▲== Anime & Manga ==
* The evil mice on ''[[Black Cat Detective]]''. Some of them had the ability to knock cats unconscious with their deadly emissions, warranting the use of space-helmets.
* ''[[Kinnikuman]]'' had this as his means of flight. He also farts on his opponent at the end of an incomplete Muscle Spark. Not nearly as damaging as a complete one, but much more humiliating. He escaped Black Hole's alternate universe prison by using his farts as a "white hole" counter-attack.
Line 42:
* ''[[Kaiketsu Zorori]]'': Ishishi and Noshishi have strong gas, and Zorori uses this when needed, to power machines and spacecraft. (That's not to say that Zorori's farts can't power spacecraft too, though.)
== [[Comic Books]] ==
== Comics ==▼
* ''Peräsmies'' is a Finnish superhero parody comic. The title hero is a hobo who developed super-powered flatulence after eating irradiated pea soup; he flies by breaking wind, and knocks criminals out by farting on them. The name of the character is a combination of "Teräsmies" (Superman's Finnish name) and "perä" (rear end).
* In one of [[Lobo]]'s stories, he resolves an epic duel with his daughter by eating a can of beans (an obvious Popeye spoof) and setting his fart on fire to create a nuclear explosion.
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* The Harrowers from the ''[[Hellraiser]]'' comics, and shortly-lived [[Spin-Off]], has Ovid. A [[Our Angels Are Different|cherub]] who serves the goddess of [[Order Versus Chaos|life and chaos]]. One of his powers is anti-demon farts.
* In the Swedish comic ''Krystmarodören'' (about an anarchic [[Anti-Hero]] with [[Toilet Humor|super-crapping powers...]]) the eponymous hero is [[Let's You and Him Fight|tricked into a fight]] with more upstanding hero Balkongståarn, a half-dressed man with a hover-balcony. After using his power to, erh, clogging the vents on Balkonståarn's vehicle, the guy snarfs down a can of baked beans, singing [[Popeye]]'s theme tune, and averts crashing by some massive farting.
* Subverted in a [[Photo Comic]] called "Fartman" in the March 1985 issue of the ''National Lampoon'' magazine. The title character's [[Fartillery]] covers all of the above categories, and is quite effective. However, he refuses to actually ''use'' it, as it's too embarrassing.▼
* In [[The Beano]] comic strip [[Super-Hero School]] this is Stink bomb's superpower. He uses his farts to beat the badguys.
* In ''[[Savage Dragon]]'', an entire team of bad guys had with body function related powers. One of them was called ''Backdraft''. Do the math.
== [[Film]] ==
* In the movie ''[[Beavis and Butthead
▲* In the movie ''[[Beavis and Butthead]] do America,'' there's a scene where the two main characters meet their fathers in the middle of the desert. After having a dinner of canned beans by campfire, Butthead's dad turns around and proceeds to fart into the flames, causing an explosion equivalent to a nuclear explosion.
** B&B also utilize burps and farts as (non-lethal) weaponry in their [[Licensed Game|video game]].
* In the opening of the first ''[[Shrek]]'' movie, Shrek farts in the water, and a fish floats up. Ogre astrology and mythology includes "Bloodnut the Flatulent", whose constellation includes hunters fleeing his stench. Also, when reaching the brimstone-smelling dragon lair...
Line 71 ⟶ 68:
* ''[[Despicable Me]]'': "I said DART Gun!"
** In ''Despicable Me 2'', they're used to deliver a 21-gun salute.
* ''[[Mystery Men]]'' features the Spleen, whose superpower is superpowered flatulence. The origin comes from the curse of a gypsy woman. (A deliberate [[You Fail Biology Forever]], as even curse-enhanced farts have nothing to do with the spleen.)
{{quote|"One day, while walking with some friends, I accidentally cut the cheese. Well, in my adolescent awkwardness, I blamed it on an old gypsy woman who happened to be passing by. '''Big mistake!''' The gypsy woman placed a curse upon my head. Because I smelt it, she decreed I would forevermore '''be he who dealt it!'''"}}
Line 90 ⟶ 85:
* ''[[Major Payne]]'' knocks out one of his JROTC recruits with a fart after he tries to pull a [[Laxative Prank]].
== [[Literature]] ==▼
▲== Literature ==
* In ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'', the Dwarves possesses a wide range of gastrointestinally-based superpowers. Including superfarts. At one point, [[Badass]] [[Battle Butler]] Butler (That's his name) is [[Blown Across the Room]] by one of these, much to his chagrin. Artemis himself occasionally refers to the rear end of a dwarf as "a wide-bore weapon".
* ''[[The BFG]].'' by Roald Dahl has a drink with bubbles that sink. And make you "fly".
