Ok – Everyone is talking about the Air Sax, but no one has mentioned the air clarinet being played by person #2 – now, anyone can play an air sax, but the air clarinet takes real skill and immeasurable talent! (and you can tell the difference by the lips – Mr. Pursed Lips is def a clarinet playe, while Mr. Blowfish Face is def the sax player)
Oh my god. I think the second guy is playing AIR OBOE. His lips aren’t right for sax, you are right, but they also aren’t quite right for clarinet…I really think it’s air oboe!!!!
I was just joking with my hubby about how it aggravates me when people play air drums/guitar because they obviously never touched these instruments in their life. Then I told him “you never see air sax/piano”…thanks for proving me wrong. For you, I play some air key-tar
I’m not seeing the “air” thing going on here. I’m seeing that the 4 year old ring bearer just ran straight into a head butt with the guy on the right which ended in an unfortunate place. The guy on the left is just wincing in sympathy. The clapping guy just yelled, “Now I know why I love that kid!” and the woman next to him is failing in her attempt not to laugh.
A woodwind instrument is a musical instrument which produces sound when the player blows air against an edge of, or opening in, the instrument, causing the air to vibrate within a resonator. Most of these instruments were originally made of wood, but some, such as the saxophone and most flutes, are now commonly made of other materials such as metals or plastics.
Kids, this is what happens when you get hammered at weddings, bar mitzvahs etc. Not only will you embarrass yourself, but your family will never let you forget it. Now let this be a lesson to you!
BTW, that’s also a great “I just got kicked in the nads” face.

Well, what are you SUPPOSED to do when the DJ spins “Urgent” by Foreigner?
naw….he sucked down his martini too fast and the bleu cheese stuffed olive got stuck in his throat.
It’s actually the saxaphone solo in “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car” by Billy Ocean.
that was the exact song that snapped into my head immediately!! Ha hahaha!
Hank, you’re always in my dreams, but never in my car
Oh god, my mom did that the other night at a bar that was playing “Careless Whisper.”
Becky I want to party with your mom.
It looks like he’s going to sneeze…….bless you……
The lady to the left looks like she wants her own picture of the two exihibitionists!
It’s gotta be the sax solo in Rick James’ “Super Freak”. “Blow, Danny!”
That’s it!
Nah, it’s the solo from “Born to Run”! Look at how he’s into it…
I just heard Rick James yell that in my ear when i read it….. Silke your brilliant!
I was just joking with my hubby about how it aggravates me when people play air drums/guitar because they obviously never touched these instruments in their life. Then I told him “you never see air sax/piano”…thanks for proving me wrong. For you, I play some air key-tar
Not awkward, awesome.
I agree! I want this guy to be my friend!
Um, Shannon, (like a clarinet, oboe, and bassoon) a sax is a woodwind and a reed instrument.
I thought only guys argued when they were wrong!
Let me guess. Neither of these guys is the groom… right?
somebody ate too many peel ‘n’ eat shrimp…

Hey could’ve have been worse…he could ‘ve been trying air trombone!
Or air oboe.
wow. waaaaaay too many vowels in that response…
Gee, you are right, emm. And now I like saying Or air oboe over and over. It’s fun!
Get these guys together with the accordian player and you have one KILLER wedding band!!!!
Air wind?
I think this poor fellow just forgot to bring his inhaler.
That’s nothing compared to my hubby’s air MARACAS. Seriously, something worth seeing…
Air TROMBONE, anyone? I’ve tried to block out the images of my husband doing this, but then pix like this show up….
I love how it’s always the GUYS who feel the need to play air instruments, lol.
Mine just does the good old fashioned air-guitar. Sometimes the air-bass, if it’s a Who song >.>
air drums here
The man sitting behind them to left is either heckling them, or cheering them on. I can’t decide which.
Is the older guy behind them also playing an air instrument? Or calling out to the two younger guys to keep the noise down? Or playing the Limbo game?
Heimlich maneuver anyone…. anyone……
I’ll go ahead and guess that the band was playing “Like A Rock,” so the expression is part air sax, part hard rockin’ Bob Seger.
The guy in the forground isn’t playing air sax he just had a few too many and is now going to vomit all over the dance floor.
Wedding reception + music + alcohol + goofy middle-aged white guys = Awkward.
Um, a sax isn’t a woodwind. It’s a reed instrument.
It is a woodwind. I’ve played for years.
Um, isn’t that the exact definition of a woodwind?
Um, reed instruments are woodwind.
It’s actually still a woodwind though… look it up.
Um, reed instruments are by definition woodwinds.
Um, reed instruments ARE woodwinds.
A woodwind instrument is a musical instrument which produces sound when the player blows air against an edge of, or opening in, the instrument, causing the air to vibrate within a resonator. Most of these instruments were originally made of wood, but some, such as the saxophone and most flutes, are now commonly made of other materials such as metals or plastics.
From wikipedia
Am i gonna have to build you guys a boxing ring?
ummm which makes it part of the woodwinds.
the ‘wooden’ bamboo reed.
A reed instrument is a woodwind. Bravo.
um a cross bow is a woodwind but a compound bow is not.
…and a regulation size casserole dish with a lid is the PERFECT instrument.
Thank you. You successfully ended that realllllllly long bit of woodwind-a-palooza.
hilarious…when things get awkward always bring out the crossbow!
I literally snorted out loud that was so funny. so no LOL, but a SOL.
Um, people who begin sentences with “um” are so passive aggressive.
Not since the great compound bow-crossbow debate has this board been so torn.
Kimberly, what about the great “is that Chicago or not that they’re standing in front of” debate?
True that. Dark days indeed.
I forsee weeks of “It’s a reed – not a woodwind” comments in various submissions….
umm.. der ; )
STOP SAYING UM, you self righteous poops !!!
Um, I’m going to need you to work late
Um…
BANTER!….lol
Ouch! how unfortunate to be documented this way!
They shoulda had the chicken
“I think people are going to like this.”
“I think you’re going to hear crickets.”
wedding crashers is such a quote-able movie
That’s awesome! Hahahaha!
Is the lady on the left laughing with them? or AT them?
I slept on that guy’s couch for a month!
Hahahahaha LIterally!
Blowing an imaginary trumpet may lead to reverse peristalsis
Oh wow… This is the ultimate air “instrument” face… AWKWARD!
Kids, this is what happens when you get hammered at weddings, bar mitzvahs etc. Not only will you embarrass yourself, but your family will never let you forget it. Now let this be a lesson to you!
BTW, that’s also a great “I just got kicked in the nads” face.
I think this is why there isn’t alcohol at many of the weddings I’ve been to lol
Now that is dead on!
Oh, you just KNOW Springsteen’s “Dark Side” is playing in the background!
Eddie and the Cruisers, but hilarious nonetheless.
billy ocean
John Cafferty And The Beaver Brown Band, actually actually.
I’m hearing the sax solo from Dion’s “The Wanderer”.
Oh man, now I feel awkward! 80s Music Trivia: 1. Me: 0
Oh, for the love of Kenny G!
And the guy in the back is clapping for them? Sir, please don’t encourage this behavior!!! lol
I think the guy behind him is not clapping, but blowing his own horn.
Its the jazz clarinet I think…lol
Anybody want a cookie? ‘Cause here they come!
chunks ahoy!
Yes! Totally looks like he’s about to toss his oats.
