Toilet Humour

Scene: Film producer's office
Cast: Speilberg, the producer; Prat, prospective screenwriter

Speilberg: OK Prat, tell me what you got.

Prat: Farticus, it's about a slave in the old days, has some indigestion issues, bit windy you might say...

Speilberg: You mean he farts a lot?

Prat: Yeah that's it, the Romans get so fed up with him they crucify his ass.

Speilberg: You got anything else?

Prat: Yeah sure, I got plenty, what about The Godfarter?

Speilberg: Let me guess, he farts a lot.

Prat: That's right he goes around making people a stink they can't endure.

Speilberg: Is that it?

Prat: No I still got plenty, what about The Three Farteers? They ride about all over France having sword fights and singing a three fart harmony. I tell you this one is gold.

Speilberg: No offence Prat but you're a bit of a one trick pony, everything is fart with you.

Prat: There's not a farticle of merit in what you say, I bet you hated Gone With The Wind. But just to prove you wrong I'll turn the page and give you something completely different.

Speilberg: What?

Prat: The Turd Man

Speilberg: That's been done already by Orson Welles

Prat: No that's the old version. This one comes from the book by Ronald Soul.

Speilberg: Ronald Soul - never heard of him!

Prat: Yeah, he's normaly just goes with his inital, like C.B DeMille

Speilberg: So it's R. Soul.

Prat: That's right

Speilberg: So what's it about?

Prat: Well, he's sort of a super hero but with sanitary problems, his main antagonist is this mad scientist called Professor Flush.

Speilberg: Tell you what Prat, I'll get back to you another day, right now I'm pooped.

Hmmm, a poor ending on a half idea Lord Snooty. Try a rewrite. It would help as well if you put an extra line between the dialogue to make it easy to read. Thanks for posting.

Obviously you can't beat a good fart joke, but I doubt it merits a whole sketch to itself.

You need to follow through on this advice.

I reckon the God Farter would sound better, so to speak, than fartfather.
Just personal opinion, but I reckon if you are gonna rely on farts being funny, you have to make any puns super clever and cutting, there's not many fart jokes that haven't already been shouted a million times today in playgrounds up and down the country, so reckon your going to need some inspired Stuart Lee type shiz.
