Pretty simple: if something is only funny after you've had two beers then it's two-beers-funny. Good jokes--the kind Ian writes for Rods Tiger--are funny even without beer, so one might exclaim "Hey, that's no-beers funny!" A joke (or Halfbakery idea) whose only merit is that it includes a toilet might be greeted by a long silence, followed by "OK, I find that ten-beers funny. Now go away."

       negative beers funny: how many beers the joke-teller can drink and still present the joke in a way a sober listener would find funny.

       bookworm, I suspect Rods Tiger does that already at times.

       A few sparkling people get really hilarious when alcohol knocks off a few of their inhibitions. Me, I just get relaxed and stupid. (OK, more stupid.)

       five beers beauty - five or more beers before that ugly chick you saw when you walked in and thought "no way!" - then becomes "desireable".

       Probably why not many women drink beer.

       Initially i thought this was some surreal Orwell thing - sort of `two legs bad` crossed with `doubleplus ungood`...   

       However, what with it being friday afternoon, and having just read globaltourniquet`s contribution, i think it best if i just go home and lie down for a bit...

       Two beers funny... that's about an average for this page so far, I think...

       What about my seven-year-old, though? He finds anything toilet-related funny, but he's too young to drink.

       Well, there's the chink in the armor...
