'''Corpse-humping''' or '''teabagging''' refers to the act of repeatedly crouching over the dead body of a killed enemy, intended to mimic a sexual act. Online players teabag most frequently as a "victory dance" to insult and aggravate the victim. Doing so, however, can distract the performer from their surroundings, leaving them open to death from another player or the victim (after having respawned).

'''Corpse Humping''', widely known as '''Teabagging''', refers to the act of repeatedly crouching while standing over the dead "body" of a killed enemy, intended to mimic a sexual act. Online players teabag most frequently as a victory dance to insult and aggravate the victim. Doing so, however, can distract the performer from their surroundings, leaving them open to death from another player or the victim (after having respawned). The crouching action was originally created for the purpose of avoiding getting hit or to hide, but online players mostly use the crouching feature for corpse humping. An alternative to corpse humping could be [[melee]]ing or shooting (given that one is not using an explosive weapon, or one with limited ammo) the body, just after the victim was killed.


==Overview==
==Disadvantages==
The crouching action was originally created for the purpose of avoiding getting hit or to hide, but online players mostly use the feature for teabagging. An alternative to teabagging could be [[melee|punching]] or shooting the body, just after the victim was killed.
*It leaves the player vulnerable to attack.
 
*This can lead to opponents becoming annoyed and teaming up on the player.
The action of teabagging (albeit without a corpse) is also sometimes performed to egg on opposing players; in these situations, the crouching player is effectively saying "come and get me", with the intent that the opposing player will come closer and be killed.
*This can earn the player negative feedback.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Halo 2]]'' on the mission [[Metropolis (level)|Metropolis]] during the Scarab fight, a [[Sangheili Ultra]] in the Scarab will occasionally teabag you if you die in close proximity to it.

*In ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST|ODST]]'', [[Bungie]] included a "dead reflex" so when a player teabags the head of a dead opponent, the opponent's head moves up to the player's crotch. In contrast, ''[[Halo 2]]'s'' reflex was only to move up and down, while in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved|Combat Evolved]]'', there was no change or head movement whatsoever.

*After the [[Prophet of Truth]] is killed in ''[[Halo 3]]'', his corpse can be teabagged. [[Disappearing Truth|Doing this will cause him to fall through the platform he is on]]. You can still see him under the platform, but you cannot reach him. If you kill the two Elite Combat Forms on the platform and teabag them, their corpses will also fall through the platform.
*After the [[Prophet of Truth]] is killed in ''[[Halo 3]]'', his corpse can be teabagged. [[Disappearing Truth|Doing this will cause him to fall through the platform he is on.]] The player can still see him under the platform but cannot reach him. If you kill the two Elite Combat Forms on the platform and teabag them, their corpses will also fall through the platform.
*In ''[[Halo 4]]'', projecting a [[Type-27 hologram|hologram]] onto a corpse will make the hologram hump it.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM82Lv0FU50&feature=g-user-u '''Achievement Hunter:''' ''Halo 4: HoloHump - Easter Egg'']</ref> Similarly, the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis|Mantis]] bipedal walker is capable of crouching, much like an unarmored SPARTAN; while this maneuver's usefulness is somewhat negated by the Mantis' large size, the motion allows players to teabag dead opponents while still driving the vehicle.
*In [[Halo: Reach]], many players say that [[assassination]]s are the new teabagging. These have sometimes been called Reach Teabags.
*In ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', the campaign mission [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]] features a [[Legendary]]-only easter egg that involves corpse humping a dead [[Promethean Crawler]] near a closed gate just before reaching the [[Gateway]]. If the Crawler is humped in the same spot where it spawned 117 times and it stays in that same spot for the entire time, [[031 Exuberant Witness]] will be able to shoot highly-damaging gauss beams, making her extremely useful during the dual [[Warden Eternal]] boss fight at the end of the mission.

*There are also quotes in Halo 3 and Halo 5 by enemies and allies respectively,  that either threaten to do this to the player, or comment on this behaviour.
