That's a funny gag

Those kazoos are the wrong way round.

Would it still make noise when you inhale through that end? It’s been far too long since I’ve dooted a kazoo for me to remember

Well this was fun. Had a little panic attack there that I didn't know how to kazoo and a random ball gag meme was the way I was to find out.

I doubt it, I am not a kazoo expert, but they seem to make their noise by built up air pressure.

5 time Kazooathon champ here (not really but I'd wear that with pride) - the close-to-source fluctuation in pressure from humming into the big end (not blowing/inhaling) is what vibrates the membrane in the circle making the noise. It's possible to play it from the small end with terrible results, same with plugging the small end to create greater pressure - sort of ruins the physics. I believe a whistle would be more directly related to built up air pressure? (or a woodwind in general?)
