Why is flatulence considered embarrassing/humorous?
In: Biology
Other people do not want to smell it, so it is rude to fart on purpose, and embarrassing to fart on accident.
As for the humor, I am not sure, personally I never found it to be fundamentally funny. One common reaction to embarrasing stuff is to laugh about it. Farts are also often unexpected, and surprise is a major factor in comedy.
