Toilet Humour / Western Animation

Go To


  • 6teen occasionally delves into this. The episode "Silent Butt Deadly" is an excellent example, with a major part of the plot revolving around Nikki doing Number 2 in Jonesy's bathroom only for the toilet to back up on her.
  • In Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, there's enough toilet humor to go around, considering that toilets themselves are the main method of transporation.
  • Much of the humor centered around Stinky Diver from Action League NOW! involves actual toilets; the opening credits sequence shows Stinky being flushed down a toilet, and the plot of "Stink or Swim" involves the League helping him overcome his fear of flushing toilets when he fails to rescue a recreational swimmer trapped in one. Also, in "Winds of Evil", Stinky's house is revealed to be a toilet, and his beach house is revealed to be a port-o-potty.
  • A common occurrence in The Adventures of Figaro Pho. Even the villains are prone to doing things like farting.
  • On Adventure Time, one could probably make a good Drinking Game from every reference to butts, farts, and the like. Also:
    Lumpy Space Princess: AAAAAGH!! I'M DYING!! (flushes toilet)
  • Animaniacs (1993):
    • Wakko Warner provides a lot of this kind of humor. "The Great Wakkorotti" sketches involve him burping classical music, and the plot of "Potty Emergency" involves him drinking too much soda at the movie theater and needing to find a restroom before he has an accident.
    • The episode "The Kid in the Lid" has a literal example where Yakko (as the Kid in the Lid) floods the toilet trying to bathe the kids' pet woodchuck. It gets into the streets, and the other kids in the neighbourhood play in the toilet water, as there was a Heat Wave happening at the time.
      Scooter: Kids came from all over to splash in the lake, not knowing the source was our potty break.
      Mary: They're swimming in water straight out of our toilet!
      Scooter: Think we should tell them?
      Yakko: Nah, that'd just spoil it.
  • The Angry Beavers has this from time to time, such as "Too Loose Latrine", which revolves around Daggett having a very bad Potty Emergency as a result of his own bathroom getting clogged and Nobert being too busy doing his hair to let him use his.
  • Happens in Arthur's Perfect Christmas. D.W. thinks that she sees Santa Claus in the bathroom (it's actually her and Arthur's Uncle Fred, wearing a red shirt and with shaving cream on his face) so she goes to get her parents. By the time she gets back, Fred has left the bathroom and Arthur has entered and is having a pee when Dad opens the door to check D.W.'s claim. This leads Arthur to exclaim "Can't a kid get any privacy around here?!" (The answer - no - he had to put with D.W. during his oatmeal bath for his chicken pox in "Arthur's Chicken Pox" also.)
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender:
    • In the episode "The Boy in the Iceberg", Aang comes out of the igloo that serves as the bathroom pulling up his pants claiming in a happy tone that EVERYTHING freezes in it.
    • In "The Winter Solstice Part 1", Sokka gets trapped in the Spirit World and 24 hours later after coming out desperately needing to use the bathroom.
    • Again in "The Fortuneteller", where Aang uses the "I have to use the bathroom" excuse to see what Katara and Aunt Wu are talking about. When he gets back Sokka states he had a good bathroom break. Aang proceeds to tell what he actually did but is stopped when Sokka says "I don't want to even know!"
    • Again in "The Avatar and Fire Lord", when the scene of the flashbacks cuts to a disturbed Sokka and Katara. The scene then shows Aang get up, face them, gets in a squatting position, grunts to relieve himself then SMILES. It cuts back to Katara and Sokka. Katara asks if there are any Bathrooms in the Spirit World but Sokka states there is none from his experience there back earlier in the series. Then it cuts back to Aang who is STILL smiling and STILL squatting.
  • The Batman: The Animated Series Christmas Episode "Holiday Knights" has Harvey Bullock point out that Clayface looks like feces by calling him "Frosty the Lawn Cigar", "lawn cigar" being slang for animal excrement left on the ground.
  • In "Michelle" from Beat Bugs, Michelle (secretly Kumi in disguise) tells the other Beat Bugs to come with her, oui, oui. Buzz tells her "thanks, but I already went."
  • Beavis and Butt-Head uses this as the basis for more than half the jokes. One episode, for example, revolved entirely around the pair being stupid enough to forget how to urinate.
