Farts aren't funny. You can tell someone a hilarious story about a calamity that happened because of a fart. And most wont even crack a smile. But had they been there, they would still be laughing about it today
Farting is funny, farts no as much.
You're not supposed to fart, nobody expects to hear or smell them. So when one is cut lose out of the blue. Many are laughing at that persons misfortune to chagrin himself.

Humor is the related to the amount of subconscious tension involved in the subject.
Things that make us insecure are also funny. Farting being one of them.
One of my favorite jokes is: "I have two wonderful children - and two out of five isn't bad!"
The tension there is about whether our parents really like us.
Another great joke: "I want to go quietly in my sleep like my grandfather, and not screaming and carrying on like the passengers in his car."
The tension there is about death and how we'll react to it.
Basically, about grim things we have limited control over.

Maybe not all guys. But a lot of them. Me included. I'm a grown, mature adult man and yet farting, especially when I do it is still as funny to me as it was when I was 10. In fact I think most males also think it is funny.
Two instances I remember:
1: When I was in gym class as a 3rd grader. Now I was this scrawny little kid back then- the smallest in the class in fact- but that particular day we were all sitting around on the floor as the coach was explaining how to throw a football or something and I let out this HUGE fart. I think sitting on the floor amplified it too because it echoed off the walls. The kids of course thought it was hilarious. In fact I'm snickering to myself writing this.
2: When I was oh- maybe 15 or 16- Dad had some important people over for dinner from work. We were all sitting around the living room, which had wood floors when out of nowhere I let this huge one rip and not only was it amazingly loud but it stunk like you wouldn't believe. I just sat there and nobody said anything, as if nothing had happened. I knew that secretly inside they probably thought it was just as funny as I did but manners told them not to laugh. I had the most difficult time not laughing out loud.
