Basic Trope: A character who is well-known for being gassy.
- Straight: Bob has the tendency to burp and fart a lot.
- Exaggerated:
- Bob burps and farts in public every place he goes and every single minute.
- Everyone burps and farts a lot.
- Bob's burps and farts can be truly classified as lethal weapons.
- Downplayed:
- Bob burps and farts slightly more than everyone else.
- In a cast where nobody else burps and farts, Bob is the only one who has actually done it a couple times.
- Justified:
- Bob is a Big Eater.
- Bob has a poor diet.
- Bob consumes a lot of gas-causing foods like beans, broccoli, and soda.
- Bob has Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Crohn's Disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or some other chronic illness where gas is a symptom.
- Bob is lactose intolerant and can't say no to dairy.
- Inverted: Bob never burps or farts, but everyone else does occasionally.
- Subverted:
- Bob walks into a room and says, "Gassy guy, coming through." However, he neither burps nor farts even once.
- Bob stinks and people assume it's because he's passing gas, but it's actually because he forgot to shower.
- A loud fart is heard from Bob during a dinner scene, but then it's revealed it's because Alice put a whoopee cushion on his chair.
- Double Subverted: Bob burps and/or farts after he has left the room. Or alternatively, he is farting, but it’s of the silent but deadly variety.
- Parodied: Bob is a skunk.
- Zig Zagged: Bob burps a lot, but never farts.
- Alternatively, Bob farts a lot, but never burps.
- Averted:
- There is no farting or burping in the show.
- Bob farts and burps like a normal person occasionally, but it's not used as a joke nor does it define his character.
- Enforced: "None of these characters are funny anymore. Let's add a gassy guy to the cast."
- Lampshaded:
- "This guy burps and farts a lot. He should seriously see a doctor."
- "Someone has been eating a lot of burritos."
- Invoked: "Hey, Alice, pull my finger."
- Exploited: Bob is the undefeated burping champion.
- Defied:
- Bob is worried that he might be ill, and sees a doctor about his gassiness.
- Bob tries anti-gas medicine in hopes of preventing his farting.
- Discussed: "There's no way Bob is the perfect friend you say he is, Charles. There must be a catch. Is he a gassy guy?" "No. As far as I can tell, he doesn't have a 'catch' at all."
- Conversed: "I'm sure the Moral Guardians would want to cancel the show because Bob is gassy."
- Implied: No one wants to be in Bob's presence.
- Deconstructed: No one wants to be Bob's friend because he farts so much.
- Reconstructed:
- Bob eventually finds Alice, who is also very gassy and/or has no sense of smell. They quickly become Platonic Life-Partners because neither one has any friends besides each other.
- Alice and Bob find other misfit friends and form a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits.
- Played For Laughs:
- Bob can fart songs.
- Bob farts so loud that it can be heard from space.
- Played For Drama: No one can stand to be around Bob, which makes a rather lonely and depressed individual.
- Untwisted: Bob goes to a dinner. He doesn't start burping and farting until the dinner ends.
Back to Gasshole, you Gasshole! Your flatulence is making me sick!
