Birds do it. Bees do it. Hell, even The Simpsons do it.  When it comes to video games, everybody teabags.

What is Teabagging? 

Teabagging occurs when you kill a player then crouch over his head up while jumping up and down as a final 'eat it, jerk!' move and especially enjoyed if the "victim" is a total friendly fire d-bag, grenade spammer, spawn killer, or for any other odd number of reasons. Most teabagging takes up residency in games like Halo, Wolfenstein, Left 4 Dead, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, etc, etc, and so forth...pretty much any game where your character can crouch.

No one is immune from teabagging. In fact, if a celebrity is discovered in a room during multiplayer gameplay you can almost GUARANTEE they'll be the target. If anyone could get the jump on Halo 3: ODST's Nathan Fillion in-game, oh man... I shudder to think of the violations that guy's avatar would go through (but I'm sure he doles out his fair share of 'bags' as well)!

I ACTUALLY found instructions...

   1. Kill opponent (this step is not necessary if your desired target is already dead)

   2. Move up to your victim's corpse

   3. Stand on top of your victim's corpse

   4. Stand then crouch repeatedly while standing directly over the corpse.

There are actual forums about the right and wrong way to teabag someone. Are you kidding meh?! C'mon, if you have to get instructions... put down the controller and walk away. You are officially Teabait.

Now that we know HOW, the question is WHY? Why does it happen? I'll tell you why: because inside, we're all 12-year-olds who find crotch humor funny. I've been in-game with studio execs and TV hosts who will teabag your face before your body hits the floor while giggling like a giddy schoolgirl. And in games like Left 4 Dead on Versus mode, you get to see the "bagging" close up. So (not) neat! 

I'm actually surprised that some game hasn't created a secret achievement for it yet and by the way, Girls are completely guilty of in-game teabagging as well. I usually yell something super inappropriate (and usually from a Kevin Smith film) like "TASTE IT! TASTE THE BOOGER FLAVOR!" or "37?!"

There's only about a million examples of in-game teabagging all over YouTube like they're like badges of honor to be shared with the masses. There's so many that you can usually find what you want with a few tag words. I wanted one from Halo 3 with the "Yakity Sax" theme from The Benny Hill Show and boom, found it in five minutes flat. 

If this video is any indication, apparently the key here is "The More, The Merrier". yeesh. This one features a 5 man teabag or what I like to call a "Tea Party."

Haaaaa...stupid yet funny. Hence, teabagging.

So, how do you avoid being teabagged? Well, you can:

-Play a game with no crouching

-Set your game (if applicable) to "no crouching"

-Don't be a friendly fire d-bag, grenade spammer, or spawn-killer

-Don't play multiplayer on Ridiculous mode if it's your first time playing. You're just asking for it, man.

-Oh, yeah...DON'T DIE.

So fire up your system, have fun, and don't be a douchebag or you may get tea- you get the picture.

Write it down.
