For one reason or another in the middle of the Potty Emergency, a toilet isn't available. Perhaps they're on a wacky road trip, perhaps they're locked in a room, perhaps they find the idea of urinating outdoors disgusting, they are very poor, or perhaps even because they refuse to quit playing a certain video game. Whatever the reason, a proper trip to a bathroom is not available. Instead, some other container, usually a jar, is offered. Usually, the person will protest and say they'll hold it. If the person does use the Jar Potty, it'll be off-camera. The contents of the jar may be spilled on the person, with the phrase "I hope that was just water" or some variation therein. Other extensions of the trope may go the extra disgusting mile with another character happening across the container, thinking it's a refreshing bottle of lemonade or apple juice, and taking a swig. Screaming and absolute horror immediately follows. This trope is almost always Played for Laughs. That said, use of jars, chamber pots, cans, and other non-flush/non-latrine "toilets" has happened pretty much until the advent of the flush toilet in almost all societies that did not practice cleanliness codes forbidding it, being the direct cause of epidemic/pandemic cholera and the spread of much other serious infectious diseases. There is a reason why latrines are generally situated away from water sources, why the flush toilet in societies with some degree of wastewater diversion/wastewater treatment, and/or chemical composting toilets being used to dispose of fecal matter are considered the greatest advance in disease prevention of human history; and the existence of proper toilets is literally central to the eradication of epidemics and pandemics. Using a jar or chamber pot or bottle or similar for urine only is relatively safe, though, as unless the user has a UTI or gonorrhea or schistosomiasis, urine itself, while not perfectly sterile, is devoid of harmful to human health bacteria until exposed to it. |

"The Cop Song" from the musical Urinetown, which has Officers Lockstock and Barrel gloat about people they punished for not using proper toilets to avoid having to pay to go to the bathroom, mentions two individuals who were sent to Urinetown as punishment for doing this. Jacob Rosenbloom, who peed in jars he kept in his room. Roger Roosevelt, who "kept a cup below his belt" before he spilled it and was therefore caught. |

Seems to be the case in Teen Titans Go!, where Jinx resides in an infeasibly small futuristic-looking cylinder of a prison cell with a bucket. Directly addressed in "Operation Dude Rescue" where Starfire asks in so many words why she has a bucket; Jinx adopts a sly look, picks it up, says "I'll show you", and then, trilling as much, does a shredded-paper Confetti Drop; apparently it's for confetti. | |

In the Spacetrawler universe, this situation apparently arises often enough that an entire line of robots was designed for the primary function of allowing pilots to relieve themselves without leaving the cockpit (and a secondary function of converting waste into food and water). Humor is derived from how frighteningly eager the resident pottybot is to perform his job. | |

In the Yin Yang Yo! episode "Slumber Party of Doom", Yin forces Yang to stay on his side of their room during her sleepover so that he doesn't ruin it (even going as far as to throw a pizza he had ordered at his face when he tried to get it). Yang asks her, "What if I have to use the bathroom?" and Yin throws a bottle at him. He then asks, "Yeah, but what if-", but he gets cut off when she throws a trash can at his head. | |

Randy's wife points out that girls can't pee in jars the way boys do, so Randy adds for the son to look for a funnel. The search is moot as the daughter clarifies that it's the, uh, other number. | |

The Power Rangers Dino Charge episode "Let Sleeping Zords Lie" has The Teaser feature Shelby get so thirsty that she drinks the other Rangers' drinks. Before the title sequence happens, she grabs one of the empty cups and bolts off. Given what usually happens to a person after they've had a lot to drink, this is clearly hinting that she's going to relieve herself in it. | |

One episode of My Name Is Earl had Darnell use one of these offscreen when the gang was trapped in the copy-room after trying to steal the copier and failing miserably. Another episode involves a Basement-Dweller who uses these because coming upstairs to use the bathroom is too much for him, and his doting mother only enables his laziness. He was upset because she ran his supply through the dishwasher, and he didn't want to wait for her to give him one, so he peed out the window. |

In episode 8 of KonoSuba, Kazuma tries to talk Megumin into peeing into a bottle when the latter suggests they go to the bathroom together to solve their nightly Potty Emergency. Megumin takes offense and an argument breaks out. In the following scene, Kazuma is waiting for Megumin outside the bathroom while creepy dolls keep appearing in the hallway. A terrified Kazuma then breaks into the bathroom to escape with Megumin. As he tells her that he's at his limit, she offers him a flower vase she brought from the bathroom which he refuses to use. It's only when they're hiding in a room with the dolls outside that he seriously considers peeing into the vase. He doesn't do it because he gets distracted by Megumin's sudden creepy chanting. | |

