The Toike Oike is the University of Toronto's Humor Newspaper. At the time of its creation in 1911 it served as a means of serious communication between EngSoc members, notably to provide a platform for the discussion of Engineering Society elections, but over time it has developed into a newspaper whose prime focus is humour. [[The Cannon (Newspaper)]] now fulfills the role of the old Toike. The Toike is run completely by a group of student volunteers and publishes on a monthly basis. Copies are available at news stands across campus and outside the EngCom office in the basement of the Sandford Fleming building.

In recent years, the tradition of "Toiking" has become a popular use of the Toike Oike. It is a form of involuntary make-up application, where the back page of an issue of the Toike is rubbed vigorously against the face of a person. The back page always contains content printed with a lot of black ink so that upon completing the action described, the person being Toiked is left with black ink all over their face. However, this look is not a source of shame, and many students who have been Toiked choose to proudly wear this new look for at least some time before heading to a bathroom to scrub the ink off.
