Do you consider farting to be a humorous thing?
 
Do you consider farting to be a humorous thing?

only if it is done right in an unsuspecting victim's face and their mouth is open at the time. as was said above, it's not the fart, or farting, that is funny...it is the reaction.

try getting in a full elevator and then right before you step off, fart.
 
HAH... pootabega!

POOTABEGA!


:rofl
:lamo


...In all seriousness. Depends on the fart.
 
it's kind of gross... i'd much rather enjoy other forms of humor.
 
only when there are two or more around to "appreciate" the humor
church is a frequent exception
 
Hell yes, funny! Ya gotta relate to your stuffed shirt brother in law and his equally portentious mama. Dressed to the nines and impressin' de whole world. He be quotin' de Bible, spoutin' his chit, spoutin', pompous, lawdy he be large and out front wid de imagery. Ya' plants a cushion creeper between he and his momma and slips slightly off to the side and asks if he and his momma is still havin' da stomach troubles. The rest of assemblage, and the assemblage should be large for maximum effect, assumes the olfactory attack is directly related to stomach problems and the job is done. Also works in an elevator.
 
I can make myself fart
a little known talent i possess
 
The only thing funny about farts is the wives righteous indignation and false shock, like it was the first ever expulsion her hubby has had.
 
1: Depends on the situation.

2: Depends on your age.

What age? I am about to turn 46 and find them funny.

Farts are definitely funny in the right setting. On the other hand, 99 % of fart jokes and movies with fat humor are not.
 
Hehe, we had a big meeting at work one time, in a small room.
So the factory manager for the whole plant was speaking and a guy just let a loud burp rip.
It's not a fart but it was equally hilarious.

Then you would probably fall into the catagory of #1. ;)

For number 2 kids often find the farts themselves funny.

I can do that after ice cream. I call it 'working up a kiss'.

Like any comedy, it's all in the timing. Remaining stone faced can invoke some of the best laughter from others.

A high school friend of mine wrote a poem about it:

farting
farting is not healthy
farting is unclean
farting is not good for you
farting is obscene
farting

One of the funniest things to do is fart (silently) in church and get "the look" from your wife

In High Skoo, when the room was quiet, I liked to blast one and push my desk back from the girl in front of me exclaiming "Oh Becky".

Its also fun to do it around toddlers and watch moms do a diaper check.
 
Depends on situation - and fart quality.

A fart that sounds fit to kill things - but is odorless.

A fart that is very quiet - but can clear a room.

Personally, and depending on the situation in question, I find both funny - but the former is more often funny, as it doesn't actually cause nasal discomfort - it just sounds like it should.

Also, cushions muffle farts, for those who plan these things.
