7	Flatulence is set aflame.

9	This ''does'' work in RealLife, though [[RealityIsUnrealistic not always, and not very impressively]]. Despite the fact that it ''is'' TruthInTelevision, DontTryThisAtHome ([[RumpRoast for reasons that should be obvious]]).
10
11	Science fact: farts are, essentially, just the body expelling methane. Methane also flees quickly. Timing is required. Rather than the huge flame you see in [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark certain cartoons]], it'll be a tiny blink-and-you'll-miss-it flame. Don't ask us how we know. [[note]]Oh, and if you're unlucky, you may char your lower intestine. So, really, just don't. What are you, anyway? A vulgarite? Get a life and a hobby.[[/note]]
12
13	Compare {{Fartillery}}. Nothing whatever to do with {{Gaslighting}}. Can be a RevoltingRescue if it's used to save someone. Could overlap with GassyGastronomy if people fart while eating beans over a campfire.

28	* In the first chapter of the ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' spin-off ''Kanna's Daily Life'', Kanna tries to cheer up Saikawa, who is embarrassed about passing gas while she's with her, by letting out a fart herself. Given how Kanna's a dragon, her fart ends up being a giant blaze, with the following panel explaining how the fire that some dragons store in their stomach for fire breathing could also end up going out the "wrong hole".

35	[[folder:Comedy]]
36	* British stand-up comic Creator/JasperCarrott was one of the first people to popularize the idea on his album ''The [[strike:Un]]Recorded Jasper Carrott''. A long routine culminates in his anxiously delivering a friend stricken by the effects of blowback to a hospital casualty ward. The terrible Matron takes one look and demands "Has he been lighting his farts?"

51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]

62	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
63	* ''Film/SixShooter'': The young man tells a silly but supposedly true story of a cow swelling up from trapped flatulence, and how a bystander stabbed the cow with a screwdriver to vent the methane.

70	* [[{{Gasshole}} Papa Klump]] farts on a candlestick and sets a restaurant on fire in ''Film/NuttyProfessorIITheKlumps''.
71	* Kids in ''Film/ReturnToSleepAwayCamp'' have some fun with this.
72	* ''Film/Tremors3BackToPerfection'' takes this trope to the extreme. The Assblasters are capable of propelling themselves to flight at high altitudes by igniting their own farts. One even used this technique to try and burn through Burt's bomb shelter.
73	* In the 1993 Live-Action film of ''Film/DennisTheMenace'', 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.

87
88	[[folder:Literature]]
89	* Dave Barry's column "Apocalypse Cow" tells of a university professor who set fire to methane emitted by cows for classroom demonstration purposes.
90	* [[PlayedForDrama Not played for laughs]]: In Creator/StephenKing's novel ''Literature/{{It}}'', Beverly catches the bullies standing around with their pants down, lighting their farts on fire.
91	* Happens in Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/TheVorGame'', 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".
92	* Recounted in Creator/SpikeMilligan's memoir, ''Literature/AdolfHitlerMyPartInHisDownfall''.
93	* One of James Herriott's [[Series/AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall autobiographic novels]] features a story (well, urban legend, actually; see RealLife below) about gastric surgery on a bovine and a demonstration of the flammability of stomach gas. HilarityEnsues as the resulting burst of flame is quite a lot bigger than anticipated...
94	* Elmer the Fire Farter in a ''Literature/StephaniePlum'' spinoff, ''Plum Spooky''.
95	* The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Literature/GuardsGuards'' features Sybil Ramkin, a woman obsessed with breeding the small woebegone creatures known as Swamp Dragons.

