Fart jokes, no problem. I love a good fart joke. Burping, Monsters has a really good one. The crude ‘humor’ my wife and I can’t stand is in Madagascar and Robots (IIRC): Characters takes a big drink of something, then spew it all over. The girls love that one. Very easy to reproduce. To us it’s more of an annoying flaw than a joke. ---

> [@WordMan](#): > > We have started an active discussion about how off some of the things are - and also about how stupid cartoon parents are, and how that isn’t like the real world… I tell my kid that everything he sees on television is fake. That solves 99% of the problems. 🙂 While I have nothing against “gross” humor (my son eagerly reads the _Captain Underpants_ book series, replete with references to pee-pee, snot, fake doggy doo, and a man running around in his BVDs), I think it’s funny when it’s in moderation – when you’re using it all the time, it’s a sign you’re desperate for a laugh because the rest of the story sucks. And the best animated fart joke ever IMO comes from _Finding Nemo_ (the bit with the two seagulls), because it’s the penultimate \*\*anti-\*\*fart joke… 🙂 ---

I always thought that was the _ante_penultimate anti-fart joke, but I can never remember the other two. 🙂 ---
