Oh yes, the suspense and rollercoaster thrill of the "watching a person type a 2100 character string" setup would just make the "listen to a half-second fart noise" that much more amazing.
Well, I once attended a party where a guy typed a 128 bytes program in binary form (using ALT + number) in edit, run it in DOS and the thing did what was expected. That was amazing and totally worth the wait :)
