Awful analogy, I'm afraid. Sometimes you need humour to make history interesting, but it certainly doesn't follow (and in fact makes no sense) to suggest that similar logic would find oneself requiring history to make humour interesting. Humour is interesting on its own.

In addition, we must recall the popularity of the Horrible Histories series, whose witty takes on history are probably partly responsible for many current history undergrads (perhaps).

However, I would agree that simple toilet humour, whilst timeless, is not particularly funny. But such a tarred brush should not be used to dismiss Teleklos' other accomplishments in this department.
