But the staff, quickly realizing that writing humor is the hardest form of writing, hit a wall. Months were spent throwing observational comedy of current events up on the Facebook page to no avail.
"We were racking our brains for hours; nothing seemed to work," said an anonymous staff member. "But then (name redacted) went to the bathroom and, ten minutes later, emerged glowing. 'Give me a laptop.' he said. And we did. The rest is history."
Indeed, it would seem that a visit to the porcelain throne was all the Rotten Appal needed to kickstart their website. After the epiphany, the publication eschewed all satire in favor of jokes that involved bowel movements.
"We considered writing jokes that made people think. But that's boring and hard! Everybody likes poop!" stated one enthusiastic staff writer.
Thus, the culture of excrement would begin. It started simple, popping up in random articles.
The fecal matters were met with overwhelmingly positive response by the community.2. Pinch Out A Poo In Someone’s Truck BedWhile everyone’s off at the game, creep down to Raley Parking lot, jump into someone’s truck bed, lower your trousers, and do the deed.
"I love the Rotten Appal," exclaimed one fan. "I mean, they get me y'know? Like, I poop too and they totally GET that!"
After receiving such a great response, the website decided to make poop jokes the flagship of their operation. Recent articles like "Disgruntled Cottage Students Defecate in Unfinished Houses" and "Caged Porta-Potty Spotted Outside Raley Hall" have been met with uproarious laughter in all corners of the university.
"I haven't seen satire like this since Vonnegut." said one student, who had really only read the first ten pages of Slaughterhouse Five in high school.
However, slowing down and drinking in its success isn't the Rotten Appal's style. They are moving forward and doing so at high speeds.
"We started strong and we want to continue strong," said a staff writer. "We're already looking at different jokes we can implement into the Appal. We're strongly leaning towards 'your mom' jokes and jokes that end with 'PSYCHE!'"
Wherever the road leads them, it's sure to be littered with success. If you don't believe them, just look at their track record. No one can deny the comedic genius of the Rotten Appal.
