As with most of Shakespeare's comedies, Love's Labor's Lost is littered with sexual innuendoes. However, the play seems to have more than usual. Patricia Parker takes a closer look in her article 'Preposterous Reversals: Love's Labor's Lost'. In the article she discusses the variety of sexual humor but moves on to the absolutely obscene. Shakespeare, it seems in this play, has resorted to poop jokes.
