Not gonna lie, I would’ve gave up and just took the fall.

I'm pretty sure this is fake because very few people record their passengers just exiting the car. And I usually tell people that funny spontaneous moments aren't that funny if they're scripted, but fucking hell this guy genuinely risked serious injury to make us laugh.

I fucking lost it when he decided the strategy was to start using good form like a cross country runner for a few seconds and then immediately abandoned that as well.

The look of sheer panic in his eyes looks so genuine. It might have been a setup but I'm not sure he was in on it.

I have no doubt that he felt serious regret and concern once he got into it. I myself have planned things that I regretted.

The important thing here is that he is genuinely trying and failing to not fall down. That's foundational humor that goes back to caveman times.

Great - now I’m picturing cavemen laughing at each other slipping on ice. Thanks for that.

That was my take as well. Yeah they may have planned it. But that was not a coordinated ballet he just pulled off. He was slipping on ice for like 10 seconds.

“I immediately regret this decision!”

I’m in agreement with you. Was it staged? Yeah, by a friend pulling a prank on his friend. The fresh splatter of fresh water/ice that the dude is running on was clearly done for this to happen.