* Errol the Dragon from ''[[Discworld]]'' is a rocket-flight
** Lunar Dragons, as seen in ''The Last Hero'', flame from... that end. This is largely because they live on a low-gravity environment, and a weapon that stops you in midflight is worthless.
*** Errol has rearranged his innards to flame like a Lunar Dragon's. [[Word of God]] says that Errol is a throwback to the lunar dragons.
* ''[[Hidden Talents]]'' by David Lubar has a kid nicknamed Hindenburg for his tendency to, well... He even manages to blow open a closet door.
* The (aptly-named) Gasman, a.k.a. Gazzy from ''[[Maximum Ride]]''. Not only can they incapacitate foes with their smell, they're toxic green.
Line 103 ⟶ 98:
"Germany's secret weapon," I said sourly. "The human champagne bottle... turns his back on the enemy and wipes out whole regiments at a fart!" }}
* ''The Day My Bum (or [[Cultural Translation|Butt]]) Went Psycho'', and the sequels. Farts, in this, are used by the bums not only as weapons, but also for flight.
* ''[[The Lords of Creation|In the Courts of the Crimson Kings]]'' by S.M. Stirling. Do the methane-powered [[
* The children's book series ''Walter the Farting Dog'', which is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]
* There is a traditional Japanese children's fable whose title, when translated to English, is ''[http://anenglishmaninosaka.blogspot.com/2007/10/flatulent-folktales.html The Farting Wife.]'' In it, a man marries a beautiful woman who is his dream girl, but her farts are so enormous they're capable blowing people and things away.
* In the [[Harry Potter]] book [[Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them]], this is what a Fire Crab does, despite its name its actually a turtle. The video game latter shows how it does it.
* Not actually a weapon, because it was most dangerous to those producing it: Philip Wylie's ''[[The End of the World as We Know It|The End of the Dream]]'' has a sequence when negligence about the chemistry of a new precooked food made it give those who ate it high-explosive flatulence. This was discovered when one gentleman, after a hearty meal, broke wind while his back was to the fireplace, and became [[Ludicrous Gibs|splattered]] all over the room's walls. He was just the first such victim....
▲== Live Action TV ==
* ''The Power of Kroll'' is the only ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story centred entirely around farts (methane production from a giant alien creature).
** The Slitheen have really smelly farts. This isn't much use to them (it has to do with "gas exchange"), but it is useful to the Doctor, who realizes what species they are from the way their farts smell.
Line 123 ⟶ 118:
* In an ''[[Angel]]'' episode "Blood Money", Cordelia has a vision of a great fire-breathing monster. It's referred to in [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] fashion; Gunn and Wesley attempt to sneak up on it from behind, and flames appear, coming from the ([[Coconut Superpowers|offscreen]]) giant monster. Gunn laments "I thought you said it ''breathed'' fire!"
* The Le Corbussier et Papin sketches in [[The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer]]. Literally in one of sketches, as rapid fart-firing knocks a cyclist off his bike and into a lake; metaphorical in others.
* Happens in a case of ''[[1000 Ways to Die]]'', named ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Gas-Holed]]''. An ass-man proctologist forgets to tell a stripper with a nice ass to not eat anything before operating on her; she eats a HUGE chilli dog and later lets out a big fart during the surgery... accidentally blowing up the cauterizer and burning the [[Dirty Old Man]] doc's face and lungs.
▲* Subverted in a [[Photo Comic]] called "Fartman" in the March 1985 issue of the ''National Lampoon'' magazine. The title character's
== [[Oral Tradition]], [[Folklore]], Myths
* General Pumpkin of Korean Folklore was both [[Cursed with Awesome|Blessed]] and [[Blessed with Suck|cursed]] by this ability.
* There have also been serious or not so serious speculation on whether the milky way was formed from the gas of an [[Ancient Astronauts|Ancient Astronaut]] released into space.
* In many stories, [[Youkai|Kappa]] have incredibly powerful flatulence, some say they even possess [[Bizarre Alien Biology|two anuses]], and the trait even led to an old saying about something having less importance then a Kappa's fart. Conversely this was also used against them, and there is more then one piece of ancient art with a human using
* The little-known bonnacon is a mythological beast from Asia with a head like a bull, but with horns that curl in towards each other. As these horns are useless for defense, the bonnacon typically attacks by running away from its pursuers while letting out a gigantic fart covering as much as two acres that burns anything it touches.
* A common explaination in mythology for [[Smelly Skunk|skunks]] stench. Some legends even say they can kill with it.
== Professional Wrestling ==
* During her term in Divas of Doom, [[Natalya Neidheart| certain someone]] had this going for her, much to the dismay of some of the other divas, and even a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C07ZLMFYt7A referee] was caught off-guard.
