9	Simply put, toilet humour comprises jokes about urine, feces (human or [[RoadApples otherwise]]), bums, fannies, willies, other naughty bits, fluids, farts and the [[FartsOnFire immolation of them]], boogers, bodily functions, and various other yucky stuff. It is very popular with young children, but as they grow up, they tend to find greater amusement in more witty jokes (at least, most of them do), and toilet humour is generally regarded with [[HumourDissonance great dislike]] from the eyes of the mature audience. On the other hand, when toilet humour is mixed with {{Slapstick}}, the result is generally viewed as humourous. People falling into manure is good for a laugh across all age groups.
10
11	Toilet humour is related to VulgarHumor. You could say it is the "cleaner counterpart". e.g What did the Pirate find in the ship toilet? The Captain's Log. [[note]]Taken from https://www.keeplaughingforever.com[[/note]]
12
13	Toilet humour is common on {{grossout show}}s and shows with large amounts of BlackComedy, but is not restricted to them. In a show which rarely relies on toilet humour, such instances tend to be {{lampshade\| hanging}}d ("''Oh, [[SarcasmMode just what this episode needs]] - a fart joke''"). Often toilet humour is used as filler, which results in a BottomOfTheBarrelJoke.
14
15	Almost guaranteed in anything with babies in it.
16
17	Before anyone tells you humor was cleaner back in the old days, this trope is OlderThanDirt. A Sumerian proverb, dating to 1900 BCE goes "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
18
19	IAteWhat is the trope when eating is involved. Characters that are {{Gasshole}}s and most instances of {{Fartillery}} are also usually meant for comedic purposes. Compare TinkleInTheEye, NoseNuggets, RoadApples, UrineTrouble, RevoltingRescue, and JokeOfTheButt. Can be played very lightly via CallingYourBathroomBreaks. Humor that involves an actual toilet is often involved in a PottyEmergency (but this Trope often applies there too). You can have some toilet humour without having anything gross actually happen by employing a GrossoutFakeout.
20
21	Not to be confused with ToiletHorror, though the two can overlap in HorrorComedy or in a moment of MoodWhiplash in other works.

122	[[foldercontrol]]
123
124	[[folder:Advertising]]
125	* Apparently, [[https://youtu.be/iK0SobQovME this commercial for baby diapers]] is a real Australian ad. Let's just say that the mother will be cleaning out her car for a while, and hope we never learn what a number four is...
126	* There are a couple of somewhat popular ads that got uploaded to Website/YouTube and other video sharing sites countless times. For example:
127	** [[https://youtu.be/grKO6cGeJFo This Smart Beep ad,]] in which a woman farts in the car when she thinks she's alone, only to discover she was on a double date and the other couple was in the backseat.
128	** [[https://youtu.be/cuZELpIk3bE This Simon TV commercial]] where a woman pranks her boyfriend with her fart. After he gets grossed out by it, she [[BlatantLies apologizes and promises not to do it again...]] only to fart on him after shaking his hand.
129	** [[https://youtu.be/AAkYuEH2uI0 This ad]] for Jamocha's restaurant pulls a hilarious bait-and-switch.
130	* A campaign against secondhand smoke used the phrase [[UnusualEuphemism "passing gas"]] instead of smoking [[DontExplainTheJoke in reference to the gases expelled from smoking cigarettes]]. The ads usually involved one character mentioning he or she needed to pass gas and the others would tell them to go to another room or do it outside as a narrator explained the dangers of "passing gas" in the presence of others.
131	* The "Bleachable Moments" ad campaign for Clorox had a few instances of this. In one ad, a little boy proudly informs his mother that he used the potty. The mother goes to the bathroom, looks at the training toilet, and with a confused expression says, "Where is it?" Then her gaze drifts over to a nearby vase...
132	* One ad that tells people to get checked for kidney disease features a song called "Everybody Pees", which is about people peeing in all sorts of crazy ways and stating that everybody pees.
133	* "[[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/3b/78/6b3b78f190436f31405a24adc1d460d4.jpg Tinkle, tinkle, Little Claire, sitting on your potty chair..."]]
134	* ''Advertising/ClaudeTheCat'':
135	** If gas is mentioned, there's usually a fart joke.
136	** One video begins with Claude digging then saying, "So much for privacy" implying he wanted to go number two.
137	** In one video, Claude describes the beach as a litter box.
