fart joke

Gas-based comedy

A fart joke is humor built around flatulence—the sound, smell, or social embarrassment of passing gas.

The category represents the most basic form of bodily comedy, reliably amusing to children and often dismissed as lowbrow: Every comedy aimed at twelve-year-olds has at least one fart joke.

The term sometimes stands in for crude humor generally.
