'''[[The Spoony Experiment|The Spoony One]]'''), explaining to [[The Nostalgia Critic]] how [[Battlefield Earth (film)|his race has taken over galaxies despite their obvious stupidity]].}}
Line 52:
* 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
* 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.
Line 94:
* 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.
Line 129:
* 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.
Line 142:
** 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 196:
* 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 Kings Story]]'' attack this way. Potentially the first {{spoiler|borderline [[Eldritch Abomination]]}} to have a fart attack.
* The Samnites in the [[Lucas Arts]] strategy game ''[[Gladius]]'' can learn a skill called, appropriately enough, "Befoul Area". Becomes a [[Game Breaker]] when paired with the Executioner's Sword, which instantly kills a damaged
* 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 249:
{{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:
* 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.
* In ''[[Grossology]]'', all of the villain Fartor's powers (and schemes) are based around farting. Including a farting [[Humongous Mecha]]!

{{quote|"This night was the result of careful preparation with large amounts of curry and beer providing excellent substrate, I was informed. 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."}}
* In his biography, Andre the Giant is mentioned as having cleared many a restaurant of pesky autograph hunters (the obnoxious kind who won't leave a celebrity alone once identified) with flatulence. Where does a gassy 7' tall, 500
* The Swedish word for "speed" is "Fart." Make of that what you will.
