Hear hear. I have been known to potty-mouth myself from time to time (e.g.: "that's a new one on me, as the prostitute said about the john"), I think this sort of thing does it in an oppressive and frankly demeaning manner.
Haha, that is a witty line, and I have nothing against that kind of humor in adult company. I would call that intelligent, even Chaucerian pottty humor.
What I am really referring to are really crude scenes in films that are just gross (one scene from Borat stands out in my memory, unfortunately--some sexual encounter between Borat and his overweight manager??) There was a lot of that in the Austin Powers' films, and that ruined that bits that actually were funny.
