Wet Day Holiday Origins And Rituals
- Wet Day is a deliberately absurd holiday with detailed rituals created by Scott Aukerman and Paul F. Tompkins to celebrate getting drenched annually.
- Traditions include Wet Day Eve, decorating starting St. Patrick’s Day, wet trees, and patron saints like Poseidon and Urkel as cultural touchstones.
Practical Wet Day Activities To Get Fully Drenched
- Celebrate Wet Day by intentionally getting wet: take longer showers (45–60 minutes), sleep in a full tub, visit wet places, and eat wet foods like soup or poutine.
- Scott suggests practical activities and timings (longer showers than drought-capped 30 minutes) to fully observe the holiday.
Wet Day Creates A Postholiday Replacement Economy
- Wet Day creates a built-in consumer cycle: intentionally ruin electronics during the holiday and treat the following day like a shopping event for replacements.
- Scott frames it like Black Friday: retailers could run Wet Day sales two weeks before to monetize the post-wet-device replacement surge.
