- I remember - ( farting ) It's a very... You know, music is a precious creation.
It's something they've created.
So they're very-- you like to laugh.
A lot of big artists like the fact that I've done "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins.
You know, but if you turn around to them and say, well, could we do one of your tracks?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So, they like to laugh, but you-- we mustn't despoil their work.
( laughter, applause ) All right.
I do understand that-- that, you know, when you create something and it's a work of, you know, in your eyes that's a work of art-- it's a labor of love, and then a guy comes along and farts all over it.
- I remember-- - ( farts ) Jim Dawson: In this country, there's been some big changes since my book came out.
In 1999, when "Who Cut The Cheese?" came out, uh, of course, there were a lot of films by that time that had farting gags in 'em.
But the "L.A. Times," for example, would not use that word.
And then over time, I saw that-- that they've started using the word "fart" in the, you know... If they were talking about old people, you know, he's a, you know, he's an old fart.
We're so old, we fart dust. 我们太老了，放屁都是灰尘。
And then gradually, they would start-- they would quote someone that said something about fart jokes because after a while, the idea of fart jokes and films became sort of like a big topic out here.
Because every comedy had at least one fart joke scene.
You know, and it became sort of like, you know, like a, um... a bad example of comedy.
You know, is there, you know, can there be at least one comedy film that doesn't have a fart joke in it?
But I-- I think a lot of the-- a lot of sort of comedy cowboy movies-- Yeah, well, "Blazing Saddles" is the classic.
Well, if somebody would make a comment like that, the "L.A. Times" would print it.
So, gradually, they would, you know, they would... The word "fart" crept into the, um, newspaper, and I think that really expresses the overall acceptance that's been going on for the last, well, let's see, what, this is, uh, 2013.
So we're talking about, you know, if it was 14 years ago.
I think generally it's best for people to get them out.
- Ah... - ( laughs ) - Because... - ( indistinct ) ...there's nothing worse than a cooked one.
( all laughing ) A lot of humor is sho-- shock and shame, you know, that's-- that's all part of what's funny.