138	* The Energy Sheets commercial. The people in the commercial are saying stuff like "I take a sheet in the pool" and such, referring to where they take the product.
139	* The Charmin bears: the toilet paper company has [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Charmin1928 an entire international advertising campaign]] based around taking the phrase "Does a bear shit in the woods?" to its logical extreme. (Apparently, the answer is "Yes, and they use Charmin toilet tissue to clean up afterwards.")
140	** Lampshaded in one episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' (not verbatim): "An ad for ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' was banned from airing due to a woman showing too much cleavage, yet the lewd commercials with bears showing off their asses still manage to air."
141	** A German toilet paper company [[https://youtu.be/B5B8O5Pohrk proceeded to make a parody.]] "Scheißt ein Bär in den Wald?" is the German version and means exactly the same.
142	** And the German version of [[https://youtu.be/S4fqw8ombjw the initial Charmin bear advert]] is even more explicit than the American one (then again, they can get by with more shit on German television...).
143	* One wonders how [[https://youtu.be/hlwOVHP7ngM this]] ad for Luvs Diapers got past the radar. Yes, you saw it correctly. Those babies ''are'' having a competition for...who can be the most [[UnusualEuphemism "heavy duty"]].
144	* This advertisement for [[https://youtu.be/iN7naLLeB0A the Intercity 125]] shows the train stopping [[UnusualEuphemism "to spend a penny"]], followed by a flock of disturbed birds fleeing from offscreen, next to a sign labelled "inconveniences".
145	* ''Advertising/{{Cryptoland}}'': When Christopher asks Connie where he gets his ideas, Connie looks at a public restroom labeled "[[{{Pun}} Shitcoin]]". The camera zooms in on 1-dollar bills labeled "Wipe paperrr".
146	--->'''Connie''': [[YouDontWantToKnow Iiii'm not gonna tell you where]].
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:Arts]]
150	* ''Art/DrinkingBacchus'': Bacchus pissing while drinking is PlayedForLaughs and as AnAesop for the consequences of hedonistic drinking.
151	* Creator/RembrandtVanRijn: This artistic genius also made some drawings of an obese woman urinating and him and his wife having sex in bed.
152	* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Duchamp Marcel Duchamp]]: His {{UsefulNotes/dada}}ist sculpture ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp) Fountain]]'' is literally a urinal turned on its side.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Comedy]]
156	* Creator/BillCosby's famous standup act, ''Bill Cosby: Himself'' featured a rant about how fathers are the most fun family members because they're the only ones allowed to have gas. He also discussed how his father used to blame his farts on invisible animals.
157	* Creator/BillyConnolly's early material featured an abundance of toilet and body function jokes. The most famous example is one where he speaks at length about being trapped in an airplane toilet with the previous visitor's "jobby" still floating in it, not flushing away and being unable to leave because he'd never be able to convince anyone that he didn't do it himself! He's no stranger to jokes about willies and bums either (a joke about the latter pretty much kickstarted his career outside Scotland).
158	* Oh, Creator/BobSaget. The comedy special ''That Ain't Right'' features lighting farts, an examination of the potential literal meaning of the phrase "fuck that shit", a man from Spain getting his head stuck up an elephant's ass, and that time where Bob got garlic diarrhea after eating at The Stinking Rose and then used it to kill a vampire.
159	* Creator/EddieMurphy has a bit in ''Delirious'' that starts off with farting in the bath tub and ends with a turd, a cracked skull and his brother with a G.I. Joe up his butt.
160	* Creator/GeorgeCarlin defines a fart in its simplest context: "Shit without the mess."
161	* Creator/LarryTheCableGuy is notorious for overusing this.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
165	* Gary Larson liked putting outhouse jokes into ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'', though he did have a problem getting them past his editors in the early years.
166	** One of his favorites was one featuring a boy in the foreground practicing his sousaphone behind an outhouse; in the background, beyond the outhouse, stand a cluster of awed onlookers.
167	* ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} has had a few examples here and there over the years.
168	* ''ComicStrip/{{Marvin}}''...just the entire run of ''Marvin'', a strip that seems obsessed with a diaper-wearing toddler's fecal production and his apparent willingness to sit smugly stewing in it indefinitely. (This behavior and the strip's unswerving focus on it is one of the [[BerserkButton bêtes noir]] of Blog/TheComicsCurmudgeon.)
