Dad hilariously attempts to do a backflip into a pool

That’s one small step for dad, one giant leap for viral content. 

Twitter user @Taymonnnzzz made quite the splash with this priceless video of her (allegedly) intoxicated dad attempting to do a backflip into the pool. 

After stating that he “should’ve been in the Olympics” and ignoring pleas to take off his shoes, the father leaps backwards. To call this maneuver a “backflip” would be a reach, it’s closer to a back flop. 

Regardless, he gets a lot of laughs from his daughter, and from the rest of the internet, for that. At the time of this writing, the video has racked up 1.26 million views. 

Apparently, the dad’s Twitter fame isn’t a surprise. According to Taylor, it was destiny:

We’re glad Taylor caught such a special moment on camera. If there’s ever an Olympic team for drunk diving, he’ll win gold.
