In Real Life, sheep generally do not spontaneously combust, and if they did it would probably be a serious matter. This does not stop video games and other media from featuring exploding sheep for absurd comedy, because there's just something inherently silly about the idea having those placid woolly ruminants explode with a loud cry of "baa!". It's so prevalent that The Other Wiki used to have an article about it. Of course, different species, barnyard or otherwise, have been shown to explode as well, but for some reason, writers and designers just like their exploding sheep. Not to be confused with Bob-omb. See also Action Bomb. |

Clicking makes critters explode in StarCraft as well, in fact its a nuclear explosion, however it is just a visual effect without damage. All that said, there are no space sheep. | |

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando had the Sheepinator weapon which turned enemies into sheep. Use it enough and it will upgrade to the Black Sheepinator, which makes the sheep walk up to other enemies and explode. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-1874 is a Black Welsh Mountain sheep that explodes if it touches a non-sheep mammal. It's not immune to its own explosions, but after a few minutes, it reforms from the bits of gore left behind. SCP-4629 is a phenomenon that causes sheep to explode if they get prodded by a human more than a hundred times in less than three minutes. SCP-5033 is a Valais Blacknose sheep that explodes over and over when it gets stressed. It’s completely unharmed by the explosions, and goes back to normal once it feels relaxed. |

In World of Warcraft, people with engineering profession can make explosive mechanical sheep. Also, in the Undercity's Apothecarium, there is an underground section where with an area where people are held in cages, meant to be used as experiments of undeath. There is an Undead NPC who tests a "viscous fluid" upon one particular human male, which turns him into a rabbit, then a squirrel, and finally a sheep. Then, the NPC pokes the sheep repeatedly, and the sheep explodes. Hearthstone added "Explosive Sheep" as a minion card, dealing quite a lot of damage to all minions for its cost when it dies. And now we have the Explosive Decoy, a goddamned squirrel. Sleepblooms deliver their spores by "popping" on contact. This deals no damage but makes its victims fall asleep instead. The player deals with this by throwing rocks at them. |

Pokémon Sword and Shield has the rare but possible situation where a Wooloo can use Copycat and copy the last used move. Any move can be copied, and this can include moves like Self-Destruct or Explosion, especially in doubles battles, allowing you to blow up your adorable cartoon sheep in a bid to take down an enemy. | |

If you click one time too many on sheep (or other non-hostile critters) in Warcraft games, they explode. The third game even had a mini-game where you had to dodge exploding sheep running at you. Clicking makes critters explode in StarCraft as well, in fact its a nuclear explosion, however it is just a visual effect without damage. All that said, there are no space sheep. The icy planet tileset has something that looks like a tauntaun. Close enough. |

On an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, his character, the psychic Carnac the Magnificent, predicts "Sis boom bah!" as the answer to a card sealed in an envelope (one of his signature tricks). As seen above, the card refers to "the sound made when a sheep explodes". The resulting riotous laughter from Carson, his co-host Ed McMahon, and the audience stopped the show cold for a good minute. | |
