Overview

The best thing about funny candles is the satisfaction of making someone feel uncomfortable in a harmless, silly way.

Introduction

Ok, so you want to get something a bit unusual, but why would you choose a candle and why does it have to be a funny candle? In this article I'll explain what I think the answer is and why it's such a good idea.

Why are funny candles so great?

There are a few things that make them good. The first one is that they're unusual: most people have never seen one before. Of course there are plenty of them available online but most people just buy from Amazon or supermarkets so they don't come across such things very often.

The other thing that makes them unusual is that they represent something that most people try to avoid: making someone feel embarrassed. Normally we all go out of our way to help people feel comfortable because that's what we've been taught since an early age.

Some lucky people grow up in an emotionally open family where they make fun of each other and laugh about things like farting or farting. But most people don't; they're taught how to avoid talking about these things and to discourage anyone who does.

And because of this, the comments on the label of our Medium Candle - Have A Nice Poo are considered by most to be 'inappropriate' (which is why I called my business 'Mr. Inappropriate').

Ok, so that explains why they're unusual, but why does that make them good?

Well it's simply because it means they're not expecting it!

Most gifts are boring and predictable, but when someone receives something as odd as this it takes them by surprise. It creates a new feeling for them that they've probably never felt before.

What is the best occasion for a funny candle?

I don't know about you but most gifts I get are for Christmas or my birthday. And to be honest it's always pretty boring; it's always some sort of aftershave or chocolate or whatever. And of course I have to act pleased and thank them politely because that's what I was told I'm supposed to do.

The result is that every time I receive something now, I've learned exactly how I'm supposed to behave: pretend I'm happy.

This almost makes me cringe as much as giving someone else something; it's just all so fake!

Because we're all told how we're supposed to behave in these situations we end up acting out this silly little drama where nobody actually feels anything real; we all just go through the motions like we're supposed to.

So if we give someone something real (and a little bit inappropriate) it's going against everything we're told we're supposed to do.

This creates uncertainty for everyone involved which is exactly what we want! It's hard for them to know what's happening and how they're supposed to behave which means they can't simply act out the usual drama; they might well end up feeling something real!

You might think I'm exaggerating here but if you think about it you'll see I'm right; almost every gift-giving event you've been involved with has been totally fake.

I think the main reason this feels like a big deal is because we never really get an opportunity (or at least we think we don't) to do something different from everyone else; we're always under pressure do behave in exactly the same way as everyone else.

This isn't only true when giving gifts but with pretty much everything else too. Just listen carefully next time you're waiting at the checkout in Tesco: you'll hear people having those tedious little conversations about their dogs or whatever, following their usual script pretending that they're interested in what each other has to say. And yes, before you say anything, I am being very judgemental here but that's ok; sometimes we need someone like me to point out what's really going on. If you don't believe me then next time you hear someone talking like this just watch their faces as they talk and listen carefully; you'll see that they're not really listening and can barely hold their attention. Ok enough ranting about boring people now! So back on topic: my point is that giving someone something harmlessly inappropriate like my Medium Candle - Have A Nice Poo does two things: Gives you an opportunity to do something different Gives your victim an opportunity to experience an emotion they've not felt before I'm sure they'll appreciate it once they've recovered :) Now let's talk about whether it's actually worth doing. I mean after all it's not going to change anyone's lives really. Or is it? This sounds stupid at first but let me explain… Is it really worth giving this type of gift? I think yes! And no. Let me explain. I've already explained above how it makes us feel weird when we're forced into a situation like this where we can't predict how it's going to go. If you're like me then you'd love for these sorts of things (i.e., being given weird gifts) happened more often, but they don't. At least not for most of us. It's one of those rare events where there's a tiny chance we'll feel some sort of emotion even if it's only slight anxiety. But unfortunately, even though we'd love for it happen more often, when it does happen we try our hardest not let any sort of emotion show. This ends up making us feel weird because it's confusing: on one hand we want it and on another hand we try hard not let anything show. For me anyway this makes me feel odd afterwards. And yes, maybe you're different from me and maybe you don't feel like this but then again maybe you do. Or maybe you do but you've managed hide from yourself (and others) so effectively that you don't even realise anymore?!
