I tried for an hour. Woke up in the ER. I apparently passed out from no oxygen. The nurse asked me what happened. I told her I was trying to whistle with my fingers but was a dismal failure. She then says, "You mean like this?" Now I can't hear anymore.
Sounds like you have a working plot for a new summertime comedic movie.
boonie dog
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is so funny
@@lethumthiyane5245 too funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
🤣
All jokes aside I actually almost passed out
Hayden B. [Archive] me too. Everything went silent for a sec
Hayden B. I started getting light headed
Same haha... but not haha
Same I littery passed out like srslyy
Haha me to
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!!!! The one secret that I couldn’t find in any videos is that the idea of curving your tongue over is to get the tongue out of the way, *not* to make air flow over it in any way. So relax your tongue and just let it naturally push against your fingers and stay in the bottom of your mouth-don’t use any muscles in your tongue at all. If you do this, all the other tips they give you start working.
Also found that the more of an ‘ok’ symbol I did with the 2 finger version, the easier it became to whistle.
Pls like if this works for you so more ppl can see it! It is so satisfying to have finally learned how to do this.
your the goat
Al this is to cover the cross knight templar house
This worked thanks
alright gonna try it out
after every thing else, THIS seems to be getting me closer to a nice loud whistle. Cheers mate
For years, I've been trying to find out how to do this by myself, and after a few minutes, I got my first whistle. It stopped working for a little, but now I can whistle like this much better but still not perfect, lol.
Thank you for making my dreams come true!
My dad is asking me
“Are you drunk?”
I'm the 420th like bdw
masaziors nice
how does it feel to be drunk
My dad walked in and was like “what are you doing pot head”

Thumbs up if you just sprayed your monitor with spit
I’m using a phone lol
a shame i can only give it one thumb's up. LOL!
You suck
Do you know what a like button is?
I’ve been the first 17 years of my life not knowing how to whistle. This video has taken me out of the dark and into the light. Thank you.
I know you would do it. 😀
I've been trying to learn how to actually whistle for probably 5 years with nothing. 5 minutes after this video and I got it. Absolute madlads! LOVE THE CHANNEL!
Video or it didn’t happen
I'll be damned. It works. Scared the neighbor's dog and possibly gave the wrong idea to a passing jogger, but it works.
Joshua Noble lol!
You are lucky😥
And now he and that jogger have been married for four years.
Safety instruction: Don't try this next to a cat. Mine thought I was hissing at her, went mad and clawed me XD
I don't If I have to luagh or say your cat don't take bullshit from anyone XD
Haha or a dog, my dog stared at me for a short while then leaped up in a playful position thinking I’m ready to play 🤣
Thanks, I'm actually sitting next to my adorable little furball rn
EXDEE
Ink Stain, don’t get a cat then dogs will never claw you for anything
After like an hour on trying to do this, I FINALLY made a small whistle and I’m so HAPPY‼️ I was actually gonna give up but now I have a new motivation to continue practicing😍😍💯
This is the best!!!! I'm 42 years and thank to this lovely video i finely learned how to whistle properly!!!! I'had tried many times before without results so i accepted that i gonna die without knowing how to produce this joyful sound, but now i'm so good at that and my two boys looks at me with respect!😃 you changed my life forever!!!
him: whistles successfully
me: spits on anything and everything
this

Yep😑

Please, drop more of your definite articles
Years of attempting this. Got it within 10 minutes of watching this. Excellent advice!
Hahaha... I had not been able to do a cool whistle with my fingers since I first tried when I was a teenager. Several people tried to teach me how to do it unsuccessfully throughout the years so I finally gave up trying a few years ago... now, more than a gazillion years later I was finally able to get a nice loud whistle after watching this video in only three tries! I never thought to look up a video about this mundane topic in order to solve the mystery 😅. A million thanks!
All that came out was a gallon of saliva
I can't stop picturing this in my head
@@Hypnopotimus27 oh my gosh the comments are so funny
Can confirm, kepp tissues close. It doesn't work when u got droll all over ur lips and fingers ._.
Lmao
Me too
Instructions unclear,
Accidentally sold my grandma on cregslist
Oh, thx
She'll be missed dearly....🙏 made awesome brownies
almost chokes drinking tea and reading this
@@elvatosquatcho those weren't brownies...
