We might tire of their sanctimonious views on cricket but you can’t argue the Poms have a wicked sense of humour.
Footage of a sleeping plane passenger being preyed upon by a mate has gone viral on Reddit — and it’s truly a prank of supreme ingenuinity and poise.
The vision begins with our snoozing victim sitting mouth open, with his arms folded across his chest.
In his mouth already are two Pringles, delicately stacked. But the hero of our story is determined to add more.
Barely controlling his laughter he adds a third. And a fourth. And then a fifth.
The chap sitting in the window seat is having the time of his life but gets far too carried away when he suggests adding a laminated safety card to the pile.
The instigator wisely opts against the move – but it’s not long before the house of cards comes crashing down anyway as our dozy mark’s head flops forward and the Pringles drop in his lap. But he never wakes.
The video went viral on Reddit and prompted a wave of hilarious responses.
“It’s like Jenga, but with Pringles,” one wrote.
“How did I know they were British before I put the sound on,” wrote another.
“I adore that the older gentleman got to be ‘just one of the boys’ again. He is thoroughly enjoying himself,” added a third.
“This is the best Pringles commercial I’ve ever seen,” wrote a fourth.
