Oh man, I have the biggest crush on Kate Micucci. According to YouTube, she’s an “LA singer/ actress/ comedian” equipped with a ukulele.
Check out her website, it has some of her songs, acting real and her drawings. The drawings are really fun and silly, kind of reminding me of Don Hertzfeldt a bit (but less toilet humor and violence). This one is one of my faves:
Fun, quirky, and she plays the ukulele. Who could be more after my heart? Here’s her video for “Dear Deer” which is ridiculously adorable. I found it when looking at one of my favorite sites, Uke Hunt.

?? “Toilet humor”? There’s no “toilet humor” in any of Hertzfeldt’s stuff. That guy’s a friggin genius… not sure what you’ve been watching.

Have you SEEN “My anus is bleeding?” I agree that Hertzfeldt’s stuff is genius. Genius and toilet humor are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

I’m not sure if I’d qualify “my anus is bleeding” as “toilet humor”…. Granted I don’t know what happens to you when you go to the toilet, I’m just sayin….
To me “toilet humor” is an insult that means “idiot fart jokes”, not “absurdist gore”.

To me toilet humor is when one derives laughter from something that is gross, bodily functions, certain body parts that are associated with toilet use. No, I haven’t bled from my anus, but generally what comes out of my anus ends up in the toilet (I don’t know what happens to you). I do agree that some of the humor in the segment is due to absurdist gore, but I still think there is a toilet aspect to it. If it was simply for absurdist gore, bleeding from any orifice would hit the same punchline. “My anus is bleeding” is funny in a different way than if the line was “my eye is bleeding”.
I think it’s interesting all this defensiveness. You folks seem to be insecure about the label of toilet humor. It’s just a description, it’s not a word of judgment marking good or bad. Lots of brilliant comedians and writers incorporate toilet humor.