  • Big City Greens:
    • In "Green Christmas", one of the places Bill puts a Christmas tree is in the bathroom toilet. Gramma asks Nancy to hold it while she goes, as "nature calls".
    • In "Gabriella's Fella", the reason Gabriella is in the convention center painting a mural was because the other week, she got on the intercom and yelled the word "dookie". Cricket also had a similar incident last month when he said the word "trash butt".
  • Bob's Burgers veers into toilet humor frequently, like a shopping cart with a bad wheel in the toilet humor aisle - perhaps to be expected with three school-age kids in the family. One episode, in fact, was all about son Gene befriending a high-tech toilet in a parody of E.T.
  • Bunsen Is a Beast:
    • "Beastern Standard Time" has Bunsen and Mikey complain about the Do-Not leaving behind "Do-Not droppings".
    • The plot of "Amanda Gets Schooled" revolves around a test called Preparatory Overview Of Pupils and features many jokes about the acronym spelling out "poop", such as Miss Flap stating that it's wise to open a window when taking a P.O.O.P. and the episode ending with Darcy singing that Amanda succeeded in passing her P.O.O.P.
  • Buzz Lightyear of Star Command had one moment where Team Lightyear was placed on speed trap duty as a result of a botched meeting with a group of aliens who resemble toilets. After Team Lightyear accidentally said some rather "sensitive" terms to the aliens, which were toilet-related puns, the meeting was ultimately botched when Booster had to use one of said toilet-aliens as the object they resembled in a bathroom emergency, as the other restrooms were closed for cleaning.
  • Cartoon Planet: During the song "I Love Beans", Brak refers to farting by saying, "Maybe 'cause I'm cuttin' muffins."
  • CatDog had a few bathroom jokes, a fair amount of them happening in "The Great Parent Mystery", which included a butt-shaped UFO landing on a rock formation shaped like a toilet and the fight between the McDogs and the Catfields featuring a dog who stands in front of a hose spraying water at an angle that makes it look like he is peeing.
  • The ChalkZone episode "The Big Loo" was about the main characters encountering a forest of musical toilets. Snap is also implied to relieve himself in one of the toilets off-screen.
  • The Chocolix: In "The Truffle Family Arrives at Chocoland", Max attempts to shove Big Truffle through an opening in a fence so that they can go get square eggs to replace the ones Sweetcookie broke. While he's doing so, Big Truffle passes gas, and the gas happens to reach Max's end, knocking him down.
  • This happens on Codename: Kids Next Door a few times (not just in episodes where the Toilenator is featured, mind you).
    • For example, in "Operation: B.R.I.E.F.S.", when the Delightful Children send a hitman named Mr. White (a living pair of underwear) after Number One, and it attacks him — and he's in the bathroom — his teamates mistakenly believe his screams mean he's constipated.
      (Numbuhs 3 through 5 stare at the door aghast at the situation)
      Numbuh Four: (shudders) Sounds like number 2.
      Numbuh Two: (having just shown up) But I'm right here guys...
      (later)
      Numbuh Five: Uh... You're doin' fine, boss... I'm sure you've got it in ya...
      Numbuh Three: Maybe he needs a magazine...
    • And it gets even worse when he rushes out of the door:
      Numbuh One: THIS UNDERWEAR IS TRYING TO KILL ME!!
      Numbuh Two: Oh, I know what you mean, mine rides up all the time, even the ones with the little rocket ships...
  • Cow and Chicken:
    • In the episode "Chicken in the Bathroom", Chicken is lying in the bathtub refusing to take a bath, while his parents need to pee.
    • "Me An' My Dog" has Cow try and fail to warn Chicken that he was about to step in some dog doo left by her imaginary dog Kevin.
  • On Creative Galaxy, in "A State of the Arty Sign," Captain Paper at one point jokingly suggests as they're trying to decide what type of paper to use for Arty's sign that Arty draw his sign on toilet paper.
  • The original Danger Mouse (1981-92) went through ten separate series without employing toilet humor (understandable for the first nine series as toilet humor had not permeated kidvid at the time). The 2015 reboot scuttles all that from the outset when Penfold—looking for a place to relieve himself—accidentally causes a sentient toilet named "Loo-cifer" to turn malevolent.
  • This is a huge chunk of the humor in The Day My Butt Went Psycho!, the Animated Adaptation of The Bum Trilogy. What did you expect from a show about sentient butts?
