The problem is why would boys even check this out, given how removed from what made FIM appeal to them? In fact did FIM appeal to younger boys given how supposedly removed they were from the fandom culture that won over older males? (Note the Guardians of Harmony toyline meant to appeal to them died after it’s single run, which is where future MLP series de-actionized/made less effort to appeal to the wider audience.)

Only thing I can think of is that some out of touch executive thought it would appeal more to boys.
Fart jokes can work, but the joke needs to be more than just farting.
The fire burps also Just make more sense

First episode with any sort of fart joke was episode 25, Puphunt, where it was Cloudpuff; first episode where it was Sparky was episode 31 (I believe), Haunted House.
For reference, the last episode to feature Sparky farting was episode 61, Attack of the Bunnisus, while the last episode to feature a fart joke was episode 69 (the second-to-last ep of s1), Equestria’s Got Talent, where again, it was Cloudpuff.
@PuffyDearlySmith
Oh, for episode 61? So in the animatic (when it was still Scoutward Bound) Sparky burped fire, rather than farting?

@Dragonpone
What exactly was the lead time for TYT episodes? I can’t imagine it would be more than a few months.
And what episode did this or other toilet humor start? That would help single out when they could have become aware enough to fix it.
This still leaves the question of why they thought it was a good idea at the time to incorporate at all, much less so important to warrant concept art dedicated to it.

Given the audience that would like such gross-out humor is so different than whom TYT seemed to be targeting, why’d it take until season 2 to do away with it?
Going by the dates on the scripts of this episode, they barely aired past 10 episodes when they started work on this one. There hadn’t even been gross-out in the show to that point, and by the time we got it Season 1 was almost certainly too far into development to change course.
Season 2 was likely the first point they could reasonably attempt to address any criticisms of the episodes that had aired.

I assumed the toilet humor was due to not having the time/resources/care to come up with anything better. But if they were willing/able to put enough thought into it to warrant concept art, what does that say?