== [[Puppet Shows]] ==▼
▲== Puppet Shows ==
* When ''[[The Funday Pawpet Show]]'' started in '99, one of the regular features was the "Poot Board" on which it was recorded how many times and which puppetteer ripped one loose over the course of the four hour show. Generally Yappy and JR are the Poot Kings.
== [[Video Games]] ==▼
▲== Video Games ==
* [[Wario Ware|Wario]], in most of his recent incarnations, has some variety of gas-based power. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl,'' it's his B Down special attack; he can also create dangerous gas clouds in ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Strikers.]]''
** Taken over the top in the initial trailer where the fart creates a cloud you'd commonly associate with an A-Bomb... people pretty much speculated that this was his Final Smash, but surprisingly, it wasn't.
*** Though interestingly, if he DOES do the fully-charged version of the fart DURING his Final Smash transformation, it ''is'' one of the most powerful attacks in the game, able to kill virtually anything in one hit (including himself).
* The Hare species from ''[[Monster Rancher]]'' frequently has "Gas" as one of its special attacks. While it doesn't do much damage, it does decrease Guts quite a bit. I'm fairly certain they're not the only species to have such an
** It's also employed by Apes, which only appear in some of the games. As well as being used by Hare in the anime, though cut from the American dub, in which is was far more powerful.
* The web-based Flash game ''[[Puzzle Farter]]''
* Pey'j in ''[[Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good and Evil]]'' has a pair of Jet-Boots than run
{{quote|'''Pey'j:''' They run on home-made bio-carburant. Here's the pocket of pressurized methane... ''(points to seat of pants)'' To fire 'em up, just contract your abdominal muscles! }}
* ''[[Boogerman]]''. The titular character fights monsters with an arsenal of bodily functions, which of course includes long-range fartillery. After collecting the 'Chili Pepper' powerup, he can also use his flaming flatulence to reach new heights!
Line 181 ⟶ 178:
** The Earth Eater [[Bonus Boss]] from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' looks like it's farting the Flare spell, although it's actually bouncing it off its own auto-reflect. However, it can only do this while its behind is pointing at you.
* After losing a battle, O'Chunks from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' will blast off using fart propulsion.
** There's also a common enemy, Cherbil, which somewhat resembles a... well, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140711182514/http://www.mariowiki.com/images/b/b2/88_CherbilCard.PNG just look at it.] It attacks by spraying a gas that causes various status effects from between its... cheeks. The in-game tattle information even alludes to this:
{{quote|"Some say the gas come from their mouths. Some say it comes from elsewhere...... Oh, dear..."}}
* In the custom built fighting game ''[[MUGEN]]'', [[Family Guy|Peter Griffin]] uses farts as a flamethrower (known as the [[Fan Nickname|Anal Torch]]).
Line 191 ⟶ 188:
* The Expansion Pack and Sequel Demo of the freeware fighter ''Secret of the 8 Stones'' is based entirely around this. Well, and [[Fetish Fuel]]
** For a more in depth description, "Eight Marbles: Ura Version" (As it's more commonly known) is a fighting game centering around cute, anime-esque girls with lethal and explosive flatulence. Characters range from a skunk girl, to a ninja, to a bug-woman who stores gas in her abdomen, to a young girl whose [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|super attack is a blast of flatulence that can seen from space and changes the background to a foggy wasteland.]]
* This is one of the most common combat options in ''[[South Park|South Park: The Stick of Truth]]'' and ''South Park: The Fractured But Whole]]''. (What, [[Captain Obvious| did you expect otherwise]] from ''[[South Park]]'' games??)
* In ''Shrek SuperSlam'', a fighting game based around the ''[[Shrek]]'' series, the title character has a move called "Green Storm", which is a huge fart.
* ''[[Magicians Quest Mysterious Times]]'' has the weirdest application of "Farts as a weapon", ''ever''. In addition to just causing mischief, you can use the "Flatulence" spell to make ghosts pass gas... and in the process, launch into the air like a rocket, getting rid of them until you leave the screen.
* In ''[[GU Fighter]]'', a mugen-like system based around forum members, a few attack this way. One has sprite's based off of Tekken Gon and attacks with a green cloud. The second is based off of [[Waku Waku 7|Fernandeath]] and attacks by farting out a series of black spheres. Finally is one based on [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Tails]] who has both a projectile and [[Game Breaker|instant death]] super.
* In ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'', one of Hakushon Daimaou's supers ends in a fart.
* The {{spoiler|[[Rodents of Unusual Size|Rat King]] and his followers}} in ''[[Little
* The Samnites in the [[
* The first videogame example, way back in 1985. Po-Chin in ''[[Yie Ar Kung-Fu]] 2'' is known as the Poison Gas Warrior. There's still argument on whether they're really farts or not, but the sprites certainly look like it.
