Pencilmation is a stick-figure animation series built around slapstick, silly sound design, and a character who constantly lands in ridiculous situations, which makes a cartoon fart a natural fit for its humour. Short clips from the series have circulated for years on soundboards and in meme edits, where the sound is lifted out of its original scene and reused as a standalone joke. It survives because it is instantly recognisable as a joke, needs no dialogue, and works in almost any language.