  • Dexter's Laboratory:
    • "Labels" has a gag where Dexter has to pee after drinking a jug of apple juice, only to find that Dee Dee already used her label maker to claim the toilet. We don't see exactly how Dexter resolved this, but it's implied later that he resorted to wizzing on the carpet.
    • "Critical Gas" is all about Dexter thinking he's going to die and finding out at the end that he just has gas after farting very loudly in front of his parents. He did eat an absolutely massive burrito, so...
  • Dinosaur Train: "Dinosaur Poop" is an episode about how everyone poops, even dinosaurs. Buddy and Tiny keep giggling at the word "poop."
  • Many of the jokes in Drawn Together rely on this. It was even used as a plot point on at least one occasion when Spanky left the show because critics thought his fart jokes detracted from the show.
  • DuckTales is not immune.
    • This exchange from "Robot Robbers":
    Babyface: We're number one! We're number one!
    Burger: I was gettin' tired of bein' treated like number two.
    • Similar to the above, "Horse Scents" has Scrooge comment on how "Number Two" is an appropriate number for Glomgold's horse.
  • Family Guy indulges in it frequently.
    • The episode "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High" gives us the following Opening Narration as a parody of Law & Order:
      "In the television comedy world, the people are entertained by two separate yet equally important types of shows: traditional sitcoms that get laughs out of everyday situations like trying to fix your own plumbing or inviting two dates at the same dance, and animated shows that make jokes about farting. This is the latter."
    • Peter Griffin himself indulges on toilet humor and goes into a laughing fit whenever someone just mentions doody or a variation of it. One example of this when Peter and Joe talk about jury duty:
      Joe: So you laughed when you heard there was fecal matter involved?
      Peter: Huh?
      Joe: Waste.
      Peter: What?
      Joe: Doody.
      Peter: Haha!
    • Lois in at least one episode of early season of the show wasn't immune to this trope either. She would go into a giggling fit when Peter said something dirty, but she slowly grew out of it. On the other hand in a more recent episode she actually had a fart scene (the only member of the family not to have one up to that point)
    • In the episode "The Splendid Source", Peter craps his pants every time anyone mentions the Orphaned Punchline of "the world's funniest dirty joke".
  • Fanboy and Chum Chum uses it quite often. Seeing how unserious this show is about itself, it indulges in some Self-Deprecation in the episode "Little Glop of Horrors".
    Fanboy: Hey Kyle! It's pizza day! Come play pizza monkeys with us!
    Kyle: You two are... pizza monkeys? What do you do, throw your poopparoni?
    [Fanboy and Chum Chum burst out with laughter]
    Kyle: [sighing] I'm witty day after day — and this is what they laugh at.
  • Fleabag Monkeyface is full of it, with the titular character frequently saving the day with bad breath and farts.
  • The Freakazoid! episode "Sewer or Later" is built around this.
  • In one episode of Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, ("It's in Nana's Room") they keep getting pooped on by a bird.
  • In the Hey Arnold! episode "Phoebe's Little Problem," Phoebe farts into a microphone. And in "Full Moon," Harold, Sid, and Stinky moon the principal.
  • Hotel Transylvania: The Series has some toilet humor.
    • A major plot point of the episode "Bad Friday" is that everyone at the hotel has assumed that a blood-curdling scream is the result of Mavis successfully scaring a human, when what really happened was that Mavis screamed in response to witnessing a diaper change.
    • In "Buggin' Out", it is mentioned that Hank uses Pedro's wrappings to wipe his butt and Mavis has the embarrassing secret of breaking wind in her coffin when no one is looking.
    • The episode "Phlegm Ball" revolves around a sport similar to basketball that uses a ball made of snot and has Hank and Pedro laughing at Mavis' cousin Klaus whenever he refers to his partner as his "number two".
  • Occurs from time to time in HouseBroken. For example, the first episode has Chief farting several times and another episode has a subplot about Honey accidentally pooping in the house.
  • I Am Weasel:
    • "Power of Odor" is essentially a big flatulence joke, where I.R. Baboon runs a farm of pigs who eat beans and ends up creating a stink that no one in town can stand.
    • In "I Am My Lifetime", a flashback to Weasel and Baboon's infancy shows I.R. accidentally putting on a soiled diaper and the end of the episode has the now elderly I.R. Baboon repeating that mistake.
