Transcript
- 0:02I gotta say...
- 0:06I'm not sure how well-defended Castle Grayskull could really be.
- 0:11If a dude with some face IBS and a skeleton man whose best idea of the day is to run the fart monster at the people is almost able to upturn the whole thing.
- 0:24It's wild.
- 0:30Privy is a podcast about bathrooms recorded from my home bathroom.
- 0:38I'm your host, Hunter Hoover, and I love bathrooms.
- 0:42Welcome back everyone.
- 0:43Thank you so much for being here and happy May.
- 0:48At the point of this episode, I'm going to be honest with you, I'm cracking it early.
- 0:53Give a little bit of liquid energy and quick, like not a sponsor, but like
- 0:59The folks at Agape Energy are doing amazing work because that Mighty Mango, the flavor is exactly the flavor of Arizona mucho mango peach tea or mucho mango mango tea from back in
- 1:17the 2000s.
- 1:18You can't really get that flavor anymore.
- 1:20You still get the mango juice, but specifically the mango half and half tea.
- 1:23If you want that itch scratched with a little bit of caffeine boost,
- 1:28Agape Energy's Mighty Mango is for you.
- 1:32But this episode is brought to you by the hottest day of the year so far.
- 1:35And at the point of this episode's record, we are just a couple days into May.
- 1:41Now, full transparency, if you look at that and say, well, man, I'm listening to this not that long into May.
- 1:47Yes, I'm a bit ahead.
- 1:49I'm a bit behind on schedule.
- 1:50I like to usually have some things done ahead of time.
- 1:53uh Life's busy and
- 1:56The kids are out doing baseball, which means there is surely going to be some porta potties in my future.
- 2:03Stay tuned.
- 2:04There was a Randy potty just very, very recently.
- 2:08Very good, very Randy potty.
- 2:09A baffling amount of Cheetos is what I would say.
- 2:13Sometimes you see a porta potty and you wonder how did so many Cheetos come to be involved in the making of this situation?
- 2:20But here we are.
- 2:22But it's this.
- 2:23episode is coming out after so it's kind of like a hindsight type thing.
- 2:29But yesterday, skint, 2026, three days ago at the point of this episode's release was free comic book day.
- 2:37Kids, I hope you guys got your free comic books.
- 2:40I did not.
- 2:41I went to Target to try to score some cool Pokemon related Target swag and I did pretty good, but I also did get beaten by the scalpers a bit.
- 2:51Fat losers.
- 2:53just really got up all the jackets, you know?
- 2:56So these Pokemon jackets, the largest size that they came in was a 2X.
- 3:03And Target only got, my Target only got like two of the 2Xs and they got, you know, a handful of this smaller size as them.
- 3:12But when I watch large bearded, sweaty, pimple faced men walk to the front counters carrying
- 3:21these jackets, I'm like, well, only two of you could have had a size 2X.
- 3:26And I know that because I asked the worker, I said, how many 2X did you get?
- 3:29Do happen to know?
- 3:30He says, there wasn't many.
- 3:31think there was two.
- 3:34And some of these jackets look like size small, size medium.
- 3:38And I know for dang sure, A, that these are not for them.
- 3:42And now you might hear that and go, well, maybe it's for their children.
- 3:45Maybe.
- 3:46But like the fact that when I check Facebook and eBay,
- 3:50later on after that and I see many size small, medium and large of these jackets being sold on the internet.
- 4:02It really makes me wonder if these guys are not there to actually get cool Pokemon swag to enjoy, but rather are just simply looking to turn a profit on Pokemon swag and people's
- 4:16desire for it.
- 4:17I did get a pretty rad Jigglypuff shirt.
- 4:20I'm psyched about that.
- 4:20And I was bummed because I went back later in the day and there was woofy Jigglypuff stuff everywhere.
- 4:25It was like, where's the love for the puff?
- 4:29really puffles my jigglies when nobody, nobody loves the puff.
