toilet humor

Bathroom-based comedy style

Toilet humor is comedy centered on bodily functions—defecation, urination, flatulence, and similar subjects.

The term is often dismissive, implying cheap or juvenile laughs: The movie relied too heavily on toilet humor.

Children find such humor endlessly funny; adults vary in their tolerance.
