History PottyEmergency / WesternAnimation

--->'''Zalgar:''' Oh, disgusting! [[BaitAndSwitch He didn't wash his hands.]]

** Bloo has one at the beginning of "Busted". However, he can't use the bathroom right away because Mr. Herriman makes him make his bed and brush his teeth first. Being a WellIntentionedExtremist, Mr. Herriman makes Bloo do everything by the rules, much to the latter's chagrin.
** Bloo, Wilt, Coco, Mr. Herriman and Frankie each have two in "Foster's Goes to Europe". Within the same episode, Eduardo has three of his own, the first two with his aforementioned friends, and the third when it is revealed that somebody sabotaged the Foster's bus.

* The episode "Body Rockers" of ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'' has Penny suffering one, and it could be [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowed]] as she was seen drink all of Bessie's water from her backpack.

** Another instance is mentioned in Rainbow Dash's journal, as written in ''The Wonderbolts Academy Handbook'': On Day 4 at the Wonderbolts Academy, Rainbow Dash mentions having to go to the bathroom really bad on the previous day, to the point that she almost wet herself but didn't.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'':

* In the episode "Power Lunch" ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', the Gangrene Gang gorge themselves on candy at a convenience store; after the Girls chance them and zap them with their laser vision, the candy somehow becomes radioactive and gives the Gang superpowers. After a titanic fight that "turns Townsville topsy-turvy", the Gang is about to crush the Girls, when all five of them suddenly need a bathroom badly, breaking from the battle to use a set of Port-o-Lets. Unfortunately, this causes them to lose their superpowers, and the Girls are able to pummel them black and blue.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'': Mikey has one in the episode "Parents' Night" after TJ made him drink tons of water so he could get into Spinelli's house under the pretense of needing to use the bathroom (the plan is to find out who Spinelli's real parents are after she has lied about them multiple times).

* Happens to Fanboy and Chum Chum in the titular series ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'' with the two of them stuck in a plastic bubble without a toilet after drinking a bunch of soft drinks in a store. They do manage to secretely use the store toilet at night.

* Being around the normal potty-training age, Chuckie goes through this in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' from time to time.

* In the ''Bing'' episode "Hide and Seek", Bing has one after refusing to use the bathroom before playing hide and seek. When he is found, he immediately has an accident.

** In the {{trope namer|s}} skit, Wakko Warner, who drank too much soda during a movie, is the hapless victim of this routine, which features just about every twist and turn that you can expect to see in a skit like this. There's a bit of a variation in that, midway through the short, Wakko remembers he has a toilet on him, thanks to his BagOfHolding -- but he still needs a private place to make use of it. Fortunately, he actually does find a place to use the potty. In the movie that he was watching at the beginning of the skit.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' had an episode with the dream variety in "Jenna's Bedtime Blues", when minor character Jenna is at a sleepover and is afraid that everyone will find out she is a bed-wetter. Upon waking, she turns on the TV as a distraction...and finds, among other things, men with Scottish accents talking about "wee lassies" and a children's show that's a hybrid of ''Series/SesameStreet'' and ''Series/WimziesHouse'' brought to you by the letter P. Not helping matters is that she drank a lot of cola in an attempt to stay up, not knowing that caffeine is a ''diuretic''. Whoops.

* Happens in the ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' episode "Hold It, Lazlo". Lazlo, having unwittingly annoyed [[TheBully Edward]] (again) by beating him in a lemonade drinking contest, soon has to go (bad). Edward takes advantage of this and repeatedly thwarts all of Lazlo's attempts to find somewhere to pee. The potty emergency comes to its peak when in the middle of it, Lazlo relieves himself in the lake, only to be reprimanded by a fish, forcing Lazlo to ''suck it back into himself.'' Ouch. The kicker was that the fish actually turned out to be a puppet worn by Edward. After successfully talking Lazlo both out of [[NatureTinkling peeing on a tree]] and using the girls' toilet at Acorn Flats (a pure girls' camp so obviously, they don't have a boys' toilet, the girls did allow him to use it though and he probably would have if Edward hadn't made him feel self-conscious about it), he finally can't take it anymore and rushes to the bathroom back at Camp Kidney where Edward had previously placed a fake "Out of Order" sign on the door to keep him from using it.
