Brazilian Laurel and Hardy: Watch a bumbling garage worker twice injure his father-in-law with a giant steel bar as it falls on his foot — and then on the back of his head
- CCTV footage of the incident was captured Monday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- A metal pole set up by an auto parts dealer falls on his father-in-law
- But the man puts the pole back up, and the pole falls down a second time
This is the moment when a bumbling auto parts dealer injures his father-in-law twice with the same steel rod.
The admittedly hilarious CCTV footage from a store in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was captured on Monday.
The video shows salesman Andre Luiz leaning a long metal bar against the front door of the garage.
But when he takes a step back and turns around, the bar slides down, hitting his partner’s father, Luiz Carlos Niegesk, in the foot.

After howling in pain, he takes off his shoe and sock to check his foot for injuries.
Andre, 20, apologizes profusely but then tries to get the bar back up in the exact same spot.
Again within seconds it topples over again but this time it hits Luiz, 64, in the back of the head.
Wincing in pain, he can be heard screaming, “Ai caramba!”
Andre later told local media: “It was an accident, I didn’t want to do it.”
After watching the footage, Andre, Luiz and Luiz’ son Raphael – who also features in the video – found it hilarious and decided to share it on the family messaging app group.
It quickly went viral, garnering millions of views.

Andre joked: “Someone from the family group posted it and it just went on and on and we became famous.
“To this day I don’t know who posted it first, but on Twitter alone it has had more than six million views along with the other networks.”
He revealed that the mistake didn’t cause any bad blood between him and his father-in-law or between him and Luiz’s daughter.
