Spud and the bed sheets.
Seen this movie countless times but that scene still makes me cringe and laugh.

Why didn't Spud just dump the sheets and leave quietly?
Instead he goes into the room with the *beep* sheets?
He's not exactly blessed with comman sense. He coulda dumped the sheets out the window, but gotta imagine the mattress would be soaked as well...
There's a good Scot's word for the reaction to that scene - boak. It means to gag.
'then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forrest, wiiiiiiiiiiiiith.........a HERRING!'
What was in those sheets, because before that we hear Spud say that he hasn't had sex for weeks and his balls are huge, but it looked like brown crap, I don't recall Spud being constipated?
share'A combination of ma *beep* puke n piss. I've baws like *beep* watermelons, there's probably a fair amount of spunk in thair n aw' as I recall. I'm paraphrasing, of course.
shareIt could've just happened as he slept, he had no control over his bodily functions.

Having not read the book, I've always inferred that scene to the initial scene of the film. Heroin makes you constipated and when you come off it... well, a lot comes out. Mix that with being black out drunk, which in itself can make you crap all over the place and you're going to have some messy sheits when you wake up.

I thought it was blood on the sheets? (Am I thinking of the the same event you are referring to?- I don't know which guy is spud- They all seemed interchangeable.)
shareHow the f could that even happen lol, hilarious!
shareI'm Scottish and male. I remember watching this film for the very first time when it first came out and found this particular scene very disturbing (obviously it's not as harrowing as the baby dying of negelect, but it's still quite a disturbing scene, imo). Also, I think it's commonplace that addicts of drugs or alcohol lose control of their continence frequently, so to that end it is a realsitic scene; the other part in the kitchen was just hyperbole thrown in for comedic value.
Btw, does anyone else find the scene quite disturbing?
I find it extremely disturbing, both the visual and the horrifying thought of something like that happening.
I was about to ponder the point of the scene but you just explained it.
As well as that, wouldn't Spud's other half have known that he had soiled the sheets, after all she slept in the same bed. When her Mum was wrestling Spud for the sheets she should have piped up
shareHis girlfriend says at the breakfast tabel that she slept on the couch, thus she probably didn't know about Spud crapping the sheets.
shareIt wasn't disturbing
It was meant as a comic scene
I find it disturbingly funny. Cause the scene is so gross and disturbing yet so funny at the same time. I burst out laughing every time.
shareYou've obviously never done this yourself or been party to someone else doing it when really drunk, either pissing or *beep* themselves. Not as uncommon as you might think, therefore not really disturbing to people who've seen it done.
shareSpike's girl friend gets some of the matter plastered on her face - I suspect the relationship is going nowhere after this.
"Chicken soup - with a *beep* straw."
Funniest scene in the film!
"Spud! They're ma sheets!"
Makes it seem less gross when you remember that it's just chocolate.
James?
I think it may be time to go home
take me round the world one more time
Why not!
A tendency to lose control of bodily functions seems to be common with addicts - the scene is similar in the book, and Renton also goes from being severely constipated to suddenly needing to find a toilet - any toilet.
