Farts on Film

Oh, come on. No one’s yet mentioned Brent Spiner’s character in Master of Disguise? That was classic!

But for some less classic examples:

Sugar and Spice … an awful movie with awful fart jokes.

Just saw Scooby Doo for the first time… Scooby and Shaggy have a farting competition, and Shaggy farts right at Daphne.

** Roseanne ** did a whole show on this topic when Becky farted in school. It was hilarious (Life is full of little boombies).

Dan Akroyd’s short-lived series “soul Man” had a marvelous scene with a suicidal Mark Linn Baker and a fart.

You mean somebody actually watched that movie? :eek:

How about Shrek. I seem to remember some good farting in that movie…

Barry

Terrence and Philip have made a cottage industry on farting. Asses of Fire, man!

There was a hilarious fart in last night’s Family Guy episode.

As for famous feature film farting:

The elevator scene in Liar, Liar demonstrates the infamous silent, but violent. (which reminds me of another Family Guy fart scene in an elevator).

Robert Wuhl’s “musical” performance in Hollywood Knights.

A subtle one is in Coming to America. Hakeem is being shown the slum apartment in Queens by the landlord when a guy comes crashing down the stairs. The landlord, having no sympathy to the wounded man, scream “Rent’s late, (expletive deleted)!” As the pass the man and climb the stairs, the camera holds on the man’s limp body. A slight but audible fart comes out. Brilliant fart usage.

The only “fart” joke that I actually liked – in The Last Action Hero a gas bomb is hidden in a corpse. In order to activate it, they pull the corpse’s finger. Subtle.

It finally goes off in the La Brea Tar Pits, creating a large black bubble.

In * Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back * there is a fart that sets off the sound detectors.

  • The Animal *, what’s-his-name farts when the Survivor girl is standing behind him. Sorry, I just don’t have the gumption to look their names up…

And plese don’t judge me by my contribution to the thread!! All the good movies were taken!!

Good question. I’ve only seen this movie on TV, where the farting (if there is any) is edited out. I’ve always assumed that in the theater release there was an audible fart there. Can anyone confirm?

Say, Cal, for a guy with a distaste for fart jokes, you seem to be keeping a close eye on this thread. :wink:

Admit it: you love fart humor!

Anybody got a match?

He ripped his pants while doing the splits.

Y Tu Mama Tambien…There’s a couple non-audible, where the two boys are driving together and one asks the other if he smells bread. much callbrone (sp?) calling ensues.

Shrek: No, that’s not me… Trust me donkey, if it had been me, you’ll be dead!! (sniffs around) it’s sulfur…

[sub]Little niece loves that movie so much, I had no choice but to remember the dialog.[/sub]

In the much-overlooked, but wonderful comedy, “S.O.B.”, there’s a scene with Robert Webber[sp.?] where he is experiencing, shall we say, lower bowel discomfort. His character’s pain and helplessness, fueled by drink, are achingly funny to watch.

Rain Man

“Uh oh, fart.”

There’s one in “American Grafitti”, when Curt is riding around with the Pharohs.

I don’t know it he was ever filmed, but there was a French Vaudeville artist called the Fartiste who was hugely popular around the turn of the century. He did a whole routine of different farts. Amazing control!

His stage name was Le Petomane. He could control his odorless[a big selling point,according to him] to the point where he could play notes on certain musical instruments. His impressions included a whole battery of different people farting, from a shy nun to a rough stevedore. He was highly payed for the time, and I believe he lived to a ripe(!) old age. Undoubtedly, there is a lengthly piece about him right here on the good ol’ SDMB.

For the love of God, people: PINK FLAMINGOS!

The master airs the truth about The Fartiste.

Flatulance has always been a source of universal, though juvenile, humor. Although this thread makes me wonder if it’s ever been used in a movie and not played for comic effect.

Sally Field farts in Murphy’s Romance.

And what? No one has mentioned Jack Nicholson in Anger Management?

Lest we forget, Blake Edwards “10” had a classic…

Dudley Moore is talking to the minister who married Bo and her husband, when in walks “Mrs. Kissel”. Little old lady stumbles
through the scene, breaks wind, and the Great Dane in the room goes running. The classic ( for me) line is…
“Whenever Mrs. Kissel breaks wind, we beat the dog…”
Still brings a chuckle…

I am very happy that I’ve never seen Pink Flamingos, especially for the dog poop scene.
