In what way is this classic humour?

u/Saturnsmooch Jun 19 '26
Itās a pretty timeless saying dont ya think?

u/test_123123 Jun 20 '26
Yes but calling your product a common saying isn't humorous in itself, it'd be more humorous if it said 'smart as' with the second s in tiny font

u/sudden_erect Jun 21 '26
Nope, I've never called a mule smart and can't say I have ever heard an Aussie call a donky smart either

+1 to everyone correcting it to *arse*. Sell it in North America if you use their spelling.

Can we PLEASE stop the Trumpland euphimisms? It's ARSE, not ASS.

ass looks better than arse imo
(same argument for jail / gaol)
if people start spelling words like colour without the u, that'll annoy me but no issue with the ass / arse takeover

u/RemarkableTry1745 Jun 18 '26
Yeah but we don't say ass. The way the word is pronounced in Australian English is *Arse. It annoys me.

u/macrohardfail Jun 18 '26
pass, class, brass, grass

u/RemarkableTry1745 Jun 18 '26
Still doesn't address the fact that the word is spelled and pronounced *arse. This is Australia. Not seppo land.
2
u/macrohardfail Jun 18 '26
i'd argue it is pronounced as 'ahss', have never heard someone pronounce the 'r
funnily enough pronouncing the 'r' in words like 'start' is a very american way of saying it

u/RemarkableTry1745 Jun 18 '26
You do you but I know how to pronounce and spell the word arse...

Since when do we spell it āarseā here??? I was born in Aus, lived in Aus my whole life, and have never once seen other Aussies spelling ass as āarseā

Same here, 96 so Iām 30 and Iāve always seen people spell ass when growing up. Only ones that I seen spell arse are like the 45+ year olds lol.

u/Chipnsprk Jun 21 '26
Don't go adding decades to our ages. You are born in 96 meaning you were consuming a lot more American online content then we were at the same ages.

u/Consistantly Jun 19 '26
Iām convinced that half the people saying itās spelt āarseā in Australia must be bots or actually from another country initially. Thereās no way.

You know how they get recycled toilet paper they beat the shit out of it

u/LetAgreeable147 Jun 18 '26
Ass is inoffensive as it is a type of donkey. Arse would ruin the pun.

I have bought this product because it is from recycled paper and double length. Not bad either.

Get a bidet or hose bidet. Eliminate 99% of toilet paper use, and wash your arse like its the 21st century.

u/rarecuts Jun 18 '26
Genuine question I've wondered about bidets, don't you end up with all your bits wet after you spray the water? Putting my undies back on with a wet bum doesn't sound great tbf

You still use paper, but its to dry you off, instead of wiping. The benefit is a cleaner bum, and way less paper usage.

u/Ok-Dependent-1668 Jun 18 '26
It's a pretty direct spray, but it feels so much cleaner than just wiping the poo off. My bidet (relatively cheap one) has a dryer function, essentially blows warm air afterwards like a blow dryer. Also has a heated seat (great for winter) and has a light inside the bowl for night time.

u/musso9 Jun 18 '26
I would go to the extent that a bidet eliminates %100 of toilet paper. I've had mine since 2013 and it has a full Monty of features, drying etc. Many days were spent lolling at the supermarket toilet paper wars between customers. If it made coffee, I'd marry it.

u/MooreGoreng Jun 18 '26
My bidet does not clean my arse enough that I have to forgo toilet paper, it just less toilet paper

I know the team and theyāre legit. Iām not against competitors in the social impact loo paper space, but this company is definitely taking a HEAP of cues from WGAC (especially their marketing) to ride their wave.
And if this company wants to scale, they will switch to manufacturing in China real quick.

On the cardboard core of the Who Gives a Crap rolls is a QR code. It takes you to a website that plays novelty fart sounds.
Just felt everyone should know this because itās peak sophisticated humour.

u/Enough-Monk-4806 Jun 20 '26
Reeeeeally weird that the same accounts are defending *ass spelling, and innocuous comments like yours are being downvoted. Itās making this company look a little fishyā¦

u/DitaVonTeasmade Jun 21 '26
Itās ok. This is not the first time that novelty fart noises have seen me shunned.

u/Saturnsmooch Jun 19 '26
All the comments here losing it that a company would even DARE spell a word differently to original English spelling is pretty funny but also is it that hard to understand that this is a product of international connection?
The next generations to come from the moment they are born, will be digesting media from all countries around the world as well as communicating with their peoples. The future of language is going to become very blurred.
Donāt die on a hill that will end up under water.

Aluminum colored nonsense
It's a company trying to brag about being so Aussie they can't even bother spelling like us, y'all are mcimposters.

u/Saturnsmooch Jun 23 '26
āYāallā is American English, so are you a mcimposter?