- 4:34But it was free comic book day as well.
- 4:38And it's been a while since we've dipped our toe into the world of comic books, superheroes and the such.
- 4:49The first Saturday in May is as I stated, national free comic book day.
- 4:57And while on the show we have discussed a number of topics with that notion in mind, we're going to take another crack at National Comic Book Day through the lens of a bathroom
- 5:09themed or a bathroom adjacent comic book character that's really going to spark my particular interest.
- 5:18And it got me wondering, we've talked about the Toilet-nator from code name Kids Next Door.
- 5:24I actually heard they were going to reboot.
- 5:26Codename Kids Next Door.
- 5:27And I got to say something here.
- 5:30I got to get this off at the beginning of the episode.
- 5:32I think it's a horrible idea.
- 5:34I really think they need to quit rebooting everything.
- 5:37They need to reboot less and have original thoughts and ideas more.
- 5:43Rarely is the reboot as good or even when it is good, it's not up to par for the original.
- 5:53I think the King of the Hill reboot.
- 5:55that came out last year in 2025 might be the only exception to the rule.
- 6:00And I'm sure there's somebody out there that's like, no, this reboot was the best one.
- 6:05I don't think so.
- 6:07I think King of the Hill is one of the few that did it well.
- 6:09um It's the best.
- 6:13And you say, oh, but this one was better.
- 6:15It's not.
- 6:16eh Yeah, they need to do less rebooting old crap and recycling stuff.
- 6:23I mean, for goodness sakes.
- 6:25Sorry.
- 6:26I'm Full Soapbox and I haven't even got into our topic.
- 6:31The Disney company is already rehashing Moana.
- 6:36Moana's not that old.
- 6:41There's plenty of older, more well-seasoned Disney princesses in movies that they could drag out kicking and screaming in live action them, but they're not doing it because they
- 6:54care about their IP.
- 6:57They're chasing the money and they do not want the Moana train to die.
- 7:02They don't want Dwayne the Rock Johnson to become old or too frail or whatever to play Maui.
- 7:10And so they got to capitalize so they can make the most money out of it as they can.
- 7:18I'm way off in left field.
- 7:21But in observance or observation or recognition,
- 7:26I don't really know what the right word is when the thing that you're discussing doesn't really matter that much.
- 7:32Like free comic book day is cool and all, but like in the grand scope of things, it's not that pressing.
- 7:40In observance of National Comic Book Day, I thought it would be best for us to dip our toe back into the world of bathroom related and or bathroom themed comic book characters that
- 7:54are very
- 7:55poop and smells specific.
- 7:59And our conversation today is briefly and minorly related to the DC comic universe.
- 8:09I admit, had to do much of my knowledge is due to secondhand research and just looking up things to figure out what's going on.
- 8:18Like what does any of these nerdaceous words mean?
- 8:22It turns out there was two offerings that we were looking at.
- 8:25And I'm going to save one of them for the future because as I took a deep dive into the other, I found that like the well was very deep indeed.
- 8:37And while there's an offering for the future, there's been bathroom related or themed characters throughout all of these comic book universes.
- 8:46And as I dug into it, like a scientist loves to dig through some skeet.
- 8:50We've talked about how much science loves to dig through poop.
- 8:52It's absurd.
- 8:53It's just like, they love digging into poop.
- 8:56If you love science, you ought to love poop because you will probably have to dig through it one day.
- 9:02I found a couple of interesting comic book characters.
- 9:05We're going to talk about one.
- 9:14DC and I had to dig into like woods.
- 9:16Okay.
- 9:17DC.
- 9:17So DC just stands for detective comics and detective comics were named such because back in their earliest days, that's just exactly what it was.
- 9:27They were detective crime comics, comics about detectives with the earliest of them being a crime fighting millionaire named Batman who fights villains in it with an it at night in
- 9:40a mask.
