or '''scatological humour''' is a type of Off-colour Humour dealing with Defecation , Urination , Regurgitation and other bodily functions. Public reference to bodily functions is Taboo in many cultures. This genre also sees substantial crossover with sexual humour, such as Penis Joke s.
Many artists have made their names exploiting toilet humour:
- Eddie Shit 's entire act was based on toilet humour interpretations of popular songs, including 'Pohemian Crapsody' and 'Space Jobbity'.
- Urinetown , the Broadway musical.
- Some 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 Japanese '' has been praised as a series of "innovative comics that are almost entirely concerned with bodily functions."Devlin, Tom. "King of Shit." ''The Comics Journal'' #238, October 2001, pp. 65-67.
- '' 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 Australia n 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 "shitter") 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 .
- It is a commonly used convention in movies directed by the Farrelly Brothers . For example, their Movie '' Dumb And Dumber '' featured a lengthy toilet scene played by actor Jeff Daniels involving a diarrhetic reaction.
- The band Bloodhound Gang 's songs and music videos feature numerous toilet humour references.
- The show Drawn Together contains frequent toilet humour scenes. For example, Spanky Ham once ordered a pizza and defecated on it, returning it to the delivery man, saying, "Wait, I didn't order this pizza with sausage".
- Blink 182 is known for their toliet humour, as shown on their Live Album , The Mark, Tom, And Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back) .
- In the nudie-cartoon magazine series ''Sex to Sexty,'' one story is that a kid in a bathroom sings a jingle (from a 70s commercial) "Chewy chewy tootsie roll lasts a long time."
His mother yells, "Put that nasty thing back in the toilet!"
Flatulence, or more commonly known as ''farts'', are often used in humour referring to the flatulence length, tone, and the "wetness".
Many comedians start off toilet humour with "One time I had a fart so long..."
Other names for flatulence are: fart (as referred to above), short n sweet, stink bomb, whiffer, toot, and atom. (See also: Shart .)
Sometimes, if spicy food has been consumed recently before a public gathering, one will experience stomach trauma. This will result in juicy excretements in an uncontrolable fashion.
Fart jokes have a long tradition. "The Summoner's Tale" written by Chaucer in the 14th century describes a discussion between a lord and his servant about the best way to divide a fart into twelve equal parts.
