Sir Fart a Lot was the name of a humorous character in the popular children’s cartoon series. “Arthur: & The Nights of the Ring Of Fire”
Arthur: & The Knights of the Ring Of Fire aired on Australian television from Thursday April 11th 1996 (weekly) but was cut short after just 21 of it’s 46 planned episodes.
After an investigation by the Australian Profanity Watchdog Alliance (APWA), the show was deemed offensive due to its continuous references to bowel movements.
In the first episode Sir Fart a Lot was stuck over a river with the inability to swim due to water being infested with sharks.
Using wood gathered from the surrounding forest he constructed a small vessel and used his own form of wind power to propel to the other side.
The creators of the TV series, Dennis and Donny Goldblum, insisted that the show had been made crass by the production company and that their original plans did not even include the Fart a Lot character.
The biggest enemy of The Knights of the Ring Of Fire was a brown mud like creature that rose from pipes in the ground. It was never specified what the creature was composed off but many believe this was the inspiration for the character known as the “Sh*t” Demon” in Kevin Smith’s movie ‘Dogma’.
Never officially released on DVD, the series has become a cult classic with fans paying way over asking price for bootlegged copies of all 46 episodes.
