Bob's Burgers is an animated sitcom about the Belcher family and their burger restaurant, and Gene Belcher is the family's music-loving son, famous for his keyboard gags and sound-effect jokes. The short fart noise from his keyboard became shorthand for lowbrow cartoon humour once clips began circulating on soundboards and in meme edits, where a one-second joke works better than a long setup. Fans also collect similar clips such as a fart echo and a dry fart, and the Gene clip endures because it is instantly recognisable, family-show silly rather than crude, and easy to drop into any failed moment.
