Brown And Sticky

Brown and Sticky, or What's Brown And Sticky? is a famous poop joke. It is a trick joke, that involves tricking people into thinking that the answer, or punchline, to the joke is "poop". This is also known as a "bathroom mind test".

The joke usually goes " What's brown and sticky? " or " Name something that's brown and sticky. ", with the expected answer from the person you're telling supposed to be poop, doodie, or "A poop turd!", but the actual punchline and answer is " A stick! ". Most wood from trees, where sticks and twigs come from, is brown, and the word "sticky" could easily be interpreted as "stick-y", as in, "like a stick". But poop is sometimes shaped like a stick, though. Sometimes, the joke could be followed up by, " Get your head (or "mind") out of the toilet !" indicating that the audience of the joke thought that the answer WAS poop.

Another version of it is " What's brown and firm? The Brown Family Firm ."

Famously, a kid auditioning/performing on the reality TV show, Kids Say The Funniest Things, wowed the crowd with a variant on this joke, the punchline being " A stick, get your head out of the toilet! ", which he then repeated the joke a million times.
