(WCMH) — A security guard who went viral for recording his farts while on the job, has been fired. According to Mashable, a security guard known as “Paul Flart” went viral after a video was posted of himsfarting at his job during the past six months. However, his new found fame eventually cost him his job when his employer saw the viral video. Despite arguing with his supervisor that there is nothing identifying the company that he works for in the videos, he still lost his job. In an Instagram Live, Paul Flart, whose real name is Doug, shows the moment he’s fired and tells his followers, “That’s it, we lost the job, guys.” Don’t fret though, Flart told Vice that he plans on launching his own merchandise in the future, and may take his flatulent filming on the road with a travel show.<doc-sep>Art. What is it? Can it be a glistening, fat, mustachioed man being filmed in an extreme close up, reacting to the sounds of gas being released from his colon, shooting through his sphincter, and reverberating off his ample ass cheeks? Yes. Obviously. Just watch this video. That [hand clap emoji] is [hand clap emoji] art [hand clap emoji]. If someone can sculpt The Statue of Liberty out of dirty diapers — not a real thing (yet) but it sounds real — then surely this man documenting his at work flatulence qualifies. The man, who has only identified himself as Doug, is a hospital security guard at a Florida (of course). His online alter ego, however, is Paul Flart. Because he is large. And a security guard. Like the popular(?) Kevin James character Paul Blart. But also this guy farts. You can consider him the fart authority. As Officer Flart explained to Vice, he started doing this bit because he was bored at work and, presumably after unleashing an absolute banshee one day, he realized the lobby he was stationed in had some pretty great acoustics and good sound… for farting. Advertisement Soon Flart’s Instagram account went viral and his employers caught wind… of his wind. Flart, like so many of his farts, was pushed out. He even filmed himself being fired. It’s a serious conversation about farts. It’s worth a watch. [vimeo 286361761 w=640 h=1139] Though Flart’s watch may be over, he says he intends to continue documenting his ass blasts on social media, wherever they may be. He has fans now. He is literally a worldwide hit, receiving messages from followers in countries like Holland and Germany. They tell Flart he makes their day. Advertisement And you don’t think this is art? The man creates it, and it inspires! It brings joy! If that’s not art, then nothing is. You snobs.

A man who filmed himself farting for six months has been given the sack. A guy who goes by the name Paul Flart has been posting videos of himself letting one rip nearly ever day since March. Flart’s Instagram account is chockers with close-ups of his face while he, ah, coughs in his rompers and makes humorous facial expressions. But even though it’s primarily showing his face, you can clearly see what looks like a security guard uniform and signage behind him. If you check out his Instagram, you can see dozens of clips like this, the point at which humanity has reached: MORE: Tourists get classic ‘Strayan greeting an hour after arriving from America We managed to get a hold of Flart, whose real name is Doug, to ask him a really important question: why? “The front lobby of the hospital I worked at had amazing acoustics one day I had to rip a fart and was amazed at the sound,” he told 9Pickle. “Things progressed from as I conferred with my group chat and Paul Flart was born.” Paul Flart, you might twig, sounds very similar to Kevin James’ character Paul Blart on Mall Cop. And this might make you think this whole thing was fake, but Flart has assured 9Pickle that he “one hundred percent” worked as a security guard. He said he was stationed at a hospital in central Florida. The bloke has profiles across social media platforms, including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, so he was making no secret of his extracurricular pursuits.

A super edit of his previous work was posted to the LadBible Facebook page on Monday, clicking up nearly 10 million views. Later that day, Flart says his boss was on to him. And on Thursday, he posted a livestream of what sounds like a pretty definite sacking. The clip had been viewed more than 635,00 times by Friday morning, and appearing in news stories around the world. Flart, to his credit, copped it on the chin. “I don't see the point of trying to get my job back,” he said. “I was fired, it happens and we are gonna move on. “As far as what's next, the content has to keep coming. “I'll still do whatever I can to make videos and bring joy and happiness to those that watch.” He has since launched a crowd-funding campaign, where people can support his work. Flart’s sights are now set squarely on his new life goal: to become first person to make a living off farting.<doc-sep>
Paul Flart's infamous farts cost him his job. The flatulent security guard went viral for filming himself farting at work for the past six months. He dutifully recorded his toots on Instagram, and then blew up on Reddit on Tuesday when someone posted a fart compilation. The post even inspired a compilation of his expulsions arranged in order of length, which one Redditor called "the Sistine Chapel of fart videos." Unfortunately, the newfound fame cost Paul Flart his job. In an Instagram Live video, Paul Flart — whose real name is Doug — recorded himself getting fired. It wasn't his actual farting that got him dismissed, but the fact that he recorded himself on the job. "It's come to our attention that you recorded yourself, wearing that uniform, on our client's property," his supervisor says. When Doug pointed out that none of his videos showed any logos or identifying details about the workplace, his supervisor handed him the official write up. Then Doug turns to the camera and shrugs, "That's it, we lost the job, guys." As his now former supervisor berates him for recording on private property, Doug keeps going: "Please stay tuned, I appreciate all of you." So what's Doug going to do next? He told Vice that he has Paul Flart merchandise in the works. Helpful Redditors encouraged him to contact Jimmy Kimmel and get a manager. Doug is ready to hustle for his farts, telling Vice that "we live in a society where this is the big popular thing right now, but next week, unless I'm doing more than keeping it going, it's going to be nothing." He also hinted at making themed fart content. "We can do Paul Flart on vacation, you know, throw in like a Hawaiian shirt and a hat of some sort," he said. "And then just fart around Florida."