M*A*S*H: In "Smilin' Jack," the 4077th has their specimen bottles traded away, so the doctors have to improvise. When it is suspected that chopper pilot Smilin' Jack has an ailment, Hawkeye and B.J. give him an examination, then hand him an empty champagne bottle in lieu of a specimen bottle. Invoked in the episode where they think Frank might have hepatitis (Hawkeye and Trapper "stole" a pint of his blood while he slept, and the North Korean patient they gave the blood to developed symptoms). They want to get a urine sample to test, so they had Frank drink until he had to go, but when he got to the latrine, Radar had nailed the door shut and told him it was "being redecorated". He then directed Frank to a small tent and handed him a bucket to use. |

Little Princess has the episode "I Want My Voice Back". The Princess (who's just four) loses her voice completely and cannot talk. When she needs her potty chair, she points to where it is on the shelf, and the General brings down a sand bucket instead, so she pees in it. | |

How Not to Summon a Demon Lord: The party is exploring Diablo's dungeon and Horn says she needs to pee. The dungeon has no bathroom, so Diablo nonchalantly hands her The Holy Grail and tells her to use that. Rose is appalled, but he says he can use his stuff any way he wishes. Horn peeing into the Grail eventually awakens the spirit inside it, Babylon, who can only be seen and heard by someone who made an offering to the Grail. | |

Chef Pee Pee does so, and when he attempts to dispose of Junior's pee, Toad arrives and mistakes the pee for lemonade, so Chef Pee Pee lets him have it. In "The Elevator!", Junior has to go to the bathroom on his way to A Doofy the Dragon Meet and Greet, and he, Joseph, and Cody get trapped in an elevator. Junior eventually relieves himself in a cup he found on the floor, much to the disgust of Joseph and Cody, and he nearly gets close to drinking it. |

The final scene of "A Night at the Inn, a Day at the Racists" from the Binder of Shame has it revealed that El Disgusto has stashed a whole collection of bottles of Mountain Dew under the stairs, except it's not Mountain Dew in the bottles — as he explains, he doesn't like to go upstairs to the bathroom when he's watching TV, so he just goes in the bottles with the intention of throwing them away later. He hasn't thrown away a single one — some of them are crusted with age and other substances. And yes, this is exactly as disgusting as it sounds, such that the fact that it capped off a truly nasty bit of gaming was the "rock bottom" moment for Ab 3. | |

In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Senator June Finch refutes Lex's argument that him creating Kryptonite weapons is merely a "deterrent" using a colorful metaphor "Take a bucket of piss and call it Granny's Peach Tea; take a weapon of assassination and call it deterrent. You won't fool a fly on me. I'm not gonna drink it." During a later Senate hearing, June finds a jar of (possibly) urine on her desk marked "Granny's Peach Tea" just before Lex blows up the Senate building, killing her. | |

"Meet the Sniper" short for Team Fortress 2 shows the Sniper peeing in jars to keep up his overwatch. In-game you can unlock his urine jars as a secondary weapon, called "Jarate", which applies a debuffnote soaked enemies take mini-crits (35% increased damage with no distance falloff) from all damage sources, makes cloaked and disguised Spies easier to tracknote although the soak effect wears off faster on a cloaked Spy and putting out afterburn from Pyros on allies. There's even an explanation on why he did this in the first place: Spy had been guessing Sniper's actions correctly for quite a while while being a nuisance to a few classes such as Scout, causing Sniper to look into the magazine-like flyer as he is sick and tired of being picked on by him. | |

Blackadder II episode "Potato" contains several references to this. Blackadder attempts to gain fame by rounding the Cape of Good Hope, but his ship ends up getting lost and running out of water, forcing them to resort to this trope (except for the captain, who'd been drinking "his own water" the whole time). Baldrick manages to fill two bottles, but the group is spared in the nick of time when they suddenly discover a new land. When they get back to England two years later, Edmund takes great pleasure in giving the bottles of "fine wine" to his rivals Lord Melchett and Sir Walter Raleigh. | |

During the van trip at the start of The Tripper, Muff asks Joey to pull over so he can take leak. Instead, Joey hands him a jar and tells him to pee into that: suggesting that Jade can 'aim the cannon' for him. Disturbingly, the jar already has liquid in it; suggesting that Joey has been peeing into while driving. However, then Joey swerves to avoid a dog and runs off the road. Everybody takes advantage of the unexpected stop to pile out of the van for a comfort break. | |

The boys find it really uncomfortable, but Cartman claims it's an easy way to go to the bathroom as he chucks a urine-filled condom in the trash.

Homestar Runner: In the early short "A Jumping Jack Contest", The Cheat tricks Homestar into drinking lots of melonade so that he will have to use the bathroom. After drinking all the melonade, he has to pee, but he can't leave the stage (otherwise he'll be disqualified from the contest), so Pom-Pom comes up with a plan. It then cuts to Homestar sighing in relief as The Poopsmith walks away carrying a large jar of urine. In "Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon", Strong Bad and The Cheat's cell is just an upended cardboard box with three cans labeled "FOOD", "WATER", and "EWW". |