Ahhh looool
Hey man,
You don't know how excited I am to thank you because I was trying this since my childhood and finally got the exact result after watching ur vdo .....thank you so much....l learnt it
DUDE I LOVE YOU! I’ve tried for 26 frikkin years of my life and you made me do it! SUCCESSSS
For anyone who's struggling, I found that no matter how many videos you watch or how many articles you read, the principles behind the whistle remain the same. It's all about finding your own personal sweet spot, and once you find it, you'll never forget. I was just about to give up for good when I suddenly (and very randomly) found the perfect combination of tongue curl and finger placement to get a nice loud whistle. Just keep at it!
Art of Manliness thanks for a very helpful video!
Jake Feinerman Great advice!
this gives me hope
What happens when I've been practicing this for 4 hours and it doesn't work
this gave me hope and made me pass out also
@@CaptainAbrecan if your a man you don't give up

I tried it once and I did it! Amazing! I’m so happy, I’ve been wanting to be able to whistle with my fingers since I can remember and now I can do it, thanks to you! x
I know this video is 9 years old now but god damn bro! After years of trying and giving up, five minutes after watching this learnt and now get to annoy the Mrs in another aspect! Much appreciated

This is important information, folks.
It was so close to work for me but NO. :D
YES THANK YOU IT FINALLY WORKED EVEN THOUGH I MESS UP A LOT WHEN TRYING THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKED NOW I CAN TELL MY COUSINS THANKS DUDE I SUBSCRIBED! YOU MADE ME SO HAPPY! :D
Pooya S
Well well well, similar pictures we have if I do say so myself.
Except mine is an inverted version of the default G+ Business profile logo.
If it didn't work the best, make sure your fingers are far enough back, your lips are wet and you tile the fingers far enough apart. I could'nt get it at first either. However, doing this when everyone was seeping was a bad idea for me XD.
I don't remember much of them anymore but this was definitely one of the rights to manhoods little secrets.
Art of Manliness I love you man
Wish my mom was here so she can laugh with me on how I learned how to whistle, mucho appreciató ;)
I’ve been trying to whistle like this for 7 years. I watch this video and 5 minutes later I can do it. Thanks man
I watched this 4 years ago and still can't whistle
Same man same
@@sunnyandalfie4365 yeet
Dang dude, but what you should do is repent and get right with Jesus Christ today
Adil Khan took a week but it’s easy. The most important thing is getting an acute angle with your fingers. Also a good tip if your finger nails shouldn’t touch the top teeth
The Stealth bro literally one second after i read your comment i did it holy fuck thanks!!!
2:04 how I look after this video.

I’ve never been able to do this in my life. Within 1:18 of watching this video and simply blowing, I could somehow do the magic whistle. Thanks for this video!
I saw a tiktok on how to do it yesterday, i tried for 20min then stopped. Today I watched this video and 5min after I could do it, thanks man.
This quarantine got me learning things i never thought I'd put time into 💀
Bro real shit lol
Same man
same LOL
Lmfaooooo!!!
What quarantine
The only noise that came out of me was a crying dog’s whimper.
I always wanted to be able to do this..ever since I was a kid. I tried this and by george I got it on the first try! AWESOME, BRETT! It reminded me of the first day I could ride a 2 wheel "big kids" bike. THANK YOU!
I had been struggling hard for ages and nothing had worked,
This worked for me like magic in the very first time
Thankyou so much
glad i'm not the only one who search this
DUDE!!!! I've been trying for over 50 years to learn how to whistle like this. My dad had the most awesome whistle. He would whistle and we would come running from everywhere. 2 strong memories. First, I was about 7, living in Newark, NJ. I usually hung out with the older kids. We were playing touch football. Our block against the next block over. We were playing them on their block. My dad blew his unique whistle. The older guys from our block grabbed me and we ran to see what my father wanted. I was amazed at that. Second, I'm 20 years old and was downtown Newark. It was the first of the month, which we called mothers day. Downtown was packed. I was about a block away from the main intersection downtown. I was talking to some friends and heard my father's whistle. I can't see him, but followed the sound. When I got to my father, he had this look on his face. It looked to me like pride. It was a smerkish grin. He was calling me because my girlfriend at the time, saw him and asked had he seen me. I then realized that he was smirking because he knew that his training had sunk in. Will never forget that considering he passed away last year.So, learning how to whistle really means a lot to me. Thanks bro.
sorry for your loss, and what a great story!
@@thetrickster9885 it’s definitely possible, the word bro became popular around the 70s, and 50 years ago was 1972…
yessir im frm jersey 2
Sorry for your loss, it sounds like your dad was pretty cool.
