A Comedy Trope that also functions as a sort of Tension Breaker, in which a character is so shocked or surprised that they lose complete control of their bowels. Of course we don't actually see this happen, we instead get a quirky little visual metaphor to let us know what they mean. Bricks, due to the phrases "to shit bricks" and "to brick it", are especially popular. When the joke goes the other way, then it's an Ass Shove. Related to Potty Emergency (and especially its subtrope, Potty Failure). For a less vulgar case of characters being so shocked that they drop things that aren't visual metaphors for the contents of their bowels, see Dramatic Drop. |

In its sequel, Finding Dory, Hank also inks himself when he's touched by a child in the touch pool. This isn't presented as humorous at all as he Hates Being Touched and was suffering a PTSD-related panic attack. | |

Finding Nemo: Nemo's classmate, Pearl the octopus, "inks" near the beginning of the film when scared by a classmate. Her father also does it near the end when he sees a shark. This is accurate to real life ink-producing mollusks, who responds to dangerous or stressful situations by using ink as cover/an irritant while they swim away. In its sequel, Finding Dory, Hank also inks himself when he's touched by a child in the touch pool. This isn't presented as humorous at all as he Hates Being Touched and was suffering a PTSD-related panic attack. |

A cartoon from The Far Side showed a spider dropping silk after a fright. (This comic was originally rejected by the syndicate, according to Gary Larson, but the editor liked it and hung it up in his office; later it was pressed into service to fill a gap.) | |

It's simply the main function of the waste disposal robot in The Smurfs comic book story "Can't Smurf Progress": he eats garbage and he turns them into bricks which he ejects from his rear hatch. Surprisingly, he doesn't poop bricks when he sees that the queen companion Handy Smurf made for him when he became King Trash fell apart and a swarm of termites came out of her. | |

In the opening credits of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, the traveling circus troupe perform their water show in the presence of a large crowd. One of the skits involves the clown (actually the eponymous Pokémon Ranger working undercover), wearing a Sharpedo costume, "gobbling" up some Pokémon and ejecting them from "the other side". | |

In Monsters, Inc.: After nearly being discovered by Randall in the bathroom, we see a huge splash in the stall Sully, Mike, and Boo are hiding in. Boo sums it up best. Subverted in the next scene, when we see an up-close shot of Mike's legs completely soaked, implying that he slipped and fell in, with Boo still understanding how gross that was. |

In We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, Elsa claims that when she first tried a hot dog, she was so mesmerized she "laid an egg." Her embarrassment of the feat makes it similar to soiling oneself. It gets awkward later when she claims she feels like "laying an egg" when she looks at Rex romantically. Or maybe she means something else by laying an egg... |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "The Fortuneteller," a platypus-bear is in the middle of attacking a traveller, but when Appa roars from behind it, it lays an egg and hightails it out of there. Then a hungry Sokka picks up the egg and sniffs it. Later, he gets so angry, he loses hold of the egg and it lands on his head. That's sort of a Fridge Logic way of Crossing the Line Twice. |

In one episode of Gintama, Kondo, the Shinsengumi Chief had a marriage match up(with a gorilla of all things), and he had a... Potty Emergency. So he politely wanted to step out and go to the bathroom. The gorilla didn't understand what he wanted, and followed him. On his way there, he ran into Gintoki and gang. This happened.

The Fairly OddParents!: In one episode, Timmy's dad becomes an astronaut. Built into their spacesuits is a compartment that you can go to the bathroom through. When you go about your business, it makes a beeping sound. When a monkey is told that he has to go on a mission all by himself, his spacesuit makes the beeping noise. Another had Adam West playing the Crimson Chin in a movie. The director (secretly the Bronze Kneecap) makes some changes in the movie to make the Chin seem more pathetic and embarassing like dressing him in a sailor suit and being afraid of his enemies. One scene has Adam saying he's so scared that he "dropped anchor" followed by a metallic thud. |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End , Pintel and Ragetti each grab a cannonball, planning to drop them on the bodies floating in the water while escaping Davey Jones' Locker. As they're about to, they see Tia Dalma standing there. The camera cuts to their lower bodies, as they drop the cannonballs in a way that resembles this trope. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: When Pinkie Pie (wearing a chicken costume) is frightened by Princess Luna in "Luna Eclipsed," she bolts, leaving behind an egg. In "Bloom & Gloom," Apple Bloom scares the family rooster off the windowsill, causing it to lay an egg. Given the later reveal that she was still dreaming, this actually comes off as some subtle foreshadowing that she's not back in reality yet. |

On World's Dumbest..., a guy who ran out of beer expresses his displeasure by, among other things, grabbing a brick and pretending to literally "shit a brick". (This is actually the least bizarre thing he does; he also sets a teddy bear on fire.) | |

In a rare non-comedy example, during High School Of The Dead episode 2, "Escape From The Dead", a student in the infirmary drops a push-broom in this manner when one of the victims they are tending to starts to reawaken as a zombie. | |

At the beginning of one episode of Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, a trigger-happy hick in a mech was about to vandalize the Lincoln Memorial, until Big Guy showed him his "Mag Popper." The pilot then surrendered and ejected out of his mech's rear end. | |

Referenced in 1635: The Cannon Law, one of the books in the 1632 series — which has a modern West Virginian town sent back in time to 1632 Germany by Alien Space Bats (long story). Don Francisco Nasi makes this observation regarding the American town's Protestant ally, King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, and his possible reaction to Mike Stearns's decision to approve political sanctuary for Pope Urban VIII and his clan. His wording makes it extra hilarious. | |
