Old Man With Impressively Large Belly Gets Stuck In His Seat Belt (Video)

by Connor Toole

I'm a huge fan of Boston accents, misused words and videos of people getting stuck in things (backyard wells and coal mines notwithstanding), so it's hard for me to overstate just how happy I am that this video exists.

This isn't exactly groundbreaking comedy -- at its most basic level, it's a guy with an impressive pouch getting held hostage by a seat belt -- but much like "The Big Lebowski," it's the subtle dialogue that really makes it.

There's something about his inability to utter the letter "R" that makes this guy sound more desperate than he actually is, as does using "hydrophobic" to describe the situation, which would only make sense if this van was in a lake.