Great memories man all the best
Thank you soo much man, I’ve tried for a long time, and after watching this video I learned it in two minutes 🎉
Got it on the first try, bloody hell fire !
I too have been trying since I was a kid, and was making the mistake of assuming that there had to be a gap between the tips of my middle fingers for the air to pass through.
Thanks a million.
The only thing I did was gag myself LMAO what the hell.
My fingers smell like ass now
John Haggard Wrong end...
Now I can't whistle I'm laughing too much!
John Haggard What on earth were you eating?
Groceries that's what he was eating ...
lol
I am literally laughing out loud because with the help of this video I did it! I'm 46 and I've always wanted to whistle loudly. It took me about 10 seconds to get a good sound! 😂
I’m 48 and trying to get my whole family to learn this! A useful skill I think. I remember watching a video where a lady was stranded in a blizzard and was able to whistle for help. The guy she was with died trying to find help. 😢
After about half an hour, I’m getting pretty consistent results. The tips everyone else is giving are spot-on, but I noticed something that might help, too. If anyone’s ever used an acorn cap to produce the same sort of whistle, I notice that the gap between your fingers and bottom lip is the same triangle shape that you want to try and make with the acorn cap method. Hope that was almost descriptive enough to help someone 😅
Every 2-3 years, I try this for 4-5 hours,
It's been going on for 13 years!
I still can't do it.
KingAlpaca try adjusting how far your bottom lip goes over your teeth I'm 13 and I learned this in a day
I learnt it instsnlt
49 years of wondering how this worked . . . 7 minutes after watching this video I got my first whistle. After 15 minutes I could do it reliably. Thanks!
Can you still do it reliably after 2 years?
I'm lightheaded. It may be because I'm a girl lol
@@Nodnarb69 nope. I guess I had better rewatch and figure it out again.
Damn
@@chinaarlene7035 I’m a boy and also lightheaded after a couple of seconds
I did exactly what you said and it worked!!!!!! Wow!!! I have been trying for years to do this and on your instruction I got it on my first try. Thanks!!!
I was laughing at joy because it's been years and this is the very first time I am able to do whistle. Thanks man 😄😊
Keyboard...covered in spit...
or phone screen, tablet screen, or even carpet because of youtube on your tv(feel like I said this same reply twice, or even three times)
haha same xD
Omg, same but on my iPad Pro screen

I PASSED OUT DOES THIS MEAN IM NOT A MAN
you gotta try harder dude
Yup
omg
What are you a fairy passin out just ain't for us manly folk
UsernameX no it means your dumbass self hyperventilatedand passed out
I figured it out in like 3 minutes after watching this. Thanks man. Childhood dream come true!
The only video made me successful in whistling, I actually watched many videos before this.Thank you Sir.
Still fucking can't do it omg
I can't either
You have to create space between your tongue and your front teeth. Your tongue, cheeks and your fingers seal and force air to go into that space from top. (The seal and the space is why it works, the "curl your tongue" just does it automatically for most people)
Wow !! I had given up. Got it on the first attempt :)
You have to keep on trying i was trying for about 10 minutes and then i got it now i just have to practice

Ah yes, the “Dad can you show me how to do that one whistle?” whistle
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! It worked at my FIRST TRY!!!! I've been trying for ages! Thanks man!
Best tutorial ever took me few years of blood sweat and tears to finally pull off this whistle I can now annoy my neighbors even more with this in my arsenal.
OH MY GOD IT TOOK ME FIVE YEARS BUT I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!! THIS IS TRUE MANLINESS 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Jackson Gray did it actually take you 5 years or not (actually wondering) ???
Do you have ADHD?
TheGuy WhoPlaysChess has to
I tried this.. I almost threw up..
saaammeeeeee
Shabazziii Bam you got gag reflex😊😊😊
Shabazziii Bam me too
Next time wash your hands first
Shabazzi Bam Not so deep. (That's what she said!) You're trying to whistle, not find oil!
wow your the best. I've always wanted to whistle and this worked my dog literally ran to me when i did it thanks your a life saver
I got it down after one minute! Thank you so much! Great video!
How to Whistle With Your Fingers [VIDEO] buff.ly/1rTCy7p
Awesome
First try worked perfect didnt even had to watch to the end!! awesome!!!
NTTuber good for u i killed my self over it...well almost..
Now my computer screens all covered with spit and everything's all spinny. I think I did it wrong.
