The moment someone farts, you may be thinking of something funny to say to tease the person or make them feel less embarrassed.
Whatever your intent is, know that it’s a fantastic opportunity to drop a fart blaming phrase.
While some people are concerned about what to do if you accidentally fart in front of someone, the real question is what you should do when someone else farts and you have to react.
We’ve put together in this article 45 hilarious statements you can utter when someone pollutes the air.
Key Takeaways
- If you caught the smell later on, you can directly ask the person, “when are you going to tell us you launched a new fragrance?”
- But ultimately, “did someone step on a duck?” is common.
- No matter the joke you crack, farting is part of nature and you shouldn’t take it out on them except it was intentionally done inappropriately.
When it comes to manners and good behaviour, you’d think that if someone farts and no one knows it was them, they should try to keep it that way.
If it happens on a bus, they might even pretend like it wasn’t them at all. So, before accusing anyone, make sure you know who did it, then you can joke about it in a playful way.
Don’t stress too much. Our list of funny things to say when someone farts will give you plenty of ideas.

When they apologise, it may feel unnecessary to joke about it afterwards. However, it all depends on how the joke is made. In the next sections, we’ll explain how to use these statements in different ways.
1. Did someone step on a duck?
“Did someone step on a duck” is a popular line people say when they suspect that someone has farted, especially in an enclosed place. Use this one when you’re still trying to guess who did it. It works like a charm.
2. When are you going to tell us you launched a new fragrance?
The humour from jokes related to fart is when you can use metaphors effectively. And so this comment underlines. New fragrance in this context means the fart.
3. Canadian geese
Alternatively, you can exclaim “Canadian geese” the moment you hear the whoopee-cushion noise.
4. I’m sure you couldn’t help that you’re only human
Sometimes, the funniest aspect of the things we say come from just stating the obvious. When you say this line, it strikes a chord and actually makes others smile.
5. Those morning boiled eggs are coming in just fine
Many people believe eating too many boiled eggs can make you fart. So you can draw the relationship between these two ideas.
6. Did you hear what your asshole just said?
“Asshole” in the general context may sound like an insult. But since the literal meaning is associated with the idea of farting, it is super gel…and hilarious.
7. Catch that and paint it red
Don’t mistake this one for the popular “paint it red” saying. When you use this phrase after someone fart, it means next time, they should inform others before farting.
8. The damn barking spiders are back
We don’t even know what this actually means but somehow it has become a generally embraced phrase to say whenever someone farts and you want to make fun of them.
9. I sense you released some internal excess air pressure
You can describe the gases that come off the person in a very hilarious way. One way to do that is calling it an internal excess air pressure.
10. And I thought I’ve been breathing air
Another way to evoke laughter after someone farts is to compare the status of the air you were breathing before and after the person farted.
11. Sometimes you can’t control it, can you?
Sometimes, the funniest aspect of the things we say come from just stating the obvious. One way to do that is to jokingly call them human.
12. You should go for a diet
This one is for when you’re sure of the person who farted. You can tell them directly.
13. Is something burning?
The funniest aspect of this phrase is that it now prompts other people around to inhale deeply in a bid to perceive what might be burning and then they immediately catch the fart smell.
14. Who just dropped their hot new single?
Using a fantastic metaphor for fart can do comedy wonders. One of such is called the far hot new single.
15. Do I smell popcorn?
This is similar to the Burning suggestion. The goal is to make other people inhale deeply and then they catch the odour as well.
16. I’m a smart fella
This may look like an ordinary statement but when they now ask to know what you mean you can now rephrase by saying “I’m a fart smeller”
17. Champions of the Gas Giants
Champions of the gas giants is a poetic way to to tease someone who just farted.
18. Well, that’s one way to clear the room!
The typical thing that happens when someone farts is that the other people in that enclosed area will cover their nose or try to leave the room.
