that gurgle in your tummy and pressure in your behind? Oh no! You gotta go potty and you gotta go potty RIGHT NOW! And if you don't, well, look out because you're about to have an accident from all that food and all those drinks!
But now you realize that there are a LOT of people around and only a few port-a-potties available for EVERYONE there. What to do, what to do. Should you use one of the port-a-potties that everyone else is waiting for... or should you use that handicap port-a-potty right in front of you without a line? Hmm... decisions, decisions.
...And make sure to look out for anyone suffering from Potty Panic (blinking in red), as they are moving faster than everyone else and they have to go potty RIGHT NOW with NO MORE WAITING AVAILABLE!"

One morning at the Big Blue House, Bear and Tutter were playing a friendly game of checkers.
"So, Tutter, have you figured out your next move?" Bear asked.
"I don't know Bear, I don't know." Tutter said, squirming. "Sometimes it's just so hard to think!"
Bear was worried. He could tell that Tutter had to go to the bathroom.
"Tutter, if you have to go to the bathroom, it's okay." Bear said.
"But I don't want to, Bear! I'm winning! I'm winning!" Tutter squeaked, dancing from side to side.
"You know, if you ever have to go to the bathroom, you should, even if you're in the middle of doing something or having fun." Bear said.
"But what about our game?" Tutter asked.
"The game will still be here when you come back, and you'll still be winning." Bear told his friend. "I'll be glad to wait for you."
"Great, Bear." Tutter squeaked. "Because I really have to go!"
Tutter jumped up from the table and rushed off to his mouse hole.

"I'm in the supermarket, trying to remember what groceries Mum wanted me to pick up, but I can't think. I can't breathe. I can't do anything. I'm busting. And I don't mean busting. I mean BUSTING! I've got to find a toilet. Fast. Then I can come back and think about the shopping with a clear head. Or not so much a clear head as an empty bladder."

Rine: Then, let me say this.
