Fart jokes are some of the oldest jokes recorded because despite being the world’s weirdest fetish to admit to, farts are something everyone understands, across ages, languages, and classes. Shakespeare did it. So while doing a collection of the best fart jokes ever could be pretty great, we’re settling today for the best farts behind and on the screen. Because some of the best scenes in the most critically acclaimed films of all time, and some lifelong friendships, all began with farts. From the movies that your grandfather loved to the movies your children love to hate, here are some of the weirdest and most interesting farts on movie sets ever. Yes, it’s a weird list, but you’re the one reading it.
Honorable mention goes to the real-life farts that were recorded and then used in Not Another Teen Movie, and the farts of Academy Award winner and multi-time Green Goblin, Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse. All of the weird, horrid stories below are straight from the mouth of someone on set, sometimes the dealer themselves.
