Do farts make you laugh? Does that old man who called the shit poop in Billy Madison crack you up? Or do you hate manure and jokes and gags associated with it with a passion rivaled only by Biff Tannen himself?

Explain yourself and post examples. But please dont shit on me for posing the question.

Personally I find farts and burps funny as hell and always will.

I rarely laugh at farts in movies, but in real life a well-timed fart can be the funniest thing in the world

If it's forced / expected no.

A random fart in real life can be funny, but it kinda depends on the moment.

I feel like no matter your age, if you don't laugh at farts then you've lost at life. I remember hearing my grandpa chuckle at my little brother accidentally farting at a family gathering. My grandpa was almost 90 at the time. I remember thinking, I wanna be like that.

I find none of it even remotely funny tbh, same for most "gag" jokes. With that said I don't have an issue with farts, either. It's just kind of whatever.

It isn't, but the opposing view in these sort of threads is usually that it isn't because it's revolting, and it isn't that either tbh. Not sure if that's a weird take, but those things just are to me.

A funny joke is a funny joke.

One of the best films of the year The Lighthouse has not one - but several fart jokes and moments of levity.

A friend of mine was a limo driver for a while. On his way into Manhattan, he was caught in stand-still traffic for two hours. He had assumed the trip would take approximately 30 minutes and therefore did not relieve himself prior.

He violently shit his pants in his limo driver uniform, the passengers bailed onto the highway's shoulder area due to the extreme stench and he was subsequently fired and had to pay for the professional cleaning fee of his uniform.

Not sure anything will ever be funnier than him telling this story in great detail at parties for the past ten years.

It being gross or not doesn't take away from a situation where a character is in great shame. Shame will always be an element of comedy as long as we are human.

No.

This and people who post, pun intended, shit when they're on the toilet (pets watching them use the bathroom or "toilet selfies" or anything like that) is like the easiest way to get me to unfollow you on social media or snapchat or whatever. It's digusting - have some class.

99% of the time, no, because it's the lowest-hanging of juvenile fruit.

That 1% of the time when it's expertly inserted into the situation, yes.

If it's well executed, it's absolutely funny.

The anime Gintama is my favorite example of this. There are entire episodes full of potty humor, and the series pulls it off so well that it's always hilarious.

I was at the mall the other day and they had an entire wall lined with that sequin stuff that changes colors when you rub your hand up or down it.

A group of kids were in the process of writing about 20 instances of the word "fart" all over it.

I laughed heartily.

I don't like it in movies or TV shows, it comes off as a lame that someone got paid to write that kind of stuff. In real life though? Spontaneous fart jokes or poop jokes are funny to me. My significant other hates them though, and she gets mad when i laugh at them. Oh well!