169	* ''ComicStrip/{{BabyBlues}}'': Frequently used as a running gag and is commonly used on Wren. Another running gag has Wren constantly eat prunes and the after-math always has her pooping herself. In one comic, Wren gets diarrhea after eating a whole bag of prunes and stinks up the van, leaving Darryl with a empty diaper bag and a trip the store to get pull-ups.
170	* In a ''Comicstrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' strip in which Pig tries to impress a woman with his travel, he tries to prove he does know whether or not he's in North America by proclaiming [[http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2016/01/10 I'M IN CONTINENT!!]]
171	[[/folder]]
172
173	[[folder:Eastern Animation]]
174	* ''Animation/AachiAndSsipak'' has an entire plot that revolves around a future where feces is the main source of power and the main characters are protecting a hooker who has very... ahem generous bowels.
175	* ''Animation/BreadBarbershop'': In "The Barber of Bakery Town", during a competition with a rival, Bread designs his cupcake person's frosting to look like poop, complete with texture. [[spoiler:He goes back on it, turning it into a golden dragon instead.]]
176	* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': Season 8 episode 11 is about Big M. being stuck floating in the air. He gets tired of not being able to control where he floats and finds a solution - propel himself in the direction he wants by farting. He then runs into an aerial traffic cop who fines him for polluting the air with his gas.
177	* ''Animation/LavatoryLovestory'': This is a cartoon in which a lovelorn men's room attendant falls in love. In one scene all the men in the stalls are unnerved when the woman starts peeking underneath them in an effort to find her admirer. Later, she accidentally whacks a man in the face with her bouquet, causing him to fall into the toilet.
178	* ''Animation/ToobaToobaNoonbory'': "Blast Party" is about the characters getting gas from yams and farting uncontrollably.
179	[[/folder]]
180
181	[[folder:Pinball]]
182	* Fully embraced by ''Pinball/AmericasMostHaunted'' at every opportunity.
183	* Heavily used in Creator/SternPinball's ''Pinball/FamilyGuy'', just like its namesake. Operators can tone it down, however.
184	* The "Joe's Diner" mode from ''Pinball/TheFlintstones'' ends with a large pterodactyl flying overhead and releasing a giant dropping on the diner.
185	* Creator/CapcomPinball's ''Pinball/FlipperFootball'' includes belches, farts, and burps in its repertoire of sound effects. Which are still mild compared to the game's [[ClusterFBomb nonstop barrage of profanity...]]
186	* Inappropriately enough, the ''Pinball/SouthPark'' pinball from Creator/{{Sega}} is loaded with this.
187	* [=WhizBang=] Pinball's ''Pinball/WhoaNellieBigJuicyMelons'' has a horse that's seen shooting a melon out of its posterior. Another part of the play field shows it farting onto a lit match, which launches a fireball (that doubles as a score light).
188	* The "13-UTT" dimension in ''Pinball/RickAndMorty'' causes fart sounds to play whenever the ball hits anything.
189	[[/folder]]
190
191	[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
192	* The 1987 Slammy Awards: In a literal case, one of the nominees for the "Best Personal Hygiene" award was Wrestling/KingKongBundy, who is seen using the toilet to defecate himself ... and it is implied he held it all in (and we mean '''''ALL''''' in) until his bowels finally gave way.
193	* Wrestling/JohnCena occasionally pulls this out for the kids.
194	* Who can forget the time Eddie Guerrero gave The Big Show a tainted burrito, giving him diarrhea in the middle of a match, and then stealing all the toilet paper from the toilet stalls before he got in? And the next week, Eddie Guerrero sprayed The Big Show down with a hose connected to a septic truck.
195	[[/folder]]
196
197	[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
198	* The ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' installment "Potty Time with Bear" pretty much operated on this when it wasn't offering practical information on children's potty training.
199	* On ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'', Baby often makes mention of having dirty diapers with comical reactions from Earl. Some prominent examples include the lyrics, "I take every chance to make a poop in my pants" in the "I'm the Baby (Gotta Love Me)" music video, and the entire plot of "[[Recap/DinosaursS03E01NatureCalls Nature Calls]]" dealt with Earl's unsuccessful attempts to potty-train Baby.
200	* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'':
201	** In "Episode 106: Jim Nabors", Kermit introduces Fozzie as "the man who thinks that Music/EltonJohn is a singing bathroom".
