If MLP had a lot of toilet humour jokes, would it still be succesful ?

Cartoon shows that only have toilet humor and poop jokes as their only resources for humor, is pretty much a red flag. If I don't find poop or toilet humor funny in Sanjay and Craig, I can say the same thing for a show that I love. I'm sorry, but toilet humor is not funny unless there is something that ties into it.

I wouldn't be a fan, and I know a lot of other people wouldn't.

 

On the bright side I can promise you a lot less people would look at r34 if it was all poop jokes.

I think toilet humor *can* be funny (I like the American Pie movies), but it just doesn't fit with the show and what I like about it.  So really, I don't think it would work.

 

I mean, I also like Evil Dead 2, but that doesn't mean I want to see Twilight Sparkle cut off her own hoof and replace it with a chainsaw.

Oh the quality mental images I'm getting from this thread already.
 
But yeah, I honestly think toilet humor is a really desperate attempt at being funny that has very, very few good uses.

I think toilet humor sometimes kills the overall atmosphere of a show, because it's like a peg leg or something. >_<

It could be but it wouldn't be a kids show anymore and there are some adults who don't like toilet humor either. I love toilet humor, I am even writing a fanfic where the entire premise of its plot is based around toilet humor (the Apple Family selling bat guano) but the show itself will never ever have toilet humor.

It definitely would not work with MLP.

 

I try to be all highbrow and talk about how fart jokes aren't funny or something to do with poop jokes won't make me laugh, but sometimes they just get me and I find myself busting a gut laughing and then hating myself afterwords, lol.

I'd be so far past this fandom. Like, I probably wouldn't even look at it.

 

As has been said by others, toilet jokes CAN be funny where they belong. And I assure you, they do NOT belong in a show as intelligent as MLP.

Such humor isn't for me, and it isn't for a show like MLP. I doubt nearly as many people would love it if it were nothing but toilet humor. We aren't all five-year old boys who laugh at farts, after all.

 

That's what I think, anyways. I suppose it would be based on the execution.

If MLP had that, it'd be just like any other popular cartoon out there....The LACK of crude humor is a huge part of what made me grow to love it so much.  It's NOT like most cartoons.

No way, that'd be horrible. The only "toilet humor" joke that would ever be funny in Friendship Is Magic is if the Pinkie Sense started twitching and a toilet fell from the sky onto Twilight. That'd be hilarious.

You got my brohoof just for that XD

Pretty much.

 

 

 

Plus you have to remember the show is for little girls, not us... and poop humor doesn't work well with 4 year old girls xD

 

 

Going from this thread alone, even IF the show were for us, it still looks far from a sound prospect.

 

 

Wait a minute... I think there was ONE such piece of humor in the show (that is, if it even counts). Remember The Last Roundup episode where Pinkie needed to rush to the bathroom?

It probably wouldn't watch it and it probably wouldn't be as successful. Toilet Humor jokes are just dull and unfunny, but can work well if it's in the right show/movie/game. My Little Pony, however? No.

I really don't think so, I know I wouldn't watch it if it was full of those.

No it would not. Part of the shows charm is it relies on good plot-lines, clever jokes, and the occasional Simpsons type joke like this:

If it just went full on Family Guy or American Dad type humor it would lose all of its charm. We all watch it, or at least i do, to get away from that type of humor for a while and just enjoy the good story and character development. If we wanted toilet humor we would go watch one of Seth MacFarlane shows.