As alone among dragons, Errol flames from, err, the opposite end. [[note]]Which he then uses for jet propulsion. [[/note]]
96	* Kobato Hasegawa from ''Literature/{{Haganai}}'' is mentioned to have done this as a hobby at one point.
97	[[/folder]]
98
99	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
100	* A fantasy-version of Rygel the 16th as the Black Knight uses this as a weapon in ''Series/{{Farscape}}.''
101	* The ''Series/MythBusters'' tried it (in a segment they [[ExecutiveMeddling 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.
102	* In ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' episode "Cash", Vyvyan thinks he's pregnant, backed up by his [[BalloonBelly rapidly expanding gut]]. Turns out it was just gas. Right after it's released, Mike (who had left because he didn't want to watch) comes back into the room, appears not to smell anything, lights a cigar to congratulate Vyv -- and blows up the house.
103	* Creator/StephenColbert attempted this to demonstrate how to fix the oil spill in the gulf. It didn't go so well and we instead got some RelaxOVision as the stagehands put him out. On the bright side, he doesn't need to worry about that waxing appointment anymore.
104	* A segment of a [[MindScrew bizarre German game show]] featured a sort of "word of the day." The clue was as follows: [[MsFanservice A woman in lingerie]] bends over, and the camera does a close-up of her butt. A flame is brought near it, and the result is something like a Bunsen burner. (The word of the day was "gas.")
105	* Happens in the Halloween episode of ''Series/{{Bottom}}''. Richie makes "Sprouts Mexicane", a special Halloween snack containing year-old sprouts and other rather nasty and spicy ingredients (including a full jar of curry powder, three whole bottles of Tabasco sauce, and ''gunpowder''). The guys all pass out and when they wake up, flatulence ensues.
106	* In the ''Series/ImInTheBand'' 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 [[EpicFail fails hilariously]]
107	* Happens at least twice in ''Series/OneThousandWaysToDie'' with fatal consequences.
108	* Happens in ''Series/{{House}}'', when the team is operating on a {{hikikomori}} with an intestinal blockage. A doctor goes to cauterize a bleed... "Hey, wait! The gas..." ''FOOSH!''
109	* In ''Recap/DoctorWhoTheCurseOfFatalDeath'', the Doctor relates the tragic tale of the Tersurians, a race that communicated solely through flatulence. Sadly, the entire race was killed when one of them discovered fire.
110	* Charley Boorman does this for real in the second episode of the motorbike travel show ''[[Series/LongWayRound Long Way Down]]''.
111	* Series/UnitedStatesOfTara: One of Tara's video diaries in Season 2 shows Buck doing this.
112	* ''Series/{{Bargearse}}'' ends with our hero committing suicide by [[{{gasshole}} farting in his car]] and then lighting a cigarette.

