The exact source of this clip is unknown, as is common with user-uploaded soundboard files, but fart noises have been a comedy staple since the vaudeville whoopee cushion. The sound lives on in prank videos, comedy edits and meme compilations where a quick bodily-function gag punctures a serious moment. Creators pair it with sillier sounds like goofy ahh sounds, or contrast it with wetter variants such as fart with reverb and the drawn-out long brain fart when they want a longer gag.
