The Bottom Line These are them, my fart favorites. I hope that while you read this you either relive these moments, or are looking forward to savoring them! Perhaps they can "linger on."

I am yet to meet a person who does not laugh, or at least smile when a fart is emitted in a movie. Maybe it's because farts are funny, or perhaps these people are imagining the embarrassment the would feel if in such a situation, or maybe I should hang out with different people. I know that my "laugh threshold" for fart humor is easy to reach, but the next ten movies are those (that I remember) that made me bust a gut (pardon the stinky pun) when the fart (or its ghost) came on-screen:

10) In "Spies Like Us" the character Chevy Chase is playing lets a nice one fly at the start of an all-important government proficiency exam for potential candidates for foreign service (spying.) When everyone turns around to look in that general direction (wasting valuable seconds), an innocent colleague of his is forced (after clearing his throat) to say "excuse me."

9) In "Rocket Man," two guys (in space) are connected by an oxygen line during some emergency, when one of them farts silently. After an accusation, a denial, and the sort, the "victim" continues to gripe, finally saying: "now I have it in my mouth!"

8) In "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back," Jay (Jason Mewes) comments to the "hot babes" that picked them up in a van: "Don't you know fast food makes girls fart?" Later, when the four gals have nearly completed a perfect jewel heist...one of them lets out a loud one which trips the alarm sound detectors, forcing them to run for it.

7) In "Crazysitter," two bratty kids almost literally pick a woman out of a dumpster to be their next babysitter, as they don't want their parents to choose someone who will impose any discipline on them. While waiting on the couch for an interview with the parents, she lets a smooth one out, then fans it away. Considering the state she is in, only a singularly stinky one would force her to do this.

6) In "The Nutty Professor" (with Eddie Murphy), the Klump family puts on the fireworks during a memorable dinner with "all the fixins!" There was plenty of food, tons of hearty farts, and extra helpings of everything!

5) In "Mystery Men", the Spleen (played by an appropriately selected and made-up Paul Reubens), has the power to direct deadly farts in any desired direction. During the exciting scene where they take on the entire "Casanova Frankenstein" gang, he puts several enemy combatants out of commission with his pinpoint accuracy and potent "gusts of wind".

4) In "See No Evil, Hear No Evil," we have Richard Pryor as a blind man and Gene Wilder as a deaf one, running from the police (after escaping arrest for a murder they did not commit) and the real killers, and they wind up on a garbage scow. They landed there after Richard Pryor (the blind one, remember?) drove them onto it from a pier. Here is the ensuing dialog:

Dave (Gene): I'll tell you how I really feel in about a minute or two. Right now I'm a little overwhelmed by the STINK of the seven tons of garbage that you drove us into!!!


Wally (Richard): Is THAT what it is?! I thought you let one go! That's why I didn't say anything!


Dave: That's very kind of you! Thank you!

For those sharpies out there, there was no actual fart. But tell me this, when you are watching a thriller or horror movie or whatever, isn't it what the director makes you visualize (not necessarily what you literally see) that scares you? Then here is the fart equivalent.

3) In Caddyshack II, Jackie Mason is at the exclusive golf club in a hurdles-jumping showdown with stuck-up president Robert Stack. As Jackie and horse clear the first hurdle, a loud fart is heard. Robert Stack states: "your horse has a serious gas problem!" To which Jackie retorts: "It ain't the horse!"

2) In "Dumb & Dumber," the part Jeff Daniels plays has just been given a massive laxative dose by a jealous and vengeful buddy (Jim Carrey) whom he betrayed. Upon arriving at the sexy woman's swank home, he darts into the bathroom letting out juicy turd after juicy turd, to a melodic chorus of farts. Once relieved, the woman informs him that that toilet is not flushing. Oops, talk about being up the creek...

1) And finally, in "Blazing Saddles," we have what might be the most famous of them all. Basically, it's a bunch of grimy cowboys wolfing down plate after plate of beans around the campfire, and farting in every style and manner. When one hungry guy asks for more, the boss (after having a lungful of old west air) says: "I think you boys have had enough beans!" I suspect the movie was named for what cowboy saddles had to endure!

Thanks for reading my fart favorites! :-)
