💩 Crappy Niches That Print Money (Yes, Even Toilet Humor)

Let’s Get One Thing Straight — Crappy Sells

In a world where everyone is trying to go viral with aesthetic minimalism and perfectly curated content, there's a dark horse silently dominating the checkout page: toilet humor.

Yes, the "poop niche."
Yes, the "I-farted-in-Yoga-class" energy.
Yes, the Crappy Mug Collection — starring the Sippy Cup of Shame.

It’s time to admit it: crude is cash. Offensive is effective. And if you’re not riding the weird wave, you’re leaving money on the porcelain table.


📈 What Even Is a “Crappy Niche”?

A crappy niche is any product category that:

  • Feels weird or taboo to talk about in public

  • Leans heavily on toilet humor, sarcasm, or shock value

  • Makes people say “WTF” before they hit “Add to Cart”

These niches include:

  • Toilet humor gifts

  • Fart-themed greeting cards

  • Poop emoji merchandise

  • Bathroom-themed wall art

  • Mugs shaped like plungers, urinals, or… well, you’ve seen them

They're not designed to blend in.
They're designed to make your cousin spit coffee across the room at Christmas.


💸 Why Toilet Humor Actually Converts

Here’s the kicker:
Toilet humor isn’t just for laughs. It’s a conversion weapon.

1. 🧠 Emotional Triggers Work

Toilet humor taps into something universal — embarrassment, shame, and the primal urge to giggle when someone says “doodie.” You’re not just selling a mug. You’re selling a feeling people can’t ignore.

2. 📦 It's Giftable Gold

Everyone has a friend, dad, brother, coworker, or chaotic Gen Z niece who would die laughing at a mug that says “Holy Crap That’s Good Coffee.”
Toilet humor turns into a:

  • Birthday gag gift

  • White elephant hit

  • Passive-aggressive office present

  • TikTok-worthy surprise

3. 🔁 Repeatable and Scalable

If one poop joke sells, ten poop jokes scale. The brand Tushy turned bidets into a $200M company. Why? Humor, relatability, and a whole lot of butt jokes.


🎯 Case Study: The Sippy Cup of Shame

🛒 Crappy Niches Worth Exploring (Next-Level Weird Ideas)

💰 The Psychology Behind the Poop

Humor isn’t just a gimmick. It’s a neurochemical advantage.

  • Laughter releases dopamine

  • Dopamine builds connection

  • Connection builds trust

  • Trust builds conversions

In the ecommerce battlefield, being relatable is currency.
And there’s nothing more relatable than needing to poop in peace with your coffee.

🤯 The Gen Z Goldmine

Gen Z grew up on:

  • Meme culture

  • Vine/TikTok humor

  • Sh*tposting as an art form

  • Deeply layered sarcasm

  • ADHD chaos energy with taste

This generation doesn’t just tolerate sarcasm.
They demand it.
They live for irony.
And they’ll throw cash at anything that makes them laugh out loud and feel seen.

So whether it’s a mug, plaque, or T-shirt, if it’s a little unhinged—it’s a lot profitable.