Art of Manliness Thanks ☺
I did it, OMG!! at first i had to turn down the video's volume cause i couldn't believe i was the one who made that sound, you don't know how long I've wanted to do that, thank you very much dude, I'll never forget you. You just earned yourself a new Subscriber.
Worked on first try! LOVE YOU @artofmanliness!!
literally got this in 10 mins, my mistake was pushing my tongue too far back! You the real mvp I can flex on my friends now ;))
40 some yrs and you helped me it’s so loud we all have a headache and I’m lightheaded but can’t stop 😂😂 thank you!!!!
I actually sreamed in my room when a sound came out after following these steps and blowing air between my lips. This is something I never thought I could even figure out how to do. Now I'm trying to get it perfect just like yours. Thanks a million
How are things going now?
Art of Manliness I struggled a little bit to get it perfect, but I live in a country where almost every one knows how to do that (using fingers on both hands, on one hand, or even no fingers at all, drives me wild) .So sometimes I would walk around on the street, with my fingers in my mouth making weird sounds, and some random guys walking by would just blow a perfect whisle out to show off a little bit. It kept me going so I got the technique right and it's pretty good now.
Art of Manliness It doesn't work for me. ):
i suck at life :/
BEST VIDEO EVER LEARNT HOW TO WHISTLE AFTER TRYING FOR 10 years just from the vid
OMG!!! Ive tried to whistle using my fingers in 3 stages your video being the 3rd and EASIEST, and the LOUDEST using 2 fingers on each side. first i tried the "OK" finger Formation and didnt get a peep, then i tried using both pinky fingers it was much louder and alot easier then your way..ITS SOO LOUD AND I DID IT THE FIRST TRY. THANX MUSTACHE GUY YOU ROCK...now i rock too
Couldn't do it first, after 5 mins I got a slight sound!! I'm so excited XDD
I can whistle without my hand
But I can’t whistle with my hand WTH
Same WTH
Same
Saaaame
I can't do either
Same
Thank you so much! i have been trying to learn how to do this my entire life and I finally managed to do it! Freaking out right now!
I’ve trying to do this for years and got it less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much keep up your work
Tip: Wash yer hands first. I'd recently taken a shit and trying this made me feel sick. I'm gonna try again tomorrow.
Maybe start washing your hands like a normal person after shitting, actually disgusting.
@@MewsDabest Kinda makes you think twice about shaking hands. I'm more of a knuckle-bumper.
Bruh, why did you walk out of the bathroom like that in the first place
@@bullballsallday and 8 other people agree with him lmao nasty asses
This didn't age well, did it....
To the ppl that got results kudos to you, 👍, because I didn't :(
Thanks! You will get it if you keep practicing.
AYO! THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! I still have to sort out the technicalities of it to get it perfect, but, all I can say it, you’re the man 🍻
Even though I knew how to finger whistle since February 2023, I kind of struggled with changing the pitch, and seeing from how you finger whistled using the 2 handed method, the harder you blew, the higher the pitch, but the softer you blew, the lower the pitch. I might experiment with that to see if I can finally learn to change the pitch!
I keep gagging when i put my fingers in my mouth....... yeah lol
That's not the only thing you gag with inside your mouth..
+Leo the Lion a spoon?
+Leo the Lion a tooth brush?
that a girl! remember you gotta relax your mouth if you wanna fit a whole fist down there.
IamJUSTa Ghost that's a god sign lol
Awesome. Finally pulled it off after many hours of no success throughout the years. Got the two handed method for a few attempts / seconds after watching this video after practicing for an hour (and lost it after that), then got it somewhat consistently the next day (and even more consistently the day after). Then after figuring out my mistakes, got the "ok" single hand whistle somewhat consistently, although still need practice. Some pointers that worked for me:
- Practice in front of a sink with a mirror. You'll want to rehydrate and wet your lips, and you can see better where your finger placement is and how much of your tongue is folded.
- Make sure your fingers are keeping your tongue completely FLAT when the tongue is folded. It's very easy for your tongue to get out of position /or fold only partially.
- You may have luck by having the bottom of your tongue PUSH BACK against your fingers (but still make sure tongue is completed folded flat).
- Your fingers should NOT be jamming your tongue all the way to the back of your throat. Your folded tongue should be near the front of your mouth. Adjust how much of the tip of the tongue you're folding. For me, my tongue is folded about a finger nail's length.
- Your lips / mouth should only cover the top of your teeth, and then a little more. i.e. you shouldn't have to "stretch" to the max your mouth to as far back as you can to cover as much teeth as possible.
Yesssss!!!!,finally...
