Kendra Lynn is a born Hoosier like me so when I booked her for a shoot, I knew I had to do a gag testing video with a series of Indiana-themed gags! Tied in a chair wearing a cow bikini, complete with a set of ears, Kendra is ready to try out these gags to find out if they’re any good! With each gag I take decibel readings from two different distances using a sound meter app, Kendra tries to sing a song for you to guess, and then she is given 20 seconds to escape the gag.

Kendra Lynn is a born Hoosier like me so when I booked her for a shoot, I knew I had to do a gag testing video with a series of Indiana-themed gags! Tied in a chair wearing a cow bikini, complete with a set of ears, Kendra is ready to try out these gags to find out if they’re any good! With each gag I take decibel readings from two different distances using a sound meter app, Kendra tries to sing a song for you to guess, and then she is given 20 seconds to escape the gag.

Gag 1: Indiana is known for farming, especially corn and soybeans. Soybeans seemed like they’d make a terrible gag so I decided to try out a bit gag using an ear of corn. First I stuff Kendra’s mouth with two sponge balls and then attempt to secure an ear of corn between her teeth using some thin rope. I hadn’t tried this before and it was difficult to get it tight but I tried. Another attempt may fare better. Maybe groves could be cut in the corn to keep the rope in place.

Gag 2: Indiana is also known for its love of basketball so to represent that, I stuff a squishy basketball stress ball into her mouth and seal it in with strips of durapore tape. Kendra doesn’t think it will hold so I add some yellow athletic wrap over it.

Gag 3: Can’t have an Indiana-themed gag clip without one inspired by the Indy 500! I went with using cloths to represent flags used during the race. First her mouth is stuffed with a pair of socks. A green flag is used to start the race, so she is cleave gagged with a green cloth. A yellow cloth is tied over her mouth to represent the caution flag. When one lap remains, the white flag is waved. After I tie a white cloth over her mouth, only one more layer remains. That last layer is a black and white checkered cloth tied over her nose and mouth, just like the flag that indicates a car has finished the race.
