The thing is, this bubble means that it's pretty hard to pretend you didn't fart, while on the flip side, if there is air in your swimsuit, it's easy to be [[GrossoutFakeout mistaken for having farted]]. Also, it's clear who did it unless more than one person is in close proximity to the one who farted. Plus, bubbles are sort of inherently funny anyway.

A lot of comedies seem to follow this rule: if farting is funny, then it's even funnier when it's underwater, the reason being that farting underwater produces a bubble.
The thing is, this bubble means that it's pretty hard to pretend you didn't fart, while on the flip side, if there is air in your swimsuit, it's easy to be mistaken for having farted. Also, it's clear who did it unless more than one person is in close proximity to the one who farted. Also, bubbles are sort of inherently funny anyway.
