People tend to associate flowers with good smells — the majority of them smell good, and some of the most common flowers (such as the rose and the lavender) are the good-smelling ones. So when a flower smells bad, it can be a hilarious subversion of expectations. The humor in the Stinky Flower is twofold — first of all, as mentioned before, it's a subversion of expectations. Secondly, bad smells are often used for comedy in themselves, since gross situations have been played for comedy since the dawn of time. Quite often, someone will sniff the flower, expecting it to smell good, only to get a shock to find it stinks. Sometimes, the flower belongs to somebody, whose family, spouse, or neighbors will complain about the smell. If someone actually likes the smell of the flower, it's a good bet they're The Pig-Pen. The flower might have a Visible Odor or a Wilting Odor, end up as an Ill-Fated Flowerbed, be exploited by a villain through Evil Smells Bad, or be Fantastic Flora. If the smell of the flower is mistaken for something worse, it can overlap with Grossout Fakeout or subvert Smells of Death. Compare Foul Flower. |

Starbound has an unobtainable item found on jungle planets called the Putrid Flower, which clearly resembles the rafflesia. Judging by the Player Character's quotes upon examining it, it clearly doesn't smell too good... | |

Scorpion: Walter's idea of a fun date? Go to see the opening of an Amorphophallus Titanum a.k.a. Corpse Flower, which smells... well. The fact that his girlfriend goes along with this is a clue to the gang that the relationship isn't healthy: she's still feeling the effects of him saving her life a few episodes earlier, and he... is Walter. | |

PAW Patrol: In "Pups Save a Stinky Flower", Mayor Humdinger gives Mayor Goodway a flower that opens and releases an odor that can be smelled all around Adventure Bay, and Mayor Goodway even initially wonders if Chickaletta farted when she first gets a whiff of it. Even a skunk is shown to hate the smell. As such, the PAW Patrol has to get to the flower before the wind catches its seeds and more foul-smelling flowers grow. | |

The Simpsons: In "Moe Baby Blues", the Springfield residents come to see the blooming of the Sumatran Century Flower. Its stench is so noxious that it immediately kills nearby flowers and everyone runs back into their cars for cover, causing a massive traffic jam in the process. The theoretical "stenchblossom" and "crapweed" from "The Principal and the Pauper" also qualify. |

Epic Battle Fantasy 4 has a giant Man-Eating Plant named Rafflesia as the boss of Lankyroot Jungle. Much like the real-life flower, it also stinks to high heaven (in fact, one of its attacks has it belch to either stagger or poison the party). Earlier, the party also complain about how smelly some of the plants in the jungle are, with only Anna not minding the smell. | |

Pokémon Red and Blue: Gloom is a Poison-type Pokémon that resembles a flower bud. Both its pistil and the honey that it drools are said to smell terrible, and it appropriately gets Stench as an Ability. It evolves into Vileplume, who is based on the rafflesia. | |

The Immortals: Swamp Lilies are an absolutely vile-smelling flower. Apparently the scent is to attract flies for pollination (an example of Shown Their Work as the Real Life folder attests). Numair keeps a vial of the petals on his person for use as smelling salts. Daine describes the smell as enough to wake the dead and the threat of having them waved under her nose is enough to will herself closer to consciousness. | |

Raptor Red: One chapter details Red's first encounter with flowers. As insects like bees and butterflies have yet to evolve, the flowers give off the smell of rotten meat to attract flies and carrion beetles to carry pollen for them. It drives Red and the other carnivores in the area nuts, as they smell a giant feast of carrion that they can't find. | |
