I agree with you that they go way overboard on the bathroom humor, but I
like a lot of the show's other parts. Howard's monologues and
conversational segments are great. He and I are actually pretty closely
aligned politically. He has a lot of common sense. I also enjoy it when
they get into the crazy personal lives of the staff (Richard cracks me
up. I grew up with guys like that). A lot of the phony phone calls are
pretty funny, too.
Have you heard this one? Maybe I posted it before. I think it's my fav.
Just to set it up, the day before, Howard had done a long monologue,
scolding his almost uniformly obese staff by telling them what he eats
every day and how he stays so thin with good food choices and
discipline. As example of his discipline, he told a story about his
favorite restaurant sending him the wrong order, and how he had the
discipline to just throw out the bad stuff.
The next day Sal and Richard cut up the audio of the rant and used
different snippets to do a phony phone call on a poor, unsuspecting
restaurant worker:

Come on....that's funny!
> Amazing how much this guy makes. 80 mil. Robin makes 10 million. Good for her.
That may be true, but Howard has repeatedly stressed that almost nobody
really knows how much he makes, and that every estimation he has read in
the press about his salary and net worth are wildly exaggerated.