  • Invader Zim employs this on occasion, especially in "Room With A Moose", which features Zim being very open about him going to the bathroom (it's really an excuse to conduct his evil plan, but still) and the mention of a wormhole filled with dookie, to name a few.
  • Jane and the Dragon: Some episodes have scenes where Dragon farts. Not to mention one episode had the characters playing dung wars.
  • While Jelly Jamm otherwise avoids this kind of humor, the first episode, "The Instant Gardener", features a scene where a dodo eats Mina's shrinking formula and then farts it onto a plant, causing it to decrease in size slightly.
  • The Jimmy Two-Shoes episode "The Big Drip" was actually been held over from airing on Disney XD in America because of this (the plot was abot Jimmy having a Potty Emergency). A bowdlerized version of the episode was eventually released, but it's still a pretty weird reason to not air an episode, considering that Jimmy Two-Shoes is a Sadist Show set in Hell with Black Comedy and cruel, often violent slapstick humour.
  • Johnny Test sometimes engages in this. The most obvious example of it is Johnny's superhero form Johnny X and his "Power Poots".
  • Justice League Action: In "Unleashed", Dex-Starr infiltrates the Watchtower in the guise of an ordinary housecat. A Running Gag about him being interrupted on the way to the litter box ends with him getting captured by Plastic Man, who had shape-shifted into a litter box to trap him.
  • In Kappa Mikey, there was the occasional fart/burp joke with Gonard. Also at the beginning of the episode, "Live LilyMu," Mitsuki accidentally eats ice cream with some prank farting powder on it and throughout the rest of the episode, she farts several times (though she tries to hold them in), much to the annoyance of the audience and the other cast members.
  • King of the Hill featured a fair number of toilet related scenes during its run, including:
    • In one episode, Hank and his buddies drive down to Mexico to buy some beer and by the time they get back home, all of them but Bill, who was forced into being a designated driver, have diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Hank and Boomhauer are shown rushing to the toilet, while Dale is shown trying to disarm a security device for his bathroom. Later on, during dinner, Peggy grows concerned with Hank, who isn't eating his hamburger, and follows him to the bathroom, where the audience can hear Hank having explosive diarrhea.
    • Buck Strickland is the character most associated with this trope. He is shown pooping multiple times at work, and in one episode, is implied to have a mini toilet in his office.
  • Kulipari: An Army of Frogs has this come up a few times, namely with Nogo:
    • Season 1 has Nogo rushing to take a huge dump in an outhouse, and Darel is forced to follow him inside so he can snag a pair of keys from him. Poor Darel doesn't get the keys until after Nogo finishes using the bathroom.
    • Season 2 has Nogo ripping a huge fart while he, Skink and Killara are walking up a staircase and sneaking through Lord Darkan's palace. When Skink asks where the noise came from, he shamelessly farts in front of her again to calm her nerves.
  • The Legend of Korra:
    • In the episode "The Voice in the Night" at one point Tenzin has to chase after his son Meelo, who has apparently decided that something at the fancy party they're at is a toilet. In fact, Meelo does this often, airbending his farts and claiming he has to poop at the worst times.
    • In The Aftermath when the butler opens the door Bolin is literally holding himself and says "Emergency, emergency coming through, beep beep!" WHILE running leaving a trail to the bathroom.
    • In "Out of the Past", Mako and Bolin are in a prison cell and Bolin is trying to relieve himself in the corner when the girls arrive. At the end of the scene Lin metalbends his fly because he forgot to zip up.
    • Varrick has a platapus bear costume that can "poop" money.
  • Characters from The Lion Guard, a spin-off of The Lion King, are said or shown to have elephant dung splattered on them. The memory of a well-respected elephant always being covered in it brings a chuckle to those in attendance at his funeral in the B-plot of "Can't Wait to Be Queen". At one point in "Fuli's New Family", Fuli ends up with elephant dung splattered on her shoulder. She thinks it's mud at first, until Ono tells her otherwise.
  • Little Princess has several Toilet Humour moments.
    • During "I Want a Best Friend", the Princess's baby brother messes his diaper, then farts.
    • In "I Want Baked Beans", the Princess says her baked beans look like rabbit poos.
    • In "I Want to Be Taller", the Princess tries to make herself taller with compost, and compost is later used to help grow the General's moustache in "I Can Keep a Secret".