- 9:42DC, however, started out as the National Allied Publications and grew in notoriety as a comic book publisher when they published a work called New Fun, which was a large magazine
- 9:56collection of comic books and comic strips.
- 9:59It was special because it was the first time this much material had been compiled in one place.
- 10:06It was also one of the first time that businesses
- 10:12sold advertisements to be placed alongside comics in the comic book on the comic strips.
- 10:19I tried to look into what some of these ads were because I'll be honest, a lot of times when you hear ads and you hear comic books, you're like, I bet there was bathrooms and
- 10:29bathroom related things being advertised.
- 10:32But there was relatively few bathroom specific ads.
- 10:37Much of them being for home appliances and
- 10:41cars and other like like time-saving things.
- 10:47But that's enough about the brief history of DC Comics.
- 10:50It's not why we're here.
- 10:53Which again, the redundancy because again, the C in DC stands for comics.
- 10:59It's a real ATM machine problem or as I like to call it the house that Superman and Batman built.
- 11:06DC is the house that Superman and Batman built.
- 11:11First up, I should note that out of the gate, I have technically told a lie.
- 11:19While DC did dip their thumb in this superhero pie, just really, wank, just jamming the thumb right in there.
- 11:28DC did dip their thumb in this superhero pie.
- 11:32They are not the only publisher slash company who has worked on and been a part of the franchise called Masters of the Universe.
- 11:48And Masters of the Universe, I have to say, is wholeheartedly an 80s thing.
- 11:55And as much as I did miss the hype on this in a big way, from what I've gathered, Masters of the Universe is a franchise or a comic book series and group of toys that was
- 12:10originally created by Mattel
- 12:15which was a series of toys.
- 12:17Remember they are a toy company.
- 12:19And then later picked up by a variety of popular comic book publishers for limited series in various print runs.
- 12:29Masters of the universe characters are better identified as He-Man, She-Ra or the highly memed Skeletor.
- 12:40We've all seen the Skeletor memes.
- 12:42The Until We Meet Again
- 12:44Skeletor running away or the like the lofty knowledge Skeletor where he's dropping fat wisdom.
- 12:51Yeah.
- 12:51Skeletor is great.
- 12:54And they're all action figures.
- 12:55All of these masters of the universe characters.
- 13:00are originally action figures which have their origin all the way back in the 1980s.
- 13:08When Mattel, again the people who made like Barbie and other such things came up with Masters of the Universe and He-Man, they released action figures with a small comic book
- 13:23enclosed with the toy referred to as a microcomic.
- 13:31This is actually a super impressive feat.
- 13:34And back in the day, the day before YouTube, constant stimulation from tablets and cell phones and Netflix and smartwatches and the interwebs.
- 13:48Having the lore of the toy included with the toy is so cool.
- 13:55Like kids take advantage and take for granted.
- 13:59The lore of the thing.
- 14:01They wake up and assume that the lore of He-Man is just built into like He-Man and that if I don't have it, I can just go like Google it and Google AI will spit out a fat synopsis
- 14:15about He-Man and his many adventures.
- 14:19But before any of that stuff was an option, you had to read, you knuckleheads.
- 14:25You had to open up flipping paper and
- 14:28read the words to get the lore about these beloved action figures and characters that you were playing with.
- 14:38And so, they released these action figures with a microcomic.
- 14:46Through these micro comics and the accompanying action figures, Mattel told a story.
- 14:54They filled it with cool, interesting characters and they built a universe and the masters of it.
- 15:03Not only by putting out toys, but by giving those toys a backstory, some connection to each other and meaning in the greater story that they were telling.
- 15:15It's an interesting thing.
- 15:17He-Man was a roving barbarian on the planet Eternia who was tasked with defending Castle Grayskull from the evil Skeletor.
- 15:29Whoever controls Castle Grayskull controls or is the master of the universe.
- 15:38And so you have the good guys, those who fight alongside and help He-Man in his quest.