** It should be noted that the game was on multiple computer systems and consoles. In the most detailed he simply breaths fire, which goes against his name, and the fact he turns around and bends over in the other versions. Make of that what you will.
Line 220 ⟶ 218:
* In ''[[Red Faction]]: Armaggedon'', after completing the game, you can get a weapon called [[Meaningful Name|Mr. Toots]], a cute toy [[Unicorn]]... that farts [[Death Ray|lethal rainbow-colored beams of horrible death]]! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHe0S22d1vQ Here.]
* One of the bosses of ''[[Mini Ninjas]]'' attacks by fanning clouds of farts towards the players.
* ''[[Tattoo Assassins]]''; literally every fighter in this third-rate ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' ripoff has a Fatality like this.

* In ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', one of the myriad improbable opponents that Dr. McNinja goes up against is a man whose abs are so incredibly developed that they've transformed into a six-pack jetpack powered by flatulence.
* The ''[[Dragonball Z

* In the ''[[Whateley Universe]]'', there's a student codenamed Miasma. Whatever his power is, this is the effect. He doesn't seem to have good control over it, either.
* As quoted above, the [[The Nostalgia Critic]] review of ''[[Battlefield Earth (film)|Battlefield Earth]]'', the villain [[Large Ham|Terl]] stated that the only reason that his race (who in the film are shown to be [[Exclusively Evil|Always]] [[Stupid Evil]] and [[Too Dumb to Live]]) only succeeded as galactic conquerors due to their ability to "fart out nukes".
Line 240 ⟶ 237:
* This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbqBT1mE9Ts&feature=related hilarious parody] of ''[[Dune]]'' on You Tube. The future smells...
* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQbKAZN3h7A The X-Lax Men]'', a scatalogical parody of ''[[X-Men]]''. One scene has literal fartillery in the form of ass-fired mortars.
* In ''[[Dirty Potter]]'', JK Rowling farted so hard that she "arseblasted" Ron to another dimension. [[Rule of Funny|Don't ask why, she's JK Rowling]].

* Billy from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* In the first ''[[South Park]]'' episode, Cartman's [[Farts on Fire]] were needed to summon the aliens. In a more recent episode, Cartman ''injected apple juice into his veins'' to worsen the frequency and potency of his farts as a weapon against a Muslim couple he was demanding information from.
** In ''Eat, Pray, Queef'', [[Even Evil Has Standards| CARTMAN, of all people]] was outages after Butters gets queefed on.
* In the episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' in which they premiere, the Rowdyruff Boys create a toxic cloud of gas to stop the Powerpuffs.
{{quote|"Good thing we had those burritos for lunch!" }}
** Likewise in ''[[Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z]]'' they use noxious gas to terrorize the audience locked in a TV studio.
* On one episode of ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexters Laboratory]]'', Dexter eats a huge burrito and gets a stomach ache. Thinking he's about to explode, he goes to say goodbye to his parents. His dad tells him to "let 'er rip"
** Not only that, but the pullout shots indicate that the fart is so loud, the ''entire universe'' hears it. The episode irises out on Dexter's butt, just as another literally Earth-shattering stinker is emitted.
* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' has the episode "Jack and the Farting Dragon." [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Need we say more]]?
Line 263 ⟶ 260:
* In ''[[Mucha Lucha]]'', The Flea had this as his signature move.
* In ''[[Skunk Fu!]]!'', the title character Skunk, [[Department of Redundancy Department|who is a skunk]], expels green gas from his butt, sometimes to save the day. However, [[You Fail Biology Forever|skunks actually]] ''[[You Fail Biology Forever|spray]]'' a bad smelling chemical rather than really smelly air.
* In ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', Fifi La Fume has a similarly off stench
** Subverted, as it comes from her tail.

* [[wikipedia:Le Petomane|Le Pétomane]], a French performer, made his career out of breaking wind. Even performed at the [[Moulin Rouge]], although did not appear in the film. Could imitate musical instruments, blow out candles, and with the help of an ocarina and a rubber tube, play ''La Marseillaise''.

Unimpressed at the thought of any further delay to my latest (video taped) instalment of Eastenders, I was assured that I was "in for a real treat."Balanced on the edge of the sofa, my three flatmates carefully leaned back and lifted their legs up in the air. Then each excitedly lit a match and held it to the seat of their trousers. We were still all in the dark, and, after a protracted countdown, I witnessed the greatest firework display I'd ever seen. Jets of blue flame (bigger and bluer than the flame on your grandmother's brandy soaked Christmas pudding) emanated from each of them in a perfectly synchronised performance."}}
