The trick to make the Old Man fall on his bum in Untitled Goose Game is to dispense with any subtlety, and just 100% commit to the prank. Wait until the Old Man picks up his harmonica then gets ready to settle down on his stool. Get behind him, and as he prepares to sit you need to grab that stool and quickly pull it away as far as possible! Ironically this makes less sound than a sneaky movement, and as long as you move the stool far enough away that the Old Man won't hit it as he falls, he'll drop like a sack of spuds and you can tick this task off your To Do list for the pub. HONK HONK!
