Toilet humour

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

(Redirected from Toilet humor)

Public reference to bodily functions such as urination and defecation is taboo in many cultures and thus arouses intense anxiety in many people. For this reason, there is a whole sub-genre of humour, toilet humour (also potty humour or bathroom humour) based around excretion. This genre is particularly popular with children. For that reason, it is particularly taboo when adults use it, though it is quite common.

This genre also sees substantial crossover with the sexual humour genre, most likely because of the multiple-function nature of the body parts involved in both genre as well as the sexual fetishism involved with certain bathroom functions.

Many artists have made their names promulgating toilet humour:

Much of the lyrical content of avant-garde rock musician Frank Zappa's songs revolved around toilet humour, for example, "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow" (from the album Apostrophe).
The humour of the animated series South Park also consists largely of toilet humour, even going so far as to have a talking piece of excrement called Mr. Hankey as a recurring character.
Dr. Slump, a manga from Akira Toriyama (the creator of Dragon Ball), also had a strong scatological bent.
The Private Eye comic strip Barry McKenzie written by Barry Humphries and drawn by Nicholas Garland are a treasure trove of chundering, parking the tiger, splashing the boots, and draining the dragon, with much of the allegedly Australian slang created by Humphries himself.
Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry, translated as King Turd, opens with the line "Merdre!" (a corruption of the French merde, translated by Barbara Wright as "shittr") and is filled with scatological humour. Though Jarry was only 14 years old when he began it as a spoof of one of his teachers, it is now regarded as one of the first examples of the Theatre of the Absurd.
The adult comic magazine VIZ has, over 25 years, built a publishing empire from toilet humour.
The movie Dumb and Dumber featured a lengthy toilet scene played by actor Jeff Daniels.
Paska (http://www.paska.info/) (Finnish for "shit") is a Finnish one man band. It was once disbanded because of internal disagreements.

Toilet humour also refers to jokes around modesty, such as if one is seen naked or in his/her undergarments. It can also refer to jokes revolving around the incontinence of infants and young children or the aged or infirm. Jokes about wedgies and tighty-whitey underpants also fall in this category.

Constipation is another source of toilet humour. Screamin' Jay Hawkins recorded his "Constipation Blues" with his trademark yells after his first bout with blockage and the Bonzo Dog Band recorded "The Strain" on the same topic and with many of the same sound effects.

Combinations

Another section of toilet humour involves combination bodily functions, which are generally the unexpected result of some forcing mechanism. While these events certainly don't have the lexicographical diversity of their single-function counterparts, they are generally considered humorous in discussion and especially in occurrence.

Vurping - When someone vomits when they eructate.
Sharting - When someone defecates as the result of overpressures created by attempting to flatulate.
Snarting - When someone farts as the result of sneezing-induced overpressures.
The Holy Shart - When someone defecates in his/her pants with a fart that came as the result of sneezing. Better if someone says "bless you" with the sneeze.

[edit]

Miscellaneous body parts, odours and medical ailments

Many of these have their own sets of slang and humorous terms and eupemisms (which should be developed as part of this article).

Anus
Breasts
Bromodrosis - chronic foot odour
Constipation
Diarrhea

Encyclopaedic toilet humour

It is a tradition in the encyclopaedic business to compare other publishers of dictionaries or fact books to restrooms. A current example was Robert McHenry's essay in a web magazine. [1] (http://www.techcentralstation.com/111504A.html).