    • In "I Want My Voice Back", the Princess tries to point to her potty, but due to having lost her voice, the General brings down a bucket, which she pees in.
  • Warner Bros. cartoons generally averted this, but probably has the earliest instances of toilet humor. 1938's "Porky's Badtime Story" (remade in 1944 as "Tick Tock Tuckered") has a leaky roof that deposits rain drops on the bed on which Porky and Gabby Goat (Daffy Duck in 1944) are sleeping. Gabby (Daffy) wakes up, sees the puddle between him and Porky and gives Porky a rather irritated look.
    • Similarly in "Daffy Duck Slept Here" (1946), Daffy (as Porky's roommate) drinks some water to cure his hiccups, falls asleep, and spills the rest of his water on the bed blanket. Porky wakes up and feels the wet spot, giving an "Oh, no he didn't!" look on his face before he touches Daffy's glass.
    • Towards the end of 1938's "The Sneezing Weasel," Dr. Quack administers castor oil to a baby chick (who had caught a cold earlier). He gives a crossed look and runs to the bathroom.
    • The 2003 short "Museum Scream" features a scene in which Sylvester gets stuck in a display about the digestive tract. Tweety activates it, resulting in Sylvester going through the entire works. After he emerges, Tweety says, "Are you okay, puddy tat? You look pooped!"
  • In The Loud House episode "Potty Mouth", when Lisa is asked to act like a one-year-old she poops her diaper (she was pretending to be Lily). There's also jokes throughout the series about dirty diapers, Lori farting, and occasionally Lisa studying poop and "No Guts, No Glori" has jokes about Cliff going outside the litter box.
  • MAD: Perhaps the most straightforward demonstration of the show's fondness for it was that the first segment of its first episode was titled "AVATURD".
  • Mega Babies. Pretty much every episode is FULL of toilet humor. Even the intro sequence shows the three protagonists literally making mountains of poop in their diapers!
  • Milly, Molly has Alf's dog, who's named Puddles because he pees on things.
  • Milo Murphy's Law:
    • One of the compliments Milo gives to Melissa's (dubious) courage in "Murphy's Lard" is praise for her "intestinal fortitude" (translation: not crapping herself out of fear).
    • In a Call-Back to "The Substitute", Diogee actually does pee on the pistachio plant in "Missing Milo".
    • The Pistachion leader in "Fungust Among Us" uses the phrase "Fertilize me."
  • Molly of Denali: In "Winter Champions," Molly's parents let her start an outhouse race on the grounds that she does not engage in "bathroom humor." note  The rule gets broken more than once, though not nearly as much as one would expect.
    Molly: Okay, I can roll with that. (holds up a toilet paper roll)
    Layla: We'll let that one slide.
  • My Gym Partner's a Monkey: Jake Spidermonkey (the eponymous "gym partner") talks about his butt a lot and in one episode, he mistakes a volcano project for an "exploding toilet".
  • My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has made several references to this particular biological function:
    • In "Winter Wrap Up", when Twilight Sparkle fails to make a decent bird's nest, Rarity tries to sugarcoat it by suggesting the birds can use it for something else — and Spike suggests, "An outhouse?"
    • In "Sweet and Elite", one of Rarity's excuses to switch parties is that she has to "use the little filly's room".
    • Most notably, "Baby Cakes" has diaper changing among the many responsibilities of babysitting... and judging from the stench lines, it's for that reason.
    • In "The Last Roundup", Pinkie Pie has a Potty Emergency after a long train ride and uses the outhouse after Applejack.
    • In "Apple Family Reunion", after Pinkie Pie drinks honey straight from a bee hive, she burps out a bee.
    • The Pinkie Pie's Playhouse Newborn Cuties playset has a toilet included. In the ad, the girl says "Uh oh! Pinkie Pie's gotta go!", then the camera shows her on the toilet, which plays music.
    • The bar is set early, when Twilight is reading a book on Perplexing Pony Plagues in hopes of finding more information on The Cutie Pox. Despite the names not even being close to each other in any alphabetical index, the two she reads aloud before finding the one she wants information on are:
      Twilight Sparkle: Hay fever... the trots...
    • Even earlier, in "Fair Weather Friends", Rainbow Dash utters "horse apples", and in "Bridle Gossip", Applejack says "pony feathers"; both are used as Hold Your Hippogriffs for Oh, Crap!.