- 15:45and defense of the castle, and you have the bad guys.
- 15:50Those who either join or on their own would want to claim the castle for themselves.
- 15:58This is the premise of Masters of the Universe.
- 16:03And via these action figures, we meet a number of characters, some of which would go on to be franchise staples.
- 16:13Others,
- 16:16which would prove to be more limited in their release and popularity.
- 16:22One such villain in Masters of the Universe is a character known as Stinkor.
- 16:39Stinkor's superpowers, if you wanted to call it that, it's pretty on the nose.
- 16:45As are most of the Masters of the Universe characters.
- 16:48Characters like Clothel, Webstore, Buzz Off, Fisto.
- 16:54What did he say?
- 16:57But Stinkor is a skunk looking humanoid.
- 17:01I think I saw one of those roaming in the neighborhood the other day.
- 17:04em There was a ring-tailed
- 17:08rainbow ring-tailed, there was a rainbow ring-tailed thing putzing around the city park.
- 17:15I, I just, you're a grown adult.
- 17:19Like, I don't, I don't care what you think you are, but take the, take the rainbow raccoon tail off.
- 17:27That, that's it.
- 17:29Like you can, again, an adult ought not, and that's all I'm saying.
- 17:39Every adult has things that they cannot do that they might at times want to do.
- 17:45Part of being an adult is knowing that you can't do it.
- 17:48That's what I'm going say about that.
- 17:50No rainbow-ring-tailed adults.
- 17:53But Stinkor is this like skunk-looking humanoid thing with a weird mask.
- 17:59And he or it is said to have super stink powers.
- 18:05And while
- 18:07Stinkor's stink blasts appear in the pictures that I have seen have the stink coming out of the horns that are like on the top of his head.
- 18:17It's in contrast to my role as Stinkor, where in the stink blasts come out of my bottom.
- 18:25I I've eaten a lot of taco meat this week.
- 18:29I kind of had tacos for dinner last Sunday and then I had tacos for dinner Tuesday and then I had like
- 18:35taco leftovers Wednesday.
- 18:37And then it was Cinco de Mayo tacos at church today on Sunday.
- 18:42And my fart constitution has been a bit randy.
- 18:49Yeah.
- 18:51But these pictures show the stink coming out of his horns.
- 18:57And stink orb is known and is called the evil master of odors.
- 19:03Nice.
- 19:05My nickname when I...
- 19:07Yeah.
- 19:07You know what?
- 19:08I consistently have a lot of gas, specifically about an hour to two hours after I eat my fat salad for lunch.
- 19:19He is a race of creatures called the Pelisians.
- 19:25His given name, his Christian name, if you will, was, if you can believe it, not Stink Whore.
- 19:32You know, his mama didn't name him that.
- 19:34That wasn't his mama's name for him.
- 19:37Rather, his Christian name, the name his mama gave him was Oedipus.
- 19:43Get it?
- 19:43Like odor?
- 19:44Like get it?
- 19:48in his description.
- 19:52It states that Stinkor literally quote, reeks of evil.
- 19:58It's actually great because the character's design has him wearing a gas mask to defend against his own stink.
- 20:07It's kind of like on the morning after every time I ate tacos every day this week, I eat and then I'm on the elliptical.
- 20:17And the thing about it is like, there's always this
- 20:23kind of wager with myself is like, can I mid exercise, eke out a toot and A, not have it be so loud that everybody around me hears it.
- 20:33But B, are the people that are near me far enough away to where they will not smell it.
- 20:38Because after taco celebrations, those toots are rolling baby.
- 20:45And they are stanky.
- 20:47Sneaks out.
- 20:48And now you're gasping for air because you're fat.
- 20:52and working out and the smell tells like, smells like, the air smells like taco meat, but in turd essence form.
- 21:00It's no good.
- 21:02Stink whore gets it.
