On a scale of 0 (you find this completely humorless and, most likely, depraved as well) to 5 (you’d laugh in hysterics at your own wedding if the pope let out a ::frrrp:: during the sermon) how funny is it when someone (including you) let’s 'er rip?
For myself, farting, as with everything in comedy, is all about timing. During classes, it’s a distraction, but with friends and family, let 'em rip and deal with the consequences. Nothing’s funnier to me than clearing out a room, except possibly driving a car, letting one go and locking the windows. Oh, yeah, I have the sense of humor of a five-year-old, coupled with the sadistic streak of a two year-old! True, I’d never do this to my parents, but cousins, brothers, sisters-in-law are all fair game.
My score: 5, no question. I’m immature, but I’m comfortable with it.
I think it stopped being funny when I was 2 years old. Yeah, you farted. It stinks. I “get it” very funny. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Farting in front of people seems the same as shitting your pants, the only difference is that the smell will clear up after a few minutes.
If you’re prone to gas, take it easy on gas producing foods. Or if insist on eating mexican food, take some Beano or Gas-X or quietly excuse yourself from the room to expel foul smelling gas from your anus.
I don’t enjoy fart jokes in movies or TV shows as much, but something happens when my girlfriend farts that just sets me off. I don’t know why, but every time she makes an audible fart I just start cracking up.
I had a roommate who would walk into a room and let one rip, and then laugh about it.
We are not amused.
Believe it or not, I do have a sense of decorum; and while I can appreciate the humour of a well-timed fart in certain situations, emitting noxious gas with the intention of eliciting a reaction is Just Not Done.
Timing is everything, and farts can be very funny. I agree with WhyNot…the unintentional ones are the funniest. I have a very…ladylike friend who let one slip when I made her laugh. It was totally out of character, made her blush and laugh even harder.
They’re also horribly loud if you’re bathing in one of those old clawfoot tubs.
Of course, I never fart. Ever. That’s my story, sticking to it. (And if the ex-boyfriend is reading this, not a word, please. I deny everything. We’re still good friends, but you know way too much about me.)
Let’s see: I get gassy from the following: onions, apples, cauliflower, asparagus, paprika, green tea, cocoa, rye bread, beans… reads like the 10 healthiest common foods you can eat / drink. Things that don’t give me gas: sugar, potatoes, white flour, fat.
So I’ll have the option of farting couple dozen times per day or destroying my health, looks and longevity. I’ll take the former. Luckily I like spending my time at home (IBS sucks).
On the 5-point scale, farts are at least a 5 and maybe a 6, IMO. Every single fart in the history of the world has been funny. The “bean eating” scene in Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest bits ever filmed.
I mean, damn, if we can’t laugh at our embarrassing-but-natural bodily functions, what’s the point of living? Just because we grow up doesn’t mean we have to stop appreciating the little delights of everyday existence.
P.S. I totally farted while writing this post. Hee! Hee!
