A real Pgh Potty is mounted on a pedestal cause the Yinzer that installed it didn't want to bust no concrete.
my dad built one about 5 feet up with stairs because he couldn't afford a toilette that would flush up to the sewer.
When I was shopping for a house with my move from Pittsburgh to NC, we found one that we were pretty much sold on even before going inside. When we were touring the house and made our way to the basement - there it was: the Pittsburgh Potty. We knew it was the house for us!
Been here 16 years.
And yes, "I'm dahn here", is the signal we use.
Ha Ha. Im dahn here. 😁
I have a basement one here in NE Ohio and use it when the Browns play the Steelers. I call it the Pittsburgh Collector. Go Browns !
@@user-nq8vm2iv9vI take the Browns to the only Bowl they'll ever see every time I sit on the Pgh Potty.
Hey, are you Alan LaQuay from the Crafton LaQuays? Ima Zahn, and now live on Belvidere just above the steps leading down to Afton to your mama's house if that's you.
@@RandallPinkXL The Browns play fair and don't pay off Refs like the Steeler Weepers. Too many calls in the past in your favor was a disgrace to sportsmanship.
Talk about time machine, check out that ZIMA sign 😂😂😂
I had that in my first apartment in like 1998 lol
They don't make Zima anymore?
This is the Pittsburgh Dad content I look forward to. Hopefully you guys go back to this format more often
yeah this is vintage content right here, a minute and a half and every joke landed
"C'mon Bonds, ya jagoff, show some hustle" 😄
Also called a Cleveland Crapper, and I don’t mean the Browns!
🤣
An easy mistake, for Steeler's fans, to make.
It’s the place to put your Cleveland Steamer.
I'm in Cleveland and I call it the Pittsburgh Collector and I use the yellow towel to wipe and flush. Go Browns !
@@user-nq8vm2iv9v "Go browns?" I just did, but I have to admit I've never had someone cheer me on before. It's more than a bit weird. Lol
I grew up with Pittsburgh Potties and I was horrified to learn other parts of the country haven't realized how great this invention is!
You'd be surprised how many other parts of the country don't have basements, mind blowing...
@@chizoramaYou’re right! I’d say most Oregon homes don’t have a basement - the water table is too high!
My grandmother's house in Philly had one. Many old houses in Philly have them. Hers was on a cement "throne" with a curtain around it.
@@chizorama In Texas, you can't have a basement when the bedrock starts only after about 15 cm of topsoil...
@@spantle3888 some of the rowhomes in Chester and other "first suburbs" in Delco had their bathrooms and laundry rooms placed behind the kitchen on the rear for the same purpose, given that in Chester's heyday, besides Sun Ship and Scott Paper, you had the Ford assembly plant (and the related jobs), Medford Meats (now owned by Hatfield), and several terminals along the waterfront.

I'M DAHN HERE!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dont forget the shower and canning stove too!
And the two big ass spiders who live in that shower like they own it. Don't pay rent or nothin'!
holy shit you've been to my house in mccullough. shitter, shower, canning stove, furnace, hot water heater and washer/dryer all in the same 5' high room.
@@rodeleon2875Is your basement all under, or a walkout?
@@MisterMikeTexas hand dug under the house about 5' high. the old polocks who did it worked all day hunched over in the mine so they didn't care.
@@rodeleon2875 Ow! My back hurts just thinking about that! 😞
That’s the nicest Pittsburgh Potty I’ve ever seen! Ours was surrounded by dust and cobwebs!
My first house had a Pittsburgh potty. Never heard of or had seen them before... Thought it was a bit ridiculous at first. Then I came to love it. Now I'm on to my 2nd house with no toilet in the basement and I really miss it haha.
We have a Pittsburgh Potty -- and we're in Denver. But it's probably because dad was from up round Pittsburgh.
Smart man!!
TV guide 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh that brings back memories 😀
"I'm dahn here" is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH!
My grandparents in Squirrel Hill had one of those.
I remember visiting grandma’s haus with the potty and shower in basement. My brother, my Dad and I had to use the shower down there so the girls got upstairs, eventually was 10 of us. That cold water splashing up and off the cinder blocks was freezing.
Was it just a plastic curtain in an open area near the basement floor drain like my 'mums' haus
has? There was a metal soap holder screwed to the block wall and the shampoo and 'cream rinse' was on the concrete floor.
If you only needed to wash your hair my dad had a piece of hose attached to the concrete stationary tub. Just lean forward and scrub your head in the tub...easy. I love the pittsburgh lifestyle!
Also known as the "men's bathroom" or "fortrace of solitude"😂🍻
What if mama or the kids walk in on the old man?
Last summer, a pipe burst in my "good" bathroom. Had to gut the whole room. If it hadn't been for that Pittsburgh Potty, I'd have been in a hotel for a month!
Gotta love PGH dad 👨🏻 I want him to another street lights episode
Those things are PERFECT. That first one was like stepping back in my own timeline.
We call it a Baltimore Flush here in MD. It's very common and gives a lot of relief when you have a one bath house.
