you know, "Yeah, sure.
That's okay."
And Japan even--
you know, even had
a guy that did that
and there was a--
a famous scroll
which I talk about
in "Who Cut The Cheese"
and it told a story--
this goes back about maybe,
uh, about 300
or 400 years or so,
and, you know,
even in Japanese society,
you know,
farting was funny.
In some places, like,
there were some African...
uh-- uh, countries
where if you farted
in front
of the wrong person,
you could be killed.
( farting )
Man:
John Wycoff,
and the degree is D.O.
Flatulence
in the purest sense
is gas that's made
in the intestines,
usually from
the digestion of food
by various bacteria
and organisms.
I don't know why people
get so embarrassed
about farting.
After all,
it's a natural process,
isn't it?
Some people say
that you get some bloating
and distension
in the abdomen
and, uh,
that can be relieved
by flatulence.
Sometimes some people--
they try to hold in
the flatulence
and that could be, uh,
can cause some discomfort.
You know,
if it's a bodily function,
there's cause and effect.
Something causes
the gas to build up.
Something causes gas
to release, okay?
It's
a chemical reaction.
Nothing serious
is gonna happen
by not passing flatus.
Female interviewer:
So it's not bad
for you then to hold...?
No, it's more...
but noth-- nothing...
You're not gonna explode
or have any problems like that.
( farting )
There are a number
of theories of humor,
you know,
and you can theorize
farting relative
to all of them really.
Um...
It's a taboo,
I suppose.
it has comic potential
because it's
one of those things
that we repress.
It was difficult to...
Would you just excuse me
a minute?
( farts )
Oh, excuse me.
I just-- ah.
Uh, it was difficult
to actually--
Ooh, that's a bit..
Actually,
I shouldn't have done that.
- Two, one.
- ( laughing )
Well, farting is--
yeah, we all do it.
Yeah, farting
is something that--
it's a very, very funny,
uh, for young children.
Once you reach
a certain age,
and you're supposed
to grow up
and grow out
of childish humor.
Fart four,
fart five, fart six...
Fart five,
fart 11,
fart 12...
I think that, uh,
the younger generations
tend to be more open
with a lot of things.
than when
I was coming up.
I mean, that's just a totally
different environment.
For them
it's somewhat...
It's-- it's--
everything is about humor.
So, yeah,
it's more accepted
because of the humorous
aspect of it.
