Nobody Poops/Playing With

Basic Trope: Bathroom usage is not dealt with in-story.

• Played Straight: During the course of the series, no mention is made of a character using the bathroom.
• Exaggerated: No evidence suggests that bathrooms exist!
  • Evidence shows that bathrooms exist, but they do not contain toilets.
• Justified: Bathrooms and related bodily functions are not relevant to the story.
  • The characters are Starfish Aliens or Fair Folk who do not excrete bodily waste as we do.
  • The story covers a short enough time period that no one should need a bathroom break.
• Inverted: A character is shown explicitly taking a dump mid-story.
  • All characters use the bathroom more often than people do in real life.
  • The show is about using the bathroom.
  • Toilet Humour
• Subverted: A bathroom is seen
  • Lance walks out of the bathroom with a satisfied look on his face.
• Double Subverted: But no one is seen using it.
  • But we never saw what he actually did in there; for all we know, he just washed slime off his hands.
    • Or the satisfied look on his face is the result of getting some action in the bathroom with a Love Interest...or himself.
• Deconstructed: Not pooping turns out to be a symptom of some sort of disease.
• Reconstructed:
• Parodied: Everyone suffers from constipation.
  • Nobody excretes any kind of waste, not even so much as carbon dioxide.
  • Since nobody poops, nobody knows what poop is or what toilets are for.
• Lampshaded: * "Why do we have a toilet anyway?"
• Averted: Characters are seen using bathrooms regularly, and it is occasionally a major plot point.
• Enforced: Let's face it: do we really want to see people doing gross bodily functions that eat up major plot time?
• Invoked: The characters all eat oatmeal with peanut butter mixed in. (Which is delicious, but is also akin to pouring concrete down one's GI tract, If You Know What I Mean.)
• Defied: A character gets up, grabs the Daily Tribune, and heads to the bathroom.
• Exploited: The Big Bad causes all the bathrooms to become unusable for some reason.
• Discussed: "Hey, don't they ever stop for a bathroom break?"
• Conversed: "Why in the world would you even care about that?"
• Played For Laughs: In a Deconstructive Parody, Potty Failure ensues.
• Played For Drama: The plot is trying to find the bathroom.
