Man's trousers catch fire after fart joke goes wrong

A man had a close call after his friend used a lighter to ignite his fart - and his trousers caught fire.

A video shows Bin Touzi, of Jilin in China, lying on his bed as he prepares to showcase the unusual "talent" to his friend.

Bin's friend, who wished to remain anonymous, then takes out a lighter as Bin readies and raises his hip.

To both of their surprise, the fart ignites a massive flame and set Bin's trousers on fire.

Acting in shock, Bin rushes across and pats his rear end to extinguish the fire.

The video was filmed on January 4 2024.
