It really means you are fun and nasty...
But basically yes...
Read the composition here:
Nitrogen is the primary gas released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatulence is susceptible to catching fire. Not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained bacteria capable of producing methane[5]. Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum. The gas released during a flatus event frequently has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown. The incidence of odoriferous compounds in flatus increases from herbivores, such as cattle, to omnivores to carnivorous species, such as cats. Flatulence odor can also occur when there is a number of bacteria and/or feces in the anus while being expelled. A small amount of solid or liquid fecal matter in fine particulate aerosol form may also be expelled, and included, along with flatulence.

Any inflated balloon is gas filled.
Odds are your farts don't have enough pressure to expand the balloon against the normal ambient air pressure.

Not only is the balloon gas filled, but you have also proved that you are very clever, very big and an essential addition to any party.
Oh, and you are also extremely attractive to the opposite sex.

I don't believe so. Methane gas has a higher density than regular air, therefore the balloon would weigh more than air, and would sink to the bottom. And you would look like an idiot.

My older brother successfully filled half a balloon with his farts. It was awesome.

Yes. Then pass it to your friend and say its filled with helium.

Yes, so then you should try to suck it in like helium and see if you talk in weird voices.
