gutter humor
Crass comedic style
Gutter humor is comedy that draws from crude, vulgar, or lowbrow subject matter—bodily functions, sexual acts, tasteless jokes.
The gutter is where filth collects, and gutter humor wallows there deliberately: The movie relied on gutter humor to get cheap laughs.
The term is mildly disparaging, implying comedy that appeals to base instincts rather than wit.
