The best version I’ve found is Trillblow Records’ recording Battle at Thunderblow, Windesmear vs. Now if you’ve never heard The Great Crepitation Contest of 1946, then, I hope this doesn’t spoil it for you. But I was more than happy to return the “favor” in sending Lindsay something she’d never heard of, the legendary recording of The Great Crepitation Contest of 1946, more popularly known as “The Farting Contest,” since crepitation concerns a number of obscure and unpleasant medical anomalies (for example, “noise or vibration produced by rubbing bone or irregular degenerated cartilage surfaces together as in arthritis and other conditions”), in addition to the comparatively innocuous “a dry, crackling sound or sensation.” The closest we can get to our purposes would be: “‘Crunching’ of tissue caused by presence of gas, which may occur in lung disease.” Fortunately though, these farts won’t clear a room.”īut really, I don’t give a shit about any of this (or, for that matter, Prank Star’s brown Poo-Dough take on Play-Dough (“Looks like the real thing…smells much better!”). “And what’s not to love about bubbles? So when you combine the two, you really get the best of both worlds–the fun of a bubble maker with the silliness of a fart. “There’s no denying that farts are always funny, for all ages,” quoth the publicist, Lindsay Edwards. Then in May, Prank Star introduced two new Spring 2015 fart items: Fart Bubbles, “for those looking to blow out ‘lightly-scented’ fart bubbles with a unique bubble wand that features a gas mask topper,” and the motorized Fart Bubble Gun, which “blasts out a strong stream of cherry-scented fart bubbles, accompanied by real farting sounds that bring out the giggles in anyone!” Includes 6 Different Sound Libraries and ‘Try Me’ Packaging to Play Songs in the Store. Creating Musical Masterpieces with Gaseous Body Sounds! Cough, Sneeze, and Belch your way to the Top of the Charts. Requires 3 AAA Batteries.”Īnd for the truly talented, the Fart Piano lets you “Discover your True Inner Talent. Press the Button on the Remote and Trigger an Array of Farts on the Fart Box–Even Through Walls. Includes 1 AAA Battery.”īut wait! There’s more! The RC Mega Fart allows you to “Cut the Cheese at up to 20 Feet Away. The Built-In Motion Sensor causes a Fart to Release when Someone Sits Down or Moves. Additionally, it is the Ultimate High-Tech Whoopee Cushion. Then came the iFart Shuffle: “Who needs iTunes?!? The iFart Shuffle lets you Scroll through All of Your Favorite Farts with the Push of a Button. One publicist in particular very much enjoyed showing me several modern variations on a classic theme, the Whoopie Cushion, at the Skyrocket Toys booth, which actually fielded a whole array of fart goods from its Prank Star line in addition to the gold standard cushion (“A Toot by Any Other Sound is Not as Profound!”)įirst was the Fart Whistle: “Turn Your Whistles into Farts! Blow into the Handheld Whistle and it Sounds like a Whoopee Cushion.” And mainly because at Toy Fair earlier this year, farts were all the rage.
I’m reminded of this now at Christmastime–and what kind of gift to get that special someone. One thing about fart humor, it never gets stale.Įven at the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where inductee Ringo Starr got a big laugh relating how one of the reasons The Beatles stayed friends on the road was living up to the pact that in the van, “if you fart, own up to it–because it will cause hell.”
