Cholo:
Oh man, how about Rodney Dangerfield’s famous fart in Caddyshack ?
You know…“Did someone step on a duck?”
Too funny!
I can’t believe it took this long to mention this one. This is the line that we all used in college when we farted. Sure, it’s immature, but farts are one of the first things fathers and sons bond over. Or a Grandfather. Farts are hilarity at the most basic biological level.
Everyone laughs at a good fart!
And the younger you are or the older you are, farting out loud without apology is socially tolerated, if not outright permitted.
Has anyone ever done a sociological study of the fart and its importance in culture? I think they should.
And that’s not even the most disturbing thing in that movie.

Speaking of Leslie Nielsen, he farted on the Arsenio Hall show. In the middle of the interview segment he scooted over and let one rip. To my knowledge, no one else has ever audibly farted like that on TV.
Leslie was a big fan of the fart machine and would often pretend to rip one during interviews.

Whoopie Goldberg supposedly tooted on “The View” and then made a remark about barking spiders.
I just watched the Adam Sandler opus, “Click” and there is a scene in there where his boss doesn’t give him a promotion. Sandler using, his magic remote, pauses everything and proceeds to fart right in his bosses face several times. It’s,ummmm, very Sandler-esque.
Forgot about Bio-Dome where Stephen Baldwin and Pauly Shore try to identify the compounds that caused the odor of a particular fart.
“Beavis and Butthead Do America”, this still makes me laugh:
There’s so much to enjoy in THIS SCENE from the movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back that the actual fart joke is mere icing on the cake. So to speak.

In Bruce Almighty, Jim Carrey makes his rival newscaster (Steve Carrell) fart on camera.
Whoopi’s very name is derived from “Whoopie Cushions”. She reportedly had a Leslie Nielsen-esque fondness for fart jokes.
Her stage name, Whoopi, was taken from a whoopee cushion; she has stated that “If you get a little gassy, you’ve got to let it go. So people used to say to me, ‘You’re like a whoopee cushion.’ And that’s where the name came from.”[

Goldberg began her career on stage in 1983 with her one-woman show, Spook ...

Username/post combo is rather appropriate here. First word of username, anyway.