202	** In "Episode 310: Marisa Berenson", a wig trainer tells Louis Kazagger that he doesn't use "sham"-poo for his wigs, only real poo.
203	** In "Episode 504: Music/ShirleyBassey", Statler and Waldorf share the following exchange after the guest star's first number:
204	-->'''Waldorf:''' "Fire Down Below", great number.\
205	'''Statler:''' Thanks.\
206	'''Waldorf:''' Thanks? You didn't write "Fire Down Below".\
207	'''Statler:''' No, but the guy who did had just had a bowl of my chili.
208	* ''Series/MuppetsTonight'': The ''Series/{{Seinfeld}} [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 Babies]]'' sketch from "Episode 107: Creator/SandraBullock" parodies the ''Seinfeld'' epsiode, "The Contest" by having Baby Jerry say that whoever can go the longest without soiling their diaper wins the contest. Baby Kramer proceeds to do his business and declares, "I'm out".
209	* ''Series/SesameStreet'': "Elmo's Potty Time" is mainly educational, but there are a few joke moments, like a giant primate needing to pee and chasing a giant toilet, jokes during a song about toilet paper being made (such as when a large toilet roll is being seen in the manufacturing process, asking, "If the roll ran out, would we hire a truck?!") and kids shouting synonyms for pee and poop, the peeing part ending in a shout of "I REALLY NEED TO URINATE!".
210	[[/folder]]
211
212	[[folder:Radio]]
213	* Creator/HowardStern and his superhero, Fartman.
214	* ''Radio/OpieAndAnthony'': "Fart Equals Funny" is one of their basic tenets.
215	* Listeners are spared listening [[Radio/GilesWemmbleyHoggGoesOff Giles Wemmbley-Hogg]]'s bout of amoebic dysentery during his trip to Thailand, except to be told afterward about it...
216	--> ''...spending the night, squatting over a hole, spraying pint after pint of red-hot magma down the back of [his] legs.''
217	* ''Radio/TheStephanieMillerShow'' describes itself as "a Mensa meeting with fart jokes!"
218	* ''Radio/MartinMolloy'' featured lots of this, which the hosts acknowledged and frequently mocked themselves for. The "Blimpy, the Lactose Intolerant Cat" sketches were built entirely around it.
219	[[/folder]]
220
221	[[folder:Theatre]]
222	* In ''Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix'', at one point, RI delegate Stephen Hopkins is out using the latrine when his time to vote is called; the Congressional secretary marks this as "Rhode Island passes," sending the rest of Congress into a fit of laughter. Later, Creator/BenjaminFranklin is discussing his thoughts about not truly being an Englishman since he doesn't have the rights of one.
223	-->'''Franklin:''' But to call me one without those rights is like calling an ox a bull; he's thankful for the honor but would much rather have restored what's rightfully his.\
224	'''Dickinson:''' When did you first notice they were missing, sir?
225	* ''Theatre/TheClouds'': At one point, Strepsiades is speaking to one of the students at the Thinkery, surrounded by kneeling students. When he's told that they are studying the reaches of Hell, he's quick to point out that their "third eyes" are facing the sky.
226	* ''Theatre/TheComedyOfErrors'': The Ephesian Antipholus starts slinging insults with the Dromio keeping him out of his house and descends into threatening to fart in his face.
227	* ''Theatre/{{Matilda}}'': Mr Wormwood's hair is green due to a mistake and claims it's to celebrate the green things like "lettuce and snot".
228	* ''Theatre/{{Urinetown}}'' is a BlackComedy musical about a [[BadFuture dystopian future]] where, due to a drought, people have to pay to pee.
229	* "Haus of Holbein" from ''Theatre/{{Six}}'' features this line...
230	-->''For blonder hair, you just add a\
231	Magical ingredient from your bladder.''
232	[[/folder]]
233
234	[[folder:Real Life]]
235	* OlderThanDirt: The oldest known joke of any kind [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7536918.stm comes from a Sumerian tablet dated to c. 1900 BCE]]. It's a fart joke:
236	--->"Something which has never occurred since time immemorial - a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
237	** You...[[http://partiallyclips.com/2003/02/05/tent/ sulphurous bastard.]]
238	* Flatuists, A.K.A. professional farters, are people paid to fart on command. The earliest known flatuist was mentioned by St. Augustine of Hippo in his book, "City of God", which was written in the 5th Century A.D.