19. That sounded like a duck in distress!
Any duck joke when someone farts will surely fly. But delivery also matters. You can always use this phrase.
20. Did you just speak the trumpet fluently?
The sound made when someone farts can be likened to that of a trumpet. But actually a muffled one.
21. Well, somebody’s got a gas problem.
Calling someone’s fart a gas problem is surely a rib cracker. You can say this with apathy and watch how they feel embarrassed. But not the way you think.
22. I see your body’s trying to communicate
The communication of farting is biologically called flatulence. Our intestines produce at least 500mls of gas daily, which is passed out of the anus at regular intervals.
23. That fart was so bad, I almost called 911
You can hilariously exaggerate the effect of the fart by saying it was so bad that you almost called an emergency for help.
24. Well, that was cheeky!
Calling someone’s fart cheeky will surely trigger some chuckle.
25. Smells like someone’s got the ‘tooty-fruity’ vibes
Tooty fruity vibes means a confection or ice cream containing chopped usually candied fruits. So you can connect that with the farting.
26. That was a butt whisper!
Comparing butt whispers with someone farting is also another hilarious attempt. The goal is to create a mental picture of that.
27. Who let the air horn loose?
Another way you can crack a joke when someone farts is to ask who let the air horn loose. This is especially useful if you’re yet to identify the actual person.
28. Can we get a translator for that message?
The sound of someone farting can be funny in itself. Now implying that it could be a message is funnier.
29. Was that a warning shot?
Calling an accidental fart a warning shot is an assumed irony that will surely inspire some chortle among people around.
30. Guess someone’s engine is revving!
When you rev a car engine, the sound it produces is similar to when a human farts. So the connection is humorously there.
31. Good thing we’re not recording a podcast in here
You can introduce the scenario of recording a show and a fart messes up the whole production. So that would surely inspire some laughter.
32. Well, that’s one way to cut the tension
If the person farted while a serious conversation was going on, then you can easily chip this one in.
33. Smells like somebody’s carrying a secret weapon
Giving innuendos to a fart can surely trigger some laughter. It all depends on how you do it. That’s why this one will always work.
34. That fart has a mind of its own!
When you say something has a mind of its own, it means it is different. So it could be about how it sounded or how long it went for.
35. You should bottle that, sell it as a weapon
You can tell the person “You should bottle that, sell it as a weapon” especially when the odour from the fart is very pungent.
36. Well, the floor just shook
“Wellm the floor just shook,” is another funny thing you can say the moment someone farts. You are simply exaggerating the effects of them farting.
37. Is that your secret talent?
You can playfully ask the person if farting is one of their secret talents.
38. You fart like a pro
Indeed, people like receiving compliments. But complementing them for being a pro farter? Not so good but will command some laughter depending on how you say it.
39. Is there a hidden message in that sound?
The sound of someone farting can be funny in itself. Now implying that it could be a message is funnier.
40. That fart came from deep within
Telling someone who just farted that it came from within means that the foul odour was indeed intense and you can’t stand it.
41. Are we supposed to applaud or run?
You can pose this rhetorical question after the person fart with a seriously confused face as though you’re actually expecting a response.
42. That was the sound of defeat
Another way to sound funny when someone farts is to tell them the sound was that of one who has been defeated.
43. I think your chair just complained
You can describe farting in so many comedic ways, and saying the chair complained is one of them.
44. The fart heard around the world
Exaggeration is a good part of humour and so is this comment. It just shows the fart was so off-putting.
45. That was your gut trying to speak its mind
Many things happen in our body then eventually lead to the gas that comes out of the anus. This is one funny way to express it.
Final Thoughts
Since farting is something that naturally happens, I don’t think people should be judged when it happens by accident.
Some say you shouldn’t fart at work, around friends, or even in front of someone you’re dating (but what’s the point if you can’t be comfortable enough to do that?).
But, if one slips out, we should just say “Excuse me” and try not to laugh too much. After all, it’s better out than in!
