that resembled a whoopee cushion
was used by a Roman emperor
by the name of...
Elagabalus.
And he tried
to get me to go sit down
and tried to,
you know, be all nice
and lead me
by my hand
and-- like he was gonna
see his mother and all...
And I saw the thing
underneath my seat cover
and that blew
all of 'em.
So, I didn't sit on it.
This company
put the word "whoopee"
on-- on-- on--
on this cushion--
whoopee cushion--
and bingo.
Then years later
in the early 1900s,
two factory workers
who were experimenting
with leftover scraps
of rubber...
( farting )
...discovered
that if they glued
two pieces
of rubber together,
they could make them
"farter face."
( farting )
- Man:
Go! Go!It wasn't
the sort of thing
that you would put,
have a big advertisement
in the "New Yorker," you know?
But the thing, you know,
caught on and-- and--
uh, and these were like
mail-order companies.
The owner
of Gem Rubber Co.,
the company where
took this new item
to the marketing geniuses
of Samuel Adams
in the early 1900s,
but he passed
on the product
saying that it was completely
and totally undignified.
You'd see them
in the back of a--
of a-- just a regular
magazine comic book
and order it
and they would
send it to your door.
And it became
part of our culture.
The rubber guy then went
to Sam's competitor...
That one was silent.
...the Johnson-Smith
Company.
He sold novelty items
such as fake vomit,
X-ray goggles,
and a buzzing handshaker.
- ( fart )
I don't even know
if people use 'em
as whoopee
cushions anymore.
I think they buy 'em
just to have it, you know,
just showing somebody
a whoopee cushion
has the effect.
He saw the inherent value
in the whoopee cushion,
and he began marketing
it immediately.
At which point
Samuel Adams then said,
"Hey,
that's a great idea."
And made his own version
of the whoopee cushion
called the
raspberry cushion,
which is what
the English people
call farts.
You know, it's like
Pavlov's dog at this point.
All you have to do
is see the thing
and then they laugh.
- You know?
- ( fart )
( people grunting,
laughing)
Pee-ew!
Go! Go! Go!
( cheering )
Announcer:
Three, two, one.
Oh, hello and welcome
to "Fart by Mail."
You might be
asking yourself,
"What exactly
is 'Fart by Mail'"?
In the back it said,
"Farts just like Dad
used to make."
Oh, that should be good.
( fart )
It's a mail order
fart service
where we send farts
to your friends for you.
( farting )
( man laughing )
Your friends
also get a stunning
professionally printed
high-gloss
full colored
greeting card.
( farting )
Your custom message,
a heinous odor,
and a hilarious
fart sound.
I peeled something
that said "peel off."
It says,
"Smell here."
I think I would
avoid that at all cost.
It smells
like real poo.
Yeah, I guess
that would be from our son.
( man laughing )
Um, I saw a
fart extinguisher
which had...
It was an air freshener,
but it was in a little
extinguisher bottle.
It was very-- very clever.
Quite a practical joke.
It would've been a gift
to give you father.
Um...
You saw the Santa
fart doll.
Oh.
( bell tinkling )
Woman:
On the first day
of Christmas
My true love
said to me
'Twas the night
before Christmas
and all through
the house,
not a creature
was stirring,
not even a--
( farting )
Ho ho ho ho!
Santa Claus was saying
and he let it rip
and he'd laugh
and then he'd modify
to include it.
It was a-- yeah,
it's a strange thing.
And all the cookies,
I hold in my cap,
I had just settled down
to take a big--
It's just--
it's beginning to smell
a lot like Christmas!
( laughing )
( farting )
( laughing )
Radio DJ:
Ooh wee!
Ever notice
how possum taters
- She'll be comin' around
- ( farts )
- She'll be comin' around
- ( farts )
She'll be coming
round the mountain
- When she comes
- ( farts )
I think they
normally complain,
but are laughing
on the inside.
No, we complain
about the smell.
That's a whole
'nother thing.
( chattering )
Lots of comedy
in the UK is actually
based around, uh,
farting, isn't it?
Good-- yeah,
I like the idea.
Bloody good.
He try--
I think when people
onstage get nervous,
they're unable to fart
it's very difficult
to come up here and fart.
When my daughter was little,
she'd sit on my lap
and she'd fart
and, "Oh, my God."
Jaken, you're the king
of walking by someone
and farting
and then leaving.
What do we call that?
( muttering )
whispering:
You know, crop dusting.
Crop dusting.
( laughing )
There was a time
and a place though,
but my Mom and Dad
when we would go
to the grocery store,
my Dad would, you know,
leave one somewhere
waiting for my Mom
to walk in and it'd be like...
( laughing )
Or you're walking through
the mall or something,
you're like, oh my God,
what is that...?
'Cause you know
it wasn't you.
But somebody left that market
and there is no one there.
It was that bad
that it just kinda
sat there for a while.
- ( laughing )
- Never mind.
No matter how hard I pray
My gas won't go away
I'll know
that it's not okay
The foul stench
of flatulence
comes from the bacteria
inside our intestines.
In the process of converting
food into useful nutrients,
the bacteria produces
Fart generating
ingredients include...
What's unusual is,
how loud or how stinky.
That's what sets--
that's what sets you apart.
I think
it's different
f you're the donor
or the receiver.
( farting )
Dr. Wycoff:
You know the odor issue
really runs the gamut.
It probably
relates more
to the type of foods
that you had to eat.
So I don't think
odor is something
that you can reproducibly
or predictably
use as an indicator.
Certainly
a persistent foul odor
that's maybe
different than the past
and continues maybe
of some significance.
But for the clinician,
it's very hard to use odor
as a gauge
of what's going on.
You know, typically
when you have a loud fart,
it doesn't smell.
Female interviewer:
What's worse,
noisy or stinky?
Oh, stinky.
No, it's a smell-noise
thing, isn't it?
No, the smell is terrible,
but if it's not noisy
and you don't know
who's done...
Female interviewer:
Is this true?
Nothing worse
than a silent stinker.
You know, usually
you got the noise maker
- that has no impact.
- ( fart noise )
And then those
silent but deadly ones
that kinda
clear the room.