  • The New Adventures of the Wonder Twins short "Joy Ride" ends with Zan transforming into fecal matter after exclaiming "Crap!"
  • The majority of Nina Needs to Go! is about a girl who needs to go to the bathroom.
  • PB&J Otter:
    • In "Watchbird Alert", Cap'n Crane: "And here's a hankie, in case you get a booger."...gets some giggles from Peanut and Butter from saying this.
    • "The Thing That Almost Ate Hoohaw" has a running gag with Flick getting a wedgie.
    • In "Three's a Crowd", Opal says she has to change a "poopy diaper."
    • In "Gizmotronictron Raffle"
      Munchy: What's a poop deck?
      Flick: Don't ask.
  • Peg + Cat:
    • The episode "The Potty Problem" focuses on a rambunctious alien Big Mouth needing to be potty trained because on his planet, everyone poops and pees where they are.
    • One scene inolving toilet paper features in "The Giant Problem".
    • In "The Butter Problem", Cat asks a cow squirming (actually because she needed to be milked) if she needed to go to the bathroom.
  • Phineas and Ferb has it every now and then, but one of the most notable examples is in "Tree to Get Ready", when Doofenschmirtz invents the "Poop-inator", a device that makes his army of pigeons crap on whatever target he wants them to.
    • During Jeremy the Tree's song in "Wizard of Odd", one line is sung by a bear reading a newspaper while sitting under a tree with his butt obscured. At the end, a bear is sitting suggestively next to a tree, saying, "Yes, yes I do." Evidently, even in Candace's dreams, bears do crap in the woods.
    • From "We Call It Maze":
    Buford: Oh for crying out loud! [quickly eats the jellybeans they are supposed to be estimating] There! Zero!
    Baljeet: [angrily] Okay, technically that is correct, but you did not show your work!
    Buford: I will in about 20 minutes! [rimshot]
  • The 1942 Popeye cartoon "You're A Sap, Mr. Jap" ends with the defeated Japanese boat having sunk and the Japan flag circling around to the sound of a toilet flushing.
  • Popples:
    • In the episode "Museum Peace", the Pufflings turn into a bird and drop an egg on one of the Popples. In case you don't know, this is a kid-friendly version of birds pooping on people's heads!
    • In the episode "The Jellybean Jamboree", Party uses a toilet plunger to grab a lollipop painting off the wall. Maybe she has a toilet in her pouch!
  • Pororo the Little Penguin:
    • In "Crong's Stomach Pain", Crong is told when to poop by a poo-poo fairy.
    • In "I Am Not a Bed-Wetter", Pororo and Crong wet the bed.
  • A good bit of toilet humor can be found on The Powerpuff Girls, most notably in the episode "Pee Pee G's," where one of the girls is presumed to be a bed-wetter.
  • Ready Jet Go! studiously avoids this kind of comedy, but "Earthday Birthday" has some. One of Jet's birthday badges makes a farting noise (and also emits skunk spray).
  • Regular Show gives us a literal example in "Country Club", which revolves around a country club owner who steals things and turns them into toilets.
  • Ren & Stimpy had plenty of toilet humor like every now and then Stimpy would fart. One episode dealt with Stimpy searching for his missing fart cloud, and in an Adult Party Cartoon one gag dealt with the fire chief's constipation and finally taking a huge dump and wiping himself with Stimpy's shirt.
  • Robot Chicken often dealt in this. Examples include "Heroes with Time Machines" (a man travels back in time to replace a Nazi propaganda film with footage of Hitler having a loud and violent bowel movement), "Dumplestiltskin" (a parody of The Twilight Zone (1959) in which a mythical creature "not of this world, but a user of its bathrooms" leaves a smoking crater where a toilet used to be), and a parody of the Racing the Train scene from Superman: The Movie, in which the Super-Speed is provided by a constant stream of farting.
  • In Rocko's Modern Life characters like Heffer and Spunky would often fart.
  • Rugrats (1991): Of course, given the age of the main characters, it's expected in each episode.
    • "Runaway Angelica":
    Chuckie [as it's starting to rain] We better get inside before we get wet.
    Phil: [patting his diaper] I'm already wet!
    Lil: [also patting her diaper] Me too!
