The average human farts in their sleep 1,000 times per minute. Failure to do so would result in waking up with the size, shape, and explosivity of the Hindenburg.

At first glance I thought maybe these were a joke. But they’re not!

Which is very cool!

Apparently anti-flatulence-odor wear is a real thing. More details here.

Principal Shepherd stinks up the school bus in Family Guy's "Live Laugh Love!"

On a loosely related note, does this scene give anyone out there any fantasies or thoughts of Principal Shepherd sitting on their face and letting some big ones rip?

Stan and Kyle Need More Fart Scenes!

This is going to be a very unusual thing to point out, but I just wanted to point out something regarding Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski: for how much they supposedly love flatulence humor, there has been a dearth of scenes showing either of them passing gas at all, let alone entertaining themselves with it. In the show's early days, a simple fart from one of them was more than enough to send them both into hysterics. Now, it seems to have been years since either one of them last had a fart scene.

Right off the bat, some of you might be thinking, "but they still watch Terrence & Phillip." To be honest, I don't think that really means anything. "Terrence & Phillip" has been established as the one TV show that every man in the world seems to love (which, when you think about it, kind of undermines the show's "pro-individualism" pretense), so that, to me, is about the same as saying "people sit in chairs." Stan and Kyle, on the other hand, seem like the kind of boys who not only shamelessly fart around each other, but also treat fart jokes as a cornerstone of their friendship; I even sometimes like to imagine that they use their phones to record their farts and send them to each other.

Another counterargument might be, "but they're more mature than they used to be." First off, they were eight years old at the start of the series and are ten years old now; 2 years is not a wide enough gap of time for their personalities to change so radically. Secondly, I don't think that would factor too much into it. I've read several posts on Reddit written by Redditors who still laugh at farts well into their adulthoods. Each of those posts have one major thesis that they share: the mere act of laughing at farts isn't inherently immature or offensive. As several of those posts have pointed out, farting is a natural bodily function that happens to all of us. What really matters is time and place; the posts rightfully pointed out that there are plenty of events or situations where farting to get a laugh isn't appropriate at all, then go on to explain that the immature part is not understanding or caring about the "time and place" part. As long as the fart jokes are kept between friends or family in a non-formal setting, then you can laugh at farts all you want, as long as you understand that it's not appropriate for every situation.

That's the point I wanted to raise with Stan and Kyle specifically. They're both good kids who are much smarter and more mature for their ages then they might seem at first. However, I think fart jokes should be reincorporated into their schticks as a subtle way of displaying this. They know and accept that farting in public isn't appropriate, and they know and accept that not everyone they meet is going to share their viewpoint (when was the last time Stan tried to make a fart joke around Wendy?), unlike Cartman, who definitely lacks that level of maturity (or any level for that matter). But when Stan and Kyle get some time alone, they should be allowed to fart and laugh as much as they want. I want to see them have fart contests, pull each other's fingers, make fake fart sounds, sit on whoopee cushions, watch fart videos, smell each other's farts, light each other's farts, eat foods that will make them fart, make all sorts of fart puns, and fart on each other to their hearts' content, laughing like madmen all the while. This might all sound creepy to some of you, but I think this would be a nice and subtle way to show that Stan and Kyle aren't immature, just not conformists.

'Nuff said.
