Whoopi Goldberg, Ahem, ‘Clears The Air’ On Her Supposed Fart

video
» 52 comments

Last Friday, the entire blogosphere went crazy because it was possible that Whoopi Goldberg farted on live TV (what can I say, bloggers just want to go home for the holidays too). Today during the opening few minutes of The View, Goldberg discussed the incident during some of the most ridiculously funny television you’re going to see all week. Seriously, I want every day to start with someone doing a Zapruder film analysis of a fart joke.

Whoopi Cushion: Did Whoopi Goldberg Just Fart On The View? Again!?

Goldberg explained that deep down she was a “little kid” who sometimes forgets she’s hosting a TV show and just wants to make fart jokes. To prove her point, she opened the segment with a string of fart puns good enough to enchant even the pickiest 12 year old. She then showed the original clip over and over again, zooming in to show that, indeed, she had made the offending noise with her mouth. Still, the news had gotten out there.

“The truth of the matter is, you know, listen, we got questions from all kinds of people. When we told them what we had done, what I’d done, they went ahead and printed it anyway. They ran with it anyway. You know what, look, I know there are times that I’m as silly as can be. Sometimes, it’s just appropriate. I was in the mood.”

The whole segment (which also included Goldberg’s thoughts on replacing the word “fart” with “tree frog” and a discussion of what sounds the View couch makes and why they didn’t make any when Tom Cruise jumped on the damn thing) was pretty hilarious.

You can watch the clip below. I also included the show’s opening because, like Whoopi, I’m a little kid at heart and hearing the View announcer tease this segment in his serious voice cracks me the hell up.

    “sometimes forgets she’s hosting a TV” I could see how that happens with all those cameras and a crowd of people in front of you.

    Why is this a surprise?  She chose a stage name based on a fart making joke gift.

    The LEAST stupid utterance to come from The Whooopster’s body in DECADES.

    her mouth even re-produced the same odor from a real fart.

    Agreed. My morning doesn’t begin until I am brought up to date regarding Whoopis
    farting , vibrators, porn addiction and incontinence.

    Yeah Right… if that was a fake fart she must be a ventriloquist and a bio-terrorist because the sound came from below the couch and the tears on the eyes of Joy (who was next to her) were NOT out of joy.

    You can see why Whoopi is a liberal pro-choice… no that there is anything wrong with it, but disowning the produce of their own loins and avoiding any responsibility is typical.

    Babs will include this in her “Most Fascinating TV Moments of 2011.”

    Her fart was the most intelligent she has ever said.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    And, far more intelligent than anything you’ve ever said.

    She has got to be the repugnant women of TV, even more so than Maddow, with the possible exception of Behar. Now there’s a gruesome threesome!

    Don’t forget about the child raping and sodomizing creep she went out of her way to butt-kiss.

    She sounds just like you, son- only more intelligent and less odoriferous.

    Whoopi has announced that she is the new spokesperson for Beano, and the King will be her “sniff” inspector!

    Well, that was certainly a weak come-back. You’ve fallen mightily since your Nutsofast salad days. More’s the pity.

    Is that it? That’s all ya got?

    I guess you don’t even try anymore do, ya, son?

    I think I speak for all Americans when I wish television had never been invented if this is what constitutes network programming.

    Then again, watching Whoopie discuss farting is no different in content or effect than watching Fox News.

    Gotta add Rosie and Garaffalo, make it a Fab Five… now there’s a vision hard to get out of your head.

    Everybody knows Whoopie is a liberal Democrat!  You can always smell a liberal Democrat a mile away!

    It was the real deal.  No doubt about it.  She is pulling one on everyone which is the norm for her.

    What an ugly, fat smelly POS is Whoopie Goldberg.
    She is obviously auditioning for a slot on MSNBC!

    Disgusting, repugnant, repulsive, dirty person.  Yuk.  Typical of today’s “Worst Generations.”

    This is only one reason why I don’t watch The View.   Scat humor is for children under age 5.

    Which makes it ten times more intelligent any right tard on radio or TV has had to say in decades.

    Too bad you are no where as intelligent as any of those women. I know you feel threatened by intelligence just like school yard bullies that didn’t like nerds. Get over it.

  • Anonymous

    Well Billy, feeling threatened by repugnant women has never really threatened me in that way. The emotions I do feel are more in line with, embarrassment for them, being put off by their personal detestable obscenity, and a profound sadness for their emotional retardation. Kinda’ like what I’m feeling for you, and your need to defend the indefensible. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bill-Rice/100002853695823 Bill Rice

    I don’t know. When FAUX comes on I think it’s scratch and sniff TV gone too far. I actually smell shit coming from Bill-O and Hannity without touching the screen.

    You were right for awhile, too bad you had to make your gaseous connection and ruin it.

    She can buy and sell you on the child labor and sex markets in one of the Republican controlled slave countries, only she is too kind to do that. Ask Tom Delay and Abramoff to grant you further protection from that happening.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bill-Rice/100002853695823 Bill Rice

    She is younger than George Bush and his wife Laura who farted in public. So what generation are you talking about? Are they also repulsive and dirty people?

    Mexico has Brozo on the El Mañanero TV show, but there is a respected journalist behind the costume and makeup.

    The Golden Shower of TV. Faking a fart is even worse since it’s unnecessarily vulgar and disrespectful to Danes. Either way, Goldberg still looks like a muddy log with sensory apparatus on top that someone dragged out of a river and acts like one too. How an audience of morons can think this women is funny explains how the Third World sneaks in by the millions and stays forever.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_76F7SAA3N35X4IBY5BGVQML2YM James

    It was a fart, fart.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_76F7SAA3N35X4IBY5BGVQML2YM James

    Sometimes she forgets she’s human. I’m surprised she hasn’t forgotten how to breathe cuz she was distracted.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_76F7SAA3N35X4IBY5BGVQML2YM James

    She’d make a great “companion” for Rosie. Goldberg could wash the dildos in a bucket while Rosie changes her wig.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_76F7SAA3N35X4IBY5BGVQML2YM James

    I couldn’t give away Goldberg on a sex market for free but she’d make a decent mule.

    They would be if they hugged each other in laughter while making vulgar remarks about frogs.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_76F7SAA3N35X4IBY5BGVQML2YM James

    I don’t get it: how was it funny as a joke? I bet Danes hates her. I do just because she’s a racist moron. And Goldberg too.

    No surprise, most everything that comes out of her mouth is a verbal fart.

    wow- real creative response. I assume you will have your ear tiled at her fat ass each day like the RCA dog to receive her latest sounds and smells of wisdom.

    When I saw Sherrie (spelling?) cross the stage my only thought was:

    “THIS WOMAN has no mirrors in her home.  Why would she be seen on TV in that outfit that made her look like an overstuffed sausage.  Spare us, please!

    Funny woman?  Hardly!  It was such an inappropriate and disrespectful thing to do.  If you want to act like a child, go find a playground somewhere.  These women are complete idiots.  Whoopie and Joyless Behar are the worst!
