I Buried My Dad Alive 💀
Dad insists on being buried up to his neck. Getting out, he promises, will be easy: "Your old man can still break out of anything in ten seconds flat."
Then beachgoers start screaming. A huge wave appears on the horizon, and the father discovers that tightly packed sand is considerably harder to escape than his boast suggested. His Story's Short is a 3D-animated tale, not footage of a real beach rescue; the channel describes its stories as fictionalized.
The son digs with his hands, freeing his father's arms without managing to release the rest of him. Eventually, Dad tells him to leave and head for the boardwalk stairs. The son tries a different lever: "Are you chickening out?"
Viewers have picked up on the story's elastic timing, joking about how patiently the tsunami waits through the prolonged escape attempt. His Story gives the pair a looming wall of water, but still leaves time for a family argument.
