I was going to say fart jokes is a terrible comparison to jump scaress, but you are right. Both must be used sparingly and make sense in the scene to he useful, and most movies don't need them, especially if they clash with the feel of the movie. They can really destroy any tension or immersion when done poorly.
A lot of movies with jump scares would be better served with surprises instead, where the tension is broken but the way of doing it is through suddently seeing/hearing the unexpected without the sudden sting of a jump scare.