The pittsburgh Potty = Matt Canada
🤣
Isn't' he gone down the Pgh Potty already🤔😯🥊💥🤣
The Christmas towel next the beach theme shells is too accurate
The Pittsburgh potty always made a great way to hide the hangover as well. Trust me nobody goes down to investigate after somebody has been down there!
You mean "dahn" there.
Hey Dad, you forgot to mention the stationary tubs right across from the Pittsburgh Potty were yinz can warsh your hands while you’re dahn ‘ere after.
We had a big sink in our house that the washing machine drained into. The times someone bumped the drainage hose out of the sink weren’t great - my sister and I would hear a suspiciously loud water sound while the washer was running at night and run down to find a flood!
When your in highschool Drinking a case in your friends basement. The Pittsburgh Potty helps you from getting busted. 😂😂😂
While I was shopping for houses this past summer, I always got so excited when I would tour one that had a Pittsburgh potty (We had one in my childhood home so I think that's why I wanted one. 😅)
I bought my very first house this past August, and am happy to report it does indeed have a Pittsburgh potty. 😂
I hate to admit this, but my Dad built walls around ours. He used 2-sided glazed 16" X 8" X 4" thick concrete blocks, (That he got from a block company in Ellwood City) and also added a sink and shower. He even put a door on the room. This Pittsburgh Potty, became a real bathroom; he had to bust up the concrete floor to add the cast iron DWV system. This was a big DYI project for the 1950's.
And that....made him a jagoff.
My grandparents had one in Chicago. Also had a shower. Just out in the middle of the basement. My dad carried that in whatever house we lived in. Up on a box or platform. Definitely a throne!
Wish we had Pittsburgh Potties here in Texas! Guess we would need a basement first though. Man, I miss those days. Thanks Dad, I enjoy your videos so much!
Can't argue. All summer long there would be 7 of us at my aunt and uncle's in Freeport and it was always Pittsburgh potty and spot on about steps and yelling I'm down here.😂 they also had Pittsburgh shower. A 18"×18" concrete corner of the basement with a shower curtain made from a tarp. 😂
A tarp?? 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm literally on a Pittsburgh potty while watching a video about the Pittsburgh potty
Have you had to say "I'm dahn here!"? 😅
Our Pittsburgh potty sits atop a concrete slab. It’s literally a basement throne 😂
As someone mentioned, that's a true Pittsburgh Potty as the yinzer didn't want to bust up the concrete floor.
Zima is indirectly responsible for my marriage.
We need a Pittsburg dad video about the pirates doing well for once
20-9 at the end of April last year. Finished 76-86. But this team is exciting. At least until Nutting guts it - again.
Don’t worry, any true Yinzer knows it won’t last…
I didn't know that this wasn't normal everywhere until I was in mid twenties
Even originally being from Jahnstown aka Johnstown, never saw one of these, (those floods were idea killers), until I moved to a row house in "upper," Lawrenceville in 2008.
Plenty of Pittsburgh Toilets in J-tahn……you musta been one of them rich folks from up Westmuant or Richlin……..
Get this man on Footbahlin podcast!!!
Yeah, you gotta love the Pittsburgh Potty, and it’s best to leave it in an unfinished condition. That way it’s easy to clean just get the garden hose with hot water in it and spray it dahn.😂
I just love my Pittsburgh Potty!!❤❤
The house I grew up in in Penn Hills didn't have the Pittsburgh Potty but I am pretty sure it does now as it says a bath and a half. As a side note my family lived in it from 1955 - 1979 and I believe the people my parents sold too still live there. 69 years and two owners. Pretty amazing.
We actually had a "Pittsburgh Potty" on our main floor. It had walls and a folding door for privacy, but you had to wash your hands in the kitchen sink. Long story about why we put it there (YES, we had it installed on purpose in the early 2000s!), but it truly was a great convenience. We had two other "full" bathrooms--one in the basement and one upstairs. But we really appreciated the Pittsburgh Potty!
Steelers fan from Philly here. We got these on the other side of PA, too. Same concept, except when someone comes down the basement, you yell, "YO!"
Thanks for finally doing something other than another Steelers video. 👏
I'm originally from Pittsburgh and it wasn't until I left for the navy that I realized that this was a Pittsburgh thing. I miss my potty 😢
Just gave the family notice that the basement half bathroom will forever be referred to as the Pittsburgh Potty! Thanks, Pittsburgh Dad!
memories of home...yinzer in San Antonio...my gram and paps haus in Lincoln Place..it was right in the middle of the basement haha
Instant classic!
Still hoping to get a third episode of Street Light Stories someday. Pretty please!
Wow, our house is high class. We have chipboard walls around the basement pot and sink 😂. (The poor sink is rusting and still has separate hot and cold taps) There’s even a trouble light so you can see. And, amazingly, a toilet paper dispenser attached to the wall.
We also have a spare shower in the garage.
My mom's house has a Pittsburgh Potty. It's in Reynoldsville, though. That's a hundred miles northeast of Pittsburgh. The reach of the Pittsburgh Potty knows no bounds.
Lived in Elk County for 20 years and saw my share of PPs. Our area was populated with powdered metal plants and a paper plant.
