Needs a room

Four commands. You'll still get caught out.

Four physical commands, called faster and faster, with the occasional deliberate trick. Nobody is out and nothing is scored — the laugh comes from an entire room doing the wrong thing in unison. It is the shortest activity here and the one most likely to be asked for again.
