This clip comes from the SoundBible.com free sound library, where it was uploaded simply as a short fart recording. Soundboard users picked it up because its stuttering rhythm sounds less like a classic fart sound and more like a small engine giving up, which gave it a second life in fail compilations. It spread under the nickname wont start fart on meme boards and Discord servers, often filed next to every fart meme sound used for comedic timing. Its charm is the built-in anticlimax, making failure itself the joke.
