The Science of Farts

↓↓↓ More info and sources below ↓↓↓

Farting is hilarious and gross and everyone is doing it so why can’t we talk about the science of it?! Flatulence, passing gas, cutting the cheese, toots… whatever you call it, it's natural and here's how it works.

I've had someone say, "bless you" when I farted while waiting for a train. We stared at each other for at least 10 seconds, and then I nodded.

Imagine if we thought fart was a normal thing and sneezing was funny.

Thanks for passing this along, Joe! I didn't expect you to go sulfur into the material, butt it's appreciated.

Did you ever noticed that the word bed is actually shaped like a bed

Is the average person farts 11 to 20 times A-day Finally something I'm above average at.

I've been dating my girlfriend for 5 years and somehow she's never made audible fart in my presence.... until this past Sunday. She was napping, and I thought she was snoring, which she does sometimes....then my leg got warm....and the smell...I was proud, and happy to know she isn't actually a government robot sent to spy on me

Farts smell so deaf people can enjoy em too

It's Okay To Be Fart

Dang, I was hoping you'd go into more depth on the different categories of farts - like my friends and I did as kids. We subdivided farts into SBDs (you all know what that means), "puffs, " "juicers, " and "blasters." So - please - feel free to pick up on that research and let it go all out.

"Founding Farter Benjamin Franklin" made me guffaw out loud.

I stumbled across these videos and fell in love. Joe is hilarious with his dad jokes and puns. Very well done 🤙🏼

[wholeNwon]

When you get old, never trust a fart.

[joshuadeyoung]

This episode really reeked with puns.
keep up the good work

My 10 year old is now, officially, your BIGGEST fan.

[jessmjfan]

The fact that I actually looked this up on youtube makes me question what am I doing with my life.
I laughed so hard as I was typing it.

[carverredacted]

Oh, Joe. You're such a dad. And that was indeed a horrible Shrek impression.

[seluinitaufa]

Omg it’s 2am and I’m here. How can’t wait to share all this info with friends and family!!!

[ninogaggi]

This is the video I didn’t know I wanted to know

[melissahall]
