Adolin: If you must know, an old adage on the battlefield teaches that it's better to be embarrassed than dead. You can't let anything draw your attention from fighting.
Shallan: So...
Adolin: So yes, I, Adolin Kholin—cousin to the king, heir to the Kholin princedom—have shat myself in my Shardplate. Three times, all on purpose.

"And yet—And, yet... not one toilet on the entire Enterprise... Not one! Do these people not poop?"

Do you know why we never see Jack Bauer go to the bathroom? Because nothing escapes Jack Bauer!
— Anon.
Milne seriously asks us to believe that Pooh, that horizontal Porta Potti, will get slender enough merely by remaining motionless, never emitting so much as a plaintive fart, much less a purgative dump.
— Postmodern Pooh
Gabriel pooped in a secret place.
You ever notice that Batman never goes to the Bathroom? Maybe that's why he's always grimacing.
VoidBurger: What is it with David Cage games and pissing? Why does everyone piss? Is he one of those people that found it unrealistic that, like, in The Legend of Zelda Link never goes to the bathroom?
Chip Cheezum: That's like a thought that five-year-olds have, though! Like, I thought that when I watched Power Rangers, like 'When do they pee?! They never pee! When do they go to the bathroom?!'

Art: OK, here's a question for you. Do My Little Ponies crap rainbows? Yes or no?
Pip: I say "no". I don't believe they have the ability to crap at all. I think it just builds up until they explode in a cloud of sugar and fertilizer, from which pretty flowers bloom.

"It's really depressing that some people's fanatical devotion to 'realism' uses a definition of 'realism' that begins and ends with their frustration that almost no fictional works even mention, much less dwell on, the characters' habits of urination and defecation."
— ArcTan on Dead Earth
on Dead Earth"Have you ever saw a comic book character going to the toilet?"
— Jack Kirby, Rat-Man
"No-one ever needs to pee in movies. Don't you think that's a little strange? No-one ever needs to pee in movies. You almost never see someone in bladder pain. Not even when they're getting set for bedtime. Not even when they wake up after dawn. No-one ever needs to pee in movies. Makes you wonder what exactly's going on. No-one ever needs to pee in movies. Something just doesn't ring true. No-one ever needs to pee in movies and don't even get me started on number two. Not even when they stop after a long drive. Not even when they're drinking in a bar. No-one ever needs to pee in movies and they never have to tune an old guitar."
— First two verses of "No-One Ever Needs to Pee in Movies", a Songdrops song by Bryant Oden.
"I spent the past seven months in a maximum security prison, and no matter how bad things got—and they got bad—EVERY CELL HAD A TOILET!"
— Oliver Queen, complaining about the lack of any obvious toilets in the Pipeline, Arrowverse: Elseworlds (2018)
"It is very rare for authors to mention about natural bodily functions, unless imperative to the storyline. It does not mean that Harry never weed or pooed while he was at Hogwarts, or traipsing about the country looking for Horcruxes."
Ramona: Miss Binney, I want to know- how did Mike Mulligan go to the bathroom when he was digging the basement of the town hall?
Miss Binney: [after an awkward silence] Well- I don't really know, Ramona. The book doesn't tell us.
Eric: Maybe he stopped the steam shovel and climbed out of the hole he was digging and went to a service station.
Howie: He couldn't. The book says he had to work as fast as he could all day. It doesn't say he stopped.
Miss Binney: Boys and girls. The reason the book does not tell us how Mike Mulligan went to the bathroom is that it is not an important part of the story. The story is about digging the basement of the town hall, and that is what the book tells us.

"Do you think that simply because I don't mention something in the book it doesn't happen? If that's the case, then most of my characters really need to take a piss."
"You know why no one goes to the bathroom in books? Because it makes the pages stick together."
— Keetin, Into The Broken Lands
