{{quote|''"In China it's considered perfectly good manners to talk with your mouth full and to burp after your meal. Farting seems to vary according to the situation and your current company, so ask ahead of time. Lighting the fart is frowned upon in almost all provinces."''|'''[[Cracked
Flatulence is set aflame.
Line 19:
== Comics ==
* There's a scene in ''[[Hate]]'' where a whole bunch of people at a nighttime party stand in a line and light their farts.
* In ''[[Gorsky and Butch]]'' Aliens parody, two marines use this to blow a flock of man-eating sheep ([[Makes Sense in Context]]) in a [[Taking You
* [[Lobo]] took this trope [[Up to Eleven]], using a can of baked beans to nuke his [[Nigh Invulnerable]] daughter.
Line 26:
* ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]''
* ''[[Wet Hot American Summer]]'' does this at the talent show.
* Shown in [[
* ''The Tank Battalion'' (1991). [[The Political Officer]] asks the Czech conscripts what they do in their spare time. While the soldier asked is lying about their fervent study of political works, a flashback shows them lying naked on their bunks, holding in their farts until as someone runs from one man to the other with a lighted match, producing long streams of blue flame.
* ''Freaked'' (1993). One of the freaks is called "The Human Flame" for this reason.
Line 35:
* In the 1993 Live-Action film of ''[[Dennis the Menace US|Dennis The Menace]]'', when Dennis is (unknowingly) held captive by a burglar, and he is accidentally handcuffed by Dennis, Dennis accidentally drops the release keys into a cooking pot of beans, since "Food is not wasted" Dennis force-feeds him the ''entire pot'' making him to fart near the fire causing a big flame.
* In ''[[Critters|Critters 3]]'', when the title creatures (who are [[Extreme Omnivore|Extreme Omnivores]]) invade the protagonist's department one of them eats a can of beans and does this with the flame of the stove.
* In the comedy ''[[
* In ''[[Black Sheep]]'', the fact that their fart contains large amounts of methanol is used to blow up the {{spoiler|flesh eating sheeps}}
* In the [[World War 2]] drama ''[[Harts War]]'', one scene briefly shows the Allied prisoners amusing themselves in their barracks by doing this.
Line 47:
* [[Played for Drama|Not played for laughs]]: In [[Stephen King]]'s novel ''[[IT]]'', a fart-lighting scene leads to a homosexual encounter between two of the Bad kids. It's one of the most suspenseful scenes in the book, because the whole thing is witnessed by one of the Good kids.
* Happens in [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|The Vor Game]]'', where the main character, dubbed the camp idiot for a (rigged) accident with a piece of major equipment, is relieved when the title is taken over by a couple of new recruits who set their tent on fire lighting "fart flares."
* Recounted in [[Spike Milligan]]'s memoir, ''[[
* One of James Herriott's [[All Creatures Great and Small|autobiographic novels]] features a story (well, urban legend, actually; see [[Real Life]] below) about gastric surgery on a bovine and a demonstration of the flammability of stomach gas. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the resulting burst of flame is quite a lot bigger than anticipated...
* Elmer the Fire Farter in a ''[[Stephanie Plum]]'' spinoff, ''Plum Spooky''.
Line 53:
== Live Action TV ==
* A fantasy-version of Rygel the 16th as the Black Knight uses this as a weapon in ''[[
* The ''[[Myth Busters]]'' tried it (in a segment they [[Executive Meddling|could not air]] in the USA but did overseas...and the US execs finally relented for the anniversary "Top 25" special). Although the flatulence was flammable, the flame itself was fairly unimpressive and it didn't remove the smell at all.
* In ''[[The Young Ones]]'' episode Cash, Vyvyan thinks he's pregnant, backed up by his [[Balloon Belly|rapidly expanding gut]]. Turns out it was just gas. Right after it's released someone(I think Rik), lights a cigar, and blows the house up.
Line 61:
* Happened in the christmas episode of ''[[Bottom]]''. Richie had meade a special christmas snack containing year-old sprouts, as well as other rather nasty and spicy ingrediants. The guys all passed out and when they woke up they were randomly spouting and fire from their asses.
* In the ''[[I'm in The Band]]'' episode "Don't Date the Principal's Daughter", [[Gasshole|Burger]] does this {{spoiler|on Derek after Ash, who pulls his finger in order to make him burp fire}} (because he accidentally discovered earlier that pulling the wrong finger will result in a burp when it's Burger), but [[Epic Fail|fails hilariously]]
* Happens at least twice in ''[[
* Happens in ''[[House MD]]'', when the team is operating on a [[Hikikomori]] with an intestinal blockage. A doctor goes to cauterize a bleed... "Hey, wait! The gas..." *''FOOSH!''*
Line 67:
== Music ==
* [http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/Ass_Burners Ass Burners]. They got it depicted on one of their albums' covers. It's a grindcore/black metal project, of course.
* The [[Genesis (
* [[
== Newspaper Comics ==
* ''[[The Far Side]]'' may have been [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] by showing the fantastic variation of young dragons lighting their sneezes.
* This was the closest category. A cartoon book called ''The Bunny Suicides'' has a bunny using several cans of beans, strategic ductwork, and a match. The book itself is [[Exactly What It Says
Line 81:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[
* '''[[Splosion Man]]'' seems to 'splode like this from time to time.
* Chimchar from ''[[
** Also, Reshiram actually has the ability to shoot flames out of its tail.
*** Same with Skuntank.
Line 99:
* ''[[Beavis and Butthead]] [[The Movie|Do America]]''. It causes a mushroom cloud.
* One episode of ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' consists nearly entirely of Beavis in a hospital emergency room, face-down on a gurney, whimpering in agony, with his pants burnt off around his blackened butt. At one point, flames shoot out of his butt, propelling the gurney some twenty feet, with Beavis screaming in pain. It's never adequately explained what led up to this, leaving it to the viewer's imagination.
* One episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' had the Griffins develop superpowers from toxic waste; when Chris discovers he's [[Playing
** In another, the universe is a result of God lighting one.
* In ''[[Evan Mather|Kung Fu Kenobi's Big Adventure]]'', several cans of beans are used by the titular character to blow up Jabba the Hutt, and his palace with him. And that's the least bizarre part of that particular short.
