I first listened to this in the mid 1970's. My brother and I laughed so hard we ended up with hiccups. I still have tears running down my face as I listen to it again. Thanks for the upload!
Fond memories from my college days in the 60's. A fellow student had this on reel to reel. On a whim I searched for it and here it is! RU-vid is great!!!
My older brother brought this home in reel to reel format in the mid 60's. I was11-12 yrs old. I remember sitting around in his room listening to this with all of our friends literally ROTFLMAO! I was asking my wife about it today and she never heard of it. When we listened to it here I can't believe I remeberd it almost word for word. It's frightening how much this recording influenced my life!!
My parents came to Canada in 1968 and someone they knew had this record. I've always heard my dad and uncles make jokes about the names of the farts and so on but never heard the actual recording until now. Hilarious is right!
As kids, my brothers and I sat with the adults as my Pop played this, and we all nearly pissed our pants laughing! The record was titled "The Contest" under the "Ha-Ha Records" label. Thanks for the memories.
I remember hearing this on Dr. Demento back in 1975. I haven't heard it since, although I've searched for it a few times. This brings back memories. Thanks.
OMG! It's 45 years since I heard this and it's still absolutely hilarious! (I remember it well because shortly after leaving the pub I wrote my car off.)
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I heard it once, decades ago, from a college buddy who had it on cassette. We HOWLED and I've wanted to much to hear it again.
my brother in law introduced this to me about 6 years ago, still cracks me up every time I hear it. How in the world is the announcer able to read this without laughing? ? ? Paul Boomer definately deserves to win!
Can't believe we found this on You Tube. We had this on 45 rpm records and had so many laughs in the 1950s and 60s. It was lost and we always talk about it. I love the Triple Flutterblast!
Oh man! Thanks for the upload. I used to listen to this all the time with my dad in the 80's. Saw the cassette on his desk at work so I had to find it. This was the only time my dad would let me say shit because we would all yell out "OH HE SHIT!!". Thanks again :)
My dad had this on a 8track back in the 70's!! Haven't heard it in 35yrs! I've wondered about it for years.Can't wait to let my kid's hear it!! OMG funny as he@#!!
Super funny record. My brother in the 70s when we were little heard this at a friends house and told me about it and always will remember him talking about it. Thanks for the post.
Ahh the memories this brings back. It feels just like yesterday drinking with the guys and doing our very best not to shit ourselves from the hilarity. Many thanks for sharing this .
Can't believe I'm hearing this. We used to play it over and over again when we were kids in the early 70s. It was a one sided 12" record with a blank white label....Many thanks for posting it !
I first heard this when I was still at junior school. My father came home with a tape that was a copy of a copy of a copy etc. I've been telling my husband about it for years, but could never find another copy. Thank you so much for posting.
I have one of the 78 rpm records, it was called "The Contest". I got it from my father-in law in 1970 and he had it for years before that. Have not heard it for a while (no turn table) thanks for putting it on youtube. it should be preserved.
I'm seeing comments on here from lots of people saying they heard this back in the 70s, 60s... even the 50s! I didn't realise that this recording was THAT old! I thought it done back in the 90s and just recorded/produced to sound like an old archive. Haha! Anyway, this has made my weekend finding this again! :)
Back in1953 or 54 as a grade school student a classmate found this in his dad's record collection. Of course we all had to hear it . Very risqué for the time for 4 twelve yr olds. Can't believe it's still out there
One day my dad was telling me about it and I was laughing my ass off and about 12 minutes he farted and told me to look for this on RU-vid.. We laughed non-stop then my mom called and thought something was wrong Because I was crying over how funny this is!!!
I found this one sided antique record at the town dump in Connecticut over 40 years ago. It was severely scratched, but when I saw the title "Sporting Event" and the date 7/ 5/55 (my birthday only in 1949), I had to hear what it was. Imagine my surprise when I heard this hysterical piece. Years later, my parents discovered it in my record collection while I was at work and told me they were laughing so hard they were crying! I was surprised my Mom, a very "modest" women enjoyed this so much.
I heard this contest in the late 40s on 78 rpm record. It was recorded by 2 entertainers on a cruise ship. The audience sounds were made by cymbals of a drum set on the ship.
I don't think that's true. The standard story is that in 1946 just after the war the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) gave their sound engineers one of the recently acquired Reel to Reel tape decks which the Germans had invented and which had never been seen before by anyone in the English speaking world. They just told them to check it out and see if it could be useful. And this is what those sound engineers came up with. No particular person took credit for it and the CBC didn't want to take credit for it. The recording "got out in the wild" and all kinds of people started making copies of it and passing it to their friends. The term "went viral" wasn't invented in those days but this was perhaps the first instance of that.