    • The Tales from the Crib direct-to-video film "Three Jacks and a Beanstalk": In the film, the babies are cared for by an anthropomorphic cow named Aunt Moo, who feeds them with her own milk. Her udders, which are covered up by a flap on her overalls when not in use, suspiciously never show up onscreen when she milks herself and we never see them until she shoots milk in Angelica the Giant's face. After she squirts milk in Angelica's face, she even says something to the effect of "Be glad that's just milk".
  • Since 1969, Scooby-Doo has played it cozy and upon entering the scatalogically innundated 90s and new millenium, it had successfully shied away from toilet humor. Then Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated came along in 2010. Instances of such are in Episodes 11, 19, and 23.
    Shaggy: A couple of late night jalapeño stuffed clam poppers and it's another all-nighter on the porcelain—
    Scooby: (disdainfully) Shaggy! Please!
  • Seven Little Monsters:
    • In "Mystery of the Missing Five", the other six monsters believe they'll find their brother Five at the hospital under the reasoning that Four told Five he wished he wasn't born before Five went missing and babies are usually born in hospital, but the receptionist mishears them when they ask her where to find the babies. They end up resorting to acting like babies to try and get the receptionist to understand, with Six pretending that she's a baby who wet her diaper.
    • "A Monster's Best Friend" revolves around the seven monsters adopting a new puppy they name Freddy, only to later find that taking care of a puppy is more difficult than they anticipated. One thing that irritates them is that Freddy has a habit of leaving messes, with Three frequently being the one forced to clean up after Freddy. Even when the monsters take Mary's advice of paper-training Freddy, that effort fails when Freddy chooses to excrete on an area of the floor that isn't covered up with newspaper.
  • The Simpsons occasionally delves into this. For instance, a good chunk of the A-plot in "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson" is about Homer experiencing a Potty Emergency while waiting for his car to be unbooted.
  • In Smurfs: The Lost Village, when Brainy tries to impress the Smurfettes with his knowledge on the chalkboard, Hefty draws a little cloud on the chalkboard behind Brainy to suggest that he just passed gas.
  • South Park has heaps of it.
    • Terrence and Phillip's shtick is deliberately nothing but this - they were in fact created when Matt and Trey read a critics review stating how South Park was nothing more than badly animated characters telling fart-jokes for 20 minutes. They thought that sounded like a great idea.
    • In "Spontaneous Combustion," people are urged to stop holding in their farts so they don't combust and "More Crap" revolves around Randy Marsh trying to break the world record for taking the largest dump and the previous record holder was Bono.
    • In "You're Getting Old", everything turns to shit. Literally.
    • "Reverse Cowgirl" is toilet humor that actually focuses on the damn toilet.
    • One of the running gags of "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining" is Cartman's terrible diet giving him diarrhea, to the point that he farts constantly (at one point sharts his underwear) and has a live-action scene of his actor squatting over the side of the boat as a hose clearly resting between his legs sprays brown sludge. Mr. Hankey rescues them from boredom and brings the group home in his various vehicles made of magic feces.
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: Patrick has to pee!
    "Oh, that's real nice."
  • The humor in Squirrel Boy has a lot of butt jokes and close ups of a certain character's butt.
  • Star Wars Resistance: In "Secrets and Holograms", Torra tries to get out of her room by telling family droid 4D-M1N that her pet Buggles needs to go out or he'll have an accident, which causes the droid to note that the last time that happened, it was "disgusting". Then, when 4D catches Torra sneaking out because Buggles saw her, the droid is prevented from pursuing because Buggles then pees purple all over the floor, causing her to repeat her "disgusting" statement in the exact same robotic tone.
  • Steven Universe:
    • "Mirror Gem": Mayor Dewey makes a speech on the beach rife with bait for fart jokes. Steven and his new Magic Mirror are only too happy to oblige, leading to Dewey's irritation and a laughing audience. Lapis Lazuli, the Gem in said mirror, is in general far more willing to engage in Toilet Humour than you'd expect for a traumatized Deadpan Snarker like her.
    • "Catch and Release": Peridot is in Steven's toilet, so Amethyst tells Steven to pee in the ocean.
    • "Beta": One of the meep morps Peridot and Lapis show Steven and Amethyst is a bunch of toilets stacked together.
      Peridot: I call it "Occupied". It's a collaborative piece.
    • "Three Gems and a Baby": Amethyst makes a brief comment about her being a toilet for an unknown amount of time.
