Apparently those poop jokes that permeate schoolyards have a long and rich history.
A carving from ancient Babylonian times is believed to contain history’s oldest recorded joke. It’s a joke about flatulence.
Considering the joke is thousands of years old, it stands to reason that nearly ever permutation of fart and poop jokes has already been made. That means it’s probably time for comedians to stop including such jokes in their sets.
A couple weeks back the Stand-Up Spotlight led with a story about how the platform OnlyFans is courting comedy.

Make the funny new again.
