Toilet humour often focuses on the noises and functions of the body.It's often viewed as rude,impolite and childish,although many people find it very funny.There's a hilarious scene involving toilet humour in the film Along Came Polly.Reuben (Ben Stiller) is invited back to Polly's apartment (Jennifer Aniston).After dinner,Reuben accidentally blocks the toilet.In an attempt to unblock it,he uses her hand-embroidered towel (a gift from her grandmother) and an expensive loofah.Eventually,the toilet overflows,leaving Reuben with no option but to leave.
