This hilarious video of a young woman struggling to get out of a river is made all the funnier by her friend’s laughter

We all love a bit of slapstick comedy and when it’s unintentional it’s even funnier. Armygirl has shared a video (originally posted by Al and Els Antics on TikTok) of a young woman slipping into a river and then having more than a bit of bother trying to get out.

It’s very amusing stuff but it’s made so much better by the raucous laughter of her less than compassionate ‘friend’.

Rather like the unfortunate woman in the clip, let’s dive right in…

But of course, this being the internet, there were the usual conspiracy theories…

Staged. Not funny

It is staged, look at the second "fall" further into river, normal reaction is to return immediately, not jump into water to make sure you are completely immersed.

For what it’s worth it looks pretty real to us!
