whoopie cushion

Rubber seat gag

A whoopie cushion is a rubber novelty item designed to make a flatulence sound when someone sits on it.

The cushion is inflated with air and placed on a chair; the victim's weight forces air through a narrow opening, producing the characteristic noise.

It's a classic practical joke associated with juvenile humor and novelty shops.

Someone put a whoopie cushion on the teacher's chair.
