** In ''TheCableGuy'', Jim Carrey's character disguised as the attendant attacks Owen Wilson's character while entering the stall.

* In ''AceVentura'': "Do not go in there!" (though it's not in the actual bathroom, but Ace has to fake it is)

* ''HalfLife2: Deathmatch''. You have a gravity gun that can launch heavy objects at lethal velocity. Most of the maps have toilets that can be picked up with this gravity gun. Needless to say, this is an iconic combat technique, so much so that it is in the logo for the game. It's also an achievement in the standard game, aptly named "Flushed".

* ''{{Hostel}}''. In a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, Paxton corners the guy who tortured and killed his friend in a toilet stall, [[{{Fingore}} cuts his fingers off]], dunks his head in the toilet, then brings him up so he can [[TheLastThingYouEverSee see he who his attacker is]], and then slashes his throat.

** The Wii remake has a similar scene, kept true to the original movie with a quicktime event to knock the guard's lights out.

* Yes, WesternAnimation. ''{{Animaniacs}}'' featured a Slappy Squirrel short with her facing an old foe. He tries the plungers-to-climb-a-wall routine. She grabs a plunger and..uses it for its initial purpose. Once the toilet blockage is clear, it flushes apparently everything. 'Can I sniff ya now?'
** And then Wakko's issues trying to relieve himself in 'Potty Emergency'. He finally has to settle for breaking a fourth wall.
*** "Ewww... he didn't even wash his hands!"

* In ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' Tyrion murders Tywin while he was on the privy, giving us the immortal line: ''"Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold"''.

* In ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' Tyrion murders Tywin while he was on the privy, giving us the immortal line: [[spoiler:''"Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold"'']].
* The story ''[[http://www.daliso.com/heroicproportions.htm Heroic Proportions]]'' has a dictator assassinated while sitting on the toilet. [[spoiler:He actually died in his sleep, but a janitor placed his corpse on the toilet and shot it so that, even if he was a KarmaHoudini in life, he'd be a mockery in death.]]

* Reversed in ''KevinAndKell''. Kevin resorts to a loan shark who shows up via his toilet. The next strip shows little Coney in potty training on the same toilet, and the results: [[spoiler:One dead loan shark, one full bunny.]] When asked about the effects of the shark would be on the young girl, she shows in a later panel what results: she visits the bathroom with a fishing rod.

* In {{Zombieland}}, the zombies can sense when you're at your most vulnerable moment, leading to Columbus to create the survival rule "Beware of Bathrooms."

This is not how you die in [[InSovietRussiaTropeMocksYou Soviet Russia,]] and generally has nothing to do with AssKicksYou.

** The opening of ''Conviction'' will apparently feature [[PapaWolf Sam]] [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique politely requesting information]] about his daughter's murder in a public restroom.

* In ''{{Unforgiven}}'', one of the cowboys sought by the bounty hunters is shot to death while in an outhouse.
-->'''The Schofield Kid:''' "I shot that fucker three times. He was takin' a shit. He went for his pistol an' I blazed away..."

* ''{{Firefox}}''. Clint Eastwood's character starts having Vietnam flashbacks due to stress and takes refuge in a public toilet; unfortunately a KGB agent hears him and starts banging on the door, insisting on seeing his papers. Clint panics when the KGB man ([[InSovietRussiaTropeMocksYou falsely, as it turns out]]) claims there's something wrong with his papers, and kills him.

* People being killed in outhouses or bathrooms seems to happen a lot in ClintEastwood movies.

-->'''The Schofield Kid:''' "I shot that fucker three times. He was takin' a shit. He went for his pistol an' I blazed away..."

* ''HalfLife2'' multiplayer: SoYeah.
** It's considered the definitive move in Deathmatch, so much so it's in the logo for the game.
** It's also an achievement in the standard game, aptly named "Flushed".

*** Possible TruthInTelevision. [[OrSoIHeard I heard]] that Redbacks like to hide under toilet seats, what with them being dark and enclosed. Someone sitting on it understandably startles them, and they bite. Luckily, the bites are rarely fatal, though they can be extremely painful.