Flat tongue trick worked for me, i learned just in a minute, thnx man👍
You're awesome, thanks!
This comment is so goddamn helpful omg it works and i made it from the first try!! Thanks so much
Thanks this was super helpful! the channel should add this to their video!
Thank you!! This helped me do it!
OMG!!!!!!! My whole life I wanted to do this! I did it!!!!!
I literally jumped with joy!!!
I feel liberated.
🎉
Wow! Awesome dude! I've been trying this for a few years and thanks to you I made it first time round! Great job! Keep doing!
I know this is "manliness" vid, but I nearly cried when I heard the sound coming from my face... a whistle, after all these years. Praise the lord! Time to spread the "real" good news... lol. Thank you for posting this!!!
Me too!! I almost feel like I should become a construction worker so that I can - - no wait, I'm getting carried away.
But hell, it's a minor miracle. Praise the whatsisname.
Ikr!
I did it too... i didnt expect this to work...BUT WOW
im about to pass out
adult supervision required :)
CIRCADIAN RHYTHM I'm 23 so I'm an adult so I'll supervise my self
I finally did it for the first time before this video even ended, very helpful instructions!
Thank you man !! After one hour to search I finally find you !! I'm not perfect in my technic but I'll continue to train
first time in my life that I have whistled with my fingers! And I'm old! Thanks for the lesson Brett. You are so entertaining!
Lies
I am not even kidding! It took a solid 20 seconds or less to make a loud wistle sound with the clear instructions! Thanks so much!
Worked amazing I was able to whistle about halfway into the video definitely getting a like 👍
This is the best Whistling Tutorial, I did it in 2-3 tries
Just leveled up on the Man rankings.
I got it right off the bat and I could never do it until now
Got this in 16 seconds. Even before the video finished. Fastest hand in the west lol. Thanks man!
Okay so I’ve been trying to learn this for years and from time to time I give up and come back later. Well this is the first video I’ve watched in my start up to learning to whistle. Got to 2 minutes into the video and learned how whistle. Shocked myself honestly.
Fucken hell. I can't do it.
Keep on trying! I couldn't get it at first but now I can do its,
ash3rr because this guy is a fraud.
Try again, but this time think about this:
the tongue almost doesn't do anything. You're just pushing it out of the way. Don't press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. That will ruin it. The actual whistle happens at the lips, at the hole you make with the help of your fingers. Finding the sweet spot is just a matter of making that hole the right size by squeezing your hands closer or relaxing them more.
Again, lower your tongue and keep it out of the way.
Let me know if that helped!
Taylor Yarick It realy worked.I just practiced 10 min. Ago THANK YOU
Taylor Yarick holy shit your tip is so important I got it first try using your tip after sending 30 minutes trying from this video's instructions.
When you said "fold your tongue back" it was at that moment that I realized I will never be able to whistle like this because I'm literally tongue-tied aka ankyloglossia. Surprisingly, though, I have zero speech impediment.
My cousin also has that, she can't even stick out her tongue properly
me too lol. I have a very slight lisp though
Actually, people have success doing this placing their fingers on the middle of their tongue as well, experiment, finger whistling is surprisingly individual
I was born with ankyloglossia but had to have a surgery as a baby to get rid of it, they literally just sliced it lol
@@daveprice5911 thank you for this advice I was trying with tongue curled couldn’t seem to get the right sound got close a couple times but then I tried not curling and just putting pressure on the middle of the tongue and got it almost immediately.
So I have never whistled with my fingers before, and apparently i’m a “natural” at it. I watched this at about 1:45 am, and got it right off the bat. My ears rang and my grandparents AND my REAL parents came rushing into my room. After I told them what it was they where still skeptical about it. I decided to show them what happened, and blew really hard. The next half an hour was the most intense 30 minutes of my life. I blew so hard that I made my dads ear BLEED, and we had to call 911 because we couldn’t drive because everyone was half asleep. But still after all of this i’m still saying thank you for teaching me how to whistle
wtf?
I used to be able to whistle without using my hands, but a few years ago I got sick and the muscles on the left side of my face stopped working. I'm fine now, thanks, but there's one spot on my upper lip that still won't cooperate and the hand-less whistle is still not possible for me, so I thought I'd give this "taxi cab hailing" method a try. I got a for real, awesome whistle after only about 5 minutes of trying! I can't seem to do it again, lol, but I'll keep practicing. Thanks for the great tutorial, I just now realized it's going to hit it's 10 year anniversary this year.
