You’ve seen fart pranks. You’ve seen grumpy old man acts. But when you combine them? You get pure comedic gold. Enter the Old Man Pooter Prank—a dangerously funny character armed with gray hair, a walker, and explosive sound effects.
Dressed like someone’s retired uncle who hasn’t smiled since 1972, I waddled into stores, parks, and elevators with The Pooter hidden in my palm. What followed? The kind of reactions that make people cry-laugh and slowly back away in confusion.
First stop: the grocery store. As I reached for the beans (of course), I let out a long, juicy PFFFRRRT-BLAAAARP. A woman next to me dropped her basket. A kid screamed. Someone actually said, “Sir, are you okay?” Deadpan face. No words. Just one more squeaky blast as I walked away.
Then came the park bench scene. I sat next to a couple on a date, adjusted my seat, and let out a wet thunderstorm of a fart. The guy burst out laughing. The girl stood up and left. (Oops.)
But the best one? The elevator. Tight space. Full of strangers. I groaned like my hips hurt… then delivered a rumble so deep the floor shook. The whole elevator went silent. I whispered, “It’s the chili.” They lost it.
Being the farting old man is more than a prank—it’s performance art.