My aunt and uncle have one of these.
We had one where I grew up in Somerset PA 😂
My wife just told me I need one in my Garage. I'm sure it would have a different name but you get the point.
I THOUGHT WE WERE THE ONLY ONES......... OMG. (WE HAD A SINGLE STALL SHOWER DOWN THERE TOO....)
Parents old house in mt Lebanon of all places had one , house had been built in 1920s.
When my dad bought the house late 1970s it did have a stall around it.
Needs custom foldable privacy wall. IE removed closet trifold doors repurposed.
My gramms had one, but was closed off with a shower curtain. Had magazines. Comfy!
We had one of these, but in Peoria hence my name for it the "Peoria Potty". It worked, with even fewer walls.
I'm I Peoria and my house has the toilet but not the showe.
Yinz mate😂
From the town that also brung us Mr. Rogers, and Donnie Iris!
Grandparents in new york had the basement potty. i never used any other bathroom but that one
Zima... Hysterical brother N-At
Love the Zima sign!!!
this is one of the best nnat!
Just lean forward a lil using 'at pot, so yinzs don't bump your head on the cabinet
Glassblock vented winda
High class.
Fan-freakin-tastic!!!
Also a fridge & freezer in the basement.
Talk about crapping where you eat!
Is there a shower?
My grandmother's old house had both in the basement.
Maybe....
Every house i lived in growing & my Grand parents house all had the Pittsburgh potty. Im in New Castle. About 40 min North of Pittsburgh. Its all the same around here though.
TV guide on the memory’s 😂😂
We didn't have one in our house, but I knew plenty of friends and relatives who did!
We have these up in Erie too.
Have one in my house. It was one of the selling points when I bought it. For all of dad's reasons. Leave it in the basement.
Lmao I love the cabinet above the toilet. And who needs walls and a door
Really miss mine
We need an episode about traffic circles…ya know “roundabouts”😂Can’t imagine what dad would say about them lol
My aunt had a Pittsburgh Potty in her basement. But she had it disconnected once laws governing sewer pipes changed. The nearby shower was kept in service, though.
Our house on the North Side has one right next to the coal cellar. It is gross yet gets used all the time. Dont think it has been cleaned since ww2. The beer is on the other side of the coal. 3 generations of coal fights down there- love it!
I live north of Pittsburgh, dahn 28. Got one of those Pittsburgh pottys and a shower to boot.
YES PGH POTTY ITS A STAPLE OF OUR CITY
Wait, So was this where Matt Canada was during his time with The Steelers?
I miss the Pittsburgh Potty we had in the basement of my childhood home
My friend over here in Canton, Ohio (Oh-hiya) has her basement potty sitting up on a raiser. You have to walk up two steps to the platform. You're just sitting up there in the wide open laundry room like a King or Queen on their porcelain throne!
Never lived in a house with a basement or an upstairs. I don't know what that feels like. I'll take your word for it.
and that’s a Pittsburgh basement window for ya as well, though that basement looks too nice with too few cobwebs 😂
We have one!
Got one in my laundry room. 😂
1:15. Dad, who you calling a jaggoff there?? I replayed it 20 times.
Barry Bonds.
@@johnnygrind77 I shoulda known. THANKS.
We installed a Pittsburgh Potty about twenty years ago. It is my primary bathroom.
Those weren't uncommon in Philly, either. I guess in some houses of a certain age, the $300 for a couple walls and a door would have put the basement toilet feature into the category of extravagant.
C' Mon Jagoff!....Hustle!😂 Sounds like my coach Corky, back in Hockey Camp!
As far as I'm concerned it could be a palace but no Pittsburgh potty no bueno
YUNZ..
Us norside yunzers/younsers are definitely a minority. ✌️
@@Atheos-1 see, I'm from A Time Pittsburgh's History, where all the
" Still Milz " and no dark nights.
But I experienced The cultural vernacular
( PITTSBURGHESE ), Where if one said d
Yinz was Nortside.
Yunz was Sothside.
And rarely ' YOUSE ' IZ

But alass, I am often judged by the ignorance
of those who've never heard " YUNZ ".
And then must ridicule me, as to

JEEEEEEZ ?!
What JAGOFFS.
got them in Baltimore too. No clever name for it tho..because.....it's Baltimore.
I tell you what this Pittsburgh Dad episode is TV commercial quality or RUclips ad quality
From Western New York to Pittsburgh this is my parents second bathroom we have a door up and just basically and basically bed sheets hanging up it's a Detroit / Buffalo toilets so I'm getting them a picture of Highmark Stadium Comerica Park
Was expecting you to say cleveland.
Due to the steep hills in Pittsburgh the plumbing engineers put the Pittsburgh Potty in many basements. So if your neighbors potty gets backed up it does not cause a ripple effect in the main bathrooms going down hill. The backup simply comes up the Pittsburgh Potty into your basement instead of living area. Get it?
I'm exactly sure, but, there may have been a Pittsburgh Potty in my house, or in one of my grandparents' houses way back in the day, circa the early Sixties.🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽
This video is refreshing, after nothing but football videos.
