Barbie, the beloved movie, is known for its humor, but it seems like not every joke hits the mark. Director Greta Gerwig recently revealed that during early test screenings for the blockbuster hit, she tried to slip in a joke she found hilarious – the “fart opera.”

Speaking to IndieWire, Greta Gerwig candidly shared her experience with the peculiar gag. “We’ve always tried to get in a proper fart joke and we’ve never done it. We had like a fart opera in the middle. I thought it was really funny. And that was not the consensus,” she said.

Even the film’s editor, Nick Houy, joined in the jest, remarking that the joke was out of place. “It was in the wrong place, too. We need to work it into a more significant narrative moment next time,” he playfully quipped.

The Challenge of Fart Jokes

While humor is subjective and fart jokes can sometimes land well, this particular attempt seemed to miss the mark. Barbie movie’s storyline explores themes of existentialism and dread, making the inclusion of a “fart opera” seem out of sync with the overall tone of the film.

In the end, the decision to omit the “fart opera” seems to have been for the best. Barbie has been a massive success, grossing over $500 million within its first week.

The film’s star-studded cast, featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, received praise from both critics and an adoring public, with Oscar buzz surrounding their performances.

Mattel’s Expanding Movie Universe

The success of Barbie has prompted toy company Mattel to unveil plans for multiple new movies, including Hot Wheels, Polly Pocket, and UNO. As the Barbie franchise continues to thrive, it seems like leaving out the “fart opera” was a wise choice, allowing the movie to keep its charm and appeal.

Despite the “fart opera” not making its way into the final cut, Greta Gerwig’s comedic touch adds a light-hearted anecdote to the film’s behind-the-scenes humor.

Barbie

While some jokes may not always resonate with everyone, the success of Barbie proves that trusting the audience’s sense of humor and keeping the storytelling on track can lead to a truly entertaining experience.

The chuckles from the “fart opera” episode linger among the film’s creators and fans, adding an infectious layer of laughter to the journey of Barbie’s creation. As Mattel ventures into new movie projects, it’s clear that they’ll continue to explore new ways to entertain audiences, leaving room for both hilarity and heart in their cinematic endeavors.
