More like a troll-er coaster.
A Brazilian woman had social media in hysterics after failing to maintain a straight face while on a roller coaster in a bid to win an argument with her husband. A clip of the meme-able moment amassed 17.2 million views on TikTok where users laughed at her ill-fated attempts to keep cool under pressure, Jam Press reported.
“I was trying to show I had a really good poker face and prove my husband wrong about me not having a good one,” Isabela Barbosa, 22, who hails from Brazil but now lives in Richmond, Virginia, told NeedToKnow.online.
In order to win the marital contest, the influencer and actress said she tried to test her game face in the “best/hardest way possible” — by “trying to not show any emotion while riding a rollercoaster,” per the clip.
!["My husband feels happy, [about the video too], also in a sorta way like 'I told you so' because he knew I wasn’t going to be able to keep a straight face," said Barbosa, conceding defeat.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/Jam_Press_JMP246812.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=471)
In the hilarious clip, filmed by her hubby Benjamin Lumsden-Cook, Barbosa can be seen doing her darndest to keep her face in neutral as the train car careens around the tracks.
She manages to maintain a poker face while the ride is clicking up to the top, only to break character as both the car — and her act — go downhill. During the course of the ride, the Brazilian gal flashes the camera some zany expressions as she tries in vain to suppress a smile.
“[Looking back at the video, I am] very happy, a little embarrassed because of all the weird faces I make but all in all I’m happy I put it out there for the world to see because every time I watch it, I laugh,” said Barbosa, who boasts more than 642,000 TikTok followers. “My husband feels happy, [about the video, too], also in a sorta way like ‘I told you so’ because he knew I wasn’t going to be able to keep a straight face.”
While her TikTok challenge ultimately proved unsuccessful, it made an impression on the platform with one bemused viewer writing: “You made every facial expression in the book. The ones during the shift turns got me weak tho.”
