Andre was also a big fan of fart jokes, it seems. Vince McMahon himself even chimed in unexpectedly, stating, "Andre so enjoyed flatulence. When he passed gas, it was an event."

Mean Gene said, "flatulence was his trademark, and he had a real knack for lifting his left leg", while Tim White added, "you've never heard anything like it."

Cue the doc's most brilliantly surreal moment: Vince and Hulk Hogan both doing impressions of Andre's deep-roar fart.

Hogan then also explained that Andre liked to trap people in elevators with his farts, and if he let off an especially vile stinker on a flight, the pilots would be loudly cursing his name.

Gene put it best, though: "big man, big fart."
