Scatological humor

"Now that is one big pile of shit."

- Ian Malcolm

Scatological humor, often referred to by the informal phrase "The Poop Joke", refers to scenes in a movie that involves human or animal excrement. It typically revolves around the messiness of such a thing, its distasteful smell, and the discomfort that it gives others. Examples of scatological humor includes somebody stepping in poop, or situations where someone may end up getting excrement on their face or in their mouth. Yeah... its basically the rock bottom measure of a director desperate to squeeze one more laugh from an audience.

Examples
In Jurassic Park, chaotician Ian Malcolm makes note of an inordinately large sample of triceratops droppings.

In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, everyone's least-favorite buffoon Jar Jar Binks steps in some alien dung.

In The Pacifier big-bad Vin Diesel has a bad poo-poo experience while changing a baby.

In one of the more odd examples of scatological humor, two English chicks in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle play a competitive bathroom game that they call "Battleshits".

In the movie Ted, one of Ted's party girl guests takes a dump on the floor. Mila Kunis is VERY upset about this, and Mark Wahlberg doesn't handle it too well either.
