Only Useful as Toilet Paper | comment |
This trope is when literary writing is seen as such poor quality that it's only fit to be used as toilet paper or campfire tinder, (or similar undignified uses). Sometimes it really is that bad, but a common variation is an illiterate or less cultured person using a book for toilet paper or kindling because he genuinely can't see any other use for it. In this version, don't be surprised if the book was a gift from an intellectual character. This is often a comedy trope, but not always. Saying another person treats a given text like toilet paper can be serious, depending on how serious the text in question is. A politician who says a rival "may as well be wiping his rear with the Constitution" is asking for a fight. If the text in question is real, there's often an element of Take That! present. Before the availability of cheap purpose-made toilet paper, people commonly used old paper for wiping purposes. The rural outhouse with last year's mail-order catalog hanging next to the seat is Truth in Television, but not this trope because the catalog had value, it's just on its final cycle of usefulness. Compare to Extruded Book Product, Phony Degree, and Priceless Paperweight. See also Toilet Paper Substitute. May overlap with Useful Book, in very unfortunate cases. |

The Belgariad: As part of her Obfuscating Stupidity act, Queen Layla subtly invokes this trope when she uses a draft treaty to wipe jam off the face of her youngest child. (The ambassador gets the message, but can't call her out on it.) | |

Discworld: It's indicated that the only book Cohen the Barbarian had ended up as toilet paper. The Discworld Almanac indicates that the work, existing in-series, is used as toilet paper by the people of Lancre — basically, they don't have a lot of use for a book recounting their superstitions and farming techniques. The Truth: The waste-management magnate Harry King considers William's newspaper useful for this reason — not only does he use it as toilet paper himself, he pulps it (and other "Low-Grade Paper Waste") into toilet paper for the rest of the city. In this case, however, he actually can't use the newspaper for its intended purpose because he Never Learned to Read. |

Sonic Boom: A variant in "Chain Letter"; when Sonic complains to Tails, Knuckles, and Amy about Eggman messaging him non-stop as a result of agreeing to be his third friend on FriendSpace, Tails tells Sonic to ignore him, the way Meh Burger ignores their customer complaint forms. Dave overhears and tells Tails that he isn't ignoring the complaint forms, but rather using them as a substitute if they run out of napkins. After Sonic squeezes his drink when Eggman messages him for the umpteenth time, Dave tells him that he'll need a two-ply to clean it up, and offers him many complaint forms from a single customer. | |