115
116	[[folder:Music]]
117	* "[[Music/WereOnlyInItForTheMoney Let's Make the Water Turn Black]]" by Music/FrankZappa is a parody of the PsychedelicRock style, which was popular back then. While this genre usually had [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs narco-mystical]] and "[[NewAgeRetroHippie make love, not war]]" themed lyrics, this song has lyrics about two kids burning eachothers' farts ([[ToiletHumor and some other disgusting stuff]])
118	-->Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day...\
119	Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away
120	* [[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.
121	* The Music/{{Genesis\|Band}} song "Music/SuppersReady" has the lyric "Oooh, can't you feel our souls ignite...". This has inevitably led to the mishearing "can't you feel arseholes ignite".
122	* Music/HammerFall's "Hearts on Fire" is commonly mutated into this [[TropeNamers very trope title]]. "Burning, burning with desire," indeed.
123	* One of the many problems Creator/VictoriaWood has with the subject of "Things Would Never Have Worked."
124	-->I wanted poems, but you wouldn't write them,\
125	My earlobes nibbled, but you wouldn't bite them,\
126	You'd only fart, and then you'd try to light them.\
127	Things would never have worked.
128	* "[[TheBogan Yob]]" by Music/{{TISM}}:
129	--> If it's a party, fight!\
130	If it's winnings, skite!\
131	If it's politics, right!\
132	If it's flatulence, light!
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Pinballs]]
136	* The playfield for [=WhizBang=] Pinball's ''[[Pinball/WhoaNellieBigJuicyMelons Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons]]'' has a bucking horse that gets its flatulence lit by a match; the ensuing fireball is used as a score light.
137	* In Creator/SternPinball's ''Pinball/FamilyGuy'', Peter shoots flames out of his rear during "Fart Multiball".
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Video Games]]
141	* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'': Bo Rai Cho's Fartality.
142	* ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'':
143	** The Lighter trinket makes all farts explode and leave a small fire on the ground. Trying to use this offensively can (and usually ''will'') hurt Isaac, but it also causes enemies who fart to self-destruct.
144	** The Ashpit boss Singe can pull out a match and ignite his farts once his health runs low. It's a lot deadlier than it sounds.
145	* ''VideoGame/SplosionMan'' seems to 'splode like this from time to time.
146	* Chimchar from ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' has a flame coming out of its buttocks whenever it's awake. The flame is fueled by, to quote the Pokédex, "gas made in its belly."
147	** Also, Reshiram actually has the ability to shoot flames out of its tail.
148	** Stunky and Skuntank can learn Flamethrower and Fire Blast. Later games try to cover it up by having them shoot fire from the mouth, but given that they're based on skunks...
149	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', if you try to tell [[BoisterousBruiser Oghren's]] ex-girlfriend Felsi that he's more fun than other men she probably knows, she'll say "If by 'more fun' you mean 'more likely to light farts on fire.'" And this isn't even the dumbest of his antics that she recalls...
150	* In the intro from the Enhanced Version of ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'' the jesters pull this off, to the uproarious amusement of King Demavend and causing the royal advisor to FacePalm.
151	* The main gimmick behind ''VideoGame/OrcAttackFlatulentRebellion'' is to use flatulence [[{{Fartillery}} as a weapon]]. The best way to do so is to pass gas around a giant fire, which is essentially as effective as using a grenade.
152	* ''VideoGame/TattooAssassins'' had this as a shared fatality for all characters. This is about as tasteful as it sounds.
153	* In ''VideoGame/MarioStrikers'', should Wario's Gas Mask special happen to come into contact with Bowser's Flame Storm special, it'll detonate in a huge explosion that'll knock out anyone who happens to be in the vicinity.
154	* ''VideoGame/{{Boogerman}}'' can do this as an attack and to fly, after eating a chili pepper.
155	* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': The Gas Blast kill taunt, available when the Pyro has the Thermal Thruster equipped, is implied to be this: the Pyro using a match and the jetpack on his back to light his farts on fire.
156	* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': The Congalala, introduced in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2Dos'', changes what kind of...[[{{Fartillery}} "munitions"]] it uses [[PowerUpFood depending on if it's eaten a Nitroshroom, Mopeshroom, or Parashroom.]] When it eats a Nitroshroom, the mushroom's volatility sets its farts ''and'' its belches on fire.
157	* One scene in ''VideoGame/LiveALive'''s Prehistoric chapter has Gori fart next to a fire, which ends up exploding in everyone's faces. Pogo and Beru aren't pleased when that happens.
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Web Animation]]
161	* From the Toys/{{Bionicle}} web animations for the Toa Mata arc: A group of Ta-Matoran are on a patrol for Rahkshi, with their captain on watch while the rest of the patrol has breakfast around a fire. The captain is hunkered down behind cover and staring intently into the woods when all of a sudden there's a farting sound. He stands up and turns around to see one of his underlings facing away from the fire with a smoking rear.
162	* ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'': TheGrotesque Jermy Fartz does this in his debut episode, not on purpose, but as a consequence of standing to close to a the flame of a bunsen burner.
163	* ''WebAnimation/TheLazerCollection 5'' introduces this with great pomp as "The moment you've been rubbing your rhubarb for." One guy is filming another attempting to fart onto a candle, but the other guy decides it was "a false alarm." As they express their disappointment, the second guy suddenly farts a gigantic lazer that rockets him into the sky and disintegrates him.
