* In ''Film/TheLongKissGoodnight'', a teenaged boy is smoking a cigarette when he is surprised by Charlie the Spy coming up behind him with a big sniper rifle. He pees his pants.
** It was less a matter of him being surprised to see her with that big gun, and more a matter of her warning him that she'd use it on him if he told anyone she'd been there.

* ''Film/MarthaMarcyMayMarlene'' has a rare (and particularly explicit) example where this isn't played for laughs. After flashing back to the time she helped prepare the next new female recruit for Patrick's sexual pleasure, Martha is shown from behind, sleeping the on floor next to the bed, as her nightgown gets wet; when she awakens afterward she takes it off and tries to hide it under the bedsheets.

** In "The Change", Tobias and Ax apparently wet themselves when Jara Hamee ''slices his own head open'' to prove he's not infested with a [[PuppeteerParasite Yeerk]].
** In "The Illusion", where Tobias is captured and tortured by the Yeerks, the author is kind enough to draw the reader's attention to the exact point in time where the pain becomes intense enough to invoke this trope (though he is a bird at this point). [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids You know, for kids!]]

'''Fitz:''' Sorry. ''(smiles and waftes with his hands)'' That would be me. Well, I was very frightened.
** Fitz also once either pissed himself or came very close when trying to rescue the Doctor from the living personification of FutureMeScaresMe, or possibly just the Doctor's own paradoxical and terrifying future self, in what he describes as a "surrealist hell". True to this trope, he was quite happy about the fact he was too soaked for anyone to notice.

And the clean trousers aren't even the right size.]]

** Discussed in ''Literature/WordsOfRadiance''. Adolin admits that since Shardplate requires help to remove, he can't just take it off once it's on, so if he has to go, he goes right there. He admits this on the first date with his fiance, at her prompting.

While in the bathroom, [[AxesAtSchool a school shooting happens]]. When Vada returns to school, she's too afraid to re-enter the bathroom she hid in and holds her bladder all day; after school ends, she heads down the school steps and accidentally steps on a soda can, the sound of which causes her to wet her pants in fear, which she gets angry at herself over.

* ''Film/MarthaMarcyMayMarlene'' has a rare (and particularly explicit) example where this isn't played for laughs.After flashing back to the time she helped prepare the next new female recruit for Patrick's sexual pleasure, Martha is shown from behind, sleeping the on floor next to the bed, as her nightgown gets wet; when she awakens afterward she takes it off and tries to hide it under the bedsheets. Later dialogue suggests the flashback was a dream she was having at that time.

* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': A group of characters are riding on a school bus around a perilous cliff. Petunia the skunk has been drinking a lot of cherry juice and [[PottyEmergency needs to visit the washroom]]. [[HilarityEnsues Chaos ensues,]] and soon the bus is headed for the edge of a cliff. Petunia puddles the floor (the puddle is strangely coming '''out of her feet''' rather than her crotch), then later [[spoiler:dies]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':

** In "The Fat and the Furriest", Homer prepares to face off against a grizzly bear by constructing a makeshift suit of armor...without a seat. He explains that this is in case he gets extremely frightened, because he doesn't want to ruin the suit.
