There has always been a fine line between disgusting and hilarious. Things like poop, farts, butts, and that sort of thing are a frequent source of comedy. However, sometimes you don't want to get too disgusting, and that's where the Grossout Fakeout comes into things. A Grossout Fakeout is any situation where it looks like something disgusting is happening, but that isn't the case. There are three basic ways of playing this. The first type is a variation on Bait-and-Switch — the audience is set up to believe the gross thing is happening, but then it's revealed that it's perfectly innocuous. For instance, someone asking if the swimming pool got warmer is followed up by a reveal that the heating was turned on, or someone steps in something brown which is then revealed to be chocolate ice cream. The second type is a form of Dramatic Irony — the audience knows that it's perfectly innocuous, but someone else thinks it's something gross and freaks out. For instance, Alice spills soup on herself and Bob comes in, thinking she threw up. These scenarios also often qualify as Not What It Looks Like as well. Finally, the third type is for when someone deliberately makes it look as though something gross is happening, as a lie or a prank. This might involve pretending to throw up as part of Playing Sick, being very graphic in a Bathroom Search Excuse, or using a Whoopee Cushion or fake dog poop to prank someone. Compare A Bloody Mess, Innocent Innuendo, Less Disturbing in Context, Mistaken for Masturbating, Suggestive Collision, Accidental Pervert, Mistaken for Pedophile, Stab the Salad. |

In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Greg goes to church, having sat on a candy bar. A little girl notices the stain and exclaims, "Poop! He's pooped his pants!". Greg tries to prove that it's just chocolate by licking some of it off of his behind. This just disgusts the churchgoers more. | |

In the Milly, Molly Animated Adaptation, Marmalade the cat knocks over a vase into Milly's dad's chair. When he asks why it's wet, Milly tries to explain, but only gets as far as explaining that Marmalade was responsible before he cringes. She quickly explains that it's just water from a vase. | |

Andy Griffiths' Just Series: In "Just Stupid", the story "Busting" has some kids spray Andy in the crotch with squirt guns. When he asks a hippie for directions to the toilets, the hippie says, "Looks like it's a bit late." In "Emergency Spew Relish", Andy tries pranking an old woman by pretending he's eating his vomit and using it as shampoo when it's actually corn relish. As it turns out, though, she's blind, so the prank doesn't work. |

SAS: Rogue Heroes. During the Benghazi raid the SAS are trying to bluff their way past a checkpoint without identity papers. Major Stirling notes that immaculate appearance of the Italian officer in charge, so pretends to have dysentery so he will rush them through rather than let Stirling take a dump behind his tent as he asks. | |

Several variants of this trope were used in the Austin Powers trilogy; most notably Austin's fight in a toilet stall with O'Brien in the first film (the man in the stall next to him thinks Austin is constipated), and the two "silhouette gags" in the latter two movies (a scene with Austin and Felicity in a tent in the second film makes it look like Felicity is preforming a series of Ass Shoves, while in the third film Austin and Mini-Me are behind a privacy screen and make it look like Austin has a Gag Penis). | |

Sesame Street: In one episode, baby Natasha keeps crying and repeating, "Hoongie!". Maria and Zoe, who are babysitting her, wonder if this means she needs a diaper change, but she doesn't. In "Elmo's Potty Time", Grover says that his "body is trying to tell [him] something". Elmo thinks this is a euphemism for needing the bathroom, but actually he meant he was hungry. |

In the American Dad! episode "Iced, Iced Babies", Stan gets a vasectomy and upon finding out, Francine, who wants to have another baby, heads to a cold storage center to get Stan's frozen sperm samples. When Stan tries to stop her, Francine pulls out a gun and shoots a huge storage tank, resulting in Stan seemingly being washed away by a gigantic wave of semen... until she realizes that she accidentally got the wrong room, and was at a milk research center, with the sperm bank being in the next room. | |

Seeing as Drawception is similar to the Telephone game, it's no surprise that some of the misinterpretations involve mistaking a drawing of some innocuous substance like chocolate for another, grosser one like poop. This even led to the unofficial site rule: "Even if it's brown, it's probably not poo". | |

When Lucy is making an excuse for why she's at home and not at Haiku's house, where she pretended she was going, she pretends that she and her sister got food poisoning and threw up, and that she had to go home as it was making her nauseous. |

Sluggy Freelance: "Stick Figures in Spaaaaaace" has a scene where Torg and Riff suspect a member of their crew being an android and take him away to check. Then it shifts to a view of them with a knife looking over a gory mess and going, nope, no android parts in him. Then Torg even experimentally eats what looks like an intestine. Then it turns out the mess is just the guy's spaghetti and meatballs, which they stole because they thought he was an android and wouldn't care. (And they saw he had no android parts because they put him in a scanner.) | |