- 21:05He understands and he has the struggle with the plight of the every man.
- 21:12Your stink stinks.
- 21:16Stink-or released with the microcomic titled The Stench of Evil and in it we are told the sorceress who I think is actually like the main good guy in the world of Masters of the
- 21:31Universe I'm yeah it's like she hired He-Man to do all the defending I don't know but she that princess sorceress lady
- 21:44and a character called Mossman are out enjoying nature as one is wont to do and Skeletor is nearby and he sees them being happy.
- 21:56And that won't do for Skeletor because he's just got to ruin some crap.
- 22:03So Skeletor goes and gets his friend Stinkor and asks him to roll up into the forest with his rank beefers.
- 22:11And when he does so, all the animals leave and Stinkor actually got a little rise out of it.
- 22:17So he decided to fart poison a nearby village as well.
- 22:23A bunch of the heroes of the He-Man universe, they can't do anything about Stinkor and his very bad stink because his stanky grunt clown paralyzes him.
- 22:34He fart juiced so bad out of his face hole that they can't even move.
- 22:39It's crazy.
- 22:42However, one of the heroes is safe.
- 22:45Mossman, because his moss traps the stink.
- 22:53He traps Skeletor in the pit, does battle, defended by the shield of oxygen around him because of the moss.
- 23:03And Stinkor is knocked into a bed of flowers, which he says is the worst thing he's ever smelled.
- 23:12See the irony?
- 23:14Do you get it?
- 23:15And then Stinkor runs away.
- 23:18So like, day saved, right?
- 23:23I gotta say.
- 23:27I'm not sure how well-defended Castle Grayskull could really be.
- 23:32If a dude with some face IBS and a skeleton man whose best idea of the day is to run the fart monster at the people is almost able to upturn the whole thing.
- 23:45It's wild.
- 23:47But not as wild as what else came in the packaging.
- 23:54In the packaging of Mattel's original release of Stincor and the forces of evil or evil forces of nature or whatever the heck, the stench of evil, you had one other thing
- 24:06packaged in.
- 24:09Or you should have been, but you didn't have any context for how to deal with it.
- 24:16Packaging on the box for Stinkor reads product has real smell, dot, dot, dot.
- 24:26It's fun.
- 24:28That's exactly how it reads.
- 24:30Product has real smell.
- 24:32It's fun.
- 24:36Couple of things to note here.
- 24:38First, normally when something's fun, I don't need to be told that it is fun.
- 24:47I just find it to be fun as I enjoy it.
- 24:53To me, this is kind of a cry for help.
- 24:57No, it's fun, really.
- 24:59Please believe us about how fun it is and buy the smell infused action figure we have created.
- 25:08The other trouble is the character isn't Cinnamon Apple Pie or Citrus Breeze in Nator, like Cinnamon Apple Pie Woman or Citrus Breeze.
- 25:22Inator man.
- 25:24It's friggin' rank beef fart smell.
- 25:28Everyone until they choke and die stink or smell.
- 25:31Come on kids, get a big huff of our stinky stink or plastic from the 1980s.
- 25:41sniffing this plastic won't have any downstream consequences.
- 25:45One day, there's going to be some strange link.
- 25:52between some adult characteristics in kids who sniffed stink-or when they were nine.
- 25:59What are you doing?
- 26:00I'm sniffing my stink-or to see if he stinks.
- 26:05And what's troubling is that fun that they tried to convince everyone of seemed to have been less fun than they let on because they have made
- 26:19some stink, they have made some stink or merch since then.
- 26:23And as far as my research extends, other than the first batch, the stink ores remain pretty mellow, meaning that they didn't do the smell thing.
- 26:34That is, of course, until 2018 at the summer convention exclusive stink or Funko pop that is just labeled as scented.
- 26:47At least
- 26:49Funko didn't try to gaslight me about it being fun or not.
- 26:55Reports claim that the smell was not but reek smell.
