Which Sound is Worse: A Burp or a Fart?

[Zook]

I hate the sound of a burp. It's absolutely disgusting. I'll take the smelliest of farts over hearing a burp or belch.

How about you?

[wolfking]

Ummm.....errrr......ahhh....WTF?!

[wolfking]

Welll.......ugghh.....both have varying degrees of sounds, attributes, properties and styles that it's hard to compare them based on a generalisation. 

But, if I had to vote, and making a generalisation, then yeah, probably a burp is more offensive based on the general sound and it coming out of someones mouth.  If the fart makes me hold my nose however.........

From 'The Drew Carey Show'.  His friend Kate adds sound effects as a joke, and the video accidentally gets switched for his work presentation.

I find a burp being a weird and twisted appreciation of what's just been eaten. A fart is gross and reminds you of gross - albeit natural and concering things we all do - things. And they smell. A burp smells only if someone does it right in your face.

So farts are worse.

Farts. But that's also why they're way funnier than a burp could ever be. Farts are both awful and hilarious.

And wet.

That too.

It's gross, it's completely immature, and it's highly inappropriate, but I always crack up laughing at the dinner scene in The Nutty Professor. That is a garbage movie but that one scene (and the one with Dave Chappelle as Reggie the comedian) makes my sides hurt, because when I was growing up I remember my dad wheezing with laughter at the scene as it went on and it's just so ridiculous

Farts are way funnier!  Especially in the classroom, so disruptive and effective.   

[Herrick]

It really depends on the individual burp or fart. The burps that come along with puking are always grotesque to my ears. And some farts sound like the person almost shit themselves.

[dparrott]

Both are funny to me, but burps are louder and sound more abrasive?

[Dublagent66]

Neither, because it's actually possible for both to be silent. 

[Stadler]

I don't find neither to be that bad, per se, but a burp going wrong (a little throw up in the back of the throat, a couple minutes of burning sensation) isn't nearly as bad as a fart going wrong (drawing mud, potential skid marks, an emergency trip to the can). 

[cramx3]

Since it's only judged by sound, I'll go with burps which usually just sound nasty.  Farts, while the certainly smell nasty, most of the time sound hilarious.

[a51502112]

This makes me question, are burps just mouth farts?

[Dublagent66]

Yeah, and farts are just ass burps. 

[cramx3]

An even worse sound, at least in terms of being annoying... the sound of people chewing with their mouth open.  Give me burps and farts all day over that.

[Northern Lion]

I'm loving these comments!  My wife and I just read through them and laughed our hind ends off.

My two cents:  I think burbs are more rude generally speaking, but farts are more gross generally speaking.  But farts are also more funny most of the time, so I prefer them.

[The Walrus]

I've figured it out. You know that really gross pseudo-burp people make as they're about to vomit? You know what I'm talking about. That really froggy croak type of belch where you know something chunky is looming behind it. That's the worst sound.

I love how I downed half a liter of Pepsi Max before reading this.

Burps are more "offensive" but farts are definitely funnier.

You nailed it.  That IS the worste sound.

[King Postwhore]

My ass does way more talking and I think it's funny.  The ass wins again. 

[DragonAttack]

It may not sound worse, but if you're in an elevator........

[cramx3]

... this is too open ended.  A nasty hot dog burp in this situation could be just as bad as a hershey squirt for everyone in that elevator.

[The Walrus]

Oh no way. I'll take the hot dog burp. It's less potent and, above all else, doesn't smell like poo which is extremely important in this small human sardine can

[Podaar]

^ What an absolutely riveting debate this is!

My eldest daughter, when she was about three years old, accidentally belched. With a (completely adorable) look of confusion on her face, said, "I farted out my mouth!" So, with that in mind, I'd have to vote neither. They are equally awesome.

[Zook]

Sorry guys. I completely forgot I posted this. The topic came up again, and I was like, oh shit did I ever post that thread?

Thanks for the replies.

I’ve been around since the old forums, and I don’t post often. I choose my arguments well, and I only get involved in discussions I feel are worth my time. So, with that being said, here I am. Now... There are a lot of factors involved that determine whether or not a burp or a fart would be deemed by me disgusting, inappropriate, appropriate and so forth. A well-timed burp or fart can effectively end or begin confrontation. They’re both excellent tools for changing focus and causing misdirection. A proper disgusting fart can even lead to marriage.

Consider this... You’re in an elevator packed with people. You’re standing there trying to look in a neutral direction to avoid making awkward eye contact with anyone, but you end up catching the eye of someone you find attractive and maybe exchange a half baked smile. So, your mind starts coming up with all sorts of scenarios as to how you could approach this person without coming across as a creep. A nice devastating fart is perfect for this. Let one out silently, and begin to look around at random people in an accusatory manor while attempting to exchange a whodunnit look with the person you find attractive.
When you get off the elevator, you’ll have the perfect ice breaker conversation that could lead to a date, to more dates, to a serious relationship, to marriage, kids, etc.

Somewhere around your 40-50th wedding anniversary when you’re with your wife at your son/daughters/grandkids wedding reception and you’re doing that longest married couple left dancing thing the DJ arranges, and you’re the last left on the dance floor, you can look deeply into their eyes and say, “Honey... Remember the fart in the elevator when we first met? Well... That was me.” Then you immediately let out a loud fart if you can (eat a lot of beans and sausage beforehand). /endscene
