Patent Application
20250017428
The present invention relates generally to the field of gag gifts. More specifically, the present invention relates to a toilet gag gift device comprised of a receiving area, wherein the device is intended to be placed inside a toilet bowl and wherein the receiving area is designed to non-literally receive the scrotum of a user as a joke relating to scrotal ptosis. Accordingly, the present disclosure makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices, and methods of manufacture.
The phenomenon of ‘sagging’ testicles, medically referred to as scrotal ptosis, is a natural part of the aging process in men. This physiological change involves a gradual lowering of the testicles as the scrotal skin loses elasticity and the muscles become less taut. The humor in such jokes often lies in the exaggerated portrayal of this natural occurrence, poking fun at the inevitability of aging and the often comical discomfort that can come with body changes.
This particular brand of humor has carved out a niche within the broader realm of comedy, especially among those who appreciate humor that pushes the boundaries of social norms and propriety. The allure of integrating this kind of humor into gift-giving lies in its ability to evoke laughter and perhaps a shared sense of camaraderie in facing the universal march of time.
Gifting items that encapsulate this joke entails a creative and often exhaustive search for products that strike the right balance between hilarity and taste. Moreover, the challenge in procuring these gifts is not only in their scarcity but also in ensuring they are suitable for the recipient's sense of humor and the context in which they will be presented. A gift that is received in good spirits in one setting may be deemed inappropriate in another, making the act of giving such gifts a delicate art form that necessitates a keen understanding of social dynamics and individual preferences.
Therefore, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a gag gift device. There also exists a long-felt need in the art for a gag gift device that jokes about the condition of scrotal ptosis. Further, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a gag gift device that jokes about the condition of scrotal ptosis wherein the device remains unoffensive to those with no knowledge of the joke.
The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a toilet gag gift device. The device is comprised of a receiving area, wherein the device is intended to be placed inside a toilet bowl, and wherein the receiving area is designed to non-literally receive the scrotum of a user as a joke relating to scrotal ptosis. In one embodiment, the receiving area may also be comprised of humorous indicia relating to scrotal ptosis. In another embodiment, the device may be comprised of a motion-activated speaker that may place a phrase, song, word, joke, etc. that relates to scrotal ptosis.
In this manner, the toilet gag gift device of the present invention accomplishes all the foregoing objectives and provides a gag gift. More specifically, the device provides a gag gift device that jokes about the condition of scrotal ptosis. Further, the appearance of the device ensures it remains unoffensive to those with no knowledge of the joke.
The following presents a simplified summary to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some general concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a toilet gag gift device. The device is comprised of a basket-like body with at least one receiving area that is intended as a humorous, non-literal receiving area for the scrotum of the user, wherein the device can be placed within a toilet bowl. The area preferably resembles a basket (i.e., woven). The receiving area may be comprised of at least one indicia that may be in the form of a word, a phrase, a joke, a symbol, an image, etc., that may relate humorously to the condition of scrotal ptosis.
The body is supported by at least one leg. In one embodiment, the leg is bendable to allow the position of the device within a toilet bowl to be adjusted. In one embodiment, the leg is comprised of at least one fastener that secures the leg to the toilet bowl.
In one embodiment, the device is comprised of at least one speaker that may be activated by at least one motion sensor. In this manner, when the sensor detects a user is approaching the toilet bowl to urinate the speaker plays a phrase, song, word, joke, etc., that may relate humorously to the condition of scrotal ptosis. The speaker and sensor may be powered via at least one battery.
The present invention is also comprised of a method of using the device. First, a device 100 is provided comprised of a body having a receiving area and at least one leg. Then, the device can be placed within a toilet bowl as a humorous joke intended to play on scrotal ptosis.
The present invention is also comprised of another method of using the device. First, a device is provided comprised of a speaker, a sensor, and a body having a receiving area and at least one leg comprised of at least one fastener. Then, the device can be placed within a toilet bowl as a humorous joke intended to play on scrotal ptosis, wherein the leg is secured to the toilet bowl via the fastener. Next, a user can approach and/or urinate into the toilet bowl such that the sensor detects motion of the user and causes the speaker to activate to play a phrase, song, word, joke, etc., that may relate humorously to the condition of scrotal ptosis.
Accordingly, the toilet gag gift device of the present invention is particularly advantageous as it provides a gag gift. More specifically, the device provides a gag gift device that jokes about the condition of scrotal ptosis. Further, the appearance of the device ensures it remains unoffensive to those with no knowledge of the joke. In this manner, the toilet gag gift provides a solution to finding appropriate gag gifts for scrotal ptosis.
