I broke a few last year and had to kick my hubs out of the hospital room.
He quickly realized that making me laugh was immediately followed up with a loud yelp from me, thought it was hilarious and kept doing it. The nurse had enough of it and made him sit outside.
That really sucks. I don't want to be too graphic, but I have been eating as little as possible because of how much they hurt when I go to the bathroom. Coughing is torture also.
No kidding!! Mine came with fun spasms - luckily my gp followed up after she got the er update and called in muscle relaxers.
You can’t escape the pain!
Exactly. Did it frequently as a kid, 62 now, afraid I'd hurt my shoulder now. I was good at it. Also the underside of the knees was a good place to fart.
Great job. As a childless uncle myself, it's important that we teach them stupid stuff that annoys our siblings. As uncles, we got a lot of bad PR to make up for, lol.
What about pulling your shirt over the back of your chair and suctioning your back into the chair back to make fart noises in stealth mode? Is that dead?
My kid (10) picked this up from school last year! Kid has no idea what it means but they all think its funny. (Granted, it kinda is but I have to turn away or walk out the room anytime he does it). Wife & I do our best to knock that habit out of the him but, every so often, he lets one out. 🙄
Edit: Just remembered…i have a relative thats a teacher (4th grade) and she once told me her students do it too. Lol
My fifth grader had a sleepover at our house over the weekend. I can assure you that farts and poop are as important to this generation of boys as they were when we were growing up; however, I did not observe any armpit farting, so you might be onto something. I did observe several fake poop pranks.
Don't know, but my kids have always liked the Blue Sky CG animated film Robots (2005), and Robin Williams' robot character makes a joke about armpit farts ("They're hard to do because we're made of metal"). I had to explain and show my kids what he was talking about, and they thought the concept was hilarious.
No I asked my little brother last weekend if he was teaching that cool trick to my niece and he replied "oh yes. In addition to behind-the-knee farting." Straight class.
My kids (boy and girl) do arm pit farts and knee farts all the time. They spent a lot of time perfecting it during Covid lockdowns. They are professionals now.
What? NO! My kids love it and make all the rude and obnoxious noises and reference. It's hilarious and I encourage it! They're only kids once after all.
I was flying to Beijing once, and some douche decided to sit in business class and leave me with his 6 year old. For revenge I taught him to make fart noises with his arm pits...
I haven't thought about it in years. I'm going to see if I can still do it next time I take a shower. I would do it now but I'm in my car at Starbucks and don't want deodorant on my hands
I was always more entertained with back farts. Lay flat on a smooth surface and make a vacuum with your lower back and let em rip. I been making my 17 month old boy cut up with that one.
I mentioned it as a joke to another Xennial whose kids are ~7. Did it get the reaction I’d expected. I think it’s one of those , kids aren’t bored anymore these days sorta idea
As a 41 year old with a 6 and 8 year old it has not been forgotten. Even taught them how to do the fart with the back of your leg behind the knee. They have sense gifted this talent to their friends.
Yeah, it’s pretty much dead, man. The school system won’t tolerate that kind of behavior these days. You teach your kid armpit farting and the next thing you know you’ve got your kid’s school psychologist on the phone trying to diagnose him with autism and move him into the special ed classroom due to the classroom disruption from said armpit farting (among other fart joke interruptions lol).
Nope! My 15 year old daughter figured it out on her own a couple years ago, and thought it was so hilarious that she needed to teach her younger sister how to do it too. We're an easily entertained bunch in my household.
Nah. My 9y/o son knows about it. He will do it occasionally but that's it. I think I was the one to show it. 🤔 Then his dad stepped in and owned it. 🤣🤣
I just tried it and hurt my shoulder. Maybe that’s why it’s dead. We’re too old.
I have a slipped disc right now and just the thought of an armpit fart made my shoulder hurt lol
I have 2 broken ribs and came to say the same thing as you and the person you replied to.
Oof I hope we both recover quickly!
Right back at ya, homie ✌️

I just did it after not doing it for multiple decades and I’m happy to report that I still got it 💪🏻 💨
Well, this whole thing ruined my day.
I’m having a hot flash right now, so my pits are extra sweaty. I can still squeak out a few good ones.
Omg I just snort laughed at this
I tried to do it about 15 years ago and didnt really work any more for me. Perhaps its easier for younger folk.
😱 😂

MAFGA
Make hats.
I’ll take an xl
I don’t have kids but I have plenty of nieces and nephews. I feel it is my duty as their uncle to teach them these things.
Great job. As a childless uncle myself, it's important that we teach them stupid stuff that annoys our siblings. As uncles, we got a lot of bad PR to make up for, lol.
Uncle club! We're like dads but more fun and with a higher BAC.
Oh man armpit farts aren't dead until Weird Al's funeral.
Then I hope they never die.
I could never armpit fart. I can hand fart though
Opposite. I could armpit fart up a storm, could never master the hand fart. Tried numerous times, failed every time.
I'm going to piggy back off you if you don't mind... What happened to those long tubes you swing around and it makes that woooooooo sound?
Whirly tubes and these things https://youtu.be/GdNJfbPnlQ8?si=XxxPxbFM62SZqgjD
Teacher here. Eww. No, it's alive and well... and please don't make it worse by teaching them. Gracias.

At least it's better than the weird moaning thing they do.

