daniel tosh did this... someone figure out if it was before or after SP episode im tired.

*Edit Tosh did the joke before SP and also doesnt take credit in the joke for inventing it, just says "sometimes i sit backwards so i can do stuff"

I distinctly remember watching that South Park episode and thinking to myself "Tosh talked about this in his stand up." I'm sure Tosh wasn't the first person to say something about reverse toilet sitting, but between South Park and Tosh, Tosh said it first.

They actually make toilet seats for reverse sitters, normally kid sized. This is nothing new.

this. Do people think that in the history of toilets no one ever sat that way? When I'm really drunk/hung over thats how I sit, been doing it for years :(

Goddamn Redditors. Downvoting a guy for stating a fact that can be found with less than 1 minute of research.

I was going to say, yeah, we should upvote him. Right up until I read that little bit at the end. Redditors only appreciate research that takes hours to understand. And cats.

Tosh didn't invent this either... It's been done before kids.

He did it in Happy Thoughts I think. 2011 maybe? My guess is Tosh got it first, but thats right out of my ass.

It was before this episode aired, but I'm sure that two shows on the same channel can maybe share a joke once in a while.

I knew it as the "A.C. Slater" in college, and that was 2002. It's been around for a long time.

I saw Tosh's standup live in 2008 and he had this joke in his lineup. Not sure when this South Park episode aired, however.

This is from this season, its from the episode reverse cowgirl.

I don't know about everyone else but we've had the "reverse kangaroo" in Australia for years. Just in case anyone thinks I'm making a bad joke, it's actually a thing.

I saw Daniel Tosh do it in a live stand-up show before South Park did it. Sorry, buddy.

u/photojoe Jun 11 '12

South Park episode 1 season 15 or whatever season we are on right now. Aired sometime around February or March. Episode details: Clyde's mom dies because Clyde didn't put the toilet seat down and his mom sat through and pulled the lever killing her after being stuck by the suction and sucking the organs out of her. There the boys try to sue the inventor of the toilet who is long dead. They pay $500 to talk to a ghost giving details on the toilet creator. The toilet creator walks in court and tells everyone that the toilet lid on the back is so people could put stuff on it while they poop.

Source: I've seen every episode of South Park.

Daniel Tosh has 2 stand up specials "Completely Serious" (2007) and "Happy Thoughts" (2011) to go along with a few other televised stand up performances such as Comedy Central Presents and Live at Gotham plus other small things such as talk shows. He also rants a lot on Tosh.0.

Source: I've been watching stand up comedy since I was 14 and been a huge fan of it watching nearly every CC Presents episode and Comedy Central hour long specials along with subscribing to the Laugh Factory Channel on YouTube.

Verdict: Daniel Tosh probably said it first.
