The innocence of silly humor - Rick Glassman
These notes were generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies.
Two tests provide valuable information: people who choose to watch The Simpsons like this type of humor. People who think farting is funny and watch The Simpsons are genuinely nice, innocent people. When people don't think farting is funny, there may be trauma, such as female friends with issues from how their mom receives them, needing to be beautiful or a certain way to be a woman.
Bummer. Pun not intended.
Farting is gross, but the question is if it's funny. If not, they're not compatible.
You're saying that the tip of the spear of your social Venn diagram crossing over is Simpsons and funny farting.
To be fair, you don't have to think farting is funny, but Rick has never been in a relationship with someone who didn't laugh at farts—it's not a coincidence. It's more about not thinking farting is gross, like going to the bathroom to fart instead of doing it around others.
Everyone farts; it depends on the baseline. Whatever your baseline, come over, change clothes, sit on the blanket. Farting turns inside clothes into outside—inside you inside clothes. How does that feel on the couch? Farting on the couch contaminates indoor clothes with inside of you, even if pants aren't off. Pants are like fart condoms.
Pants are fart condoms. Yeah, it's my merch actually. Imagine it. Just pants are fart condoms. Come on. That's fart crazy. That fart Oz Pearlman, the mentalist.
Microscopic poo particles get through pants and jeans onto the blanket and couch—it's not zero, it's inevitable. Before going into the bathroom, close the toilet seat before flushing to avoid atomization, even if only pee.
Japanese toilets are heated, automated with built-in bum spray and bidet—they're amazing. But they don't fully solve the issue; some close, but flushing can still aerosolize particles like Indiana Jones sneaking under the door, flicking poo particles.
Logic: control poop and pee particles in certain places, but the room has the most soft furnishings. If you have to fart, you'll fart and hide it. Gratuitous farts might be funnier. It's not about fart or don't fart—do it openly.
Rick's podcast uses animations, like adding a fart and little shit that lingers. Got a dog for OCD immersion therapy: ex-girlfriend's dog bypassed rules—no wiping butt or belly, but okay on bed or furniture because alternative is no dog. Also, dog forces leaving house after days of editing without shows.
Now allows outdoor clothes inside, even in rain, without sitting down—getting better via challenges. Dog on blanket is fine; farts okay with fart condom pants. If funny enough, shame hack is finding a bit in it.
Hack to shame: find a bit in embarrassment—makes you feel valuable, seen differently, or connected. Not joking all the time, but craft in uncomfortable conversations:
- Set expectations: "Hey, there's something on my mind. It's not that deep, but do you have five minutes?"
- Low-ask example: "I have a sty in my eye and brought sunglasses—could we do glasses for a bit?"
Buttholes have the best comedic timing.
Every fart has perfect timing; if you think otherwise, not compatible.
You might be a redneck... Do you have that over there?
