The brain fart format became a staple of short meme edits where a fart noise stands in for a mind going blank, rather than for an actual bathroom joke. This longer second version circulated on soundboards alongside the original Long brain fart and similar variants like fart with reverb, giving editors a clip long enough to cover an extended reaction. Its appeal is timing, as the sputtering continues past the point of surprise and turns discomfort into the entire gag, which keeps it in rotation for reaction videos.
