T-shirt Stuff

t-shirt-stuff

Like Long John Stuff, except with a T-shirt. Bring up 2 or 3 guys wearing t-shirts and have them each choose 2 or 3 friends to help them. Hand each group 10-20 balloons and instruct them to blow them up and stuff them in their designated team member’s t-shirt.

As each group stuffs balloons in their team member’s shirt, he will begin to look like the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man. At a given point (when you see that their shirts are almost maxed out), count down from 10, stop the stuffing and have the “stuffers” go sit down. Have the audience vote by applauding who looks the most stuffed.

If the game ended there, I would think it’s lame. Here’s where the fun begins. Now inform each fat boy that it’s time to pop the balloons. Offer a prize to the person that can pop all their balloons first, (there’s a catch!) without taking them out and without using their hands. They have to throw themselves on the floor, body slamming their torso on the ground to pop all the balloons. This is hilarious to watch and the audience will love it.

See Long John Stuff, also on the Up-front page.
