Fart

About the Fart sound

Comedy's oldest special effect, undefeated since the invention of air. This is the clean classic take — no reverb, no theatrics, just the honest article. It works on toddlers, CEOs and everyone in between, because nobody has ever successfully argued they are above it. Whoopee cushions have been on sale since the 1930s; soundboards simply removed the need to hide one under a chair beforehand. Deploy it the moment somebody sits down in a silent meeting, as punctuation on a video edit, or whenever a conversation has gone on quite long enough.

OriginThe eternal classic. No origin needed; farts predate the internet.
