A person is endowed with the ability to smile even at birth. And it’s just great when this quality is maintained in adulthood. It’s easier to live with a smile, and you can find a reason for it anywhere. Even in such a “boring” office space as a toilet (be it a private home or a public institution).
The toilet is like a throne
When the houses did not yet have running water and sewerage systems, a chamber pot was used as a toilet. And for the nobility and wealthy townspeople, it was placed inside a structure resembling a chair or armchair. As in this photo:
Surely the “inventor” of the next exhibit in our photo selection was not only familiar with the history of the toilet, but also held a responsible post in the early 90s of the last century – the era of wire telephony and monitors with a cathode ray tube.
Well, such a “throne”, given its purpose, cannot be perceived otherwise than with humor.
Toilet bowls with humor
There is such an idiom in the Russian language as “flushing money down the toilet”. By the way, in countries with a shortage of fresh water this figurative expression will be understood literally. And with us, given the tariffs for housing and communal services, such an understanding is not far off. Although, perhaps, the author of this sticker puts a slightly different meaning.
But there are also more “creative” models. For example, a tank built into an aquarium. I wonder if the guest is not aware of the device, will he be afraid that he will wash off the fish?
By the way, a similar model with double walls can be used in a different way – to decorate with a volumetric-spatial installation on a plot suitable for the current moment.
The next photo shows a selection of DIY toilets. Of course, the model with the “smiling cistern” is no longer suitable for its intended purpose, but the average toilet is quite suitable for work. If you look closely, it imitates a head: the tank is the top, hair, eyes and nose, and the lid is a scarlet mouth..
Urinal shape as an excuse to joke
If you evaluate the ratings of different types of plumbing with humor, then the urinal will definitely take the leading position..
The most famous “funny” urinal model is the mouth-shaped faience bowl.
There are even such specimens in which the “lips” are extended by a tube towards the “object”.
Moreover, according to interior designers, despite a brightly scarlet mouth, it is not necessarily a woman’s lips. This is how Democratic supporters in the United States “responded” to Trump’s victory.
And in the next photo, the urinal is completely made in the form of a man’s head..
Sometimes completely unexpected objects act as a bowl..
This is how the pub owner used his old beer keg. Surely, visitors to the establishment will appreciate the joke that the beer “before” and the beer “after” hardly differ in appearance..
Well, such urinals are best suited for a toilet in a Philharmonic or in a concert hall..
Female theme and male humor
In general, the number of jokes around the urinal indicates the originality of male humor. They also like to joke on “this” topic.
This is how you can arrange a men’s toilet. Isn’t it a showcase from Amsterdam’s Red Light District? Moreover, in the middle booth you can see that the sea captain has already made his choice.
And this is a successful selection of photos of girls with different expressions of emotions: shyness, admiration, ridicule, surprise. Each visitor has a choice – where to stay.
And again the same theme, but in an extended version and with drawn characters in anime style.
And at the end of the selection – a tragicomic sample of a urinal. He demonstrates the truthfulness of the statement that the terrible and the funny are nearby – the question is in the presentation, or in the “point” of view.
Could you please provide some examples of plumbing fixtures or tools that incorporate humor? I’m curious to know if there are any quirky or funny designs available in the world of plumbing.