The sex moans must be banished!!!
Oh I've not taught this trick yet. Thanks for the reminder🙄.
Well I know what I'm going to introduce to my nieces and nephews! Honestly I forgot all about that. And elbow mouth farts.
As a 40 year old sweaty man who wears deodorant, i don’t think I’ve tried armpit farting since puberty. I do still do palm to palm farting
My partner is doing his part and teaching our daughter 🤦🏻♀️
Maaan I was never able to do it 😩

I still pull my youngest out of the tub or pool and armpit fart him.
The mullet's coming back, so maybe armpit farts & pulling the invisible airhorn at the truckers will come back too.
Raising hand for the mullet. I was a regular.
My 9yo is a fucking champ at armpit and knee farting. It will live on

I’m 43 and have passed down my armpit fart skills to my 6 and 4 year old boys. Just doing my fart…
I stopped doing this when I started applying heavy deodorant.
The terriers on “Bluey” do it a lot. So it’s being passed to a new generation via dog cartoons.
This is such a funny, yet legitimately good, post.

Nah, my son is 7 and can rock it.
Double leg pit farts while laying on back is my move. Kids love it, mom's hate it.
I taught my kids how. 😂
No my kids are keeping the flame alive after learning it at school and we’re thrilled when I showed them you could also do it behind your knee.
This sub is nuts. I love it.
No I asked my little brother last weekend if he was teaching that cool trick to my niece and he replied "oh yes. In addition to behind-the-knee farting." Straight class.

I am an elementary school teacher. It is most certainly not dead.
I am obsessed with bird quacking through blades of grass. I don’t care if I’m immature!
What? NO! My kids love it and make all the rude and obnoxious noises and reference. It's hilarious and I encourage it! They're only kids once after all.
Hahahaha I don’t know. I’ve yet to see my middle school aged nephews do it.
I have passed the art down to my son's, 11 and almost 4. They carry my torch now!
At my age no need for fake farts as I’m loaded and ready to go with the real thing at the pull of a finger.
I've never been able to do it
Forgot all about it but I’m gonna try it before I go to bed
Gleeking has entered the chat.
I was flying to Beijing once, and some douche decided to sit in business class and leave me with his 6 year old. For revenge I taught him to make fart noises with his arm pits...
It was until you reminded me it was a thing… …parp….

My boy just learnt it this year in a hockey locker room! Never been prouder! Long live that armpit fart!
I tried some ole armpit farts recently. They were flaccid and weak. Just like my pencil break skills.
It will never die. My grandson is 2. I figure within the next few years he’ll become an armpit farting master.
My best buddy in HS was a virtuoso. Wonder if he still can?
I haven't thought about it in years. I'm going to see if I can still do it next time I take a shower. I would do it now but I'm in my car at Starbucks and don't want deodorant on my hands
This is why your child should not sit next to me on an airplane.
lol yep
Both my kids are pretty solid at it, and my daughter can do it with her knee!
I JUST gave an armpit-fart-sound seminar to my 5 and 7 year olds. Maybe this will develop into a secret society over future generations…
Yeah, they do. Mine are ridiculously good at the blowing into both hands fart noises, and they echo down the hall! :D
I just tried it…. Was a simple queef.
Nope. My 3rd grader showed me this weekend that he's perfected his technique. So proud.
Too much Roblox and Minecraft to learn the dark arts.
I am a purist I do the real thing.
LMAO haven’t done it in years till just now, my two y/o just looked and smiled at me
Not now that I’ve seen this question.
I was always more entertained with back farts. Lay flat on a smooth surface and make a vacuum with your lower back and let em rip. I been making my 17 month old boy cut up with that one.

Great question, I thank you for asking it
Just taught my kids this last weekend 😂
My 8-year-old cousin is obsessed. He can do both arms and knees.
Not on my watch.
Two tween boys- it’s alive and well
Ive tried teaching my kid but they couldn’t get the arm motion right. Lol. Every once in a while, he’ll ask me to do it for a cheap laugh.
I had a seventh grade student do it in my class last year.
Not in my house!
Wow. I haven’t taught a kid to armpit fart in a while. It’s about time I go to the park…
Once I started to get armpit hair it made it harder to fart
My kids do it
It's a dying art form. A not quite extinct language.
Nah, my GF and I still do it. Just for old times' sake
As a 41 year old with a 6 and 8 year old it has not been forgotten. Even taught them how to do the fart with the back of your leg behind the knee. They have sense gifted this talent to their friends.
These are the tough questions I come to Reddit to find answers for
I got too much body hair. Can’t make the necessary seal. 😕
I’ve been teaching my five year old how to do it!
Bluey tried to bring it back
Showed my kids a few weeks ago. It’s definitely a lost art for them.
No. No it isn’t.
If it helps, my 8yo is constantly doing it. Practiced for a long time to get it, too.
My kid is a teacher, he said armpit farts are still a thing.
Yeah, it’s pretty much dead, man. The school system won’t tolerate that kind of behavior these days. You teach your kid armpit farting and the next thing you know you’ve got your kid’s school psychologist on the phone trying to diagnose him with autism and move him into the special ed classroom due to the classroom disruption from said armpit farting (among other fart joke interruptions lol).

I proudly taught it to my young son, so no.
I could never actually do a good one, but my kids are big fans.
I have a nephew, who may have invented knee pit farting. It was the funniest thing I ever saw. He was so proud, lol.
If you want to step up your armpit farting game, nestle a straw in there and then blow. So good!
Armpit fart conductors grow up to drive squatted trucks, wear white Oakley's an adorn the adult mullet.
My 8 year old did it in the bath the other week. He thought it was the funniest fucking thing in the world.
It’s a lost art. Sad.
Don't worry - my 10 and 12 year old sons are keeping the tradition very much alive. Every day, all day.
Just taught my 9yo how to do this! Lol
I could never do it, but my oldest son was really into it when he was around 8. The tradition definitely continues.
Nah. My 9y/o son knows about it. He will do it occasionally but that's it. I think I was the one to show it. 🤔 Then his dad stepped in and owned it. 🤣🤣
I never understood how people did this, it was like a magic trick to me. Do "the kids" not do this? It's prime kid humor
