History Main / StinkSnub

* ''Literature/SecretSanta'': Among the insulting SecretSanta gifts Erik gets are a book about overcoming halitosis and extra-strength deodorant.

* One potentially offensive ShaggyDogStory has this as its punchline. To paraphrase, a blind rabbit and a blind [[SmellySkunk skunk]] are running through a forest and they bump into each other. Since they are both blind, they decide to guess what the other animal is. The skunk says "You have long ears, you must be a rabbit." The rabbit says "You stink, are you an Insert [[AcceptableTargets Acceptable Target]] Here?"

* In ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'', rather than use the shower after gym class, Max's nemesis Skyler saturates himself with a body spray that, as Max describes it, "[...] smells like actual in-real-life piss. And like BAD piss too. Like the kind of piss you take when you're REALLY dehydrated." Later, as Skyler walks by Max's friends Calixta and Bee, Bee says "Ugh, what smells like piss?"

** ComicBook/EmmaFrost at one point says that Franchise/{{Wolverine}} "[..] smells exactly like a warthog."

Compare AdoptionDiss, YouAreFat and YourMom for other themed insults. Note that telling someone that they stink is generally considered more socially {{acceptable|targets}} than telling them their footsteps cause earthquakes, implying they're unloved, or disrespecting their parents. When EvilSmellsBad, commentary to that effect amounts to this. When used in visual media, a VisibleOdor is often involved.

See also: HumansAreSmelly when this is at least part of a general opinion about the entire species, YouNeedABreathMint for halitosis-specific examples, and ThePigPen when the insults are clearly and abundantly true.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Occurs in two stories.

* ''VideoGame/{{Iconoclasts}}'': Mina is repeatedly reminded that she smells. This even affects gameplay in the stealth boss fight, limiting her to hiding in locations with water.

* Inverted in ''Manga/ActAge''. Stage director Iwao refers to certain actors with a "stink", which to him is a ''good'' thing. If they smell, it's a sign that they're expressive and capable of a wide range of investment-worthy acting potential--this is an honor awarded to the protagonist and her acting partner for their current production. By contrast, the mechanical, clinical actors of the Stars agency like Akira Hoshi did not give off a stink at all, at first

** Played for laughs with [[ShowWithinAShow fictionalized versions]] of the same characters. In "The Ember Island Players", when the play shows Zuko betraying Iroh, Zuko tells him "You smell!"
** Played for {{bathos}} to a degree. After Zuko and Iroh are reunited and embracing and Zuko is unreservedly forgiven by his uncle for all he's done wrong, he makes a quip about Iroh's "strong scent" making him easy to find.

* ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'': The trolls describe Kristoff as being smelly in the "Fixer-Upper" song and ask if that's why he and Anna aren't a couple. In its [[Disney/FrozenFever sequel short]], Elsa treats getting him and Sven to take a shower like a big achievement.

* ''Disney/TheLionKing'': In one scene, the hyenas are spitefully listing things they don't like about the lions. Shenzi calls them "stinky."
* ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'': The arachnoid Mister Scroop tries to bully Jim Hawkins, but gets called "bright eyes" for his effort. Seizing Jim by the throat, Scroop hisses, "Maybe your ears don't work so good." Jim gasps for breath, then replies, "Yeah. Too bad my nose works just fine," implying Scroop has an unpleasant odor about him.

* ''Film/TheFly1986'' plays this for drama -- and it's less insult and more genuine concern for someone's heath. Neither Veronica nor Seth yet knows that the reason there's a stench is because the latter is undergoing a SlowTransformation into a HalfHumanHybrid and is, in a sense, literally rotting.

* PlayedForDrama in ''Film/Parasite2019''. The rich Mr. Park complains about the way his driver Ki-taek and other lower-class people smell. Eventually this is one of the things that causes [[spoiler:Ki-taek to snap and fatally stab him.]]

-->'''Graystripe''': [=ShadowClan=] cats smell bad enough on their own, but sick ones... yuck!

* ''Franchise/StarTrek''

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Played for {{bathos}} to a degree. After Zuko and Iroh are reunited and embracing and Zuko is unreservedly forgiven by his uncle for all he's done wrong, he makes a quip about Iroh's "strong scent" making him easy to find.
** Earlier played for laughs with [[ShowWithinAShow fictionalized versions]] of the same characters. In "The Ember Island Players," when the play shows Zuko betraying Iroh, Zuko tells him "You smell!"

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': ''WesternAnimation/QuietPlease'' has Jerry try to rile up Tom into making some noise by pulling aside some drapes to reveal the graffiti "Stinky" inked on the wall. This does indeed get Tom to chase that impudent mouse.
