Talk:Toilet humour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Who dared to remove Urinetown from the list? This is a popular American theatrical show about public toilets???
Some people don't know about theatre, I reckon. There's more to life than TV.
Toilet humour is often reffered to as scatological humour. You may want to mention that in the opening sentence.

So they really meant it when they said that we would cover ALL human knowledge... just a matter of time...

Toilet Humor is so stupid. Just the other day my Toilet told me a joke. He asked me, "What do you call a Chinese person on a bicycle? 'A chinese bicyclist!

There seems to be a misunderstanding about what a euphemism is. Expressions which are widely considered coarse or vulgar can't possibly be euphemisms. A euphemism is something you say in order to avoid causing embarrassment or offence. To list "piss" and "shit", or even "crap", as euphemisms is ridiculous.
Why is Blink-182 listed as an article related to this one? Either I don't understand, or that's blatantly POV. Ed Sanville 23:26, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- I wouldn't say so. Their songs and live performances are full of toilet humour and scatology. That's pretty much all they joke about (check lyrics for Family Reunion, for example). I don't think this could be considered a POV issue when pretty much everybody who knows something about the band would agree on this. – Kaonashi 15:28, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Ah, OK. I know nothing of pop culture. I thought somebody who really didn't like Blink-182 might have thrown them in and hoped nobody noticed. Ed Sanville 00:00, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't see how /all/ of South Park is toilet humour.....
Why does the link "Bow down to the porcelain god" link back to this article? [[Haverton 20:56, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)]]
- Probably because it would be absolute nonsense if it were an article of its own. Caesarion 23:22, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of famous (adult) toilet humour enthousiasts
I suppose that we create a list of well known people (not to say: adult men) who continued enjoying toilet humour while being adult and were or are noted for it. I can list only two examples noe, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Frank Zappa, but I know there are more. It would be absolute stupidity to create a seperate article for them, but a list somewhere in this article would be appropriate. Caesarion 14:45, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lead
"Public reference to bodily functions is taboo in many cultures and thus arouses intense sexual pleasure in many people."
- I don't think saying "fart" in public is comparable to things like child molestation and murder. It would be more accurate to call it a mores instead of a taboo.
- Last I checked, saying "fart" in public doesn't give most people an erection. The sexual pleasure part must be vandalism.

I agree, stating that toilet humor is some sort of sexual fetish is quite absurd Fledchen 02:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] bathroom humour as a synonym
"bathroom humour" ? What's that amusingly shaped rubber ducks? - Come on who the hell calls it that, and with that spelling! Jooler 23:28, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

What happened to the list? Mike 03:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- It has been moved to List of toilet slang. Caesarion 10:04, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- Btw this list has been put on the req. for deletion page; you can vote in favour of keeping if you wish. Caesarion 14:58, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- ... or you can do the work of creating a thesaurus of words and idioms, slang and otherwise, in WikiSaurus, which welcomes editors who want to do that sort of thing. Uncle G 20:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List
The list is deleted by VfD because it does not fit for wikipedia. We have already had this issue in artciels vagina and penis and wherever else. Please don't start it again, here. Wikipedia is not a dictionary of slang mikka (t) 04:14, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Nothing prevents you to expand the WikiSaurus entries. See wiktionary:WikiSaurus:insane for an example. mikka (t) 17:47, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Page moved against policy
On January 6 with this edit [1] this page was moved from the British and Commonwealth spelling of humour to the american spelling. this is firmly against Wikipedia policy and the page should be moved back immediately. Jooler 13:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- I agree and will shortly move it back. It started under the non-US spelling and that is where it should stay. If someone wants to move it, they should discuss it hear first and/or at WP:RM. -- ALoan (Talk) 14:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
This article should not be merged with any other. Toilet humour is a distinct class of humour. Toilet humour is different from sexual humour. Toilet humour is about the toilet and sexual humour is about sex. Generally I think sexual humour is more acceptable and is more pervasive. We crack sex jokes everyday with regards to relationships in our lives and the lives of those we know. But a lot more skill is needed in dishing out toilet humour without embarassment or offence.
[edit] Added External Link
I think the external link to PoopReport.com is helpful, because it informs the reader that this is not simply a subject for jokes. PoopReport is an extremely well-run web site and gives a lot of information not available on Wikipedia. Additionally, a lot of articles there link to back to Wiki, so I would respectfully ask that this reference be maintained.Cadams3
[edit] Spelling
Now i'm nit the best speller in the world, But I thought Humor only had 1 'u'
- Humo(u)r is spelled with the 'u' in British English. American English omits the u in words such as humor, color, glamor, etc. The English Wikipedia does not maintain a preference for British or American English. The policy is that an article shoud maintain consistency throughout for the form of English used. GilliamJF 23:17, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- I changed it to the American spelling in one instance since it was a quote. Feel free to change it back if you think that was an error in judgment. 65.68.145.113 00:18, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] my removal of 2 examples explained per edit summary
rm [[Paska (band), since no indication that the mentioned internal disagreements were about toilet humour rm Poopreport link in body, as it's in ext links and the description doesn't add to understanding the article TransUtopian 14:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Examples
These examples suck. All of them. If I could delete all of them with the knowledge they wouldn't be reinstated, I'd go for it. Spamguy 21:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] American English
This page has once again been changed to American English spelling of humour without discussion. I have reverted it back. DSRH 17:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
