FART JOKES ARE FUNNY YOU GUYS

J. Michael Straczynski on some of his early work on Real Ghostbusters

I knew Lorenzo Music while we were doing the show, but not afterward; we never really hung out or anything. He's a roundish, friendly kind of guy. We always had to separate him from Frank Welker and Maurice LaMarche in the sound studio, because if they were *ever* in close proximity, all kinds of hell would break out.

One day they got into a competition to do celebrity farts... little Doris Day squibs, a George C. Scott roller... we managed to keep it together until Frank let fly with his version of a William Conrad thunderer ...which went on and on and on... windows blew out... buttons flew off shirts... and when it finally came to its conclusion, *no one* was able to do *anything* for about twenty minutes. Shut *everything* down. No one could keep a straight face or get a line out. And Frank just sat there, smiling innocently.

Oh dear god almighty.

Maurice LaMarche is the dude who voiced Brain, right?

And Egon. That makes it, like, five hundred times funnier.

EPIC COMEDY.

Considering that VAs often joke around in character... yeah.

DAMN YOU INTERNETS, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE NEEDED YOU?

You just wish there was a record of the momentous event for all to share. XD

I heart fart humor. I really do. And I'm supposed to be all smart and stuff but nothing makes me laugh more than a fart. I just wish my bf wouldn't do it in bed so much...

See, you and I are smart and we know we are smart, so we can laugh at dumb humor with no reservations whatsoever.

I fartily agree that there is nothing quite as funny as flatulence.

Somehow, I get the feeling that Maurice LaMarche was also doing his Orson Welles impression.

Can't you just hear him thundering, "YES!" after a particularly ripe one?

I would enjoy a tape recording of this particular contest like you would not believe.
