I know right wouldnt that make it whistle? lol unless they were sound deading underwear too. I personally wouldnt be very into a girl if she dropped trou and she had on these things
Flatulence filtering underwear.
That is the product.
It is being advertised completely appropriately.
This is not a fail in the slightest – unless you are 12 years old and still find fart jokes amusing, in which case you are in fact the fail here.
Grown up? Really? Air just came out of your ass, carrying with it microscopic particles of $#!+. How is that not funny? People are inhaling poo! That’s not funny, it’s hilarious!
It’s part of the advertising campaign.
The fact that it is ‘vulgar’ is irrelevant as it clearly suggests what the product is for and does so in a playful way, it is making the consumer feel more comfortable with a rather sensitive issue and maybe crack a smile at the thought of a such a pair of underwear.
I think fart jokes are hilarious… but this is for people with IBS or crohn’s (sp?) disease, sooooo unfortunately it’s not as hilarious as it was when I thought it was for nerdy gamers eating a grande meal at Taco Bell every Friday night.
Yeah, and I actually think this is a pretty good invention.
However, I disagree with this statement from the web site: “Shreddies make the perfect gift and card, with 1 pair of our flatulence underwear inside a stylish box with room to write your message inside the front flap.”
If you give these to someone as a gift, I think you’re not necessarily going to make them feel happy. Perhaps even less so if you give Shreddies’ “feminine odour control” underwear as a gift.
My dad would think they were funny to receive, and he certainly could use them. But by and large? No, I don’t think “wow, thanks!” is going to be the average reaction.
Agreed. Though the “fail” might be that the ad has an “lolfart” feel about it, whereas people with that problem probably wouldn’t want to laugh or talk about it…sorta scaring away customers.
*is too busy wondering where the hell the snow came from*
*makes snowball with what is left and hurls it after Sugar*
*cackles with glee when it hits him*
I was waiting for someone to say that!! I do too! I mean, ill hold it if im at like a job interview or something… But as soon as I get in my car, bombs away!!
I do too, but only because if I do and it draws attention, I can look at my 18 month old daughter and say, “SHOOOEEEYYY someone’s leaving Mommy a present!”
Totally real. I almost bought a pair a few years ago (I have IBS) but didn’t cos they’re really expensive and I’d heard mixed reviews. Fantastic idea though. And yeah this ad is pretty funny…and considering I’m the ad’s target audience I see this ad as more of a win than a fail.
BUWAHAHAHAHA. I just showed this to my boyfriend. Hey, baby, get a pair of these for the next time you eat chili, wouldja? XD
OMG I can’t breathe. LOL forever!
And if someone’s female junk smells so bad they need special destinkerizing underwear? What they NEED is a doctor! Omg. They have antibiotics for that!
I see…..but I don’t believe ?!?!?!
I know, right? Why would she fold herself in half that way?
*using macho voice* I think it would be great to have a chick that can do that right?
Oh? (Innocent voice)
And why is that ????
*still using macho voice* Come over here, and let me show the the great benefits…
*Plays violin for ambience*
Along with some Def Leoppard!
Great news! It’s up to 8.33 now!
You remember that tasteless joke I was reminded of the other day on another thread?
Well, I’m reminded of it again.
Do tell!
Ok…here goes.
What does 80 year old p*ssy taste like?
Depends….
HAHAH!
Oh, g-d, yes, that is…….memorable…… Bravo!
I warned ya, lol.
Truly tasteless jokes are the only ones I can remember unfortunately.
LOL! That’s a great joke but… I don’t think cats live to be 80 years old.
(taking a Buzz Killington approach, sorry)
*gets into something…..comfortable*
*gets into Victo*
oops did I say that out loud?
Really? I always thought you were a woman based on your comments.
I know right wouldnt that make it whistle? lol unless they were sound deading underwear too. I personally wouldnt be very into a girl if she dropped trou and she had on these things
They are competing with the Mormons. You can’t explain that.
Most definitely a win.
I now know what everyone in my family will be getting for xmas and bdays for all eternity.
This had better be real!
if they dont contain the sound as well as the smell what is the point? i still dont want to hear it…unless its really well timed.
Oh it’s not to contain anything, it’s because everyone in my family is a flatulent SOB and proud of it.
Smellovision?
*farts with confidence wearing Shreddies*
It really works!
smell you later!
Do they also help protect against sharts?
XD !!!
no, but they will surely keeo away sharks!