- 27:02Those who have huffed the stink or report that it has a patchouli earthy smell.
- 27:10For those who do not know what patchouli is, patchouli or patchouli, I would love to enlighten you.
- 27:21It is an Asian herd.
- 27:23that is very similar to mint and is known for its strong earthy smell or as Mattel in the 1980s and Funko Pop in the late 2010s interpreted butt reek.
- 27:40But truly is the smell that all the hipster free earth tree huggers run around rubbing in their beards and mustaches.
- 27:48It kind of smells like a
- 27:50stinky old man who slept in a dirty sleeping bag.
- 27:56That is what they made stink or smell like.
- 28:00And maybe there's a lesson in there for all the musky hipsters walking around.
- 28:04You smell like an A's comic book inspired figure skunk man hybrid guy stink machine.
- 28:12But before stink or was adapted into his reek filled chunk of plastic, he was but
- 28:21one of the rejected ideas.
- 28:24When He-Man was finally received well, it made enough money for Mattel to deem it worth keeping around.
- 28:33They decided to make a new show called She-Ra Princess of Power.
- 28:40And as they pitched the new show, they needed some new characters to help round out the cast.
- 28:46He-Man, course, Princess Lady and the gang.
- 28:50And they were pitching it, a very specific skunk themed fart stink themed man was involved.
- 29:00When Stinkor was presented to the staff and filmation who would make the show, he was pitched as a member of the evil horde.
- 29:12However, it turns out Stinkor stunk too hard that no one wanted him in their show.
- 29:21What's dumb is they actually thought Stinkor was funny.
- 29:25When the description was read about Stinkor, they laughed.
- 29:29because Stinkor was essentially a walking fart joke.
- 29:34But at the time they vowed to never put Stinkor in any script.
- 29:41Bard for life.
- 29:43But the series sequel, He-Roh, Son of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, does contain a character named Odar, whose superpower is spraying a very bad stink.
- 29:59in order to knock out his enemies and has a similar description.
- 30:04They never made the show and show and by extension, Odar, mean Stinkor never made it onto screen.
- 30:13In time, Stinkor would make it to the animated portrayals of Masters of the Universe.
- 30:20In 2002, Stinkor made his debut cartoon in an episode called The Sweet Smell of Victory.
- 30:27In it, a white
- 30:28furry creature named Oedipus, where we heard that name before, reveals he is there to steal potions.
- 30:40And even in the cartoon, he wants to use his very good stink powers to join the evil warriors and Skeletor will not let him.
- 30:51One difference in this form of stink or his beginnings was
- 30:56He can't even stand his own smell.
- 30:59In this regard, he is honestly falling into the same tropes as the Toilet-nator or Lou Pottingsworth III, who was the villain we've discussed in Codename Kids Next Door, who
- 31:10wasn't even accepted by the other adult bad guys.
- 31:14It's a weird world that all these bathroom superheroes are not only rejected by the good guys, but they're rejected by their evil counterparts.
- 31:24Stinkor makes less than 10 appearances between seasons 1 and 2 in 2002-2004 of Masters of the Universe.
- 31:34He pops up again in a comic book called Dream Halloween and is last seen in a web series turned Netflix animated series called Masters of the Universe Revelation.
- 31:48Stinkor makes a limited appearance voiced by Jason Muez where he tries to steal a magical item, Muse, Jason Muse, I don't sorry Jason Muez, and he's defeated by two mercenaries to
- 32:04get it back.
- 32:05And that's really Stinkor's contribution to the world of He-Man and Masters of the Universe.
- 32:12I will note, there is a Masters of the Universe movie
- 32:17coming out this summer, so we'll see.
- 32:19But I'll be honest, I'm not hopeful that Stinkor is gonna make an appearance in it, because as I look at the IMDB, like who's in it, and like who's playing what role type
- 32:31thing, it has nobody listed as playing Stinkor, which is kind of a bummer.
