Why Do People Find the Word Poop So Funny

Why do people think poop is funny?

For some off reason... many people find poop just hilarious, and it's the only thing they wanna talk about, and make jokes about... but even when I was a little kid, I've never seen it as even remotely funny. And when people laugh about it, i'm left standing there, like "why is that funny?"

So why is it funny?

I don't know but this gif always cracks me up

Humor works on taboo subjects, shock value and misfortune. Defecating anywhere other then in a toilet is unexpected and often unfortunate, hence has the possibility to create laughter.

I never found it funny. Same goes for farting. Well one time one of my friends try to light his darts on fire outside and he caught himself on fire. I laughed so hard at that one.

  Farts can be funny on OCCASION, but it has to be in a formal setting, like a dinner party, or a speech

  It's not so , much like an actual conversation as them randomly bringing it up to be "funny"
- +1 y
  
  Well, "randomly" bringing up poop is a little weird and immature.

I've been wondering the same thing for years, I thought poop jokes were lame since I was 12 but my 16 year old friends still think it's funny -.-

  It just doesn't make sense... do they watch too much spongbob or something?
- +1 y
  
  Ironically Spongbob is actually a adult comedy the jokes will register more with adults then they do teens and children. And ya it does not make all that much sense.
- +1 y
  
  Spongbob was proven to lower the IQ's of children, and it bothers me that parents still let their kids watch it --- spongbob has it's moments yah... but... for people don't really get the jokes they then take it as "rainbows and hyper activity are funny" :/

  Lol I watch Spongbob and I majored in history during high school and go to ISSA to become a professional trainer, so you were saying?
- +1 y
  
  Point taken, some people are alright, fine, BUT you can't tell me that the people who I've met going "HAHAHA POOP! RAINBOW UNICORNS!" And watch spongbob ALL THE TIME, are gonna turn out as brilliantly as you have, but how old were you when you started watching spongbob?

  That sounded harsh o. o sorry lol

  My sister watches it and she has the IQ possible to be part of the honor roll and a artist lol, father watches it and is a master oil painting, computer genius and a rifleman and IT technicians for the military. The people you are talking about that running around saying those things are either just plain stupid or act that way on purpose to draw attention to themselves. I myself and also a oil painter lol.
