You would think it would be a hell of a stay if your hotel had a comedy club below it, and you laughed your guts out at the club every evening, hearing some well-known comedians rant about the similarity between the economy and toilet paper. Travelodge has done just that. They recently opened their 131-room hotel, Bethnal Green Travelodge, above Lee Hurst’s iconic Backyard Comedy Club.
This is not all. As a special gift to their guests, Travelodge has launched ‘Loo Laughs’. As the name suggests, these will make you laugh. When you are in the loo. Before you rack your brains and start getting any ideas, let us tell you that these are toilet paper rolls printed with funny cartoon strips and jokes. To make your ablution experience pleasant and entertaining. Bathroom amenities just got so cooler.
Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge Spokeswoman, had this to say: “To celebrate the opening of the UK’s first comedy club hotel concept, we thought it would be a fun and novel ideal to introduce joke printed toilet roll; so that customers can continue to giggle whilst visiting the loo.”
Reading in the bathroom has now become a common habit among many people, though some studies suggest that men do it more than women (the reasons for which we would not like to delve deeper into). Travelodge conducted a survey among 2,000 Britons to find out their reading habits, er…in the bathroom, that is. It turned out that 49 percent of Britons like to read in the bathroom. Eight out of ten respondents said that it was a good way to do away with boredom.
A Tip: Don’t get carried away, and laugh too hard. If the joke is too funny, you might not want to, well…lose it. But if it is shitty, buddy, you know what to do.
