Had the Mother-in-law round the other day and she Farts a lot.. a real lot. Getting out of the car. Getting in the car getting up from the Sofa you name it. Even farts climbing stairs, one per step. Our daughter thinks its the funniest thing ever, I do too. Mum-in-law acts as if nothing has happened which I think makes it even funnier. Wife says dont say anything as she will be mortified.
I must confess here I think farts are just funny end of. I cannot fart without laughing even when alone.
So..Has MIL grown out of fart humour or is it a generation thing?
I hope the later. Dont think I can live without this kind of humour once I get to a certain age.
Not sure, I don't fart that often, maybe once a day, but if I've been on the ale, christ I can clear a room in minutes the day after. Sometimes they are so abhorrent, even I feel sick.
I find it highly amusing, those around me don't seem to appreciate the texture of the air, some of them can be pretty violent smelling, this only further adds to my amusement.
Girls grow out of finding them funny. Boys don't. Accordingly, women don't find them funny, men do.
My nan, god rest, blamed her flatulence on a gall bladder operation. 'Trapped air' apparently. I tried to explain that the volume of air required to sustain the previous 10 years would've filled the Albert Hall.
She was adamant.

I'm going to be against the grain here but I can't say I find farts funny. I don't find them unfunny, they just are what they are. Then again I also don't bask in the smell of my own farts either, but I do fart a lot and trying not to fart in the office is quite hard work...

Love that..trapped air.
this has made me realise even talking about farts make me laugh.
Read your post to the wife, she is now even more convinced Im just ''sick in the head''.
Your MIL probably has IBS. It's no fun. Constantly feeling bloated and needing to rip one out but not being able to do with confidence for the fear of follow through is not the stuff of comedy gold.
chvck - sounds to me like the mental burden of your situation has made farting joyless for you. Just go with the (air) flow and let rip, and perhaps the sense of post-fart jovial well-being will return to you?

Paper wedge then. Muffles them a bit but makes it safe.
For me it's the sound, smell AND feel that tickles me. Literally.

Johnny Fartpants of Viz is proof that even reading a good fart out loud can be enough to enduce a chuckle.
''ttthhrruUUUUUUUUp'
'quack!'
'PARP!'

My mates missus laughs at our farting and farts like a bloke herself....
I am literally cracking-up with laughter.
We even have a 'fart stooge here' Farts are funnier when theres a stooge present.

I will concede that there are a few enlightened ones (women that is, an enlightened fart is something else altogether).
If you don't find farts funny then you have a problem with your sense of humour.

I know plenty of older ladies that find farts hilarious, one will quite happily drop one for comedic effect whenever the opportunity presents itself 😀 She's normally a very straight-laced woman!
Farts are like children.
Your own are a constant source of hilarity and pride. Those of other people are disgusting.
My son, aged 3, doesn't seem to find them as hilarious as I do, nor fart with my frequency. My daughter, aged 1.5, does!
Absolutely not. They're one of life's great pleasures. And free. What's not to like?
And even better in the bath.
I don't giggle, that'd be childish, but I do point a pair of imaginary sixguns whenever I let one go

FIFY
Nope, my wife recently begged me to stop eating eggs, i eat lots of em, she recons our bedroom stinks of sulphur, seeps out of the walls apparently.
I find it hilarious when my girlfriend farts. Less so when I do because mine smell horrendous.
My mum, 70, still goes into a fit of the giggles after she announces 'oh I had a sore stomach there'
Well I'm in tears now and thankfully its not because I let one go.
"quack" nearly ended me there...
My wife isn't so impressed. My daughter would be. She also has impressive comedy timing such as sitting down hard or when jumping.
I got funny looks at work the other day.
It seems that when you're wearing headphones, farts are only silent to you. Who knew?

As another STW poster once said, "like a bag of flip-flops falling out of the loft."
The effects of codeine wore off on me yesterday. There was some pretty spectacular bum trumpeting going on in the bedroom to which my wife also found hilarious. I then took some good coffee to get some motion behind it too. Sadly I forgot and banged out another anal acoustic this time followed by bit of splattering. I stopped being brave for the rest of the day at that point.
I'm going to go against the grain as well here - I don't understand why people find them so funny. I find plenty of other things amusing, so I'm fairly sure my sense of humour is still there; it's just that flatulence isn't one of the things that makes me laugh. Still, it'd be a boring world if we were all the same..
*parp*
Sorry, stood on a frog.
Personally, I think farts are the funniest thing in the world. My 4 year old farts when jumping, coughing, laughing, using me as a climbing frame to back-flip on, and we all find it hilarious. They are odour free, purely acoustic. Wife might fart in her sleep and that's hilarious but not in public, typically. Farting in the shower is the funniest though. The water cascading through the trump exit creates a sound like a duck being strangled. If it's a whiffy one in a shower cubicle thiugh, it can be overwhelming, sickening even.
My kids find "Pull My Finger" hilarious!
Rrrrraaaaasssssssspp!!!!
Farts maketh the man
At 32 I certainly haven't. My nearly 2 year old, from the back of the car last week said. "Mammy listen!" then farted followed by "That funny!" whilst his 4 year old big bro killed himself laughing in the next seat. My wife frowned whilst I wiped a proud tear from my eye.
The irony is, wifey is the biggest farter in the house.
I personally love it when my children cough or laugh and a fart comes out.
My favourite moment as a teacher was when a 3 year old was having a tantrum, stamped their foot and surprised themselves out of crying with a very loud fart. Brilliant!
Our little dog (audibly) farted on my lap last Friday. I couldn't stop laughing as he kept glancing fearfully around at his arse and letting out small intermittent scolding barks at it. Until convinced it was gone. 😀
This thread reminds me - the air-biscuit, trouser-parp, bottom-breeze or bum-thunder is rarely so delightful as here:
My 7 year old daughter thinks it is the funniest thing on the planet, to the bottom she has developed a whole "wiggle dance" to go with them, she always lets rip whenever i tickle made funnier by her comment:
"Daddy you know you shouldn't tickle me, you know my tickle circuit is connected to my trump circuit!"
"Daddy you know you shouldn't tickle me, you know my tickle circuit is connected to my trump circuit!
Thats REALLY dangerous if it is common to all!!
My brother (PeterPoddy) and I find Mr Brown saying hello the best thing in the world.
I think I am better in my bum trumpeting than my brother, I have reduced him to helpless tears on a number of occasions, rocking on the floor like a baby, due to my anal fog horn abilities.
I was worried recently I had lost the ability to make smelly trumps. However a recent bout of pant coughs (paaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh or ffffssssstttttt!!) so eye wateringly toxic NATO became involved I could relax and stop worrying. Which also helped things too!
Rob - I nearly had to roll out of the car at the lights that time, I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath, remeber?
That was spectacular that one.
The surprise ones are the best, followed by the saying more tea vicar?
more tea vicar?
....and perhaps a scone?
Is the correct response to this enquiry. Always.

No thank you, it makes me fart.
Well I'm in trouble now, my daughter kept correcting my wife when she was reading her Dancing Ballerina book at bedtime. "She farted onto the dance floor. Her farts were graceful and elegant".
She's taking it into nursery on Wednesday as it's her favourite book.
If I was God for a day, I'd make them coloured as well so boring people couldn't sneak them out...
My mum seemed to enjoy farting more and more as she got older.
