You've probably seen it before: the age-old gag where someone trips up or slips on something (or, occasionally, is pushed) and ends up landing in something disgusting.
It's often animal poop or garbage, but it could be anything as long as it is significantly gross. A common variation is tripping and landing in a nest of skunks, which, while not gross in themselves, will inevitably spray the unlucky character.
This is a common way of villains, especially in comedies, getting defeated (especially if they were arrogant), but good guys can have this happen to them too, especially if they're unlucky or clumsy. Also, if anyone visits a farm who is either clumsy, inexperienced with farms/the country, or both, expect them to trip into either manure or rotting food scraps. Sometimes, for extra comic effect, the accident might happen right before or after the unlucky one is told what the stuff is. They might also try to jump over the stuff, but fail miserably. Usually, the one who lands in the gross stuff will be understandably grossed-out, especially if they're a Neat Freak, but sometimes they don't mind (see Filthy Fun and The Pig-Pen).
Sub-trope of Slapstick and Toilet Humour. Sister Trope to Trash Landing (which is falling out of the sky and landing in garbage). May lead to Covered in Gunge or Covered in Mud. See Carrying a Cake, Banana Peel and Staircase Tumble for other gags related to tripping/falling. Contrast Urine Trouble, Tinkle in the Eye, and Bird-Poop Gag for when something disgusting falls onto you.

In one Bones episode, Booth slips, falls down a hill, and lands against the decomposing severed human head that was missing from the crime scene they were at.

Monsters, Inc.: While hiding in a bathroom stall and standing on a toilet, Mike Wazowski's foot accidentally dips into the water, causing him to pull it out. However, he cannot hold his balance for long, and eventually slips and falls completely into the toilet with a huge splash.

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: In the episode "Free Tippy", the titular twins are on a search of Tippy, a horse who has been set loose around the inside of the hotel. When they reach the hallway, they come across....um.....something Tippy left them (off-screen). Soon, Tippy comes from behind, shoving Cody forward and — well you can guess what happens from there.

Frozen Fever: As shown in this short, Prince Hans has been relegated to mucking the royal stables back home by his family for his crimes in Arendelle, namely the fact that he tried to kill Anna and Elsa in a selfish bid to become the king of Arendelle. Looking at his current situation, he's in a harsher condition than before, with the stables alone looking dark and uninviting. As if this humiliation wasn't enough, sick Elsa accidentally launches a giant snowball all the way to the Southern Isles, where it pummels him into a wagon full of manure. He even ends up being Covered in Gunge.

Back to the Future. This is a bit of a Running Gag of the series, as usually, whenever Marty tangles with a Tannen, manure will be involved in some fashion.
In the first movie Back to the Future, Marty causes Biff to crash into a manure truck and dump the contents on his convertible.
In the second movie Back to the Future Part II, Marty manages it again, this time distracting Biff long enough to get the Almanac back that he once more crashes into a manure truck. The same one from the first movie to boot. Meaning in the context of the '50s timeline, it happened twice in one week.
In the third movie Back to the Future Part III, Marty defeats Mad Dog Tannen by punching him out and causing him to fall on a manure wagon.

In the Brotherband book The Outcasts, the brotherbands have to cross a log over a pit of mud (which they strongly suspect has been infused with pig manure) as part of their training. Ingvar, who is incredibly nearsighted, gets too nervous to cross on his own, so Hal and Stig try to help him. He ends up falling and dragging them down with him.