      Amethyst: But it's been so long, like, months! That's longer than I was a toilet!
  • The later seasons of Superjail! veer more into this than the first ten episodes (and pilot) did.
    • "Gay Wedding"'s climax features Jean and Paul being forced to reconcile by the staff — via having their sloppy joe sandwiches spiked with laxatives and the only two stalls they can use being neighboring ones.
    • "Ghosts" had evil spirits released into Superjail via the Warden farting them out of his unconscious body, as well as a sequence where the Warden is dragged through the sewers and explodes out of Jared's toilet (covering the bathroom in a mess that you'd expect).
    • "The Trouble with Triples" had the Twins wind up humiliated by their elder siblings by being fed to an alien creature that proceeded to messily defecate them out.
    • However, season 1 itself did have the throwaway gag in "Ladies' Night" that illustrated the Mistress' complaint about Superjail being a "stinky, dirty zoo": Several inmates are shown behaving like chimpanzees and throwing their own poop at each other.
    • Season 3 in general seemed to up the fart jokes and toilet humor, with one example even taking place during a fight in the bathroom stalls ("Stingstress"). "Superfail" and "Special Needs" also both had similar gags of Alice farting (and both were by the same writer), either from squeezing her legs around "Sweet Cheeks"' head or from the Warden squeezing her buttocks.
  • Teen Titans Go! has an episode called "Serious Business" where lots of jokes focus on the "pee pee dance" and the bathrooms are sentient.
  • Timon & Pumbaa, being a spinoff of The Lion King, has plenty of jokes involving Pumbaa's farts, to the point that at one point, they even sing about it!
  • Total Drama:
    • Owen is notorious for being the source of numerous fart jokes.
    • The spinoff Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race has it too but not to the same extent. Owen is back so he contributes most of it but MacArthur and Spud do some too.
  • In the Tuca & Bertie episode "Bird Mechanics", there is a Running Gag with a flamingo waitress who claims to "never shit". She undergoes Potty Failure at the end, however.
  • In Turbo F.A.S.T., the main characters originally agreed to the codename of Fast Action Racing Team, or F.A.R.T., complete with a fart noise, which caused them to change to Fast Action Stunt Team, or F.A.S.T.
  • Tuttle Twins:
    • In the first episode, we learn that Gabby went back in time to the French Revolution and borrowed a bidet from her dear friend, Frédéric Bastiat. What really makes this example work is that she confuses the bidet for a salad bowl, which she uses it for.
    • The lemonade that the twins kindly give to Karrine at the end of the first episode.
      Karrine: (nonchalantly takes the drink) Thanks. But it's warm.
      Ethan: Eh, whatcha gonna do?
    • In one episode, Grandma Gabby brings Queen Elizabeth I from the 16th century to show her self-flushing toilets. She's absolutely giddy over the "chamber pots" that empty themselves.
  • In Wabuu - the cheeky raccoon by Dingo Pictures, two birds are shitting the main character raccoon in the face to take revenge on him because he likes to prank the other animals.
  • The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald: The third video "Birthday World" has some potty jokes occur after Ronald and the gang are de-aged into toddlers and infants, including Sundae as a puppy putting a newspaper beneath himself after wondering if he's still housebroken, Sundae excusing himself after observing they're surrounded by bushes and grinning mischievously at what he just said (implying he intends to pee on the bushes) and Ronald's stressing the urgency of thwarting Professor Pinchworm's plan ending with him bringing up that Tika is on the verge of dirtying her diaper.
  • The Wander over Yonder episode "The Party Poopers" is eleven minutes filled with as many butt- and poop-based puns and double entendres as the writers could get away with. It starts with Wander and Sylvia visiting the "Hi-Nee" Council during a "full moon" and gets worse from there. Craig McCracken himself said "We wanted to try and make a cartoon filled with nothing but low brow and crass jokes, but do it in a way where you actually don’t see anything gross or disgusting."
  • Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? dabbled with this in two episodes.
    • "Embarrassment" has Robot Jones' nervousness cause his exhaust to malfunction whenever he tries to speak to his crush Shannon. Every time this happens, it looks like he is farting.
    • At one point in "Family Vacation", Robot Jones needs his oil changed. His need for an oil change is treated like him needing to use the bathroom and is eventually resolved when he runs into a bathroom stall and unleashes a big mess of oil, exiting with a relieved expression on his face.