Havn't heard this in Years lolol Love it ! My Father had a copy of this on a very old Reel to Reel tape.....we played it so many times...lol...we wore the top out !
I hear ya on the influence part.Same thing for me.My dad got it on 8track in the 70's.I wished for years I could hear it again!! It popped into my head when my son let a few rip.Just had to look it up on the web.Funny what influences your life isn't.
My Dad played it one time for us three sons lmaughed my ass off too while we we're playing pool ...we had our own farting contest right there in our basemnt lol ....My brother did a real "thunderstorm" and my Dad says " Good Lord!!.. You win I'm going upstairs lmaoo"
My Dad brought this home back in what must have been the 60’s and we thought it was hilarious. My cousin and I immediately had to attempt out own “contest.” I think I won. 😆🤣😂
while serving in the Air Force our BEMO officer memorized this down to the Quick....I heard him many times entertaining the troops.....his diction and accents were perfect...
One of the original creators and commentators is a man by the last name of Helfner. I was best friends with his late son, Glenn who played this for me at his home on several occasions. I have a copy of his cassette tape that he made from the original recording his father helped create while in college. The original has no bleep in the end!! I sure miss my friend Glenn and his sense of humor!! He obviously got it from his father!! Here’s to the Helfner’s 🥂!!!!
There was a young fellow from Sparta, A really magnificent farter, On the strength of one bean He'd fart God Save The Queen, And Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
When you have a creative mind, there is no greater fun than fun with your imagination. Everything from Lady Windersmere's fan, to the farting post bunting, to the Bronx Suze Arch Bugle, that guy was laughing himself to tears, thinking up that stuff. Can't help but admire the guy. He was a genius of a creative writer, a superb actor, and I think the funniest straight-man comedian of all time. You know of course, he threw his voice for the interviews. He was Lord Windersmere and Paul Boomer himself.
I still have this album. I wish that I could find the one where Jonathan Winters did this. It is even funnier. It used to be played by Dr. Demento on his radio show.
& i thought America was the only country in the world , where you belch & say "excuse me" & when you fart, evry1 laffs about it.....it must be the continent thats warped......hilarious!!! thanx for sharing
If they actually had farting contests I could have been a contender a few times. One Sunday my brother, a friend and I stopped at a restaurant to have a Taco Pizza with mild sauce on it. Instead we got one with hot sauce. The next day in school I had more gas than a herd of cows. It was so bad I was in pain holding it. I was let to go to the bathroom and let it go. Great pressure was behind this nearly volcanic eruption. That was the most powerful fart I have ever had. 2nd time was in the summer of 2015 as I was taking two antibiotics for chronic Lyme disease. Any time I had dairy products I was very gassy and my farts were bad enough to wipe out a small village. I stunk to high heaven. I don’t know if my pants ever recovered from that.
I remember hiding @ top of stairs while the adults partied in basement, still tell jokes i heard in `77 on 8-track...damn I`m gettin old but this shit is still funny
The day after eating a Taco Pizza with hot sauce on it I blew what could have been a challenger to the worlds longest fart. I was in discomfort all day in school making multiple trips to the bathroom. One that I let go in the bathroom during class had such force that it was just the sound of air blowing. Two young men walked into the bathroom just as I was leaving and they probably didn’t stay in there long.
So bizarre that I used to have this on a cassette tape, but just came across this in my favorite record store. Laff Records Laff A152 Stereo Lp. Paid $4 for it. Side 2 has a Soul comedy duo called Potts and Panzy. (2 black guys, one in drag as the woman, Panzy)
My son -n- law, Chad just awoke me to this FARTING POLE!! I thought it was him, but I would deffinety give him...O....300 PTS. you should call Chad Swager to the Farting Pole, everything sticks out when he's getting ready, reckless, tense and BOOM HE LETS HER RIP!!! Good Job Big DADDY!!!
He called Lord Windesmear your highness which is reserved for the royals. He would be His Lordship. or addressed Your Lordship. Other than that a clever effort.
The first time I heard this I was with two couples. Both of the women didn’t think it was funny. I laughed my behind off with the men, and when I realized the other women weren’t laughing, I was slightly embarrassed. Slightly, not much. Who doesn’t think farts are funny?
