You may be surprised to hear that we are not the first to attempt a world record with whoopee cushions.

A sports team in the States (don't ask me what they play - one of those obscure American ball games I think) call the Bowie Baysocks attempted the record for the most people to sit on whoopee cushions on June 29th 2004.

However according to Guinness the record is still held by the Quad City Mallards.

The Quad City Mallards, a member of the United Hockey League, achieved the
record for the largest simultaneous whoopee cushion sit with 3,614 participants
at Moline, Illinois, USA on March 19, 2004

Well done Mallards.
