The origin of this specific recording is unclear, but short fart clips like this one have circulated on soundboards and in prank videos for years as a universal gross-out gag. The 'big bombe' description points to its exaggerated, explosive delivery rather than a realistic sound. It spread through meme edits, gaming montages and short-form comedy where a single effect has to land instantly without dialogue. It remains popular because the joke needs no setup or translation, and the blast works equally well as a punchline, a fake accusation or an interruption.