164	* In ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'', Waluigi uses a Fire Flower to light one of Wario's farts to a nuclear degree.
165	[[/folder]]
166
167	[[folder:Webcomics]]
168	* Turkmenistan tries this out once in the ''Webcomic/{{Polandball}}'' comic "[[http://i.imgur.com/THx5ZoZ.png Farts]]" to impress Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Russia (who are incidentally, countries with many natural gas reserves). However, this has the unfortunate side effect of turning his butt into [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_to_Hell a fairly popular tourist attraction.]]
169	* [[http://science2311.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Hazard-621388850 This happens]] all because of the teacher's TrademarkFavoriteFood [[MasochistsMeal being]] BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Indian Curry.
170	[[/folder]]
171
172	[[folder:Web Original]]
173	* In chapter 7 of ''Literature/{{TOT}}'', Maximus suffers from a bad case of flatulence, and Toby decides to use said opportunity to light some of his farts.
174	[[/folder]]
175
176	[[folder:Web Videos]]
177	* Because [[TruthInTelevision it's possible to light a fart]], there are hundreds of videos on Website/YouTube that demonstrate the act.
178	* In the short video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdF_JwUl2Lw Gus]]'', fire is discovered when a spectacularly flatulent caveman baby encounters a smoldering lightning-struck tree.
179	[[/folder]]
180
181	[[folder:Western Animation]]
182	* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "Ignition Point", Finn and Jake fart and belch into carrier bags, then tie them up and throw them into the air as explosive targets for Flame Princess to shoot at with her elemental fire powers.
183	* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' 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. [[NoodleIncident It's never adequately explained what led up to this]], leaving it to the viewer's imagination.
184	* A ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' short {{exaggerated\|Trope}} this for a hilariously disastrous fuel-air bomb when Lazlo was invited to a ceremony right after a bean-eating contest. The beans caused gas to build up and overload Lazlo's tummy. The moment the ceremonial torch was lit, [[PottyFailure he let it all go]].
185	* ''WesternAnimation/TheCanterburyTales'': In this AnimatedAdaptation, the famous fart that Nicholas lets fly into Absolon's face bursts into flame when it hits the hot poker Absolon is wielding, leaving Absolon with AshFace.
186	* Accidentally used in ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'' to fuel a campfire. Also used in the episode "Cellar Beware" as a "party trick" by Grandma-ma.
187	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
188	** The second segment of "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1" had the Griffins [[RadiationInducedSuperpowers develop superpowers from toxic waste]]; when Chris discovers he's {{p\|layingWithFire}}yrokinetic, Peter gets the idea to do this, resulting in a long trail of flame.
189	** In the first segment of "Untitled Griffin Family History", the universe is a result of God lighting one.
190	* This is actually one of the many superpowers ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' gained as Johnny X as a result of one of his sisters' giving him mutant powers.
191	--> '''Johnny X:''' Power poots, go!
192	* Despite her usual demure manner, ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', in her [[OneWingedAngel Bad Kaeloo]] form, [[ItMakesSenseInContext lights one of her farts with a match]] to burn a pile of skin mags and comic books.
193	* In ''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.
194	* Often when Meg farts in ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies'' she tends to do so rather explosively (literally).
195	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': The flaming flatulence was featured in the very first episode, "[[Recap/SouthParkS1E1CartmanGetsAnAnalProbe Cartman Gets an Anal Probe]]". "Dude, you're farting fire!"
196	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Island (2023)'': In "Jurassic Fart", Damien defeats the red raptor by ForceFeeding it a pot of beans while it's near the lit gas stove, causing it to blow itself up.
197	[[/folder]]
198
199	[[folder:Real Life]]
200	* There is a ''very'' good reason why this shouldn't be done in RealLife. Namely, the possibility of burns on the anus and genitals, clothing or skin catching fire, and outright permanent scarring and psychological damage.
201	* In RealLife, pig farms have to be routinely ventilated, or else [[http://nautil.us/blog/the-curious-case-of-the-exploding-pig-farms they risk exploding]].
202	** The ammonia would kill them before the risk of explosion would. At high enough concentrations, ammonia can blind a person and make them suffer severe respiratory consequences.
203	* This was given in ''The Book of Heroic Failures'', listing an episode in which a vet attending a cow in a barn stuck a tube into "that end which is not capable of facial expression" and struck a light. The resulting jet of flame set fire to the barn.
204	** Which is probably a reference to a Creator/JamesHerriot story above. Or both referencing the same {{Urban Legend\|s}}.
205	* There is at least one Website/DarwinAwards story with this. It backfired into the guy's rectum. Ouch.
206	** [[http://www.darwinawards.com/legends/legends2000-06.html Cow Bomb]] is a 2000 Darwin Award given to a total idiot who successfully lit farts [[spoiler:of a cow -- the cow then exploded as the flame entered the cow's rectum and [[UndignifiedDeath killed the aforementioned idiot by means of flying cow femur bone shrapnel]]]].
207	* A [[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-cows/flatulent-cows-start-fire-at-german-dairy-farm-police-idUSBREA0Q1HY20140127 confirmed case]] of this happened in Germany. Long story short, too many cows, not enough ventilation, and a static buildup. Thankfully, no person or cow was injured.