The Loud House: In "Along Came a Sister", Lincoln returns Luan's fake dog poop. She says she doesn't have any fake dog poop, which grosses out Lincoln... but then Luan reveals that she was only kidding. In "Jeers for Fears", Bobby shows Lincoln and Clyde some fruit salad that he used as fake intestines for Halloween. In "Lucha Fever with the Casagrandes", Ronnie Anne spills soup on the floor to pretend to throw up, so that her neighbour doesn't come into the apartment. In "Missed Connection", Lana thinks that the pizza which arrived is shaped like a butt, when it's meant to be a heart. In "Kings of the Con", Clyde is behaving frantically and Lana assumes he needs to use the bathroom. In "Potty Mouth", Luan pretends that Lily needs a change to swap her for Lisa. |

Rugrats: In "Baby Power", the babies think they've turned Dil into a superpowered monster and try to get him back to normal by spilling water on him. Didi picks Dil up and notes, "Your diaper is wet, sweetie. And so is your head?! When you have to go, you have to go!" In "All's Well That Pretends Well", the babies eat vanilla ice cream and Didi mistakes the ice cream on their faces for snot. Needless to say, she is highly disgusted when Betty recognises it as ice cream and tastes some. Downplayed in "Baby Power", where the babies think Dil is going to poop, but he farts instead. In "Man of the House", Dil's rattle breaks, so he cries. This confuses Didi, and at one point, she thinks he has a dirty diaper. In "Day of the Aquarium", the babies see a fountain. Chuckie says, "The floor's going potty?". In "The Big Flush", the babies go to a pool and mistake it for a giant toilet. When Chuckie notes that the pool water tastes bad, Tommy says that it's because it's "potty water". |

Peg + Cat: In the episode "The Butter Problem", a cow is squirming because her udder is sore from not being milked. Cat mistakes her squirming for a Potty Dance. In the episode "The Scrap of Map Problem", Peg hears Baby Fox Blowing a Raspberry. She asks Cat if he made the sound, and he says that he probably didn't, although he may have farted without realising it. |

The Fairly OddParents!: In "Dog's Day Afternoon," Timmy has switched bodies with Vicky's pet dog Doidle. Timmy in Doidle's body comes across one of Vicky's teenage magazines lying on the floor and raises up one of his legs, ready to pee on it. The very next shot is a close-up shot of what appears to be urine splashing on the magazine, but then it zooms out to reveal it's actually a commercial for a liquid weed whacker formula appearing on a TV that Doidle in Timmy's body is watching. | |

The IT Crowd: In "Fifty-Fifty", Roy is in a taxi with his date, and hasn't noticed a suspicious-looking brown smear on his forehead. The date is grossed-out and tense, pointedly not looking at Roy as he tries to talk. She gets out of the taxi at her house, finally telling him "You've got poo on your head!" when he tries to talk his way inside. Puzzled, he wipes the stuff off his head and declares, "It's chocolate!" He and the date laugh, relieved... but she's still too grossed out to invite him in. | |

Critical Role: When the Mighty Nein are getting ready to infiltrate a hospital, it's up to Mollymauk to create a distraction. He first uses his disguise kit and some old breakfast food to make his genitals look like he's got a horrible STD, then uses some of that same breakfast food to create fake vomit. He and Fjord then walk into the hospital where Molly proceeds to fake-vomit all over himself, starts rolling/crawling around on the ground, and cuts himself with one of his swords to add a fair amount of blood to the mix, while screaming that he doesn't need medical attention. This ends up working a little too well — Molly ends up restrained and locked in a room by several nurses, and has to jump through the window to escape. | |

In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic Pound and Pumpkin Cake's Adventures (and Misadventures) in Potty Training, the chapter "The Exploding Diaper" begins with Scootaloo asking Mr. and Mrs. Cake if they've ever heard of an exploding diaper. The Cakes are shocked, but then Scootaloo explains that it only exploded because the twins tried to inflate it with helium. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: In "The Long Haul", a raw cinnamon roll explodes in the hot car, and when Rodrick gets some on his head, he thinks it's his brains. When Manny starts licking the dough off his fingers, Rodrick screams. In "Rodrick Rules", Rodrick and his friends put fake throw-up on strangers' cars. In "The Last Straw" Greg accidentally sits on Manny's chocolate Easter bunny, making it look like he pooped his pants. In "The Ugly Truth", during the school sleepover, some boys pretend to fart behind the curtain. One of them even uses a tuba. |

Blubber: Linda, who has been given the insulting nickname in the title, claims her classmates made her eat a chocolate-covered ant, causing her to vomit. In reality, the confection in question is just a regular yummy chocolate truffle candy. The girls just told Linda it was an ant so she’d lose her desire for it, because Linda’s not supposed to be eating sweets, being how she’s on a diet and all. | |
