I was at dinner with my buddy and his kid, who was like 9 or 10. Fart noise comes from the table behind us, she starts laughing. He tells her it's not appropriate, and she gets this SUPER serious look, goes quiet, then says "dad I feel bad that you don't like farts". Im already cracking up at this point and now she has my absolute full attention. She goes "you laugh a lot less and smell the same number of farts".
Now idk if that's something she read online or if she came up with it on the spot, but she absolutely sold it like it was her own and I think about it every time I hear someone fart now.
Honestly, I think most people could sit listening to those noises all day without even cracking a smile. Forcing a laugh out of someone who doesn't want to is almost impossible, but that would make a dull video.
It's also quite different when you're alone or with people. It's the whole situation and other people's reactions that make you crack up more than the sounds themselves.
The wife and I used to play a large group game where you chant "this is fun" while doing whatever the leader does. If you make me jump around while holding hands, I WILL smile. I have no choice.
Literally. One of the first recorded jokes in human history was a goddamn fart joke, back in 1900 BC. "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
A lot of personal humor is situational. They were likely already feeling pretty giggly by the time they pitched this game. Hence the phrase "You had to be there."

And the winner is.... a recording of a juicy fart that sounds exactly like rubbing a wet balloon

The word "fart" is actually short for "form of art".

Funny, except for the poisonous AI voice. Fuck AI voiceover.

That fart got me too!! It was a very funny fart!
Nekron35
what if I tell you, they also farted at the same time
StudioDerpster
Two factors: 1) they made eye contact shortly before, 2) that last one had a second act, a little something extra that caught them off guard.

Definitely not planned.

Feels like if you make it through the first 3 you’re not going to laugh at it

Farts are the Vogons of comedy. They never bothered to evolve and yet they thrived. Good.

The way I see it, if you chose not to laugh at farts, you're actively choosing to have less joy in your life but the same amount of farts.
tommytraddles
They come out of your asshole. They smell like poos. They make a little trumpet noise. They're the perfect comedic trinity.
DorkJedi
And if you try to hold them back it sounds like a balloon animal asking a question.

Why are they laughing at a fart? These are not funny farts, are they?

We can't all be fart connoisseurs dude, who has the time?

"Situational" because it comes from the body part you sit on?
