It’s all fun and games — until you get stuck inside a Skee-Ball machine.
A video depicting a boy trapped inside the game at a Las Vegas arcade has gone viral on Twitter.
Clearly an ambitious player, the tot held onto the rim of the 5,000-point hole as his mother desperately tried to pull him out, pleading, “Give Mommy your other foot.”
But the boy’s parents certainly didn’t score any points on social media. Twitter users criticized them for not keeping a closer eye on their kid — who had apparently crawled through the small gap where balls enter the point pockets.
The boy’s punctuation-challenged father quickly fired back: “It’s the people with no kids that don’t understand it takes 2 seconds the little guy is quick.”
He’s also not alone in getting jammed up: In the Florida town of Titusville, a kid somehow got trapped inside a claw machine and couldn’t get out until the local fire department came to his aid. Despite the shenanigans, the little opportunist was allowed to keep the toy he was initially trying to get his hands on.
Earlier this year, a 2-year-old was similarly stuck in an arcade game until first responders came to his rescue, while a NJ cop was forced to smash a toy after a tot was caught inside it.
At least one person more than enjoyed watching the pint-size spectacle of the Skee-Ball snafu. The guy who videoed it can be heard laughing hysterically to the point that he cackles, “I’m crying.”
