Toilet humour, or scatological humour, is a type of off-colour humour dealing with defecation, urination, flatulence, vomiting 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 jokes.
Toilet humor is most popular among children and teenagers, is often seen as a rejection of taboos, and is a part of modern culture.1
