The "burning bag of poop" is a very old and rather gross Practical Joke in which someone puts a bag filled with feces of some variety on someone's porch or stoop, lights it on fire, rings the doorbell or knocks, and then either runs away or hides to watch. Upon answering the door, the unsuspecting target panics and stomps out the burning bag, only to realize that their shoes are now fouled.
Related to Ding-Dong-Ditch Distraction, although the end result is very different.

That '70s Show: "Canadian Road Trip" begins with Eric inviting Hyde, Leo, and Fez to buy beer in Canada, and bluntly telling Kelso he can't go with them. When Kelso asks why, Eric says because when they tried to do this prank on a teacher, Kelso lit the bag on the way over, and stomped it out in the car. Eric only changes his mind when Kelso offers to pay for the beer.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Played with in "The Gang Goes Jihad". An Israeli developer has bought a lot that includes half of the property Paddy's Pub was on and built a wall around it. Charlie, Mac, and Dennis first try to get the developer off their property by making a "Jihad Tape" to send to him, but they can't bring themselves to do it. They then use Charlie's suggestion of throwing a flaming bag of poop into the building the developer bought. Unbeknownst to them, there's a gas leak in that building, so when they throw the bag, the building explodes. Also, Charlie drops their jihad tape at the site, resulting in some major unfortunate implications.

In Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "The Cubing", after Frylock asks the Wisdom Cube what lies beyond the universe, the cube gives Frylock a flaming bag and tells to put it out should he desire the final answer. Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be poop inside with Shake hysterically calling it the oldest gag in the book.

Scrubs: A flashback shows that JD, Turk and their latino friend "Caramel Bear" did this at university. Caramel Bear was grabbed by the victim of the prank and was never seen again. It's even stated that Caramel Bear's roommate got automatic As that semesternote There is an urban legend that if your roommate dies, you get all A's that semester due to the trauma making you temporarily incapable of continuing with your coursework. Doesn't happen in Real Life, though there's a grain of truth to it in that (most) professors will make allowances for the situation, such as letting the student hand in projects later than scheduled and/or take makeup tests.