I am 40 years old and I find fart jokes and farting in general to be quite hilarious.
I’m sorry you never grew up.
I’m sorry you’re an uptight prude.
Rehcsif is right… if someone farts one should handle it like a grown-up, not by pointing and laughing …
Oh criminy…
If someone farts, I will handle it like a HUMAN, and laugh my a$$ off.
Grown up? Really? Air just came out of your ass, carrying with it microscopic particles of $#!+. How is that not funny? People are inhaling poo! That’s not funny, it’s hilarious!
LOL @ Drew!!!
Yes, thank you Drew.
It is ESPECIALLY hilarious to fart in a crowded elevator.
I am glad you never grew up Blarney.
Thanks!
Happy to have another proud member of the 40 and up club!!
Only 17, but I plan to keep laughing into my 40s
‘Only’ 32, but… my forties arrive in eight years.
Only 54, but still chuckling!
Go Skellie!!
If you stop laughing at silly stuff, you start getting old immediately.
The ”Real” NeverNever land
mmm quite.
You’re well today?
not really, but trying to fake it as best I can.
We’re all just here to soldier on, friend….
The slogan “Fart with Confidence” is a Fail, no matter what the product is. It’s a low-brow, vulgar, stupid tag line. Capisce?
Says you!
What would you rather it say?
“Break wind with confidence”?
“Flatus with confidence”
“Float air-biscuits with confidence”?
;p
It’s part of the advertising campaign.
The fact that it is ‘vulgar’ is irrelevant as it clearly suggests what the product is for and does so in a playful way, it is making the consumer feel more comfortable with a rather sensitive issue and maybe crack a smile at the thought of a such a pair of underwear.
This.
I actually think this is a GREAT idea, especially for someone who might have a chronic issue with flatulence.
The name… is odd, though. Maybe it’s got something to do with whoever invented them…
lol… you said ‘crack’. *snickerfit*
“vulgar”? Do you even leave the house?
YES.
Capisce? are these not short pants?
Ok, that made me lose it. Well-played.
PROBLEM?
NO.
maybe it should be toot

A little historical perspective for you.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatulence#Farting_at_will
Farting at Will?
What’s Will done to deserve that?
You don’t know Will very well do ya?
Right?!?!
The day someone stops laughing at farts is the day they should kill themselves.
Also if you dont think farts are funny, what the hell are you doing on this site? I think you need to turn on TV land and watch some reruns of Frasier
HAHA!
Right on t4
it’s real alright.

I need those.
I fail to see the fail. They’re for people with Crohn’s disease and IBS and stuff, disorders that give you really bad farts.
Agreed. Though the “fail” might be that the ad has an “lolfart” feel about it, whereas people with that problem probably wouldn’t want to laugh or talk about it…sorta scaring away customers.
But I doubt OP looked that far into it.
Now introducing the new Terrance and Phillip line of fart ENHANCING underwear. 5x the volume and twice the smell! Faaaaaarrrrrttt!!
I may have to send a few pair to some friends….
*runs at Avis but accidently trips and knocks her into a pool of melting snow*
Gah!
*runs away*
*is too busy wondering where the hell the snow came from*
*makes snowball with what is left and hurls it after Sugar*
*cackles with glee when it hits him*
*begs for forgivness as I am not at my best and unable to defend from your cruel punishments*
I got you with a soggy snowball, that’s good enough for me. Today.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore. Jesus Christ.
So move to Mars. We don’t mind.
*waves buh-bye to Cool Face*
bye
I wonder if she’s got Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or if she had to acquire her hypermobility.
I don’t see how this is a fail if it was deliberate…
Flatulence Filtering Underwear: It’s about time!
Now we know the future is here.
Giggity
…
…
EEEEEEEEEEW EEEW EEW EEEEEEW!
So if I fart really hard in them, do they shreddies? Because then my shorts would be soiled.
I fart with confidence anyway.
I was waiting for someone to say that!! I do too! I mean, ill hold it if im at like a job interview or something… But as soon as I get in my car, bombs away!!
I do too, but only because if I do and it draws attention, I can look at my 18 month old daughter and say, “SHOOOEEEYYY someone’s leaving Mommy a present!”
Now THAT’S hilarious!
But I went to the website, and it looks real!
Is this the product that was on Shark Tank? Nobody invested.
So people with crohns and ibs are bending their legs up to their heads? Seems kind of counterproductive if you want to not fart…
@Cool face… ummmm fart joke are always funny… or is that fumey… either way works I guess.
Where does all the depleted fartonium from these pants get dumped ?
Hey, um, why are they called “Shreddies”? That name doesn’t reassure me that I’ll be able to fart with confidence.
That’s a very valid point you raise.
Totally real. I almost bought a pair a few years ago (I have IBS) but didn’t cos they’re really expensive and I’d heard mixed reviews. Fantastic idea though. And yeah this ad is pretty funny…and considering I’m the ad’s target audience I see this ad as more of a win than a fail.
toot
How is this not an Epic win?
Thanks for your post great..I love it
Vulgar.
BUWAHAHAHAHA. I just showed this to my boyfriend. Hey, baby, get a pair of these for the next time you eat chili, wouldja? XD
OMG I can’t breathe. LOL forever!
And if someone’s female junk smells so bad they need special destinkerizing underwear? What they NEED is a doctor! Omg. They have antibiotics for that!
Antibiotics often cause yeast infections, FYI.
For that matter, who mentioned the female parts smelling bad?
Does it all unleash when she takes them off? Where does it go? Does she have to wash out the filter every 30 days like a normal “air conditioner”?
Shreddies is a British cereal that looks like Chex. Maybe they make you fart a lot?
